Skip to comments.7 Reasons Marriage Is Falling Apart in America
Posted on 04/06/2013 7:32:02 AM PDT by Kaslin

It appears that Hollywood is the seat of Satan's power. It is full of willing subjects.
"...Propaganda is a scientific fact..
I have no idea what Logans Run is, however I do know that this country is brain washed to the extent that they are oblivious.
Thanks,what I can't figure out is why the my daughter's 30 something friends are afraid to be mother's.They have told me this.
"Its falling apart because its very legally disadvantageous to men."
That's right, and our aging spinsters will shake their fists at the men who won't marry them while insisting on keeping those laws in place.
In may area the only people breeding are immigrants; the whites that bother to get married get his and hers dogs...
The article is right in the first sentence; this is not something unfolding at some future point; it is happening NOW, and the political ramifications are frightening.
"Thanks,what I cant figure out is why the my daughters 30 something friends are afraid to be mothers.They have told me this."
They'll have to focus on something more important than themselves, and the commitment is for the rest of their lives. It is a lot easier to spend money on yourself, raise an animal instead, and complain about the proliferation of dark people jabbering in strange tongues in your old neighborhoods...
"...that which is ubiquitous is deemed less valuable..."
The women gave it up - why did they do it? the rare thing they had, their feminine value, the women in power threw out. They echanged their true value for nothing.
"The demise of this county has already happened."
Absolutely; I've said for years that the demographic nightmare is here NOW, not 40 years down the road. In my area, Americans are disappearing and being replaced by Asians and Hispanics; pregnant whites are rarely seen, while nearly 1/3 of Hispanic females over 16 seem to be pregnant (and showing).
Neither party will defend Americans (even within their own constituencies); the Repubs selling out the white middle class has been matched by Dems selling out the black permanent underclass.
"...Americans are disappearing ...."
See my post#19. I was astounded by the Mexican children in this incubator house. I suppose I was niave because I knew about it intellectually per se, now I saw it in real life.
We are done. To quote you - the Dems have sold out to make the black the permanent underclass. The permanent dem plantation.
Lest I sound racist - look at the Irish not hired in the 20's/30's!!! Irish need not apply - not permanent victim statuS !!!
I'm there...
You nailed it. The article is OK, but it failed to mention the #1 reason why marriages are failing.
And that is the family is under attack by our government. From the divorce courts, from the welfare agencies, from the same-sex marriage laws, from the overturning of DOMA, and a thousand other laws, policies and regulations stemming back from the onset of the Great Society - Our government is dead-set on destroying the backbone of our culture; that is the family.
Sure there are a ton of cultural and social ills like pornography and the homosexual agenda. But none of these would be nearly effective as they are if it were not for a willing and powerful government.
"It's the fault of Wal-Mart and McDonalds."
It is their fault!! They created this mess!!
1) Government policies
2) Public schools
3) Universities
"...Not only the programs, but also the commercials.."
Avoid TV - unwatchable for the discerning.
I don't know why they did it. I'm a single man and wish I could find a woman like that in my age group. Almost to a person they do not value romance and chivalry and expect to be jumped on the first date. I guess I'm odd for a guy, but I find that both distasteful and disgusting.
Well, I wish there were more men like you.
With Obamacare coming, and possibly seeing the prospect of loosing employer health coverage it would possibly be best not to be married.
Since she works part time, she would be able to get fully subsidized coverage from the gov't and if we have a child, he/she would be covered under her Obamacare policy.
I would just pay the fine for not having any until I need it then sign up.
The prospect of having to pay $25,000/yr for a plan to cover a family would be about 1/3 my take home salary and leave hardly anything else for mortgage/bills/etc...
I can see the divorce rate go way up after Obamacare as people won't be able to afford care and companies drop coverage and pay the "fine".
What followed:
The Pill.
Vatican II.
"Women's liberation." "Free to Be You and Me." (Remember that one?)
Roe v. Wade.
The world I entered as an adult is a very bleak landscape.
I cringe when I hear a woman refer to her live-in male companion as her "partner" as if it's some bloodless business arrangement.
I walk by an Arthur Murray Dance Studio and wonder if they still have any business.
I remember when ladies wore hats and gloves, and men wore suits and ties, and opened doors for ladies and walked curbside to protect them.
I remember when marriage (man and woman marriage, so sorry I have to define what has been traditional!) was something to cherish and look forward to.
I remember when a date was supposed to end with a kiss under the porch light.
Silly me.
I liked the "incubator" reference; too true.
Welfare was reformed because the breeding of suburban Americans starting resembling that of the permanent urban underclass; now all Americans are subsidizing the "replacement Americans", not needed for workers so much as students in our classrooms and consumers (not producers) of other "services".
