THE WEATHER MAN
They say that the British love talking about the weather. For other nationalities,
this can be a banal and boring subject of conversation, something that people
talk about when they have nothing else to say to each other. And yet the
weather is a very important part of our lives. That at least is the opinion of Barry
Gromett, press officer for The Met Office. This is located in Exeter, a pretty
cathedral city in the southwest of England. Here employees - and computers -
supply weather forecasts for much of the world.

Parents can easily become too involved in their kids' lives, or so many parents
and experts are saying in response to a new wave of digital monitoring of
student performance, and social media engagement between parents and
teachers. CNN asks, "Do schools share too much with parents?" Some parents
love being able to see every assignment their child is supposed to complete,
what grades are being posted for every element of coursework, and what
teachers are willing to share about classroom activities, using Twitter or
Facebook. Parents can be involved in the classroom in a way they never have
before. What's more, they don't have to ask their kids, "So, how was school
today?" They already know. This, say some experts, increases the anxiety and
overall dread kids feel about their oppressive school experience: they have no
control. They cannot spin the message. They know they will catch hell for a
grade as soon as they get home. Parents have too much control, are hovering
too much.

He was 13 and I was 12. We met on Facebook. He asked me out and I said yes
but I wasn't really up to it. I grew to love him though, and everything felt plain
perfect. I knew I never wanted to lose him. We broke up and got back together
a lot... but it never felt like he didn't want me. I fell for his friend. He found out
and got mad but he said he still loved me. I got over his friend soon enough but
I found out he was cheating on me. I cried for days and days, but I was too
much in love to break up with him. He texted me telling me he wanted love to
break up with him. He texted me telling me he wanted to talk, I got scared. He
said he was cheating on me and broke up with me. We don't talk anymore... but
I still love him... I recently found out he likes my ex-friend Daniela... I just can't
deal with the pain of that... I wish I could be with him again.
Lessons learned:
* don't fall in love too fast.
* be careful about when u do fall in love... it could be hard on u if they don't like
u back or like someone else...
* love can feel like a dream but that may make it feel fake.
The history of this tradition: The full saying is actually, "Something Old,
Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, a Silver Sixpence in
Her Shoe," and first appeared in print in 1883. American brides often leave off
the last part of the saying, gathering only the first four items.
Something Old
is a symbol for her family, her past, and tradition.
Something New
is a symbol for her new life ahead of her.
Something Borrowed
is traditionally borrowed from another happy bride, and symbolizes borrowed
happiness.
Something Blue
is a symbol for fidelity, purity, and love. For Christian brides, it is also a symbol
of the Virgin Mary.

A Telephone Call
By Dorothy Parker
PLEASE, God, let him telephone me now. Dear God, let him call me now. I
won't ask anything else of You, truly I won't.
It isn't very much to ask. It would be so little to You, God, such a little, little thing.
Only let him telephone now. Please, God. Please, please, please.
If I didn't think about it, maybe the telephone might ring. Sometimes it does that.
If I could think of something else. If I could think of something else. Knobby if I
counted five. Counted hundred by fives, it might ring by that time. I’ll count
slowly. I won't cheat. And if it rings when I get to three hundred, I won't stop; I
won't answer it until I get to five hundred. Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five,
thirty, thirty-five, forty, forty-five, fifty... Oh, please ring. Please.

Colored People for authorizing the use of Dorothy Parker's work.

First, let me tell you where I’m coming from. Before I saw “The Lord of the
Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring”, I didn´t know the difference between an orc
and an elf, or what Middle-earth was in the middle of. This review is coming to
you from a Tolkien-freezone. I went into Peter Jackson’s movie – the first of a
trilogy – with no preconceptions. I came out, three hours later, sorry I’d have to
wait a year to see what happens next in Frodo Baggins’s battle against the Dark
Lord, Sauron, and thinking a trip to the bookstore to pick “The Two Towers”
might be in order. (…)
This is a violent movie – too violent for little ones – and there are moments
more “Matrix than medieval. Yet it transcends cheap thrills; we root for the
survival of our heroes with depth of feeling that may come to a surprise. The
movie keeps drawing you in deeper. Unlike so many overcooked action movies
these days, “Fellowship” doesn’t entertain you into a stupor. It leaves you with
your wits intact, hungry for more.
