. . . .One Date May Change every thing.
It was finally Sunday. I worked Friday and all day Saturday, which sucked, caused Murray was sick and I did everything. Then Damien has been calling me nonstop making sure I remember our so-called date. Now it was Sunday and I can sleep with no interruptions until my cell rung.
"Hello" I said groggy maybe they will get the hint.
"You forgot didn't you. I knew it" Damien said huffy and puffy.
"I did not"
"So do you all ways sleep till 2:30 in the afternoon"
"What!?" I got up and looked over at my clock. "Look I meet you down stairs in like 30 minutes, ok?"
"Yea will I'm already down stairs. So please don't go back to sleep"
"I wouldn't. Bye" I laid back in bed and then move slowly to the bathroom.
I trotted down to the front of the building. The sun hit me as soon as I opened the door. There was a light breeze but unusually warm. Just enough for a jacket. Of course Damien was waiting for me leaning on a parked car. Damien was rocking some all black Chucks, dark tater jeans, a concert t- shirt, and his trademark black jacket. I stepped towards Damien and give him a hug. He held me close then took a step back and looked at me up and down. I was wearing black uptowns (Nike), a fitted red and black shirt, black jeans, and a red jacket.
"You forgot didn't you" Damien said,
"No, I didn't forget. I just woke up late, ok. End of story" I said hoping he'll let it go. I started walking up 59th st. try to ignore the fact that I may have a tiny bit forgot. Damien walked up behind me, grabbed me by my waist and pulled me close to him. We stood there nose to nose. I could fell his breath on my neck as his lips brushed my chin.
"Fine you woke up late. But your going the wrong way" He back away slowly and grabbed my hand. I hate it when he does that. He pulls you close and driving you to the edge of the peak then he backs away. Jerk! ! We walked up five av and I had no idea what he was planning.
"Ok so I'm bored now . . . " Damien cut me off and pointed in front of us.
I looked and focused at what he was pointing too. I could believe my eyes. There awaiting us was I horse draw carriage. I looked back at Damien a little surprised he planned this. He guided me to the carriage and helped me in it. I took a seat then Damien handed me a dozen white roses that seem to come out of thin air. He took a seat next to me then the ride begun though East Central Park. However, the whole ride Damien was inching closer and closer to me. He looked at me for a moment and I turned and looked at him.
"How do you like the date so far?"
"I'll tell you when it's over" I said and grabbed his hand that was resting on his lap.
We rode what seemed like and hour of two. The sun had a golden haze around it with pure white clouds surrounding the sky. We must have come to our destination because the carriage came to a smooth stop. We exited the carriage and walk just a little bit before we came to a mass of people.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Today is the last day for the Winter Festival. So we are just in time for the Concert"
"What concert?" was all I could get out before Damien started dragging me toward the Concert stage.
We were at a good distance not too far but not to close. Apparently, a local jazz band was playing all the classic R&B songs. Damien is obsessions by old classic R&B songs. I don't know why but he loves them to death. We stayed for a while we even danced a little bit. Again Damien had yet another surprise for me. We walked for what seem like forever. Then he had the nerves to ask me to close my eyes I did. I finally closed my eyes and we had a private dinner awaiting us in the park. There was a candle lit dinner for two. A personal chef and waiter waiting for us by a separate table where the food was set. There was absolutely no one around us but the park and us. The dinner was amazing and so was Damien, no surprise there. The whole time we kept looking at each other. After the glorious dinner was over then we had to get home. We headed out back to my house.
" So you enjoyed the date"
"No, I loved it. You really impressed me. Very surprising is all I can say." We finally arrived at my door.
"So I guess this is goodbye, then" Damien said
"Yea . . .but doesn't have to be goodbye forever" I leaned in and kissed Damien a short peak. He glared at me for a moment and back in this time with a long yearning kiss that must have been holding back. The apartment door was swung open interrupted us. My dad stood there just as dazes as we were.
"Hey Daddy" I said taking a step back.
"Hey Mr. Wellborn"
"Damien I didn't know you were back in New York"
"Yea I got back a few weeks ago"
"Good, good"
"Bye Mr. Wellborn and tell Mrs. Wellborn I said hi" Damien said and kissed me lightly on the cheek. I turned to my dad and walked in the apartment. I shut the door behind me and swiftly tried to go to my room.
"Janelle we will talk about this in the morning whether you avoid this or not"
"Yes Daddy" I whined and made it to my room before I could hear any more.

More than 50 years ago, my father would take me to The Vivarium, or small reptile house, at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. Little kids still love it, especially little boys. All those snakes and toads and creepy insects behind glass. This is a picture I took today of the worn steps at the entrance.

Same for arcane.
Due to there being so fewer "pawn" values these days (I find stats that are pretty good are significantly more useful than l2sim comments.) However, since it runs on the Mac I did get simulcraft runnning. Does the current version produce a good enough guess for 4.2?
Basically, I need #s for five places:
"Shopping/planning" on lootrank, Mr Robot, and WoWhead
Entering into pawn for quick "is this an upgrade should I need" decisions
Entering into reforgenator/reforging manually.

