Slender Problem
Posted 06 October 2012 - 12:44 AM
I've been researching the Slender Man for a while now. I won't say how long, but it started before the internet games, jokes, memes, and whatnot. I've been very interested and some of the jokes people make bother me. I honestly believe in him. I truly think that he exists, and that there are more like him.
That being said I am still unsure of what to believe regarding how safe or dangerous this being is. The stories rage from making him sounds terribly evil and blood thirsty, to someone who is more of a guardian. This may support the theory that there might be more than one of his kind. Perhaps there is an evil one and a not so evil one. Maybe there are many that range from good to evil, even neutral.
Like I said, I'm not here to listen to people tell me he's just an internet story. I'm here because I want to know if someone else believes and what someone else might know. My main goal is to find him, to see him for myself. If there is someone who believes/knows, maybe there is someone who knows if there is any way of calling him out. That is what I want.

Regardless, for some reason, recently everyone on the internet seems set on reviving this meme, and so many people seem to believe in him, I'm sure there is some kind of egregore in his image floating around somewhere. Do some research on egregores, learn how to work with them, try calling his. That's really all the advice I can give.

However, it is true that after these photos started circulating as "true," people came forward and said they have seen him themselves. I think there are several explanations for this, which I'll list below, but refrain from going into great detail over, lol.
1. Simple power of suggestion. If there are a number of people saying something is real, then your mind might start to blur the line between reality and fantasy, and false memories will pop up involving this archetype as a way to make sense of something that by its very definition, shouldn't make sense. A lot of people report seeing this thing in their younger days, so its impossible to rule out distortion of memory over time.
2. Its possible that this imagery IS an archetype, stored in our collective conscious. Symbolism can abound.
3. These things do have a basis in reality, and were originally created based on one person's true account. There has been talk over the years about Slenderman being somewhat similar in form and back story to a class of shadow men...the ones that are taller than an average man, wear a hat, and give off a sense of evil or foreboding.
4. Slenderman is actually a thought-form or tulpa. Perhaps so many people creating his image and believing in his existence has actually caused him to "come to life" so to speak in an alternate realm. Definitely an idea worth researching to anyone who is deeply involved in exploring the Slenderman mythos.

From Amazon: Slenderman: from fiction to fact
"Has a fictional internet character come to life? Slenderman was created on June 10th 2009. During a contest on the "Something Awful" forum in which people were asked to create a fictional paranormal character to fool investigators. A submission by "Victor Surge" took the forum and soon the Internet by storm. His creation "Slenderman" is a paranormal entity that lurks in the shadows, stalking people from their childhood. Once encountered, it is an unrelenting and unstoppable force of evil that does not rest until you are dead. This shadow entity is dressed in a black suit and is inhumanly tall with oddly long limbs. These limbs eerily extend out and multiply to trap you in its terrifying death embrace. But the oddest thing about this fictional internet character? People are actually having encounters with a real life Slenderman entity. In this new book by Robin Swope you will discover the origin and growth of the Slenderman myth, its historical archetypal imagery and the chilling clues that point to this modern myth is in fact an actual demonic force that has been hunting humans for hundreds of years. Join Rev. Robin Swope, a seminary trained exorcist and minister as he explores the strange story of the malicious child killing entity known as Slenderman."

I didn't lose my mind - I have it backed up on a disk ... somewhere

This is an old topic, but I still find the theory of the slender man interesting.
There have been legends of giant people, and even bones have been discovered.
(I've seen other articles too, I'm including just one for example)
I wonder if some genetic, environmental or disease catastrophe, or more than one of these things, could have caused giants to die out. You can still see extremely tall people in the various races of the world, and often they can be very skinny.
When they originated, there may have been geophysical conditions that allowed them to prosper. When these conditions started to go away, they could have sickened and mostly died off, while smaller races of people could do just fine.
Here's an interesting link about giants:
What do you think?

Phillies could be in market for Cuban talent
PHILADELPHIA -- General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said last week the Phillies need to make serious upgrades to their offense.
He could start in the outfield.View Full Game Coverage
PHILADELPHIA -- General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said last week the Phillies need to make serious upgrades to their offense.
He could start in the outfield.View Full Game Coverage
Despite the fact Marlon Byrd is fourth in the National League in home runs and sixth in RBIs and Ben Revere has the highest batting average in baseball since June 25, Phillies outfielders entered Wednesday's series finale against the Mariners at Citizens Bank Park with a combined .706 OPS, which ranked 19th in baseball.
Domonic Brown's .622 OPS ranked 56th out of 60 qualifying outfielders. Brown is on pace to have the lowest OPS of any left fielder since Chuck Knoblauch (.582) in 2002.
Multiple sources said recently the Phillies will take a shot at Cuban free agent Rusney Castillo, but they are not expected to sign him. Castillo established residency in Haiti and was cleared by the U.S. government to sign with a team in July.
The Phillies could be more aggressive with other international free agents in the coming months. Cuban outfielder Yasmani Tomas has big-time power, but the 23-year-old is not believed to be at the level of White Sox slugger Jose Abreu. Tomas could hit the market in the next couple of months.
Yozzen Cuesta is a corner infielder, which would require the Phillies to shuffle several pieces if they plan to pursue him.
Cuesta will not help offensively, but left-hander Misael Siverio, who defected to the United States before an exhibition game in Iowa, also could be on the Phillies' radar.
Tomas, Cuesta and Siverio have established residency outside the United States and Cuba. They need to be cleared by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), then declared free agents by Major League Baseball before they sign. But action on those players could pick up once Castillo signs with a team.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ghufana from Looks nicer than picture. love this dress it hides any imperfection in your body. I have gained a little weight and it goes in my belly. With this dress it does not show at all. This dress enhances any flat behind also it gives your body a nice shape. I can get away with size 0 but I bought it online in size 2 because I gained weight over the holiday. I know that i will be losing the weight and I know size 2 should still be ok on me. It is hard to put on since it does not stretch. I wore the dress for masquerade ball with masks and it is beautiful. The only complain I have is that it is tight and it does not stretch so it's hard to dance in it and I can't get in the car without lifting the dress up. Overall all I love it!