Nope, I'm different. The different are culled from the herd and (according to conventional wisdom) destroyed. This man, though, won't go without a fight for right.
5) Hollywood/TV
6) Popular Music
100% of all divorces started in marriage.
Being told the majority of things I do are wrong (cooking, cleaning, etc) I am at the point of why bother?
The Caucasian male is the butt of most jokes, the imbecile, the bigot, the liar, cheater, drunk, murdering rapist pedophile. We get that treatment on TV, radio, work, and now at home. Is there any wonder why American men are marrying foreign women?
If anything happened to my American wife, I can safely say I would never marry another American.
I have no idea what Logans Run is, however I do know that this country is brain washed to the extent that they are oblivious.
Logans Run—>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WUUnc1M0TA
Dr. Laura used to tell women to find a guy who'd swim through shark-infested waters to bring them a lemonade.
I love my husband.
He's put up with me for 37 years.
The man's a saint.
"...we conservatives need to push back harder..."
It is way too late for push back. We have to lead and it has to be our teens/early twenties who can do it.
I am skeptical - very few can raise their children against this grain. Good luck to all
Post of the day!!!! Mine has put up with me for 35!!!
I've seen many of my friends dumped by their wives when they found boyfriends they considered less boring or more prosperous.
And therein is the problem. After a divorce I was ruined financially for 15 years. I had zero say in any of it. I lived in the "hood" because I couldn't afford better, drove a POS car because I simply couldn't afford better, and if I had the temerity to purchase a newer car my CS payments went up in the equal amount to the loan amount. Almost zero contact with my kids. Zero prospects for a girlfriend since I had no disposable income for things like "dates". Ivy League educated Engineer/Project Manager and I had less than two nickels to rub together
Not that I wouldn't have gotten married again, there were no takers at that time, and a girlfriend would have been grounds to raise the CS even further.
Absolutely correct - I might reverse or adjust the order though.
Little correction of my last comment here. See the outrageous saturation of our society with immorality,...
Modern marriage is often just the first stage of divorce. After the wife initiates the second "formal divorce" stage, the man learns that when he chose to marry he also unintentionally agreed to subjugate himself to a series of feminist judges in the family court system. If there are kids, that subjugation continues for many years after the marriage is gone. Eventually chump-hubby learns to call the ongoing nightmare his "life."
Strangely enough, those men tell their friends, and word gets around.
—>>>I can tell you why. The most publicized and/or influential '60s counter-culture kids were the children of the crop of the most influential constituents before them. They were bound to be in influential positions. It's not all merit-based ("who you know"). The moral slide was gradual at first and not so much noticed, then accelerated. Notice what the moral slide has done to potential new competition (crushed scattered families, regulations, "free" trade, political correctness and so on).
Great comments and so agree. Thank you for sharing with me.
As with many things, government is much to blame. When government took over caring for people (social security, medicare, medicaid, welfare), then families were no longer a means of financial support. Now with the army of counselors and do-gooders, families aren't even expected to provide emotional support. Uncle Sam has become husband, daddy, and caretaker of our elderly. Not going well, is it?
I've seen exactly this with several of my close friends. Now, every day I come home and my clothes aren't in a pile in the driveway, I THANK GOD, and give my wife a BIG hug.
Honestly... given what she COULD have gotten? I don't know why she didn't leave me. I think, I would have left me... :-(
I have two sons... and, I have VERY mixed feeling about whether or not I want them to marry. I have taught them one thing for sure: Getting "married" doesn't really change your life that much.. you just know who your date is. Having CHILDREN.. CHANGES EVERYTHING... It's a 21 year economic contract.. that may, or may not involve being able to enjoy your children.
Anymore... ? I'm not sure the risks are worth it. I feel EXTREMELY LUCKY, after 30 years of marriage... but, it's STILL a day-to-day thing.
My first was in 1977... it finally happened after about 6 MONTHS of progressively heavier petting.. and begging, and groveling....I must have rounded 20 bases trying to get home!
In the end, I didn't marry that one...
A few years later, my wife gave way MUCH quicker.... about 1 1/2 hours after we first touched one another. But then, we'd been "friends" for 7+ years...so, I guess she COULD claim a longer time. She STILL fires me up quickly! :-)
Be careful who you marry.
Personally, I think it is because we subsidize bastardy.
BTW: No Irish Need Apply signs have never been historically documented.
