SXSW: Even Aussie Group Karnivool Has Experienced Outback Steakhouse

With the rhythm section off elsewhere (perhaps getting steaks?), guitarists Andrew Goddard and Mark Hosking, along with singer Ian Kenny, sat down to talk about their record, their tour, and meat of course.
Perhaps they come by their musicianship naturally, but meat eaters, as well at least one member of the band might attribute their skills to their choice of proteins. "We're avid meat eaters," says Kenny. "You know, one theory has the ascent of man as a result of beginning to eat meat." Are talking meat as a major evolutionary trigger? "Well, it's one theory," he says with a smile. "Expansion of the brain and all that."
And what sort of meats are the band mates into? Every one of the three chose steak, fillet to be specific, as a favorite. When challenged on the relative value of that cut versus, say, a nice fatty son of a bitch, they attributed it to Aussie advertising. "It's constant at home, this whole 'eat lean meat' thing," says Hosking. "Yeah, it really is - I suppose that's where it comes from," adds Goddard.
As for meat experiences that stuck out particularly during the recent tour, there were a few.
"We had reindeer steaks at one point, but the meal on the ice breaker ferry on the way to Finland was cool; we had the opportunity to try antelope," Hosking says. "Kudu was it? And springbok I think." Goddard agrees. "It really was great. And ostrich - we had ostrich on tour too," Kenny adds. "Though it wasn't as good."
The conversation meandered to a discussion of lousy restaurants, and Kenny remembered a story from a dinner they had at an Outback Steakhouse in Germany. "It's shit, of course, Outback, but it was funny," he says. "We stopped in for something to eat, and the waitress kept calling us 'mate,' but in a German accent. It was really odd."
Karnivool's meat-fueled album Sound Awake is out now. Grab it.

Chris KryzanDecember 1999 |
I'm a 20 year-old gay male college student just seeking some advice. The answer to my question seems so logical to so many people, but not to me. I was seeing a guy for a while, and we were convinced we were in love with one another. We were both very, very happy. Then we both went away to college and we are now four hours apart.
I recently broke up with him. He changed so much at school, I felt like I didn't even know him. He became mentally abusive over the phone, and started drinking excessive amounts and smoking at school. Before we broke up, we didn't have a chance to see each other physically - it was all done over the phone. I'm aware that that wasn't the best way to do it, but I just knew it wasn't working out between us.
I didn't break up with him for anyone else, I really still love him and care about him. I know he feels the same way - but I can't deal with the abuse. He would tell me I was annoying him, or to shut the fuck up, or that I was fag. He's not out and I think that has something to do with it. I felt like his hidden dirty secret - none of his friends at school knew about me.
We shared so many great times and when I think about him I think of that, and not the awful changes that have occurred between us. I finally told him everything I felt and laid down all the lines about what I expected to receive from and put into a relationship. He seemed to understand, but I don't know what to do. I'm told not to go back to him - my friends tell me I was miserable when were together, but I think I should see him in person again and give him another chance. But he's seems like such a different person - what should I do? We've both hurt each other too much.
Dear Ken,
It's often hard to think straight in the middle of a relationship -- what seems obvious to your friends and others around you is muddied by the emotions you feel for the other person.
It's hard to say what happened to your boyfriend to make him change the way he did, but I think it's likely you hit the nail on the head when you mention that his not being out has something to do with it. In fact, this happens more often than you might imagine.
When one person is in the closet and the other is not, the closeted person often feels jealous, and then resentful, of the freedoms the other person has. At the same time, the closeted person is implicitly telling themself that their sexual orientation is a flaw, and in a way, they believe that (after all, people are open about the things of which they're proud, right?)
So what happens is the relationship turns abusive. You become the very visible evidence of what they could be, but have chosen not to be. And he lashes out at you, when really the person he is angry with, and hates, is himself.
Is there a future for the two of you? That's hard to say, but I do believe in the capacity for people to change. And I would suggest to you that he needs to change before you decide to get together again. Most likely it's going o require that he come out, come to terms with being gay and feeling good about it. That he loves himself, before he is ready to love you as you deserve.
You both have my best wishes, for what lies in front of each of you.

Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, Florida
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Chicago White Sox unexpectedly lost their starting pitcher in the fourth inning, and then went on to win their eighth straight game.
Alexei Ramirez drove in two runs and the White Sox extended their season-best winning streak with a 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday.White Sox left-hander Jose Quintana was ejected by plate umpire Mark Wegner with two outs in the fourth when he threw a pitch behind Ben Zobrist at knee level. White Sox manager Robin Ventura also was tossed by Wegner for arguing."I've never seen anything like that," Ventura said. "I don't know how to explain it. I was shocked. Usually if the guy feels it (had) intent, he gives warning and it goes from there, but it just shocked me."Quintana, through a translator, said he was not throwing at Zobrist."I was going to throw a fastball, but A.J. (Pierzynski) asked him for a changeup and instead of crossing him over, I went through and it just slipped away," Quintana said.Tampa Bay right-hander Alex Cobb (2-1) had hit a pair of White Sox batters -- Gordon Beckham during the first and Pierzynski in the third -- during the game. Pierzynski was hit with a man on second and one out."I was just trying to get a fastball in, and yanked it a little bit," Cobb said of the pitch that struck Pierzynski.Pierzynski had made what Rays manager Joe Maddon called an awkward slide involving Zobrist in Tuesday night's game."I didn't ask for anything right there," Maddon said.Maddon said Wegner handled the situation well."When a pitcher throws behind somebody like that, it's pretty obvious what their intent was regardless of the denials on the other side," Maddon said. "I thought the home plate umpire did a great job, actually. That really stopped everything in its tracks."Dayan Viciedo had a run-scoring single and Ramirez hit a sacrifice fly to help Chicago take a 3-1 lead in the third. Ramirez made it 4-1 with an RBI double in the fifth.Luke Scott and Carlos Pena homered for the Rays, who have lost nine of their past 13 games at home."We're not really playing a high level of baseball right now," Maddon said. "Too many mistakes on the field."Addison Reed worked out of trouble in the ninth for his sixth save. Pena drew a leadoff walk, with pinch-runner Rich Thompson advancing to second on Matt Joyce's one-out single. Zobrist and Scott then both popped out to shallow left."Anytime we get out there with a lead, we want to shut it down, but especially with everything that happened early on in the game you kind of want it a little more, to really shut the door on them," Reed said.Pena hit a two-run homer off Nate Jones (3-0) in the sixth.Alex Rios hit a first-inning RBI single. Tampa Bay tied it at 1 on Scott's opposite-field homer to left in the second.Cobb worked out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the second. After Alejandro De Aza hit a grounder and Beckham struck out, Adam Dunn hit a fly to center that B.J. Upton caught on the warning track.Quintana allowed one run and one hit in 3 2/3 innings. Cobb gave up four runs and nine hits over five innings.De Aza left in the sixth when he was hit near the right knee by the ball while diving back to second on J.P. Howell's pick off attempt.Game notes
Tampa Bay DH-LF Hideki Matsui was out of the lineup one day after homering in his Rays' debut. He entered in the sixth and went 0 for 2. ... Matsui will earn $615,519 from his contract with the Rays if he stays on the 40-man roster for the rest of the season. Matsui was put on the 40-man roster Tuesday, meaning he will earn 128 days of major league pay from the 183-day season. His contract lists an $880,000 salary while in the majors and a $250,000 salary while in the minors. ... White Sox LHP John Danks (strained left shoulder) threw at 60 feet on level ground and could rejoin the rotation early next week. ... Chicago 3B Brent Morel (lower back strain) is set to start a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte. ... Rays OF Desmond Jennings (sprained left knee) is scheduled to start playing in minor league rehab games Thursday.

Thank you for responding to my query of 2005. I am interested in learning what sources you have researched and will be happy to share my findings and sources. If you prefer, you may do so by regular e-mail (address is shown by clicking on the link for the poster's name or the "print" link). Van Buren Baughn was Sarah Catherine Baughn's brother. That is confirmed by the 1850 census for Gadsden County, FL, as well as by the 1860 census for Baker Co., GA (listed as Vaughan) She went by Kate Baughn and was born in 1835 in Quincy, FL. By she, you mean Sarah Catherine Baughan, not Catherine Sheffield. This is the Sarah Catherine Baughan who first married Milo Grow, and then James H. Bodiford. Her only child was Roy W. Grow (1861-1938). Census records consistently show her to have been born in North Carolina. Their parents were G. William T. Baughn and Sarah Elizabeth Jarrett. I am interested in your source for the name of the father of Kate and Buley (as Martin Van Buren was called). In official records I find him only as Carter T. Baughan, with no reference to William. If you have a document (such as a Bible record) that shows him as "William," it might be helpful in nailing down the identity of his father and mother. They also had a brother named William Baughn. William appears to have been the only son of Carter and Eliza who was born in Florida, along with sisters Missouri and Louise. The family appears to have gone to Florida from South Carolina with the Jarretts sometime between 1844 and 1847, and left Florida for Georgia between 1850 and 1860. I am interested in learning about Martin Van Buren Baughan (He later dropped the second "a."). There is some indication from the census that he first married a "Molly J." A descendant identified her as Mary Jane Martin and identifies two children by her -- Charles B. and Maude. before he married Martha SHEFFIELD, who is shown as a daughter of Catherine Sheffield (shown as mother-in-law in 1880 census). It seems that three of Buley's children were by Martha -- Jessie Baughn, Irma Kate Baughn (m Dr. Peter Eager Wilkin -11 ch), and Dr. Edgar Buren Baughn. I am hoping that someone can provide information on what became of the three children, and their descendants, if any. There also seems to be a SHEFFIELD connection with Cornelia Baughan, sister of Kate, Buley and Willie. In 1880, W. B. Baughan was 23 and a farmer in Limestone Co., TX. His mother, Eliza, was 60 and born in SC. In the household was brother-in-law R. B. Crocker, 30, and sister "Neley" [Cornelia Louise] Crocker, 27. Also present were nieces and nephew Edwina, John, Kate and Sue SHEFFIELD (ages 13 to 5) all born in Georgia to Cornelia's first marriage to JOHN SHEFFIELD. I would be interested in learning of the descendants of those Sheffields as well. Notify Administrator about this message?