Rated 2 out of 5 by AriAlexisP from Looks great but not functional I love asymmetrical cut dresses especially around the neckline... I was so exited to get this dress in the mail but after trying it on I was very dissaponted. The cut is good but the material is not functional. There is no stretch what so ever so you cant hardly walk or move in this narrow pencil style dress. The pleats are also a little weird and if they aren't sitting just so the dress doesnt look right. You just can't have a form fitting pencil dress without a little stretch unless you plan on standing up straight all night. No way you can dance if you can barely walk. Good luck going up stairs in this. I'm sending it back:-( too bad:-(

Brief SummaryRead full entry
DescriptionBottlenose dolphins have widely spaced eyes, relatively long flippers, a rounded forehead (called a melon), a relatively short, broad snout, and a mouth that seems permanently twisted into a grin. Inside the mouth are as many as 100 teeth. Highly social, bottlenose dolphins often swim in groups of several hundred individuals, and are famous for racing alongside watercraft. Some stay in coastal waters and others swim offshore. In the Atlantic, the coastal dolphins feed mostly on sea trout, croakers, and spot. The offshore population follows the Gulf Stream and feeds on deep-water fish and squid. Three different populations have been identified in the North Pacific: a temperate-water group, a tropical-water group, and a coastal group.
Adaptation: Imagine the structural and functional changes involved in transforming the right forelimb of a general mammalian type, such this Hedgehog, Erinaceus europaeus, into that of a cetaceans flipper, such as we find in the Bottle-nosed dolphin, Tursiops truncatus.

Fight-Related Controversy of the Day: Dirty Move or Misunderstanding at Champions of Champions 2?
(Props: MMA Fanhouse)
Remember that big kickboxing card in Jamaica that we alerted you to on Friday? Well, it happened, but not without some controversy. In a much-anticipated (at least among kickboxing fans) bout, Nathan Corbett dropped Nathan Spong with a sweet little right hook. Though Spong managed to get up, the ref took a long look at him and decided he was done.
Here's where it gets tricky, though. The referee, as you see in the replay from the above video, steps back as if to recommence the fight, but instead he waves it off. That's when Corbett charges in to finish Spong off before the ref can stop him. Seems like a miscommunication, right? Only because of this miscommunication the result of the bout is changed to a 'No Contest,' which we learn when Cedric the Entertainer (seriously) gets on the mic.Read More DIGG THIS

Music Lessons Are In A Spin As DJ'ing Moves Into Classrooms
Pioneer technology helps teachers bring school music into the 21st Century
Music lessons will never be the same again, as today a new initiative launches to bring DJ'ing into schools across the country. Gone are the painful recorder and violin recitals of old, and in their place, a much funkier sound will be heard in the classroom.
This new beginning for music lessons, sees Pioneer software and decks enter the classroom to give pupils the opportunity to learn the art of DJ'ing. This unique programme, entitled "Make Me a DJ", will help teachers give lessons a fresh approach, bringing the music curriculum to life through a modern 'instrument' that pupils can relate to and begin the training of a new generation of world class DJs.
Aimed at 12-16 year olds the "Make me a DJ" modules meet the set curriculum through encouraging pupils to create mixes, fulfilling learning objectives and creating and developing musical ideas that meet Key Stage 3 & 4 / S1-4 music. Newly acquired DJ'ing skills can even contribute towards a Music GCSE.
Championing the positives of DJ'ing, Pioneer, the leader in professional DJ equipment, has joined forces with the National Schools Partnership and former BBC Radio One presenter, DJ Spoony, to raise awareness of how working with decks can help get more kids interested in music, putting a spin on the traditional instruments once favoured in the past.
The "Make me a DJ" resource will see pupils use Pioneer mixing software called "DJS" to create mixes of their favourite tracks. To encourage involvement pupils can enter their mixes into 3 prize draws throughout the year to win Pioneer headphones and DJ Software. At the end of the year, one lucky school will win a visit from the Pioneer Pro DJ team and Pioneer DJ equipment.
DJ Spoony, one of the UK's leading professional DJs, is fronting the campaign, "I'm delighted to be involved in Pioneer's 'Make me a DJ' program. DJ'ing is a fantastic skill for pupils to learn, and a great way to get involved in music. I've now been a professional DJ for 10 years and the best part of the job is being behind the decks, working with tunes I love and entertaining the masses. I'd recommend every pupil has a go at DJing, it's great fun, and who knows where it could take them!"
Mark Fawcett, Chief Executive at the National Schools Partnership, said 'Make me a DJ' is designed to help schools encourage more pupils to engage with music by branching out beyond traditional lessons.
With the help of Pioneer, the 'Make me a DJ' programme is a gift for teachers and shows how popular culture can really enhance the curriculum."
Martin Dockree spokesperson for Pioneer said "We are happy to offer our full support to the 'Make Me a DJ' programme, as we believe it will ignite new passions for DJ'ing and music in general. Pupils are keen to learn when a subject is put across in an exciting and enthusiastic way. "Make me a DJ" helps teachers infuse their curricula with fun and make it relevant to the lives of today's teenagers."

