The Popular Honda Civic has Been Redesigned for the 2013 Model Year
Silko Honda is proud to be able to offer drivers the 2013 Honda Civic, which boasts significant changes over its predecessors.
First off, the 2013 Honda Civic has a much-upgraded interior. Materials are of higher quality. The center stack is remodeled with accents that resemble brushed aluminum. Now standard on the Civic is sophisticated technology like a 5-inch LCD display with a rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, and smartphone integration.
Outside, the Civic also gets upgraded styling. The grille and rear tail lights get tasteful polished chrome accents. The front fascia is more aggressive, with swooping lines and angular headlights. The new bent-spoke alloy wheels only help to increase the excitement factor.
Honda engineers also added a stiffer reinforced chassis. The change is designed to improve frontal-offset crash safety and scores in the corresponding Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's new crash test. In addition to safety, the stiffened body provides improved driving dynamics. Honda engineers were also able to improve the suspension system with new springs, struts, and an anti-roll bar, and they also added bigger brakes. These changes generally improve both handling and stopping performance.
To find out more about the redesigned 2013 Honda Civic, contact Silko Honda of Raynham. Silko Honda is a full-service dealership offering new and used auto sales, in addition to repair and maintenance services. Their dealership is located at 1580 New State Highway in Raynham, Massachusetts.

Same-sex marriages could resume in California as early as Thursday. All they're waiting on is word from the judge who over-turned the voter-approved ban.
This could be the day Eric Ross and his partner get to say "I do".
Judge Vaughn Walker is expected to announce Thursday whether same-sex marriages in California can resume immediately, or if couples will have to wait for a federal appeals court ruling.
Last week, he struck down the voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage known as Proposition 8, calling it unconstitutional. But Walker issued a temporary stay on the ruling while he heard arguments from both sides.
"If the stay is lifted [Thursday], we want to make sure we can get in and get married in case another stay gets put back on or it gets reversed," said Ross.
Currently same sex couples can legally marry in five states and Washington, D.C. But the ninth circuit court, where the case will be heard next, could make it legal in many more states.
That's the last thing supporters of the ban want.
Ron Prentice, chairman of ProtectMarriage.com, says he hears from angry Californians every day, upset their vote was reversed by what they call an "activist judge".
"He said moral values should have nothing to do with law," Prentice said. "Well they always have and they always will."
The case could eventually end up at the U.S. Supreme Court where a decision would impact the entire nation.

New Hope for North Korea - NKODAH
Kim Young
Dear players of North Korea,
I would like to inform you that the new North Korean Department started its work. The Department's full name is North Korean Department of Armament and Health (abbr. NKODAH). For now, I am the only member and all are welcomed. The organization is fully independent from the government.
North Korea is a small, but very important country in eRepublik. We all have to do our best in order to keep that Far Eastern Country safe and free. Unfortunately, some activities in the past ruined that freedom but we will do everything to return the state back on the path of victory.
For that reason I, as a leader of NKODAH, decided to do what must be done. Our goal is to give free food everyday (and weapons when we can) to all North Korean citizens. You are probably wondering where I got the supplies that I am going to give away to anyone that needs them. I have been gathering money for some time and I am willing to help the people of North Korea. For me, this is the best way to spend my money on, I want to share it with you – proud North Koreans.
I would like to ask the wealthier people from our country to join in by donating some funds to me or send them to the NKBB. Everything will be recorded and spent wisely!
How the items will be donated and who has right on his/her Health Pack?
There are a few things you need to do/have in order to get food.The steps you need to complete in order to get the food are the following :
1. Vote the article
2. Comment the article
3. Have North Korean citizenship
*and shouts are welcome
Additional Information
From now on we are gonna publish article every day, so check "Social interactions and entertainment" tab at press often.
It will be great if you add members to your friend list in order to communicate faster. Friend request can be completed in few seconds and it can save us valuable time. For all information or help you can contact me.
This is everything for now. I will keep you in touch with every single change.
Yours sincerely,
Kim Young, NKODAH leader

