Paleontology Profiles: Stephanie Lukowski
What's up, intrepid readers!
Tara, here. It's time for another installment in our Paleontology Profiles series – and we've got another seriously awesome guest interview.
Steph Lukowski, paleontologist and all-around bad ass extraordinaire, took the time to answer a few questions for us on what it's like to work as a paleontologist.
Take a look at her great interview below! And, as always, let us know if you want to know more about Steph's work in the comments. We promise, she doesn't bite.
Hi Steph, thanks for interviewing with us! Tell us a little bit about yourself. What's your current job, and how did you become interested in paleontology/science/the natural world?
Thanks for inviting me to be a part of this blog! I grew up in the Chicago area near a forest preserve. As a child, I was fascinated with the natural world. My parents like to tell stories of how I used to bring frogs and snakes from our backyard into our house. I loved family trips to the Field Museum of Natural History. I could spend all day looking at the fossils on display, if my parents would let me. My favorite family vacations as a child involved camping or driving out to Montana for ski trips. I made my family visit the Museum of the Rockies every time we went through Bozeman.
I knew that I wanted to be a paleontologist from a very early age. I attended a religious school from kindergarten through 8th grade that taught creationism in science class. Despite being strongly warned against learning about evolution, I read everything on that subject that I could get my hands on—whether I could understand it at my grade level or not.
As soon as I was old enough, I began volunteering at the Field Museum. At first, I joined the education department, where I got to engage the public about all sorts of natural history topics—everything from owl pellets to fossils. Later, I joined the geology department as a volunteer, where I learned to prepare fossils.
I received a Bachelor's degree in geology from Tulane University in New Orleans, and my Master's degree in vertebrate paleontology from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. For my Master's research, I studied Paleocene-aged mammals (phenacodontids) from the Crazy Mountains Basin in Montana. As much as I enjoyed spending time in the lab measuring small teeth, I really loved the months we spent in the field searching for fossils in Montana and Wyoming.
Once I graduated, I became the Assistant Curator/Secondary Educator at the Mammoth Site of Hot Springs, South Dakota. It was a big change of pace to go from working on small mammals to giant Columbian mammoths!
Tara's Note: This is totally how we met, Steph! Readers, if you haven't been to the Mammoth Site, it's a great place near Mount Rushmore.
My job at the Mammoth Site was a lot of fun. I got to interact with the public and school groups visiting the site, work with volunteer field crews and interns in the summer, and care for the amazing fossils in the in situ bonebed.
Tara's Note: They are pretty amazing.
After I left the Mammoth Site, I spent several years working for environmental consulting firms as a paleontologist. I worked throughout the western United States searching for fossils in areas of proposed development and monitoring active construction sites. It was pretty neat to learn how roads, solar panels, wind turbines, oil pads and pipelines actually got made while salvaging fossils and collecting scientific data.
Later, I was lucky enough to be a part of the Panama Canal Project with the University of Florida and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. Not only was living in Panama for four months a bit of a culture shock, the challenges of doing field work in a tropical environment were quite different than what I had been used to up to that point. The heat and the afternoon rains shortened our field days, so we needed to learn to make the most out of the time we had. All the hard work was worth it, because we found a lot of great Miocene-aged fossils.
Tara's Note: Sounds like an amazing – and challenging – place to do field work. Super cool.
One of my favorite jobs was working for Bryce Canyon National Park as a GeoCorps intern. I got to spend a summer searching the entire Park for fossil resources—and I found a lot of invertebrate fossils in the process.
Tara's Note: That sounds like such a great experience! Bryce Canyon is gorgeous. I love the GeoCorps program, and would highly recommend it to our readers, too.
Currently, I am the paleontologist at the Ice Age Discovery Center in Snowmass Village, Colorado. My main focus is education and outreach; however, I also design exhibits, run our social media and website, help with fundraising, care for our live tiger salamanders, and keep track of the fossils and replicas on display.
Tara's Note: Whoa. Talk about wearing tons of hats. Rock on!
Describe your most interesting day so far, in your varied job experiences.
This is a tough one; every day is interesting when you're a paleontologist!
One of my favorite parts of my current job is interacting with the general public and school groups. Snowmass Village is the location of the finest, high elevation, Ice Age fossil site in the world. Thousands of pristine fossils were unearthed just a half mile away from the ski slopes. It's really fun educating people about the amazing fossil find in their own backyard.
I love seeing our visitors, both adults and kids, become excited when they learn about the changing ecosystems and the megafauna that once occupied this area. I also get to appear on our local TV channel, Aspen 82, every Saturday morning for a 5 minute segment on our fossils. I never thought I'd be doing outreach via live TV but it's a great way to get the word out!
What are your thoughts on blogging about science, in general?
I think blogging is a fantastic way to educate the public about science. Most people do not read scientific journals (and why would they?). Blogging can bridge the gap between academia and the general public in an engaging, relatable way. Not only that, but bloggers can give the people a glimpse into how science works and what goes on in a museum or lab setting.
What is our responsibility as scientists to ensure we're communicating to the general public?
It is incredibly important to ensure that the public is receiving accurate information regarding science. The media and politicians tend to sensationalize or politicize information that we as scientists may view as uncontroversial.
Tara's Note: Sad, but true.
Not every scientist is an effective communicator or has the time to do so. Those scientists who are able to communicate well to the general public should make the effort. However, we also need educators and trained science communicators who can bridge that gap. The more understandable, accurate information out there, the better.
Tara's Note: Totally agree. For our readers who are attending the 2017 meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology in Calgary, check out the paleontology education workshop that will be held there; it'll be a great forum for academic and museum folks to share ideas on how best to communicate our science, and for the public and K-12 educators to learn about science communication.
Whew! Okay, back to the questions!
Tell our readers about your favorite organisms. What sorts of questions do you want to answer, as a scientist?
This is another tough one! I've gotten to work with a lot of interesting fossil organisms throughout my career. Right now, I'll have to say ground sloths are my favorite. They are pretty strange animals.
Tara's Note: Totally my friend Dave's fave.
They have giant claws and simple, peg-like teeth that never stop growing. Even though they were not slow like their modern tree-sloth ancestors, ground sloths probably looked pretty awkward while moving about. They got quite large too. The Jefferson's ground sloth found in Snowmass would have been 10 feet tall when standing on their hind legs. Some of the species found in South America could be twice as big.
My favorite questions are those involving how organisms fit within their ecosystems and how ecosystems adapt to changing climates.
Any hobbies beyond the realm of science? Share them with us!
I love being outdoors: hiking, camping, white water rafting, skiing, visiting hot springs, etc.
When, I'm not being active outdoors, you can find me practicing yoga, reading, or knitting while watching sci-fi or horror movies and shows. Right now, I'm also teaching myself to speak Polish.
Additionally, I am an avid traveler. So far, I've visited every continent with the exception of Australia and Antarctica. I'm always planning my next adventure.
What would you recommend to young people who are interested in paleontology, and want to get more hands-on experience while they're in high school or younger?
Volunteering at the Field Museum was a great experience for me as a high school student. If you are lucky enough to live near a natural history museum, look into volunteering opportunities.
Tara's Note: 100% agreed!
It's a great way to interact with museum staff and learn about the inner-workings of a museum. A number of museums also offer opportunities to participate in field work as a volunteer either for free or for a small fee to cover costs. If you are unable to do either of those things, read as much as you can about paleontology, geology, biology, and ecology. Work hard in school, especially in math and science. Also, be on the lookout for paleontologists giving talks that are open to the public in your area. Local fossil clubs can be great resources too.
Steph, thank you SO much for taking the time to chat with us about your awesome career experiences. It's so great to catch up with you!