Stylish 4-Star Hotel in Bustling Gaslamp Quarter
Judging from its stately Romanesque exterior, you'd never guess what The Keating Hotel looks like on the inside. Built in 1890, the building has served as a public library and a bank over the years—in fact, the original vault is still intact in the basement. More recently, a team of prestigious designers got their hands on the historic hotel's interior. Pininfarina Extra, the Italian auto house behind Ferrari and Maserati, completely revamped The Keating, incorporating bright-red minimalist decor. The loft-like stanzas—Italian for "rooms"—come with exposed brick walls. The furniture is custom-designed, and the modern amenities include in-room espresso machines.
Located in San Diego's historic Gaslamp District, the hotel is within walking distance of some of the city's best dining. But there are some excellent options onsite as well. Brick+Mortar, a modern American onsite eatery, has a selection of creative Italian-inspired dishes, including pizzas topped with grilled prawns and wild-mushroom gnocchi. In the evening, hip patrons gather for cocktails in the basement-level lounge, Pussycat Dolls Dollhouse, which has a mixed ambiance of interactive nightclub with costumed performers.
The Keating Hotel features four different types of rooms, ranging in size from 300 to 1,200 square feet. Even standard rooms include goose-down duvets and feather beds. Stay in one of the Chic suites for a little extra space; these rooms have a corner area with lounge seating overlooking the bustling Gaslamp Quarter.
San Diego: Historical Attractions and Electric Nightlife in Southern California
San Diego's sunny, comfortably warm weather and 70 miles of coastline have long attracted vacationing out-of-towners, but the city's inland scene is no slouch, either. The Gaslamp Quarter is arguably one of the trendiest listings on the National Register of Historic Places. The area forms both the historic center of town and a hub of San Diego nightlife, with nearly 100 Victorian-era buildings now occupied by high-end boutiques, jewelers, and gourmet restaurants.
A stroll through iconic Balboa Park takes you past 17 separate museums, as well as the world-famous and much beloved San Diego Zoo. There's also the vibrant Spanish Village Art Center, a living gallery where local artists continuously produce pottery, handblown glass, and oil paintings for sale.
Farther north, in Old Town—site of the first European settlement in California—shops in Mission-style stucco buildings sell colorful wrestling masks, woven baskets, and maracas. Nearby stands The Whaley House Museum, dubbed one of the Most Terrifying Places in America by the Travel Channel. Ghosts of former residents are said to inhabit the rooms, which are filled with Victorian furniture, eerie dolls, and squeegees for ectoplasm cleanup.

Some are reluctant to publicly take a political stand. Aside from politeness, one concern is others may make nasty comments, shun them, or worse. To the contrary, left-of-center uninhibited vocal groups fearlessly demand and receive highly visible media exposure. To provide balance, no one should avoid "speaking-up" when so much is at stake this November. You may make a difference to an undecided voter.
Are you really happy with the direction of our country: never-ending enormously expensive government regulations, entitlements, and bailouts; four years of unacceptably high unemployment; bottom-of-the-barrel economic growth; refusal to issue budgets; oil-gas-coal energy mismanagement; insanely out-of-control national debt to be shouldered not by you but by your children and grandchildren; politically inspired immigration actions; borrow from China and give to Libya, Egypt, Pakistan; and, seemingly intentional, very disruptive, and unsettling religious, economic, ethnic, and gender-class tensions? Is our National security improved by pacification of enemies?
Regardless of political affiliation, can you really afford to risk four more years like the last four deplorable years? Are you tired of excuse after excuse spoken with admittedly magnificent yet shallow and generalized oratory often disingenuous? Judge performance by actions and not feel-good words. Fool me once in 2008 but not twice.
I wish America's choice in 2012 was centralist Bill Clinton and moderate Mitt Romney. Alas, we are left with extreme liberalist Barack Obama. Also, avoid gridlock, elect moderate Senators. God save our Republic, Capitalism and Constitution. Make a difference. Speak-up and vote.

Finizio reappoints chiefs, clarifies statement on city attorney position
New London - Standing in the sunlight in front of fire department headquarters on Bank Street at noontime Friday, surrounded by police, fire and emergency vehicles, Mayor-elect Daryl J. Finizio announced that both the police and fire chief would remain in their respective positions under his fledgling administration.
Finizio said it had been a pledge of his since January to keep Police Chief Margaret Ackley and Fire Chief Ronald Samul in their positions if Finizio were elected. Finizio said both Ackley and Samul had agreed to stay on. Earlier this year, Ackley reached an agreement with the city manager to retire by the end of the year, and said at a City Council meeting in August that Councilor Michael Buscetto III was "causing her distress" by meddling in police affairs and that she was unable to do her job. That agreement had an opt-out clause, which she is exercising.
"We've engaged in extended dialogue since the election about the new roles that would be played in the new administration and I'm very glad that both of them have agreed to stay on," Finizio said.
Finizio will be sworn in as mayor on Dec. 5 and has said he'd like to have all department head positions filled at that time.
Samul and Ackley made brief statements thanking Finizio for his support, and pledging to continue the high-quality service they said their respective departments provide for the city.
"It's an exciting time with our strong mayor form of government and it is time to start moving forward and the police department intends to do exactly that," Ackley said. "We're approaching this as a team approach with the new city government."
The announcement comes a day after Finizio announced that current Law Director Thomas Londregan would not retain his position with the city. Finizio said yesterday that "it's time for a new person or a younger person in the post to join the administration. Londregan, 67, was first appointed as the city's law director 25 years ago on a temporary basis.
On Friday, Finizio apologized for the comment and said it was taken out a context. Finizio said his administration "does not discriminate at all on the basis of age, on the basis of any ethnicity, racial classification, gender classification or political partisanship."
"It was in a conversation with Attorney Londregan about the need for an individual who would be willing to have a long-term commitment to the position and Attorney Londregan himself mentioned his own age and that he had served for a great period of time and that it was a mutual discussion that perhaps someone willing to make a long-term commitment would be a younger person," Finizio said. "But, anyone, of any age, who applies including someone older than Mr. Londregan himself, who is willing to make a long-term commitment to the administration would be fully considered."
"It does not accurately indicate my approach to hiring," he said.