hi, I am a wordpress newbie :-) How configure this amazing plugin to display ALWAYS a popop (like "Thank you for your post") ONLY AFTER someone leaves a comment on ANY post of the blog? thank you ad sorry for my poor english, ciao
hi, I am a wordpress newbie :-) How configure this amazing plugin to display ALWAYS a popop (like "Thank you for your post") ONLY AFTER someone leaves a comment on ANY post of the blog? thank you ad sorry for my poor english, ciao
I just updated the Modal Dialog plugin to have an option for this. Check the box labeled "Display after new comment posted" on the dialog configuration page for the popup that should appear.
Version 2.2.3 contains this update. Let me know if this works for you.
And please mark this question as resolved if it does do the trick.
thanks for your quick response and for your kindness. I have selected "Display after new comment posted" but the popup is always displayed! on blog load, on every page/link I click...
here a screenshot with my config
My Modal Condfig
My test blog: http://www.revisionando.altervista.org
You would also need to check the 'Only show on specific pages and single posts' option and leave the 'Pages and posts to display Modal Dialog (empty for all, comma-separated IDs)' field empty for this to behave as you want it to.
thank you but I have already tryed it.... In this case I haven't the popup displayed after a post checking "Only show on specific pages and single posts" and "Pages and posts to display Modal Dialog" empty :-(
Could you take a screenshot of your Modal Dialog Settings and show it to me so I can make sure that everything is configured correctly. Can you tell me on which site you are trying this so that I could test it myself and see what is happening in the javascript code?
I am completely stumped by this one. I can kind of see in Firebug which element has a big white gap above it but I cannot figure for the life of me what is causing it in the site design. Perhaps you know people who are more knowledgeable in web design who could help with this?
ciao :-) here my setup
Whit this setting I have ALWAYS popup displayed everywhere and not after a post. thank you again
sorry, the blog to test is:
Can you try changing line 85 from:
$commentanchorpos = strpos($location, '#comment');
$commentanchorpos = strpos($location, '#comment-');
done (in you plugin) but I have always the "thank you" message displayed on every link where I click ("home", "about", "programma per chattare", etc,)!. I need to display "thank you" ONLY after a post. thank you for your hard work :-)
in every case how add manually your autoclose popup in the functions.php disabling you popup in the options?
I have added this line (copied...) to go to top of page after a post
add_filter('comment_post_redirect', 'redirect_after_comment');
function redirect_after_comment($location)
return $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
now I need something this:
add_filter('comment_post_redirect', 'redirect_after_comment');
function redirect_after_comment($location)
AutoclosePopup("Thank you for your post",2500); < 2500 = 2.5 seconds >
return $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
Sorry for the lack of response. Are you still having problems with Modal dialog or have you figured out a way to get it working right for you? I was not clear from your last post above.
hi :-) no, it's doesn't work. I have the popup displayed on every page load with every modal config. I haven't found any plugin that is right for me on wordpress... I thought it was a simple thing... Thanks for your interest

An intertemporal capital asset pricing model with heterogeneous expectations
This paper extends the intertemporal capital asset pricing model (ICAPM) to integrate the heterogeneous trading behavior of three groups of investors; rational utility maximizers, positive feedback, or momentum, traders, and fundamental traders. Using several contemporary fundamental factors to proxy for the latter of these investors' trading patterns, the interaction of these three groups of investors is explored in the G-7 markets using monthly stock market prices. There is no evidence that positive feedback traders are present in the sample data. Fundamental traders are however observable. This finding suggests that although positive feedback traders may drive stock prices in the short-run, as is typically observed in higher frequency data, fundamental traders likely play a role in pushing prices back to their fundamental value in the longer-run.

Who can name this game from the late 90s?
I played it in 1998-1999, using my PC with a 3DFX card. The character was controlled from a first-person perspective in 3D, and the game was very immersive - you were walking around a planet, with grass and water. There were bunny-like animals that wandered up to you; you could kill them (though that wasn't the point of the game). That's just about all I can recall. Any ideas, guys?

Polaroid pc-compatible printer (early 2000s, late 90s?)
Has anyone heard of or owned a vintage Polaroid printer that printed directly from a computer onto standard Polaroid stuff (not sure if 600 or SX-70). I'm trying to locate one for maybe experimenting with Impossible stock. Unfortunately, in the years since, Polaroid has made a ton of newer printers for smartphones etc and it's very hard to find with just the vague memory of when it came out. Any help would be appreciated.
What was this computer-refereed board game about space I played in 1992?
I remember going to someone's house for regular sessions of this very long game about a quest for something that had to do with aliens, spaceships and weird planets. The defining thing about the game was that your Windows PC computer kept track of what was going on, even though you spent a lot of time reading passages the computer assigned you to read, from cards or a book. So it had this hybrid aspect reminiscent of VCR games.

