I’m wondering if anyone else has had experience moving from a country where being of mixed heritage is more the norm, to a country (like the U.S.) where it almost always has to be explained?

I know that experience. I moved here from the UK which is in many ways much more multicultural. People are always curious about my accent, my looks, etc. Especially in Texas. I kind of like it. It sets me apart in ways I can handle, and is a pretty good conversation starter. Sometimes it gets a little boring, but on the whole, I love who I am and am happy to talk about it with anyone who’s interested!

I do as well. I grew up in Europe where there are many multicultural people. Then I moved to New York City where the city is filled with people of all kinds. I am asked once a day where I am from, but usually in a good way. I found many people who, like me, are combinations of everything imaginable. Even my girlfriend now is mixed.

My experience is a little different in that my parents moved here to the U.S. from India by way of Canada. I do get a sense that, although there is a lot of diversity in the U.S., the is a certain discomfort with it. What someone looks like and where they come from seems to be a big issue here. Even in larger cities like Chicago the question is often asked of me. Now that I’m married cross-culturally, we often are asked questions about where and how we met. I think the intent for the most-part is positive, though.

WHISTLER, British Columbia—The death of a 21-year-old luger from the Republic of Georgia cast a shadow over the start of the Winter Olympics Friday night.
As the organizers of the event and athletes from around the world prepared to attend the opening ceremonies only six hours later, Nodar Kumaritashvili lost control of his sled near the end of the luge course, his body slamming into an unprotected metal pole next to the track at the Whistler Sliding Centre. His sled remained in the course, which has been so fast in training rounds that some competitors have questioned its safety. A rescue helicopter arrived within moments, but attempts to save the athlete failed.

An Olympic hopeful from Georgia crashed and died while training for the luge event. WSJ’s Reed Albergotti reports from Vancouver.

The crash was only the latest setback to strike the Vancouver Games ahead of the Saturday start of competition. Extraordinarily warm and rainy weather from Vancouver all the way to Whistler, a mountain resort about 80 miles to the north, have forced the cancellation of training runs in discipline after discipline. On courses that are generally considered fast, those cancellations could increase the risk of crashes, because performing on unfamiliar terrain is dangerous.
Whether the weather affected the speed of the course was unclear. Wetness can increase the slickness of ice, but warm air can offset that effect by making it slower.
Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee, told a news conference that the “tragedy...clearly casts a shadow over these Games.” Mr. Kumaritashvili “had a dream to participate...and he lost his life.”

The German designer of the track said he was “eternally sorry” for the young man who died but said his tracks have a safe record, according to an interview with the German newspaper Sport Bild. “I’ve designed six tracks and no one has ever flown off it,” Udo Gurgel told the magazine. “The track is fast but <curve> 16 is a very long curve and normally not much can happen because by the end, the speed decreases sharply.”

In August of 2007, Ozzie published his do-it-yourself manuals online. News spread fast and soon tens of thousands of people from all over the planet were reading the books, building their very own Water4Gas systems - and most importantly - sending us their findings, success stories and improvement ideas.

As demand grew, so did the need for this technology. With fuel prices topping an astounding $5 per gallon in the US in mid 2008, Water4Gas took their message to the media with national radio shows, TV news reports and demonstration events occurring in many cities all over the country.

As you read this page, we have grown into a massive global movement, leading the entire water-fuel industry.

In their Technical Note Report E-9105 from May 1977, NASA says:
“Adding hydrogen to gasoline significantly increased flame speed and allows for a leaner air-fuel ratio. All emissions levels decreased at these leaner conditions. ...significantly increased flame speed and allows for a leaner air/fuel ratio. All emissions levels decreased at these leaner conditions.”

•...increases the flame speed at all gasoline air/fuel ratios, so engine operation at very lean mixtures is possible. <July>02]

The action taken to national disaster is awesome but it’s a damn shame that so many citizens take advantage of the negative situations.

I mean everytime there is an earthquake, a flood, an oil spill - there’s always a group of heartless people who rip off tax payers.

This is in response to reading that 4 of Oprah Winfreys “angels” got busted ripping off the system.  Shame on them!