Car Review
2013 Infiniti G37: New Car Review Video
For years, the BMW 3-series has been the go to premium midsize vehicle. With a punchy inline 6-cylinder engine, excellent driving feel and great standard and optional equipment, many manufacturers dreamed of having a vehicle like the BMW 3-series. Using a proven V6 engine, great looks and sharp handling, the 2013 Infiniti G37 has become a true favorite among enthusiasts and professionals.
For the 2013 model year, the Infiniti G37 comes in three different trims: Journey, xAWD and Sport. Standard equipment on all three trims includes leather seating, excellent finishes throughout and a simple, straightforward instrument layout you can trust. A 7-inch LCD Navigation system is also standard and offers XM NavTraffic and NavWeather, which can be controlled with the logically placed joystick and surrounding buttons. You also can program the voice recognition to allow for hands-free use.
Understanding the competition, Infiniti has always known that drivers demand equal parts luxury and performance. With the above standard features, the luxury aspect is in the bag. For performance, Infiniti installed a 328 horsepower 3.7-liter V6 engine, which is the same one you'll find in its brawny corporate cousin, the Nissan 370Z. Also borrowed are the transmissions: a 7-speed automatic is standard, but a 6-speed manual transmission is available in the Sport trim G37.
With the Sport trim, the suspension is firmer than other trim levels. While enthusiasts might enjoy tighter turns and less body roll, this performance and stiff ride might be too much for everyday commuters.
Depending on the powertrain configuration, fuel economy varies from 17 to 19 miles per gallon in the city and 25 to 27 mpg on the highway, with the lower numbers relating to the all-wheel-drive package. Even though these numbers are respectable, both BMW and Audi offer turbocharged engines that are capable of similar performance with increased miles per gallon.
Currently, the main competition for the 2013 Infiniti G37 Sedan comes from the BMW 335i, which is more expensive than the G37 and offers similar performance, and the new Acura TL, which matches the G37 with an excellent reliability record, resale value and plenty of power.
I t's hard to find many gripes with the latest G37 sedan. With big time luxury, impressive performance, loads of standard features and inviting options, the Infiniti's smooth ride, excellent handling and top-of-the-line quality are sure to impress every time.