How to use ios Duet display as primary display for my PC on a stick?
Hi all, I have a Lenovo 'PC on a stick'. It runs windows 10 and I would like to use my iPad as a primary display for it using the Duet app on iOS but it seems like in order to connect you have to go in and activate Duet on the PC first - which is a sort of catch 22 because I need a display in order to do that.

It was a RPG game on PC, around 1989. Futuristic, dystopic. I'm quite sure the main character was called 'Mike' something, a grizzled fella. There were several scenes in smoky bars. That's all I have to go on, in the absence of some epiphany. Any ideas guys?
How do I know which Graphics Card I can upgrade to? (AMD Processor)
Hi MeFi, I have a PC I bought in 2012 and it has served me well for past years, however, it skips/lags when it comes to 1080p/4k video. I am looking to upgrade to a better card but unsure what factors I have to consider before upgrading. I mostly do video editing + motion media. The machine is as follows: Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) CPU: AMD FX-8150 (Zambezi 32nm Technology) Motherboard: Gigabyte 2AC8 Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7570 2gb RAM: 16gb Is there a site that will let me figure out which GFX card(s) my machine is upgradable to? Thanks in advance!
Help me smoothly say farewell to Microsoft and Windows
So, I am finally giving up my last personal connection to Microsoft, my home PC running Windows 7 Home Premium, and switching to a really gorgeous iMac.

And what do you recommend for smoothly getting my data (photos, documents, Quicken file, etc.) from my PC to my new Mac? And is there anything else you would advise I do as I make the transition? Many thanks.

Computer power efficiency question. Does this technical solution exist?
I have, over time, acquired a handful of external USB hard drives. Terabytes full of stuff... The problem being, I don't really want to pay to have them on all the time, if I don't need them. It occurs to me it would be nice to have a simple, elegant way of having your computer keep an index, of sorts, of what you store on your external devices, even if those devices aren't powered up... and then having it either power the device up, or prompt you to do so, in order to access the files you need. Is there a Windows-friendly solution for something like this?

Molecular diagnostics company PrimeraDx has forged a nonexclusive co-development agreement with diagnostics information services company Quest Diagnostics to co-develop and commercialize molecular diagnostic products and services with a focus on supporting clinical development of targeted therapeutics for drug developers.
Quest Diagnostics will have rights to use the PrimeraDx ICEPlex platform to independently develop and use laboratory tests in early-phase biomarker and drug development studies and clinical trials with biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical device clients of Quest Diagnostics Clinical Trials, a business of Quest Diagnostics. PrimeraDx will also have rights to develop and market in vitro diagnostic products.
In addition, Quest Diagnostics will have rights to validate and offer clinical diagnostic information services based in part on the assays created during drug development as aids in making treatment decisions for those drugs that are successfully commercialized and FDA approved for clinical use.
PrimeraDx launched the ICEPlex system in August 2011 and says the system can simultaneously detect and quantify disparate target types, such as mRNA, miRNA, SNPs, DNA mutations, fusions, and DNA methylation. The firm claims that the platform's ability to characterize complex molecular changes makes it well suited to research and development for diseases, such as cancer, that involve systemic or multiple molecular changes. The ICEPlex system received the CE mark in September of last year and was the focus of a similar companion diagnostics collaboration with Eli Lilly back in June.
The companies expect to direct their initial collaborations on cancer, although they may also explore opportunities in infectious diseases, genetics, and other conditions.

AbstractDESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this program is to create miniature, low-power neural signal recording headstages with short-range digital RF telemetry. These systems will provide untethered recording capabilities for up to 128 extracellular microelectrodes for animals as small as mice and rats, and up to 256 channels for larger animals. The systems will also allow recording of both local field potentials and extracellular spikes. The devices will use an innovative combination of custom analog ASIC and commercial digital components. In Phase I, the feasibility of the technical approach will be demonstrated by building functional 32-channel systems. In Phase II, these devices will be finished as products for the neuroscience research community. The final base station receiver will be highly programmable to allow use of the system with stand-alone PCs and/or other third-party neural signal processing systems. The real-time interface and PC processing software will be made available as Open Source to facilitate easy customization. These systems will improve the convenience of neuroscience experiments with microelectrode arrays, and enable data from large numbers of electrodes to be collected in free-moving and behaving animals. This project will indirectly support public health by improving the flexibility, quality and efficiency of experiments used for neuroscience and neuroprosthesis research.