Im in my late forties, so I saw Logans run way back when. It was the canary in the coal mine. It accurately describes what our society has become. The only thing that it doesnt accurately portray is the whole hand crystal thing. There wont be security forces terminating runners. People will self-terminate. With the majority of Americans unprepared for retirement (yes we all get too old to work), the younger generation unable to find work, and the destruction of the family, there will be no way to survive. Suicide will become the norm. The great social programs are all going bankrupt. 17 trillion of national debt increased yearly by trillion dollar deficits). 80 to 100 trillion in unfunded liabilities (SS, Medicare, public sector pensions) and 1.2 quadrillion (1000 trillion) in derivatives (next ephemeral wealth bubble getting ready to burst). I was born at the beginning of the sexual revolution and have witnessed first-hand the beginning to end destruction brought about by progressive ideals. I dont blame any political party. I blame we the people. Weve destroyed ourselves. Our political leaders were voted in by us. They reflect our collective values (or lack thereof). If you chose to live your life responsibly, youll be the one to pay the highest price. Disillusionment is the state of being freed of illusions, enchantments and false beliefs.
A whole generation of young people will look back someday and notice they had no real childhood, no real innocent childhood sweethearts, no real romances-just meaningless hookups and nothing to have fond memories about....
I dont think they will be too happy about it
So true, when the beauty and thrill of youth fades, the reality of adulthood will come crashing down.....

On October 15, everyone in the world vanished. Well, almost everyone. Some were left behind, attempting to piece together what happened, find their loved ones, and survive. But they are not alone.
Season Two picks up where Season One left off. One man finds himself on a mysterious island that holds secrets, and perhaps even answers, to what happened on October 15. A group finds itself taking refuge at The Sanctuary, a religious compound with an enigmatic leader called The Prophet. A serial killer finds himself leading an unlikely group of survivors. A young man searches to prove himself to his group, and avoid being bullied ever again. A young child is called to perform another miracle at great personal cost. Every decision. Every action. Every dream. Every alliance. Every secret. Every betrayal.
It all comes down to this - the stunning season two finale that will have you on the edge of your seat - and then knock you to the floor with the most insane, most WTF?!-unforgettable season finale yet!

Finding out it was even better than series one, which I didn't think could be possible!
Mary because she reminds me of me.
Luka, I just love the way the narrator manages to bring out the 8 year old boy in an adults body!
Trust no-one.
Can't wait for season 3!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed the first book and couldn't wait for what i thought was the concluding second book, well i finished the second book and was disappointed, the fresh writing had gone there's no fluency and my fear is Yesterday's Gone will continue much the same as the tv series Lost did, lost and incoherent.
I shall not listen to the rest.
"Great listening"
Brilliant story that due to flicking between characters and situations they encounter in their own time lines, coupled with these crosses no is fantastic and keeps you hooked.
"thrilling but the story is dragging a bit"
the storyline is dragging a bit too long. still looking forward to season 3. cool
"Lots of twists and turns "
The adventures continue, some new revelations and shocks around the corner. the Web of interaction between the main characters continues to widen and become more convoluted. Moving straight on to series 3!!!
Brilliant and unusual story line si fi with a difference looking forward to series three
"Don't waste your time"
I have listened to season 1, now on season 2 and unfortunately paid for season 3. Not sure if writers are angling for a TV series or just got too much time on their hands! This is DIRE! I don't know if the authors divided up chapters or how they collaborated on this but the story line just doesn't flow. Too much conflicting dramas going on. Supposed to heighten suspense? Instead the waters get muddier and muddier. No clear sharp storyline here I am afraid. I know the zombie genre has been written to death (no pun intended) but this has shades of 'LOST' with the reader getting truly lost. Had such high hopes for this. I listened to Mountain Man and found the reader captivating and looking up his other work, this was how I came across these sets. Sorry - just can't say a good word about it even listening to RC Bray doesn't save it
"i won't spoil for you. but... really? auugghhhh"
how can you leave a cliff hanger like that? i have listened to season 1 and season 2 nearly non-stop. i can't leave them alone. they're like a gnat bite ... you start scratching and before you know it you've got a massive bleeding wound that STILL itches. ...where is Season 3? i need Season 3. and what will i do after that? auugggghhhhhhhhh
"more suspense, action and intrigue - season 2"
I enjoyed season 2 , maybe not as much as season 1. I don't feel like the story progressed *that* much but it was an enjoyable listen and I'd probably go for season 3 as well.
Well performed as with season 1 , however some characters certainly feature more than others this season , with very little development for some.
Some characters have different actors playing them due to the way the story develops (ie in conversation type scenes) - I didn't really enjoy that and found it a bit off putting. Overall though I'm glad I listened and look forward to seeing how the story develops.
"brilliant book"
this grips from start to finish cant wait for next installment left a unexpected cliffhanger
"Please sort out the narration!"