Illinois Health Insurance
Why Do You Need Health Insurance?
- Surgeries, hospital stays and even ongoing medical treatment can lead to unmanageable financial hardship without Illinois health insurance coverage.
- There can be seen an explicit link between quality medical care and having insurance. For you to have an opinion in the type of treatment you receive and the power to select your healthcare service provider, you either require a healthcare plan or the money to pay for high-priced medical bills.
- It has been demonstrated that those who do not have health insurance frequently postpone getting medical attention and increase the chance of developing more serious illnesses before they finally do go to the doctor. Mortality rates among the uninsured living in Illinois for cancer and many other major health issues are higher than for people who have enough healthcare coverage.

Iggy Azalea
Though she's currently receiving more airplay than most artists that graced the Stadium Stage, Australian phenom Iggy Azalea was the first artist to perform at Summer Jam this year. Her placement early in the day may have had something to do with Swaggy P's desire for some birthday sex, but whatever the case, Azalea hyped the crowd up with a New Classic-heavy set.
Accompanied by four scantily-clad backup dancers, Iggy took the stage wearing underbutt-friendly attire and promptly launched into a 20-minute-long set of fan favorites. "Pu$$y" was a sure highlight, as it was one of the few earlier songs Iggy performed, and had her flirting with the crowd while telling them to "taste my Skittles." The Charli XCX-assisted "Fancy," the Number One song in the country right now, closed the set, though unfortunately XCX wasn't there to sing the chorus. Nonetheless, as soon as the song's DJ Mustard-esque beat kicked in, the whole crowd went wild before Iggy went home to celebrate with Nick Young.
Coke Boys' Chinx (née Drugz) followed Iggy Azalea's performance, juxtaposing her poppy brand of ratchet music with his hard-nosed street bangers. The French Montana affiliate brought many members of his Far Rockaway posse with him, including a heavyset dude who may have been the best hypeman at Summer Jam 2014.
Kicking things off with the Harry Fraud-produced "I'm A Coke Boy," Chinx exuded the energy of rapper on the come-up, which is fitting since his debut album is due out soon. Other tracks like "Feelings" gave the performance a more anthemic feel, with the presence of Chinx's crew making for a very celebratory atmosphere. Before leaving the stage, Chinx turned to the crowd for an obligatory "free Max Bizzle!" that was met by cheers in support of the currently-incarcerated rapper.
Mack Wilds
Actor-turned-singer Mack Wilds (real name Tristan Wilds, you may know him as Michael Lee from HBO's The Wire) was up next to give an inspirational performance. Recounting stories of sneaking into past Summer Jams with his friends, Wilds seemed overjoyed to have made it as a performer, giving thanks to the fans that got him there. From the sound of the cheering, most of those fans were women, some of whom had their day made by Wilds when he jumped down from the stage and extended an arm out into the crowd.
Performing his recent hits "Own It" and "Henny," among others, Wilds showcased his pipes, which have a smooth quality similar to those of Trey Songz's. His outfit was also notable, as he came to the stage wearing a Yankees jersey and strips of black tape under his eyes, and carrying a baseball bat. Mack Wilds already has the swagger and adoring fans necessary to become a star -- he just needs to continue hustling as hard as he did at Summer Jam.
Childish Gambino
Following another actor who recently picked up music, Childish Gambino was introduced by a heartfelt story from Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg involving his late brother-in-law, a huge fan of Gambino. The Beacause The Internet rapper opened with that album's "Crawl," which brought out more bombastic bass than the crowd had heard at that point in the day. Gambino, accompanied by a four piece band, was by far the most energetic artist to grace the Festival Stage, jumping around animatedly while still somehow not missing a single bar.
With other set highlights being "Sweatpants" and "3005," Childish Gambino showed that despite his above-the-knee shorts, he can still deliver hard-hitting tracks that hip-hop traditionalists can get behind.
Jhene Aiko
Sultry L.A. songstress Jhene Aiko was next, coming to the stage in a flowy dress that had the crowd hoping for a wardrobe malfunction throughout her show (quoth Aiko: "Let me know if my vag is out, guys"). Despite the fact that we didn't get one, Aiko delivered a stunning set accompanied by a live band who were unbelievably tight.
A few songs into her set, Aiko brought out Childish Gambino to do their collaborative track, "Bed Peace," and the two Californians' chemistry was immediatly apparent. Closing with her surprise hit "The Worst," Aiko won the crowd over with her charm, stunning looks and silky voice.
Troy Ave
Following a brief set by Sevyn Streeter and Araabmuzik, an intro video for Troy Ave began playing on the screens in Metlife Stadium. Specifically calling out Trinidad James for being a "weirdo rapper," and locating himself as the successor to Biggie and Jay Z, Troy Ave came to the stage accompanied by a whole host of members of his BSB crew.
Opening with "Everything," Troy seemed hellbent on making his recent inclusion on XXL's freshman list seem deserved, repping NYC harder and more conspicuously than possibly anyone else yesterday. A surprise during his set was when T.I. showed up on the stage for a few minutes, staying in the background but definitely being seen by most audience members. Troy Ave's looking like he may be about to blow up in NYC, and co-signs from artists as big as T.I. are just what he needs to get there.
Wiz Khalifa
Action Bronson followed Troy Ave, spending much of his set rapping from the audience, but Summer Jam really kicked into high gear when Wiz Khalifa took the stage to thunderous applause. From the get-go, it was clear that the "Trap Wiz" persona he unveiled on 28 Grams was in full effect.