QUEBEC - Western hemisphere leaders ratified a plan Saturday barring undemocratic nations from a massive free trade zone they hoped will expand prosperity across their 34 nations. For a second day, protesters clashed with nightstick-wielding police who fired water cannons and rubber bullets.
Rock-throwing protesters tried unsuccessfully to tear down a chain-link security fence surrounding the summit site. Inside its perimeter, President Bush and other leaders sought to address demonstrators' wildly varying grievances with the Summit of the Americas.
"Together, let us go forward to build an age of prosperity in a hemisphere of liberty," Bush said.
Protests continued into the night, leaving an acrid mist of tear gas hanging in the air as the leaders and their spouses gathered at the Congress Centre for a late dinner and entertainment.
Secretary of State Colin Powell said he wasn't bothered by the fumes.
"It didn't affect me, but an old infantryman always remembers what tear gas and pot smell like when you walk into the barracks," Powell told reporters.
"We knew there were some people who wanted to come and stop us," Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien said. "But look what happened. We discussed democracy. We have a clause on democracy. We have discussed all the elements that are needed to help the 800 million people living in the Americas to prosper in the future."
The so-called "democracy clause" would suspend the benefits of a free trade zone from any country that ceases to be a democracy. Cuba was the only nation in the Western Hemisphere excluded from the three-day summit because it is not democratic.
The leaders gathered in a conference room with two large-screen televisions, a gleaming horseshoe-shaped conference table and decorative, potted green ferns - a stark contrast to the scene outside, where police used tear gas, nightsticks and water cannons to wash protesters away from the portion of the security fence that was breached Friday.
Police said about 30,000 protesters crowded around the summit site, with 2,000 growing violent. In two days of unrest, 34 police officers and 57 demonstrators were injured. At least 150 arrests were made, police said.
As demonstrators protested against the trade zone, the leaders argued, one-by-one in the conference room, that expanded trade would buoy a variety of social causes.
Bush said democracies would take root. President Miguel Angel Rodriguez of Costa Rica said tiny economies like his would flourish. Colombian President Andres Pastrana said his country would be better equipped to fight drug trafficking.
"Colombia, like all countries which have seen the seeds of the drug trade grow in its soil, needs the possibility of fair and open trade that will allow it to steer its economy in the right direction and confront the new imbalance caused by globalization," Pastrana said.
On the chaotic streets outside, protesters voiced an array of complaints, ranging from their inability to attend the summit to AIDS treatment in poorer countries and the perils of globalization and free trade. "Trade equals tyranny!" was scribbled in red on a downtown business wall.
Inside the summit meeting hall, leaders of nations large and small debated how to reap the economic fruits of a barrier-free trade zone from Alaska to Argentina without leaving the poor behind or weakening fledgling democracies. Today, they plan to release a draft of their plan, which calls for the trade zone by 2005.
In a conciliatory note to the protesters, the biggest proponents of free trade acknowledged the down sides.
Mexican President Vicente Fox, whose nation joined Canada and the United States in a 1994 free-trade pact, said the benefits of lower tariffs help economies but can bypass the poor.
"There is a lot to celebrate, but there is also a lot to lament," Fox said. "We need a strong expansion of economic citizenship, to democratize the markets. Only by doing that can we develop the energy of the millions who have been excluded from economic development."
St. Lucia Prime Minister Kenny Anthony said globalization has "brought prosperity to some, but we cannot deny it has destroyed the lives of others. ... Until the hemisphere as a whole can enjoy the fruits of trade liberalization, we cannot proclaim its glory; until all the peoples of the Americas are free from hunger and fear of unemployment, we cannot celebrate the benefits of trade liberalization."
Even Bush felt compelled to offer a new South and Central American program to help modernize judicial institutions, protect basic human rights and root out corruption.,
"Free and open trade creates new jobs and new income. It lifts the lives of our people," Bush said.

