"Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" is on the horizon. It's a semi-sequel to Man of Steel, but also an introduction to the larger DC world. DC/WB are doing this to pull the same trick that Marvel/Disney have been doing: Creating a fanpool. See, any one film can either make bank or flop at the box office--and that's with or without critical acclaim. But, if you have a movie that is essentially a trailer for another movie with different characters, then the fans of the other property will pool in to see this movie.
Is that confusing? Things get lost in wording, so let me just be direct. Man of Steel was praised by some fans as the best Superman film ever. It was ridiculed by other fans. The biggest complaint seems to be the fact that the city was destroyed at the end of the film. I think that there are certain people who don't think before they form opinions and so they get mad or upset about things that are not worth being mad or upset about. I do it all of the time.
But Batman is a fan favorite. Everyone likes Batman or a Batman character. So instead of jumping ahead with Man of Steel 2, we pause, say to the fans "No, no, there's a whole world of other characters, check them out".
Do you remember when comic fans were lucky just to get any intellectual property in a film taken even slightly seriously? So grateful, that counting things accurate to the comic or references to the comics was loads of fun on it's own. Like finding Easter eggs. Even in bad movies, people enjoyed the nods and respect to comics. Don't get me wrong, comics have stepped outside their medium of inception since the beginning. But when Hollywood started making better looking movies, so, too, did the super hero comicbook films look that much better.
I think fans have, by in large, become ungrateful. That's not a new thought, people have always said that fans are of the clingy complaining variety. What is new is the loss of the eagle eyed fans that would point out the references and respect detail. The fanpool for DC isn't happy just to see these characters come to life, and to be fair to them, maybe it's because we've seen these films before? Maybe Marvel isn't facing that scrutiny because it's the first film where live action people are hanging out with a talking raccoon and it's supposed to be taken seriously.
Hmm....But it's not just that though, is it? Fans aren't even listening to the people in charge of making the thing they're complaining about. It can't just be me that notices the entirety of the internet seems to be expecting a Batman Versus. Superman movie. Ironic because Zack Snyder has said specifically that he chose a V so as not to be confused with versus.
And sure, they're hinting at a battle, with the teasers. I guess it can't be helped. It just makes sense to fuel positive fan hype. Especially with all that judgement and negativity looming about. People want to believe something, let them. Horribly out of context, but if they're hungry let them eat cake (of the figurative fan variety).
But while the masses seem to be expecting either this...
..Or this..
The reality is that audiences are more likely to get something like...
This movie faced a ton of hate, and slowly people are quieting down about it. Every new photo or release of information has me more and more excited. I thought there should be a word for this need to bash the unseen and hate or nitpick away at films where the studio, staff and crew are doing everything possible to make fans happy. And there is! It's the same word we use in our daily lives when someone makes something cool and tries to sell it, only for people to spit at it instead of just not buying it: Spiteful.
That's not to say there aren't legitimate concerns. There are legitimate concerns for any film; no film is perfect. But what's perfect for you? What is "Good enough?" It's a question that is going to be asked and asked and...guess what? Asked again. So what do you want in a DCU movie?
I have concerns for the marketing and issues that I want resolved in the film. So for me, there's a whole list of things that need to be cleared up. But I'll give you just a few..
I read comments for the release of Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman. People suggested more sultry actresses or models, among other absurd complaints, but the one consistent issue was people complaining about her colors. This is a Greek woman who came from an island hidden away from men. Why the hell would she be wearing bright red and blue with stars to symbolize the American flag?
Even if we were to go with the idea that she was so enthralled with Superman that she decided to wear his colors, that wouldn't explain white stars and an uncomfortable eagle brassiere. The way that Gal Gadot looks for this movie is perfect, because it looks like something a real warrior would wear.
My concern is that her origin has to make sense. The creator was a perv and added a ton of weird fetishes into her origin and powers. But in trying to stay true to the character, there's a lot of strange things that might not work so well in a film in even the New 52 version.
We can believe aliens exist. NASA recently said that we might discover alien life within the next 25 years. Christopher Nolan showed us that a Batman could realistically exist. There already are some "Batmen" out there. But will they go the route of Thor with gods being aliens? Will we really believe that the Greek gods are "the" gods in this universe? I think that might offend some movie goers.
But most importantly, I just don't want her to be following a man into man's world. It was always the biggest contradiction to me that she grew up as this strong warrior and then the first time she sees a boy she turns into a Disney Princess... I hope that he diplomatic role is what lends her to taking up arms to save THE WORLD and not just America.
I'm worried about promotion of this film because I don't want to know every single character that will appear and every single detail of the movie before the movie comes out. That's the point of watching. However, the way that news media covers these things now, they are actually giving away spoilers. This is legitimately one of my concerns because The Amazing Spider-Man 2 left very little to the imagination. And a lot of other movies give things away.
So far, they've been making teasers that don't necessarily show footage for the film. That's cool. And the great thing about this movie is that it has the possibility of being timeless. Batman and Superman have never appeared on screen together in live action. Once this is done, that footage is forever. I hope they don't ruin it by having that be the ONLY footage.
Batman is not super strong, nor do his martial arts moves have any impact on a being that can bench press a planet. His gadgets are meant for small time human thugs and street brawlers. He's one of the brightest minds on the planet, but he is NOT a scientist, doctor, hacker, chemist, engineer, etc. That's why he has "all of those crazy toys". It's the human side of Batman that makes him important in the Justice League and in the context of his BFF, Clark.
Clark loves Bruce like a brother because Bruce shows the human potential that Clark believes in. Batman validates everything that Clark believes in just by existing, even a brighter future where humans can stand up against evil on their own. And Bruce learns to love Clark because this alien that could kill anyone in a second believes so heavily in the human ideal, that it thinks it is one. It shows that humanity are beings that deserve to live in conjunction with the other beings of the universe. Superman doesn't think himself above us or want to leave us, he wants to sit down at the farm and each lunch with us. Superman validates Batman's work.
But, most importantly, Batman is batsh*t insane. He thinks outside of the box and will do whatever it takes to save the world and his friends. And that willingness to fly into hell to save lives is what makes him badass. Lend me just a few more minutes of your time and watch this:
That's Batman vs a nuke. Infinitely more touching, emotional and exhilarating than the end of The Dark Knight Rises. And he does it without the drama of making it seem like he died, or making it seem like he made a sacrifice, when he knows that he's not. No, the Batman just watched was seriously about to die to save Superman, Doomsday and a bunch of people on an island. And he did it without stopping to paint a ****ing bat on a bridge.
But those are just a few of my concerns and my thoughts on Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice...What are yours? Share in the comments section below!