But following bangers like "James Bong," we got a brief glimpse at Rolling Papers-era Wiz, with an added bonus: Snoop Dogg. Accompanying his Mack And Devin Go To High School co-star for "The Next Episode" and "Young, Wild & Free," the Doggfather showed the East Coast some love, grinning gleefully throughout his appearance. For Wiz, an artist who recently underwent somewhat of a sonic transformation, this Summer Jam performance cemented his staying power, and as a coworker said, made us realize how much of a rockstar he really is.
Trey Songz
Hot 97's Laura Stylez and Miss Info came to the stage to give the ladies in attendance the announcement they'd been waiting for: Trey Songz was coming to the stage. Met by a sea of screams, Songz and his band blazed through a set of old favorites and songs from the upcoming album Trigga.
Following the sensual "Neighbors Know My Name," Trey invited Ty Dolla $ign onstage to perform their "Paranoid" remix, a meeting between two of the best voices currently in R&B. Despite Ty's appearance, the most surprising thing about Songz's set was that he waited until it was almost over to take his shirt off. We definitely thought he'd be shirtless by the second song. Trey also played "Loyal," his collaboration with the then-imprisoned, now-freed Chris Brown, and finished by getting the crowd to chant "Free CB." Looks like it worked.
With the 20th anniversary of Illmatic less than two months prior, Nas was riding a wave of anniversary shows by the time he hit the stage at Summer Jam. Fittingly opening with "NY State Of Mind," Nasty Nas performed five songs from his classic debut, including "Represent" and a rendition of "It Ain't Hard To Tell" that had him letting the song's Michael Jackson sample ride out before rapping.
Then came one of the most surprising guest appearances of the night: an MMG takeover of Nas' set. First came Meek Mill, who Nas called a "young fuckin' G straight out the hood," performing the Dreams & Nightmares intro as well as his new track "I Don't Know." He was then joined by New York's own French Montana, who got the crowd amped with "Ain't No Way Around It" before Nas came back to deliver his only non-Illmatic track of the night, the always-thrilling "Hate Me Now." An unexpectedly surprising performance by Nas, but one that will nonetheless go down in the Summer Jam history books.
50 Cent
Returning to the Summer Jam stage for the first time since he was banned from the event in 2004, 50 Cent brought a performance that may be the most talked-about set in a night that featured many bigger names, mostly due to G-Unit reuniting and some resulting drama. Fif, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and Young Buck all appeared together onstage for the first time since 2008, and they brought hits like "On Fire" and "I Smell Pussy."
With Fiddy playing a lot of solo tracks later on in the show, his G-Unit compatriots began to seem less like partners and more like hypemen, especially when you keep the crew leader's recent derogatory comments towards them in mind. He brought out Fabolous to debut a remix of "Cuffin Season," and Yo Gotti to perform "Don't Worry About" and "Fuck You," both of whom seemed to get bigger looks than Yayo or Buck. A strange performance to be sure, and one that probably won't get 50 Cent invited back to Summer Jam for the next few years.
Nicki Minaj & YMCMB
Despite a set by DJ Mustard, YG and Ty Dolla $ign following her performance, Nicki Minaj had easily the biggest show of the night, bringing together artists young and old, established and up-and-coming. After coming to the stage rapping her much-celebrated verse from Kanye West's "Monster," Minaj blessed the audience with a very rare appearance by Young Thug, coming to the stage to do a "Danny Glover" remix that had most of the crowd singing along.
After a ferocious rendition of "Lookin Ass," Nicki launched into "Chi-Raq" and gave rising Chicago star Lil Herb (almost literally) a minute to shine. The pair embraced and Minaj was quick to extol praises for the young MC. Soulja Boy was the next guest, showing up for the celebratory "Yasss Bish!!" and bouncing around the stage animatedly. After doing "Pills N Potions" and a slew of older songs, the time had come for the "& YMCMB" portion of Nicki's set.
First trolling the audience by exclaiming, "Drake, I used to love you, but nigga I don't fuck with you no more!", Nicki let Drake reveal the nature of her joke when he came onstage immediately following the comment. Performing 'Worst Behavior," Drizzy sent the crowd into a tizzy, letting Nicki hop up and wrap her legs around his waist after he finished. "Believe Me" was next, with Lil Wayne satisfying everyone's wishes by showing up midway through the track.
Coming to the stage in a ski mask, Weezy let us know that #CarterVSeason was fully underway with a very energetic performance that also included his verse on the East Coast version of Chris Brown's "Loyal." Closing with the fittingly-triumphant "Trophies," YMCMB capped off a wildly entertaining show.
HNHH was on the scene at Hot 97's annual Summer Jam yesterday to see performances by Iggy Azalea, Chinx, Childish Gambino, Jhene Aiko, Troy Ave, Action Bronson, Wiz Khalifa, The Roots, Trey Songz, Nas, 50 Cent, Nicki Minaj and DJ Mustard, plus plenty of special guests. Now we've got photos and a recap of the event for you.
Yesterday the HNHH staff had the pleasure of attending Hot 97's 21st annual Summer Jam, which true to its reputation, ended up being an evening packed with great performances, surprises and even some drama. With the event split into two stages, one in the Festival Village and one in Metlife Stadium, we first hung out at the former with Iggy Azalea, Chinx, Mack Wilds, Childish Gambino and Jhene Aiko before moving inside the stadium for the night's headliners. Without spoiling any guest appearances, Sevyn Streeter, Troy Ave, Action Bronson, Wiz Khalifa, The Roots, Trey Songz, Nas, 50 Cent, Nicki Minaj and DJ Mustard all showed up to rock the crowd of 50,000+ on a very memorable night.

