I have now dating and been in love with 2 very passive-aggressive men. It starts out so good, they are charming, funny, interesting, have good taste and then before I know it the anger and sulleness creeps in. They won't acknowledge even being angry but they obvisoulsy are. They become controlling, irratatable, they can't do emotional intimacy. How do I aviod the type of guy in the future?
Why am I so attracted to men who put on a charming face and then months later reveal an angry, self-destructive self? Any help is appriciated.

Re: Passive aggressive men?Mon, February 5, 2007 - 11:10 AMI've referenced this before when passive aggressive men come up. www.angriesout.com/couples8.htm
Believe me, you don't want to be in a relationship with one. One just about literally drove me crazy. He insisted I was abusive and crazy, and I went to see a shrink. Interestingly, the shrink was like, "I don't see anything wrong with you, except that you're obviously distraught - let's bring in your partner". Once the shrink met the guy, and he subsequently RAN OUT of the office, the shrink was like "God, I want to shake the living shit outta him. He's totally irresponsible. He doesn't love you, he's just using you. Why would you want to have sex with THAT?"
Re: Passive aggressive men?Mon, February 5, 2007 - 11:15 AMA friend of mine is/was dating someone like this and it's really, really troubling to see.
Especially since it doesn't have to be this way. Those kind of men cause themselves more problems with their behavior - or should I say 'for them and the people they're around'. It's hard to see a friend have to deal with someone like that - she loves him and tries so hard to make it work, but for whatever reason he prefers to create drama, lay on guilt trips and say really mean things.
Re: Passive aggressive men?Mon, February 5, 2007 - 11:40 AMhi Aschleigh.
I noticed that I tend to date helpless self-centered men. Not to advocate for "testing" as a way of life, but I sometimes try a little subtle leaning on a new guy quite early on to see what happens. Ask for some little thing, be quite specific, but don't make a big deal out of it... and see if they pick it up and are glad to do something for me. It helps me connect with who they are through their actions, and not just the pretty words we all use in the first glowing phase of attraction.
can you change the way you are, maybe let a little more of the parts of yourself you tend to hide come out? Exercise a little of your unreasonable self (we all have one!) and see what happens.
All You Need is Love; Love is all you Need.Mon, February 5, 2007 - 1:48 PMAsch...,
I can totally relate to this. I guess I appear charming, funny, interesting, and have good taste once in a while, because I end up landing the most beautiful women and then I realize, "Oh, my god, I am with so and so," and then sullenness creeps in. I am stuck. I am with the hottest babes since God developed standard transmission, and then I feel like I've got to shift gears. I end up paying for everything and I can sense my friends and their friends saying to themselves: "What does she see in him?"
Even at my wedding reception, my friends were placing bets to see how long it would last. I think the longest was 2 weeks. As it turned out, she and I were together for 5 painful years. I was totally in love with her. Anyway, after we divorced and I hadn't heard from her for many years, she wrote to apologize. I told her no problem. I was just as sorry. I knew we were not compatible given our values and sure enough in a few communications she was reminding me why.
So, anyway, I think we can do emotional intimacy. We have to feel like we can be open with our feelings and that it won't undermine our relationship. If we are harboring fears, then yes the boat is already in sinking mode.
I guess Asch... the only way to avoid these kinds of men is to communicate your impressions as the red flags appear. They at least owe you honesty. The self-destruction is tied to their perceptions of self in a complex world. Are they secure? For me, it's always been about doing work I love to do and never having the opportunity or if having the opportunity it wasn't practical.
I think these kinds of men are very talented and they have potential to be very loving, but they haven't had the opportunity to love themselves. They've been the emotional parents of their families since probably a very young age and women become emotional burdens since the mothers of these children never grew up themselves and have the belief that men are there to take care of them, which is fine, except that these men are by nature inappropriately matched to reality. They have dead-end jobs, but their responsibilities keep them risk-averse.