The story is great and engaging. Ray Chase (doing Boricio) is AMAZING and I'm definitely going to search for more books read by him. R.C Bray delivers an excellent performance as well. My favorite narrators.
I can't guess what's going to happen.
I can't blame the narrators. Some are amazing while the others are OK. What I did really HATE was the fact that (in order to save money?) some characters are played by different narrators. You get used to Boricio being narrated by Ray Chase when all of a sudden, when he meets Luca, Maxwell Glick who's doing Loca is also doing Boricio. He even pronounces the name Boricio differently. The two narrators are so different (Chase sounds like a hardass pervert criminal, while Maxwell sounds like a kid) that it totally ruined the experience for me. Can't you have both narrators together for such scenes?, common! I'd pay double to get the book read right.
Sort out the narration. Chase should do Boricio - ALWAYS. Bray should do Brent - ALWAYS. Maxwell should do Luca - ALWAYS. You messed up the book!
"Very good, except for one narrator."
The lower end. But that's not terrible as I feel like i have listened to a lot of truly excellent books.
Maybe. But only because the character Boricio.
This question strikes at the heart of why I will not continue the series. Whichever narrator is reading the "Luca" chapters (the story is broken down into POV chapters) is just awful. Luca is an 8 year old boy and I guess the narrator is trying to sound 8. He does not do a good job of it. I'd have no problem if he gave the character of Luca a baby-ish voice and persona when he speaks, but to carry it over for an entire chapter is a bad choice, in my opinion.Ray Chase crushes it as Boricio, though. That almost makes up for it.
Not really.
"An awesome story with incredible narration"
Bizarre, Exciting, Roller-Coaster
Multiple moments- Luca's struggle/experience with growing "older"
Boricio's introduction to The Sanctuary
Both- multiple times. Or grinning ear-to-ear during one of Boricio's creative "rants"- quite imaginative! :)
Bring Season Three to audible SOON... pleeeeeeeese!!!!!!
I liked the different people reading it that makes it a completely different experience when listening .
they were all good characters and made a really good story and was surprised by the end.
NO but now I will ; )
It was a really good book for me it keep me listening and waiting to find our what would happen next tru the whole book
would like to know when the next book will be available in audiobook
"Riveting and captivating!"
This book is worth reading again and again in case that you might have missed details, As for me, I cannot wait for Season 3 as Season 2 left off in a most horrific way!
There are many books written about apocalyptic, end-of-days but until the series ends I can't say how they might compare since the authors have taken the series to new places that make the ending hard to predict.
For some strange reason, I'm fascinated by the scenes where "Boricio" has his side of the story told. The person who reads his scenes brings him to life by providing the listener with an enrichment of emotions to Boricio's thoughts and language.
Near the end of Season 2 as the revolt takes place, I found myself unable to believe the outcome! It had me in tears.
"Like... WHAT just happened?"
The ending to this one left me in shock but let me first delve a bit into the review prior to this crazy ending.
All the great characters are back! Bericio! Lucka, Mary, Paulo! There are so many that I wanted to hear about again and they are here. That doesn't necessarily make it a good thing though because the world is even worse than it was in season 1. This one starts right where season 1 starts off too. At craziness!
One thing I have to commend is the audio. This is narrated by a great cast of people, all of who have to imbibe different voices for different scenes and they do a magnificent job!
Maxwell Glick has the job of the Lucka and does a great job. The only issue I had with the younger version is that when we are in Lucka's head it seems as if we are listening to a much younger story. I do enjoy being able to discern the very different voice with so many men narrators in this. Lucka's very different connotations also help us to understand and really feel how he feels so the reader's empathy is really tugged at. All due to Maxwell's great narration. All of the narrators are fantastic and there is not one voice that makes me cringe when I hear it. Even though I prefer not to listen to most women narrators, Tamara Marston's narration is fabulous and I enjoyed her portions just as much as the men.
The only downside to so many narrators are the issues with keeping the voices separate. They read chapters at a time, not different voices. So I got used to Bericio's voice but he came up in other narrator's chapters as well. Not a bad thing, just A thing. Over all the narration and the full audio was outstanding and I thoroughly enjoyed being pulled into the second part of this story. The portions with music were intense and the music added perfectly to that intensity. Especially at the end!
The plot of the book had its highs and lows but for the most part this kept up with the very fast pace of season one. I didn't love Lucka's chapters but appreciate getting into the boy's head. They seem like they are written to and from a younger child but I'm guessing this is just the great writing as we are supposed to be reading what a young boy would be thinking and feeling.
The amount of characters is the only downside but for the most part I was able to keep those characters in check. I think it can almost be harder when listening to an audio to keep so many characters straight but the characterization of each is very well done.
And if I could just bring up the end again... Just wow. Cannot wait to listen to the next season and find out what happens next.
In short: Amazingly well done book with great audio! Great for a book two. Some high's and low's but overall wonderful.

"Good story but..."
the one thing that frustrated me is that there was no theme music in between episodes. the music was an integral part of the feeling of the story. I thoroughly enjoyed having it during the first season, though I bought the first season one episode at a time. the full season may not have had the music at the end of each episode. either way, I feel like it should be put in at the end of each episode again. otherwise an excellent story.
"Didn't want to stop listening after my commute!"
The narrators are wonderful. I wish the crossover reads would have collaborated together. The original readers version of Will's personality should have been taken into account. The 1st narrators Will personality was read almost a "surferdude", but the 2nd readers version was mean and intense. That was a bit jarring. The story was so good that I was able to tolerate the difference in Will's personality to find out what would happen next. Gotta download the next one because, wow! That ending...
"Totally Hooked...Keep 'em Coming!"
Start with Season One...you won't be disappointed!
The character development and hearing about the same event from different people from different parts of the country.
Boricio is a great character...love him or hate him!
Just love
Listen to this series if you love post-apocalyptic sagas!
"This second book is terrible."
I was so disappointed in the sick and violent turn this second book has taken. I will not buy the 3rd book, I just could not stand listening, it seems the writers threw out what was good about the first book and stuck with shocking depravity instead.
Disgust and disappointment.
I wish I ended my listening after the first book, which was so much better than the followup.

First challenge. The supplied washers are not large enough to accept the supplied bolts. How could this possibly be overlooked? The front left pipe that attaches to the cat took too much torque on the nut to attach as there is not enough angle in the new flange. I'm concerned about the stress cracking an exhaust manifold. Looks good, sounds good, but the instructions could be more detailed.
Great Value!

Some drive their workers to Department of Employment offices to sign on or give them time off to do so. Many pay lower wages because workers are also claiming benefit.
The department, which has set up a special team to combat collusion, said yesterday that last year 55 employers were prosecuted and another 71 cases are pending. Most were small companies employing less than 15 people. Graham Bambridge, the department's head of fraud investigations, said: 'We have discovered more collusion but this may be because we are more alert to it and are devoting more resources to it.'
David Hunt, Secretary of State for Employment, said: 'These are employers who are actively encouraging their workforce to claim unemployment benefit illegally by, for example, giving them time off and, in some cases, even driving them to Employment Service offices to sign on.
'This is a flagrant abuse of taxpayers' money and inspectors have my full support in cracking down on them. Moreover, this behaviour gives unscrupulous employers an unfair advantage over their competitors.'
Mr Hunt said it was 'an example of how the black economy corrodes the fabric of our society'.
The department yesterday announced the highest figures for unemployment benefit fraud investigations and prosecutions for several years and said it had saved the taxpayer almost pounds 45m in 1992-93.
Its 780 inspectors carried out 264,616 investigations, as a result of which there were 2,602 prosecutions and another 61,129 people withdrew their benefit claims. It is thought that about 250,000 out of nearly 3 million claimants may be getting benefit illegally.
Among areas targeted were seaside resorts in South Wales where 550 workers - including mini-cab drivers and employees in hotels, the catering industry and amusement arcades - withdrew their benefit claims and another 27 face prosecution.
More cases of 'travelling fraud', where people live in one area and work in another, were uncovered. Fifteen people from Nottinghamshire were prosecuted after being caught selling goods door-to-door on the South Coast.
In Kent, inspectors investigated 392 casual fruit and vegetable pickers, as a result of which 184 of them withdrew fraudulent claims. Out of 150 mini-cab drivers interviewed at Heathrow, west London, 107 were illegally getting benefit.
Most people are not prosecuted because of insufficient evidence, or because the cases are too minor. They usually take the investigators' advice that they should withdraw their claim.
Often the workers give false names to the investigators and employers. Sometimes these are of people they know, while others have called themselves after television personalities, football stars and even the Queen.
Mr Hunt said: 'The vast majority of benefit claimants are genuinely unemployed. It is an affront to them that a cynical few seek to defraud.'

Telling people you find the Olympics tedious is like confessing that you ate their last slice of pizza, or ran over their dog: they take it very personally. But anyway, I find the Olympics tedious.
I'm not discriminating against the Winter Games, which often feature events far more spectacular than those of their summer-based counterpart. And even though I live next door, so far I'm not especially bothered about the economic sinkhole that is London 2012, nor the transport disruption it's expected to cause. A lot of people will have a fabulous time, and the Tube will be left in top nick when they all go home.