Her Turn
"I know I sound like the classic nag," said Kathy, 30, an interior designer who's been married for five years. "I mean, what kind of woman thinks about divorcing her husband just because he leaves empty bottles on the kitchen counter instead of taking them to the curb for recycling? But it's not about the bottles. It's that Phil yesses me to death but never follows through. It reminds me of the way his mom and dad used to act with each other.
"His mother died two years ago, and the stuff from her house is sitting in a big pile in our basement. We have a small place and Phil knows I get nutty when junk is strewn all over. But because he thinks it's no big deal, the 'issue is off the table,' as he puts it. He's notorious for not discussing anything. Whenever I'm upset, he just cuts me off in an exasperated voice and leaves the room or turns back to the game on TV.
"Then there's the fact that he is always late. Last Sunday, for instance, we were due at 4 p.m. for my niece's third birthday party. I reminded Phil about it at lunch and again at 3:15 when he was mowing the lawn. At 3:45, I got in the car and sat there. Only then did he shower and change. We were 20 minutes late, and I was furious. Why is it that he's unfailingly prompt when meeting with colleagues but never when he's doing something with his wife? If he really loved me, he'd figure out a way to be on time.
"I grew up in New Jersey in a home where no one laughed. Whenever my dad was out of work, which was often, my mom would find a menial job so we could eat. My dad was an alcoholic who thought nothing of smacking my brother and me across the face. He never hit my mother, but she did nothing to stop him from hitting us."
"With no money for college, I got a job at an insurance company in New York City and took night classes to learn interior design. My coworkers — Phil was one of them — were so encouraging whenever I had to leave early for class. I felt like Melanie Griffith in Working Girl; all my big-city dreams were coming true, especially after Phil and I got together. He introduced me to old movies in SoHo, weekends at country inns, and long walks in Central Park. I'd never had so much fun.
"We got married after I graduated and joined the firm where I currently work. Shortly after that, we bought a small fixer-upper in the suburbs. About two years ago Phil opened his own insurance agency. I wasn't thrilled about it; why leave a good job for something so risky? But he's been successful, and his employees can't praise him enough. Apparently I'm the only person alive who doesn't think he's a great guy.
"Our most serious blow-up was about our credit card debt. We owe about $30,000, mostly for house renovations. I hate carrying such a big balance, so about a year ago we had a perfectly reasonable conversation and agreed to pay it off over the next two years. He said he'd set up a plan to have a fixed amount automatically deducted from our savings account every month.
"Every so often, I'd ask about the payments and he'd brush me off. This went on for months. Finally, a few weeks ago, he admitted he'd never set up the plan. I was livid and let him know it. Why would he deceive me like that? What else hasn't he told me? We had such an epic battle we didn't speak for a week.
"After we finally made up, Phil was nice and attentive — for about two days. Then he was back to his sour, silent self. I love my husband, but if he doesn't change, I'm out of here."
His Turn
"All I've ever wanted is to make Kathy happy," said Phil, 35. "I've loved her almost from the moment she walked into the office where we both worked. But it's scary to be in the same room with her when she has a meltdown. She gets nasty, sarcastic, and demanding. I don't know how to respond and feel annihilated after five minutes.
"Kathy keeps a long list of things I don't do, and she's relentless about letting me know it. The problem is, I don't think these things are a problem! She gets equally bent out of shape whether my mom's stuff is in the basement or we're 20 minutes late for a 3-year-old's party. Hey, I forgot. So what if we miss a few rounds of 'Duck Duck Goose'? The phrase 'making mountains out of molehills' fits my wife to a tee. But whenever I try to help her put things into perspective, she lashes out at me.
"Why didn't I let her know about the credit cards? Because my business has been slow this year and I'm not sure how things are going to shake out, especially in this economy. I didn't want to withdraw from our savings in case I needed quick access to cash. I didn't tell her because she flips out if she thinks we're low on money. She's terrified we'll end up like her parents, living hand to mouth. I'm worried myself, so it doesn't help to have her treat every downturn as if it were a catastrophe. So, yes, sometimes I keep her in the dark. It's not because I don't care. It's because it's the only way I know to stay sane.
"As for the stuff in the basement, it's hard for me to talk about it. I'm still dealing with my mother's death, and I'm not ready to go through it yet. I wish Kathy would understand that and leave it alone. I don't appreciate being told what to do, as though I'm in third grade. Put the garbage out. Call the finance guy. Enough already! A lot of what's happening between Kathy and me feels like a replay of my childhood.
"My dad was a real-estate developer, and my mother called herself a 'domestic engineer.' She turned staying home into an art form: She headed up every school committee, volunteered as den mother and class parent — all while raising four kids and running a large household. I guess we were as happy as any other family, but did we have meaningful, deep conversations? Never. Mom was always hounding my dad to do one thing or another. Mostly, he buried his head in his newspaper and ignored her. Both my parents were strict: Kids were to be seen and not heard, to use proper table manners, to never talk back. If I broke a rule, Mom would go to her bedroom, close the door, and not speak for a while.
"Kathy says I'm just like my parents, either ignoring her requests, like my dad, or freezing her out, like my mom. But look, I love Kathy or I wouldn't be here. If she would just simmer down, we could be the happiest couple around."
The Counselor's Turn
Kathy and Phil were stuck in what I call 'stable misery,'" said the counselor. "Kathy was angry and exhausted: No matter how hard she cajoled, she couldn't get Phil to respond to her needs. The harder she pushed, the more he withdrew. Incensed, she pushed even harder, to the point where she overreacted even to unimportant things. Phil was baffled by Kathy's anger. To protect himself from it, he either said yes but did nothing or else checked out — classic passive-aggressive behavior. Phil loved his wife and didn't mean to hurt her, but his attitude was just as controlling and contemptuous to her as her fury was to him.
"To help them understand the subtle dynamic behind so many fruitless arguments, I asked them what they did in their worst moments. Kathy conceded she often yelled and insisted that Phil behave in a way she believed to be the right one. Phil admitted that he retaliated by withdrawing — an unsurprising reaction, given his emotionally barren childhood. Still, I was firm with him: 'You say you love your wife yet you are not acting in ways that show it.'
"Phil was surprised, but my words registered. 'You have to find ways to repair the damage,' I continued. 'Start by telling Kathy what you really feel. She can't read your mind. If you're not ready to go through your mother's belongings, say so.' By not sharing his feelings, Phil missed opportunities to find solutions to minor problems and unwittingly reinforced Kathy's belief that he didn't care.
"'Forgetting' about financial issues was a similar, though more serious, breach. If he'd been upfront, Kathy could have shown him she understood. Instead, by not telling her the truth, he set off a cascade of negative feelings. 'Partners don't do that,' I said. 'Nor do they make promises and not follow through.'"
"I was equally direct with Kathy. She had survived a difficult childhood and was determined to escape a similar fate in her own marriage. To quell any lingering anxieties, she organized her life as much as possible — one reason the basement mess upset her so much. While her husband was not overtly unkind, he made her feel as unloved and unsafe as she had as a child. This was understandable, but to react by repeatedly criticizing her husband or instructing him on how to think was, I told her, verbal abuse. She bristled at that but was glad I'd validated her complaints.
"Phil started to work on paying attention and keeping his word, while Kathy focused on staying calm and speaking up in difficult conversations. 'There's a difference between standing up for yourself and lashing out,' I told her. 'Remember, you love your husband. You could argue for hours about who's right. Do you want to be always right, or do you want to stay married?' In our sessions, the couple learned a conversational technique that helped them respond respectfully to what the other person actually said rather than reading hidden meanings into it. This allowed them to untangle their arguments, whether about what time to leave for a movie or how to spend a tax refund, and resolve them peacefully and practically.
"The happy result was that Phil now pays attention when Kathy speaks instead of pretending to listen while he watches a baseball game. Because her husband has become more attentive, Kathy shrugs off small 'injustices' like the yet-to-be-recycled bottles. And as she calmed down, Phil felt safe to open up about financial and emotional worries. They agreed to start paying down the credit card debt immediately and have begun sorting his mother's possessions.
"'Phil and I are falling in love again,' Kathy told me at their final session. 'We'd rather be with each other than with anyone else.'"

Last week Congressional House Republicans once again showcased their callousness toward the poor when they finagled the passage of a farm bill stripped of its core component � the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or what was formerly known as the food stamp program.
The House had earlier failed to pass another version of the bill that would have cut about $20 billion over the next 10 years from the program.
That proposed $20 billion cut, according to advocates for the poor, would have had a staggering impact on the approximately 50 million Americans who use the program to make ends meet.
Some of the more hardened House Republicans didn't think the cut was deep enough, and failing to get Democratic support to inflict even greater pain on the poor, they set aside the food stamp program with the intention of securing their draconian cuts at a later date.
House Republicans cannot fathom their shortsightedness in scuttling the food stamp program, which would have lifted 3.9 million Americans � including 1.7 million children � out of poverty if the benefits were included in the official measures of income and poverty in the 2010 Census, according to supporters of the program.
Indeed, House Republicans are not able to see what the USDA has known for a long time now � that the food stamp program "provides assistance to more low-income households during an economic downturn or recession and to fewer households during an economic expansion," and that the "rise in SNAP participation during an economic downturn results in greater SNAP expenditures which, in turn, stimulate the economy.
"When households spend their SNAP benefits, the direct effects are increased economic activity by the producers of the goods and services being purchased, as well as by the retail, wholesale and transportation system that delivers the goods and services," the USDA noted.
In addition, according to the USDA, every $5 in new SNAP benefits generates as much as $9 of economic activity, and every $1 billion in SNAP benefits creates approximately 9,000 full-time jobs.
Whether or not you agree with the USDA, it is difficult to side with the logic of the House Republicans. Their decision to strip the farm bill of the food stamp program would have been more palatable had they imbued the pared-down bill with just a little of their self-proclaimed fiscal conservatism.
Instead, they passed a bill loaded with largess for farmers, including increased crop insurance aid, and new subsidies for peanut, cotton and rice farmers.
This pared-down bill was even criticized by the conservative Heritage Foundation as "making sneaky changes ... so that some of the costliest and most indefensible (farm aid) programs no longer expire after five years, but will live on indefinitely."
New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, noting that the pared-down bill benefits "mostly Republican states and interest groups," succinctly captured the scandalous behavior of House Republicans since President Barack Obama came into office.
"Without a vision of the common good, a party is basically just a faction, seeking only the interests of its constituents, with no sense of its responsibilities to the country as a whole," he wrote.
"And the Obama-era Republican Party's worst tendency has been toward just this sort of factionalism: Not an ideological extremism, exactly, but rather a vision of government that you might call 'small government for thee, but not for me,' in which conservatism is just constituent services for most reliable Republican groups and voters."