OAK RIDGE (WATE) - Community members met to talk about how to end homelessness in Anderson County.
The forum was held at the Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church, where members along with the Trinity Out-Reach Center of Hope, or TORCH, organized the event.
Social services agencies, faith-based groups and members of the community talked about the current state of homelessness and possible solutions.
Organizers say these kind of events are important because they build awareness.
"It kind of removes the blinders that some people have to the man walking down the street with his backpack on. He's probably not going to school. Many times he's living out of that backpack and he's homeless in our community and we just look right past it," said Zabrina Minor with TORCH.
So far this year, TORCH has served 141 homeless individuals in Anderson County.

"A vegan in a Hummer has a lighter carbon footprint than a meat-eater in a Prius."
Michael Pollan (via @nichcarlson) (via soupsoup)
In other coincidental news, I'd rather drive a Hummer than a Prius because one is like operating an overhead projector, and the other is a real vehicle. I'm delighted that somehow this means I could?
You know, in that make-believe world where I have a car and not a tofudog and a bus pass.

I didn't have an iron skillet, so I ended up making it in a regular pie pan. It was really full, so it took a little longer (about 10 more minutes) to cook all the way through in the middle, so next time I will divide it between two pie pans. Overall, very good and moist and my hubby said it was a "make again"
Sour Cream Cornbread
Ambrey Posted: 12/01/10
TriKelley Posted: 01/13/11
While this came out moist, it had no flavor at all. Maybe it would be better as a side with something other than chicken, but as it stands now, we will not be making this again.
SilverSunflwr Posted: 01/11/14
I'm a southerner and come from generations of southerners who grew up making cornbread. This recipe is outstanding, easy to make, and very flavorful. If you want a little extra, add some diced jalapenos to the mixture. Keep in mind, this is not a sweet cornbread. As is, my hubby said it was the best cornbread he's ever had, and I have to agree. Today will be my third time making it over the last month.
seaside725 Posted: 01/08/14
I agree with TriKelley. This was a moist cornbread and it was easy to make, but it was lacking in flavor.

Listen to an audio version at
RICHMOND, Va. (BP) -- A letter recently published on my local newspaper's editorial page helpfully summarized the view of many secular folks when it comes to religious expression in public.
We "stand for separation of church and state," the letter writer declared. "Pick your religion, believe what you want, pursue greater knowledge toward that end. Do it for yourself -- and keep it out of public discourse. That's where the [secular] left stands."
I appreciate his honesty, if not his all-too-common misunderstanding of church-state separation. Open hostility toward freedom of speech is better than paying lip service to it while working behind the scenes to silence it. Either approach, however, is wrong.
"Keep your views about God and His commandments to yourself," society increasingly tells believers -- particularly conservative evangelicals, traditional Roman Catholics and Orthodox Jews. "Socially accepted truths and morals have progressed beyond your antiquated theologies. If you can't embrace the new normal, just keep your mouth shut. If you don't, we'll shame you, shut you down, call you a bigot. We might even take you to court and charge you with 'hate speech.'"
Such responses to religious speech undercut the spirit of the First Amendment. You have every right under the law and the Constitution to express almost any religious belief in public. If those views happen to be unpopular or minority positions, you still have the right to express them. That's why the First Amendment exists.
Free religious expression in the United States didn't come easily, as I wrote in a 2008 column, and it won't endure without vigorous exercise and defense. State church tyranny was the main opponent in the nation's infancy. Baptists, who experienced persecution by state-controlled churches in Europe and early America, played a key role in helping forge religious freedom in the new nation. Today the threats to religious speech are coming primarily from secular extremists who see biblical Christianity as "intolerant" and evangelism as "hate speech."
By far the greatest threat to religious expression, however, is the self-censorship practiced by believers. We fear offending someone more than we care about telling him or her the truth. We don't want to be thought intolerant. We don't want to go against the pluralist grain.
Let's find some inspiration and backbone from followers of Christ in tougher places who put everything on the line to share truth.
Recently I met several Muslim-background believers in North Africa and the Middle East. They are taking full advantage of new freedoms gained with the "Arab Spring" revolutions last year to spread the Gospel and make disciples. After generations of enforced silence, people in a number of Arab countries feel freer to express their opinions and seek their own answers, at least for now.
"Sometimes I even get calls from [militant Islamists]," one believer told me. "They just want to know who is the right God. So I think God is really working after the revolution."
Another believer was arrested multiple times for telling people about Jesus before the revolution in his country. He just could not stay silent about the wonderful truth he had found. He's wiser now about when to speak and when to be quiet, but he's just as bold.
"Before, I was controlled by the government," he explains. "I had to go and sign in every three months and tell them everything -- what I did, where I moved. If I was having any guest [in my home], I had to go and ask permission. I really hated that. I feel freer now in doing God's work."
Even if the new freedoms disappear, however, these believers will keep telling others that Jesus is the only way to God. If they aren't afraid to talk about the truth in places where the hammer could come down at any moment, why should we be?
Don't squander your freedom in the land of the free. It's not guaranteed.