What irks me is the expectation that I should keep my telly tuned to the thing all day, and be gripped vice-like by every single event, however obscure. What you get from most big sporting spectacles – The Champions League, The Ashes, The Six Nations, Wimbledon – is a narrative arc. Triumph, despair, redemption. David and Goliath. The tale of a team, a player; their journey to this final or that. I can get excited about a story. My support for a specific football team (which shall remain nameless) is half-hearted at best, but I'm spellbound by the sweep of a full season's competition.
At the Olympics, however, all you get to see of those grand narratives is the final chapter, which often lasts a little less than 30 seconds: "Man jumps high in the air. Crowd cheers. The end." That's not even a chapter, it's an epilogue. How can I get emotionally attached to the Titanic when it's already underwater? Which of these guys is actually called Spartacus, and why should I care?
The Olympics also used to be a place where the world's geopolitical rivals met and competed honourably without recourse to violence. At the 1980 Winter Games, a ragtag team of American amateur and college players defeated the Soviet ice hockey team – then considered the best in the world – in a match remembered as the "Miracle on Ice". Now that's a story.
One Day in September, Kevin Macdonald's magnificent documentary about the murders of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics, emphasises the nobility of one of the victims, fencing coach Andre Spitzer, who had previously taken great pains to introduce himself to the Lebanese team. In that particular case, politics intruded on the Games in tragic fashion. But even a violence-free Olympics in the Cold War era had the glamour of great powers confronting one another. These days, none of the world stage's most troublesome players – terrorists, oil barons, bankers – has a team in contention.
And yes, of course, I appreciate that the Olympics are the pinnacle of many great athletes' careers. Good luck to them all. I am in awe of their passion, their skill and their commitment. I am aware that stumbling across highlights coverage from the final few yards of the cross-country skiing heats at some ungodly hour of the morning is, for some viewers, a blissful bit of niche sporting television. There are even moments of success or failure so glorious that they are compelling without context – snowboarding gold-medallist Shaun White's "double McTwist 1260" on the half-pipe, say, or a montage of figure skating falls – but now that I can watch those on YouTube, my only reason for sitting through hours of the boring guff in between has gone.
Last year I watched Spiritualized play their classic album Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space at the Royal Festival Hall. Now Primal Scream have announced they're going to mark the 20th anniversary of Screamadelica by performing it live and in full at London's Olympia in October. The Pixies recently toured their 1989 masterpiece Doolittle. Lou Reed, Brian Wilson and Echo & the Bunnymen have all done the same. Sparks, just to up the ante, played every one of their albums in full over 20 consecutive gigs.
Now that the single (or, at least, the "track") is in the ascendant, and albums are suffering spiralling sales, could this be the future for the LP: to be consumed only as live performance, like a classical symphony? The album as image-defining physical artefact feels like the product of a bygone age. Which is one reason (there are others) why none of last week's best album nominees from the Brits – Kasabian, Paolo Nutini et al – can claim to have produced an LP whose track-listing, artwork, and sales figures have impacted on the cultural consciousness like Screamadelica did.

President Trump, his fossil fuel administration, and anti-conservationists in Congress are attacking America's public lands!
Donate today and help save America the beautiful. Your gift today could be what stands between our public lands and Big Oil's drills.
Thank you to the tens of thousands of you who responded to our requests to sign your name to a letter urging the administration to take this step. This is your victory!
Less than a week after announcing a joint U.S/Canada agreement to combat climate change and prioritize Arctic conservation for the benefit of indigenous peoples, the Obama administration released a proposed five-year plan for offshore oil and gas leasing that includes Alaska's Arctic Ocean
At more than 19 million acres, Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one of the last great tracts of truly wild land left in the United States.
Melyssa Watson, shown below during a 2015 trip to the Arctic Refuge, is The Wilderness Society's Vice President for Conservation.
On the heels of President Obama's historic recommendation last January to preserve nearly all of Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as wilderness, a record number of U.S.
Today, that work is focused on developing a Regional Mitigation Strategy that will help offset the negative environmental impacts of future oil and gas development in the reserve under the IAP, which allows industry access to 72 percent of the reserve's economically recoverable oil.
The region already is experiencing dramatic effects of climate change, with more intense storms, beach erosion, melting permafrost, shifting wildlife habitats and disappearing sea ice.
That document – known as the Comprehensive Conservation Plan – includes a recommendation that Congress designate the fragile coastal plain and other areas of the refuge as wilderness.