A guy kissed me on the lips(obviously) and he is NOT my boyfriend I told my boyfriend and him and the guy kissed me got in a physical fight they started bringing me into it too. They started pulling on each arm, acting like a bunch of 5 year olds! What do I do?
Kissed by a guy
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
Well if you're typing this, congratulations, you made it out with both your arms. You make it sound like this other guy forced himself on you, in which case your boyfriend's reaction to beat up the other guy is not a surprising one. Keep your distance from this other guy as much as you can and things will clear up eventually.00|00|0
What Girls Said 1
Promise your boyfriend that it will never happen again, and that you still care about him, obviously more than you care about the other guy. Also, set the guy straight. He shouldn't have done that, clearly, but ask him what gave him the idea that you liked him. I don't blame your boyfriend for getting into a fight with that guy. Honestly, I'd probably at least slap a girl for kissing my man (doesn't make it right, though).11|00|0

Know Your Enemy
Where does anyone in the 21st century turn to for information? The Internet, of course. Which takes us back to where we left off at the end of my last post. Hopeless, in more pain every day than anyone should have to endure, and looking for support from people who could relate to what I was going through. And hopefully, other women who had gone through a special type of surgery called excision.
In one particularly large and seemingly reputable Facebook group, the word "excision" and a place called the Center for Endometriosis Care caught my eye. These women were claiming to have had surgery with a specialist who could perform this excision thing and they were pain free or almost pain free quite a ways out from surgery! I had to know more. So I once again sought the great and powerful
Oz Google.
I learned there are several ways of treating endometriosis out there, most of which involve superficial methods of simply burning off the surface of endometriosis lesions (ablation, coagulation, and fulguration are all terms you might hear in reference to this.) These methods leave endometriosis cells underneath the burned-off lesion. This is why when using these methods, endo will often grow back in the same places over and over again. As a result, women need surgery after surgery. As such, these methods result in anywhere from a 40-100% recurrence rate of endometriosis, even within as soon as a year after surgery (or about 2 months, in my case).
Now think about that. If a physician told you, "We're going to take you to the OR and do this surgery, but there's about a 90% chance it won't work", would you want that surgery performed on you? I certainly wouldn't. But due to a lack of education surrounding endometriosis and its proper treatment, millions of women are being subjected to these subpar treatments at the hands of physicians who have no business treating the disease.
Thankfully, there exists a surgical method called excision, which is a type of surgery it has been said (anecdotally) less than 100 specialists in the United States are able to perform. Excision is complete resection of endometriosis lesions, cutting around them and under them to get clean margins and remove ALL endometriosis cells.
But it is by no means a simple procedure. Endometriosis can show up virtually anywhere: peritoneum, pelvic ligaments, ovaries, Fallopian tubes, uterus, rectum, bowel, bladder, appendix, even the diaphragm and lungs can be involved. Think cancer, but everywhere. And no endo is created equal; the lesions can appear blue, black, red, white, yellow, clear, you name it, all within the same patient and can be as tiny as grains of sand. Imagine trying to find all that with the tiny light of a laparoscope.
A surgeon who is going to treat endometriosis completely must be prepared to operate across multiple organ systems, operate on extremely challenging disease presentations in those organ systems, do it with as little collateral damage as possible, and do it while enduring criticism from those physicians who do not understand endometriosis or pelvic pain's effect on women. This is a huge challenge that very few surgeons are willing to take on or should try to take on. Yet meeting this challenge is what an endometriosis surgeon must do. Few are called and even fewer are chosen.
~Dr. David Redwine, excision pioneer
Center for Endometriosis Care
I remained skeptical of this Center for Endometriosis Care (CEC) place I was reading so much about. It seemed too good to be true. That is, until completely by chance, I stumbled across a YouTube documentary specifically about excision surgery that featured the CEC. The words of then-medical director Dr. Albee brought me to tears: "Don't give up the fight. Hang in there." I instantly knew that whatever it took, even paying out of pocket, I would get to Atlanta to have excision surgery at the CEC.
Once I had convinced my family that seeking a second opinion 700 miles away was a good idea, I registered with the CEC and filled out the necessary paperwork. I mailed it to Atlanta with trepidation, not knowing if I would be accepted by this wonderful Dr. Sinervo I had heard about, the current medical director of the CEC.
Less than 2 weeks later, at the beginning of September 2014, I found myself staring at an unfamiliar area code as my cell phone rang. Accidentally letting it go to voice mail, I nearly hit the floor when I heard Dr. Sinervo's voice in the voicemail: "I think we can help you." I immediately called back and briefly spoke with him, going through what procedures he thought would benefit me. As soon as we finished the call, I started sobbing with relief. Even my husband David got some tear action going as we realized that I was going to get help from undoubtedly one of the best excisionists in the world.
My surgery was set for October 29, 2014, the day after my 29th birthday. The long wait was a trying time. I made a countdown calendar and celebrated each shift I finished, knowing I was getting closer and closer. All the while I was still in significant pain, tethered to my heating pad.
It was also an emotionally difficult time. I was completely useless all summer and fall. Now, I will be the first to admit that I am on many occasions a lazy person. But when it got to the point that clean laundry would just sit in the laundry baskets because I was hurting too much to fold it and put it away? I could barely do the smallest task. But it helped to know that everyone was looking forward to the surgery as much as I was. My coworkers would ask on an almost daily basis, "How many days until Atlanta?" (As they had also previously repeatedly asked "Have you mailed in your records yet?" and "Have you heard from Atlanta yet?")
Journey to Atlanta
Finally, very early in the morning on October 28th, we were on our way to the airport for a 6:00 AM flight to Atlanta. (I jokingly stated to David I hadn't been up at 2:30 AM on this day since the day I was born.) Once we arrived in Atlanta, we waited for rush hour to pass before getting our rental car. Upon doing an early check-in at the hotel, we briefly went shopping for foods I could eat, such as chicken broth and apple juice, in preparation for the bowel prep I had to do that afternoon.
Finally it was time for my pre-op appointment at the CEC office, a place where you instantly feel loved and cared for by all the staff. It was wonderful and reassuring to finally meet Dr. Sinervo. He explained how he anticipated my surgery would go and what each procedure entailed. I was going to have excision of endometriosis, a cystoscopy to check for interstitial cystitis, a hysteroscopy to check my uterus, chromotubation to check for blockages in my Fallopian tubes, and a presacral neurectomy to quell my lower back pain. In addition, I would be given platelet-rich plasma, which is the plasma part of your own blood (after being drawn and centrifuged) used to irrigate the surgical areas to promote faster healing.
Following our chat was a physical exam, which this kind man made as gentle as possible (helped by the presence of the incomparable nurse DeeDee). He determined at the time that I also had mild pelvic floor dysfunction. Then it was time to go back to the hotel to start the dreaded bowel prep. I told everyone not to worry; that I was going to have such a fantastic party on my birthday that day that I would be spending all night on the toilet!
Indeed, the bowel prep was decidedly one of the more unpleasant experiences I've had in life. It didn't take long for the fun to begin. But I was able to occupy myself on the potty with entertainment news from Marvel Studios ("Captain America 3 IS Civil War? And the next Avengers movie will be 2 MOVIES?! Oh happy day!") and national news about the Ebola outbreak (and guess where I was? Atlanta. Yes.) I was even able to squeeze in a shower. But things got really bad after midnight. No more sleep for me!
But I was so close. Just a few more hours and I would be in the hands of a highly skilled surgeon who was going to fix me. I just had to make it a few more hours. Continue reading my story in The Gold Standard.