I guess the only way to succeed with these men is to realize they are just human, consider how much they really have going for them since they usually have homes and have brilliant lives outside of their jobs. Maybe you can suggest asking them what it is they really like to do. It will probably be something quiet, like writing novels or painting. On vacations, they probaby work. Eventually, these guys break through and I assure you, they are not regular people. There's a lot of love inside of them, but you may represent stress because they think you are totally hot, but they just don't know what to do about it.
It's the old combination of needs and wants coupled with a feeling of inadequacy in the face of having arrived on one front to be reminded of failure on another. I think it's all about love.
Re: Passive aggressive men?Mon, February 5, 2007 - 2:20 PMI probably displayed some p/a behaviors in my past marriage, although not for the reasons shown here. I definitely own responsibility for not being more forthright, but I generally found that raising issues didn't work very well. Raising issues was viewed as an "attack" (her word, not mine); the way I usually put it is that "a pinprick attack was met with a nuclear response." I really really had to feel like it was going to be worth the defensive hell that would rain down before I would raise an issue. I didn't have the fortitude at the time to take that issue head-on (and didn't understand it when we were dating, before it was "too late"). So subconsciously I know I ended up being sullen and/or p/a at times when there was an issue that I just didn't have the energy to raise (since it always took a lot of energy, no matter how small the issue). Oh, and anger and resentment can result from buried issues, although if you're in the early dating stage, seems too early, like any buried stuff would be from past relationships, and if you're getting the remnants of that, clearly not good.
So while not trying to place the blame on anyone else, since I own at least 50% of it, and not trying to defend p/a behavior at all; just want to be clear that sometimes it can come out of mutual interaction. If you start finding that ALL men act this way, then that should seem a bit odd, since not all men are that way with all people. Is there another dynamic involved?
Just some thoughts...
Re: Passive aggressive men?Mon, February 5, 2007 - 8:40 PMI understand what you mean by passive/aggressive but I thought I'd mention that you're not describing it like it is defined in psychology. In regards to your dating choices, I guess you could look for men that aren't super charming at first. I am attracted to a certain type of woman that really turns me on in the initial stages of the relationship. I've been thinking about chasing women of a different sort where the attraction builds gradually.
Re: Passive aggressive men?Tue, February 6, 2007 - 8:56 AMCouple of suggestions, but be careful, you might not like them.
To flush out guys like this earlier, just find a reason to make them angry early on and see how they respond. If they respond directly, apologize and move on. If not, then you've found a way to filter.
As to why you're finding them - chances are you're finding them because you're doing either the same thing, or a very complementary/enabling thing, (which are often the same thing). In order to stop finding them, you may need to examine your own propensity for passive aggression and/or learn to express your own anger more directly.
Re: Passive aggressive men?Tue, February 6, 2007 - 11:51 AMNot to challenge anyone...but if I may address the prior suggestion of...
<<If they respond directly, apologize and move on.>>
...having been married to the epitome/embodiment of a passive/aggressive personality for 12 yrs. (I literally "learned" the term from marriage counseling)...may I suggest that If they respond "directly"...then they're NOT passive/aggressive. That is what's so frustrating about them...they DON"T respond directly..
I do totally agree with the "...just find a reason to make them angry early on and see..." test. However, I wouldn't look for a true "angry" response...more of a pout or withdrawal or a mood change and then there seems to be verbal sniping for no apparent reason...whatever their "weapon of choice" is...
but yes, definitely "test" them, if you're unsure or don't have the "radar" in place yet. Since I "graduated" from the Advanced Class (divorced my ex-husband) I have developed some Intergalactic Infra-Red Global Positioning System type of "sense" regarding these guys...I don't need to test them anymore. I can watch how they interact with a waitress/er, store clerk, bar tender, listen to accounts about friends/family/work...etc. and my "radar" goes off like the 4th of July.
But definitley test it...you will save yourself a LOT of time and emotional investment if you can learn to peg them early on.
Re: Passive aggressive men?Tue, February 6, 2007 - 1:15 PMOops. Yes, that was an unfortunate typo. Of course I meant, "...if they do NOT respond directly..."
Star-spangled BannerTue, February 6, 2007 - 11:13 PMCan you explain how they respond to "Waitress/er, store clerk, bar tender, listen to accounts about friends/family/work...etc?" because I may be disqualified from the category if I am supposed to be mean to waitresses and the other professionals. I am usually very recessive and kind. Friends think I am crazy in that I will dance with their babies or pretend I am totally zany, run through a restaurant full-speed. My family say I am handsome and talented, but of course they don't really know me. People at work think I am crazy. One might explain the story about how I was standing over a table explaining a special as: "It has really big eyes and teeth that are long and sharp and we have to chase it around the kitchen for hours and then we beat it with baseball bat and then tie it to a chair." I usually say this in an animated voice and the customers are kind of nervous. They don't know if I am serious or kidding. The children's eyes expand in their sockets and and then I'll say, "It looks like you'll need sometime to decide; I'll be back in a few moments."
Anyway, tell me what the radar is telling you. My birthday is around July 4th.
Re: Star-spangled BannerWed, February 7, 2007 - 5:49 AMHonestly, Mario?...I didn't see where anything you referenced in your previous posts even suggested you "should've" been included in this category to begin with. NOT being passive/aggressive has nothing to do with being "mean" to service industry employees or people in general. It's about being direct about your feelings/intentions and following through when agreeing to, or claiming you will, do something you really don't want to do, or don't get the results you wanted and then instead of either just sucking it up like an adult, you sulk or undermine or in some other way sabotage the outcome either through NON-participation (when your input is needed) or subversive actions that hinder/impede/thwart the desired outcome (or simply to spite the person who they perceive as the one "getting their way") . Any and all of the behaviors listed as examples in Wicked One's link are exactly what I'm referencing. I just watch how a person reacts in situations that are somewhat routine...like not getting the table we prefer/having to wait for the bartender's attention if they're busy/how a relative (or anyone) needs something that required some of this person's time - possible having to alter their schedule or other plans, etc. If these are the type of things that will impact the rest of your date because this person is now reacting more to not getting their own way (in an subtle, quiet refusal yet irritated/"under their breath" manner) rather than focusing on and/or trying to enjoy themselves with you/the rest of the evening, that's passive/aggressive behavior.
Re: Star-spangled BannerWed, February 7, 2007 - 11:25 AMYes Veiled Woman,
I don't think I am passive-aggressive with women (I was raised by them), but the maudlin description really fits me. When I have a crush on someone, I get real quiet. I am usually masochistic rather than sadistic if it turns out she's bored or interested in someone else and I'll usually leave the restaurant or bar. I am just testing your radar. You had been a party to a group of people who called me an asshole in another tribe and it just really hurt and I was wondering if you had any memory of that or that it related to this category of negative men. At the time, I was being completely open and honest about "overcoming shyness" and someone called me an asshole, which is weird since the tribe is for "People who strive for complete honesty in their dealings with other humans. A tribe for people who value compassionate truth over social conventions Ready to delve into deeper relationships complete with vulnerability & trust? I want this to be a safe & supportive place for people committed to this to discuss (and vent if necessary) some of the trials & tribulations of attempting this."
But, I want to thank you for being honest with me and I am very glad your radar didn't pick me up. Namaste.
Re: Star-spangled BannerWed, February 7, 2007 - 12:19 PMOh, Mario...You're definition of the "aforementioned tribe" made me laugh till I teared up! I know that it is LITERALLY the description of said tribe...which IS what makes it so funny!!
And yes, I EVER so vaguely might remember the incident you are referencing...NO, I have never thought of you (from your posts) as a passive aggressive individual ...tho' I might add, that "being party" to the episode you mentioned was more than likely a spin off of some smartass remark that was made...or was specific to just a finite portion of it.
Honestly, the only thing I remember about that (IF it's what I'm recalling at all) is feeling almost "threatened" by how relentless you were about continuing the exchange. I know that I never understood what started it, I was VERY new to Tribe at the time, and for the most part ignored the bulk of it....however...it went on so long (not just from your end either, I do remember at some point NOT agreeing with some of what the others said and thinking "why doesn't he just let it go?" in hopes that not only it would stop, but because I felt sorry for you) I will tell you this tho', for a while I was leary of your posts...based on that exchange...only because it was one of my first experiences here and I was still learning the landscape and I thought you might be someone to avoid (from a self-protective perspective). Later, as I watched and learned, I really didn't consider it anymore.
I am guessing, but I'd bet (since YOU were the victim of the assault) that you remember vividly who the other members of "the party" involved were. Dare I venture to ask, are any of those people "my friends" here? I am guessing more than likely not, or very few.. I am very sorry if that incident, and whatever comment I made, has resonated with you all this time and tainted your prespective of me. I hope that time has shown you that I am more than whatever I seemed to be, based on whatever comment was made at that time (which I am sure was just a sliver, specific to the context of the moment...and NOT an omen of all things to come/all I have to offer as an co-dweller of the planet and certainly I hope you don't think that I would hold that exchange as a perpetually "defining" moment about your personality was well...I don't function that way.)
Did I pass your test? You passed mine a long time ago.

Re: Star-spangled BannerWed, February 7, 2007 - 9:54 AMAgreeing with AVW, but laughing my ass off at the daily special... how long did that job last?
"See that room over there..."Wed, February 7, 2007 - 11:48 AMThank you BnB. It's true about the story, my friend Jon loves to tell it since he was walking by at the time and he noted the kid's faces. No, I still have the job and I continue to practice my acting skills. Apparently, I am very convincing. By the time every guest finishes their meal, they've usually had a few good laughs. Once in a while, like this woman from the CDC without so much as a modicum of humor in her complained to the manager and I got written up. Since then however, I've been careful about blowback. If anyone so much as gets up from the table and heads to the manager at the podium, I warn them about the baseball bat in the bussers station. (Just kidding.)
Re: "See that room over there..."Wed, February 7, 2007 - 4:09 PM>They at least owe you honesty.<
Well, that's just the problem with Passive Aggressive people. The are intentionally dishonest. They will say they will do things "just to be nice", but they have no intention of doing them, or they will screw everything up so badly, you wish you had never agreed to their "help". I tried tackling problems head-on in direct conversation, and he would either just stare at me blankly and say nothing, or just agree with me, but never do what he agreed to do. It was a formula for a disastrous relationship. Later, I found out that this was not just negligence, he was actually intentionally not doing things "just to see what I would do".
Like when I was sick but went to work anyway, he said I could call him anytime if I needed him to pick me up. When I actually tried calling him, he had turned his cellphone off. He actually planned this ahead of time (he posted it elsewhere in Tribe). When he agreed to accompany me to the hospital for surgery, he emailed me the morning of the appointment to say "I can't make it" - no explanation, no apology, and I had to pay $100 for the cancelled surgery, because I had no one to take me on such short notice.
Personally, I think passive aggressive people are just pure evil. I would rather deal with hate head-on than deal with someone that says he loves me and then does everything he can to hurt me. At least with honest hate, then I would know to stay away.
At the ControlsWed, February 7, 2007 - 5:27 PMWicked One. That's horrible. I am just an idiot, but I would never say I would do something and then not do it unless I honestly forgot. And to announce it like premediated murder or like some practical joke is worthless. I know a guy at work who actually says he does stuff to "mess with people," I think he's kidding, but sure enough I am actually hearing him say that and then it dons on me. I seem to remember him wrapping something in celophane and then giving it to someone. You'd think life was hard enough and then you've got these people making plans to make your life completely miserable. They lie in wait at the controls ready to push your buttons and then Zappo, except that you can't believe they would stoop so low on the psychological ladder of insight, which means they are truly miserable themselves or unaccomplished, afraid and they take it out on people who actually face the music of their lives and eventually do something about it. These people make it their life's work to meddle.