Diving off Hopkins is very good to terrific. The Barrier Reef is closer here—about 10 miles (17 km) from shore—than it is farther south. Diving also is fairly costly here. Half-day, two-tank dive trips to the South Water Caye Marine Reserve are around BZ$200–BZ$280, not including regulator, BCD, wet suit, and other equipment rental, which can add BZ$50. Dive shops with fast boats can also take you all the way to the atolls—Turneffe, Glover's, and even Lighthouse. These atoll trips generally start early in the morning, at 6 or 7 am, and last all day. Costs for three-tank atoll dives are around BZ$380–BZ$400 for Glover's and Turneffe, and BZ$580 for Lighthouse and the Blue Hole. In late spring, when whale sharks typically show up, local dive shops offer dives to see the Belizean behemoths at Gladden Spit Marine Reserve for around BZ$400. Marine park fees (sometimes included in dive trip charges) are BZ$10 each for South Water and Glover's marine reserves, and BZ$20 for Gladden Spit.
Hamanasi. One of the best diving operations in Southern Belize is at Hamanasi. They have three large, well-equipped dive boats, including a 45-ft. boat with three 200-horsepower outboard engines. Hopkins, Stann Creek. 533/7073. www.hamanasi.com.

Amidst the completely ungrounded rumors that the Atlanta Falcons were poised to make a run at Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson, myself and many other Falcons fans' were forced to wonder if last year's marquee free agent signing Stephen Jackson was really a viable option going into next season. I saw very little reason for the Falcons to have considered Johnson to begin with (and they probably didn't). But, I would be lying if for at least a couple of moments, I wasn't giddy at the prospects of a former two-thousand yard rusher joining the franchise regardless of how many years he is removed from that season (The answer is four, by the way). Nonetheless, I briefly wrestled with the question of Steven Jackson, and whether or not we could squeeze another year out of him behind a potentially porous O-line. While much of the Falcons' fan base is divided, I am most-likely a dissenter in believing that Steven is a near perfect fit for Dirk Koetter's offense, and despite his worst season, should remain the primary back in Atlanta's offense.
Let me preface this with saying, I am biased. Since Jackson entered the league with the Rams' he has been one of my favorite players. His physical running style is somewhat like a long-lost art. Few running backs run with the power and strength he had in his prime, and the few that do are some of the most talented at the position, such as Adrian Peterson and Marshawn Lynch. However, Jackson in his prime is not the same player who sits atop the Falcons' depth chart. In about four months, Jackson will be 31, one year past what is commonly viewed as the deadline for production in Running Backs. Moreover, his over nearly 3,000 career touches (both carries and receptions) mixed with his running style has left him wore down and often injured. For this reason, Jackson should not be seen as a viable starting option beyond next season, as next season will more than likely be his last productive season, if only because he fits so well into the offense.
In contrast to Johnson, Jackson is a between the tackles runner. Provided he has a competent O-line blocking for him, he can still push up the middle and gain the first on third and short situations, and as well as take it to the second level when the run is less expected. Despite averaging a career-low 3.5 YPC last season, Jackson played behind the weakest offensive line he has ever played behind in his career. No doubt, there is a decline in play due to wear and tear and a rising age. However, the addition of Jon Asamoah, (and hopefully a shiny, brand-new Left Tackle) should improve his YPC, and make a consistent 4 yard back out of him again. Jackson is not a home-run runner. Unlike Johnson, he is not going to be able to take it to the house from 30-40 yards out. But that it not what Atlanta needs. Atlanta needs a strong, power runner who can thrive in goal-line situations and play well when called upon. This is what Jackson provides the offense, he is a compliment to the passing game, rather than the key to the entire offense.

Pitchford: Duke Could Have Had a Gay Robot Sidekick and Still Could
Written Wednesday, May 11, 2011 By Dan WebbView author's profile
Homosexuality isn't discussed that often in video games. Actually, it pretty much never is... although we all secretly know that Yoshi is actually gay. It might surprise you to hear that Gearbox was actually considering a gay sidekick for video gaming's most sexist and misogynistic character, the Duke.
Speaking to a crowd of onlookers this evening at BAFTA in Central London, Gearbox supremo, Randy Pitchford, told the assembled video game press and public that Duke could have had a gay sidekick... who was a robot.
"Sexuality is part of the Duke personality," said Pitchford, "and the idea was actually to explore, how would Duke relate to a partner... a peer... that might have a different sexual orientation."
"That would be an interesting theme to play with," he continued" Ultimately, when we were thinking that, we kind of realised that there was an instance while we were doing this... he is a one man show, but it was fun to think about that character. I don't want to spoil it for you, because we might go there – I don't want to ruin it – but, the character was actually a robot."