Fantastic hosts, breakfast, room, location, amenities, snacks. We loved it! These folks went out of their way to make us comfortable and to help guide us as we visited Cape May for the first time. We were very lucky to have a room available as our plans were last minute. Someone happened to cancel and we were able to stay. We really enjoyed it at the Gingerbread House and will plan to stay there next visit to Cape May

My husband and I had a wonderful time at the Gingerbread House. The innkeepers Joan and Fred are lovely people and genuinely care about your comfort in their home. The service was great, the food was delicious, and their porch is so relaxing. We will definitely return.

This has to be one of the nicest B&Bs we've stayed at! Our hosts Joan and Fred were fantastic, the food was exceptional, the location could not be better, and the house and property was in pristine condition ! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !

Perfectly, located 1/2 a block away from the beach and close to all the stores on Beach Ave, this is a great deal! The staff are all very nice, helpful, and attentive. The house is very nicely kept, rooms are clean, and there is always coffee, tea and snacks available. There's a bike rack in the back, beach chairs and towels are available, and there's even an outdoor shower. There's a nice selection of cold breakfast items available but the hot breakfast was just OK, not bad, just not really good. Overall, it's a great place and I wouldn't hesitate to come back.

The Gingerbread house is located right in the middle of everything; beach, restaurants, shopping, etc. Fred & Joan were great hosts and every morning a delicious hot meal was served along with other cold options. We were also able to keep our bikes right out back on their bike rack. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We will definitely be back!

The Gingerbread House is centrally located to the boardwalk, restaurants, and attractions. The comprehensive file of restaurant menus was a welcome convenience. Breakfast was a two-part feast. We enjoyed talking to Fred about his renovation work, greatly admired his mother's water colors and the antique furniture. Joan shared further information about the house and offered us tasty home-baked treats. The room was beautifully decorated, with sufficient reading lights and quite roomy. The front porch was a welcome spot to enjoy a glass of wine after a full day of walking around town admiring the beach and Victorian architecture. We spent little time in the room because we were either out on the town or downstairs on the porch. Our second floor room was quiet, roomy, comfortable, and nicely decorated.

Ankle injury sidelines Sunderland midfielder Henderson for a month
Sunderland manager Steve Bruce has confirmed Jordan Henderson is to have a scan on his injured ankle and expects the midfielder to be out for at least a month. The 19-year-old picked up the injury in the second half of Saturday's 1-1 home Barclays Premier League draw with Wigan. Henderson was carried off on a stretcher with what looked like a nasty ankle injury, shortly after he had set up the equalising goal for Kenwyne Jones. Ankle fears: Henderson is stretchered off as team-mates look on worryingly Manager Steve Bruce said: 'Jordan will have a scan on Thursday. We are just going to let the swelling go down. It's pointless scanning him now because of the size of his ankle. 'We hope there's nothing more severe than a badly twisted ankle. If that's the case he is going to be (out for) four to six weeks, and I would have thought that would be the minimum, so we will keep our fingers crossed on Thursday.'