EEOC Rules Transgender Employees Are Protected Under Title VII
In a ground breaking decision reversing its own precedent, the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) ruled that discrimination against transgender individuals is prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII). Macy v. Holder Appeal No. 0120120821 (April 20, 2012). Title VII prohibits employment discrimination based on sex but does not expressly prohibit discrimination on the basis of transsexualism or gender identity. The EEOC's ruling stated that intentionally discriminating against an individual based on gender identity, change of sex, and/or transgender status is a form of sex discrimination, and thus, actionable under Title VII. The EEOC's decision arose out of the case of Mia Macy ("Macy"), a transgender woman who alleges that she was denied a job at a federal agency after she revealed that she was in the process of transitioning from a male to a female. After filing a formal discrimination complaint with the agency that denied her employment application, Macy appealed to the EEOC for a ruling on a jurisdictional issue: whether a gender identity/transgender discrimination claim qualified as a claim of sex discrimination under Title VII. It is important to note that unlike cases involving private employers, the EEOC can issue a formal ruling here because the Commission serves in an appellate capacity regarding equal employment determinations by federal agency employers. The Commission unanimously agreed with Macy that her entire claim is subject to Title VII's ban on discrimination on the basis of sex. Primarily relying on the U.S. Supreme Court's seminal opinion in Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins and its progeny, the Commission reasoned that transgender discrimination is "related to the sex of the victim," and thus actionable under Title VII. According to the EEOC, claims for sex discrimination include discrimination based on the failure to conform to gender-based stereotypes, discrimination against a person because he or she is transgender, and discrimination based on the transition of an individual from one sex to another. Thus, the EEOC concluded that Macy's complaint alleging discrimination based on her transgender status states a claim upon which relief can be granted under Title VII. The EEOC's decision signals a turning point in this area of law on a nationwide level. While the EEOC's ruling in this case is directly binding only on federal agencies, private employers will nevertheless feel its impact. The EEOC undoubtedly will treat any allegation of transgender discrimination as unlawful sex discrimination in litigation and enforcement proceedings across its 53 field offices, and employers — even those operating in states with existing statutory protections for transgendered employees — will likely see an increase in federal claims of discrimination by employees on the basis of gender identity. Currently, the First, Sixth, and Ninth Circuits have issued decisions holding that transgendered individuals, or more broadly, gender non-conforming individuals, are protected from discrimination under Title VII. Employers should also note that several states, including California, Illinois, D.C., New Jersey, and New York, have laws offering varying degrees of protection to transgendered individuals in employment. In this new environment, employers should consider taking the following actions:

Who's Lighting the Fire?
A look into the importance of initiating sex.
WebMD Feature
Be honest. In your romantic relationship, who usually initiates sex? You? Your partner. Or do you both take turns?
Your answer may be linked to how sexually satisfied you are, according to a study by Susan Sprecher, PhD, a professor of sociology at Illinois State University, Normal. Sexual satisfaction was greater, she found, in relationships in which partners initiated equally or in which women sometimes initiated sex.
Sprecher tracked 38 college-educated couples (28 of them were married) in their twenties over a four-year period, asking each partner at the beginning and then every year thereafter, "Who usually initiates sexual activity in your relationship?" and "How sexually satisfying is the relationship to you?" Throughout the study, partners' responses to the first question agreed to a high level, suggesting that both were being truthful.
The Results
Among the findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology:
In more than 60% of the couples, men initiated more often than women; in 30% of couples, initiation was equally divided between partners; and in those remaining, the women initiated more frequently. Like other similar studies, Sprecher says she found that men usually suggest having sex more often than do their wives or girlfriends.

Comments about 'Ask Angela: I'm 24 and I think I'm headed to a divorce'
- Oldest first

Angela gives great advice. I came up with a couple of questions reading the "Newly Wed's" letter. Had her husband finished his degree? If so, did he go through a period of optimism looking for a job that faded when one could not be found? Although the unemployment rate has fallen, the labor-force participation rate has fallen as well. The job market remains weak, especially for new college grads.

How long did they date before they got married? How well did she know him?
Divorce is frequently the result of marrying too young, not dating long enough to get to know the person you're tying yourself to. It sounds like he's not mature enough to be a husband.
She is right about one thing, certainly: they didn't have kids together.

I'm interested what her husband's expects of himself. How does he
perceive his role in the marriage? Does he feel like he's carrying his own
weight? In short, does he even recognize his problem? Or is he comfortable with
his behavior?
I rarely favor of divorce unless abuse or infidelity is involved. The symptoms described in the article are more indicative of someone who is discouraged, who has lost confidence. But why? It could be the tough economy. It could be unfulfilled dreams or expectations. It could be sin, such as pornography. Any of those could cause the best of men to lose confidence in himself. He sounds to me like someone who needs help pulling himself out of a deep hole, not a fatally flawed person who should be tossed on the scrap heap.
In my mind, the wife's role is "good cop." Love him, don't nag him. Someone else (a parent, in-law, sibling, friend, church leader, in some cases a professional counselor) needs to play "bad cop" and help him see himself clearly. If the wife does it, there will always be residual damage that mars their relationship.