"The character was actually developed to grip on, and they depended upon each other and relied upon each other and they were successful in their endeavours."
"Ultimately the robot was in a situation where in order for victory against the aliens to be accomplished, the robot's inner workings – a nuclear generator – had to be sacrificed."
"It's so weird to talk about it. We're talking about Duke Nukem and a really deep story telling concept that we were exploring there, but the exploration was all very sincere and maybe we'll come back to that at some point."
"I never expected to be talking about it in context of being here at BAFTA, but why not... I'll take that risk."
What is it with Gearbox and robots?
Regardless, it's refreshing for a renowned developer like Gearbox to even be considering thinking outside the box and going against the sidekick grain. After all, we are in the 21st century.
Duke with a gay robot sidekick? It sounds like a TV show waiting to be made...
Don't forget to check out our recent hands-on with Duke Nukem Forever's multiplayer from earlier on in the week.

Having too much cholesterol in our blood is usually associated with problems of the heart, but studies have also suggested it can be linked to dementia later on in life.
Researchers have looked at several links, and there is some evidence that suggests high cholesterol in the blood during middle age can see people going on to develop dementia as they get older.
However, people with high cholesterol can commonly have other symptoms which contribute towards a risk of dementia, including high blood pressure and diabetes, so it isn't easy to draw clear dividing lines between these factors. There is still some investigation to be done over the role cholesterol plays in the brain in contributing towards dementia, and more research is required over the benefits of statins in reducing this risk.
Cholesterol in the brain
Researchers are examining what cholesterol in the brain does, as the way the brain processes cholesterol or changes as a result of it, is very important for our health. One such example is that a gene linked to late-onset Alzheimer's disease, known as APOE4, helps to process and use fats and cholesterol. Using this type of information can help us understand what changes in the brain occur to bring on dementia, and also help us with treatments.
It is also possible that changes to cholesterol in the blood may not be linked to the way cholesterol is processed in the brain, so that relationship requires more research.
The impact statins have on dementia is unclear. Previously, there has been a worry that using statins over a short period can have a detrimental effect on the memory and also lead to some confusion, but newer research has not replicated this link.
Statins are used by many people to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, with several studies examining whether this changes the risk of dementia.
One meta-analysis on the topic covered a group of more than 23,000 participants, who had been using statins for between three and 25 years. Using this data, researchers found that a substantial reduction to the risk of dementia, around 29%, was linked to the use of statins.
Improving your cholesterol profile
There are several reasons then for lowering our cholesterol. While cholesterol that is very high will probably need additional medication to lower, anybody with high cholesterol will be asked to make a few healthy lifestyle changes. These include:
- Eating 'heart-healthy' foods: cut back on saturated and trans-fats, choose leaner cuts of meat and low-fat dairy products, while getting good sources of Omega-3 fatty acids and soluble fibre
- Taking regular exercise: exercising most days can help you begin to lose weight, and raise your "good" cholesterol (HDL). Try to aim towards 30 minutes of moderate activity every day, but speak to your doctor first if necessary
- Giving up smoking: there are all kinds of benefits to quitting smoking, and one is that it can help raise your HDL cholesterol level
- Losing weight: carrying a few more pounds than you should can lead to high cholesterol, with substantial reductions possible from losing 5-10% of our body weight
- Only drinking alcohol in moderation: drinking too much alcohol can lead to serious health problems , including high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. If your cholesterol is high, your chances of these conditions are already raised, so drinking to healthy limits is the best way to minimise these risks.
If your doctor advises you to use medication, try not to see at as an alternative to lifestyle changes. While lifestyle changes aren't enough for everybody to lower their cholesterol, they can at the very least help to keep medication dosages as low as possible.

Technological change and skill obsolescence: the case of German apprenticeship training
The paper analyses the applicability of vocational training and the earnings of apprentices using survey data from West Germany in 1979, 1985/86 and 1991/92. The applicability has decreased remarkably between 1979 and 1991/92. The objective of the analysis is a survey-data-based assessment of the German apprenticeship system in a time of rapid technological change. The data sets used are the three available cross-sections of Qualification and Career Surveys commissioned by the Federal Institute for Vocational Training and the Research Institute of the Federal Labour Office. For each cross-section we estimate an ordered probit model testing demand (including technological progress) and supply-side factors affecting the applicability of what workers have learned during apprenticeship. Furthermore, we estimate earnings functions with the same specification, testing whether firm-specific and socio-economic factors have the same relevance for applicability and earnings. The results indicate that on-the-job investment in human capital has become more important relative to vocational training. Measures for improving the German dual vocational training system are suggested.