The United State is facing an epidemic of fatal drug overdoses due to the use of prescription opioids as painkillers. In the US in 2015, there were over 20,000 overdose deaths related to prescription pain relievers, and 12,990 overdose deaths related to heroin. Four in five new heroin users started out misusing prescription painkillers. Now, researchers may have found an alternative to opioids in the venom of the royal cone snail, a mollusk found in shallow waters from the Caribbean to the Brazilian coast.
The royal cone snail, known scientifically as Conus regius, has a fish-immobilizing sting that can be venomous enough to be potentially fatal to humans. The chemical mix in the venom has been of interest to scientists because of its pain blocking characteristics. One compound in the venom, Rg1A, has been found to act very differently from opioids. Unlike opioids which dull the brain's awareness of pain, and are dangerously addictive, Rg1A acts on the pain receptors in the body itself, dulling the pain at its source. The compound also has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects.
J. Michael McIntosh, professor of psychiatry at the University of Utah Health Sciences, told the BBC : "What is particularly exciting about these results is the aspect of prevention. Once chronic pain has developed, it is difficult to treat," he said. "This compound offers a potential new pathway to prevent pain from developing in the first place and offer a new therapy to patients who have run out of options."
Researchers at Kineta, an eight-year-old Seattle-based biotech company, may be on the way to creating a drug based on the snail venom compound that would have the pain-killing qualities of opioids but without the "brain calming" and addictive qualities. Testing in rats has shown that the experimental compound can remain effective for as long as 72 hours. Testing the drug on humans is expected to begin next year.

LIGHT– the state-of-the-art nightclub by Cirque du Soleil and The Light Group– will open at Mandalay Bay the weekend of April 26 with headliners Nicky Romero and Axwell. On Friday, April 26, LIGHT resident DJ Nicky Romero will be joined by Clockwork and Andy Caldwell. On Saturday, April 27, Axwell will embark on his inaugural Las Vegas residency as he takes over LIGHT with Hook N Sling. The only thing weird about the video below is the track they choose for it... [youtube id="rLP-2xoC3AU" width="620" height="360"] LIGHT, the first-ever nightclub turned on by Cirque du Soleil, will merge cutting-edge creativity with incredible music to produce a new kind of nightlife experience. Headlining DJs and performers will lead the charge, coupled with exclusively built performance elements and visuals, innovative video mapping, lighting, sound and special effects, as well as avant-garde costumes and unique choreography imagined by Cirque du Soleil. "Fusing the world's top DJ talent with the Cirque du Soleil experience was a career highlight for me and I cannot wait to start to see these shows begin," says LIGHT Music and Marketing Director Amy Thomson. Along with having an amazing opening line-up, visitors to LIGHT will always have the best in DJ entertainment as LIGHT has confirmed partnerships with world-renowned DJs including Skrillex, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, Alesso, Baauer, Nicky Romero, Thomas Gold, A-Trak, Mat Zo and Otto Knows as well as Alvin Risk, Andy Caldwell, Bassjackers, Carl Kennedy, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Hook N Sling, Sebastien Drums, Stafford Brothers and Steve Powers. This all-star lineup of resident musicians at LIGHT continues to break boundaries with the recent addition of Krewella. Hailing from Chicago, the party-rocking electro trio made up of Jahan Yousaf, Yasmine Yousaf and Kris "Rain Man" Trindl are just heating up on the world's electronic music circuit with "Alive," their current hit which spent the last 23 weeks on the Billboard Dance/Mix airplay charts. Krewella will begin their residency at LIGHT on May 1, with eight performances planned for 2013. Designed as an experience to play with your senses, LIGHT will offer far more than the traditional nightclub. Upon arriving at LIGHT, guests enter the realm of the unknown, as everyone in the club is part of the show. The chic, fashion-forward 38,000-square-foot venue featuring state-of-the-art production, theatrics, and, of course, world-renowned DJs and performers will turn on a new kind of passion and creativity, redefining a "night out" and creating a unique, memorable event each night. LIGHT's Twitter followers will be provided a unique opportunity to take part in the official presale starting Tuesday, March 26. Utilizing the social media channel, #TicketTuesday will feature contests each week where guests who buy tickets and tweet the hashtag can win a meet and greet with one of the DJs, a complimentary bottle or dinner at one of The Light Group's signature restaurants at Mandalay Bay and other amazing prizes.