Good Question: How Do I Cook With Curry Powder?
Here's a good question from reader Chris, who asks:
Dear Kitchn, Do you have any suggestions on cooking with curry? I bought three different kinds of curry powered from Penzey's. I'm really into the warm spice flavors and would like to incorporate them into some easy weeknight meals.
I tried this Curried-Squash and Red-Lentil Soup recipe yesterday. I was expecting layers of flavors: rich squash, earthy beans and curry warmth. Instead, the soup just had this one flat spice note. Not very appealing. Can you give me more advice on cooking with curry? Thanks for your help.
- Chris
P.S. Do you know how garam masala and curry powder are different?
Chris, we took a look at the recipe (also pictured above), and we have a few ideas on why it didn't turn out very interesting.
• When trying to develop Indian flavors and spice in your cooking, remember that most Indian cooking relies on a multi-layered process of building spice and flavor. A spice powder isn't the primary way that sauces and soup get their flavor. The flavor is usually built slowly by cooking whole spices with onions, and then sweating the onions with spices and oil (and sometimes ground spice powder too) until the flavor completely permeates the base sauce. Powdered spices are usually added nearer the end of cooking as a finishing kick of flavor -- not the main flavor base. Take a look at this post for some instructions on building a curry from scratch.
• Also, many curry powders use turmeric as the primary ingredient. Turmeric is a strongly colored spice, but not the most strongly flavorful. Check the ingredients to see if it comes first in the ingredient list.
• One way to get more out of cooking with curry is to make your own blend. This ensures that the spices are fresh and toasted to your satisfaction. You can see more about curry powder and its alternatives in this post, including ideas for making your own.
• And finally: sometimes recipes made with spices like these need some time to let the flavors develop. If the soup tasted flat and disappointing at first, try leaving it in the refrigerator overnight and trying it again the next day. Even some curries and dishes made with whole spices really benefit from a rest to let the flavors bloom and permeate the whole dish.
• And on your PS: garam masala and curry powder are simply two different spice blends. In authentic Indian cooking both of these have infinite variations, especially since they're usually made fresh by the cook. But in American spice shops you'll usually find curry powder that is dominated by turmeric, cumin, and ginger. It is invariably yellow. Garam masala is usually darker colored and has a warmer, sweeter mix of cinnamon, coriander, cumin, and peppers. You can try making it yourself with our recipe here.
OK readers -- your turn. What advice do you have for Chris?

For something super-simple, add curry powder to regular egg salad. Curried egg salad sandwiches are awesome.
i have a friend who swears by adding curry to his tuna salad
Dry-toasting your spices before using them also helps bring out more flavor.
I made boring Indian food too, until I bought "660 curries" cookbook. The author really explains spices and how even a single spice can taste different whether you leave it raw, toast it before grinding, after grinding, and other ways I don't remember right now :) I'll never use pre-made curry powder again. I guess that doesn't help you now though...
On second thought, I do use curry powder in a yogurt-based cabbage salad. You toast the powder for a few seconds and it makes a really nice sauce for the coleslaw.
Also, I think garam masala means "warm spice" and can be used as a seasoning on finished food, like salt.
Recipes that call for a number of spices instead of just curry powder usually turn out better in my experience.
If you want a really easy weeknight curry, here's my advice:
Patak's Curry Paste is REALLY good (I've tried the mild curry and the madras curry). There's a recipe on the back for a really simple curry (chicken, onion, diced tomatoes, water and the paste). To speed it up, I used already cooked chicken. It was fantastic, and dinner was ready in under a half an hour!
Use fresh spices, not the ones that have been in your cabinet since the Clinton Administration. Also, add some fenugreek to Indian styled recipes, especially rich curries. For some reason very few recipes call for it but it really elevates the overall flavor and aroma profiles.
Like with most cooking, using fresh whole ingredients is important to get the right flavors. I would try getting a good cookbook on the subject and hitting up an indian store for some fresh spices.
I would recommend a book called "5 spices, 50 dishes: simple Indian recipes using five common spices" by Ruta Kahate. It has some great simple and fast recipes and it wont break your bank buying a bunch of exotic spices you will only use for one dish. It only uses the same 5 spices but in different combinations and various preparations. The book has 11 curries listed in the index, I have tried a few with pleasing results.

here is a link to the book on amazon, looking at the rating and reviews seems I'm not alone in liking it a lot.
i agree with resting the soup for better flavor. also, that recipe calls for 2 quarts of water, subbing veg or chicken stock would be more flavorful.
i was always taught to add the curry powder to the onions/garlic & oil/butter mixture in the beginning of the recipe to intensify the flavor. same with curry paste.
my favorite recipe is pork chops with apples and onions sauteed with curry powder & a bit of cream to finish.
you can also dry rub pork (chops or loin) with curry powder. yum.
love egg salad, deviled eggs & chicken salad with curry powder.
and, like every other seasoning, curry is subjective. add until you like the way it tastes!
I probably don't make the most authentic curry, but I like it and I always get lots of compliments.
I've had good results with the Raj mild curry spice powder. Its premixed and store bought, but you can use a lot of it without it getting too hot, then you can adjust the heat with a spicier spice.
I also try to ensure I get enough sweetness to balance out the taste. Dried apricots, garlic and ginger is the only thing I add.
I sautee everything first; onions, meat, everything, to ensure they are sweet and have developed all their tastes.
Works for me

"The Fault in Our Stars…is completely fan-fiction for Dawson's Creek.
You cannot talk me out of this theory, YOU CAN NOT. I am one-hundred percent convinced that The Fault in Our Stars is just Dawson's Creek if both Pacey and Joey had cancer. The star-crossed romance! The girl who doesn't know she's beautiful and the guy who thinks he's way more of a bad-ass than he actually is! The dialogue that sounds like how teens really talk, just kidding, that sounds like how a room full of Ivy League-educated television writers talk!"

