Anecdotes from the Archive: A ship-shooting formula
February 25th, 2011 | 2
One of the reasons I dreaded math class was the looming feeling that what I learned would turn out to be useless. No matter how hard I tried, I could not imagine a situation outside of school when I would need to know how to graph a logarithm or find the degree of an unknown [...]Keep reading »

The Need for Belonging in Math and Science
October 21st, 2013 | 6
From her earliest memories, Catherine Good was good at math. By second grade she was performing at the fourth grade level, sometimes even helping the teacher grade other students' work. She was praised constantly for her "gift", often overhearing her mother tell anyone who would listen that she was a "sponge" for anything mathematical. By [...]Keep reading »
Why Education Needs More Radioactive Spiders
September 9th, 2013 | 4
Education needs more radioactive spiders. Stay with me. Remember Peter Parker? His childhood wasn't easy. Both of his parents– Richard and Mary– were killed on a mission as double agents. Raised by his Uncle Ben and Aunt May in Queens, Peter spent most of his childhood without an identity. Now, Peter was a good student. [...]Keep reading »
The New, New Math: A Parent's Guide
September 6th, 2011 | 3
There are big changes underway in how kids across the country are learning math. Forty-four states plus the District of Columbia have adopted a common set of standards that detail what students should understand and be able to do at each grade level, from Kindergarten through the end of high school. Known as the Common Core State Standards, [...]Keep reading »
When You Decide To Dispel The Santa Claus Myth, Make It A Teachable Moment
December 19th, 2013 | 12
On a bitingly cold morning in 2011, I was sitting quietly in a repurposed Chicago bar listening to a physics teacher kill Santa Claus. Apparently, physics teachers and educators do this all the time. Examinations of Kringle's physics are posted (and rebutted) in web archives, physics news outlets, and numerous science blogs. And it's hard [...]Keep reading »
Benoit Mandelbrot (RIP) and the quest for a theory of really everything
October 18th, 2010 | 17
The passing of the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot has triggered in me a wave of nostalgia for the 1980s, when Mandelbrot and other researchers seemed to be creating a scientific revolution. They hoped that sophisticated new mathematical techniques, plus increasingly powerful computers, could help them fathom a wide range of complex, nonlinear phenomena—from brains and immune [...]Keep reading »
Contemplating the end of the world, math, mystery and other things
September 6th, 2010 | 21
I suffer from eschatological obsession. That is, I spend lots of time brooding about ends. So the cover of the September Scientific American—which reads simply "the end."—made me all shivery, like when I hear the spooky sitar opening of The Doors' apocalyptic rock poem "The End." (I'm never more Freudian than when I hear Morrison's [...]Keep reading »
To What Extent Do We See with Mathematics?
November 27th, 2013 | 5
When I first became fascinated with mathematics' tightly knit abstract structures, its prominence in physics and engineering reassured me. Mathematics' indisputable value in science made it clear that my preoccupation with its intangible expressions was not pathological. The captivating creative activity of doing mathematics has real consequences. During my graduate school years, I began to [...]Keep reading »
Celebrations of Mind Honor Math's Best Friend, Martin Gardner
Every fall provides a special excuse for all thinking people to celebrate recreational math, magic and rationality, some of the things that were dear to America's greatest man of letters and numbers, former Scientific American columnist Martin Gardner (1914 – 2010), via Celebration of Mind events. While Gardner was without doubt the best friend mathematics [...]Keep reading »
Can Synesthesia in Autism Lead to Savantism?
Daniel Tammet has memorized Pi to the 22,514th digit. He speaks ten different languages, including one of his own invention, and he can multiply enormous sums in his head within a matter of seconds. However, he is unable to hold down a standard 9-to-5 job, in part due to his obsessive adherence to ritual, down [...]Keep reading »
Glow Sticks Prove the Math Theorem behind the Famous Flatiron Building
December 11th, 2013 | 3
How many math lovers live in New York City? It's a tough count to make, but the Museum of Mathematics made progress at its first anniversary celebration on Thursday, December 5. With a mission to illuminate the math that permeates our day-to-day lives, the Museum of Mathematics, or MoMath, wasn't about to waste its birthday [...]Keep reading »
Please Play with Your Math: New Museum Opens in New York City
December 19th, 2012 | 1
Math can be a beautiful, immersive, full-body experience, according to the creators of the newly opened Museum of Math, or MoMath, in New York City. A sculpture that lights up and plays music, a touch-screen floor that turns into a maze and a square-wheeled tricycle that one can ride around a bumpy track are just [...]Keep reading »
A Presidential Pythagorean Proof
James Abram Garfield was born on this day, November 19, in 1831. Had an unstable, delusional stalker's bullets and nineteenth-century medical "care" not cut short his life just six months into his presidency, he would be 181 today (more on that later). Garfield was an intelligent man who studied some math in college, but contemporary [...]Keep reading »
Mathematicians at Play: 3-D Printing Enters the 4th Dimension
October 31st, 2012 | 2
I was at a math conference last week, and one of the other attendees brought a puzzle. I am a pretty slow puzzle-solver, so it will be a while before I figure out how to assemble those five pieces to get this. Three views of the assembled puzzle. Saul Schleimer, a mathematician at the University [...]Keep reading »
Fractal Kitties Illustrate the Endless Possibilities for Julia Sets
September 26th, 2012 | 11
For decades, scientists have been trying to solve a tough question: if the Internet runs out of cat pictures, can we generate more using advanced mathematics?* A paper posted on the arxiv earlier this month by mathematicians Kathryn Lindsey and the late William Thurston calms fears about "peak cat." In the paper, they describe a [...]Keep reading »
Why 167 Is a Happy Number—Besides Being Scientific American's Age
August 27th, 2012 | 3
On Tuesday, Scientific American turns 167 years old. It doesn't exactly look like the kind of anniversary we usually celebrate, with our decimal normative number system that overvalues ending zeroes and fives, but 167 is a pretty neat number. First of all, we can insert two symbols into it to get a correct mathematical statement: [...]Keep reading »
The Mathematical Legacy of William Thurston (1946-2012)
William Thurston, whose geometrization conjecture changed the fields of geometry and topology and whose approach to mathematics and mathematics education has reverberated throughout the mathematical world, died on August 21 following a battle with cancer. He has appeared in the pages of Scientific American in the article The Mathematics of Three-Dimensional Manifolds, which he co-wrote [...]Keep reading »
Abandoning Algebra Is Not the Answer
July 30th, 2012 | 62
In an opinion piece for the New York Times on Sunday, political science professor Andrew Hacker asks, "Is Algebra Necessary?" and answers, "No." It's not just algebra: geometry and calculus are on the chopping block, too. It's not that he doesn't think math is important; he wants the traditional sequence to be replaced by a [...]Keep reading »
How Much Pi Do You Need?
July 21st, 2012 | 21
I hope you're ready for your big Pi Approximation Day party tomorrow. You might have observed Pi Day on March 14. It gets its name from 3.14, the first three digits of the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Always on the lookout for excuses to eat pie, some geeky math types also [...]Keep reading »
Puzzling Prisoners Presented to Promote North America's Only Museum of Math
July 19th, 2012 | 2
Last Wednesday night I attended a "Math Encounters" program co-sponsored by the soon-to-open Museum of Math in New York City. In 2008, Glen Whitney, a mathematician and former hedge fund manager, was dismayed to learn that a small museum dedicated to math in Long Island was closing. He decided to start a math museum himself. [...]Keep reading »
Are plants "actually doing maths"?
June 28th, 2013 | 7
Can plants do math? That is the assertion of a new paper published in the journal eLife this week titled "Arabidopsis plants perform arithmetic division to prevent starvation at night." The plants in question aren't spitting out numerical answers to word problems on their leaves, but doing normal plant stuff: using energy stored as starch [...]Keep reading »
STEM Makes Cars Safer, Buildings Taller, Enables Hearing and Moves Giant Magnets!
June 24th, 2013 | 1
As I reflect on the content of videos I have shared or watched in social media this week, I'm simply in awe at the creativity and ingenuity of humans and how we have used science, technology and engineering (and math) for our health, safety and progress. Some of these videos represent topics fresh this week [...]Keep reading »
Math Warriors: Season 3
Have you ever watched "Mean Girls"? It's one of the movies before Lindsey Lohan really began to let her career slip.

What's the Deal with Euclid's Fourth Postulate?
April 21st, 2014 | 4
In February, I wrote about Euclid's parallel postulate, the black sheep of the big, happy family of definitions, postulates, and axioms that make up the foundations of Euclidean geometry. I included the text of the five postulates, from Thomas Heath's translation of Euclid's Elements: "Let the following be postulated: 1) To draw a straight line [...]Keep reading »
Measure Yourself by the Standard of the Capybara
April 11th, 2014 | 2
We all know a lot of measurements about ourselves. You are some number of feet or meters tall. You weigh some number of pounds, kilograms, or stone. Your BMI is some number of kilograms per square meter, even though humans are not two-dimensional. You have some number of milligrams of cholesterol in each deciliter of [...]Keep reading »
The Slowest Way to Draw a Lute
April 7th, 2014 | 2
Last month, I went to a talk by mathematician Annalisa Crannell of Franklin and Marshall College called Math and Art: the good, the bad, and the pretty. She talked about how mathematical ideas of perspective show up in art and how it can help us create and appreciate art. One of my favorite parts of the [...]Keep reading »
Graham's Number Is Too Big for Me to Tell You How Big It Is
April 1st, 2014 | 6
I was going to write an April Fool's Day post with the title "Mathematicians Declare Graham's Number Equal to Infinity." Graham's number is really big, but of course, it's precisely 0% as big as infinity. On the other hand, everything we touch is finite, so in some sense, Graham's number is probably "close enough" to [...]Keep reading »
What T.S. Eliot Told Me about the Chain Rule
March 21st, 2014 | 5
"We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time." —from Little Gidding by T.S. Eliot If you took calculus in high school or college, you might remember the chain rule. One of the main topics in calculus [...]Keep reading »
We Only Need to Fill Out 425 Brackets Each to Win Buffett's Billion
Warren Buffett's Bracket Challenge* has put even more of a spotlight than usual on March Madness, the annual NCAA basketball tournament. Buffett has offered a billion dollars to anyone who correctly predicts the outcome of all 63 games in the tournament. There are 2 possible outcomes of every game and therefore 263— 9,223,372,036,854,775,808, or about [...]Keep reading »
A Different Pi for Pi Day
March 14th, 2014 | 1
The symbol π is overloaded in math: depending on context and capitalization, π could be the constant we all know and love (or hate), a projection, a product, or a function. There's plenty of stuff to read about the circle constant, so today I'm writing about one of those other π's. Today's π is the [...]Keep reading »
The Math Wars, Lewis Carroll Style
March 4th, 2014 | 1
In 1879, Charles Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, published an odd little book called Euclid and his Modern Rivals (available for free at the Internet Archive). Though it takes the form of a play, it is a defense of Euclid's Elements as the best textbook for geometry. Carroll's introduction lays out his purpose and why [...]Keep reading »
Chasing the Parallel Postulate
February 28th, 2014 | 8
Euclidean geometry, codified around 300 BCE by Euclid of Alexandria in one of the most influential textbooks in history, is based on 23 definitions, 5 postulates, and 5 axioms, or "common notions." But as I mentioned in my recent post on hyperbolic geometry, one of the postulates, the parallel postulate, is not like the others. [...]Keep reading »
Knotted Needles Make Knitted Knots
February 26th, 2014 | 1
Step aside, infinity scarves, you aren't infinite at all. The (5,3) torus knot cowl is where it's at. For me, one of the highlights of January's Joint Mathematics Meetings was the mathematical fiber arts session. You can view a slide show I put together from the session here. During the session, co-organizer sarah-marie belcastro gave a [...]Keep reading »
The Making of a Mathematical Mind: 1 Step at a Time
August 15th, 2013 | 5
One time when I was in the third grade, I got sick and missed a week of school. My dad wanted me to keep up with my schoolwork, so he brought my assignments and books home. I did the required work in the math workbook quickly, or so the story goes, and went on to [...]Keep reading »
Do Music Lessons Make You Smarter?
March 1st, 2013 | 18
Practice makes progress, if not perfection, for most things in life. Generally, practicing a skill—be it basketball, chess or the tuba—mostly makes you better at whatever it was you practiced. Even related areas do not benefit much. Doing intensive basketball drills does not usually make a person particularly good at football. Chess experts are not [...]Keep reading »
Star Filmmakers Found in Unlikely Spot
In Tyson Schoeber's class at Nootka Elementary School in Vancouver, 15 fourth through seventh graders struggle to read, write or do math at a level near that of their peers in other classes. Ten-year-olds have entered Schoeber's program, called THRIVE, virtually unable to read independently (see "One Man's Mission to Save Struggling Students"). Yet Schoeber [...]Keep reading »
20th-Century Math Hidden in 15th-Century Art
February 25th, 2014 | 3
Art and science are often thought of as disparate entities, drawing on different strengths and different ways of thinking. This is surely true, but the disciplines also share patterns of thought and essential characteristics. Take, for example, their inherently collaborative processes. No artist creates in a vacuum just as no scientists could perform the work [...]Keep reading »
Yes, T-Shirt Messages Matter
August 6th, 2013 | 13
Yesterday, I came across a very interesting T-shirt design during my afternoon web surfing. The Children's Place apparently forgot about the great "I'm too pretty to do my homework, so my brother has to do it for me" T-shirt debacle of 2011, and they decided to produce a shirt that reads, "My best subjects" and [...]Keep reading »
SciArt of the Day: Hyperdimensional Suffering
As our month of SciArt of the Day winds down, I had to share this image. For me, this is a touchstone of what makes wonderful science-art: marrying metaphors from past and present, science and myth. The idea that art and science represent two cultures, as C.P. Snow described is a curious one. Art, or [...]Keep reading »
Mathematics, Cities, and Brains: What Can A Highway Engineer Learn From A Neuroscientist?
At their most fundamental level, brains are made up of neurons. And those neurons collectively comprise the two main types of brain tissue: white matter is made up primarily of axons, and grey matter is made up of synapses, or the connections between neurons. (Want a primer on the neuron? Check out this explainer post [...]Keep reading »

Total: -110/+196 Over
This package is SO STRONG I GUARANTEE it will put money in your pocket!! If it does not win you WILL NOT PAY!!
This pick pack has three top-shelf selections!
1. NBA 50* UNDERDOG OF THE YEAR!!! I have hit an outright underdog every night of the week and have saved my best bet for Friday night!
2. Silent Assassin Bookie Beatdown!! This under the radar play is going unnoticed but I got it!! UNLOAD ON THIS EZ WINNER!!
3. BIG TIME BLOWOUT BEST BET!! This game will cover by DOUBLE DIGITS and will be up by at LEAST ten points by the end of the first quarter!!
This is a strong package that WILL GO 3-0!!! This is so strong it is guaranteed to put cash in your pocket!! Start the weekend off with this sweet winning package!!!
FREE PICK: OVER 196 Nets/Wizards
The Nets and the Wizards will have no business splaying defense in this game.
It is late in the season and this game will look just like an All-Star game with two teams looking to put up points and make highlight reels.
New Jersey shot 37.2 percent and had 17 assists for its lowest total in the last seven games and that will bounce back in this game.
The Wizards are hurt and have no interest in playing the string out. John Wall has looked good but they are playing playground basketball and no defense.
This game will go way over the top and it will come closer to 220 as it easily goes over and cashes the ticket on Friday night!

Eazzy is ready to release her 3rd solo, "Scream" on February 4 very nice....!
NOTE: There will be one fresh edition of Hot Clicks on Super Bowl Sunday, so be sure to check it out.
Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker, who is engaged to country singer and past LLOD Jessie James, took a stab at our list of pop culture questions today. Among the revelations: He has "an array" of Taylor Swift on his iPod.
LeBron James is not happy that he has to miss the Super Bowl because the team will be flying back to Miami during the game. The biggest takeaway from this story is that the Heat do not have TV access on their plane.
Good old TMZ caught a few 49ers players enjoying a "3-level adult fantasy land." … Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has shown all sides to his personality this week. First, he gave a kid $100 for a cup of lemonade, then he partied with his shirt off (as usual). … Not only is Colin Kaepernick getting ready to start in the Super Bowl, he's dating model J. Marie.
We started the week by giving Colombian model Jessica Cediel LLOD honors in Monday's P.M. Hot Clicks. The cry that followed from Hot Clicks Nation was simple, but very strong: "More Jessica Cediel." Fortunately, Brosome.com has just posted a new gallery of Cediel, so she is getting LLOD honors for the second time this week.
The Canadiens have banned a triple low-five celebration. … Here are January's funniest sports photos. … This Super Bowl marks the 20th anniversary of Leon Lett's famous blunder in which the Bills' Don Beebe knocked the ball loose as the Cowboys defensive tackle celebrated early on his way to the end zone. In honor of the occasion, Complex.com has a look at the biggest celebration fails in sports history.
The Niners and Ravens haven't even played yet, but you're probably missing football already. If you're not sure if that's true, just check these eight signs.
Immature? Yes. Crude? Yes. Funny? Hell, yes.

Eazzy is ready to release her 3rd solo, "Scream" on February 4 very nice....!

He was born with a condition called Bladder Extrophy, it has left him unable to have penatrative sex with anyone. He is able to ejaculate so we have our own way of touching each other etc. I am the only woman he has trusted with his body and he had never had a girlfriend for longer than 4 weeks due to the fact he would have had to tell them about his condition.
We got married and had 4 cycles of IVF treatment as we longed for a child - i became pregnant but sadly at 8 weeks i lost our baby. We then went donw the route of adoption, and were in the process of being matched with a child when i found out about his online affair.
I call it an affair because thats what everyone on here calls it. My husband used to go onto a chat room, and have cybersex with different women. He had a secret yahoo account and used to email women from that, when i found out, he deleated everything off these accounts bit i found sent messages that he had forgotten to delete. There was nothing weird about the messages, the usual hiya, great chatting to u last night, do u have a yahoo account i can add u to, here is mine etc .. there was one woman in particular who he added to his yahoo chat (there was only this one woman on his friends list) and she used to go on her webcam and touch herself while he watched! I KNOW that he didnt go on his webcam, 1: it wasnt working and 2: he would NEVER show his body to someone else. I beleive that he didnt show himself to her. He did send her a picture of himself (a normal one) and he showed me the one he used. Again i beleive him. But this is beside the point. The fact of the matter is, he did this with this woman, who was also married. He would log on to talk to her, and the chat would get flirty, and she would eventually strip naked and touch herself! When i found out he came up with the usual excuses, i dont know what its like to be with another woman - im stressed at work, bla bla ... but the one that really got to me was ... that he wanted to know what it was like to be able to have penatrative sex with someone!!! he said that with the cybersex, he could be who he wanted to be, he could do what he wanted to do. he felt he couldnt do those things with me because in reality he physically couldnt. I DO understand that need ... BUT i still feel betrayed, i feel hurt, im still devastated 6 mths on.
He was remorsful, he was sorry, he was devastated at the way i reacted. He begged me to forgive him, told me that i was the only one who understood him (almost made me feel that he is only with me cos i accepted him for who he is) he said he didnt think he was having an affair, because there was no physical touch etc. We went to marriage guidence and she told him 'YOU HAD AN AFFAIR' it shocked him, and me too if im honest. he also used a different name in the chat room, and lied about his age. Said he was single and 20 yrs younger etc ... created a whole new life! like he was a different person. During this time (about 6mths) i had noticed his usage on the internet, but it never entered my head that he could that to me.
I dont even know why i am here today. I still find it difficult to come to terms with. Im jealous that he went to a chat room to get what i have always wanted to give him.
Since then, we have talked and talked about everything, about our fantasies, about what we want, what we like (i guess i used to say just touch and no penatration was ok, when really it wasnt, i had needs too but i shut down for fear of hurting his feelings)
Anyway, the thing is, i cant stop looking for this woman online and on facebook etc. I know her real name and her user name on the chat room they used, but there are so many same names on facebook, that i really wouldnt know where to start. i know she lived across the water from us, so no way of meeting up, and that ties up with the times he was online etc. But i still cant stop myself, 6 mths on i type her name into google and look for her! When will it end, does this ever get better ...
i guess there is this one woman that really bothers me. her real name is R****. I always wanted to name one of my girls R****. Since I was little I had a neighbor named that and I loved it. I always asked to name my dds this and he always laughed and said it sounded "sexy". We never named any of them this we picked names he liked. Anyway, he has known R**** for the whole marriage of 16 years but I gather has only recently in the last year started calling her. there were 169 text messages to R**** last billing cycle. Thats not normal right? Thats an affair right? I don't think he ever shared any sexual pictures with her but what he shared was intimacy. He tells her stuff he can't say to me I guess. A month ago he was chatting with her and said to her "I should have married you". I found out and he said ohhh it was just a joke! Then one time last month I had to go to the hospital for an allergic reaction and almost stopped breathing. I was sick. We had sex the night before. But that night, he chatted with R**** and he told he he was so deprived and hadn't has sex in DAYS and was so horny. In this same conversation he said, "my wife doesn't understand me. She only semi-understands his problems...unlike you R****...you understand me and get me". According to him he has talked to her husband and they are "friends" too. I want to write thng an intimate momente husband but apparently according to him the husband is "OK" with their relationship and everything is fine...because its not an "affair".
Another time, my husband and I were planning an intimate moment in the spring. But he went to the bathroom and his phone rang. I saw it and there was a text and he had written previously to this number in another state "hey hot stuff". This was at 3am. Again he said it was a joke. Why would you text another woman "hey hot stuff" at 3 am? Thats NOT a joke.
Then on Valentine's Day, he promised me he would make it up to me--no more other women. He went out to get me chocolates but left his previous chat up with SexyGurl13. I flipped out and cried., I refused to eat his chocolates I gave all of them to kids. He insists he did nothing wrong. But to me talking to sexygurl113 on Valentine's day is wrong enough.
Sorry for the ramble...I have more stories but I will stop. i am so hurt but i keep wavering...was it really an affair???? Certainly he lied and hide things...thats reason enough to be upset.
but i know I shouldn't look anyway...You see its the looking things up that is destroying me. I have WASTED so many hours when I could have been cleaning or playing with the kids just trying to crack his passwords or look up his history etc. Its taken over my life.
Its been 5 years and we have worked through all it and have come out better and stronger. But over the last 5 years I have cyberstalked that woman like no one business. Its our morbid curiosity of wondering what was so special about her that he would lie and sneak every single day. I will tell you that everyone once in a while I still look her up to make sure she still a thousand miles away. For me its a defense mechanism that I have to remember the events so that I don't let my guard down again. I a still working on that but its a process.
My gut said something was up. I asked him to stop talking to her and to try to put himself in my shoes. If there was a guy talking and flirting with me, it would go over like a ton of brinks.
I thought he stopped but nope, used his work email that I didn't have access to. He created accounts on Microsoft chat and yahoo. This was in March of 2008 and after DDay (September 2008)and looking at the phone records that was in March when they started texting and then talking. He even was in contact with her on our 10 year anniversary trip. REALLY?!
He talked to her every morning on his way to work. They chatted all day. Called her on his way home. They were in constant contact. IMing and texting at night, while were watching our son play soccer. Once I had a sore back and went to get a massage...the phone records showed that I had not been out of the house for 5 minutes and he called her.
It was hard because I felt like he cheated and he kept saying it was just talk. Their conversation were never about sex just everyday things. She confirmed this.
She was 1,000 a way so no meeting up.
It was like I had to argue my case that it was an affair. I felt like it was huge and all consuming one moment and then the next beat myself up for over-reacting over just talking.
I think I started to heal when he FINALLY used the word affair and when the marriage counselor called it an emotional affair. He would tell me that she meant nothing to him and he was never talking to her again. Which she confirmed. But then I had a hard time with the amount of time and effort it took to hide this from me...and she meant nothing? I mean how low on the totem pole do I have to be that he knows its wrong - thus hiding it. And swears that he never trusted what she said or had thoughts that she could be a 400lbs woman (who sent pic of a skinny chick).
It was a catch 22, like whew he doesn't have feeling for but then why hurt me like this for someone you feel nothing for.
FYI - I got up the nerve to IM her last year. I had to know that their stories matched up or I knew I would never get past this.
But its a hard thing to come to grips with. I felt like she was able to reach him anytime anywhere and I couldn't stop it.
I obsessed over this woman. I couldn't eat and couldn't sleep. I had panic attacks daily. Also, a really good piece of advise I got from a counselor was when my mind would play out scenarios. She told me to look at the clock and say ok...I am going to allow myself to think whatever horrible hurtful thing I wanted for 5 minutes and then nothing for the rest of the hour. It helped because I was able to decrease the time and start to feel that I could control my thoughts.
I was lucky, my husband became an open book. He changed and although it took what seemed like forever to call it an affair, he knew how much he had hurt me and was truly remorseful and knew that it would take a long time to build my trust again.
I feel that now I am able to put it behind me. I feel that I am able to trust him with my heart again. He makes every effort to make me and my feelings a top priority. I am glad that I stuck it out. It was HELL and felt like I was losing my mind at times but I survived.
Welcome to all of our new members!
..that feeling you get in your stomach, when you heart's broken. It's like all the butterflies just died.
Let me just add Craig's List to the list. My WH started with looking at porn and then 'just chatting.' I now know for a fact that it escalated into RL encounters. I'm not sure how common that is. I really wish I had recognized how damaging the 'only talking' was before it got worse.
Obviously he isn't happy with our relationship or he wouldn't need to do this.
Stace, I don't think this is true. He isn't happy with something within himself and that is why he does this. It has nothing to do with you. Do not let him put any blame on you.
The article at http://www.survivinginfidelity.com/healing_library/confrontation/internet.asp has been very helpful for me to start understanding the addictive nature of these online affairs. It's a fantasyland and your WH sounds like he's deep in the fog of his fantasy.
Since you said it's going to take some time to make arrangements to leave, go ahead and start your preparations. You can change your mind at any point, but at least you'll give yourself the option to leave if you want. But take as much time deciding what you want to do as you want.
So yes, I can relate to many people on here. I have no idea what to do anymore. I am so torn between wanting to leave him (what I told him before this affair that I would do if he ever did it again) and wanting to stay. I see the person he can be and how great our marriage could be if he didn't do these things. I told him that he needs to fix him before we can fix us. He is also on this site and is trying (what scares me is for how long is he going to try).
His line was to tell them he was a widower, though would not tell me what I died of, which I found interesting. When he finally landed an OW, he claims, "it/you doesn't/don't come up". I don't tend to believe this, because she had too much info. about me.
Porn was a big part of things that Happy Pants hid from me from the start, when we were still kids and began making decisions that would control our fate. According to counselors, he had the mother/Madonna complex about me so they think he couldn't relate me to what he saw on the sites, but when he got stressed, it was his vice.
It is believed by his own words that OW will allow an "open relationship", which I've been counseled is a way to try to "keep him" for her.
The only thing that stays the same, is change. -M. Etheridge

And just in case you missed the other big Promenade Shops news last week, colleague Scott Kraus reported that the 16-screen Rave Motion Pictures movie theater has been purchased by Carmike Cinemas which operates the Carmike 16 on Hanover Road in Hanover Township, Lehigh County.
This is quite an acquisition for Georgia-based Carmike, which has 233 theaters with 2,245 screens in 35 states. The high-tech Rave is the No. 1 movie theater in the Lehigh Valley region in box office sales.
But what does this good news for Carmike mean to you, the moviegoer? No immediate changes, Kraus reported. But Carmike will be looking at pricing, packaging and concessions.
Also in the just-in-case-you-missed it department: colleague Pat Lester reported a target opening date of 2014 for the new shopping center proposed for the 5000 block of Hamilton Boulevard in Lower Macungie Township — the one that will include the much anticipated Costco, as well as Target, as two of its three anchor stores. Also planned for the center, which would be styled after the Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley, are five restaurants, two banks and seven other retail stores, Lester reported.

Now and Then Books, an independently owned and operated used book store, recently moved from its basement at 2905 Emmaus Ave. in Allentown to a new street-level location at Broad and S. Fourth streets in Emmaus.
The "new" location is actually quite old — a historic home built in 1870.
Founded in 2002, Now and Then Books traces its roots to Chestnut Street in Emmaus, where it originally was known as Book Rack. Owners Thomas Christian and Dennis Corcoran said they always had visions of returning to the borough. It took 10 years, they said, to find just the right spot.
The historic building, which until recently was a residence, boasts hardwood floors, large windows with deep sills and wide mouldings. On display in 1,100 square feet of space are more than 150,000 volumes of soft- and hard-cover books for adults and children, including fiction, literature, and antique and collectible editions. And, the owners said, a generous trading policy is offered to help keep readers' costs even lower.
Extensive work is under way at the former Audio Images Stereo at 2337 MacArthur Road in Whitehall Township, next to Sally Beauty Supply. Moving in soon will be Anytime Fitness, a 24/7 gym that is based in Hastings, Minn., and has more than 1,800 franchises all over the world. The Whitehall location is scheduled to open in spring. Anytime Fitness website: http://www.anytimefitness.com.
Retail Watch reader Randy Gilly fed us a great tip on a new Italian eatery coming to Walnutport. Randy spotted a sign posted at 4330 Lehigh Drive in the Lehigh Towne Center, announcing: "A Ca Mia Italian Restaurant coming soon."
The sign included a phone number, so I called and was pleasantly surprised to learn the owner is no stranger to Italian food lovers here in the Lehigh Valley. Paola Nota, former owner of Paolo's Italian Restaurant along Cherryville Road in Northampton, hopes his new restaurant will be open by mid-November. Paulo, who lives in Walnutport, sold Paulo's in Northampton about two years ago, in hopes of opening an eatery closer to home and family.
And family, once again, will be the focus. "When I came to this country, my desire was to cater to families to make them happy with good food at affordable prices," said Paulo, who has been in the restaurant business 32 years.
He plans a new approach for A Ca Mia. Although some of his signature dishes will be on the menu, he plans to offer a different ambience and new appetizers and entries in Walnutport. Also new will be half-size portions on select items, for those who want to grab a quick bite or those who don't have huge appetites, he said.
Thanks for the great tip, Randy.
Reader Marianne Rice reported El Cactus Authentic Mexican Cuisine in the Whitehall Square Shopping Center has closed its doors. "I had a gift certificate I was going to use, but instead I found the place dark. What's the story?" she asked. Sorry to report, Marianne, that the phone line to El Cactus has been disconnected and I can find no corporate link, so there's no story to tell. But if you like Mexican cuisine, check out the new Qdoba Mexican Grill that opened recently at MacArthur Towne Center at 2669 MacArthur Road in Whitehall.
Remember, as the new writer of Retail Watch, I welcome tips like these from readers. So, if you see evidence of a new store or restaurant or signs that one has closed, please let me know.
Retail Watch keeps track of new store, restaurant and bank development in the Lehigh Valley. Have a question about a retail construction project, a store opening or a chain you'd like to see come to the area? Call features reporter Irene Kraft at 610-820-6597 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Retail Watch appears every Sunday.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"After stressing about my invitation for a month, I stumbled across this site. It was so simple to find what I wanted, edit it to my liking, and order! I got my order within 5 business days as promised and I couldn't have been happier! The floral detail looks like it was hand painted on each card. Be sure you upgrade to the shimmer paper, you won't be disappointed!"
"Just received our wedding invitation and it looks amazing!! the paper quality is great, design looks lovely, and printing/delivery was so fast Thank you so much!! would highly recommend!!"
"My Wedding Invitations were absolutely PERFECT. They truly reflected the theme and thoughts we wanted for our guests to begin to visualize of beginning of our dream coming true."
"I absolutely Loved this invitation! It totally set the tone for my wedding. I ordered them with the pearl shimmer which made them look that much more beautiful! Customer service was also great! I had an error on the rsvp labels and luckily they have live chat after hours, and was able to speak with someone who helped me immediately and shipped out new envelopes the next day. I would highly recommend this company, they are wonderful!!"
"The design is absolutely adorable. I got the shimmery paper and it looks super nice! I love the rustic romantic design w/ the purple flowers. Matched our color scheme nicely."

Minimac is a minimalist, general purpose text macro processor. Its simplicity should make it particularly well suited as a front end preprocessor for little language compilers. It is meant to be simpler to use than m4. It uses an explicit argument stack, and user functions are defined by concatenation (similar to the Forth language). Macro expansion is delayed to the last possible moment. The software is currently in alpha release.
iMacros for Chrome is an extension that allows you to automate repetitive tasks like visiting the same sites every day, filling out forms, and remembering passwords. It can automatically fill Web forms that stretch over several pages. It can automate the download and upload of images, files, or entire pages (with or without images). iMacros includes a user agent switcher, functions to download PDF and Flash, and ad-blocking and image-blocking functions. iMacros can automatically read data from a Web site and export it to CSV files. You can use this feature to download stock quotes, gather and compare Web store prices, and more. Web professionals can use iMacros for functional, performance, and regression testing of Web applications.
pyexpander is a macro processor based on Python. Instead of simple text replacement, it offers evaluation of arbitrary Python expressions and execution of Python code. It features simple syntax definition: all expander commands start with a dollar sign ("$") followed by word characters, parameters, Python code enclosed in brackets, or a combination of these. The full power of the Python programming language can be used, including all operators, functions and modules. Any Python expression can be used to insert text. It also provides a Python library that you can use to develop other macro tools based on pyexpander.