5-Minute Hairstyles
The Neat Chignon
"This is an easy hairstyle for long hair whenever you want to look polished," says Oded Gabay of New York's Lovella salons. Simply pull hair into a low ponytail and secure with an elastic band. Braid the ponytail, secure with another elastic at the end, and wrap it around to create a tight, neat bun. Use bobby pins to hold it all in place.
The Messy Chignon
There are many variations on the classic chignon, but this slightly haphazard one is particularly of the moment. "For a softer look, pull little strands of hair out of the braid so it's not as neat," says Gabay. Grab the end of the braid where it's secured with an elastic band, and pull only one piece of hair up so it becomes a poof. Tuck in the ends like a messy bun and secure with bobby pins.
Soft Curls
"I would highly recommend that any woman with medium to long hair have a set of medium-sized hot rollers," says Gabay. "Hot rollers are the healthiest way to achieve soft curls without burning hair, as is common when using a curling iron." Simply wrap dry hair around the rollers, leave on for five minutes, remove and run your fingers through the curls to separate. Set with hairspray for a soft, bouncy style.
The Wispy Braid
If your hair is longer, try braiding it at the nape of your neck in a single strand to the side -- rather than in the center -- of your head. Secure with an elastic band, and pull a few strands free to keep it from looking too confined.
The Top Knot
Like Vanessa Hudgens, women with long hair can pull off this style. Pull hair back into a high ponytail, smoothing the sides with your fingers. Wrap the loose end in circles, then secure with a few bobby pins. The trick here is choosing the right height for your face shape -- not everyone can pull off a top-bun, but most can find a sweet spot at the crown.
The Sleek Side Part
Styling short hair can be a challenge. For a quick and easy style, try an off-center part. Comb a part a little closer to the side of your head than you normally would, and smooth flyaways back with gel. It looks sleek and neat dressed up or down.
The Mid-Height Pony
Cameron Diaz's pony isn't too high or too low -- it's just right, and just dressy enough. Start by parting hair down the middle, then secure hair back with one hand while using your other to pull strands into a slight bump at the crown.

Strange Things That Happen In The City
Mr. Manhattan
Alongside my girlfriend visiting her grandmother in New York City, we were leaving the Manhattan Club together (a snazzy time share on 57th Street) after a fine breakfast on the 26th floor.
As I was heading out when I saw an older man stuffing mints into his duffel bag. He looked a crisp 70 or 80, clean, well-dressed in a nice sweater vest, button-up shirt and slacks. When I walked past him he said, "Hey, young fella."
I stopped. "Yes?"
"Want some soap? Shampoo?"
"Um.." He opened his duffel bag to show me a large collection of complementary mini-shampoo, conditioner and body wash.
"They give this stuff away for free," he said, darting his eyes around. "Smells great."
I nodded and left with my girlfriend.

Understanding the 4 Stages of Sleep
Thanks to our natural internal rhythms, or biological clock, we tend to (or at least hope to!) fall asleep with the moon and wake up with the sun. What happens in between, however, is a bit more complicated.
Sleep happens in stages, and these stages are measured by brain wave activity, which cycles up and down throughout the night.
- Stage 1. As you begin to dose off, you drift from relaxation into stage1 sleep. This very beginning, and very light, stage of sleep is characterized by theta waves, which are very slow frequency brain waves. Theta waves are similar to what our brain waves look like when we are awake.
- Stage 2. Just minutes later, you enter Stage 2, where you are still in a light sleep characterized by theta waves, but every minute or so, the waves become more frequent. If you are woken up during either one of these theta stages, you might not even realize you had fallen asleep.
- Stage 3. About half an hour after you first fall asleep, you enter stage 3 and the beginning of a deeper level of sleep. This stage is characterized by delta waves, which are the slowest brain waves.
- Stage 4. Within about the first hour of sleep, you enter stage 4, the deepest level of delta sleep. If you are woken up during delta sleep, you are likely to feel groggy and disoriented.
Collectively, these four basic stages are known as non-REM (non-rapid-eye-movement) sleep and they represent about 80 percent of your entire night's sleep.
What About REM Sleep?
The REM (rapid eye movement) stage is the period of time during which you dream. REM sleep occurs periodically thoughout the night and accounts for the remaining 20 percent of time you spend sleeping. If you are woken up during REM sleep, you are most likely to have a clear memory of your dreams.
This is how it works: Your brain cycles up and down through the four basic stages of sleep about four or five times a night. So, in a normal night's sleep, you repeatedly drift into stage 1, move down through to stage 4, then back up through stages 3, 2 and 1 again. After the first stage, however, REM sleep takes the place of stage 1 sleep. Each full cycle generally lasts around 90 minutes so that you go into a dream state approximately every 90 minutes. As the cycle continues through the night, REM stages last longer and delta stages get shorter, until the morning, when there is no more delta stage and you wake up.

Getting excited with my girlfriend
December 2, 2012
I can't seem to get "excited" with thoughts (or bikini pics) of my long distance girlfriend. I am far too young to have issues with this in a general sense and I don't. I can still get turned on by other things, and videos and what not (you get the point). We haven't met yet but we will be meeting in the relative future and something sexual might happen, and probably will.
I am typically a very anxious person about things, I hype events up in my mind and get nervous and worry about it all, so I think this might be mental. I am pretty certain that I love this girl a lot and the relationship is very serious so far. I just can't seem to get turned on by the thoughts of her, even having sex with her or her naked. I don't know what the problem is, but I think it might be mental.
I'm hoping maybe when we actually meet and I see her or we start kissing or whatever it may be... I get excited and things end up working out. Maybe its because I've never actually seen her nude? I don't know. I've used my imagination with other girls just fine but with her its difficult and it takes a fair amount of physical touching to get me turned on with her.
I'm also very nervous and super insecure about my own body, and the performance anxiety coupled with this is just a disaster. And on top of that I'm a virgin, so it will be my first time EVER kissing a girl and doing anything sexual with a girl. I don't even know how to kiss really (advice on this would also be helpful) and I'm scared I might not be able to satisfy her due to my inexperience. She has been with a few other men but has never gone "all the way" and I have been with no one. I am trying to get in shape before we meet so that I can think a bit less about my body.
Any advice would be really helpful.

It sounds like you have a fairly easy time getting turned on by things that don't involve interaction with another person. Understandably, it's a lot easier to be nervous when you realize there's another person involved, even if they're not actually there, because all of a sudden emotions happen. It can feel like porn is totally safe because it's got nothing to do with you and can't possibly go anywhere, whereas even the pictures of your girlfriend come with some emotional strings for you. I don't think this means there's anything wrong with either of you, just that this is frightening which makes perfect sense.
If you really like her, be honest with her and trust that she'll be honest with you. Tell her you like her and are anxious/shy about being with another person. Keep in mind that it might be hard for her if she feels like she can't turn you on; that can be scary and confusing and feel like rejection. If you explain ahead of time that you like her and find her attractive but feel anxious that will probably make her sympathetic instead of defensive.
Also, don't worry too much about your body! I would venture to say that MOST people are super insecure about their bodies and she's probably feeling just as anxious as you. By all means get in shape if it will help you feel better but being naked can just feel vulnerable no matter what you look like. Don't be ashamed of feeling uncomfortable about it.
Good luck! Just be honest, don't freak out, and it will be okay.

We haven't met yet
I am pretty certain that I love this girl a lot and the relationship is very serious so far.
Okay, first of all, I am not going to say that you can't fall in love without meeting somebody, or that all internet relationships are doomed to fail. However, the difference between talking to somebody online and meeting them face-to-face is
, particularly when it comes to sexual attraction. Attraction is something that you can't control and can't make happen, so it strikes me as problematic that you're talking about this as an established relationship already, and that's only going to exacerbate the sexual pressure. When I was dating guys I met online (via okcupid), I often found that the ones I liked most online were the ones I felt zero in-person attraction to.
I'm assuming you're both young (as in, teenagers). Is this relationship solely an online thing? Have you talked on the phone, or chatted on Skype? Are you familiar with her body language, with her facial expressions, with her voice? All of these can influence sexual attraction, and they might be better predictors of how you'll feel face-to-face than a photo.

Relax and slow down a little bit. The sexual stuff will come- seeing/getting to know this person IRL is definitely a good first step.

I am. You can't fall in love with someone you've never met. It's fine that you think you'll get along well with this person but even if you've been video chatting and such, none of that translates into how a person conducts themselves in person. Their personality, that is.
To answer your question, you're having trouble in this area because you're worried about having trouble in this area. Assuming you're actually attracted to her, which you don't mention.

It sounds like you're planning to meet and like, when you meet, you're planning to have sex. But you really shouldn't decide what's going to happen on your first meeting before you actually see each other. Bear in mind that your personalities are really close, but your bodies are, as yet, complete strangers to each other. Take it at the pace that feels natural to both of you when you see each other, not something predetermined -- even among much more sexually experienced people, it's totally normal to wait a while before having sex. So don't feel like you have to do a lot of sexual stuff the first time you meet because you don't know when you'll get another chance. If you really like each other, you'll make another meeting happen, and if you do sexual stuff then, it'll be a generally better experience because you'll be more relaxed and confident.

As someone who knows what it's like to resent people for saying internet relationships aren't 'real' because you can't smell a person or see their facial expressions, I'm here to tell that the importance of this varies depending on the triggers you have for attraction. I don't fall in love-- or lust-- with people's facial expressions, and my sense of smell is basically nonexistent; instead, I'm the sort of person who places a
high premium on mental connection. So, well, YMMV, though if that was what was driving you, you may not have the same concerns. You should give yourself some space to figure out what really 'works' for you with people (in terms of attraction), if you're a virgin. Don't listen to people who have some idea of what 'normal' is; just allow yourself to figure it out yourself (as you will).
That said, I remember what it was like when I was really in love with Internet Guy, and oh boy, it was a guarantee we'd have done it if/when we first met. However, this was spontaneous-- not really photo-based but not photo-immune either. Anyway, he still had similar anxieties to you (so you're ahead of the game of anxious internet guys if you do meet her). Please see a counselor or talk to a real life friend and expend some effort to lower your anxiety (performance and otherwise), or a lot of things can get very messed up. Fear and attraction don't go well together. It can get pretty awful for her and for you. In any case, it doesn't seem you have the hot-and-heavy attraction me and Internet Guy had, so I'd put the breaks on a little bit. Don't force it, you know? Maybe you'll like her more in person, or maybe you won't, but forcing yourself to masturbate to her isn't helping and probably raises the anxiety/pressure levels.
One reason it may be more difficult is that you feel pressure around it, which isn't sexy. Maybe find ways to relax/reroute, and enjoy some attraction without masturbating to it. Like, voices can be sexy and there's an intimacy to phone contact pictures lack. Imagination (that is, visualizing or thinking about someone) can also lead to arousal if you're really into them (I'm saying this is aside from touching yourself). I guess, the need to reduce things to orgasm or physical arousal overlooks the steps leading up to this in real life-- butterflies, funny tingles, dreamy looks, etc. This state is best entered just daydreaming about another person (if you like them). Then once you're sensitized to their image or the thought of them, it becomes very easy to get physically turned on. For me, normally it's actually pretty hard to objectify/get lustful about real people, or people I know or even crush on 'cause I haven't gone through the intense daydreamy infatuation stages where I moon over the thought of them, so the image is just too... I dunno, porn-like. Well, no one enters infatuated mooning on purpose, but I'm saying that it's not weird to have difficulties objectifying people you like. Or at least, if you had such difficulties, you're not alone.

We haven't met yet but we will be meeting in the relative future and something sexual might happen, and probably will.
Sex loses most of the fun when it's awkward or under pressure. You are totally allowed (and encouraged) to take things at your own pace, and it's ok to make out and end up not having sex, even if it might be expected. Take the time to get comfortable with each other, even if it puts you past the window of this visit and means going without sex for longer than you hoped.
If you are afraid it's a choice between either letting her down or of you not being ready, it isn't - there are lots of sexual options that are neither of those things, and lots of fun. Learn from her what she likes. Experiment. Play. Screw up. Giggle. Play.
But really, don't rush it. Your metric should not be "can I check off the "lost virginity" box yet?", it should be having fun. Have lots of fun, and if that eventually involves sex, cool. If not, cool. It's about the

This isn't really a relationship question. I was clued in to this fact when you mentioned you'd never met the girl. You can rest easy, assured that until you have met a person, you need not worry about things like kissing and intercourse with that person.
You're worried about kissing and intercourse, it sounds like, because you've never done it and you'd like your first experiences to be special ones. That's normal; it's also pretty normal for the first times to be awkward and anxious.
At some point when you meet this person, it might seem appropriate to kiss her. Here's how that goes down: Lean in, put your hand lightly on the back of her neck so you know where she is and to communicate your intentions; and then, if she doesn't pull away - if she wants to kiss, she'll lean in too - put your lips together and plant them gently, but firmly on hers. After that, follow her lead, and do what feels good. There are really no rules in kissing.
I made it very clear to the first woman I slept with that I was a virgin and nervous and needed some guidance, which she provided. I think that is a good way to go for you. But don't rush it. The point of kissing and sex is that they are supposed to be fun, relaxing and pleasant. If you get in the habit of waiting until you're pretty certain that's how it's going to go, you will spare yourself a lot of bad sex and end up having a lot of good sex.
Before you have sex, frankly discuss birth control and STDs. If either of you are unwilling to be tested for STDs, condoms should be used. If clothes are off during this discussion, you have waited too long to have it.

Lafayette, LA (Sports Network) - Tymell Murphy registered a double-double with 16 points and 16 rebounds to lead the FIU Panthers to an 80-75 victory over the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns in a Sun Belt Conference tilt at the Cajundome.
Jerome Frink led FIU (11-8, 6-4 Sun Belt) with 20 points, the most he has scored since dropping 22 points in the first game of his collegiate career. Marco Porcher Jimenez added 13 points off the bench.
Elfrid Payton and Alan-Michael Thompson each scored 22 points to lead Louisiana (7-15, 3-8), which has now lost three straight games. Shawn Long added a double-double with 21 points and 14 boards, while the rest of the Cajuns combined for just 10 points.
FIU held a 36-33 advantage after an evenly played first half in which each team shot between 43 and 44 percent from the floor.
Louisiana opened the second half on a 23-15 run and led by five midway through the period before FIU regained control. The Panthers broke a 72-72 tie late in the game with a Frink layup, and they followed that up with four straight free throws by Cameron Bell and Frink to ice it.
Each team finished with 38 rebounds, 14 assists and seven steals in the back- and-forth contest. The difference was made at the foul line, where FIU outscored Louisiana, 19-9.

The woman who played the receptionist on the British version of "The Office" is pulling the trigger on her 4-year marriage to "The Mentalist" hunk Owain Yeoman ... TMZ has learned.
Lucy Davis filed divorce papers in L.A. County Superior Court earlier this month ... citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
According to the docs, the couple separated back in January. They have no children together.
FYI -- Lucy's character was the basis for Pam Beesly on the American version of "The Office" ... which begs the question ...
Why would anyone care that an actress on British TV show is divorcing? And the real story here is, what are those gross bumps all over the side of her face near her eyebrow?
the british office was hilarious, the american office was funny until about 3 seasons ago. this season is just dreadful.
I don't memba them.
There's a british Office?
Whatever....It's not new that these celebs divorce.
To hell with "the office" ...she was the hottie blonde (Dianne) in "Shaun of the Dead"...that makes her a winner in my book : )
The British Office is far superior to copycat American rubbish. That's the trouble with America, so insular, you actually believe you rule the world.
Love the office but the British version was mediocre at best. The actress featured here was certainly nothing noteworthy.
In light of the number of women and children killed this month, by attorneys, Kids Killed can you cease with the phrase, "Pulling the trigger". Doesn't TMZ get what's really going on? Read the "Trending" section. Women need only think about divorcing to wind up dead.
the british always copy our good shows..oh well
How can anyone who claims to be a journalist use the phrase "BEG THE QUESTION" to mean "forces the question"??? You are using it WRONG. LOOK IT UP. Don't use parts of the language you don't understand. Yes, I am nerd raging about it. Stop, please, stop.
The British, Gervais/Merchant/BBC, version was first. I had to vote British out of nationality. When I heard about the US version of The Office I thought it'd either be a rubbish facsimile of the BBC version, or fall into all of the traps some other sitcoms do. I was totally wrong. The Office (US) was different enough to be distinct and more importantly has/had a great crew and scripts. They're two totally different shows with common origins (rather like the US and the UK). The tone and style of both is radically different. So while I voted British the correct answer is "they're both good, ****-off". Lol.
she's got a weird head.
The brits are mad we won the war.
Ricky Gervais' version is TV at its best. That entire cast was TOP NOTCH. It really felt like a real do***entary and not a scripted TV show.

We made this with spaghetti noodles and it was easy! Delicious family dinner material. I picked a bunch of arugula, a new choice for us, from our garden and wasn't sure what to do with it. This recipe was an easy one, used several cups of it up and was quite simple to make. We added a salad and some good bread from the local bakery and were quite full when all was done! I used a can of tomatoes that was almost twice as large as the recipe called for so the sauce was maybe more plentiful than intended but we enjoyed mopping some up from the plates with our bread!

June 14, 2013, 5:08 PM — Last week's disclosure of massive data collection efforts at the U.S. National Security Agency has generated heated debate in the U.S. and across the world about privacy. The NSA is collecting metadata on U.S. residents' phone calls made on Verizon's network and Internet records from nine Web companies, including Facebook, Google and Microsoft, according to reports in the Guardian and The Washington Post newspapers.
But intelligence agencies in other countries have similar goals, according to reports, and in some cases there are few details about what data these governments are collecting.
Leaks about the NSA program by former contractor Edward Snowden have led to questions in the U.K. about the data that intelligence agency Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) is collecting. Facing questions about GCHQ's access to Internet data collected through the NSA's Prism program, Prime Minister David Cameron defended U.K. intelligence services and said they comply with the law.
"Let us be clear," Cameron said in a Guardian article. "We cannot give a running commentary on the intelligence services. I am satisfied that the intelligence services, who do a fantastically important job to keep us safe, operate within the law and within a legal framework and they also operate within a proper framework of scrutiny by the intelligence and security committee."
Cameron provided few details but mentioned the role intelligence gathering plays in security efforts. "We do live in a dangerous world and live in a world of terror and terrorism," he said. "I do think it is right we have well-funded and well-organized intelligence services to keep us safe."
The Germans, too, have a secret program called Strategic Communications Intelligence (Strategische Fernmeldeaufklärung), supervised by the Federal Intelligence Service (BND), according to a government response to an inquiry about the program published in 2012.
The program is used to sift trough digital communication using search terms. However, details of the technical capabilities of the BND were not published because they are secret, the document said.
The aim of the program, similar to Prism, is to examine global telecommunications, and German domestic situations aren't covered, reported Germany's Computerwoche.

Travel with Kids: Cabo San Lucas
Momlogic's Julie: I recently had the chance to visit Cabo San Lucas and was pleasantly surprised by how kid-friendly it is!
I traveled to the Playa Grande Resort & Grand Spa, a perfect place to take children. My room had a full kitchen, which I always appreciate when traveling. I don't enjoy eating out every single meal with my kiddos, who can be on the fidgety side. So being able to cook a quick lunch or breakfast is a great perk for me. (For those who don't want to cook on vacation, there's an all-inclusive option, too. Calima Restaurant was especially delicious.)
The hotel is beachfront, but has a great family pool. Kids will also love the miniature golf course. And the kids' club was surprisingly affordable. It's a great place to put the kids for a few hours while you enjoy a little "me time" at the Thalassotherapy Spa. (My massage was awesome!)
I had been a little nervous about traveling to Mexico, but always felt safe there. Everyone at the resort made me feel at home, and I met several families who had been coming year after year.
The resort is very centrally located. It's just a five-minute walk to the marina, the town and the water taxis. I scored some great bargains in the town, including an adorable purse made of gum wrappers -- for only 12 bucks!
There are many wonderful excursions available. While there, I went snorkeling and kayaking through Cabo Expeditions. The water is so blue! All excursions can be booked directly through the concierge at Playa Grande Resort & Grand Spa. I didn't have the chance to visit Cabo Dolphins, but I heard that the "swim with the dolphins" experience is ideal for families with kids.
I can't wait to go back again!
Travelers can book the "Escape to Cabo" package at Playa Grande Resort from now through December 22, 2010. For a minimum three-night stay, guests will enjoy deluxe accommodations and access to a premium all-inclusive package, including breakfast, lunch and dinner at the resort's on-site restaurants as well as an assortment of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Additionally, guests are invited to take in the resort's live entertainment, theme nights, daily beach and pool activities as well as access to the on-site miniature golf course.

Emily Bronte
Emily Bronte (1818-1849), English author and one of the famed Bronte sisters wrote Wuthering Heights (1847);
Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living! You said I killed youhaunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believeI know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me alwaystake any formdrive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!
First published under Emilys pseudonym Ellis Bell, the combination of its structure and elements of passion, mystery and doomed love as well as social commentary have made Wuthering Heights an enduring masterpiece. Set in 18th Century England when social and economic values were changing and land ownership did not always the man make, it is a world of patriarchal values juxtaposed with the natural elements. Bronte explores themes of revenge, religion, class and prejudice while plumbing the depths of the metaphysical and human psyche. Brontes own home in the bleak Yorkshire moors provides the setting for the at-times other-worldly passions of the Byronic Heathcliff and Catherine. Also having written much poetry, Emily Brontes works did not receive wide acclaim until after her death at the age of thirty. Wuthering Heights is still in print today and has inspired numerous television and feature film adaptations. As with most of the Bronte sisters popular novels, people have tried to find biographical parallels in them. Emily has been characterised to mythic proportions as deeply spiritual, free-spirited and reclusive as well as intensely creative and passionate, an icon to tortured genius.
Emily Bronte was born on 30 July 1818 at 74 Market Street in Thornton, Bradford, Yorkshire, England. She was the fourth daughter of Maria Branwell (1783-1821), who died of cancer when Emily was just three years old, and Irish clergyman Patrick Bronte (1777-1861). After her youngest sister Anne (1820-1849) was born the Brontes moved to the village of Haworth where Patrick had been appointed rector. Emily had four older siblings; Maria (1814-1825), Elizabeth (1815-1825), Charlotte (1816-1855) and Patrick Branwell Branwell (1817-1848). Emilys Aunt [Elizabeth] Branwell (1776-1842) had moved in to the Parsonage after her sister Marias death to help nursemaids Nancy and Sarah Gars raise the six young children.
In 1824, Emily, with her four sisters entered the Clergy Daughters School at Cowan Bridge, near Kirkby Lonsdale. When Maria and Elizabeth died there a year later of tuberculosis, she and Charlotte returned home to Haworth. Their father was a quiet man and often spent his spare time alone, so, the motherless children entertained themselves reading the works of William Shakespeare, Virgil, John Milton, and the Bible and played the piano, did needlepoint, and told each other stories. The four often paired up; Charlotte and Branwell started writing of their imaginary world Angria, Emily and Anne writing of its rival, Gondal. Penning their kingdoms histories and developing characters to populate them, the young Bronte girls found a creative outlet in writing stories and poetry. Emily was becoming an independent and opinionated young woman as her poem The Old Stoic reveals;
And if I pray, the only prayer
In 1835 Emily enrolled at Miss Wooler's school at Roe Head, Mirfield where Charlotte was teaching, but she soon returned home when she became profoundly homesick and ill. After a few years as governess at Law Hill Hall in Halifax, West Yorkshire, Emily and her sisters Charlotte and Anne travelled to Brussels, Belgium in 1842. There at the Pensionnat Heger under teacher Constantin Heger they immersed themselves in the study of French, German and literature with the aim of starting their own school someday. When their Aunt Branwell died Emily alone returned to Haworth for her funeral and stayed on there, just her and her father. She helped around the home and continued writing and editing her poems. By 1845 her sisters had given up their dream of starting their own school and the three were together at Haworth again. It was Charlottes idea to publish the poems of Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell in 1846. The following year Wuthering Heights was published to mixed reviews, although it was soon lauded as an original and innovative tragic romance. Tragedy loomed large in Emilys life as well: her brother Branwell had become an alcoholic and addicted to opium and the family were constantly dealing with his depressions and at times mad ravings. He died in 1848 and while at his funeral Emily caught a cold and died soon after, on 19 December 1848. She now rests with her mother and father and sisters Charlotte, Maria, and Elizabeth and brother Branwell in the family vault at the Church of Saint Michael and All Angels in Haworth, West Yorkshire, England.