The other side of this argument is if this young married woman discovers that her husband isn't doing the basic things and won't do them, it is better to leave now and start over because she has no children. She is still young enough to find someone who is motivated.

I am leaning toward joe5's point of view that the husband is probably
discouraged for some reason. The cycle of computer games and laziness may be his
way to escape reality and avoid confronting the underlying problems head on.
What may be the source of discouragement (assuming this is the problem)? Did he lose a job or have a hard time finding one recently? What were his expectations of married life that may not be getting met in his eyes?
Some open conversation is in order, but both husband + wife will need to try to be non-accusative since things rarely get resolved in the spirit of contention.
And the small things that help: Are you two praying together? Do you hold family home evening as a couple? Are you going on dates? Are you reading scriptures? Do you serve in the church? Do you strive to keep the commandments?
I want to say to the wife to not blame yourself. I am sure you're a wonderful woman and wife, but marriage has a lot of growing pains. Try to soften your husband's heart so you two can have an honest discussion to improve things.

Definitely talk to your bishop. If your husband is spending all day on the computer, he may have a problem with pornography as well. Are you home all day or is he alone most of the day? Whether the problem is depression or addiction, he needs help. Divorce isn't the answer unless you have fasted and prayed about it and feel that it is the best decision.

The one big problem I see with young couples that reoccurs as they get older if
they don't address it, is being afraid to admit that adult life decisions
are harder than they thought and that they need to ask for help and advice
before it gets worse. They get too embarrassed, or they think their
"role" should come more naturally to them
(mother/provider/wife/husband), or they don't want to appear less
capable/successful and its an ego or confidence problem, especially if his wife
is working successfully and he is not. Maybe he is scared of having kids and
figures this passive agressive method will keep that reality from closing in.
Some people have big dreams and plans but struggle following through and
completing things.
Talk to your Bishop. See if he can talk to your husband. Maybe get the ward employment specialist on the task. Close family or friends can step in where appropriate, or can provide some background to his personality and motivations before you knew him. See if your husband will do volunteer work with you out in the community (this can help broaden his networks).

I agree with Angela abut starting with your Bishop then counselor...if finances are a problem ANY Bishop will cover that to help the marriage...on the OTHER hand...I ALSO agree with the comment referring to pornography. Sister, it's possible you're an enabler(I'm the worlds best enabler)and he's all talk(before marriage)and all no do after. IF Bishop/counselor doesn't result in some permanent improvement(which may take time)DON'T wait forever to get on with your life, as was mentioned above.If you discover you are an enabler GET HELP with your own counseling BEFORE you try another relationship.

It's worse than being a single parent... with prayer and consulting your bishop, of course. But the choice is yours and your responsibility

Is he depressed? That line about him climbing back into bed sounds as though he
is. Does he play computer games ALL day? This doesn't sound to me like
someone who 'loves his computer games' as Angie says.
Yes, bishops are wonderful, but some things need professional help. Go to a therapist. I know plenty of relationships where the wife does everything or the husband does everything and the marriages are not equally yoked partnerships. It's painful for everyone involved (including children--and it teaches them this behavior). If this isn't depression but a life choice, leave.
The idea that someone else should play bad cop and the wife just be the support is wrong. This husband knows what's going on--even if he is depressed.
Please remember, divorce CAN be an answer. It may not be a pleasant option, but if he refuses to change, know you have choices. Sometimes getting out is better than prolonging the inevitable. And yes, marriage is hard. Life is hard. But it's impossible to have a happy marriage when only one of you is trying.

I heard a story about a girl that has a few months to live. She was laying in the snow making a snow angle. She said we are like snow flakes, only hear for a little whale, The only thing we can control is our impact, the impression and to inspire others to build on.

A lot of unemployed people are depressed. I've noticed that men,
especially, are more likely to shut themselves off from other people when they
are in this situation. His behaviors probably don't have anything to do
with the wife but are his way of dealing with his depression. He needs help and
will probably not seek it on his own. The best thing could be a male mentor, in
his work field maybe, to talk to him and make him feel like he has something
valuable to offer, help him network and brainstorm ideas for a job search. Maybe
a Bishop or Elder's Quorum president could help find such a person. For the
wife, too, focus on building his self-confidence rather than pointing out what
he's doing wrong. He probably already knows what he's doing wrong.
A good book to read: How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It. It is mostly about how men and women are different--this reaction to unemployment is a pretty male reaction and it could be helpful to a wife to understand it better, as well as understanding her own responses better.