Boomerang Men: Why Exes Come Running Back
To ask Charles your love and relationship questions, join him on Facebook Thursday 3/8 at 2pm eastern!
Boomerang: (noun) A curved piece of wood when properly thrown will return to thrower.
Boomerang Man: Annoying; a man that a woman has stopped being romantically involved with who gets in contact for unknown reasons. (See booMANerang.) Relationship Kryptonite: The Saturday Guy
Every romantic relationship has an "original agreement", whether it's sexual, financial, emotional, or a combination of all three. When this original agreement isn't being fulfilled, it causes the relationship to stall or end. Although there are plenty of exceptions, statistically this happens most in new relationships, and it seems to be the woman that breaks things off for a number of reasons. If it's really that early in the relationship, the reasons are usually big "dealbreakers" of a sort. If the women has a firm sense of her self-esteem, things like cheating and lying aren't forgiven. As such, the relationship may end abruptly, and the man is told (on no uncertain terms) to be gone. 25 Dating Dos And Don'ts [VIDEO]
The million-dollar question is: After this kind of breakup, why do some men come back or get in contact with the woman again after some time has passed? From an anonymous reader on my Facebook Page:
"I've had almost every guy of every type of relationship in the spectrum come back over the years. What prompted me to email you was that I received a well wishing text yesterday from someone I'd casually dated for a few months. It ended very badly back in February after I discovered him lying about some things. I told him to never contact me again and until yesterday, he respected my wishes. I've always said that men are like boomerangs but i never in a million years thought this one would reach out to me again for any reason especially because when I shamed him once, he confessed to everything that was going on."
Men learn from their mistakes but some of them don't learn as quickly as some women would hope, and sometimes they come back to try again after they learn some new things. This usually doesn't jibe well. The question is, why do they return? Well, here are a few possibilities: Nice Guys vs. Bad Boys - The Battle Continues
1. Epic Sex. No man wants to give up good sex. If there was a good physical relationship, it's a good reason for him to return. Is the woman able to separate the physical stuff that works in the relationship with the emotional aspects that may be lacking?

Today I'm going to talk about two weaknesses I have and two excellent books which address them. One book was recommended by my friend Brian Sharp during an awesome presentation he did at the Game Developers Conference (video coming soon, Brian?). It's called Difficult Conversations. The second is called the Time Paradox, which I got off my friend Derek's reading list (Derek provides notes for every book, which gives you a good idea of whether you'll like it or not).
Self Expression
Unless I've dated you in the past, you might be surprised to hear that I'm not very good at expressing myself. The irony, of course, is that blogs are about self expression, and the authors that make themselves most vulnerable often have the most success. But if you look at my past articles, I very rarely talk about my feelings. I'm transparent about who I am, what I do, what I've done, where I go, what I think, etc., but how I feel is notably absent.
This is mostly true in real life, as well. I joke around a lot and I'm sarcastic, often in excess, probably because it spares me the necessity of talking about how I feel about anything. In most situations this is fine, and in most situations I don't really have any feelings that ought to be talked about.
In other situations, especially in relationships, it does become a problem. An ex once called one of my friends, crying, saying "Tynan has no emotions!". When I go into a relationship and never express how I feel or show any vulnerability, I don't get as close as I could. The girl either responds by also clamming up, or by getting frustrated when she opens up and I don't. My lack of emotional output is incorrectly interpreted as a lack of interest.
Two events in my life contributed to this. Gambling is the first; being a professional gambler over a long period of time required me to disconnect somewhat from my emotions. Life is too stressful if you get excited every time you win and get upset every time you lose. By the end I could win tens of thousands in a day and it felt like a normal day. When I got busted at the end and lost more than that, I also went about my day like usual. Overall I consider this to be a positive thing, but few things are completely positive or negative. Emotions can be fun, and I don't feel a lot of them. I'm too pragmatic, maybe.
Pickup also contributed. Before pickup I made the mistake of sharing WAY too much with every girl. Beyond the point of making myself vulnerable, I would tell the girl everything I was feeling, which made my emotional state her responsibility. Since then I've been on the other side of the fence and I understand what a burden it is. The antidote in pickup is to cleverly avoid any sort of rejection by never showing any emotion. This works well in the club, but once you're trying to actually connect with someone it becomes an impediment.
I bought Difficult Conversations pretty much exclusively because Brian is an excellent communicator. He strikes a good balance between being light and serious, and I thought that maybe if I read the book I might be pulled over to the serious side a bit more.
But what Difficult Conversations boils down to (to me, at least) is how to express emotion in a reasonable way. It's so well articulated that even being as resistant to emotional self-expression as I am, I found myself nodding in agreement as I read it. The authors give a lot of examples of conversations. The "before" conversations are realistic and to the untrained reader seem hard to negotiate. The "after" conversations are also realistic and do a good job of putting the techniques in context. Near the end the examples became a bit contrived and unrealistic, but that was only the last ten percent.
Another thing I liked about Difficult Conversations was how well it handled my objections. I'd be thinking, "Yeah, but you can't just go around dropping your emotions on everyone in your path", and two chapters later they'd talk about the importance of restraint and "negotiating with your feelings".
One of the most valuable ideas I picked up from Difficult Conversations is that the conversation you think you're having isn't really the one you're having. People tend to argue the facts and blame, but these aspects don't create productive conversations. Instead, what people are actually thinking about (and trying to convert into facts and blame) are how each one contributed to the situation, how they feel about it, and how they think the situation reflects on them. The reason you talk about these things isn't to make everyone feel good and happy, but because they're the root causes of the difficult conversation, and only by addressing them can you work towards resolving the situation.
Relating to Others
I almost gave up reading Time Paradox halfway through. They have a quiz you can take to see how close to the ideal "time perspective" you are, which I took. I was dead on for all but one, which was the "future fatalistic" timeline. I expressed that I didn't have any expectation of anything happening after I die, and apparently I should believe that God is going to take care of me.
So I almost stopped reading, thinking "these guys are idiots". I still don't agree that I should believe that something magical happens after I die, but I'm really glad I stuck with the book. It talks about how each individual views the past, present, and future and how these views shape our lives and decisions.
Time Paradox is full of scientific studies, and it's made very clear that the authors have spent their lives dedicated to researching how we interact with time. The biggest thing I got out of it was an understanding of why other people make some of the decisions that they make. I can think of a number of situations where people made decisions that really baffled me: taking dumb risks, passing up huge opportunities, making weird career decisions, not making health a priority. As I read the book, though, I realized that when you see the world through different time perspectives, you have different priorities and thus make different decisions.
I've always found it difficult to put myself in other people's shoes, but Time Paradox helped a lot. Even if I wouldn't make the same decision that someone else would, I can better understand his motivations, priorities, and thought process. Fascinating and useful stuff.
By the title of the post, you might think this about to be some amazingly woven story of how restricting my calories helped me build talent and thus get married. Nope. It's just a post about a few really good books I've read recently.
Good Calories, Bad Calories
Good Calories, Bad Calories, by Gary Taubes is a pro-meat book which covers dietary "history" since the 1950s. What I liked most about it was that it covered three angles simultaneously, the political angle (which, unfortunately, seems to have as much of an impact on our nation's diet as any other angle), the research angle, and the biological angle.
We tend to overcomplicate our decisions. Most of the time we know what we should do, but don't do it. I struggle with this at times as well, however, one method I've found useful in making the right decisions is shifting perspectives. Whenever I can't decide what action to take I shift to one of two alternative perspectives.