While we are under parental care we are driven to learn behaviours that give us the best chance of survival. It's a very primitive drive based on the caveman days where if our parents didn't bond with us we would die.
These days it's more complex of course.
As a therapist and a person who experienced an abusive childhood, I am
very aware how easy it is to screw up our kids – without even trying! I
certainly know that I was very worried about the effect my upbringing
would have when I had to be a parent myself.
There is no right or wrong answer to parenting. We all do our best. It's just that sometimes we aren't aware of the consequences of what we do.
Through my role as a Cognitive Hypnotherapist I get to see the consequences.
In this course what I have tried to do is give you some simple and practical techniques to bring up your kids in a way that makes them resilient enough to cope with whatever life throws at them
What I hope is that through these techniques you can do as much as possible to stop your kids ending up on a couch to seek help from someone like me one day!
Click here to take the course online
This course is designed to help you with simple techniques to help you study more effectively, as well as apply that knowledge in test conditions.
It also covers some ideas on how to overcome nerves that are often associated with being tested.
The course is applicable to all ages.
The course uses NLP and Cognitive Hypnotherapy techniques.

Do you struggle to manage your weight? Does going to a therapist seem too much (either financially or personally)?
Getting to the size you want is about so much more than calories in versus calories out. Nobody wants to lose weight so they can carry a set of scales around with them, throw them on the ground, and declare to people what their weight is!
If it was a simple cognitive process everyone would be the weight and size they want to be.
I am sure you have tried to lose weight in the past. I am sure you have been successful too. And then, when you took your eye off the ball, or life got in the way, you put it all back on - and some.
This programme is to help you benefit from the approach I use 1-1 with my clients, to drive a permanent change in your relationship with yourself and with food. Through this I will hold your hand and support you as I empower you to make changes to your thoughts, behaviours and habits. This programme will give you the freedom to be you, without having to follow diets and rules again.
This programme will involve regular tasks, supported by discussion, information and MP3 downloads. It should take 3 months to fully complete the programme, but you can stay engaged as long as you want.

Alright, lets keep this simple.
Rule 1: Follow and uphold the community guidelines. If you haven't read them yet, you can find them up-top right next to the Home link, or you can check it out here.
Rule 2: Try to keep one liners to a minimum. Likewise, don't have fuck-long posts. Me and the other admins aren't gonna suffer through your book-sized theses of how your character picks up a rock just because you think it will reward you lots of Skro Energy. Keep it simple- not to simple- but simple.
Rule 3: Don't god mod or power play. God modding is when your character is literally unbeatable. Power playing is auto-hitting. We put a system in place so you don't do these, but just to be sure, I'm saying it here.
Rule 4: Have fun!
Rule 5: If you're inexperienced, don't sweat it. The community is here to help you, even if that comes with a little critique. We're happy this is your starting point, and want you to become a wonderful writer while you're here!

I just received the Samsung Universal Multimedia Desktop dock for my Galaxy Nexus. While it does charge the phone, and the phone knows its been put into a dock, it refuses to switch the audio output though the dock connected speakers.
Ive even tryed downloading a program to automatically switch it, but it doesn't work either.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the dock audio output to work?
[edit] Also, when i goto the sound settings, the Audio under Dock remainds disabled, even when docked, but the insert sound option works.
Digging into it, i found another poster with the same issue on the google. His discription is more detailed than mine, and has the same problem. Reading though his, it seems to be an issue with the phone or OS and not the dock.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Verizon, i515) running stock 4.2.2. I also have a Samsung Galaxy Multimedia Dock (http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cel...EDD-D200BEGSTA)
When I insert the Nexus into the dock, I want to use the Audio line out to run an external speaker. But that option doesn't seem to exist on the phone OS.
In earlier versions of Android (2.3 for instance), the documentation says when you insert the device into a dock, you have the option of enabling the audio on the line out port. (http://support.google.com/android/bi...&answer=168598)
I have daydream enabled and daydream starts, so the device is aware it is docked. While docked, I go to settings - sound and look at the Dock settings (there are only two). Audio (grayed out) and Dock Insert Sound.
When I start some music, the sound plays from the Nexus internal speakers.
Is there a way to enable the audio to play out the line out port of this dock? The audio must be redirected to the audio line out through the Nexus USB charging connector.