Having been divorced I can say from experience it is painful but not the end of your life. Counseling is a must. We all make mistakes and are capable of repenting and moving forward. There are many singles in the church who yearn for the intimacy and yes even struggles that marriage can bring.

The husbands actions make him seem like a real bum. Is there a chance that he
is clinically depressed? Marriage is tough and often is a trigger for mental
illness. If this is a possibility, look into professional help.
In the meantime, it sounds like this is a fortunate man ... his wife still would like to stay with him. Individual counseling as well as marriage counseling would help both individuals to define expectations, set reasonable limits and freedoms, and most importantly support a decision that is best for both the individuals and the marriage.

I went through the exact same thing, you are not alone. Addictions and depression often affect people in ways that make it so they can't function like a normal person. I remember looking at my (now ex) husband and thinking, "Why is it so hard to apply for a job" or "Why can't you actually DO what you say you are going to do". What I didn't understand was that he was a raging pornography addict and clinically depressed. My guess is, he wasn't like this before you got married, but has slowly fell into this rut. Addiction fogs minds and makes lessons the ability to perceive right from wrong. I'm sorry to say it, because it is a hard journey, but until your husband confronts addiction and depression, he won't have the ability to be the husband you married. I would start educating yourself about addiction. There are tons of great sites and books out there that will give you the insights you need to help you figure out the path forward. Good Luck to you!

What is there really to save here? They don't have any kids and probably
have very few assets. The guy sounds listless and it's the same tired tripe
of telling the wife to be "supportive".
24 is a great time to get divorced. You've been able to see what doesn't work, but you're still young enough to make a better choice.
She can even go back to grad school or finish her own degree if she hasn't. Regardless of this guys goals and ambitions, she should have backup plans of her own.
The marriage is already failed, she's no longer his wife and has become his mother.

Trust your gut on this -a 2 year long marriage is a long time to make up your mind if you should stay or cut your loses and move on. Love alone is not enough to make a marriage work. He might have had a mental breakdown but are you willing to stick around to deal with it every time it come back? I don't think bishop's route is the right course to take because his advice will tend to be one sided- bishop is your spiritual leader- he will never advice to break the marriage even if that's the best action for the two of you.

My number one concern is how my relationship with the Lord is and what HE wants me to do. I can't "fix" another person, but I can work on my relationship with HIM, and seek His Will. Any 12 step group asks that we spend quiet time and prayer and meditation. My husband was addicted to pornography, was a sexaholic, etc. I fasted and prayed for years and asked for Heavenly Father's Will. We are still married after 32 years of marriage, and I am in S-Anon a 12 step group for wives that are married to sexaholics. We have both grown enormously. In my experience, if the wife does not get help for herself and inventory why she attracted a man or relationships along the same line, then she will keep attracting the same kind of person. I had to inventory all my relationships and I found out I was dating the same kind of men, that I could care take and fix and "help". It is in constant prayer and inventory that my life has changed, not in pointing fingers at him and wringing my hands. That is a recipe for insanity.

Skip the bishop and head straight to a good qualified marriage counselor. Most
bishops are well meaning. But unless yours is a psychologist for his day job,
he should not become involved. Your husband will feel like you and the bishop
are ganging up on him (or that you went to tattle) and he'll become
defensive. I know that counseling is expensive, but you get what you pay for.
Christmas Carole:
If he does have a pornography addiction, which is completely separate from video games, then that is sometime that needs to be addressed. But she does not deserve to be called an "enabler". She's already feeling bad for being a supposed "nag" (by asking the question: Are you going to get a job?). We don't need to add "enabler" to that. Either label is unfair.

He sounds depressed and addicted to video games. A real problem. They both need counseling. Divorce could be an option. I would go to the bishop to let him know that you need help and then make an appointment with a license therapist. A bishop may or may not have the skills necessary to deal with this issue. And if the answer is divorce then do it and do it before you get kids. Don't be his mom or his "cop". Forcing him to interact with you will not help the relationship. GET to therapy so you can find out why you stay in a relationship that is giving you nothing. LOVE is not enough.