vs New York Knicks Wednesday Mar 6 2013 - 7:30 PM EST Palace of Auburn Hills, Detroit, MI TV: FS Detroit Plus RADIO: 97.1FM GO PISTONS!
With the game being at the Palace and no Spike Lee and possibly no Carmelo, we may have a chance in this one....but we need to sit Stuckey too..
Pistons coach Lawrence Frank out tonight; Greg Monroe could be, too | Detroit Pistons | Detroit Free Press | freep.com Knicks sans Melo vs. Pistons sans coach (personal matters and whatnot), Moose (ankle tweak), and our +/- leader, Charlie Villanueva (tightness)
Greg Monroe, Charlie Villanueva game-time decisions tonight vs. Knicks - Detroit Bad Boys Don't look now, Pistons fans but Greg Monroe and Charlie Villanueva might both miss tonight's tilt against the New York Knicks. No reasons have been given but both are listed as game-time decisions. That leaves Detroit painfully thin up front as the team is already without its best big man, Andre Drummond, who is still recovering from a back injury. Head coach Lawrence Frank will also miss the game in order to deal with what the team is calling a personal family matter. Brian Hill will coach in his place. Uhm.........
Frank missed a practice since the last game too.... Does he have a CV type "personal issue"..... if we can't start rumors whats the fun I suppose.

I do own quite a few coffee table books, but I don't put them on the coffee table. The 'message' they emit seems a bit too obvious to me.
That said, I LOVE coffee table books in other people's homes! They tell you something about the dweller and are a perfect conversation starter if you need one.

AOL's twist on e-mail: You've got stacks
AOL believes it can tame the inbox with Alto, Yelp calls out review cheaters, and Google reveals a low-budget Chromebook.
Thursday's CNET Update is checking your away message:
Just when you've given up all hope of having an organized inbox, along comes AOL with a new e-mail client called Alto . Today's tech news roundup looks at how Alto manages multiple accounts and sorts messages into stacks. The service is in beta test now (so you have to sign up for an invite to try it), but it could be open to everyone by February.
In other news, Yelp is cracking down on companies that pay for reviews. If Yelp sees that a business is trying to inflate reviews, it will post an alert for 90 days to call out the company for not playing by the rules. And there will be a link to the evidence it complied. Pinterest is also getting tough. Users can now block and report questionable activity , such as posts with nudity, hate or violence.
Google announced a new Samsung Chromebook that costs $250 . But you get what you pay for: This browser-based system isn't like a typical laptop. Instead of downloading applications, everything is run through a Chrome Web browser. It's also not very powerful since it has an ARM processor. It could be something you keep around the house a tool for light online work.
The Uber app now lets you hail a taxi in San Francisco , but it dropped taxi service in New York . Uber gave up battling New York's strict taxi-payment regulations.