Augusta Car Dealer Subjected Black Sales Manager to Racial Abuse, Agency Charges
ATLANTA – In a race discrimination lawsuit filed today, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged that a GM Pontiac-Buick car dealership committed racial discrimination at its Augusta, Ga., location. The EEOC charged that a white male management consultant subjected an African American sales manager to a racially hostile work environment over a four-month period.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit against S&H Thomson, Inc., doing business as Stokes-Hodges GM Pontiac Buick, the white consultant visited the GM Pontiac Buick location three to four times a week and never missed an opportunity to make racially derogatory comments towards the black sales manager. The man was subjected to humiliating and degrading comments every time the consultant visited the GM Pontiac Buick dealership and almost always in the presence of other people. In one instance, the consultant said to the black manager who was conducting training at the time "Come here n----r; get me some coffee, n----r." This offending conduct occurred in front of approximately nine salespeople and managers, the EEOC said.
The victim complained to the employer about the offensive conduct, but the discrimination continued until the end of the black sales manager's employment. The EEOC charged that the employer failed to take prompt remedial action designed to stop the harassment, as required by federal law.
Race discrimination violates Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement. The federal agency seeks compensatory and punitive damages for the harmed employee, as well as injunctive relief designed to prevent such discrimination in the future.
"This is an outrageous case where an African American employee was subjected to humiliating and degrading behavior," said Bernice Kimbrough, district director for the EEOC's Atlanta District Office.
Robert Dawkins, regional attorney for the Atlanta District Office, said, "This is an example of severe and pervasive acts of racial harassment which no employee should be allowed to endure. The EEOC is committed to taking action to eliminate this type of misbehavior from the workplace."
During Fiscal Year 2008, the EEOC received 33,937 race discrimination charge filings, up 11 percent from the prior year. Of the total, approximately 8,600 race charges alleged racial harassment, up 23 percent from nearly 7,000 such filings in FY 2007.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

With one week to go until the midseason finale, "The Walking Dead" seems to be seeding the ground with gunpowder in anticipation. The impact of this episode comes less from violence than the threat of violence, which, as we see several times, can be just as effective as the real thing. Fear isn't pain, after all -- it's the anticipation of pain, an imagining of what might happen. The best way to make people do what you want isn't necessarily to do something bad to them; it's to make them think that you will.
The tactics of fear seem particularly relevant in an episode with no less than four interrogations with people locked in cells, starting with Glenn and Merle. Whatever misguided nostalgia you might have had for Merle will likely wear off in this episode, wherein he hurls racist insults at dead black characters, nearly cuts off Glenn's nose, and generally reminds you why everyone left him to die on that roof back in Season 1.
Merle is still pretty hung up on the whole losing-his-hand thing, and whines about it nearly the entire time he's beating Glenn to a bloody pulp. Unfortunately for him, revenge and sympathy are sort of mutually exclusive goals. You can't punch someone in the face AND ask them to feel bad for you. You only get to choose one.

Halle Berry was nursed by Hanks on Cloud Atlas
- Bang Showbiz
- 14 February 2013
Halle Berry has thanked Tom Hanks for acting like her nurse on the set of their new movie 'Cloud Atlas' as the actor fetched her drinks and sat with her as she struggled to get around because of a broken foot,
Halle Berry says Tom Hanks was like her own personal nurse on the set of their new movie 'Cloud Atlas'.
The 46-year-old actress broke her foot just two days before shooting started on the project - a science fiction film which is set across six different eras - and was convinced she'd be dropped from the cast.
But bosses changed their schedule to accommodate her injury and co-star Tom took it upon himself to care for her between takes.
Halle said: "I thought they were going to give me my walking papers. But they threw out their initial schedule and gave up any hope of shooting in chronological order. Tom was a dream partner during the making of the film. Because of my broken foot, each day Tom would play nurse to me. He'd bring me coffee and soup and just stay with me during breaks in shooting because it was difficult for me to move around."
The Oscar winner incredibly plays six different characters who are linked across time spiritually and she admits when she began her career she didn't expect to ever portray a sexually-frustrated white Jewish wife of a male Asian doctor on screen.
In an interview with The Sun newspaper, she admitted: "I never could have imagined being part of any film like this. Playing a white Jewish woman was one thing, but playing an Asian man like Dr Ovid was something else. I loved it. Never in my life would I have thought anybody would hire me to be an Asian man.
"The film talks about the human soul and how an evil person can be transformed into a hero, in another body, after a single act of kindness. This film is something unique - I doubt if I'll ever get the chance to be part of this kind of a project again."
Halle also stars with Jim Broadbent, Ben Whishaw and Susan Sarandon ion the ambitious movie, which is based on David Mitchell's best-selling novel.