By 103rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary)October 8, 2010
JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq- Soldiers with the 298th Support Maintenance Company, 13th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 3rd Sustainment Brigade, 103rd Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), communications and electronics shop focus their efforts to ensure Soldiers are ready for critical missions.
The section is divided into two major shops: night vision device repair and communication repair. Both teams concentrate their service to ensure that the eyes and ears on convoys and other critical missions are fully operational.
The night vision device repair section diagnoses and repairs most night vision devices, and performs annual services on them. They even fabricated a dark room to better diagnose and protect the light-sensitive components of the devices.
"The high resolution/low resolution testing is more accurate in a dark room, and it does not impact other operations in the shop," said Spc. Eric Hall, a computer detection system repair technician with the 298th SMC, and a Trion, Ga., native.
Spc. Jarrail Dodson, a computer detection system repair technician, and a Fort Worth, Texas, native said that vision is a "key asset" to mission success, so the team's job in the repair shop is important. "We repair and/or replace all faults. The night vision devices have lots of small pieces that can break easily."
The night vision device repair team not only repair small pieces, but also everything from battery housings to broken knobs, ensuring the devices are safe. Additionally, they purge the devices with nitrogen gas.
"Purging protects the internal components and keeps [the devices] running," said Spc. James Weldon, a computer detection system repair technician with the 298th SMC, and a Gainesville, Ga., native.
The communication repair section focuses on any type of communication equipment from Single Channel Ground to Air Radio Systems (SINGARS), to headsets and vehicle intercommunication (VIC) systems. The section sees many different types of equipment, including six versions of SINGARS and multiple radio software. They use automated test equipment to diagnose and determine the root causes of any problem.
The company offers a headset exchange program, which allows units with broken headsets to walk into the shop and exchange the broken headset with a refurbished one. Units can have their communication systems operational within a few minutes.
"Many customers think the whole system is messed up, but it could just be one headset," said Spc. Donovan L. Manguba-Glover, a radio and communications security repair technician with the 298th SMC, and a Wahiawa, Hawaii, native.
The section also provides convoy support. Any type of communication issue can be assessed by the section and over 80 percent of the time repaired within a few hours. They ensure that antennas are emplaced for maximum effectiveness without impacting the mission.
The tedious job of ensuring the communications system in a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle is critical, as errors in the wiring or plugs could cause the entire system to malfunction.
"We make sure the job gets done before the mission," said Spc. William B. Adams, a computer detection system repair technician with the 298t SMC, and an Atlanta native. "If you come in and tell us you have a mission in four hours, we don't stop working until the job is complete."

Politics Like Rapid Transit and Taxes on Plastic Shopping Bags and Removing Elevated Downtown Freeways and Replacing them With Boulevards…
posted by April 7 at 10:30 AMon
…this could never work here. Because, you know, our terrain is too hilly and our downtown would die and our poor people really, really need those plastic shopping bags and in general the very, very special uniqueness of absolutely everything about our very, very special region means, of course, that things that work elsewhereeven things that work everywhere elsecould never, ever work here. But this seems like an idea worth discussing at least:
Pittsburghers complain about the failure to change with the times, but the release of a citizens report on the need for the city and Allegheny County to pursue a merger is a powerful impetus to get moving in the right direction. The long-awaited report, from a committee headed by University of Pittsburgh Chancellor Mark Nordenberg, assessed the bureaucratic duplication, the administrative overlap and the economic roadblocks that stem from too many layers of local government. It is not exactly a new idea.
Once again, the people of Allegheny County are asked if they want to move to a form of government that is not only modern and streamlined, but also holds the promise of greater efficiency and even some savings…. The Nordenberg report advances three broad recommendations that allow citizens to fill in the details: the county executive and the mayor should intensify their efforts toward cooperation that enhances efficiency; the city and county should sign a formal cooperation compact to ensure that such partnership continues in the future; and the question of city-county consolidation should be placed before the voters as soon as possible.

Stereophonic acoustic echo cancellation has generated much interest in recent years due to the nonuniqueness and misalignment problems that are caused by the strong interchannel signal coherence. In this paper, we introduce a novel adaptive filtering approach to reduce interchannel coherence which is based on a selective-tap updating procedure. This tap-selection technique is then applied to the normalized least-mean-square, affine projection and recursive least squares algorithms for stereophonic acoustic echo cancellation. Simulation results for the proposed algorithms have shown a significant improvement in convergence rate compared with existing techniques.