The United States imposed sanctions on Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security on Thursday, while semi-official state media reported that a political official of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) had again threatened that Iran will attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz. At the same time, however, the IRGC official also emphasized the need for a "calm atmosphere." Similarly, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe expressed confidence that Iran is beginning to open up.
Iran and the United States have for years been locked in a cycle of crises separated by periods of comparative calm and conciliation; this series of contradictory developments in a single day is thus hardly unprecedented. The same is true of contradictory developments between the United States and Afghanistan, or between Washington and Moscow. While the differences between each of these cases are profound, Stratfor has analyzed the talks between these relevant parties for a common reason: Despite the potential for intensifying conflict or active hostilities, not one of these cases can be resolved using military force at an acceptable cost.
Put another way, the risk, expense and commitment of attempting to impose one's will on the other, whether by physical destruction of their means to resist or by psychological destruction of their will to resist, is daunting and perhaps futile. The players in each case would already be partners or allies if they shared significant common ground with one another. In Washington's dealings vis-a-vis Tehran, the Afghan Taliban and Moscow, the players involved all have an incentive to reach an intermediate solution.
This creates an incentive for political accommodation and a negotiated settlement that allows each side to focus its resources and efforts elsewhere. In analyzing this process, Stratfor makes a key distinction between negotiations and talks. To say parties are negotiating indicates an active debate is ongoing over specific provisions as a means to move toward a serious settlement; talks are the process by which parties agree to sit down to those negotiations. These are dynamic processes in which each side attempts to turn up the pressure on its adversary while maximizing the leverage (and, very significantly, the perception) of its own position. This invariably leads to posturing and threats to walk away from the negotiating table. It may even take place amid active hostilities. For instance, an aggressive clandestine war is raging between Iran on one side and Israel and the United States on the other. Meanwhile, the United States and its allies are overtly waging war on the Afghan Taliban. And as Stratfor has long argued, the United States and Russia are engaged in a serious Cold War.
The Intersection of Talks and Conflict
Once negotiations have been initiated in earnest, lightening the pressure on one's opponent can have dire consequences on one's negotiating position, much like a poker or chess player revealing distress. For example, one cannot properly understand the Linebacker I and Linebacker II bombing campaigns of Vietnam in late 1972 without acknowledging the pressing American desire for a negotiated settlement.
Sitting down at the negotiating table does not guarantee a successful settlement in international affairs any more than it would in business. The shooting does not stop the moment two sides enter into negotiations, nor do backchannel discussions and the building of common understandings necessarily move into the public sphere with any immediacy. For example, the ongoing clandestine sabotage and assassination campaign targeting Iran's nuclear efforts neither indicates the nonexistence or immediate end of informal talks toward negotiations nor portends the imminent outbreak of outright and overt hostilities. Conflicts continue — in Iran, Afghanistan and, at least in rhetoric, between the United States and Russia — but the incentives for compromise remain.
By the time then-U.S. President Richard Nixon arrived in China in 1972 (months before the Linebacker operations), the proverbial deal was already done. This is not to say that any deal of that magnitude between the United States and Iran or the United States and Russia — much less in the enormously complex question of Afghanistan between the United States and the Afghan Taliban, the Afghan government, Pakistan, Iran and others — is either imminent or certain. It is anything but. However, in each case there are profound incentives on each side for some sort of settlement. And while contradictory developments can certainly indicate chaos, they hardly preclude serious talks.
The Structure of Current Talks
There is a balanced framework for talks in each case. Tehran's ability to hold global oil prices hostage amid a global economic crisis is balanced by fairly basic American requirements: the free, steady flow of energy from the Persian Gulf and some semblance of a balance of power in the region. In Afghanistan, the United States is extracting its forces, and does not want to ever return in large numbers. Washington's basic requirement is that the Taliban, the Karzai regime and Pakistan reject any serious or sustained support for transnational jihad. Moscow is in a moment of disproportionate power, given the American logistical reliance on Russia to sustain the war in Afghanistan and Washington's reticence to spark another overt confrontation with Russia in the near term. But Russia also has profound and intensifying internal challenges – it is in its interest to come to an understanding with the United States soon, before American power can coalesce and rationalize in a post-Iraq and Afghan war world.
Tensions and even outright hostilities have historically been a poor indicator of the status or timeline of political accommodation. And 2012 has opened with too many reciprocal signals between the United States and Iran and with regards to the Afghan Taliban (U.S.-Russian relations are on a longer timeline) to completely ignore.

Siegfried and Roy: The Night of the Tiger Attack
For Siegfried & Roy, the master illusionists whose mix of glitz, charm, and white tiger magic symbolizes the thrill of Las Vegas, October 3, 2003, started out as a day of celebration and ended as a night of terror.
At his lavish 59th birthday party in the Mirage Hotel theater that bears the duo's name, Roy Horn, the dark-haired half of the team, ushered in the early hours of the morning with 500 friends and fellow entertainers. He had spent the evening table-hopping and dancing, and at midnight raised a glass to his partner, Siegfried Fischbacher, in celebration of their 44 years together.
"He was in great spirits," remembers impersonator Frank Merino, an invited guest. "All of his friends were kidding around with him, and he was making jokes and being very playful." One of the jibes was about his age and eventual retirement.
"I'll retire only when I can't do it anymore," Roy shot back in his heavy German accent, alluding to the physical strength necessary to swing on ropes 30 feet above the audience and handle the 600-pound tigers that were the centerpiece of the act. To a man so fit and lithe, that day seemed a long way off. "It is incredibly dangerous, and we took Roy, this superman, for granted all of these years," says fellow Vegas magician Lance Burton.
But less than 24 hours later, Roy lay near death in the trauma unit of University Medical Center. Even in a town famous for risky wagers, few were betting he would survive the night. In 30,000 perfectly timed shows with elephants, lions, tigers, cheetahs, and sharp-beaked macaws, Siegfried & Roy had never had a serious mishap. Their act, seen by some 400,000 people each year, was a pastiche of Vegas razzle-dazzle: daredevil theatrics, illusions and, of course, animals.
The lions and tigers were Roy's domain, and his ability to communicate with them was marvelous and mysterious at the same time. Roy didn't so much train the animals as bond with them through a technique he called "affection conditioning," raising tiger cubs from birth and sleeping with them until they were a year old. "When an animal gives you its trust," Roy had said, "you feel like you have been given the most beautiful gift in the world."
But on the night of October 3, that trust was broken. Forty-five minutes into the show, at about 8:15 p.m., Roy led out Montecore, a seven-year-old white tiger born in Guadalajara, Mexico. The 380-pound cat became distracted by someone in the 1,500- member crowd and broke his routine, straying toward the edge of the stage. With no barrier protecting the audience, Roy leapt to put himself between Montecore and the front row, only a few feet away. The tiger kept coming. Roy gave him a command to lie down, and Montecore refused, gripping the trainer's right wrist with his paw.
"He lost the chain [around the tiger's neck] and grabbed for it, but couldn't get it," says Tony Cohen, a Miami tourist who was sitting ten yards from the stage. With his free hand holding a wireless microphone, Roy tried repeatedly tapping Montecore on the head, the sound reverberating through the theater. "Release!" Roy commanded the tiger. "Release!"
Content continues below ad
Montecore relaxed his grip, but Roy had been straining to pull away, and fell backward over the tiger's leg. In an instant, Montecore was on top of him, clamping his powerful jaws around Roy's neck. Now Siegfried, standing nearby, ran across the stage yelling, "No, no, no!" But the tiger was resolute, and dragged his master 30 feet offstage "literally like a rag doll," as another witness recalls.
A couple of gasps went up in the crowd, though many people thought the incident was part of the act. "It wasn't like he grabbed him viciously," says audience member Andrew Cushman. "He just grabbed him by the throat and walked offstage."
Siegfried would later say that Roy had fallen ill from the effects of blood pressure pills; Montecore, he insisted, realized something was wrong and was only trying to protect Roy. But animal behaviorists put little stock into that notion. They say it's more likely that Montecore was on his way to delivering a killing bite, much as a tiger in the wild would bring down an antelope.
"They're predators, so who can really know what goes on in their minds?" says Kay Rosaire, who runs the Big Cat Encounter, a show near Sarasota, Florida. "Even though they're raised in captivity and they love us, sometimes their natural instincts just take over."

I have seen over the last 20 years impressive, positive gains on the part of living-apart parents who have attended Solutions For Families' prize winning Co-parenting program. When I get feedback from my clients who I've referred to Solutions for Families, or recommended to the court that they do so, I always hear positive feedback. Dr. Herold and his co-instructors have user-friendly, down to earth ways of teaching — which help to make the classes enjoyable. I consider it essential for co-parents to attend Co-parenting classes together. In my opinion, the 'workshop' approach provides the only tried and true way for co-parents to develop and master the skills required for parents to give their children the gift of 'parenting together yet apart.' They key to reaching that point, and moving past conflict harmful to children and their parents alike, is developing and mastering the skills and understandings needed to put children first. I can think of no greater gift parents living apart can give their children.

Specialist in High Conflict Family Interventions and
Court-ordered Child Custody Evaluations
The Course [Co-parenting] is exactly what we needed to get on the right track and stay on it. The class material is extremely well put together. It covers just about any issue you may encounter and gives the strategies and methods to navigate through it with ease. The interactive aspect of the class was great and encouraging and pushed us to think outside ourselves and focus on our children (which we don't always realize we neglect to do) … We are still a single [family] unit, just in different locations. Our family's future is bright and endless.
R. N., Family Law Paralegal
Graduate of Co-parenting
I can't say enough good things about Les Herold and the help he gave to the KidsFirst Center in starting our KidsFirst Program for Parents in High Conflict.
I first heard Les speak at an AFCC conference in Tucson, Arizona. He was leading a workshop about a program he had developed in California, working with parents who had been in continued high conflict. I was extremely impressed with his presentation and his program (insert correct program name).
When I returned home to Maine I called him several times for guidance and advice over the telephone, as we struggled to develop our own program. Les was so helpful and generous with his time, sharing valuable information that he had learned while working with these challenging families. He was instrumental in helping us create our successful nine week program here in Maine. Les is a true "collaborator" and one who cares passionately about the impact of divorce on kids.

Dr. Herold has donated numerous hours of his time on weekdays and weekends in trying to resolve our family matters. His home visits to my house and my son's [other] home were very insightful and beneficial. He has provided numerous suggestions, ideas and plans to help my son's mom and me become better co-parents. It has had a profound effect on my life.
D. J., Probation Officer
Graduate of Co-parenting and ongoing participant in
Advanced Co-parenting
I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Les Herold as a parent education consultant. He was a valuable resource for ideas and techniques for creating our parent education programs for adult learners. He worked closely with us to determine our focus, goals and methods for making the sessions dynamic, relevant and educational. The materials we licensed and customized resulted in an exciting, innovative and successful program that increased parents' awareness of the role of communication in co-parenting after separation, and demonstrated several techniques for child-centered cooperation and problem solving.
Kathleen Bird
Director, Office of Dispute Resolution
Dr. Herold, one of the country's leaders in the divorce education field, has a wealth of clinical experience and insight into the needs of divorcing families. He has developed brilliant strategies that move parents to make substantial changes quickly. I have also been impressed by his additions to my online Children in the Middle co-parenting course. It has made the course very powerful.

Director of the Center for Divorce Education (Athens, Ohio)
Author of What About the Children, A Guide for Divorced/Separated and Divorcing Parents (6th Edition), Children in the Middle (text, video and on-line), Parenting Wisely, After the Storm
(For details, go to www.divorce-education.com)
Dr. Herold's co-parenting program is the answer to the problems of thousands of families! Parents who live apart because of divorce, separation, or because they never married but have a child together, have the chance to give the gift of peace to the son or daughter they love. By simply attending the classes, learning the skills and practicing better ways of communicating, mothers and fathers can literally free their children of suffering caused by parental strife and discord.
The curriculum of Dr. Herold's healing program has three wonderful facets I call secret ingredients. The first ingredient is hope. Moms and Dads who lose their marriage don't have to lose their important roles with their children, because with this program they learn a collaborative approach. By re-visiting the age old skills of asking politely for what they want and remembering to say thank-you, parents feel invigorated by the end of the co-parenting program, assured that they can hear and respond to each other.
The second special ingredient discovered by Dr. Herold is draw. Even shy and insecure mothers and fathers can learn the skills of this program, because the slow and gradual method makes it so easy for them to take part. But Dr. Herold's third and almost magical ingredient is influence. Separated parents always want and need ways to make an impact on the other parent's behavior, and in this program they learn gentle but powerful tools for shaping the way they work together. Once "graduation day" has arrived, parents who complete the course know for sure that they can make a positive difference for their children, and they know exactly how to do it.
I wish all parents who live apart could take advantage of this marvelous resource!