Lucky Ladies: Women Romantically Linked to Michael Jackson
The King of Pop would be 53 years old today and many people are celebrating the timeless, classic hits he seasoned us with along his journey that as shortened too soon. Although we'd got our MJ collections in constant rotation today, we'd also like to shine light on the love that the shy musician spread to many women.
Call it what you want, but this moonwalker was said to have a charm that was unmatched. The ladies loved Mike way before they loved LL Cool J, Chris Brown or Trey Songz. He was a natural…
See the women that MJ coyly charmed from Tatum O'Neal and Brooke Shields to Lisa Presley and Madonna here!
Happy Birthday, Michael!

"Queens Makes helped to diversify the maker movement in the community and create deep and lasting connections with local families. In the process, we've introduced a new learning approach to visitors, maker partners, the larger community, and even our own staff."
-- David Wells, Manager of Creative Learning and Making,
New York Hall of Science
The New York Hall of Science (NYSCI), located in the most ethnically diverse county in the nation, Queens, N.Y., serves the most diverse population of any science center in the country. Its interactive exhibits and workshops allow visitors to experience hands-on learning in science, technology, engineering, and math. Creating a program called NYSCI Neighbors to engage underserved populations in its community, the museum offered local families opportunities to participate in afterschool programs and workshops, with perks including free membership cards and access to the Science Playground.
With a 2011 Museums for America grant, NYSCI sought to grow its NYSCI Neighbors community connections, and strengthen its ties to the Queens maker community. The goal was to enrich the quality of its programming and build a new pool of talent. Queens Makes presented weekend programming targeting the local Latino, Asian, and Caribbean communities. The programs encouraged participants to engage with the museum as a place to showcase their passions and talents. NYSCI also used Queens Makes as a launching pad to develop new approaches and improve its infrastructure through data collection, surveys, interim reports, and user feedback. Further, NYSCI and its neighborhood partner, Queens Museum of Art, promoted repeat visits to micro and macro communities in the maker world by leveraging their relationships and information gained from Queens Makes.
Engaging Communities and Growing a Generation of STEM Leaders
The grant allowed NYSCI to implement maker programming, which let visitors take on the role of producers rather than consumers within the walls of the science center. To kick off the program, NYSCI engaged 60 Chinese and Latino families in workshops in a variety of topics, including drum making, exploring the mechanics of dragon boats (in conjunction with the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival in the local park), and cultural influences on design. One workshop led to an impromptu performance by the young drummers.
A program called Little Makers offered families with younger children a curriculum for experimenting with materials and design. In the classes, the Little Makers and their families created block prints, learned the science behind bubbles, and made ice cream. Weekend workshops delved into circuitry, engineering tools, building projects, and the creation of large and small open-ended structures to teach students about the impact of scalability. Over the past two years, families introduced to NYSCI through Queens Makes have become regular visitors, and many students have expressed excitement about using materials and tools. Teens voiced their interests in areas as varied as 3D printing, music, and game controls; discussed their process; and provided feedback for future programs in the Speak Up Space video diary booth. Their ability to articulate their experiences demonstrated that they understood the processes and materials, and could apply them in many different ways.
NYSCI also used the grant to develop an advisory board to create opportunities to cultivate relationships with makers and their networks. Slated to host the upcoming World Maker Faire, an event featuring innovation and experimentation across the spectrum of science, engineering, art, performance, and craft, NYSCI used its advisory board to connect with the event leaders and maker culture representatives from New York and around the nation. NYSCI also hosted symposia convening national leaders in conversations about learning and engagement as they relate to young people's passions for making. Other maker resources, like local Queens artist and maker Nick Normal, consulted with NYSCI to help develop and introduce new projects and recruit NYSCI Neighbors participants from their networks.
An Institution Adopting the Maker Mindset
The Queens Makes team used the project to inform strategy and education approaches throughout NYSCI. They also used it as an opportunity to enhance communication and collaboration across departments. Through maker projects, NYSCI is constantly developing new activities and workshops for materials investigations. This is made possible by the new discovery approach evolved during the program, rather than the previous method, using tools as a means to end. By providing emergent learning experiences centered on visitors' interests, families were afforded the opportunity to explore their creative potential. This open-ended framework exposed NYSCI makers to the vast potential of tools. The results enabled makers, participants and staff to see firsthand how removing structure can spark creativity, inventiveness, and innovation.
This mindset was integrated into NYSCI's program development process. On the third weekend of each month, NYSCI hosts Wildcard Weekend, where guest makers collaborate with families through a day of feedback, conversations, and interactions with prototypes. This interface sparks ideas for future programming. For example, a Wildcard Weekend project tinkered with the process of developing a primitive robot called a Brush Bot, and NYSCI is now developing these elements into a month-long theme incorporating exploration into brush, circuitry, and power source mechanics.
The museum developed a community of practice in which these observations, as well as the data and feedback collected through Queens Makes, were shared with cultural institutions across the country through conferences, reports, and communication within NYSCI's new networks. NYSCI also continues to study other institutions' use of similar types of programming and has embedded itself into the strong global maker culture. The key lessons that the Queens Makes team took away from the project are reflective of the premise that NYSCI advocated to its visitors: the best lessons and discoveries are often found outside of an academic, or even purposeful, setting. As David Wells, Manager of Creative Learning and Making, said, "Give credit to informal education and unconventional ways of learning. And give yourself credit for making."

A study by scientists at the University of California, Berkley found that young children learn using the same methods scientists use: by forming and testing hypotheses, reports Popular Science.
The lead author of the study and psychology professor Alison Gopnik drew comparisons to the way children play and how scientists test theories: ""Everyday playing is a kind of experimentation—it's a way of experimenting with the world, getting data the way that scientists do and then using that data to draw new conclusions," Gopnik said.
Plus: How to Raise a Gifted Child
In the study, children played with a setup that made sounds and lit up if the pieces were lined up correctly. In order to make the setup work, kids tried different combinations and, most significantly, changed their guesses based on their previous attempts.
Gopnik said this goes against the academic learning environment children are placed in from an early age. "What we need to do to encourage these children to learn is not to put them in the equivalent of school, tell them things, or give them reading drills or flash cards or so forth," she said. "What we need to do is put them in a safe, rich environment where these natural capacities for exploration, for testing, for science, can get free rein."

Europe and the International Monetary Fund may have agreed on a broad aid deal for financial targets for Greece, but divisions appear to be just below the surface, and some analysts say the deal may not be more than another short-term fix.
Following several drawn-out meetings, the Eurogroup of euro-zone finance ministers, the European Central Bank and the IMF agreed Tuesday that Greece will cut its debt-to- GDP ratio to 124% by 2020, and to below 110% by 2022.
That would be a steep drop for a debt-to-GDP that BNP Paribas strategists project will reach 189% in 2013 and peak at 193% in 2014.
The country's debt load is expected to be reduced through a variety of measures, including lowering interest rates on Greek loans, deferring interest payments, and potentially buying back debt.
Greece will receive another installment of financial aid, although formal disbursement of the first part of the latest tranche isn't expected to take place until Dec. 13.
But in a sign of lingering tensions between the lenders, IMF chief Christine Lagarde said that the Fund won't recommend completion of the first part of the assistance program until it knows the result of a Greek debt buyback.
A buyback would likely allow the country to purchase bonds at low prices and represent a savings compared to if the bonds were bought at maturity, according to the Financial Times.
And some skepticism over whether Athens can reach the targets remains. BNP Paribas strategists said that, unlike Greece's lenders, they are expecting the nation's debt-to-GDP to fall to 150% by 2020.
Tuesday's deal "will not be the end of the story" they said, as they believe their estimate underlines the need for public-sector debt relief at some point.
The latest agreement should enable Greece to continue to receive funds and move ahead with its rescue program, "while also giving some of the euro-zone member states, such as Germany, which is heading into a general election in September 2013, some time before they eventually have to take politically controversial decisions," the strategists said.

What do you call an artificial system that simulates a network of hundreds of thousands of Android devices, allowing to predict the behavior of said devices in case of new app, malware or unforeseen technological breakdown? If your answer was "The Matrix," then somewhere the Wachowski siblings would like to thank you, but the real answer is something far more entertaining than any amount of Keanu Reeveses staring blankly at the screen. World, meet the MegaDroid.
The MegaDroid is the creation of researchers at California-based Sandia National Laboratories, and virtually simulates 300,000 separate Android devices in an attempt to analyze the reactions of large-scale networks to any number of situations. According to computer scientist John Floren, the MegaDroid is completely insulated from all other networks in the world, but nonetheless offers a realistic network environment inside itself, complete with full domain name service, Internet relay chat server, web server and multiple subnets. It even includes a fake GPS system so that the fictional users of the multiple Android devices being simulated can be tracked in different environments to see whether environment would have any effect on the particular data being studied, and also whether areas without WiFi or Bluetooth impact service significantly.
The need for MegaDroid is explained by Floren very simply: "You can't defend against something you don't understand," he says, pointing to the system's use in running simulations that will allow Android users to be protected against cyber attack or disruption of service from more benign sources. It's something echoed by Sandia's David Fritz, who says that, although "smartphones are now ubiquitous and used as general-purpose computing devices as much as desktop or laptop computers," they remain easy targets for those seeking to disrupt the system. "No-one appears to be studying them at the scale we're attempting," he added.
Continuing, Fritz said that "It's possible for something to go wrong on the scale of a big wireless network because of a coding mistake in an operating system or an application, and it's very hard to diagnose and fix. You can't possibly read through 15 million lines of code and understand every possible interaction between all these devices and the network."
MegaDroid uses data gleaned from 2009's MegaTux project, in which Sandia ran a million virtual Linux machines (They have also created MegaWin, which runs multiple Windows OSs simultaneously; clearly, they find mass production very attractive). The experience helped when it came to duplicating the surprisingly complex Android code, with Google's coding running on top of Linux. Sandia plans to make much of MegaDroid open source once the bugs have been worked out, with Fritz explaining that decision with remarkable ease. "Tools are only useful if they're used," he said. What would you do with 300,000 Android devices…?

BOSTON — It's almost time for Bruins head coach Claude Julien to make a big decision about his back end.
Defenseman Johnny Boychuk could be back ready to play as early as Wednesday, less than a month since he suffered a fractured forearm.
Don't think for a second that Adam McQuaid didn't know that despite some solid play in the eight games prior to tonight's 3-0 win over New Jersey tonight at TD Garden, he was a candidate to go back to the press box. So in his ninth game dressed since he was a healthy scratch for the first six, he made his pitch for playing time early.
It took just one shift and 3:05 of game time for McQuaid to drop the gloves with Rod Pelley. After losing his footing, McQuaid got back up and matched the Devils forward punch for punch as you can see here:
"Well, we've been kind of having some slow starts as of late," said McQuaid after the game. "It was my first shift and I just thought I would get the guys going, get the crowd excited, and yeah, you know, that's about it."
McQuaid finished with 9:05 of ice time and three blocked shots. For the season, he has an even plus/minus and has averaged 12:14 of ice time. A stay-at-home defenseman who has to put his physicality to use to be effective, McQuaid certainly let his teammates know he intends to be a part of their lineup for longer than maybe it was previously expected.
"I think he did a great job," said fellow rugged defenseman Mark Stuart. "I think we were all into the game right away, but then to have that [fight], I think that got us going even more. I think that was definitely part of our good start. You've got to give him credit for helping us come out with our first goal."
So McQuaid has put his best foot, and fists, forward in an effort to keep getting a sweater from his coach.
"I mean, I guess it's in the back of my mind," said McQuaid. "When I'm playing I try not to worry too much about it. I think you can try and do too much when you're worrying about stuff like that. I definitely want to show that I was able to contribute. Hopefully … we will see what happens. It's out of my control."