To Have Cancer Your Whole Life is to be BlessedWed, February 7, 2007 - 5:28 PMYou damn Cancer you! That means you are a nice person.
Re: To Have Cancer Your Whole Life is to be BlessedThu, February 8, 2007 - 7:12 AM<<...that's just the problem with Passive Aggressive people. The are intentionally dishonest. ...>>
Yes, personally, I think the foundational component to any and all passive/aggressive tendencies is cowardess.
It drives me insane....lol...you have no idea to what degree... (but that's because I lived with it for so long ...NOT knowing I was being manipulated all the while....grrrrrr)
Re: To Have Cancer Your Whole Life is to be BlessedFri, February 9, 2007 - 7:04 PMSorry to say but my ex was a Cancer and very p/a. whenever wed argue hed sulk but say it was ok ..no problem....but if we had something planned the same day he would all of a sudden not be able to follow thru with those plans. and Id become upset and not understand what just happened... my perception was.... he did this to get back at me for not getting his way ........at the time I didnt realize he was doing that. but Ive come across plenty of people who do this and I can see it a mile away now. Mario....I dont know you too well but if you can argue a point directly without pretending and saying everything is ok while your body language suggest other wise then secretly planning to attack ....then your not p/a. You dont seem that way to me .
We aren't really needed.Sat, February 10, 2007 - 2:11 AMThanks Jess. I've not had that experience with the Cancers I know, but I am sure this is not an astrological issue. I was merely joking about Teamnoir's and my birthdays. I am sorry that when you argued with your ex- he would submit but later take it out on you by withdrawing from something you had been depending on. I honestly cannot say how I am since it has been so long since I was in a relationship. I think there have been times when I was so exhausted emotionally that I bowed out of an argument because an ex had raised her voice and she said that relationships are filled with yelling and screaming. I was taken aback by that (I have seldom raised my voice) and I think when she had asked me to go with her and her boys to the park, I was experiencing a major second thought. There were a lot of those moments in that relationship and it felt like we had run into belief, attitude, and value brick walls that there was no going around. It was like another who said she didn't need me, and so I promptly left. She was talking about having the capacity to go on about her life without me. It had gotten to the point in our relationship that she did need somebody to do certain tasks for her and sure enough she had left a note in my backpack before her statement that I found later. She had thanked me for all I had done for her. As was the case, we had broken up on that day and once a woman cries and you've hurt her. It's over. She came and got her key and that was that. It was really a shame since I must have appeared like your ex in that I got real quiet, packed up my stuff and left. The plans of our relationship pretty much evaporated if she didn't need me. I think I was also trying to establish a balance of power. I really miss her. Recently, I pushed a book, by an author of another book she had told me to read, through her mailbox and I had written praises her for knowing the truth about almost everything. She did not need me.
There come times in relationships, where you question the loss of self to such an extent that you need to step away and reassess whether or not this person is the one for you. I think those are the times, when you just have to let the other person out of the loop for a while and not issue ultimatums. I was fine that she had told me that. It was unemotional for me. I just had to quietly leave to let her think about it. She called my bluff and decided to end it. Looking back, her statement gave me an out. The problem is I loved and respected her. She is the smartest person I have ever met. She was correct; she didn't need me.
Re: To Have Cancer Your Whole Life is to be BlessedSat, February 10, 2007 - 11:00 AMI'm a cancer, but to be fair, I have been passive aggressive.
I don't think of it as being cancer so much as it is being raised by women. I was taught that negative emotions were "caused" by other people. As in, "You've upset your mother". And the implication was that doing so was considered bad. Hence, in that world, trying to find ways to actually live one's life without creating those sorts of obvious waves leads to something very much like passive aggression.
However, personally, it was pointed out to me be someone I dated for a few years and we worked on it. I believe that direct communications is nearly always more effective, (if sometimes less romantic). These days I'm generally pretty direct.
Re: To Have Cancer Your Whole Life is to be BlessedSat, February 10, 2007 - 10:57 AM"You damn Cancer you! That means you are a nice person."
Clearly, you don't know me or many cancers.
Re: To Have Cancer Your Whole Life is to be BlessedSat, February 10, 2007 - 12:42 PMI was only joking about the Cancer statement but not the relationship and the P/A traits that my ex showed. Isnt a P/A person looking to control and manipulate the situation? I believe when I was younger I had some of these traits bcause I didnt know how to get what I wanted openly (13 yrs old) I was very intraverted and so I used those tactics. I love open communication and I would never want to revert to that type of behavior. It gets you no where but a broken heart and spirit. I believe that it also leads to to serial dating or what have you and you tend to blame the other person for the negative results and outcome, when its really your own behavior that causes it. Now if the other person is the P/A one ....I think its best to leave the relationship. I waited a long time patiently for my ex to change and it was a horrible experience . Its better for both parties in the end to know when to walk away amicably if possible. You never know ......you can meet again at sometime and the second time is a charm(the say).
Tough Love Out in the OpenSat, February 10, 2007 - 1:12 PMOh, Jess. You are so grown up. I wish I had half the maturity you do. Yes OPEN Communication. At least the other person knows where you are going mentally and down what path, so they can remind you of the monsters or hell, let you go down that path alone so you can learn a lesson.
Re: To Have Cancer Your Whole Life is to be BlessedSat, February 10, 2007 - 2:13 PM"Isnt a P/A person looking to control and manipulate the situation?"
I think a more fair statement would be that a p/a person is looking to influence a situation without really knowing how. What results is a series of unconscious acts which might appear to be attempts to control or manipulate. I don't think they generally do so intentionally.
This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: To Have Cancer Your Whole Life is to be BlessedSat, February 10, 2007 - 2:36 PM"I don't think they generally do so intentionally."
That probably varies by person. And they may be doing what they do intentionally without realizing it's p/a. People do what has historically worked for them; behavior that's rewarded will be repeated. If asking/demanding what they want doesn't always work (occasionally they don't get it, or have to compromise), but p/a does work, then p/a it will be. So it can be used as a tool to get what they want all the time.
On the other hand, I'm amazed at the number of women I know (including very good friends whom I love a lot) that never consider that their choice on some matter won't prevail. When making a choice between alternatives, you're picking from what's at the top of her list, not between what's on your and her lists. If your faves aren't at the top of her list, then your faves simply aren't in consideration. It's a level of egotism that I find striking, and I wouldn't want to be in a serious life relationship with them because either it's going to come down to a "come to Jesus" discussion about the issue or passive/aggressive as the only other defense. Obviously the former is preferable since it involves clear communication if done right, but taking someone down from their self-installed pedestal can't be fun, and may not work. (Actually, it's not self-installed really... either someone put her up there or she tested going up and no one ever challenged her). Some people resort to p/a as the less-work alternative.
By the way, I assume there are guys like this too; I just don't happen to know them (nor do I evaluate their impact on a potential relationship). Not hatin' on the gender... :) (by any stretch)
P/ASat, February 10, 2007 - 6:29 PMguys with their priority list and everyone elses does not count....... know some....yes Ive even dated some...yuck! now I know better. Im a very sympathetic ,easy going person who likes to keep the peace, so I was easily drawn into that by justifing the other persons need as important enough to put myself on the back burner. Oh how things change...I still love to make peace but I love my own peace of mind better.... hey lets face ,we both have to be happy or its a no go for me. Ive learned to open my mouth( in a civilized way) and the worst thing that can happen is that you find out sooner than later that your with the wrong person.....hence you saved yourself plenty of heartaches. You may have just gained a friend if your lucky.
Re: P/AMon, February 12, 2007 - 12:15 PMFrom what I've read my bahavior can bring out the passive aggressive tendencies in the men I am with. I can be very up front, sometimes controlling, I am strong willed. I get the feeling that the last bf couldn't do any confrontation so he hid his frustration and anger from me but it came out in all different ways.
I can do a bit of testing. I am communicate as directly as possible. But at this point , it's been so hard to deal with passive aggressive men that I will now try to stay away from them. I realized I really want to be with a man I can admire. I can't admire someone who isn't taking care of himself emotionally, who is fearful and angry but won't admit it, even to himself. Someone who I can trust becuase he is honest with himself first and then me. It's a long journey of self-discovery. I need someone who is committed to seeing himself clearly. Warts and all.
I deserve it.
Re: Passive aggressive men?Sun, June 3, 2007 - 2:56 AMWho knows, they are charming to get you ,then their standard shit kicks in and they are nto longer what you want or need. f them. you are at least getting them now and again, how can we wommen be so hurt so oftern?!
Re: Passive aggressive men?Sun, June 3, 2007 - 4:15 PMJoy,
I believe both genders are hurtful. I believe both are hurtful for the same reason. They go where they don't want to be and isn't there always a hint of the future in present actions? But, then may not be a hint. Life is complicated. We have a responsibility to protect ourselves to the best of our abilities and then what can we do? Men lie because of needs. Women lie because of needs. An evolved person maintains an open dialog or at least refrains from engaging in an external physical one as an honor to him/herself.
We have to try to love. We have to go as far as we can and then if it seems impossible, give up. There should be nothing more than disappointment at the end of a relationship. If there is more, dependency is evident.
You know men for whom no shit would kick in. Those are the ones you need to seek out. Rid yourself of the ego and you will find love. (And I say this as if I were speaking to myself. There really is no command on my part.) I met someone recently who evokes serenity. It is not perfect but it goes on because it is not over. It is not over because she tries too. Loving in an art. It takes action.
Many, many men will treat you well. Stop looking for men who are unable.
Re: Passive aggressive men?Mon, June 4, 2007 - 5:02 AMthis may come across as hurtful, but to change who you meet, im one who thinks a person has to change who they are. in other words, if you usually meet guys at supermarkets, try meeting them in a different place. if you usually date bodybuilders, try computer nerds. one cant always know who a person is or what they will be like in 6 months, but one can keep themselves from getting attached before they find out who they are dealing with.

Aubrey Plaza
Wilmington, Delaware
"The only pressure comes form myself. I put pressure on myself at first just because I was intimidated. When I made Amy Poehler laugh, it was a big thing for me. She's been one of my role models since high school, because she started UCB, which is what I wanted to do since high school."
- Aubrey Plaza
For Aubrey Plaza, when it rains, it pours. The veteran of New York's Upright Citizens Brigade theater climbed the internet ladder with recurring roles in the popular web series The Jeannie Tate Show and ESPN's Mayne Street before being cast in NBC's Parks and Recreation, Judd Apatow's Funny People (2009) and Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010), seemingly all at once. If you feel like avoiding Aubrey Plaza and her meteoric rise to the top, bury yourself in heavy sand or climb the world's tallest tree and stay there, because in just a matter of time, this chick will be everywhere. She starred in her first lead role as Darius Britt in Safety Not Guaranteed (2012) and next as Beth, the virgin eager to improve her sexual roster in The To Do List (2013).
