Tell cheating wife she is heading for divorce: Ellie
Husband is a pleaser and wife is taking advantage of that by having affairs
|Report an Error
Share via Email
I'm a father of two teenage girls. I caught my wife cheating, and then discovered that she'd also cheated previously, with two other men at the same time.
She apologized, seemed remorseful. We both agreed that we had problems we didn't discuss (being open about sex, our feelings, etc.)
Then I later found a text to the last guy she was cheating with. They were sleeping with each other again. They even had an explicit photo shoot in my house.
Again, she promised me it was all a mistake.
I try to be more open with my feelings, and initiate sex more. But she recently put a password on her cellphone.
She only went with me to counselling once. I've gone in the past. I know now that I'm a pleaser and am trying to change.
I don't know if there's hope. Do I give her an ultimatum about counselling and full access to her email, phone, etc.? Make her promise she'll never contact this last guy ever again?
Treading Water
She's beyond promises.
See a lawyer privately, and get informed as to how a separation and joint involvement with your daughters would work practically, and financially.
Then tell her those facts. Say that's where she's headed. Say you'll only not proceed if she goes to counselling with you, and opens up all her technology.
A dose of hard-core realism is what's needed now. Your daughters will need counselling, too.
I'm 22, and have never fallen in love. I had a two-year relationship from age 17. In the second year, I moved three hours away for university.
It was a mediocre relationship, he lied to me constantly, but I was very naïve. It ended with him cheating on me and we broke up. Since then I've not dated anyone. I've gotten over the bad experience, which taught me more about myself, and I toughened up.
Now I keep attracting men who ask me out, or try to have flings with me. I meet these people expecting friendship, yet they never expect the same even when I make myself clear.
I reject them politely and then they walk out of my life. It makes me more adamant to stay single because of their insincerity (as in, How can they say they love me if they don't want to be my friend?).
Am I worth so little that if someone can't have my body or use me as an emotional crutch, he doesn't want me in his life? It's becoming ridiculously frequent.
Desperate for Advice
I wonder if you're as clear as you think about wanting friendship. Or, do you lack trust so much you don't give a guy a chance? Someone "asking you out" doesn't necessarily mean he only wants sex.
If someone asks right off for "a fling," that's different, and it's unlikely you'd want that person for a friend, anyway.
But when "dating," it's up to you to say you're interested in getting to know that person as a friend, "and then we can see where it goes."
If, in that case, every guy you meet wants more, you need to question what kind of guys you're meeting and where. I'm not blaming you, just saying you need to look at this from several angles.
Yes, you were hurt in your first relationship. Most people have been hurt once, or more, in romantic relationships.
To let that cloud your judgment on all others, is to hurt yourself.
Repeated cheating calls for a reality check about the consequences for the whole family.

Gilbert, a 2012 honorable mention All-Big Ten defensive lineman at Wisconsin, is slated to compete at the "rush" position for the 2013 Hurricanes defense. In April, Gilbert announced he would not return to the Wisconsin football team for the 2013 season due to recurring injuries in his right foot.
The 6-foot-4, 247-pound product from Coral Springs, Fla., recorded 42 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss and 4.0 sacks in 14 games (13 starts) as a redshirt junior in 2012 for the Badgers, who lost in the Rose Bowl. His 2011 season was cut short after four games due to a season-ending foot injury. Over his final 18 games for the Badgers, Gilbert recorded 52 tackles, 13.0 tackles for a loss of 73 yards and 7.0 sacks for a total loss of 47 yards. Gilbert started 17 of his last 18 games for Wisconsin.
Gilbert was a member of three Wisconsin bowl teams – 2009 (Champs Sports Bowl), 2011 (Rose Bowl) and 2012 (Rose Bowl). In 42 career games with the Badgers, he tallied 79 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks.
Renfrow appeared in all 12 games for Virginia in 2012, making 11 tackles on the season. As a redshirt sophomore in 2011, he appeared six of the Cavaliers' 13 games, seeing playing time against William & Mary, Indiana, North Carolina, Southern Miss and Maryland. In 2010, he saw limited action on defense in four games as a redshirt freshman for the Cavaliers.
Kamalu, a native of Fayetteville, Ga., signed with the Hurricanes in February out of Butler Community College in Kansas. As a sophomore at Butler in 2012, he recorded 54 tackles, 7.5 sacks, 14 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Arizona State reveals new Sparky
The fans have spoken, and now Arizona State University finally has its updated mascot.
It puts an end to a saga that began on March 1, when the school unveiled a redesigned Sparky, much to the dismay of many students, fans and alumni.
So, less than three weeks later the school decided to scrap the design and instead give the power to those who were upset. Students, alumni, season ticket holders, donors, faculty and staff were eligible to vote for one of four options starting April 22. The voting ended May 5.
Several students weighed in about the new, new Sparky on Wednesday.
"It looks pretty intimidating, said Kelly Chase. "I think it's a good thing for a mascot."
"It's better than the first redesign," said Andy Francis. "The first redesign was horrible."
"That is a kick-butt looking Sun Devil," said Mary Anderson. "I really like it."
Other people aren't so sure. One girl said the new Sparky looks kind of like a Bumble Bee.
KTAR's Bob McClay contributed to this report.

Easter blessings from UCAN
Dear Reader,
There is no more important week in the year for Christians than this Holy Week. We call it Holy because of the mystery we celebrate - God's gift of His son who loves us to his death on Calvary and beyond.
Because of that love, we wish each other Happy Easter even when we know there is a lot of tragedy about it - Good Friday. As Christians, we know that what we see happening with and in Jesus goes to the heart of what we know from our own experience of life.
At the Second Vatican Council, the Christian lives we all lead were described as being shares in the Paschal Mystery. We have our share in the death and resurrection of Jesus every day. Our lives are part of the Paschal Mystery.
At UCAN, we work to describe that mystery in the unfolding tragedies and astonishing blessings of the people we seek out and report, feature and comment on.
While at times deeply distressing work, this effort of ours gets its coherence in the same way the death of Jesus did - because of the astonishing grace of a God who never gives up on life and love.
Because of that, we can wish you Happy Easter.
Best Wishes,
Fr. Michael Kelly SJ
Executive Director
"The Spirit of the Lord is Upon Me"
- International
- January 10, 2013
In today's reading, Jesus is present in Nazareth and makes his appearance in the synagogue, where he is invited to preach and give a blessing. Prayers on the Sabbath usually consisted of two readings from the prophets, a short homily and a final blessing.
Jesus opens the scroll to the section of the prophet - the Second Isaiah, chapter 61 - and reads the text. It pithily describes the mission of the Servant of the Lord:
to announce the good news to the poor; release for prisoners, and recovery of sight for the blind; to let the broken victims go free; and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour.
Today political parties speak of a manifesto, a declaration of what they intend to do if elected. These lines are Jesus's manifesto, a statement of intent on what he's been sent to do, his tasks as messiah.
By virtue of his baptism, Jesus acknowledges that the Spirit of God is upon him and he has been anointed for a mission. To be anointed is another word for 'Christ', for messiah.
So Jesus's mission is to proclaim a time of peace and blessings upon all, as happens during a jubilee year when all debts were wiped away and the land was restored to its original owners. This 'year of grace' was characterized by its universality; everyone was a beneficiary, no one was precluded. This is the essence of the 'good news'. All those in situations of deprivation – the poor, prisoners, the broken-hearted, the blind – will have wholeness and abundance restored to them. And this will be done now.
Today, says Jesus, in your very hearing, this text has come true.
Did his listeners in the synagogue understand the importance of his words? They certainly admired his speech. Perhaps they did not fully grasp the changes which had to come about, for this situation of grace and freedom to exist. That is what Jesus will do during the years ahead when he preaches and teaches, heals and challenges.
All that his later public ministry would accomplish is indicated by Jesus in that opening speech in the synagogue in Nazareth.

New Roky Erickson & Okkervil River: "Goodbye Sweet Dreams"
By Tom Breihan on February 22, 2010 at 1:00 p.m. EST
Roky Erickson & Okkervil River: Goodbye Sweet Dreams
Here's a feelgood story for you: The troubled Texas psych legend and former 13th Floor Elevators frontman Roky Erickson is back. Anyone who's seen the documentary You're Gonna Miss Me knows that this guy has not had an easy life. The image of Erickson, his hair matted and his fingernails long, cranking up several TVs and radios to top volume because the resulting ungodly din was the only way he could fall asleep-- well, he didn't exactly look like someone ready to jump back into a recording studio. So consider his return a happy surprise.
This spring, Erickson will release True Love Cast Out All Evil, his first album of new material in 14 years. Fellow Austinites Okkervil River back him on the album, and Okkervil frontman Will Sheff serves as producer. The album includes found sound and archival recordings from the time Erickson spent confined at a hospital for the criminally insane in the early 70s. Anti- will release the LP in the U.S. on April 20, and the UK release will come on June 7 via Chemikal Underground.
Up above, you can stream and download "Goodbye Sweet Dreams", the first song we've heard from the album. Below, you'll find the tracklist.
Okkervil River Team With Roky Erickson for New Album
By Ryan Dombal on January 12, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. EST
Fourteen years after his last album of original material, psych-rock legend and onetime 13th Floor Elevators frontman Roky Erickson is readying a new record called True Love Cast Out All Evil, out April 20 via Anti-. And he got some top-shelf help to bring his songs to life: fellow Austinites Okkervil River back Erickson on the whole LP, and Okkervil frontman Will Sheff produces. The team-up isn't a surprise, since Erickson played with Okkervil River at SXSW in 2008 and 2009.

Excerpts of Highly Inspiring News Stories in Major Media
Marijuana stops child's severe seizures2013-08-07, CNNPosted: 2013-12-30 16:08:20http://edition.cnn.com/2013/08/07/health/charlotte-child-medical-marijuana/in...
Charlotte and Chase were born October 18, 2006. They were healthy. Everything was normal. The twins were 3 months old when the Figis' lives changed forever. [Charlotte had a] seizure [which] lasted about 30 minutes. Her parents rushed her to the hospital. They did a million-dollar work-up ... and found nothing. A week later, Charlotte had another seizure. Over the next few months, Charlotte ... had frequent seizures lasting two to four hours, and she was hospitalized repeatedly. She was [put] on seven drugs -- some of them heavy-duty, addictive ones such as barbiturates and benzodiazepines. They'd work for a while, but the seizures always came back with a vengeance. At 2, she really started to decline cognitively. In November 2000, Colorado voters approved Amendment 20, which required the state to set up a medical marijuana registry program. [Then Charlotte's father Matt] found a video online of a California boy whose [seizures were] being successfully treated with cannabis. [Her parents started] Charlotte out on a small dose. By then Charlotte had lost the ability to walk, talk and eat. She was having 300 grand mal seizures a week. The results were stunning. The seizures stopped for ... seven days. [Now] Charlotte gets a dose of the cannabis oil twice a day. [It has] stopped the seizures. Today, Charlotte, 6, is thriving. Not only is she walking, she can ride her bicycle.
Note: There have been plentiful stories of miraculous healing from marijuana, but this may be the first time the major media is reporting it (see links at the bottom of this article for more). That's exciting! We may be seeing a major change here. For a treasure trove of great news articles which will inspire you to make a difference, click here.
Mysterious ingredients vanish from food labels2013-12-18, Boston Globe/Associated PressPosted: 2013-12-23 16:02:10http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2013/12/18/food-labels-get-closer-look-in...
Take another look at that food label. An ingredient or two may have vanished. As Americans pay closer attention to what they eat, food and beverage companies are learning that unfamiliar ingredients can invite criticism from online petitions and bloggers. The risk of damaging publicity has proven serious enough that some manufacturers have reformulated top-selling products to remove mysterious, unpronounceable components that could draw suspicion. Earlier this year, for example, PepsiCo Inc. said it would stop using brominated vegetable oil in Gatorade and find a another way to evenly distribute color in the sports drink. Last year, Starbucks said it would stop using a red dye made of crushed bugs based on comments it received "through a variety of means," including an online petition, and switch to a tomato-based extract. Kraft Foods plans to replace artificial dyes with colors derived from natural spices in select varieties of its macaroni and cheese, a nod to the feedback it's hearing from parents. Ali Dibadj, a Bernstein analyst who covers the packaged food and beverage industry, says the changes reflect a shift from "democratization to activism" by consumers. "It used to be that people would just decide not to buy the product. Now they're actually agitating for change," Dibadj said. "There's a bullhorn — which is the Internet — so you can get a lot of people involved very quickly." In the past, a customer complaint about an ingredient may have been addressed with a boilerplate letter from corporate headquarters. But now people can go online to share their concerns with thousands of like-minded individuals.

'Afterlife' feels 'even more real than real,' researcher says2013-04-09, CNNPosted: 2013-12-23 16:00:38http://edition.cnn.com/2013/04/09/health/belgium-near-death-experiences
If your hospital is in Belgium, Dr. Steven Laureys may pay you a visit, interested to hear what you remember from your NDE, or near-death experience. Laureys heads the Coma Science Group at the university hospital in the city of Liege. NDEs feel "even more real than real," Laureys said. Laureys and his team studied the near-death memories of people who survived -- in particular those of coma patients -- with the help of a psychological examination. The Memory Characteristics Questionnaire tests for sensory and emotional details of recollections and how people relive them in space and time. In other words, it gauges how present, intense and real a memory is. They compared NDEs with other memories of intense real-life events like marriages and births, but also with memories of dreams and thoughts. Memories of important real-life events are more intense than those of dreams or thoughts, Laureys said. "If you use this questionnaire ... if the memory is real, it's richer, and if the memory is recent, it's richer," he said. "To our surprise, NDEs were much richer than any imagined event or any real event of these coma survivors," Laureys reported. The memories of these experiences beat all other memories, hands down, for their vivid sense of reality. "The difference was so vast," he said with a sense of astonishment. Even if the patient had the experience a long time ago, its memory was as rich "as though it was yesterday," Laureys said. "Sometimes, it is hard for them (the patients) to find words to explain it."

Microlending: Do Good, Make Money?2009-02-17, CBS NewsPosted: 2013-12-23 15:59:17http://www.cbsnews.com/news/microlending-do-good-make-money/
I've long been a fan of microfinance or microlending where a small loan can make a big difference. To date, I've made several small investments via both Microplace.com and Kiva.org. And, in addition to doing good, I'm doing well. The money is loaned to poor people--mostly women--in various parts of the world. Microlending, like other uninsured investments, is subject to all sorts of risks. But, based on past performance, the odds of seeing your money again are pretty high. Historically, 97 percent of low-income borrowers have paid back their microfinance loans. Kiva.org is a not-for-profit organization. From a user perspective, one of the big differences between the two organizations is that Kiva doesn't pay interest. Also, Kiva is a bit more "peer to peer" in that its Web site shows you information about the specific entrepreneur who will be receiving your loan. One feature I like about Kiva is that you can purchase gift certificates for as little as $25. That's what I'm now doing for the children in my life. By giving them a Kiva gift certificate they and their parents get to chose who to loan it to and, eventually, the child gets the $25 back. It's a good long-term investment in social consciousness. And, yes, I've put my money where my words are. After a couple of years investing in both Kiva and Microplace, I have nothing but happy (albeit small) returns.

The Science Of Conquering Your Fears -- And Living A More Courageous Life2013-09-15, Huffington PostPosted: 2013-12-23 15:56:47http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/15/conquering-fear_n_3909020.html
Aristotle believed courage to be the most important quality in a man. "Courage is the first of human virtues because it makes all others possible," he wrote. Recent research has begun to move toward an understanding of what courage is and how we might be able to cultivate the ability to face our fear and make decisions with greater fortitude. Neuroscientists recently determined just how courage works in the brain, finding that a region called the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) is the driving force behind courageous acts -- a conclusion which could one day prove useful in treating anxiety disorders. So how can we train our minds to act more courageously in everyday life? Other recent research on courage [has] shown that's it's not just about facing fear, but also about coping with risk and uncertainty (as Ernest Hemingway put it, courage is "grace under pressure.") And, it seems, we can make ourselves more courageous with practice and effort. Six tried-and-true ways to loosen the grip of fear on your life -- and become more courageous than you ever imagined: Be vulnerable. Acknowledge your fears. Expose yourself to what you fear. Think positive. Manage stress [with exercise and meditation]. Practice courageous acts.
Uruguay's president José Mujica: no palace, no motorcade, no frills2013-12-13, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)Posted: 2013-12-17 10:15:09http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/13/uruguay-president-jose-mujica
If anyone could claim to be leading by example in an age of austerity, it is José Mujica, Uruguay's president, who has forsworn a state palace in favour of a farmhouse, donates the vast bulk of his salary to social projects, flies economy class and drives an old Volkswagen Beetle. But the former guerrilla fighter is clearly disgruntled by those who tag him "the world's poorest president" and – much as he would like others to adopt a more sober lifestyle – the 78-year-old has been in politics long enough to recognise the folly of claiming to be a model for anyone. "If I asked people to live as I live, they would kill me," Mujica said during an interview in his small but cosy one-bedroom home set amid chrysanthemum fields outside Montevideo. The president is a former member of the Tupamaros guerrilla group, which was notorious in the early 1970s for bank robberies, kidnappings and distributing stolen food and money among the poor. He was shot by police six times and spent 14 years in a military prison, much of it in dungeon-like conditions. Since becoming leader of Uruguay in 2010, however, he has won plaudits worldwide for living within his means, decrying excessive consumption and pushing ahead with policies on same-sex marriage, abortion and cannabis legalisation that have reaffirmed Uruguay as the most socially liberal country in Latin America. But the man who is best known as Pepe says those who consider him poor fail to understand the meaning of wealth. "I'm not the poorest president. The poorest is the one who needs a lot to live," he said. "My lifestyle is a consequence of my wounds. I'm the son of my history."
Small-house movement: Living in 120 square feet2013-12-12, San Francisco Chronicle (SF's leading newspaper)Posted: 2013-12-17 10:13:57http://www.sfgate.com/realestate/article/Small-house-movement-Living-in-120-s...
Jay Shafer sweats the small stuff. Hopping into a waist-high metal bathtub smaller than a shower stall, Shafer swung a faucet over his head to demonstrate how one bathes in the combination tub/shower/sink. Gesturing at the composting toilet a foot away, he added: "This bathroom is the part of this house I'm proudest of. It was inspired by the Japanese model of being very compact and very efficient. The whole room is 11 square feet, smaller than a standard closet." Thinking small, targeting simplicity and paying meticulous attention to detail exemplify Shafer's craft: designing tiny houses. The Sonoma County resident is considered a father of the tiny house movement, a burgeoning trend to live more efficiently in less space. "Jay articulated and popularized a philosophy of live small, live debt free, and have more time and freedom to pursue your life's passions," said Ryan Mitchell, editor of TheTinyLife.com, a website dedicated to living in small-scale structures. "He backed it up with some really attractive designs." From a 119-square-foot house in Graton, Shafer, 49, writes books about small dwellings; whips up blueprints for Craftsman-style houses ranging from 98 to 288 square feet; plans weekend workshops for DIYers; and sketches out his latest brainstorm: an entire village with dozens of tiny dwellings, each less than 400 square feet, plus a larger common house and other shared amenities, to be erected in Sonoma County. In fact, the county is a hotbed of the small-house movement, with an annual exhibit at the Sonoma County Fair, several small-house companies and at least 100 tiny dwellings.

This Bullying Social Experiment Is Incredibly Eye-Opening2013-12-02, Huffington PostPosted: 2013-12-17 10:12:23http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/02/bullying-experiment_n_4372734.html
No one is immune from bullying. Whether you are the oppressor, the victim or the witness, you are part of a cycle that needs to end. A new video shows just how much power a bystander has. "By watching an act of bullying with the thought of, 'I was going to step in if it kept going,' you may be too late," says a description for [the] video. This video highlights that passive bystanders are as much to blame as the actual bully because they have the capacity to do something. This doesn't necessarily mean directly intervening, the video points out. It could mean getting a more able-bodied person to step in, filming or calling for help. At the end of the video, a group of people ignore the violence -- perhaps because of a diffusion of responsibility, a phenomenon that psychologists say happens when a task is placed before a group of people, but each assumes the other will take action. When everyone has this same thought, however, no one does anything. The hope is that videos like these will help to educate and empower bystanders to help end bullying.

Why is Sweden closing its prisons?2013-12-01, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)Posted: 2013-12-17 09:53:45http://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/dec/01/why-sweden-closing-prisons
Swedish prisons have long had a reputation around the world as being liberal and progressive. The head of Sweden's prison and probation service, Nils Oberg, announced in November that four Swedish prisons are to be closed due to an "out of the ordinary" decline in prisoner numbers. Although there has been no fall in crime rates, between 2011 and 2012 there was a 6% drop in Sweden's prisoner population, now a little over 4,500. A similar decrease is expected this year and the next. The Swedes [have] managed to maintain a broadly humane approach to sentencing, even of the most serious offenders: jail terms rarely exceed 10 years; those who receive life imprisonment can still apply to the courts after a decade to have the sentence commuted to a fixed term, usually in the region of 18 to 25 years. Sweden was the first country in Europe to introduce the electronic tagging of convicted criminals and continues to strive to minimise short-term prison sentences wherever possible by using community-based measures – proven to be more effective at reducing reoffending. The overall reoffending rate in Sweden stands at between 30 and 40% over three years – around half that in the UK. One likely factor that has kept reoffending down and the rate of incarceration in Sweden below 70 per 100,000 head of population – less than half the figure for England and Wales – is that the age of criminal responsibility is set at 15. Unlike the UK, where a life sentence can be handed down to a 10-year-old, in Sweden no young person under the age of 21 can be sentenced to life and every effort is made to ensure that as few juvenile offenders as possible end up in prison.

US bishop dresses up as homeless man to expose congregation's lack of compassion2013-11-29, The Telegraph (One of the UK's leading newspapers)Posted: 2013-12-10 10:42:35http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/10483026/US-bishop...
An American bishop who disguised himself as a homeless man to give a sermon about compassion was asked to leave his church by unknowing congregants. David Musselman, a Mormon cleric near Salt Lake City, Utah, said he wanted to teach members of his church to be kind to all people. "To be Christ-like, just acknowledge them," he said. Mr Musselman recruited a professional makeup artist to transform his face and wore a wooly hat, thick spectacles, a false beard and a fake scar. Even his own family did not recognise him. "The main thing I was trying to get across was we don't need to be so quick to judge," Mr Musselman told his local television news station. "Many actually went out of their way to purposefully ignore me, and they wouldn't even make eye contact," he said. "I'd approach them and say, 'Happy Thanksgiving'." After being asked to leave by five people, Mr Musselman walked to the pulpit during a service and disclosed his true identity by taking off his wig, fake beard and glasses. "It had a shock value that I did not anticipate," he said. "I really did not have any idea that the members of my ward would gasp as big as they did." Mr Musselman said he was touched by the reaction of younger members of the church. "I was impressed by the children," he said. "I could see in their eyes they wanted to do more". Mr Musselman, whose stunt came just before the Thanksgiving holiday, said that he did not intend to embarrass the members of his church or make them feel ashamed. Instead, he said, he wanted them to remember to be kind all year long to people from all walks of life.
'Before I Die' walls turn dreams into words2013-11-29, CNNPosted: 2013-12-10 10:41:03http://edition.cnn.com/2013/11/29/living/before-i-die-walls-book/index.html
After losing a close friend to liver failure, Candy Chang spent a lot of time thinking about how she wanted to live out her days. Contemplating death brought clarity to her life, but she struggled to maintain perspective amid the daily grind. She wondered whether other people went through the same struggle, and what mattered to them. She decided to invite others to share those thoughts by painting a chalkboard on the side of an abandoned house in New Orleans stenciled with the sentence "Before I die I want to ________." What began as an experiment in making a public space into a shared space has become a global art project, with more than 400 "Before I die" walls in 60 countries and 25 languages. It's been quite the journey for Chang, who did not launch the project with plans to expand beyond New Orleans. But it resonated among pockets of passionate people around the globe. "Our public spaces are our shared spaces, and they have a lot of potential to offer us a more valuable and meaningful kind of life. I think about why we came together in the first place. Some of the earliest gathering places were graves and sacred groves. We gathered so we could grieve together and worship together and console one another and be alone together." We asked Chang to [share] the most common themes expressed in the walls. "Abandon all insecurities" "Come to terms with who I am" "Slow down for a moment and maybe even stop" "Find serenity" "Stop being afraid".
Stories of life, death and faith: 'To Heaven and Back' - Mary Neal2013-11-29, CNNPosted: 2013-12-10 10:39:44http://edition.cnn.com/2013/11/29/us/to-heaven-and-back
It was January 14, 1999, and Mary Neal ... crested at the top of the first big drop in the river. She looked down into what she later described as a bottomless pit. Then she went over. The front end of her boat got pinned in the rocks, submerging her in the water. Pinned in the boat and out of air, Neal started to give up. "I really gave it all over to God, and I really said, 'Your will be done,'" she said. [She] was sucked out of the bottom of the boat by the current -- with her legs bending back over her knees. "I could feel the bones breaking. I could feel the ligaments and the tissue tearing. I felt my spirit peeling away from my body, sort of like peeling two pieces of tape," Neal recounted. As one of her friends grabbed her wrist to try to pull her out of the water, Neal realized she was outside her body watching the rescue effort. "I could see them pull my body to the shore. I could see them start CPR," she said. "I had no pulse, and I wasn't breathing. One fellow was yelling at me to come back. ...My body was purple and bloated. My pupils were fixed and dilated." She watched people work on her, but she felt none of it. "When I saw my body, I actually thought 'Well, I guess I am dead. I guess I really did die,'" Neal said. As she watched, she said she was met by "these people or these spirits" who started to guide her toward a brightly lit path toward what appeared to be a domed structure. "It was exploding, not just with light and brilliance and color but with love," she said. There, she spoke with the spirits. They told her it was not her time to die, that she still had a job to finish, Neal said. Then she was back in her body, breathing again. Those involved estimate that Neal had been without oxygen for 30 minutes.

Stories of life, death and faith: 'To Heaven and Back' - Anita Moorjani2013-11-29, CNNPosted: 2013-12-10 10:38:20http://edition.cnn.com/2013/11/29/us/to-heaven-and-back
On February 2, 2006, Anita Moorjani was in a coma. With her body riddled with cancer, doctors told her husband that her organs were shutting down and she likely would not make it beyond the next 36 hours. "I was just so tired of fighting to try to stay alive," she said. So she said she let go. The next morning, she didn't wake up. Her husband rushed her to the hospital, where the family was told the bad news: Moorjani was in a coma and not expected to wake again. Moorjani can't put her finger on the exact minute that she says she left her body. She saw her husband standing next to her hospital bed. Moorjani could also hear conversations that took place between her husband and her doctors, far from her hospital room. She heard them, she said, discuss her pending death. "Your wife's heart might be beating, but she's not really in there," a doctor told her husband -- a conversation, she said, he would later confirm to her after she asked. Hovering between life and death, she said she was surrounded by people who loved her. Her [deceased] best friend, Soni, was there. So was her father, who had died years earlier from heart failure. There were others there, too. She knew they loved her and cared for her. It was a feeling unlike anything she says she had ever felt. "At first, I did not want to come back. Why would I want to come back into this sick body?" she said. About 30 hours after being hospitalized, Moorjani awoke.
Within days, she said, her organs began to function again. Within weeks, doctors could find no evidence of cancer in her body, she said.

Peaceable Kingdom's games emphasize cooperation2013-11-27, San Francisco Chronicle (SF's leading newspaper)Posted: 2013-12-02 09:23:47http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Peaceable-Kingdom-s-games-emphasize-co...
"Feed the Woozle" and "Hoot Owl Hoot!" are the top-selling titles from Berkeley's Peaceable Kingdom, which is making a name for itself with games for toddlers and families that emphasize cooperation over competition. The small, family-owned business tries to promote the value and fun of everyone working together. Its line of games is staunchly nondigital, encouraging face-to-face interactions instead of "screen time." "Cooperative games are a microcosm of how children can play differently," said company president Donna Jaffe. Child-development experts say the community-focused games can play a valuable role, teaching shared decision-making and problem-solving. "They have a lot of merit for classroom and family use," said Berkeley's Stevanne Auerbach, who reviews playthings at www.drtoy.com. "Kids can cut out the one-upmanship and learn to develop strategies and friendly connections. Many parents want their children to have the experience of playing games without feeling as if they have to win or lose." "Their games are in my therapy bag all the time," said Sherry Artemenko, a Connecticut speech pathologist who reviews games at www.playonwords.com. "Kids learn to help each other and work as a team. There's a lot of learning involved: You talk to each other, take different actions. There are visual skills as well as math and language." With slightly more than $5 million in sales, Peaceable Kingdom is minute compared with giants like Hasbro and Mattel. It has eschewed mass-market retailers like Target and Toys R Us, instead sticking to smaller local toy stores and some chains like Barnes & Noble and Pottery Barn.
The Pope's bold new vision2013-11-26, CNN blogPosted: 2013-12-02 09:22:18http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2013/11/26/the-popes-bold-new-vision/
Pope Francis on [November 26] issued a bold new document – in Vatican parlance an "apostolic exhortation" – called Evangelii Gaudium or "The Joy of the Gospel." In this document, he sets out an exciting new vision of how to be a church. It is to be a joyful community of believers completely unafraid of the modern world, completely unafraid of change and completely unafraid of challenges. The exhortation [expresses] an overriding concern for the poor in the world. Francis champions an idea that has lately been out of favor: the church's "preferential option" for the poor. "God's heart has a special place for the poor," the Pope says. But it is not enough simply to say that God loves the poor in a special way and leave it at that. We must be also vigilant in our care and advocacy for them. Everyone must do this, says the Pope. "None of us can think we are exempt from concern for the poor and for social justice." And in case anyone misses the point, after a critique of the "idolatry of money" and an "economy of exclusion," the Pope says: "The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but he is obliged in the name of Christ to remind all that the rich must help, respect and promote the poor. I exhort you to generous solidarity and a return of economics and finance to an ethical approach which favors human beings." This does not mean simply caring for the poor, it means addressing the structures that keep them poor: "The need to resolve the structural causes of poverty cannot be delayed."

Police Arrest Aerialist for Performing Above the Williamsburg Bridge2011-11-21, The AtlanticPosted: 2013-12-02 09:20:55http://www.theatlantic.com/video/archive/2011/11/police-arrest-aerialist-for-...
In July, 24-year-old Seanna Sharpe scaled the Williamsburg Bridge to perform a jaw-dropping, and totally illegal, acrobatics show. Shortly thereafter, she was arrested and handcuffed. According to this short documentary, she was charged with a felony, which was later reduced to a misdemeanor. Fans raised her bail in under an hour, via Twitter. Filmmaker and artist Ronen V captures the whole amazing story in this video, incorporating footage shot by the crowd on cell phones and cameras.

A Murmuration of Starlings2011-11-03, The AtlanticPosted: 2013-12-02 09:15:37http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/11/video-a-murmuration-of-...
This is your moment of zen today. Two adventurers set out in a canoe and happened upon a [flock of] starlings (collectively known as a murmuration) doing their amazing collective dance in the sky. Watch the video. Just take it in. The starlings' coordinated movements do not seem possible, but then, there they are, doing it. Scientists have been similarly fascinated by starling movement. Those synchronized dips and waves seem to hold secrets about perception and group dynamics. Last year, Italian theoretical physicist Giorgio Parisi took on the challenge of explaining the [phenomenon]. What he found ... is that the math equations that best describe starling movement are borrowed "from the literature of 'criticality,' of crystal formation and avalanches -- systems poised on the brink, capable of near-instantaneous transformation." They call it "scale-free correlation," and it means that no matter how big the flock, "If any one bird turned and changed speed, so would all the others." It's a beautiful phenomenon to behold. And neither biologists nor anyone else can yet explain how starlings seem to process information and act on it so quickly. It's precisely the lack of lag between the birds' movements that make the flocks so astonishing.

Are we all psychic? Scientists believe that animals - including humans - have a collective consciousness2013-11-19, Daily Mail (One of the UK's largest-circulation newspapers)Posted: 2013-11-26 07:59:57http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2509971/Are-PSYCHIC-Scientists...
Why do people think about someone right before they call, for example, or 'have a feeling' something is about to happen before it does? It may be due to something called collective consciousness - a term used by certain scientists to describe the practice of humans, and animals, sharing behaviours and ideas with each other telepathically. The "Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon", for example, was an idea put forward by South African zoologist and ethologist Lyall Watson and his scientific author colleague Lawrence Blair in 1975. During the 1950s, macaques on the island of Koshima learned to wash sweet potatoes and explicitly passed this skill onto younger members of the group. This behaviour then spread and was observed on neighbouring islands among groups of macaques who had never [come] into contact with each other. [Watson and Blair] chalked this up to the monkeys sharing a collective consciousness, often referred to as a 'shared mind' or 'hive mind', in which the practices were shared telepathically. More recently ... blue tits ... taught themselves [to] break into milk bottles and drink the cream from the top. Similar groups of the same [non-migratory] species [later] exhibited the same skills in other countries throughout Europe and Asia. A science journal in 2010 published [the results of experiments] by Professor Daryl Bem, a physicist from Cornell University, that [indicated] humans have similar psychic abilities supposedly seen in the birds and monkeys. Professor Bem carried out nine different experiments involving more than 1,000 volunteers and all but one came down on the side of these so-called psychic theories.

Whiz kid from Sierra Leone built own battery, radio transmitter2012-11-20, NBC NewsPosted: 2013-11-26 07:58:01http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/whiz-kid-sierra-leone-built-own-battery-rad...
Kelvin Doe's neighborhood in Sierra Leone has power lines, but they seldom deliver electricity. So, the 16-year-old whiz kid built his own battery out of acid, soda, and metal parts scavenged from trash bins that he now uses to light up area homes and help him work on his own inventions. Among other gadgets to his credit are a homemade radio transmitter, plus a generator to power it, that he uses to run his own community radio station under the handle DJ Focus. "People normally call me DJ Focus in my community because I believe if you focus you can do invention perfectly," he said in a video. Doe's engineering prowess was noticed by David Monina Sengeh, a graduate student MIT Media Lab, during a summer innovation camp called Innovate Salone that he runs in Sierra Leone. Sengeh arranged for Doe to visit the top-flight engineering school this fall. "It's an opportunity for him to create the future that he wants to live in," Sengeh said in the video. Check it out below to learn more about Doe's inspirational story and his inventions.

Quantum weirdness: What we call 'reality' is just a state of mind2009-03-17, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)Posted: 2013-11-26 07:56:36http://www.theguardian.com/science/blog/2009/mar/17/templeton-quantum-entangl...
What quantum mechanics tells us ... is surprising to say the least. It tells us that the basic components of objects – the particles, electrons, quarks etc. – cannot be thought of as "self-existent". The reality that they, and hence all objects, are components of is merely "empirical reality". This reality is something that, while not a purely mind-made construct as radical idealism would have it, can be but the picture our mind forces us to form of [a] mysterious, non-conceptualisable "ultimate reality", not embedded in space and (presumably) not in time either. The quantum mechanical formalism ... compels us to consider that two particles that have once interacted always remain bound in a very strange, hardly understandable way even when they are far apart, the connection being independent of distance. Even though this connection-at-a-distance does not permit us to transmit messages, clearly it is real. In other words space, so essential in classical physics, seems to play a considerably less basic role in quantum physics. [Erwin] Schrödinger had even given [this reality] a name: entanglement, and had claimed entanglement is essential. A real breakthrough took place [when John Bell] published his famous inequalities, which - for the first time - opened a possibility of testing whether or not entanglement-at-a-distance had experimentally testable consequences. Entanglement-at-a-distance does physically exist, in the sense that it has physically verifiable (and verified) consequences. Which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that some of our most engrained notions about space and causality should be reconsidered.

Hey, I had the same issue installing Windows 8 Pro on my Samsung Series 7 Slate. After frantically Binging for an answer, around 1am (the night W8 launched) I tried a solution. All I did was I simply disabled 'UEFI Boot Support' in the BIOS. After I did that and rebooted and tried the install again, it worked perfectly and the installer saw my drive.
Hope I was able to help!

All quotes tagged Silence
(798 quotes found)
"Silence reigns. We do not have information. We lack information, especially from the presiding country."
"Silence propagates itself, and the longer talk has been suspended, the more difficult it is to find anything to say."
"One finds his inner being when in silence... in isolation, apart from the loudness of the world and the chaotic world that turned to be. When you give yourself that moment, everything else in your past whirls around you. By then you realize why it came to be."
"We didn't do much talking at halftime. We sat in silence and thought about what's been our goal for our seniors."
"It's another instance of abuse of people who speak out against the government, for whatever reason. They silence critics and find various ways of punishing them."

Fed 100 winner Noel Dickover has joined the U.S. Institute of Peace.
Noel Dickover, the State Department's Office of eDiplomacy guru for the past three years and one of the coordinators largely responsible for its successful TechCamps program, left last week to begin a new position with the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP). He started in the new position on July 29.
Dickover announced the move on Twitter, saying he had a "terrific 3 years" at State and that he was looking forward to working on USIP's Peace-Tech Lab. He started at the State Department on July 1, 2010.
Dickover told FCW his work at USIP will focus on using low-cost technology like crowdsourcing to build peace and help stabilize social culture, particularly in developing countries.
"It gives me an opportunity to build technology for social good ecosystems in developing countries," Dickover said.
USIP is an independent, federally funded nonpartisan institution established by Congress to help manage international conflicts without violence.
Dickover is highly respected for his work at the Office of eDiplomacy, earning a Fed 100 award in 2012 for his efforts training grassroots organizations all over the world and increasing their digital capacity through interactive TechCamp meetings.
His efforts in organizing and executing TechCamps in places including Thailand, Israel, India, the Ukraine, Moldova and Zanzibar empowered nongovernmental organizations to adopt tech-savvy approaches to issues pertaining to disaster response, economy opportunity, empowering women and in some cases, democracy.
"Technologists love to be Superman," Dickover told FCW in a 2012 interview. "The TechCamp format gives them that opportunity."
State offered no insight on who might replace Dickover.

Bombs Away: The Worst Flicks from Cecil B. DeMille Award Winners
The best jokes of the last few Golden Globes have come at George Clooney's expense, including last night's 72nd annual boozy Oscar warm-up. The jabs were especially expected this year, as Clooney received the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award. Established by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in 1952, the accolade recognizes "outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment."
Between Clooney and DeMille, the award's namesake and first recipient, have come honorees such as Walt Disney, Frank Sinatra, and Judy Garland. Despite the legendary status of these entertainers, no one gets to the Golden Globes stage without making a terrible movie they'll regret forever (well, no one except Quvenzhané Wallis). To prove it, and to make us all feel better, here are the worst films made by Cecil B. DeMille award winners from the last 10 years.

Donate Items For Easter Retreat Silent Auction
The Missions Committee is soliciting new and used items (new items for the silent auction and used ones for the garage sale scheduled for this summer). Feel free to bring items to the fellowship, or contact any of the committee members if you have items for pick up. Pick up can be scheduled at your convenience. Contact Sister Caroline by phone call or text message, or any of the committee members. All contributions will go towards the missions supported by ACF and very much appreciated.
Due to ongoing work on site, our temporary place of meeting is, until further notice, as follow:
Christ Church International - 3015 13th Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN 55407
African Christian Fellowship (ACF) is an interdenominational Christian organization committed to being a thriving Christian Community that models integrity, excellence, and compassion. ACF has grown to over fifty (50) chapters located in several states of the United States.
The ACF, Minnesota chapter was founded in 1982. We function as an organization of African Christians in the Diaspora, who through fellowship strive to create better societies both where we reside and in the continent of Africa. ACF Minnesota seeks to facilitate unity amongst African Christians of all denominations, build bridges between Africans in Minnesota and people around the world.
Our Focus
- Promote Christian fellowship and worship
- Mobilize African Christians for effective Godly living
- Work together with other Christian groups to support Africa through mission and evangelistic activities, prayer, and financial support
- Be involved in areas of social concern such as:
- Helping newly arrived Africans to get familiarized with their new environment
- Encourage all members to actively participate in their local churches
- Provide counseling and financial support whenever possible
ACF is not a church; we are a fellowship of believers (Africans and non-Africans) where each member is strongly encouraged to find a church home, and to be an active contributing member of that local Church body.
Our Meeting Times
The fellowship meets on fridays.
Our meetings are 6:30 pm to 8:00pm
Africa Day of Prayer: October 17, 2015

Light Asylum: Dark-Wave Duo Bring Unholy Mood Pieces to the Dance Floor
Who: Brooklyn's Light Asylum are as prone to moments of militancy as bouts of beauty. The project pairs the production skills of Bruno Coviello, 32, and the commanding contralto of Shannon Funchess, 40, whose high energy and moody mastery of the mic have earned her comparisons to both Grace Jones and Ian Curtis. After coming together in 2009, the duo shot through the local scene like conjoined meteors, making such an impact with their live show that James Murphy once said the mere idea of having time to produce for them was reason enough to bust up LCD Soundsystem. Sounds Like: Today's electronic futurism hacked by an older era's dystopic visions. Funchess came up in 1980s Seattle, where electronic body music and the funk-punk movements of the era merged with the prevalent DIY punk and indie culture.
Slugabed, 'Time Team' (Ninja Tune)

Shirley Manson Talks Through Garbage's Discography
Listen to SPIN's premiere of Garbage's May 14 album Not Your Kind of People here now! Plus read Shirley Manson's SPIN Interview. 1995 Garbage Almo Sounds I can remember Butch slicing and splicing like a crazy man with bits of tape hanging off every surface of the studio. We had no idea the record was going to become this cultural zeitgeist. We put "Vow" out on a little CD sampler magazine, and before we knew it, we were getting played on the radio from Sydney to Seattle and everywhere in between. It was a such a headfuck. In a good way. 1998 Version 2.0 Almo Sounds We were under so much pressure, but we knew we had to try something new. We'd all become obsessed with the breakthroughs in those early years of the technological revolution, we were determined to bring this new thinking to the fore.

Sesh players (Beck, Gnarls, RHCP) aim to be American Radiohead, swap beats for Tool-y prog, won't quit dayjobs.
Visit the Hidden Bunker Where Liars Recorded 'WIXIW'
"We'd looked at a few places to make this record... big houses in strange neighborhoods," says Liars' Aaron Hemphill, sleepy-eyed under a short mop of bleached bedhead. "But we wanted something more compact and remote. Finally the woman showing us around says, 'Well, I've got this place under the freeway, but it doesn't have any windows.' We were like, 'Perfect.'" We're sitting in the band's unusual studio in a forgotten corner of Los Angeles, where they recorded their sixth studio album, WIXIW — pronounced "wish you," due out June 5. From the outside, it doesn't inspire confidence. The triangular lot includes an ominous cell phone tower, a tiny but heavily guarded pot dispensary, and a corner store whose gravitational pull has amassed a sizable collection of satellite drunkards. One edge disappears entirely under the smog-spewing U.S. 101.
The SPIN Interview: Shirley Manson
Shirley Manson has taken to miming. With her shock of crimson hair pulled into a bun, she declares in a proud brogue, "This is how I used to operate in the world." She braces against an imaginary wall and shoves, to no avail. "Now, I'm like this." She slowly pushes the wall six inches, beaming. "Forty-five years old ain't so bad!" Though fortitude is a quality most would associate with Garbage's rebellious redhead, optimism not so much. Her band is about to release their first album in seven years, and Not Your Kind of People picks up from where the alt-'90s brooders left off. Sleaze. Gloom. Glam. Noise. Songs about beloved freaks and lying lovers. Grungy, trip-hop-addled pop designed to stoke the last dance at the end of days. There is one key distinction, however: Garbage are releasing their fifth LP themselves.
Linkin Park Open Up About Hybrid Vibe of June Album
SoCal hard-rock hybridists Linkin Park managed to confound cranky critics and loyal fans alike with 2010's A Thousand Suns. The ambitious concept album explored atomic Armageddon over music that drew comparisons to Radiohead and Pink Floyd, so it seemed a bit out of step to say the least. As it turns out, that record was part of a cycle initiated in 2007 when the six-piece first linked with producer Rick Rubin, who also helmed the band's as-yet-untitled fifth LP, due out in June. "The very first question Rick asked when he met us was, 'What kind of record do you want to make?'" says singer Chester Bennington, 36, sitting at a diner-style booth in the spacious lounge at NRG Recording Studios in North Hollywood.
Electric Daisy Carnival Promoter Arrested: Is This Part of the War on Raves?
The man behind the massive dance-music festival Electric Daisy Carnival, Insomniac Events CEO Pasquale Rotella, has been charged, along with five others, in a massive corruption case that the Los Angeles district attorney says may result in the "financial ruin" of the city's iconic stadium, the Coliseum. The indictment, which includes 29 counts of bribery, embezzlement, conspiracy, and conflict of interest spread among the defendants, illustrates a complicated web of backroom dealings. Allegedly, the result is more than $2.5 million diverted from the public venue that played host to the flagship EDC (and similar festivals) into the pockets of two city officials, Coliseum Events Manager Todd DeStefano and General Manager Patrick Lynch. Rotella and rave promoter Reza Gerami of Go Ventures are accused of helping to orchestrate. A court document submitted by L.A.