Public Health impact of Crematoria There are no legal requirements for emission control for crematoria in British Columbia. This is in contrast with other jurisdictions were regulators often require strict temperature control and temperature recording at various locations. Some countries require continuous monitoring and have emission limits for specific pollutants and for parameters that indicate the completeness of combustion. Crematoria are licensed to operate under the Cremation, Interment and Funeral Services Act (CIFSA)[1]. The agency overseeing the implementation of the Cemetery and Funeral Services Act is the BPCPA (Business Practices and Consumer Protection Authority of British Columbia).
Some shortcomings of the act are that there are no legal requirements for emission control, for monitoring, and for recordkeeping of maintenance activities to keep the unit operating at an optimal level to protect public health. The Business Practices and Consumer Protection Authority (BPCPA) provides on there website a crematorium operator application checklist. http://www.bpcpa.ca/Docs/cf_crematoria_application_guidelines.pdf (last updated Nov 2005, accessed Dec 2005). Some excerpts:
The number of cremations is increasing in BC, as in the rest of North America.
Mercury: Estimates of average mercury release per cremation of a human body vary considerably:
In Canada, amalgam continues to be used for tooth restorations due to its durability and low cost. The use of amalgam for new fillings in dentist office is declining and may eventually even become phased out. Maybe this problem resolves itself spontaneously in the future. In the immediate future though emissions from mercury will probably increase since there is an increase in the number of cremations and more people retain their heavily restored teeth into old age.
· Mercury has been found to be significantly elevated in the hair of crematorium workers especially in administrators who work in closed environment with limited air ventilation. Of the 97 crematoria workers, 3% had concentrations higher than 6 ppm which is considered as the maximum tolerable level. Mean mercury concentrations were 1.96 ppm for administrative personnel and 1.47 ppm for ground personnel compared to 0.97 ppm for controls. The number of amalgam fillings was taken into consideration. A limiting factor of the study is that there is no information on possible diet exposure to mercury. The authors argue that fish is only a minor part in the diet in the UK. The authors conclude that this study contributes to the evidence that emission monitoring and control is warranted. [18]
Dioxins and furans: Since cremation is a combustion process of organic matter dioxin and furans may be formed during the process due to incomplete combustion or new formation in the stack induced by high temperatures. In the USA the emission of dioxins and furans measured at a crematorium with new technology was 0.5 µg TEQ per cremated body. European test data found higher values: 4.9 µg TEQ per body at two Dutch crematoria and 7080 µg TEQ in a British crematorium with older technology. Reviewers of the EPA dioxin emission inventory report recommend to use the Dutch Data as reference.[20] A Japanese study, Takeda et al (2001) found an average of 3.9 µg and a median of 1.8 µg TEQ/body with a maximum of 24 µg TEQ/ body. The operational condition of the crematorium, mainly the temperature control, influenced to a large extent the emission of dioxins and furans. Takeda found in a study in Japan 1998 measurements ranging from 9.9pg to 6500 pg TEQ/m3 and in a second study in 2001 measurements between 64 pg TEQ/m3 and 24000 pg TEQ/m 3. [21] The authors concluded that it is necessary to take measures immediately to reduce emissions given the high volume of cremations. A recent stack test conducted by Environment Canada at a crematorium located in Mainland, Ontario detected a dioxins and furans concentration of 227 picograms ITEQ/m3 resulting in an estimated annual emission rate of .079 milligrams/year. Higher individual test run results have been noted in testing performed by a commercial source testing firm on a similar new facility in Windsor, Ontario.[22] Canada-wide standards have been developed for waste incineration, burning salt laden wood in coastal pulp and paper boilers, iron sintering, electric arc furnace steel manufacturing, and conical municipal waste combustion, crematoria are exempt.
Particulate matter and greenhouse gases. Particulate matter produced by crematoria may impact the air quality level. The production of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxides and nitrogen oxides is another factor to consider. The required energy, mostly from natural gas, electricity or propane, for the combustion of human remains is considerable. Cremation generally takes 2-3 hours in a sealed chamber, during which the temperature ranges between 760 1149 0C. In Sweden a liquid nitrogen freeze-dry process is under investigation as alternative for cremation. Another innovative idea in Sweden is the recuperation of heat generated in some crematoria. For example water used to cool exhaust gases to prevent the formation of dioxins and furans, contributes to the warming of municipal heating system. Conclusion and recommendations:
