Japan's obsession with youth.

I thought dirty panties vending machines was common knowledge.
Anyway, that's really only an elaboration on the subject.
I want to know what exactly it is, and WHY they have this obsession.
They deemed those vending machines illegal just a year ago.
Also, it`s not just the Japanese that have this obsession with youth; you can see that in the U.S. with people dying their hair to hide their grey, going through botox procedures to hide the wrinkles in their face, or in extreme cases, get plastic surgery to fix their bodily imperfections. (Even though plastic surgery is more of a Korean cultural phenomenon than anything, but that`s a discussion for another day).
The only difference between Japan and most Western cultures -- the way I see it, correct me if I`m wrong -- is that the Japanese age with more grace compared to the U.S. -- where they are more subject to abuse and neglect rather than respect.
Now, if you question the fascination with lolicon, then you got me beat right there.
A simple motion. ♥ Over and over.
Eh, probably not. I have never been in the JET program, but I know several people who were/are in it. None of them currently live here in Japan though.
Knitting up a storm!
I don't really think Japan has an "obsession with youth"; certainly not to the extent that America does anyhow. If I had to generalize, I'd say that they age a bit more gracefully and that age isn't looked upon as a source of shame and frailty, but rather, one of experience.
i don't know if it's so much of an obsession than it is just.. well when you're younger you have more freedoms. most of the careers offered for the adults in japan don't allow them to dress in a certain way, fix their hair in a certain way, require their females come to work in makeup, have no unnatural haircolors (they required i dye my bleached hair back to black cause i'm asian), etc etc etc. and what, your woman is giving birth? eff that shit, go back to work, what do you think you have -- A LIFE? so that is why people think back to their younger days, when their lives were not so determined by something else.
Every culture has an obsession with youth. An obsession with immortality and preventing aging, etc.
I know Japan and America has it. But think about it historically - every culture has rich folklore based around eternal youth of sorts. Quite often showing that aging is part of the good of life and trying to retain youth often involves evil acts if you think about it.
I'm stranger, this land is stranger. Together we're strangers...
(they required i dye my bleached hair back to black cause i'm asian)
That's just racist.
i would say super conservative rather than racist. luckily i didn't have too much of a problem with it, but it was a rude awakening that most companies ask this of asian looking employees. "unnatural" looking hair colors were not allowed. anything lighter than a dark brown had the image of being "wild" or "untrustworthy" or something. pffft iunno, still think it's a bunch of bull. i guess it's similar to the older generation having a thing against kids with tattoos in america.
when you're young, you're naive and have dreams and what not. Older people have to work, know reality etc.
It's not really a Japanese thing, its prevalent in all cultures.

In 2011 Novell sold the SUSE franchise to Attachmate, who has run it since, and a portfolio of patents to a Microsoft consortium. But now Novell shareholders are alleging the deal was cooked, and Novell's board withheld information from another potential bidder to ensure Attachmate would win. From Groklaw: "Party C actually bid a bit higher than Attachmate. But the allegation is that Attachmate was favored with information that Party C was not given". The news doesn't affect Attachmate, who won the bid. But Novell's Board of Directors is going to have some explaining to do.

- For film quotes, see Sex and the City: The Movie.
Sex and the City is an American comedy-drama television series, which originally aired on HBO from June 6, 1998, to February 22, 2004. The series depicts the lives and loves of four single women living in trendy Manhattan.
Season 1[edit]
Sex and the City[edit]
- Carrie: [voiceover] Welcome to the age of un-innocence. No one has breakfast at Tiffany's and no one has affairs to remember.
- Big: Oh, I get it... You've never been in love.
- Carrie: Wait... have you ever been in love?
- Big: Abso-fucking-lutely!
Models and Mortals[edit]
- Carrie: [voiceover] Modelizers are obsessed not with women, but with models, who in most cities are safely confined to billboards and magazines, but in Manhattan actually run wild on the streets, turning the city into a virtual model country safari where men can pet the creatures in their natural habitat.
- Charlotte: I just know no matter how good I feel about myself, if I see Christy Turlington, I just want to give up!
- Miranda: Well, I just want to tie her down and force-feed her lard, but that's the difference between you and me.
Bay of Married Pigs[edit]
- Carrie: Charlotte treated marriage like a sorority she was desperately hoping to pledge.
- Carrie: Everywhere I looked, people were standing in two's. It was like Noah's upper west side rent-controlled ark.
Valley of the Twenty Something Guys[edit]
- Samantha: [on the phone] I am so fucked.
- Carrie: What's wrong?
- Samantha: No, I mean, literally. I have been fucked every way you can be fucked.
- Carrie: If you keep talking like that, I'm gonna charge you by the minute.
- Samantha: Front, back, who cares? A hole is a hole.
- Miranda: Can I quote you?
- Samantha: Oh, don't be so judgmental. You could use a little back door.
- Charlotte: I'm not a hole!
- Carrie: Honey, we know.
- Samantha: Look, all I'm saying, that this is—this is a physical expression that the body was... well, it was designed to experience. And P.S., it's fabulous.
- Charlotte: What are you talking about? I went to Smith!
- Samantha: Look, I'm just saying, with the right guy, and the right lubricant...
- [Carrie, Miranda and Samantha start laughing when the cab hits a hole]
- Charlotte: What was that?
- Miranda and Samantha: A preview.
The Power of Female Sex[edit]
- Carrie: We had such a fantastic connection. Then he leaves me money. I don't understand. What exactly about me screams "whore"?
- Miranda: Besides the thousand dollars on the end table?
- Samantha: Money is power. Sex is power. Therefore, getting money for sex is simply an exchange of power.
- Miranda: Don't listen to the dime-store Camille Paglia.
Secret Sex[edit]
- Charlotte: [to Carrie, about her date with Big] I thought you were serious about this guy. You can't sleep with him on the first date.
- Samantha: Oh, God!
- Miranda: Here she goes again with "The Rules."
- Samantha: The women who wrote that book, they wrote it because they couldn't get laid, so they constructed this whole bullshit theory to make women who can get laid feel bad.
- Samantha: Reality check: a guy can just as easily dump you if you fuck him on the first date as he can if you wait until the tenth.
- Miranda: When have you ever been on a tenth date?
The Monogamists[edit]
- Miranda: Oral sex is like God's gift to women. You can get off without worrying about getting pregnant.
- Samantha: Plus, the sense of power is such a turn-on. Maybe you're on your knees, but you got 'em by the balls.
- Charlotte: Now, you see, that is the reason that I don't wanna go down this road.
- Carrie: Oh, sweetheart, if you're gonna get all choked up about it... just don't do it. Don't do it.
- Miranda: But if you don't go down on him, how can you expect him to go down on you?
- Charlotte: I don't.
- Miranda: Oh, well, forget it! I only give head to get head.
- Samantha: Me too.
- Random woman: Monogamy is fabulous. It gives you a deep and profound connection to another human being, and you don't have to shave your legs as much.
Three's a Crowd[edit]
- Samantha: Threesomes are huge right now. They're the blow job of the '90s.
- Charlotte: What was the blow job of the '80s?
- Samantha: Anal sex.
- Miranda: [about the married man Samantha is having an affair with] He's never gonna leave his wife for you, you know. They never do.
- Samantha: Thank God. Who needs the trouble? This is ideal. No muss, no fuss.
- Carrie: Sounds like you're selling toilet bowl cleaner.
The Turtle and the Hare[edit]
- Carrie: I'm not gonna replace a man with some battery-operated device.
- Miranda: You say that, but you haven't met "The Rabbit."
- Samantha: Oh, come on. If you're gonna get a vibrator, at least get one called "The Horse."
- Charlotte: A vibrator does not call you on your birthday. A vibrator doesn't send you flowers the next day. You cannot take a vibrator home to meet your mother.
- Miranda: Well, I know where my next orgasm is coming from. Who here can say as much?
- Carrie: [voiceover] My Zen teacher once told me that there was nothing like yoga to quiet a busy mind. Just as I had reached the moment of no thought...
- Charlotte: [whispering] I think I broke my vagina.
- Carrie: Oh, sorry. Am I pulling too hard?
- Charlotte: No, metaphorically, I mean. With the Rabbit.
The Baby Shower[edit]
- Carrie: Oh, shit! I totally spaced. I forgot to buy her a present. How tacky is it to give the mother-to-be a fistful of cash?
- Samantha: Oh, don't worry about it. [picks up a bottle of Scotch] You can go in on mine.
- Carrie: You bought a pregnant woman a bottle of Scotch?
- Samantha: The invitation said BYOB.
- Miranda: That meant "bring your own baby."
- Miranda: I just realized... maybe it's maturity or the wisdom that comes with age, but the witch in "Hansel and Gretel"—she's very misunderstood. I mean, the woman builds her dream house and these brats come along and start eating it.
The Drought[edit]
- Woman on the street: They say the average 33-year-old woman has sex 3.5 times a week. I'd like to know who that woman is.
- Miranda: [to a heckling construction worker] You got what I want? You got what I need? Well, what I want is to get laid. What I need is to get laid. I need to get laid!
Oh Come All Ye Faithful[edit]
- Samantha: [after announcing she met a guy she's in love with] I'd totally given up on the idea that you could actually talk to men.
- Carrie: Hey, don't spread that around.
- Samantha: Before James, all my conversations consisted of two sentences—"give it to me" and "go home." And I owe it all to Charlotte.
- Charlotte: Me? What did I do?
- Samantha: All that bullshit you spout about not sleeping with men right away actually paid off. I mean, if I'd fucked James already, who knows where we'd be.
- Miranda: Wait. You haven't had sex yet?
- Samantha: Soon. You know... I think he's someone I could actually marry.
- Charlotte: Samantha, that's great.
- Carrie: [voiceover] The idea that Samantha could possibly get married before she did shook Charlotte's beliefs to the core.
- Samantha: [crying] James has a small dick.
- Carrie: Aw... Well, it's not the end of the world.
- Samantha: It's really small.
- Miranda: How small?
- Samantha: Too small.
- Carrie: Well, size isn't everything.
- Samantha: Three inches?
- Carrie: Well...
- Samantha: Hard?
- Charlotte: Is he a good kisser?
- Samantha: Oh, who the fuck cares? His dick is like a gherkin!
Season 2[edit]
Take Me Out to the Ballgame[edit]
- Charlotte: It takes half the total time you went out with someone to get over them.
- Carrie: I always like a good math solution to any love problem.
- Miranda: How did it happen that four such smart women have nothing to talk about but boyfriends? It's like seventh grade with bank accounts.
The Awful Truth[edit]
- Samantha: That can be a turn-on.
- Miranda: Sure, but now he wants me to reciprocate, and I can't. I never could.
- Carrie: Why not?
- Miranda: Because sex is not a time to chat. In fact, it's one of the few instances in my overly articulated, exceedingly verbal life where it is perfectly appropriate—if not preferable—to shut up. And now suddenly I have to worry about being stumped for conversation? No, thank you.
- Charlotte: Just keep talking about his big cock.
- Samantha: Correction—his big, beautiful cock.
- Carrie: We're using the "C" word now?
- [Samantha and James are in a couples counseling session]
- Samantha: Your penis is too small!
- James: Excuse me?
- Samantha: It doesn't... and it just... it can't. And I can't. And it's... it's just too damn small.
- James: Did you ever stop to think that maybe your vagina is too big? [gets up and leaves]
- Samantha: What can I say? I need a big dick.
- Dr. Velma Rubin: I hear that.
The Freak Show[edit]
- Miranda: I'm sorry, if a man is over 30 and single, there's something wrong with him. It's Darwinian. They're being weeded out from propagating the species.
- Carrie: Okay, what about us?
- Miranda: We're just choosy.
- Charlotte: Forget it. I'm not dating anyone who is known as Mr. Pussy.
- Samantha: Why not?
- Charlotte: Well, maybe I want more than that.
- Samantha: Oh, sweetie, if a man is good at that, there is nothing more.
- Carrie and Miranda: Amen.
They Shoot Single People, Don't They?[edit]
- Miranda: Orgasm, major thing in a relationship?
- Charlotte: Yeah, but not the only thing. Orgasms don't send you Valentine's Day cards and don't hold your hand in a sad movie.
- Carrie: Mine do.
- Samantha: Is he that bad in bed?
- Miranda: No, he's just... He's a guy. They can rebuild a jet engine, but when it comes to a woman... What's the big mystery? It's my clitoris, not the Sphinx!
- Carrie: I think you just found the title for your autobiography.
- Samantha: You know, it's really not their fault. They don't come with a manual. If I had a son, I'd teach him all about the vagina.
- Carrie: If you had a son, we'd call social services.
Four Women and a Funeral[edit]
- Charlotte: Everyone needs a man. That's why I rent. If you own and he still rents, then the power structure is all off. It's emasculating. Men don't want a woman who's too self-sufficient.
- Samantha: I'm sorry, did someone just order a Victorian straight up?
- Carrie: So how was the sex?
- Charlotte: Amazing! It was like Liz was looking over us, giving us her blessing.
- Carrie: A threesome in absentia.
- Charlotte: I mean, my hat blew right into her headstone. She was clearly sending a message.
- Miranda: Yeah, "don't fuck my husband, you hat-loving bitch."
The Cheating Curve[edit]
- Samantha: Nobody told me it was BYO man.
- Carrie: Well, what did you expect? It's a lesbian art show.
- Samantha: I know! But don't straight guys usually follow them around to see what they're going to do?
- Samantha: Men cheat for the same reason that dogs lick their balls: because they can. It's part of their biology. Instead of wasting all this energy condemning it, maybe it's time we all got in line with the reality of the situation.
- Carrie: Well, that sounds very empowering, but you're forgetting one important detail.
- Miranda: God, I hope so.
- Carrie: Women cheat.
- Charlotte: Yeah, but it's completely different.
- Samantha: How?
- Charlotte: 'Cause we don't go around randomly attacking any man that we're attracted to.
- Samantha: Speak for yourself.
- Charlotte: We're not driven by testosterone.
- Carrie: Then what does drive us according to you?
- Charlotte: Emotions.
- Samantha: You mean hormones.
- Charlotte: No. I mean that little voice inside of me that says, "Mate for life! Mate for life!"
- Samantha: Sweetheart, you can't go listening to every fucking little voice that runs through your head. It'll drive you nuts.
The Chicken Dance[edit]
- Charlotte: I just don't understand. How could you forget someone you slept with?
- Carrie: Toto, I don't think we're in single digits anymore.
- Carrie: Are you sure you can leave the Guest Book unattended?
- Miranda: It's a bullshit job, Carrie. People know what to do with the guestbook.
The Man, The Myth, The Viagra[edit]
- Carrie: I'm at Big's.
- Miranda: You're at Big's? You and I are having dinner tonight!
- Carrie: Well, he got this veal...
- Miranda: You blew me off for a piece of politically incorrect meat??
Old Dogs, New Dicks[edit]
- Carrie: You've never seen an uncircumcised one?
- Charlotte: I'm from Connecticut!
- Miranda: If 85% [of men] aren't circumcised, that means I've only slept with 15% of the population, tops.
- Carrie: Wow, you're practically a virgin!
The Caste System[edit]
- Carrie: Now I've laid down a gauntlet. He either has to say "I love you" back or I guess I'm going to have to break up with him.
- Charlotte: Well, how long are you going to give him?
- Carrie: Well, I didn't put an expiration date on the sentiment, but I figure it's got the shelf life of a dairy product. It's going to start to curdle in about a week.
- Steve: What's wrong with corduroy?
- Miranda: I don't have enough time to tell you what's wrong with corduroy.
- Samantha: I never leave underwear at a guy's place because I never see it again.
- Charlotte: What happens to it?
- Samantha: Nothing; I just never go back.
- Carrie: Doesn't that get a little expensive, disposing of lingerie every time you sleep with a guy?
- Samantha: That's why I stopped wearing underwear on dates.
- Miranda: And that's why I'm never borrowing a dress from you again.
- Charlotte: I am so confused. Is he gay or is he straight?
- Carrie: Well, it's not that simple anymore. The real question is, is he a straight gay man or is he a gay straight man?
- Carrie [voiceover] : The gay straight man was a new strain of heterosexual male spawned in Manhattan as the result of overexposure to fashion, exotic cuisine, musical theater and antique furniture.
La Douleur Exquise![edit]
- Charlotte [about a waiter dressed in a bondage outfit] : How does he wait on tables dressed like that? It's humiliating.
- Carrie: Well, the summer I worked at Howard Johnson's I had to wear an orange hat.
- Samantha [to Charlotte] : I wonder what your fetish is.
- Stanford: Charlotte has a thing for Crabtree & Evelyn potpourri.
- Carrie: After we made love I knew it was over. Did I ever really love Big or was I addicted to the pain? The exquisite pain of wanting someone so unattainable?
- Big: Come to bed.
- Carrie: I wanted to go to him, but I felt like I was tied to the chair. Some part of me was holding me back, knew I'd reached my limit. And just like that, I untied myself from Mr. Big, I was free, but there was nothing exquisite about it.
Games People Play[edit]
- Samantha: The only place you can control a man is in bed. If we perpetually gave men blow jobs we could run the world!
- Carrie: And at least our hands would be free to greet dignitaries and stuff.
- Carrie: [about therapists] First they want you to come there two times a week, then three times a week, and eventually you're starting every sentence with 'my therapist says...'
- Miranda: My therapist says that's a very common fear.
The Fuck Buddy[edit]
- Samantha: Carrie, you can't date your fuck buddy.
- Carrie: Say it a little louder, I don't think the old lady in the last row heard you.
- Samantha: You're going to take the only person in your life that's there purely for sex, no strings attached, and turn him into a human being? Why?
- Miranda: You double-booked?
- Carrie: How do you conceive pulling this one off?
- Charlotte: Early dinner with bachelor number one, late supper with bachelor number two.
- Samantha: My god, you're turning into a man!
- Carrie [voiceover] : Apparently Charlotte had done more than just break a pattern. She had actually changed genders.
- Charlotte: I just don't know how I'm going to eat two dinners in a row.
- Carrie [voiceover] : And just like that, she was a woman again.
- Duncan: I'm just one of those weird male aberrations who prefers to be married. I like stability, I like routine. I like knowing there's people waiting for me at home. I guess that makes me sound pretty dull.
- Miranda: Are you kidding? You're the heterosexual Holy Grail.
- Samantha: I fucked a guy once because his family had a pool. He was pretty much a nerd, but... I'd go over there and get all cocoa-buttered up. His mom loved me. She was always serving me Kool-Aid and chips.
- Carrie: Kool-Aid?
- Samantha: Yeah! Kool-Aid! I was 13. And honey, you should have seen my tan.
- Charlotte: [to Samantha, after discovering she had slept with Charlotte's brother Wesley] Is your vagina in the New York City guidebooks? Because it should be, it's the hottest spot in town! It's always open!
Was It Good for You?[edit]
- Miranda: I'm trying to change my bed karma. I figure if I can make my bed a place I really want to be, others will feel the same.
- Carrie: Aah, the Field of Dreams.
- Miranda: Exactly. If you build it, he will come.
- Carrie: [about her date who wouldn't kiss her] I couldn't figure it out. I knew he wanted me because during my lean-in-and-kiss-me-good-night move, I accidentally on purpose felt his pop-up-and-say-hello.
Twenty-Something Girls vs. Thirty-Something Women[edit]
- Charlotte: It's a really cute three bedroom cottage and they're giving us a fantastic deal for the month of August.
- Carrie: Yeah, of course it's a good deal. It's haunted with cheating boyfriends and sexual rejection.
- Samantha: We could always burn sage.
- Carrie: And then I realized something, twenty-something girls are just fabulous, until you see one with the man who broke your heart.
Ex and the City[edit]
- Carrie: There is no way that the love that I had with Big is the same thing that he has with Natasha.
- Miranda: "Natasha"? When did you stop calling her "the idiot stick figure with no soul"?
- Carrie: Then I had a thought: maybe I didn't break Big. Maybe the problem was he couldn't break me. Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free, until they find someone just as wild to run with.
Season 3[edit]
Where There's Smoke[edit]
- Miranda: What is it about fireman, even when they aren't that cute, they're cute... ya know?!
- Samantha: It's that whole hero complex
- Carrie: And then there's the weight restriction
- Charlotte: It's because women just really want to be rescued.
- Charlotte [drunk] : I'm nice. I'm pretty, and smart! I'm a catch!
Politically Erect[edit]
- Carrie: I figured we made a good match. I was adept at fashion; he was adept at politics. And really, what's the difference? They're both about recycling shop-worn ideas and making them seem fresh and inspiring.
- Stanford: I can only stay a few minutes. I got tickets to the Vagina Monologues.
- Carrie: Why?
- Stanford: Just because I don't eat at the restaurant doesn't mean I can't hear the specials.
Attack of the Five Foot Ten Woman[edit]
- Carrie: There are very few things this New Yorker loves as much as Sunday brunch. You can sleep until noon and still get eggs anywhere in the city, alcohol is often included with the meal, and Sunday is the one day a week you get the single woman's sports pages: the New York Times wedding section.
- Carrie: I've talked to her twice. Once I was in a cowboy hat and once I was in my bra. I'm like frickin' Annie Get Your Clothes On.
Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl[edit]
- Samantha: I once dated a guy who liked to wear my underwear but I've never gone the other way.
- Stanford: See, when you're gay, everyone can wear everyone's underwear.
- Charlotte: That's hygienic.
- Carrie [about her date] : He's not that young.
- Miranda: He's twenty-six. His generation has a totally different letter than ours.
No Ifs, Ands Or Butts[edit]
- Charlotte: ...you shouldn't be talking like that at all, Samantha, it's rude and politically incorrect.
- Carrie: Sweetie, a reminder: Samantha is rude and politically incorrect.
- Miranda: She's an equal opportunity offender.
- Samantha: [after her date's sister harassed her because she's white] Talk about politically incorrect! She can't diss me because I'm white!
- Carrie: Please tell me you didn't say diss...
- Charlotte: Maybe you should stop seeing him, Samantha. Race is a very big issue.
- Samantha: No, there is no reason to bring race into this. Chivon is a sweet man. We have great sex--and he happens to have the biggest--
- Charlotte: [interrupts loudly] --black cock! We know! He has a big black cock!
- Samantha: I was about to say "biggest heart"...now that you're so interested, yes. He does have a big black cock. [smiles contently]
Are We Sluts?[edit]
- Charlotte: Do you think I'm a whore?
- Samantha: Oh please, if you're a whore, what does that make me?
- [All the girls are silent]
- Carrie: Wow! It's like a Danielle Steele novel in here!
- Aidan: From a writer, I'm pretty sure that's an insult.
Drama Queens[edit]
- Miranda: Steve is completely predictable but that's one of the things I love about him. He's just so comfortable and safe.
- Carrie: Are you dating a man or a minivan?
- Samantha: Your relationship is my greatest fear.
- Charlotte: Allow me to get right to the point, guys. After careful consideration, I have decided that I am getting married this year.
The Big Time[edit]
- Charlotte: Do you have another?
- Carrie: Ladies, I am not Tampax central. Put on list: buy tampons.
- Charlotte: Well, I have them at home but they won't fit in my Kate Spade purse.
- Miranda: Wow — Kate must have a tiny vagina.
- Miranda: I do want [a baby] eventually and my clock is running out... I mean, I've only got like a million viable eggs left.
- Carrie: Three hundred of which we just killed with those martinis at lunch.
Easy Come, Easy Go[edit]
- Samantha: Well, let's just say it: you won.
- Carrie: Was there a contest?
- Samantha: Oh please! There's always a contest with an ex. It's called "who will die miserable."
- Charlotte: I proposed to myself!
- Carrie: What?
- Charlotte: Yes. I suggested he have a tomato salad, then I suggested we get married.
- Carrie: Wait. What exactly did he say?
- Charlotte: Alrighty!
- Carrie: Alrighty? He said alrighty? Now I'm thinking the upsetting thing isn't that you proposed, it's that you proposed to a guy that says "alrighty."
- Charlotte: Oh, Carrie, stop!
- Carrie: Alrighty.
All or Nothing[edit]
- Samantha: Don't beat yourself up. Aidan hasn't said "I love you" yet. Until he does, you're a free agent.
- Carrie: What is that, The Rules according to Samantha?
- Samantha: See? I'm more old fashioned than you think.
- Miranda [reviewing Charlotte's prenuptial agreement] : Listen, this is just their opening offer. It's totally standard to go back in and negotiate.
- Charlotte: Negotiate? I can't even buy stuff on sale!
Running With Scissors[edit]
- Miranda [looking at a bridal magazine] : Ooh! Cute purse!
- Charlotte: No purses! There's no time for purses! This is gown-specific!
- Miranda: What's your theme again? A Nazi wedding?
- Samantha: What if I have it?
- Carrie: You don't have it.
- Samantha: Sometimes it takes me a really long time to get over a cold.
- Carrie: That's not AIDS, it's central air conditioning.
Don't Ask, Don't Tell[edit]
- Miranda [talking about a man wearing a kilt]: I wonder what they wear underneath those?
- Samantha: I'll find out!
- Charlotte [After the wedding] I finally get to sleep with Trey.
- Carrie: Excuse me?
- Miranda: You haven't slept with him yet?
- Samantha: Honey, before you buy the car you take it for a test drive!
- Carrie: It's hard to find people who will love you no matter what. I was lucky enough to find three of them.
Escape From New York[edit]
- Charlotte: So how are you?
- Carrie: I'm good. How are you?
- Charlotte: Great.
- [pause]
- Carrie: I told Aidan about the affair and he broke up with me.
- Charlotte: Trey and I never had sex on our honeymoon.
- Carrie: You win. So. Should we get more coffee or should we get two guns and kill ourselves?
- Samantha: I've got something to make you feel better. [hands Carrie and Miranda packages]
- Carrie: Oh! Dildos before 10 am! I'm all perked up!
Sex and Another City[edit]
- Miranda: Maybe it's time that I stop being so angry.
- Carrie: Yeah, but what would you do with all your free time?
- Miranda: [to Samantha, who's offered to take Charlotte to a Playboy Mansion party] Why would that cheer her up? Does she look like a 22-year-old frat boy?
Hot Child in the City[edit]
- Samantha: Are you in pain? I'm in pain just looking at you.
- Miranda: I'm a 34-year-old woman with braces and I'm on a liquid diet. Pain doesn't begin to cover it.
- Psychiatrist: One client rather whimsically dubbed his anus "the chocolate starfish."
- Trey: Are you quite sure you went to Yale?
- Miranda: They're starting to die on us.
- Charlotte: Oh my god.
- Samantha: Well, at least you weren't stood up.
- Miranda: 35 and they're dying! We should just give up now.
- Carrie: Well, on the bright side this could explain why they don't call back.
- Charlotte: How did he...
- Miranda: Heart attack. At the gym.
- Carrie: See? This is why I don't work out.
- Charlotte: We've been trying, you know, to...
- Samantha: Fuck?
- Charlotte: Whatever. And it's just not...
- Samantha: Getting big and hard?
- Carrie: What is this, dirty Mad Libs?
What Goes Around Comes Around[edit]
- Carrie: I came here today because I needed to say how sorry I am. I am deeply sorry for what I did to you. It was wrong and I'm sorry.
- Natasha: Are you through?
- Carrie: Yes. Thank you for listening.
- Natasha: Wait.. I'm sorry too.
- Carrie: You are?
- Natasha:Yes, I'm sorry about it all. I' m sorry he moved to Paris and fell in love with me. I'm sorry that we ever got married. I'm sorry he cheated on me with you and I'm sorry that I pretended to ignore it for as long as I did. I'm sorry I found you in my apartment, fell down the stairs and broke my tooth. I'm very sorry that after much painful dental surgery this tooth is still a different colour than this tooth. Finally I'm sorry that you felt the need to come down here. Now, not only have you ruined my marriage, you 've ruined my lunch.
- Carrie: The universe may not always play fair, but at least it's got a hell of a sense of humor.
- Samantha: [At a BBQ] Who wants a wiener?
- Transexual: Girl, I'm trying to get rid of one!
- Carrie:[Narrating] Later that night, I got to thinking about men, and women and relationships. Or more to the point, how women feel men disappoint them in relationships. Then a radical, almost earth-shattering thought popped into my head. What if everything isn't the man's fault? After a certain age, and a certain number of relationships; if it still isn't working and the ex's seem to be moving on and we don't, perhaps the problem isn't the last boyfriend, or the one before him, or even the one before him! Could it be, that the problem isn't them, but horror of horrors - is it us?
Season 4[edit]
The Agony and the 'Ex'-tacy[edit]
- Woman at party: Oh, what a beautiful wedding ring! Where's your husband?
- Charlotte: Oh, um, he's not here. We're actually taking some time apart. We're separated—not legally separated, nothing legal, oh, God, no! We're just taking some time to figure things out. We got married really fast—love at first sight, didn't think it through. So, now we're talking and trying to figure out what he—actually, we, he and I—really want. We love each other so much, but that doesn't always mean a marriage is working, does it? No, it does not. We had some problems, in the bedroom. But it was more about the fact that we got married so fast. So, now we're just talking and trying to figure things out—just talking, nothing physical. I think it's better if we just talk. So, we are talking until we figure it all out. So, no, he's not here.
- Woman: Oh, okay. I have to... [to friend] Don't talk to her.
- Charlotte: Samantha, your face is glowing. Did you get a facial or something?
- Samantha: I masturbated all afternoon.
- Carrie: All right, then.
- Miranda: Seriously? All afternoon?
- Samantha: Well, two, two and a half hours.
- Miranda: Who's got that kind of time? I like to get in and get out.
- Samantha: Well, I enjoy a quickie every now and then too, but when it's good like today, I go with it. I masturbated to my priest.
- Charlotte: Your priest?
- Samantha: Friar Fuck.
- Carrie: Okay, I think we might have to get Charlotte a crash helmet.
- Charlotte: You have a priest?!
- Carrie: No, no, no, no. She wants him, but she can't have him. It's all very Thorn Birds.
- Samantha: In my fantasy he tears the food I'm carrying for the homeless out of my arms, rips open my dress, lays me down in the street and enters me.
- Miranda: What do you do for the next two hours and 20 minutes?
- Charlotte: Stop! You're talking about a priest!
- Samantha: It's a fantasy! I can masturbate to whomever I like. It's imagination. It's fun and perfectly healthy.
The Real Me[edit]
- Charlotte: [talking about her vagina] I don't want to look. I think it's ugly.
- Miranda: Well, maybe that's why it's depressed!
- Carrie: [Carrie is fallen on the runway and she gets up] When real people fall down in life, they get right back up and keep on walking.
Defining Moments[edit]
- Samantha: Oh, who cares what you are! Just enjoy it.
- Charlotte: No, I need to know where we're going.
- Carrie: Yes, we'd like to know where you're going as well, since evidently you'll be having sex there.
- Carrie: I just left "silent Y" in the bathroom. Oh and P.S., apparently the eighties are back.
What's Sex Got to do With It?[edit]
- Miranda: [mocking Samantha's announcement that she is now a lesbian] Oh, I forgot to tell you - I'm a fire hydrant!
- Charlotte: TREY! I'm tired of being married to your penis. I'm a person! And this is supposed to be a relationship! And I am DONE walking on eggshells. Ooooooo, don't talk about moving in, in front of the penis cause it might go soft. And, and the penis likes this and the penis doesn't like that and THE PENIS WANTS TO BE MEASURED!
Ghost Town[edit]
- Charlotte: Your mother decorated this entire apartment, didn't she.
- Trey: Of course! Mother does all our houses.
- Charlotte: I should have known. The plaid, and the mallards...
- Trey: You don't like them?
- Charlotte: No! It's like we live in the Museum of Natural Ugliness!
- Maria: You call this a relationship?
- Samantha: Well, it's tedious and the sex is dwindling, so from what I've heard, YES!
Baby, Talk is Cheap[edit]
- Charlotte: I promise I won't become one of those mothers who can only talk about diaper genies.
- Carrie: Good.
- Samantha: [after Charlotte walks away] What the hell is a diaper genie?
- Carrie: I don't know... someone you hire to change a kid's diaper?
- Carrie: How did this happen? How did they get the message that the ass is now on the menu?
- Miranda: I bet there's one loud-mouthed guy who found some woman who loved it and told everyone 'women LOVE this!'
- Carrie: Who is this guy?
- Miranda: Who's the woman who loved it?
- Samantha: Don't knock it 'till you've tried it!
- Carrie: Bingo!
Time and Punishment[edit]
- Samantha: Fuck men. We have to run to Helga the Hot Waxer every other week, but them? How would they like it if we told them to shape their hedge, trim their trunk?
- Carrie: Plant their bulbs? I'm sorry, we are talking about gardening, aren't we?
- Carrie: I got to thinking about relationships and partial lobotomies: two seemingly different ideas that might just be perfect together—like chocolate and peanut butter.
My Motherboard, My Self[edit]
- Samantha: I've lost my orgasm.
- Carrie: In the cab?
- Charlotte: What do you mean, 'lost'?
- Samantha: I just spent the last two hours fucking with no finale.
- Carrie: It happens. Sometimes you just can't get there.
- Samantha: I can always get there.
- Charlotte: Every time you have sex?
- Carrie: She's exaggerating. Please say you're exaggerating.
- Samantha: Well, I'll admit I have had to polish myself off once or twice, but yes! When I RSVP to a party, I make it my business to come.
- Charlotte: Those flowers were supposed to say "We're so sorry, we love you," not "You're dead, let's disco"!
Sex and the Country[edit]
- Trey: She's expecting us. If we miss the orchid show she'll be devastated.
- Charlotte: Then I guess we'll just have to have sex at your mother's.
- Trey: People having sex in Connecticut? There's a first time for everything.
- Carrie: The only way to get anything to eat in the country is to make it yourself...I'm in no mood for Bisquick!
Belles of the Balls[edit]
- Miranda: Men — wait, let me rephrase that — some men...
- Carrie: Good move, counselor. That will look much better on the court transcripts of this dinner.
- Steve: [on getting a replacement ball that's still in clinical trials] He says it's perfectly safe.
- Miranda: That's what they said about the Ford Pinto. Think about it Steve, you want a Pinto near your penis?
- Charlotte: We are having Trey´s sperm tested
- Miranda: Is it not doing well in school?
Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda[edit]
- Carrie: You're pregnant? Really?
- Miranda: No, I just thought it would be a fun thing to say. Fuck!
- [before Miranda's abortion appointment]
- Miranda: How long before I feel back to normal?
- Carrie: You're going to have to ask them that.
- Miranda: How long for you?
- Carrie: [crosses fingers] Any day now.
Just Say Yes[edit]
- Charlotte: For something called a fling, it looks like a lot of work.
- Bunny: That's what I used to tell Trey about you!
- Miranda: I don't know why they call it morning sickness, because it lasts all fucking day long. Unless it's M-O-U-R-N, as in "mourning the loss of your single life."
The Good Fight[edit]
- Miranda: I don't know... is it okay to fuck one guy when you're pregnant with another guy's baby?
- Carrie: If one more person asks me that today!
- Carrie: I used to think those people who sat alone at Starbucks writing on their laptops were pretentious posers. Now I know: They are people who have recently moved in with someone.
All That Glitters[edit]
- Samantha [answering the phone] : Well, it's about fucking time! Get over here and do me!
- Carrie: Is that your standard greeting now?
- Charlotte: Aah! It's gay porn!!
- Miranda: What was your first clue?
- Charlotte: You said we were watching an independent film! I brought biscotti!
Change of a Dress[edit]
- Carrie: Ooh! I forgot about the washer and dryer! I've been dreaming about that my whole New York life!
- Miranda: It's amazing. In a courtroom, reasonable doubt can get you off for murder. In an engagement, it makes you feel like a bad person.
Ring A Ding Ding[edit]
- Miranda: [reading the card Richard wrote Samantha] "Style for Style. Best, Richard."
- Carrie: Best. Yikes.
- Miranda: "Best" is the worst.
- Samantha: "Best" is like signing "Not Love."
- Miranda: I'm telling you: the fat ass, the farting .. it's ridiculous. I am UN-fuckable. And I have never been so horny in my entire life. ... That's why you're supposed to be married when you're pregnant, so somebody is obligated to have sex with you.
A 'Vogue' Idea[edit]
- Miranda: But who would I invite [to my baby shower] besides you guys?
- Samantha: All the bitches who made you go to theirs!
- Carrie: You think it's as simple as my dad walked out therefore I'll always be screwed up about men?
- Miranda: My father came home at seven on the dot every night and I still have no clue.
I Heart NY[edit]
- Samantha: If you want out of this, just say it.
- Richard: I don't want to have sex once and I want out?
- Samantha: What about yesterday?
- Richard: We were at the opera!
- Samantha: I was bored!
- Carrie: Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.
Season 5[edit]
Anchors Away[edit]
- Carrie [to Samantha] : This past week I've seen Miranda's boobs and Charlotte's boob. Why don't you show me your boobs too and the circle is full?
- [Samantha flashes her boobs]
- Carrie: I was kidding!
- Anthony: When's the last time you had sex?
- [Charlotte pauses to think]
- Anthony: If you had to think about it it's been too long.
- Charlotte: Well, when was the last time you—
- Anthony: 10:30 today at the gym!
Unoriginal Sin[edit]
- Samantha: My friends don't believe you.
- Richard: Am I dating your friends?
- Samantha: With your track record I wouldn't put it past you.
- Carrie: So you're a pessimist, right?
- Miranda: Have we met?
Luck Be an Old Lady[edit]
- Miranda: Why do we get stuck with old maid and spinster and men get to be bachelors and playboys?
- Miranda: I am so excited! I have been dreaming of being alone with these for months.
- Carrie: I love that The New Yorker is your porn.
Cover Girl[edit]
- Courtney [showing Carrie her book cover] : Let me talk you through it. Blurred background, aah, fast paced city. And you, naked with nothing but your ideas.
- Carrie: I get it. But, see, no matter how fast paced the city, I always manage to get my clothes on before I leave the apartment.
- Charlotte: What kind of diet book are you looking for?
- Miranda: I don't know. Something with a title like How to Lose That Baby Fat by Sitting On Your Ass.
Plus One Is the Loneliest Number[edit]
- Charlotte: He should've mentioned her earlier.
- Samantha: But not too early. I hate it when men do that. "I have a girlfriend." Calm down, I just asked if that seat was taken!
- Miranda: I didn't tell Walker I had a baby.
- Charlotte: How could you not mention it?
- Miranda: It didn't come up! If Walker had asked me directly, "have you given birth recently," I would've said... first of all, define "recently."
- Carrie: In New York, they say, you're always looking for a job, a boyfriend or an apartment. So, let's say you have two out of three and they're fabulous. Why do we let the thing we don't have affect how we feel about all the things we do have? Why does one minus a plus one feel like it adds up to zero?
Critical Condition[edit]
- Miranda: No, he's not sick. He's not hungry, he's not teething, he just wants to scream. I'm doing everything I can but I can't please him. If he was 35 this is when we would break up.
- Carrie: Damn! Why is that girl still bothering me?
- Samantha: Honey, you have to let it go. If I worried what every bitch in New York was saying about me, I'd never leave the house.
The Big Journey[edit]
- Miranda: It's times like this I wish women could go to male prostitutes.
- Samantha: Women do.
- Carrie: No, only in bad screenplays and first novels.
- Samantha: Rumor has it a group of guys not resembling the elephant man just got on and they're having a bachelor party in the bar car. Get dressed!
I Love a Charade[edit]
- Harry: Charlotte, I have to marry a Jew.
- Charlotte: She can marry a gay guy and you can't marry an Episcopalian?
- Carrie Bradshaw: He doesn't need her money, he was one of the original investors in "A Chorus Line."
- Miranda Hobbes: Just when I thought it couldn't get any gayer than "Mr. Broadway has to tinkle."
Season 6[edit]
To Market, To Market[edit]
- Miranda: I don´t invest anymore, it´s too volatile
- Carrie: Exactly! I like my money right where I can see it... hanging in my closet!
- Miranda: Twenty dollars for a hamburger. Oh, that's reasonable.
- Samantha: Pathetic! When I moved to this neighborhood, the only thing that cost twenty dollars was a hand job from a tranny.
- Harry Goldenblatt: [talking about his mother's insistence that he marry a Jewish woman] Keeping tradition alive is very important to her. She lost family in the Holocaust.
- Charlotte York: [makes a face]
- Harry Goldenblatt: What?
- Charlotte York: Well, now I can't say anything because you've brought up... the Holocaust.
- Samantha: No smoking in bars? What's next, no fucking in bars?
- Miranda: Well, first there would have to be a no-fucking section.
Great Sexpectations[edit]
- Carrie: Meanwhile, I was finally confident I could heat up my sex life, because I was a sex columnist, I was resourceful, and I was drunkitty drunk drunk.
- Samantha: Did you finally bugger Berger?
- Carrie: How long have you been waiting to say that?
- Samantha: It just came to me.
- Carrie: Yes, I finally buggered Berger.
- Charlotte: [clapping] Yay!
- Miranda: [to Charlotte] You realize you're now applauding intercourse.
The Perfect Present[edit]
- Samantha: Tell me why we're going to this again?
- Carrie: She's an old friend going through a breakup. We're being supportive.
- Samantha: On a Friday night?
- Charlotte: She tried to kill herself!
- Miranda: It was six Advil!
- Charlotte: On an empty stomach!
- Charlotte: Doesn't that waiter look familiar?
- Samantha: I fucked him.
- Carrie: [sarcastically] Oh! That guy!
- Carrie: Turns out, there is no polite way to get out of phone sex!
Pick-A-Little, Talk-A-Little[edit]
- Samantha: Your parents named you Jerry Jerrod? No wonder you drank.
- Jerry: Right?
- Charlotte: Oh, good morning Mrs. Collier. I'm a Jew now. How are you?
- Berger: He's just not that into you.
Lights, Camera, Relationship[edit]
- [Berger is shocked by the price of a Prada shirt]
- Prada Sales Guy: But you will wear it forever!
- Berger: Yeah, I'd have to! Does it also somehow open into a small studio apartment?
- Carrie: It's a check from our publishers. They sold my book in Paris. It's an advance from France!
- Anthony: Nice day to get laid.
Hop, Skip, and a Week[edit]
- Smith [looking at his Absolute Hunk billboard] : Fuck me!
- Samantha: Well, that's the first thing every woman in town will be saying after she sees it.
- Smith: It's huge!
- Samantha: And that's the second.
- Big: How are things with that guy, Hot Dog?
- Carrie: Berger.
The Post-It Always Sticks Twice[edit]
- [Miranda can fit into her "skinny jeans."]
- Charlotte: How'd you do it?
- Miranda: Well, I got pregnant, became a single mother, and stopped having any time to eat.
- Samantha: Oh, that's a diet I won't be trying.
- Billy: All I'm saying is that there's no good way to break up with someone.
- Carrie: Well, it's funny you should mention that Billy, because, actually, there is. You can have the guts and the courtesy to tell a woman, to her face, that you no longer want to see her. Call me crazy but, I think that, you can make a point of ending your relationship in a manner that does not include an e-mail, a doorman, or a missing persons report. I think you could all get over your fear of looking like the bad guy and actually have the uncomfortable break-up conversation Because, here's what; Avoiding that is what makes you the bad guy. And just so you know, Alan -
- Andrew: Andrew.
- Carrie: Uh huh. Most women aren't angry, irrational psychos. We just want an ending to a relationship that... That is thoughtful and decent and honors what we had together. So my point, Billy, is this; There is a good way to break-up with someone, And it doesn't include a post-it!
The Catch[edit]
- Carrie: I tried the trapeze yesterday for that piece that I'm writing.
- Charlotte: I could never! I have the most terrible fear of heights.
- Carrie: Well, I do not. You've seen my shoes.
- Charlotte [wearing her wedding dress] : Is it okay?
- Anthony: Okay? You're Audrey Hepburn... owitz!
A Woman's Right to Shoes[edit]
- Samantha: I'm so sick of these people with their children. I'm telling you, they're everywhere! Sitting next to me in first class, eating at the next table at John Schu—
- [A child runs by]
- Samantha: Look at that. This place is for double cappuccinos, NOT double strollers.
- [Glances at Miranda]
- Samantha: I'm sorry.
- Miranda: Hey, no need to apologize. I wouldn't bring Brady here. Mommy needs two hands to eat her eight-dollar cake!
- Charlotte: You're not going to defend children?
- Miranda: No, I don't like any children but my own.
- Carrie: Think about it. If you are single, after graduation there isn't one occasion where people celebrate you. ... Hallmark doesn't make a "congratulations, you didn't marry the wrong guy" card. And where's the flatware for going on vacation alone?
Boy, Interrupted[edit]
- Charlotte: You're marrying him!
- Carrie: Will you stop? He doesn't even live in New York, he lives in Denver.
- Charlotte: People move! It would be so romantic.
- Carrie: Or tragic. Seriously. If I had the guy in high school, what have I been doing for the last twenty years?
- Charlotte: Did I ever tell you I was a cheerleader?
- Miranda: No, because you knew I would mock you endlessly.
The Domino Effect[edit]
- Charlotte: Big is in town?
- Carrie: Yeah, he's here for a little heart thing.
- Miranda: What, is he on the wait list to get one?
- Samantha: He did something to me that was so perverse! Okay, I'm just going to say it. He tried to hold my hand.
- Carrie: You mean to tell me that Smith is a hand-holder? And to think he once served us food.
- [A performance artist is starving herself and refusing to speak while on public display]'
- Aleksandr: You don't think it's significant?
- Carrie: Oh please! There are depressed women all over New York doing the exact same thing as her and not calling it art. I mean, if you put a phone up on that platform, it's just a typical Friday night waiting for some guy to call.
- Carrie: I was specifically told there would be no clowns. There's nothing scarier than a clown.
Let There be Light[edit]
- Charlotte: I could see it going somewhere.
- Carrie: Oh please, listen, half the time I can't even understand him. We have nothing in common, he's in and out of Europe...
- Charlotte: That could be good!
- Samantha: Honey, you're not listening. She only wants him to be in and out of her.
- Carrie: Yes, but in a much less obvious-sounding way.
- Charlotte [testing fragrances] : Maybe cucumber basil?
- Samantha: Why would you want to smell like a salad?
The Ick Factor[edit]
- Miranda: I said no white, no ivory, no nothing that says virgin. I have a child. The jig is up.
- Miranda: I don't even care about the wedding. I just want to be with Steve.
- Charlotte: [crying] Oh, Miranda!
- Miranda: OK, this is exactly what I don't want. No tears.
- Carrie: [crying] Oh my God.
- Samantha: [crying] I can't believe it.
- Miranda: That's it! You're all freaking me out. [Gets up to leave] Samantha, I expected more from you.
- Miranda: What I don't understand is, if they got it all, why do you need chemo?
- Samantha: Because he's an asshole!
- Carrie: Evidently there could be something microscopic.
- Samantha: Like his dick!
- Carrie: Excuse me, do you have cancer or Tourette's?
- Charlotte York: [on the phone with Miranda] Brady saw us having sex!
- Miranda: And?
- Charlotte York: He was looking at me, during -!
- Miranda: Charlotte, he doesn't know what he's looking at. He doesn't know where his nose is.
- Charlotte York: [yelling] Harry! Brady can't be anywhere near this conversation!
- Harry Goldenblatt: I think it's too late, he just said, "Sex is dirty."
- Charlotte York: That's not funny!
Out of the Frying Pan[edit]
- Aleksandr: I love your house. It's so you.
- Carrie: Small and artless?
- Aleksandr: No, warm and lovely.
- Miranda: Why do I think living in Manhattan is so fantastic?
- Carrie: Because it is.
The Cold War[edit]
- Miranda: I had to walk all the way from the subway in these heels. My feet are killing me.
- Steve: Why didn't you just carry them and wear sneakers like everyone else?
- Miranda: Stop. You can take me out of Manhattan but you can't take me out of my shoes.
- Miranda: I don't talk to Steve about my work.
- Carrie: And he doesn't mind?
- Miranda: I think he prefers it that way.
- Carrie: But you guys share everything else.
- Miranda: Because we're in Brooklyn. There's no one else to talk to!
- Charlotte: I didn't know Lexi had so many friends.
- Carrie: Well, she wasn't always so tragic. Remember the 80's? She was the it girl.
- Samantha: I thought I was the it girl.
- Miranda: Well, it's your word against a dead girl's, so—you win!
- [Carrie and Miranda are fighting because Miranda does not want Carrie to move to Paris with Petrovsky]
- Carrie: Just say it! You don't like him!
- Miranda: Fine! I don't like him!
- Carrie: Then don't you go to Paris with him. [walks away]
An American Girl in Paris (Part Une)[edit]
- Mr. Big: You're moving to Paris with a Russkie?
- Carrie: You do this every time! Every time! What do you have, some kind of radar? 'Carrie might be happy, it's time to sweep in and shit all over it!'

But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.

The show runs from Thursday, Jan. 23 through Sunday, Jan. 26, with hours from noon to 6 p.m. on Thursday and Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
The winter boat show, now in its 25th year and fifth year at Sunroad, provides visitors the opportunity to experience more than 130 sail and powerboats in every price range and size from trailerable 20-foot boats to yachts over 100 feet, said show manager Jim Behun, who doubles as the marina's general manager.
"There are more in-the-water boats than ever before, with a good balance between sail and power," said Behun. "All the major sailboat lines, including some big catamarans, plus numerous powerboat lines, local boatyards and boating-related vendors, will be at the show. We're making a push to ensure it's fun for everybody."
Unlike many boat shows, the Sunroad show offers new and brokerage (or used) boats on the docks. The show's expansive tent and adjacent space feature more than 100 vendors offering services like financing, canvas, electronics, boat maintenance and supplies, surveys, furnishings, boating accessories and clothing.
With the improving economy and low-cost financing again available, the show is attracting more attention from exhibitors selling both boats and services, said organizers. The show sold out its exhibition and dock space far earlier than expected.
"We're busting at the seams," said sales manager Kat Ohlmann. "A number of our in-the-water exhib-itors are expanding their displays, including debuts of several new models. Interest in purchasing boats is higher now, with boat show attendance up everywhere," she said.
The Sunroad show draws about 14,000 visitors annually.
To help "newbies" gain a taste of the boating experience, Seaforth Boat Rentals is offering free sailing lessons and San Diego Electric Boats free rides aboard its 18-foot electric Duffys.
Show tickets are $12, with children 12 and under admitted free. Active-duty military, police, EMTs and fire personnel with ID are admitted free Thursday and Friday.
Because of crowded docks, show organizers ask guests to leave pets and strollers at home, with service animals always welcome.
Parking is available for $10 at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina on Harbor Island, with shuttles provided, plus close-in marina parking priced at $20-25.
Sunroad's Island Deli will again offer hungry show visitors some tasty fare to the accompaniment of steel drums.

I'm trying to figure out what crate to get for Bosley for the house. I don't want anything too large or too small. I've seen the ones that my neighbor's have for their Schnauzers and they look to be about the right size. I also want something that will look semi attractive. :) Thanks!

Golfing on any golf course while ignoring most of the rules and etiquette of the sport. While Street Golfing players will most likely not keep score, chew tobacco, drink a lot, piss a lot, drive carts into woods looking for golf balls and get stuck, and do what ever the hell they want. If a player does not like their shot they will just drop another ball and play that one. A golf course will never appreciate a Street Golfer because basically they ruin the sport for people who A) are good and wish to remain uninterupted, or B) not good and are bitches about everything.
Frank: Lets go play some Street Golf.
Me: ...why not, nothing better to do.

GUANGZHOU, China — (BUSINESS WIRE) — December 12, 2012 — ZWCAD Design, an innovative supplier of CAD solutions to the AEC and MCAD industries, today officially rolled out the release of ZWCAD+ 2012 SP1. This release comes with enhanced performance and new features. With over 400 detailed improvements and 20+ newly added features, users will find a big leap in ZWCAD+'s smooth and efficient design experience compared to the previous release.
20+ new features greatly increase design efficiency
SmartPeek is one of the very efficient tools newly added to ZWCAD+. By focusing on user's design habits, the technology of SmartPeek was developed. Most of the time, when users are dealing with multiple tasks, they need to switch between different drawings. Clicking on the drawings one by one to check take a lot of time, but with SmartPeek, by just pressing the Ctrl and Tab buttons, users can easily switch and preview drawings.
There are more new features in SP1, including but not limited to:
- Multileader and Mleader style for annotation and dimension
- MVSETUP for setting up one or more viewports in layout
- OVERKILL to clean up overlapping geometry
- DELDUPL to delete Duplicate Lines, Circles and Arcs
- LOCKUP & UNLOCK to lock and unlock drawing with password
- ALIASEDIT for command aliases editing
- And more
Over 400 detailed improvements enhances design performance
In this release, users will see how these improvements benefit their design work:
- HATCH now supports Origin Point Setting;
- PEDIT command can be triggered by double clicking on any polyline object;
- RAY now supports sub-commands including Bisect/Horizontal/Vertical/Angle/Offset
- And more
Aside from new features and enhanced performance in SP1, the APIs of ZWCAD+ also became more powerful. To make it convenient for users to search for the already successfully ported apps and more coming up, APP+, a new tab was added to the ZWCAD+ interface panel. Users can click on the tab to find the most suitable and useful tools in order to facilitate their design.
To try on ZWCAD+ 2012 SP1, users can visit: http://www.zwsoft.com/zwcad+2012SP1

The average American cashier makes $20,230 a year, a salary that in a single-earner household would leave a family of four living under the poverty line. But if he works the cash registers at QuikTrip, it's an entirely different story. The convenience-store and gas-station chain offers entry-level employees an annual salary of around $40,000, plus benefits. Those high wages didn't stop QuikTrip from prospering in a hostile economic climate. While other low-cost retailers spent the recession laying off staff and shuttering stores, QuikTrip expanded to its current 645 locations across 11 states.

Bulldogs Finish Seventh at First Regatta of the Spring Season
CHARLESTON, S.C.—While the No. 3 Yale coed sailing team gets to practice at one of the best venues in college sailing, Short Beach in Branford, Conn. has one big disadvantage this time of year: it is in the Northeast where winter, while mild this year, is still in force. The Bulldogs traveled to warmer waters this weekend with only one day of practice under their belts, finishing seventh at the Charleston Spring Intersectional hosted by the College of Charleston.
Charleston demonstrated its southern hospitality on Saturday with sunny skies and temperatures in the 60s. Sailors were greeted with a rather steady breeze of four to eight miles per hour from the East, a pleasant surprise that proved forecasts wrong. As is often the case in the Charleston Cooper River, the current became quite strong after switching following the first set. Six races were completed in each division.
Sunday dawned like Saturday with a breeze from the east of four to eight miles per hour, but it rotated and died quickly, causing an hour and a half windless delay. The breeze then built in from the southwest creating shifty conditions with puffs up to twelve miles per hour range. The current was more consistent than Saturday allowing for better starts and squarer racecourses. Four more races were completed in each division.
Sophomore skipper Chris Segerblom and junior crew Heather May sailed to a sixth place finish in a very tight B division, with just five points separating second through sixth. After not finishing the first race, they faced an uphill battle all regatta, climbing their way back to the top of the pack with five top-five finishes.
Freshman skipper Graham Landy and junior crew Zachary Foreman finished seventh in B division. They finished with five top fives, including a win in the second race, but battled with inconsistency.
No. 4 College of Charleston capitalized on its home water advantage to win the regatta by almost forty points with No. 9 Stanford and No. 8 Georgetown rounding out the top three.
The Bulldogs will return to Charleston next weekend for the Bob Bavier Team Race as well as sailing at Coast Guard at the New London Snow Melt Fleet Race. Both events will be great opportunities for the Bulldogs to reacquaint themselves with the water as they head into the core of their spring season.

Editorial Notice: All opinions are those of the author and not necessarily those of osnews.com
GNU-Darwin is a Darwin-based operating system, but it also GNU-based, in that many thousands of free software titles are provided, all of which are compatible with the Darwin and Mac OS X. Software packaging tools were adapted from FreeBSD for the purpose of distributing the GNU part of the system and other free software items, but Darwin itself also includes many crucial GNU software titles, such as bash and GCC.
Recently, Apple's public source license was revised so that Darwin could be distributed as an FSF recognized free operating system, and we have modified Darwin in accordance with that goal, so that the GNU-Darwin developers now feel free to compete directly against "Linux" and other "open source" projects. In addition, GNU-Darwin continues to support the PowerPC platform and to help Apple users, who may be free software novices. Moreover, now that we have a free version of Darwin, our horizons are greatly expanded. Here we present our third yearly report.
GNU-Darwin is an activist distribution
GNU-Darwin has been an ardent defender of digital liberties, and it is a platform for digital activism. Given the current state of things in the US and elsewhere, strident expressions of democratic power are necessary. The tools of such action include, but are not limited to; boycotts, blockades, community response, de-branding, labor solidarity, whistle-blowing, etc. Once your credibility to engage is established, then the mere threat of such action is often sufficient to produce results.
We have been prepared to take the Distro off-line a couple of times as a form of political action. It is important to realize that the software freedom status of GNU-Darwin was tenuous before the change to the APSL, so we were ready to cut our losses, and remove GNU-Darwin from the internet, if necessary. Now things have improved very much.
In fact, we did blackout the home page as a war protest in March, and we blackened the whole website, after Apple used the DMCA, but we have never actually taken it off line. Fortunately, the situation has never warranted taking the package collection off line, which would be an even more drastic step, and our actual users have never been affected by these actions. In fact, we received many orders and messages of support as a result of our activism.
In general the effects of such action are ambiguous by nature, because the rulers certainly have an interest in denying the influence of democratic power. In particular cases, we can only say that the results are consistent with successful action; Darwin is free. Dmitry is free. The "telescreen" initiative was scuttled at the Commerce Department. Technology companies have been repelled from DMCA-based legal action.
Our users support such action, as illustrated most recently by the predictable upsurge in downloads and orders that accompanied the Europatent protest and the WIPO open source initiative, and we were joined by many new users as well. The upshot for free software projects is this: If your users agree with your sentiments, then they will welcome a small inconvenience in order to join a prominent statement against injustice. This is probably true of the majority of free software projects and many website communities as well. This is how we will make the internet work for us, and do its intended job. We encourage free software projects everywhere to adopt these methods of activism (but also to support groups like EFF, which assist the legislative and legal agenda).
In the SCO dispute, GNU-Darwin has no stake at all, but the lessons of GNU-Darwin-style activism may provide some illumination to those who do have a stake in it. Expressions of strident democratic power are appropriate and to be encouraged. Actions should target SCO and their supporters, including users. If the government takes the side of SCO, then target the government as well. In a capitalistic world, free software projects have a tremendous advantage: By acting without greed, your actions are unfathomable to the corporate oligarchy, which can be easily bested, if you cooperate with your natural allies.
SCO compatibility is the power that you wield. Your users will not mind a little inconvenience in order to be associated with the good that you are doing, and by engaging injustice, you create strong allies for yourself. Don't worry about creating enemies; The cockroaches scatter when you turn on the lights.
A SCO blockade would be an action of community response, which is analogous in some ways to our Free Darwin action. Our third year commenced with the initiation of the The Free Darwin campaign which was followed by the antiwar blackout in March. Free Darwin was an engagement of Apple by GNU-Darwin, wherein we stated that we would continue to develop for the ppc architecture only under certain conditions. The action was amplified by our usership, the strong democratic power that underlies and validates the actions of GNU-Darwin. I'm certainly not trying to take the credit for GNU-Darwin for something that was clearly the work of Apple and FSF. The question is whether or not Free Darwin had a hand in it.
We don't know for sure yet how much GNU-Darwin influenced the events in question, and we may never know. That is the nature of actions like Free Darwin, Free Dmitry, and Stakeholders-7/17, where the rulers will certainly deny that democratic power influenced the event. People will tell you to this day that Adobe "was not hurt" by the boycott. Our aim in Free Darwin was not to hurt Apple, but to assist their excellent progress. Many of us had portentious discussions with people inside Apple during the execution of that action, and we may soon learn the truth about Free Darwin, but maybe never.
Here is what we do know. There was no indication whatsoever that Apple was pursuing free software listing before the Free Darwin action, even though we had been asking for it for almost three years. In fact, Apple's own Darwin FAQ derided the necessity of it. Apple attained that listing 7 months (corporate lightspeed) after commencement of Free Darwin. Fortunately, the action provoked huge coverage and a human groundswell on the web, and apparently impacted Apple's stock price. It provided a focal point for the discontent of the community, so that Apple employees had an opportunity to point to the action and say, "We need to do something positive about this."
We would hope that SCO users and employees would have a similar response to the actions of the free software community, which are for their benefit in the long run.
In isolation, the Free Darwin case is quite weak because of the ambiguity of results. On the other hand, taken together with many other such actions, the case is now overwhelmingly strong. Strident expressions of democratic power appear to be consistently effective (although we have not yet impacted the war against Iraq). We would like people to look at these accomplishments and be inspired to engage themselves for good. It is important not to disparage anyone's efforts, which is the same as discouraging your allies. If everyone does everything that they can, no matter how small, then together we can make an impact. Together we can stop the Englobulators!

why do I keep losing my wifi connection? (Solved)
Hello All,
I keep losing my wifi connection on boot up all is fine but If I leave the PC for more than 20 minutes ( not sure of the exact length of time) I no longer have a connection, only a reboot cures this.
Has anyone any clues as to why this maybe ?
Thanks all

I have heard of wifi cards with a power-save feature that turns them off (which is highly undesirable in Puppy!). I do not recall the remedy.
Standard procedure here is to bring your system specs (or at least make and model) as well as detailed information about the problem and which Puppy you are using.
The more info you give us, the more help we can give you.
Unfortunately many people do not know of this and bring us very vague requests like "i can't boot right please tell me what to do" with little or no actually useful information.
Credit where credit is due:
thank you for being at least somewhat specific with your issue, rather than "my wireless don't work rigth what i do wrong?"
What is needed for this issue is:
(1) What system do you have? Make and model at least, specs would be better (but we can usually look them up if it's not a custom build).
(2) What version of Puppy are you using (or trying to)? Need Puppy's full name, eg Wary Puppy 511.
(3) What is the make and model of the wireless card, if you know it? (At least, which driver are you using?) If the system in question is a laptop and you never changed out the card, we MAY be able to find this for you (no guarantees!) if you don't know it already.
(4) If this is a laptop with a physical wireless switch as well as a light for the card, it would be good to know about this -- also if this is the case, wiggle the switch, as they do tend to go bad after a bit.
EDIT: oh dear, where are my manners?
Welcome, as we say, to the kennels!

I believe this problem has been mentioned before and was caused by some sort of "keep alive" connection with the ISP. If your ISP doesn't see any activity from your computer for a certain period of time, it will drop your connection. I could be wrong about the cause, but I'm sure such a problem has surfaced several times in the forum.

A lot of Puppy versions have a program to help deal with this issue.
Not sure if you have the program in the version of Puppy you are using.
Go to menu->internet->Stay Connected to internet
Make this program active.
It does what it's title says.
If you do not have it, the pet for the program is here:
When it is activated it will be active from that point on.
I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

If stay connected does not help you maybe have a Router
that one need to enter as Admin and to set it to keep wifi?
But I would read what the others suggest first.
I know very little but I had to go into my Router
to keep LAN going I did not test wifi.
another problem with wifi is taht it can drop due to
Microwave oven and such disturbing the signals.
So tell us more what you have and how it behaves
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

O.k like an idiot I tried to post a message up here and then lost the connection resulting in a reboot and lost post so here we go again ! Is there a way of displaying system information as the PC it's self was rescued from a bin and other than being a tiny any other info is unknown and the Puppy disc I am using was burnt a couple of years ago as a trial which I only labeled Puppy 2010 ( Lucid I think !)
The point that some people have made about my system turning off my wifi connection due to inactivity now seems to make sense as I tried leaving an internet radio station on which lasted a good while ( although I lost the connection over night) I have had to use this approach so that I keep the connection whilst I post this message up.
I have just installed stay connected so will give it a trial.
Thanks everyone for the help

For computer info:
Look in menu->System->Information->
Look for a program like:
If you think you are using a version of Lucid Puppy from around 2010, that could be your problem. That was the early days of developing Lucid Puppy and it was buggy.
Try using one of the newer versions of Puppy.

Thanks for the offer starhawk ,but the Tiny PC I have has no model number or type on it at all there is the plastic badge saying Tiny but that is it, I'm guessing there was one but it has long since perished.
The wifi connection problem is now solved by using stay connected so thanks very much for that.

Just for the sake of my curiosity, if you have a digital camera, can you post a picture of this TinyPC? I'm a sucker for small form factor systems (as the formal term goes) and I'd love to see what this looks like.
Unfortunately, google is not terribly helpful with just "TinyPC". All it told me was that there was a UK company selling those that went bust in IIRC '02. Apparently another UK company picked them up shortly after, and that 2nd company went bust in '05. Not very successful, then!
If you have a "HardInfo" entry in your Menu, posting its information (via screenshot or otherwise... I
you can copy out that info as text) would be awesome as well.
EDIT: The two Wikipedia articles that google brought up are

Let's Get Ready to Rumble
Get in the ring and start rasslin' as New Mexico's independent wrestling group DWO (Destiny Wrestling Organization) brings the "Elite 8" to the National Guard Armory (600 Wyoming NE) today at 6 p.m. The stakes are high as eight wrestlers battle for the right to be called champion—like Thunderdome with an overpopulation problem. Admission is $7, while kids 8-and-under are free. For more info, visit dwowrestling.com. (Adam Fox)

Almost five years ago, a client "diagnosed me" as having Adult Attention Deficit Disorder. She knew I had ADD because she did too. I laughed, and then did some self-evaluation…I think she was onto something.
I still haven't been into the doctor to be formally diagnosed, but – all these years later – I'm convinced that there's some truth to this (the people I work with – and my wife – would agree). And, based upon the many SEOs that I've talked to about this subject matter, I would say that the vast majority of SEOs believe they, too, "suffer" from ADD.
If you're not too sure, or if you're not familiar with some of the symptoms of Adult ADD, check out these symptoms, from Helpguide:
- Trouble concentrating/staying focused – easily distracted; trouble completing tasks.
- Hyperfocus – When you ARE into a subject, you are really into it; you lose track of time.
- Disorganized / forgetful.
- Impulsive – Have addictive tendencies (know any SEOs who smoke?).
- Emotional difficulties – don't deal well with frustrations.
- Hyperactivity / restlessness – "racing" thoughts.
Why SEOs Have Symptoms of ADD
Today's SEO is being asked to do a lot. To me, it's no wonder that there's some ADD.
A good SEO nowadays is:
- Technically proficient.
- A sound copywriter.
- An analytics expert.
- A usability consultant.
- A PR genius.
- A social networker who is strategic in their approach yet can mind the details to execute and actually "do some work".
Chances are, you're not going to find all of these attributes (at least not to the degree that you might want them) within one person. And, even if you do happen to find someone who has all of these qualities, they could – quite possibly – have ADD. Knowing that, understand that the qualities that make them "good SEOs" (inquisitive minds) can also lead to these folks drifting, following the trail, only to forget what they're trying to accomplish.
SEO Tools to Get Organized & Get Work Done
When I originally wrote about this, there weren't many (any?) solid enterprise-level SEO management platforms on the market. My original self-evaluation taught me that SEO needs to be managed properly to ensure that good ideas and thoughts are put into actionable recommendations and completed by deadlines:
- Is your company serious about process improvement and project management?
- Do you formally document your entire process and implement this into robust project management software?
Today, there are many tools available to help folks organize their SEO work, so that ideas result in action items which (hopefully) result in results. I won't go so far as to endorse any particular company, but here are a few that have been on my radar:
Other tools might fall into this category (and if so, feel free to add them to the comments, below), but these are just a few that might be worth your consideration.
The idea here is that there are tools available now that didn't exist before. This goes to show just how far search engine optimization has come.
SEO tools help us to be accountable to our clients/companies and earn SEO marketing dollars, where we may have struggled justifying the expenses, previously, for lack of transparency in what we do, lack of understanding as to what the value proposition is currently, or what the opportunity value could be.
What you'll find in many of these tools is an integration of analytics, and an associated "cost per click" value (that is to say, "if you bought this organic traffic via AdWords, it would have cost you X" or "the potential value of traffic, if you earn positioning for this keyword is X"). While the CXOs may never really understand SEO, they will always understand "value" and "potential value".
When you can break that down into further transparency, the purse strings should open up. When SEO is no longer a black box, but rather something that can be digested and understood, people will spend money.
In the End…
Creating a system and/or using tools to organize the work, keep team members accountable, and prove value will further legitimize an industry that many years ago had been called "dead" and help those ADD "sufferers" from getting too distracted, so that they can get some work done.