A few notes on Wuthering Heights
I just finished rereading Wuthering Heights. I first read the book about forty years ago. In my opinion, Wuthering Heights is an unique novel. No other novel approaches it in character, plot and theme. It is a great novel, no doubt about it. Emily Bronte was ahead of her time. Considering that she wrote Wuthering Heights in the late 1840s, it's amazing what she does with character. All of the main characters are anti-social and far from being admirable. It is a pessimistic novel. It stands head and shoulders above all the other novels written during that time. Wuthering Heights must be considered one of the great novels of all time.
Diagnosing Heathcliff & Cathy
I'm doing a speech on Wuthering Heights in a few weeks & I thought the topic of my speech would be the modern diagnosis of Heathcliff & Cathy. I'm a literature fan but also am an Abnormal Psychology Major, so of course, I come up with a topic like this. :ihih: I want to know what your guys' opinions on my diagnosis is. I believe that Cathy has Histrionic Personality Disorder. Here is the Diagnostic Criteria: Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive emotionality and attention-seeking, including an excessive need for approval and inappropriate seductiveness, usually beginning in early adulthood. These individuals are lively, dramatic, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. They may be inappropriately sexually provocative, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and be easily influenced by others. Associated features may include egocentrism, self-indulgence, continuous longing for appreciation, and persistent manipulative behavior to achieve their own needs. I believe that Heathcliff has Narcissistic Personality Disorder: Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder. The narcissist is described as being excessively preoccupied with issues of personal adequacy, power, prestige and vanity. Narcissistic personality disorder is closely linked to self-centeredness. Specifically, a Malignant Narcissist: Malignant narcissism has been described as "an extreme form of antisocial personality disorder that is manifest in a person who is pathologically grandiose, lacking in conscience and behavioral regulation, and with characteristic demonstrations of joyful cruelty and sadism". I'm quite intrigued by this topic I picked. What do you guys' think?
Sex in Wuthering Heights
I was told by a teacher that there were two different sex scenes or sex references in Wuthering Heights before chapter 21. This teacher has yet to tell our class what they are yet, I was wondering if anyone already knew what she might be talking about? I have yet to find them myself and I have searched multiple forums and articles online and none of them mention anything about two "sex scenes" before chapter 21.
the tune of WH
hi my doctor asked us to make a research about the tune of WH i need help please:rolleyes5:
Wuthering Heights and class conflict
I was thinking about this novel the other day, and thought that maybe the characters of Heathcliff and Cathy represent different sides of the economic spectrum. Heathcliff is a gypsy, at the very bottom of the social ladder, almost a pariah. He is an orphan/abandoned child, and gets a chance to raise his social status after being adopted by the Earnshaws. However, he becomes angry when the rich, represented by Cathy, remain just as aloof and indifferent to him after he becomes wealthy as before. Then, Cathy dies, thus symbolizing the destruction of the upper class, leaving Heathciff lost in grief. After Heathcliff's death the two are reconciled; implying that the only way the upper lower classes can be reconciled is through the destruction of both. Maybe this is obvious theme I am just now noticing, or perhaps it's something not regularly touched upon. What are your thoughts?

what did he mean? (heathcliff)
hey there, before heathcliff died he said he had to reach something (talked of struggling to reach a shore..metaphore thing) and that he was close to his aim... but what was this aim.. this chases me since I've finished the story. did he want to die to be united with cathy in death or did he want something else?? help me, take a look at the end of the story, remember the facts and tell me what you think .. thx:wave:
(hey girls)ain't heathcliff hot?
hey girls... this is no sublime topic and no intellectual discussion ..