Georgia Tech's Sean Bedford was named today the winner of the inaugural 2010 Burlsworth Trophy, given to the nation's best player who was formerly a walk-on.
Bedford, a native of Gainesville, Fla., is a two-time All-ACC player at center. This season he has helped the Yellow Jackets lead the nation in rushing.
"I am extremely honored to be the inaugural recipient of the Burlsworth Trophy, Bedford said in a statement. "I have a tremendous amount of respect for what Mr. Burlsworth accomplished and it is humbling to be mentioned in the same caliber with him. I would like to thank the Burlsworth family, my coaches, teammates and friends for helping me earn this award."
The award is named in honor of Brandon Burlsworth, former University of Arkansas walk-on and All-American offensive lineman. He was selected in the third round of the 1999 NFL draft by Indianapolis, but was killed in a car accident 11 days later. The Burlsworth Foundation was created in his memory and supports the physical and spiritual needs of children, in particular those children that have limited opportunities.

Sanford Drive-typical trailer red neck talk. This story is not about a stupid ball game, it's about an individual overcoming obstacles to become a very good football player. Get back in your pick up truck, spit your tobacco, and yell whoof, whoof.

Congrats Sean on the award it will look great next to your Aerospace Engineering Degree.
December 15th, 2010

wow, I am sure this has to be some kind of mistake according to Mark Bradley, I am sure the Ky qb should have been given such a honor NOT…
congrats Sean,

Congrats Sean! I have no idea how you balanced it all, but kudos to you for your hard work.

So the previous post on Hewitt getting elected to the board of trustees at his alma mater gets shut down huh? Nice! Must have been all of the vile comments coming from Tech fans on him.
I can't for the life of me see why he would be elected to a board of anything. He has probably donated more to charity than I ever will, but the simple fact is he's not a very good basketball coach in the ACC and should resign, or be fired.
December 15th, 2010
5:44 pm
Congrats Sean. You have been a positive influence on and off the field and you will be a great ambassador for Georgia Tech in the future.
Sanford Drive… You are just pathetic. And an embarrassment to your fanbase. I guess you have nothing to do until you get that check from the government. Enjoy trolling. You are making a great name for yourself
December 15th, 2010

Congrats Sean! Good luck in your future endeavors. I'm sure you will be very successful in anything you do.
Go Jackets!!

On a side note, Sporting News had named Bedford to their list of the 20 Smartest Athletes in Sports. There are some impressive names on that list. I thought about insulting Georgia here, but I won't. Fans like sanford drive are enough of an embarrassment. No need to rub it in.

LOL @ the Hewitt Blog shut down for comments… We all wished he would take his azz up to ST. Johns, and let Tech progress for once.
December 15th, 2010

Congrats to Bedford. How he balanced a major in aerospace engineering with a starting position on a major college football team is beyond me.
Maybe he needs to write a book on time management.

Sanford Drive – You show what a low-lfe you are by your comments here when a GT player who is and outstanding person is being honored. Low-Class – I hope some classy bulldog fans will call you out on this. You really need your a–s kicked.

I love this guy's story. Georgia Tech's own Rudy – except that Bedford would've steamrolled Rudy all day long! Sean, I hope you make it into a great lawschool (try Vandy for IP Law – you won't be the only GT BSAE grad in the program!) and continue to contribute to the Georgia Tech community. We students are inspired by your grit and work ethic, sir. Keep climbing and GO JACKETS!

Once again, Techies can spread whatever lies and hate they want about UGA players (there all thugs, can't read, etc.), but somebody posts a freaking final score and these sissies go running straight to mommy. My God you clowns are the biggest effing joke on the planet.
Congrats to Sean Bedford. Its ashame you had to play for the most worthless fans in all of sports.
December 16th, 2010

""We may not make a university student out of him, but if we can teach him to read and write, maybe he can work at the post office rather than as a garbageman when he gets through with his athletic career."

Budman, I don't think anyone wonders that. 1 win in 10 years clown. We're your worst nightmare. I'd think you were even dumber that you already are if you DID cheer for us.
"Its just a game dawg…" Well rounded student-athlete Reggie Ball's comments after yet another UGA beatdown.
"The University of Georgia Tech". Well rounded student-athlete Stephon Marbury after his one and only season at the Joke by Coke.
Could you morons be any more full of crap?
December 16th, 2010
10:28 am
To save the HOPE scholarship, maybe UGA should be closed, the real estate sold to the highest bidder. All funds spent on that cess pool re-directed to the real schools and student athletes in this state (like Bedford.
We'd save the HOPE and eliminate an embarrassment to the entire state.
What do you say Sanford Drive=dawgfan?
December 16th, 2010
10:37 am
There's no such thing as "The University of Georgia Tech."
December 16th, 2010
11:25 am
the real Old Gold, you would think that the well rounded student athletes that Tech produces would know that wouldn't you?
Big Ol Stinger, I'd say you are on crack cocaine. UGA is one of the oldest public universities in the nation. It isn't going anywhere anytime soon. The only people who hold such strong negative feelings for it are bitter Techies that are jealous of its status as THE flagship university of the state of Georgia. And I'm sure the fact that we own you like a rented mule in football contributes to your bitterness as well. Mark Richt could fart in public and it would make the AJC headlines. We get all the attention. We get all the "sidewalk fans." We get all the money. We have more local alums. We have more fun than you do. We have a bigger stadium. We play on TV more than your team does. We have more players in the NFL than you do. Our coach makes a lot more money than your coach does. We are better looking than you. Our campus is so beautiful that its been in movies. You find dead bodies on your campus. We're just better than you Techie. Jealousy kills.
December 16th, 2010
12:08 pm
Great to read about a quality player who is also a quality person and student. And a rocket scientist to boot…haha…or at least an AE. After a 6-6 year it's so much better to get good news like this than having to review countless rap sheets and checking the police blotters like they do in Athens.
December 16th, 2010
12:27 pm
That is great news! So happy for Sean! He deserved it! He was the perfect student-athlete! Good luck in the rest of your life!
December 16th, 2010
12:42 pm
What was dawgfan saying about dead bodies?
December 16th, 2010
1:25 pm
dawgfan, please take EVERYTHING you said in your 11:25 post and answer one question…"WHY is it that ALL these things add up to ONLY half of the national championships Tech has in football?".
December 16th, 2010
1:28 pm
One other thing; in regards to your statement that we have to 'make up lies' about pup players….ALL we have to do is READ about it in the papers. EVEN pup fans understand this!
December 16th, 2010
2:23 pm
Macrotech, are there any plans to invite members of the 1917, 1928, and 1952 national championship teams back to campus for a commemorative halftime ceremony? I must admit that those were some magical years for the Yellow Jackets. That 1917 team in particular could play with anybody. I'll never forget that long ride home in the Model T after they laid it to us that year.
Yes, that is exactly how dumb you sound bragging about decades old, in one case CENTURY OLD, national titles. Not a single one of them was concensus either. Talk about desperate. My God.
And yes, Techies are dirty filthy liars. There are over 100 members of the UGA football team. There were only 11 arrests. Of those 11 arrests, any major offenders are no longer part of the team. Yet you liars paint the whole entire team with the same wide brush. You know its a lie and you do it anyway. How do you know a Techie is lying? Their lips are moving.
December 16th, 2010
2:43 pm
dawgfan, how long before 1980 becomes ancient history? As far as consensus, there is no such thing. Every year, including 1980, there are numerous institutions that bestow a national championship. According to my research, in 1980, UGA, Pittsburgh, Nebraska, Oklahoma and FSU all received at least one national championship honor. Is that what you mean by consensus? 30 years of frustration is beginning to show.
December 16th, 2010
2:51 pm
what does 2010 have in common with 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991,1992,1993,1994,1995,1996,1997,1998,1999,2000,2001,2002,2003,2004,2005,2006,2007,2008 and 2009? I'm glad it hurts so much.
December 16th, 2010
3:20 pm
I must have missed the part where I came on here bragging about 1980. In fact, I don't think I've said a single solitary word about 1980. But since you brought it up, UGA is 23-8 vs. your joke half azzed football program since 1980. But at least you've got those 1928 and 1917 championships to hang your hats on. LMAO.
December 16th, 2010
3:34 pm
We realize you have nothing else to do since the ice had your grade school closed today, but please find something more productive to do with your time. Read a book. Take a nap. Play in traffic. Do anything but pretend like you're actually associated with a college. Words like "azzed" and "LMAO" clearly show you are nowhere near college age.
December 16th, 2010
4:11 pm
dawgfan, I like the way you avoided the question…did the pups not have teams back then?
December 16th, 2010
4:15 pm
"Techies" lied?! What "Techies" lied about pup players? ALL of those players were reported by EVERY paper in Georgia…when did we get a School of Journalism?! The problem with you, is that you can't handle the truth! Go dawgs! INDEED, go dawgs!
December 16th, 2010

Grats Sean Bedford, that's awesome and you rock dude!
December 16th, 2010

What will Auburn soon have in common with Alabama, Florida, LSU, and Tennessee? Hint, UGA won't have one for quite some time. I'm so glad it still hurts. FYI, mutts, d'eux is French for 2.

We'un from the "if we can teach them to read and write" university are proud of our graduates also. We got some that can drive the garbage truck instead of loading it. Hey, did I tell you I have learned a new word. Catch my next show I will be using it a lot. It's got 3 of them symbols or silly bols or whatever the hell you call them.
December 18th, 2010
8:24 pm
Congratualtions to Sean Bedford for winning the Burlsworth Trophy. Few and far between are young men with the intelligence and physical abilities this young man displays and my answer of him being voted as one of the 20 smartest athletes is WOW. I wish him luck in the future. I am a UGA grad and I agree with Outside Observer – Sanford Drive and Dawgfan are both embarrassments to real UGA fans.
December 20th, 2010
9:42 am
hey Sanford Drive…we know the score….we know we beat us, UGA didn't. You are a single minded moron and I know not typical of UGA grads or fans as I have many of them as friends///Grow upand they think you are just a tad dumber than uga the dawg…but you probably look a little prettier…at least we hope you do. Grow up and get back to work delivering those pizza's

Business Ideas in the News / May 4, 2014
One of the first rules of entrepreneurship is identify a profitable niche and gain expertise in that space. Ron Clarke follows that rule to a tee.
As chairman and chief executive of FleetCor Technologies (FLT), Clarke attributes the Norcross, Ga.-based firm's growth to one word: focus. In 2011, its first year as a public company, FleetCor's revenue grew approximately 20% and adjusted net income grew over 30% on a pro forma basis.
"We do one thing and we do it well," Clarke said. The company provides fuel cards to businesses, which in turn give the gas cards to their on-the-go employees. The businesses — in North America, Latin America and Europe — use the cards to control employee spending on fuel.

Panasonic and French "brick-and-click" retailer colette have partnered to create a special edition Lumix GM1. The brand's popular Micro Four Thirds camera comes equipped with a 16-megapixel sensor, 3-inch tilting LCD and 1/16,000 shutter speed. This particular model has been wrapped in alligator-print leather that's finished in colette's signature blue and also includes matching lens cap and metal buttons. The colette x Panasonic Lumix GM1 comes with a 12-32mm lens and will be available exclusively at colette beginning at the end of February. Pricing has yet to be announced, but with only 50 available we don't think it'll be cheap.

Because tomorrow is my final, as well as my final day here, I wanted to write a bit about the end of my journey. Its been a wild ride, starting with my first solo TransAtlantic plane ride, and ending with new friends, tons of amazing memories, and a whole lot more knowledge of the world beyond my porch. I am certainly a different person, whether or not this turns out to be a change for the better. When a person decides to study abroad, they tend to try and find a school which isn't difficult so they can go off and do tons of things. I didn't. My classes were challenging and made me think differently about the way I study. So I got the fun of the experience, as well as the shock to my academic system, so to speak.
Overall, I started here with this cynical view, because I was cold and the food was different and I felt that I didn't belong. Thursday morning I'm leaving here with the knowledge that no matter where you go, you can adapt and become a part of that culture, as long as you have an open mind and heart.
I'm going to miss my favorite restaurants. I'm going to miss all of the friends I met here. I'm going to miss being a 10 minute walk from the beach. And I'm going to miss all of the accents. So many accents.
I'm off to pack and study for my last final tomorrow. "Parting is such sweet sorrow", because as much as I'm going to miss it here, I can't wait to go home as well.
Cheers, Hallie
I feel like there is such stigma when you come to another country. Mostly about the people. Before you go, you're told horror stories about Americans who unwittingly got swindled by some local and didn't have money to get back to their hotel, hostel, dorm, etc. And by others you're old that everyone is incredibly friendly and sweet and you're going to be loved for being an American. This overgeneralization continues when you actually make it over to the country you're going to be visiting. The other Americans you meet tell you about their very first experiences with the natives, whether they are super nice or they just about got into a first fight in a local pub. You also get the flip side of the coin as you being chatting up the students from the country you're staying and instantly pass judgement on their status as a person of worth. You also get their opinion of other local students as well as the Americans studying abroad. You're told, "that group over there? They will rip out your heart if you so much as look at them. But us, we accept you silly Americans."
So where does the opinion of others and that of your own separate? Can you separate them? As I began pondering this I realized that any opinion or thought that forms in your head will always have some influence from another person stamped on it. Because no matter if you agree with that person or think they're completely bonkers, you have to analyze their thought first. I guess the hardest part is actually realizing this when you come to a decision on a person. No one can be completely neutral. There is always some factor which has led them to this point and I think people should remember that before ostracizing someone for what they think. Yes, I might not agree with all of the rules/norms that the university and the culture here abides by, but that's only because I grew up with a different set. Had I started here as a fresher, the rules would have been the only thing I had experienced and thus wouldn't have had nearly the negative reaction I experienced upon learning them.
I suppose what I'm saying is that living in another country gives you perspective. Not only by seing new things, but also by reevaluating your thoughts through the culture of another. I'm not saying that I'm embarrassed of my nationality nor am I saying that America always does the right thing. What I'm really saying (I think?) is that each culture has its own sigma which it created about itself and about others and because of that, we need to be cognizant when we form opinions.
Wow, heavy stuff right? Who'd have thought I'd leave my study abroad experience with self-awareness? Certainly not me.
On a lighter note, today is my last Friday here in Scotland and I am enjoying the bitter cold and rain you can only find here, indoors with my textbooks.
Cheers, Hallie
My first final is done and now I have a little time to relax before my next (and last!) one. I do have to say, they do finals a lot differently here in the UK. I was placed with my class and 2 others into the basketball court to take the first one. Also, all grading is anonymous. Finally, you cannot leave in the last 30 minutes of the exam. You can either leave before the final 30 minutes or you have to wait until the clock has run out and everyone exits. I found this out at the last 28 minute mark. Woops.
Oh well. I decided a run on the beautiful West Sands beach would make me feel better, and it did. I consistently wish I had my camera whenever I'm out, but since I was running I'll give myself some slack. It was sunny with that ever-present wind, and actually a decent temperature. All the makings of a great run and I came back with the exams tension out of my shoulders and that lovely soreness of physical activity.
With only one final left and 7.5 days, its coming to a close. I think we all sense it; there's been a lot more of hanging out "just because". I'm really going to miss this place. The people, the beach, the really old buildings, and the strange sense of calm that hits you as you cross the Scottish border. I recommend a trip.
That's all for now, relaxing and getting ready for a busy week ahead.
Cheers, Hallie
As everyone is well aware (or at least, NOW is well aware), today is Mother's Day. Although holidays are so much fun and brings joy to those giving and receiving love, they can sometimes be sad. Today was the first Mother's Day that I was not home for and it hit home for me. I'm starting to realize that this is what my life is going to be like once I leave the nest for real. I'm not going to be home to make my mom her annual breakfast-in-bed. As a study abroad student, you start swapping some of the memories you would make at home for the memories you make abroad. Next week is my brother's last day of high school and his senior prom and I'm going to miss them. I really wish I could be there for those moments but then I remember that if had been at home, I never would have eaten a baguette on the lawn of the Eiffel Tower or stood on the top of the Oslo Opera House.
Being a study abroad student has truly opened my eyes to the reality of growing up and living apart from your family. You stop doing some of the traditional things you always did as a kid and start making your own experiences and traditions. The hope is that one day you can teach your own children the traditions you had when you were their age and share that joy with them.
I will always love my family. I'm just starting to come to the realization that they won't always be physically there with me, but I know they will always be with me in spirit.
Happy Mother's Day Mom!
Family- 2009
Cheers, Hallie
Last night was the Valedictory Meal at my dorm, which in case you didn't read my last post was for all of us who are leaving the dorm in the next couple of weeks. It started with a wine reception and then we were taken to the dining hall where we got a special table that was decorated. It was so nice! For dinner, I had fruit salad as a starter, then cannelloni and cheesecake as a dessert. We were served first and actually got waited on by the dining staff. It was a really sweet gesture and I felt like I truly was a part of the hall community. After dinner, there was an after party, where we talked for hours. I met so many new people that I hadn't come in contact with before. It was a bit of a downer, if only because I was just getting to know these people and now we are all getting ready to leave.
I'm never going to forget the new friends I made and the experiences I had while in Scotland. I can already feel how far I have come as a person and am now excited for the growing I still have to go.
Cheers, Hallie
My life has been strange and fun-filled the past few days. Sunday, we were supposed to go to a beach party but it got rained out. Instead, we stayed in and hung out. Monday marked the beginning of Revision Week. I still can't believe that students get a whole week to study for finals. In the States, you're lucky to get one day. The first day was spent studying, goofing off, and enjoying time with friends. Tuesday was a busy day. I woke up early for the first time in a while and got all of my studying done before lunch. There was a going-away reception for all of us Study Abroad kids. We got gifts (including a maroon St Andrews shirt, which happens to be one of the colors of Salisbury U, so I was quite excited!) and met up with some of us that we hadn't seen in a while. My main group pf friends left early in search of caffeine. I had my first iced Chai latte, which can only be described as heaven. Or like a Chai milkshake. One of the two.
Last night was probably the biggest event of the last few days. After much pleading and wheedling, Kira convinced me to come play Manhunt with a bunch of other people when it finally got dark. It was a tough decision because I enjoy my sleep and it doesn't get dark until 11 PM here. I adopted the "sleep when you're dead" philosophy and donned my ninja gear. Playing felt like childhood, remembering all the times you held your breath because the "seeker" was right next to you. I also met a lot of new people; it surprising how easy it is to form bonds with total strangers when you have a collective goal. After getting muddy, winded, and scraped up, we walked to the beach and looked at the stars. A couple of us are astrophysics majors and were pointing out the constellations to those of us not as scientifically-inclined. Comprehensively one of the best nights I've had in St Andrews. With only 15 days left, I'm starting to realize how much I enjoy being here and the extent to which I will miss it when I'm gone. Sobering thought.
On a lighter note, we were informed that Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth are filming in St Andrews this week for an upcoming movie. Obviously, a group of us took it upon ourselves today to go looking for them. Although the trip came to no avail, it was a lot of fun speculating where they could be. Tonight there is a dinner for all of us, Leavers (what Americans call graduating Seniors) and those of us only here for a short time. I'm really excited to celebrate, but once again sad that this chapter of my life is coming to a close.
Sorry for all the introspective babble!
Cheers, Hallie
Last night was the Melville Ball, an annual event for my dorm. It was free for all us of residents, and included refreshments, ice cream, and tons of delicious cupcakes. We danced the night away, first with a traditional Scottish band. From there, a local band came on and played jazz tunes and some Journey. Finally, a DJ came on and we had fun dancing to popular music and a cool light show, smoke machine included. It was it great to let loose after classes and see everyone dressed up, especially the guys in their kilts. We finally left around 1 AM, exhausted but happy from the experience.
It felt like cross between prom and a fancy adult event. So I guess it prepared me for the Black Tie parties to come! Love dressing up!
Anyway, pictures are up after this.
Cheers, Hallie
Title says it all. I only have less than 21 days left in Scotland. Time has flown!!! I really can't believe that soon I'll be on a plane back to Maryland, USA. Now I just have to survive two finals (50% of my grade for each class!) and pack. Plus all of the last minute travelling I have planned. This weekend is going to be super busy as well. Friday (tomorrow) is the last day of classes, resulting in celebratory soft serve ice cream with friends. Saturday is the Andrew Melville Hall Ball, so we're getting all fancied up, eating free desserts, and dancing! It will be in the Old Course Hotel, which is the beautiful hotel right on the golf course. Pictures will be up. Sunday is Waltzing on West Sands, a beach party with bonfires and local music entertainment. There will be no running into the water for me this time though. Once was enough.
Busy Busy Busy!
Cheers, Hallie
Last night/this morning, my group of friends, myself, and a majority of the St Andrews student population took the plunge into the North Sea at dawn. It was probably one of the most memorable things I will ever experience. We spent the time before 3 AM hanging out in our friend Mike's room, then began the trek to the other side of town. Large groups had already gotten there before us and several fires had been built on the beach. Everyone was milling around or huddling to stay warm.
*Side note: IT WAS SO COLD.
The wind was blowing off the water while we were sitting there, waiting for the sun to rise. Then, when we decided it was light enough out, we raced towards the water in our undergarments and then waded into the North Sea. Some people chose to completely submerge themselves. I could barely put my pinky toe in, so only the bottom half of me got wet. Afterwards, we hightailed it back to the dunes where our clothes and towels were. Looking back, there was so much of a time build up for that very short moment of actually going into the water. But it was worth it.
Post-robing, we walked back to our dorms to clean ourselves up and get some shut-eye. Many of us, including myself, had classes today. You only live once though.
Pictures to come!
Cheers, Hallie
Since its April 30 my time, I'm starting to think about tomorrow, AKA May 1. This day has a lot of significance for me. It begins my last 24 days in Scotland. It also is the anniversary of the May Dip. The May Dip is a tradition where any St Andrews students whom have committed an academic sin must take the plunge into the North Sea and "wash away" the academic sin. I don't think I've done any sort of educational no-no, but to experience the true St Andrews student life, I feel it's necessary to participate. Disclaimer: I MAY chicken out. We'll see. The North Sea is quite cold. I am trying to mentally prepare myself in advance. It's a one-in-a-lifetime experience, it won't be that cold, etc.
In any case, I'm reaching the end of my time here. It feels very strange. I remember first arriving here and feeling cold and scared. Now I'm still cold, but comfortable with the life I've made myself here. Friends. Traditions. Familiar sights. I'm not quite sure I'm ready to leave all of that yet.
Obviously, I need to come back. Again. And again.
Cheers, Hallie
Well, this is my second-to-last week of classes and things are really starting to slow down, but yet speed up. I only have 28 days left here in the UK. Its really a strange concept to be in the 20s. Nothing big has happened this week really, but I'm looking forward to this weekend. My hall is co-hosting a ceilidhthis Saturday. For those of you who don't remember, its a traditional Scottish dance, a lot like our Western line-dancing. Lots of fun. We also have something big planned for Sunday but you'll have to wait until I can reveal it.
Adding some pics from my walk on Monday.
Cheers, Hallie
Yesterday was warm and sunny, so my friend Kira and I attempted what is called Lady Brae's Walk. Its a loop that totals around 7 miles of path that follows a stream. Neither of us had been before and had no idea what to expect. Several terrains later (including what looked like a jungle, marsh, and bluffs), and we ended up at a park which must have been very cool in its heyday. There was a mini traintrack, a playground in the middle of a pond and lots of fields. It was decided there and then that we would be back on another nice day for a picnic. By the end of the hike, we were muddy and burnt out, but also that feeling on contentment that only comes from conquering a hard task.
Pictures to come!
Cheers, Hallie
The last few days have been a lot of fun and therefore, quite exhausting. It started with Wednesday, when I finished my final paper. To celebrate, a few of my friends and I took a special bus to this dance club called Fat Sam's. We got back to St Andrews around 4 AM, tired but exhilarated from dancing up a storm. The next night, my friends invited me to the neighboring dorm's ball. It entailed a wine reception in the Old Course Hotel (which is GORGEOUS, very posh) and then continued at the St Andrews Aquarium. We all got dressed up and hit the ball. It was neat to see all the guys in either tuxes or kilts and the girls in very pretty dresses. The aquarium is small but quaint. We still had a good time with the fishies. On the way back to the dorm, I saw a Great Blue herron just walking through the same park. I swear I wasn't hallucinating. *Side note: the bunnies have multiplied again and there are tons of new babies all over. Its adorable.
Yesterday was not quite so busy, mostly consisting of walking around town and turning in my final paper. I did stop inside a local bakery and got the cutest little cake, which looks like a frog. I'll put a picture up.
Today was a lot of fun, mostly because Autumn and I went and saw The Hunger Games at the movie theater! I had read the book and wanted to see how closely the movie matched up (it was pretty dang close). We took the bus into Dundee, the nearest big city. We had never navigated its public transport and were incredibly surprised how easy it was to get there, mostly through dumb luck. The movie theater was massive and modern looking, which was not what I was expecting. After seeing the movie, we took the bus back into the city center and walked around as the bus back to St Andrews wasn't due for a while. Two chocolate milkshakes from McDonalds (don't judge, its sometimes nice to get a taste of something from back home) and we were on our way back to school.
Overall, a long and exciting few days. Hope to have many more of them in the future.
Cheers, Hallie
For those who might be wondering what I've been doing since I got back to St Andrews over a week ago, I must tell you, its incredibly glamourous. And by that I mean, tedious and painful. Last Thursday I had a 15 page paper due for one of my history classes, so I spent the first week back confined to my room with my laptop and books. I then gave myself the weekend off to relax, and have now started my next and final paper for the semester. This one has begun a bit slow, as I was unsure how to start it. A massive pile of reference books later, I am now chugging away (hurray!). This will be due on Friday after which, my life will become a lot more simple.
This weekend, myself and some friends will be venturing to the nearby town called Dundee to see The Hunger Games, finally. We are all very excited, not only to get out of town, but to see what everyone has been talking about.
Finally, I am attaching some pictures from yesterday, as it was gorgeous and thus required a small adventure.
Cheers, Hallie
We reached our beautiful country club hotel in Edinburgh in the morning on Saturday and attempted to decide what we were going to do during the day. We resolved to visit the Royal Mile, see the castle, get a coffee at the Elephant House (more on that in a minute), and do a ghost tour. With some help from the accommodating front desk, we arranged a nighttime tour of Mary King's Close, an old alleyway that remains underneath the ground of the Royal Mile, which we were all excited for.
The fam took the bus into the city and proceeded to try and scrounge up lunch. We settled on TGI Fridays (don't judge!). After lunch, we walked up this steep path to the castle, which is at the very top of the Royal Mile, a stretch of road from the castle all the way to the water. Its famous for its shops and restaurants and generally cool history that remains. The entire city of Edinburgh is like that, as most of the buildings are from the 1800s or earlier, renovated or restored to fit new shops/restaurants, but with the same architecture. We walked down the Royal Mile, went into a few shops, then went in search of the Elephant House. For those who don't know, this is where J.K. Rowling wrote half of the first Harry Potter book. Its a very neat building with amazing cappuccinos and lattes. We had a bumpy start getting there though, as we were given directions to Elephant and Bagel, its sister establishment. But eventually we got there.
The rest of the day was spent walking along the Royal Mile and the streets that veer off from it. Dinner was spent at a very good Italian restaurant and then we made our way to Mary King's Close. From the entrance of the close (the Scottish word for a street that only has one end, where people live. Almost like a cul-de-sac) you would never guess that it was a major tourist attraction, but as you continue on, it opens up to a welcome center with a few unmarked doors which raise a lot of questions. I don't think anyone knew what to expect with the tour, making it all the more fun to be led by an actor in traditional garb down a dark passageway as he told real stories about the occupants in the close, from murder to plague tragedies. All-in-all, a very academically structured ghost tour with a really great tour guide. So much fun.
After the tour, we tried to go back to the hotel, but had some public transit issues. Eventually we made it back, safe and sound, to our super comfy beds. The next morning was Easter and my mom's birthday so we had a little celebration in the room. Then we just spent time together until it was time for me to take the bus back to St Andrews. My dad drove me over to the bus station. It was hard to say goodbye to all of them again, I think even a little more than the first time.
It was a great week and I enjoyed getting to show my family around the UK and exploring new things and places with them as well.
Pictures next!
Cheers Hallie
So to recap, we had just seen Stonehenge and then proceeded to drive to the outskirts of London. (It should be noted that only 2 of our hotels were planned in advance and so it got a little tricky to find lodging some nights with the holiday). The hotel we finally found was within walking distance of the train station to take us into the heart of London. So the next day we hopped the train and found ourselves in Trafalgar's Square. Max wanted to see the National Gallery, which is situated on one of the four sides of the Square (amazing, geometry..). We enjoyed a ton of beautiful paintings, including some by Van Gogh and Vermeer. From there, we got lunch and sat in Green Park by Buckingham Palace. Max followed a duck. Then we took the Tube to St Paul's Cathedral, which also happens to be near the Globe, which everyone knows from my older London post, right? :)
In any case, I finally got to go inside the Globe (!). We got a guided tour, complete with the history of the building and the chance to stare at our guide's terrible British teeth. The inside of the Globe is beautiful, reconstructed to look just like the original. The original burned to the ground in 1613 during a performance, but the one we toured was created to the almost exact specifications of the original, so you got the feel of what it was like to see a play there in the 17th century. After the Globe, we headed to Picadilly Circus (which is aptly named, as there are a million people there milling about, shopping, etc.), and Selfridges, a massive store much like Harrod's but with an entire floor for fresh food and groceries. It was neat to look around in and a little overwhelming with all of their stock options. We headed back to the hotel after Selfridges, stopping to grab a grocery picnic dinner at Sainbury's, a local supermarket, emphasis on the super.
The next day, we drove out of London and made time to the castle Alnwick, where part of the first Harry Potter movie was filmed. The castle and its estates are massive, which allows for the family that is incredibly lucky to live there to set up several tourist events and attractions, like a fake dungeon and a military museum. We also toured the family's private quarters, each room more elaborate and beautiful than the next. After Alnwick, we drove to our hotel, about 8 miles from the Roslyn Chapel, where they filmed the final scene of the Da vinci Code (noticing a theme yet?). We walked around the cute town and got dinner in a local pub with some small-town characters.
The next day we started off by driving to Roslyn Chapel. At first, we just wanted to see the outside and look in the Welcome Center, as payment is required to gain access into the chapel itself. At some point, I couldn't find my dad, so I wandered into the chapel to see if he had tried to sneak in. Turns out he wasn't there but I successfully managed to make my way in and so I didn't waste the opportunity. The chapel is small yet incredibly ornate, built over centuries. Maybe I was nervous about breaking the rules, but to me it had a very eerie vibe. The rest of the family found me and we all got to experience the chapel sans ticket. Honestly, they really shouldn't be requiring for payment on entry as a church. But that's neither here nor there.
After the Chapel, we made our way to Edinburgh, our final destination.
Its going to get its own post, as there is a lot to say about it.
Cheers, Hallie
So back to the Krolls in the UK. After Inverness and Nessie, we travelled down to the Cotswolds in England. The Cotswolds are a grouping of little towns that have maintained all of their old architecture and small-town feel. Lots of thatched roofs and white-washed sided houses. The names were the cutest part, including Stowe-on-the-Wold, Stratford-upon-Avon (Shakespeare's birthplace/final resting place), Warwick, Gloucester, and Malmesbury. We stopped several times to look around and went into the chapel where Shakespeare is buried. From the Cotswolds, we headed to Stonehenge in Wiltshire.
Stonehenge is possibly one of the coolest things I've ever seen. They had a whole audio tour and I learned that there is still so much that scientists don't know about the structure, like how they transported all the rocks and got them to stand. A lot of people take the stones very seriously, including the Wicca people who stood and said a bunch of spell-things with capes and staffs. Weird.
From Stonehenge, we made our way to the hotel near London.
More on that later!
Cheers, Hallie
So a little recap-
When we were in Vienna, we spent the first nice day around the estates of Schönbrunn, which has a palace, massive gardens, a zoo, and two indoor gardens. We got lunch at a stand, where each of us partook in a Leberkäse sandwich (for those who aren't Austrian, this is a hot meat that tastes like bologna but better). I also got the German soda, Almdudler. Then we headed back to Tante (Aunt) Annemarie's to freshen up for dinner at my cousin Gabi's house.
The next day as spent trying to find our way around Vienna in the cold rain, so there was a lot of ducking into cafes. We also went to the famous Figlmueller for schnitzel (fried breaded turkey cutlets). Divine. Then we headed back to Tante's to dry off and get ready to go over to Gabi's again.
The last day I was there, I just headed to the train station, so I didn't really get to see much of the city. But it was still nice to be in my homeland and share it with my friends.
Hello Friends and Family!
It's been a really long time since I've been able to sit down and write. The rest of my European holiday was a lot of fun. The girls and I headed to Vienna to visit with my family and see the city. It rained most of the time but it was still very cool to be back and reconnect with my Austrian relatives.
On Saturday I took a train to Salzburg to catch my plane back to the UK. From London, I took the overnight bus again on a return trip to Edinburgh. I got there in time to meet up with my parents and brother at the airport. (Much rejoicing!) From there, we drove to St Andrews so they could see where I've been living the past few months and I could do some repacking. The next day we set off for the Highlands. We saw Loch Ness and the castle Urqhart right on the water. Nessie didin't appear but we got to take some close-ups of the Highland cows, which are the cutest things ever.
I have to run to class but later I will finish this!!
Cheers, Hallie

Found November 11, 2012 on Celtics Green ...a boston celtics blog.:
PLAYERS: Rajon Rondo, Brandon Jennings, Jared Sullinger, Courtney Lee, Brandon Bass, Jason Terry, Chris Wilcox, Jeff Green, Samuel Dalembert, Paul Pierce
TEAMS: Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks
TEAMS: Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks
The Celtics won another very ugly game as they prevailed over the Milwaukee Bucks and avenged the loss in their home opener. They started off slow, struggling to hit shots and once again lacking defense. Milwaukee scored 30 of the first 38 points in the paint. But, in the second half, the Celtics tightened the defense and were able to execute down the stretch to get their 3rd win of the year.

(AP Photo/Jim Prisching) Doc shook up the starting lineup again, moving Jared Sullinger and Courtney Lee to the bench in favor of Brandon Bass and Jason Terry. Bass scored 8 points on 3-6 shooting to go with 7 rebounds and 1 block before he fouled out with 1:48 left in the game. Jason Terry was the only player hot early, scoring 15 points on 5-7 shooting along with 2 assists. Chris Wilcox had another solid outing off the bench with 6 points on 3-5 shooting along with 3 rebounds. Jared Sullinger played just under 7 minutes and finished with 2 points and 4 rebounds. Courtney Lee played 28 minutes and went 0-3 and had just 1 rebound to show for his time on the court. Jeff Green finally showed some of the ability that the Celtics have been waiting for. He finished with 12 points (3-8 from the field and 6-8 from the line) to go with 3 rebounds and 2 blocks. He also made some key plays down the stretch.

KG was KG-like with 18 points (6-8) along with 6 rebounds and 3 assists. Rajon Rondo finished with 10 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds and 1 steal. He kept his streak of double digit assists going, now at 30, but ended his streak of games with 11 or more assists at 27, which ties the record for the most in league history. The Celtics were out-rebounded 44-40. They started out slowly, but were very aggressive on the boards down the stretch. They are still turning the ball over too much. Most of their 14 turnovers were in the first half and they were more focused in the second half. The Bucks had 15 fast break points to 12 for the Celtics. The Bucks seemed to have an open path to the basket off of turnovers in the first half but the Celtics played much better defense in the second half. The Celtics were outscored in 48-32 in the paint. After a poor shooting first half, they finished the game shooting 44.4% from the field. They held the Bucks to 39.8% shooting for the game.