Old 97's
Performing "Too Far To Care" and more, Via Audio
Brooklyn Bowl
61 Wythe Avenue
Brooklyn, NY, 11249
Doors 6:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
The Old 97's have confirmed the April 29, 2014 release of their new album and ATO debut, 'Most Messed Up' -- a revealing, 12-track meditation on 20 years in music that finds them at their raucous, boozy best. It's "a rock opera, a way-off Broadway musical about a musician's life, loves and lubrication," says music critic Bill Flanagan. Recorded in Austin and produced by Salim Nourallah, 'Most Messed Up' also features guest appearances by Tommy Stinson (The Replacements, Guns N' Roses) and Jon Rauhouse (Neko Case) on lap-steel.
Titles like "Wasted," "Intervention," "Wheels Off," "Let's Get Drunk & Get It On," and "Most Messed Up" hint at the kind of narrators frontman Rhett Miller likes to inhabit -- men who possess an appetite for indulgence and won't let a few bad decisions get in the way of a good story. The magic in Miller's songwriting lies in the depth that he lends his characters. Upon closer inspection, the hard partying and endless pursuit of a good time often reveals itself to be a Band-Aid covering up deeper wounds and emotional scars. "There's a lot of darkness hidden in this record," Miller explains.
The Old 97's emerged from Dallas twenty years ago at the forefront of a musical movement blending rootsy, country-influenced songwriting with punk rock energy. 'Most Messed Up' follows their recent two-volume set, 'The Grand Theatre,' which found the band as "lifers writing for keeps," according to Rolling Stone, and their 2013 EP featuring Waylon Jennings, 'Old 97's & Waylon Jennings.'
Two years after the release of their critically-acclaimed album Say Something, Brooklyn's indie pop quartet Via Audio releases their sophomore opus, Animalore, a melting pot collection of eccentric sounds- songs infused with fairy tales, folklore, science fiction, romance, seduction, and adventure.
Via Audio was formed in 2003 in between classes at the infamous Berklee College of Music in Boston. After releasing a self-titled EP on the small independent Kill Normal Records in 2004, the band first garnered attention when Death Cab for Cutie's guitarist Chris Walla dubbed them his "new favorite band," in his column for Under the Radar Magazine.
They soon after caught the attention of Spoon drummer Jim Eno, who would become their longtime producer, collaborator and comrade. With Eno's help behind the board, Via Audio released their first full-length, Say Something, in 2007 on California-based indie label Sidecho Records. Pitchfork Media described Say Something as having "such a beautiful gloss over everything that it sticks, hurts, and feels delicious" and the album received accolades from Spin, Nylon, Under the Radar, Alternative Press, theTripwire, and Stereogum, among others. The band has since toured the U.S. and Japan alongside the likes of Spoon, White Rabbits, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Ha Ha Tonka, and Modern Skirts, making appearances at the South By Southwest, Monolith, and CMJ festivals.
Shutting themselves up again in Eno's Austin, Texas home studio in 2009, the group tackled their latest songbook- the lo-fi electronics of "Digital," the soul-infused funk of "Goldrush," the ethereal surf-lament of "Wanted," the glittery R&B pop of "Babies"- as Eno carefully and artfully crafted different sonic palettes for each unique song on Animalore. The result is an album that plays like a pop-up book for adults, bursting with vivid colors and secret corridors at the turn of every page.

Yesterday afternoon I attended a performance of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" at the Barrymore Theatre. The cast of 14, directed by Mike Nichols, was headlined by Philip Seymour Hoffman (Willy Loman), Linda Emond (Linda Loman) and Andrew Garfield (Biff Loman).
The anticipation of a crowd of eager theatre-goers as they entered the theater is something I tried to capture in a video, uploaded here. What I cannot adequately capture is the general force and impact of the production we saw.
Instead, here are particular things that struck me:
Numbers. Someone could write an entire essay on the use and meaning of numbers in "Death of a Salesman." Years, ages, dimensions, limits, prices and payments — the script is chock-full of them. The characters measure their lives with numbers. From the early flashback scene in which Linda recites the household bills needing to be paid (16 dollars on the refrigerator, nine-sixty for the washing machine, three and a half on the vacuum), to the later scene when Willy's neighbor Charley lends him support (the usual 50 dollars plus, this time, 110 to pay for insurance), all the way through to an ending where we find Willy wondering over his life "ringing up a zero," you can hardly catch your breath before some new numbers are announced, debated, corrected, and chewed over some more. There are the sinking salary requests made by Willy as he pleads with Howard to keep him on the payroll after he's "put 34 years into this firm." Willy starts at 65 dollars a week ("I don't need much any more"), then lowers himself to 50 ("all I need to set my table"), then bottoms out at a beggarly 40 ("that's all I'd need"). There are Linda's imprecise references to Willy's age (is he 60 or 63?); Ben repeating the limits of his jungle adventure (17 when he walked in, 21 when he walked out); and Willy's precise recollection of lumber stolen for a home improvement project (those beautiful 2-by-10s). We hear of Biff's failing math grade of 61, just 4 points way from passing — those 4 points something Willy declares he'll gain for his son. Then a circular debate over how much of a loan Biff should request from Bill Oliver (10 thousand? 15 thousand?). There's Linda's mention of their 25-year home mortgage (she's compelled to note that Biff was just 9 when they bought the house). Amid this onslaught of figures, our apprehension grows. Are numbers for Americans the preferred way to follow and ultimately judge a life?
Insurance. When, in order to aid his elder son, Willy strikes a bargain with death — twenty thousand dollars from an insurance policy (those numbers again!) — there is an echo of the climactic plot device in Clifford Odets' "Awake and Sing," in which a no longer useful man similarly chooses a disguised suicide to bankroll the future of his grandson.
Athletics. How fine and assuring it was to be an audience member watching Hoffman, Garfield and Finn Wittrock (who played Hap Loman) in an early flashback scene as they tossed a football around, between stage left and stage right, in a precise, easy manner.
Comedy 1. There were some awkward bursts of laughter from the audience, as when Willy repeatedly berates Linda when she tries to join in the family conversations. His bullying putdowns got laughs that were scarily undeserved. I wonder whether this was simply embarrassed laughter from otherwise psychologically astute adults who were already on to (and forgiving of) Willy's gross and contradictory ways? I'm not sure. I think another factor might be our collective exposure to years of TV situation comedies where belittling is a staple, where similar putdowns are accompanied by canned laughter. The two times when Hap interjected his inapposite news — "I'm getting married, Pop!" — the audience roared with laughter. Were some among us hearing the voice of TV's womanizing Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc), interrupting the banter of his Friends with yet another impossible statement?
Comedy 2. Yet how truly funny Miller can be, funny intentionally and on his terms, as in the restaurant scene in which the headwaiter, Stanley (Glenn Fleshler), tosses out a handful of lines that anticipate Neil Simon.
Blocking. For this production Nichols resurrected the set designed by Jo Mielziner for the original 1949 production. His direction featured blocking that places an emphasis on the actors' profiles, from our viewing perspective. I'm guessing this was dictated by the set design, but I wonder whether it also is a borrowing from Nichols' film direction. There are superb details. The last time we see Willy he is in his hoped-for garden. Centered down-stage, he looks straight ahead into the audience, talking not to himself (remember Miller conceived of the play as taking place in Willy's skull) but in these final moments to us. This I thought was a perfect thing.
The lines we all know, still new. How right it was for Linda Emond not to specially deliver, not to call special attention to, her attention must be paid lines. How right a choice it was for her to allow those words to emerge as a seamless part of her argument for loyalty. How right her decision to permit those words to appear new, just as they were received as new by audiences attending the original production. The same sureness was evident during her speech at the funeral scene, done so quietly, a simple "I can't cry . . .".
Delayed catharsis. Then something occurred I'd never seen before at a staged performance of a tragedy. When the tragedy is ended and the curtain falls and then rises to reveal the cast, by convention the magic is broken and we return to our lives. But at the end of this "Death of a Salesman," the full cast of 14 appeared linked hand-in-hand, and the entire troupe was dour faced. The four principals stood before us in the middle of the line with faces frozen in the very same shock, sorrow, and grief of the funeral scene. They remained so. Our loud standing ovation could not break the cast's concentration, could not entice them to adopt the ecstatic mood of our side of the proscenium. Catharsis would not be shared just yet. It was as if a spell had taken hold of the actors and would end only if we sufficiently witnessed their pain. And so, after what felt like minutes, the focus resolved on Hoffman, who moved ever so slightly forward. The burden lifted when he smiled with pride.
Also in attendance. At play's end, after exiting the row, I noticed the actor John Turturro walking up the aisle behind me, and though I tried my best to overhear the conversation he was having with others about the performance, I was not close enough to hear particulars. Drat. A compensatory thrill came earlier. Sitting in seat K-115, the aisle seat, was an elderly gentleman who, I learned, was 97 years old. His caretaker, a young woman, sat between us. After he cracked a joke about hoping to see at least three more years' worth of plays, I asked if he had seen this play before. Yes, he replied, he saw it during its first Broadway run. (That would have been in 1949 or 1950!) I wanted to ask if he would tell me more of what he remembered, but the show was about to start and he had turned his attention to the stage.
Trivial questions I have. What is Linda's backstory? Was Willy eligible for Social Security benefits? What are the odds the insurance company will successful rebuff the family's claim? Viewing the Loman house as a character, were Miller and Mielziner familiar with the illustrations Virginia Lee Burton created for her 1942 children's book, "The Little House"?
Why did this production succeed? A revealing, hour-long interview with Nichols and his three leads, conducted when the when the play was still in rehearsal, can be found here.
Time for effusiveness. The topmost quotation in the sign posted next to the stage door is right on the money. Hell, the whole sign is right on the money:

Flared Seventy Jean – Mango (on sale!) | Cropped Sweater Tank – Thrifted | Messenger Box Bag – JCOS Studios | Leather Mid Heeled Buckle Bootie – Zara | Rings & Bracelets – Ivory Studios
[show_shopthepost_widget id="829658″]
With temperatures rising, days extended, and vacations on the horizon it's hard for anyone to really stay focused at work. Along with that, most people are grumpy being stuck indoors when it's always so beautiful outside. But to keep your spirits up, I have found the perfect solution to your summertime work wardrobe problems you might be having, white 70s flare denim. Not only will this apply towards a corporate casual environment, these are the perfect transition piece for a Friday night happy hour after a long day in the office.
I grabbed this pair from Mango during their half season sale. They are structured and high waisted which were 2 of my must haves, not to mention the perfect wide leg flare leg. I threw on my thrifted Ann Taylor cropped sweater tank for a professional summer time look. Of course I can't leave the house without my Messenger Box Bag from JCOS Studios which keeps with the professional vibe. I'm going to be draping myself in white all summer long considering this past weekend humidity and temperatures have been in the 80s.

ariana grande,
Are you a fan of Beg For It? If so, what's your fave part of the song?
Music: Friday Favorite (7)
Photo by Google Images, Graphic by Arianne Cruz
I still can't get over the fact that Iggy Azalea has super straight blonde hair and she raps. I can't get enough of her songs even when people are hating on her and her talent. I love her more than other female rappers because I can actually understand her words when she raps. I'm not a big fan of rap music, but I'm willing to convert for Iggy ;)
I don't know if I'm the only one who noticed, but the beat at the beginning of the song reminded me of Black Widow. Since I love that song as well, Beg For It already became a winner in my book. Iggy's voice just makes her music sexier than all the other rappers out there. When a song can make me bop my head and feel sexy at the same time, you know it's an instant fave!
Also, if you read my previous Friday Favorite, you know that I was (still am) loving Ariana Grande's Love Me Harder. I see a pattern lately about women challenging men to work harder for their love. Girl power!

Emma Roberts looked gorgeous in a blue Cushnie et Ochs spring 2013 dress and Walter Steiger heels at the screening of her latest movie, Adult World, during the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival.
Emma Roberts at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival for the Adult World premiere on April 18, 2013
Emma's sleeveless dress looked absolutely sexy, gorgeous, and ultramodern. The angular lines and the curved effect on the bustier made this silk dress one of a kind. We love how the sleek lines and curves of her black snakeskin Walter Steiger "Tempo" heels matched those of her dress. That being said, her two-piece shoes seemed kind of big for her.
The Tempo style is from the label's latest collection and features peep toe, a closed back with a zip closure, and the designer's signature claw heel that measures about 5 inches.
Walter Steiger Tempo Sandal
We couldn't find the snakeskin pair online, but versions made of canvas are available at Barneys.

I had a long talk with a good, very attractive female friend.
She chatted with me about texting and how guys get friend zoned for replying to a text in a timely manner. Girls seem to want guys to reply in a timely manner, but when we do, we look desperate and boring.
So the only way to get a girls attention is to receive texts, and then not reply.
Most Helpful Girl
This probably works well if the girl has lots of free time or low self-esteem.
I have little free time and I really like myself, so if a guy doesn't text back habitually I just kind of cross him off the list. It doesn't matter if he's ignoring me or just busy, to me if there's no response there's no interest, which is fine, because there are, or will be, more guys.
In my opinion, people who are seeking validation of their worth want to be liked by those they perceive as socially superior to them. Some of that superiority/ethos is achieved by remaining aloof and elusive, which would mean that the opposite, reliability and timeliness, is evidence of a person's lack of social engagements/commitments/prowess. Erego, women who need to be validated will always place a premium on being ignored, because the few times they AREN'T ignored by the more socially valuable person is intoxicating...until the high dissipates and they need it again.
You can do what you want, but I'd stick with women who don't worry too much about all of that stuff to begin with. If she's jonesing for constant proof that someone she perceives as valuable finds HER valuable, she's got bigger problems than her ever-increasing friendzone.00|00|0