Aubrey Plaza BiographyAfter growing up in Wilmington, Delaware, Aubrey Plaza -- who is of Puerto Rican descent -- moved to New York and attended the New York Film Academy. There she made a short film parodying student films and used it to get into New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. She began taking classes at New York's legendary Upright Citizens Brigade Theater.
aubrey plaza joins the cast of parks and recreationWith The Office creator Greg Daniels at the helm, and comedy queen Amy Poehler starring, Parks and Recreation quickly became one of television's most buzzed-about shows. When Plaza was cast as an angst-ridden intern, it was a dream come true for the self-professed "improv dork" who grew up following Amy Poehler and her work with the Upright Citizens Brigade. With fellow up-and-comer Aziz Ansari on cast and the show now in its fifth season, Parks and Recreation has proven itself to be a real comedic hit.
aubrey plaza stars in funny peopleÜber-producer Judd Apatow has made a career out of making careers. He's single-handedly turned the likes of Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Jason Segel, Michael Cera, Katherine Heigl and Leslie Mann into movie stars. Well, it would appear one of his latest pet projects is Aubrey Plaza, who he cast as Seth Rogen's love interest in Funny People. Watch her as she holds her own as the only girl in an all-boys club, a scenario she's familiar with having come up in the male-dominated world of comedy.
what's next for aubrey plazaHaving already worked with some of the biggest names in showbiz, let alone comedy, it's difficult to think that Audrey Plaza's career could get any better. Well, guess what -- it did. She appeared opposite Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzman among others, in the fanboy wet dream Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, directed by Edgar Wright. And she starred in the indie detective comedy Mystery Team, which charmed audiences at Sundance. The film was made by the group Derrick Comedy, who befriended Aubrey while they attended classes at the Upright Citizens Brigade.
Aubrey's latest efforts were Safety Not Guaranteed, a film that centers around a classified ad searching for an accomplice in time travel, The To Do List, and a voice acting role in Monsters University.

Motorola Charm to be the fourth Android Moto phone launched in India?
Available since last month both in the US (via T–Mobile) and Canada (via Telus), the Motorola Charm may be launched in India, too. AndroidOS has it from "reliable sources" that the Charm will hit India soon, thus becoming the country's fourth Android handset made by Motorola, after the Milestone, the Backflip and the Milestone XT720.
Unlike the three devices mentioned above, the Charm is a candybar with a full QWERTY keyboard on the front.
Other features include: Android 2.1, MotoBlur, 2.8 inch QVGA touchscreen display, 3G, GPS, Wi-Fi, BackTrack touch panel, stereo Bluetooth, FM radio, 3.5mm headset jack, 3.2MP camera, and MicroSD card support (a 2GB card should be included in the box).
The Motorola Charm should retail for about 15,000 INR ($335) in India, so it will be the cheapest Android Moto handset available there.

So many people use tea bags for their convenience and miss out on the joys fine, loose leaf teas bring to the tea experience simply because they desire convenience more than quality in their tea. Here is one way to take tea with you wherever you go. Libre Tea has a great to-go tea glass that makes enjoying loose leaf tea much easier. You can either put the tea leaves in the glass or in the filter basket in the top. Either way, it makes portable loose leaf tea easier. Here is a video on how it works LINK. You can either drink your Libre green tea straight from the container, or pour it into a cup. It's great either way. Sure makes having tea at work or on the go easier. For those of us concerned with BPA contamination when hot liquids come in contact with plastic, Libre Tea took care of that too. Their container is a 'glass and poly design meaning, poly on the outside but glass on the inside (it is double walled) where the hot water touches the container. They also included a stainless steel mesh filter and BPA free plastic lid. On top of all that, it is beautiful as well as functional. The folks at Libre Tea realize that the enjoyment of tea includes all of our senses therefore, the outside of the steeping glass is artful in its design. The Libre Tea brewing systems come in a mug, the original size, and a larger size glass, and a glass n glass filter systems design for home and office use. Glass n glass video.
You can, of course, use your own tea; green, black, oolong or white or an herbal infusion or rooibus in the Libre Glasses but you can also buy organic, green tea directly from Libre Tea.
Their tea packets are premeasured for use in their tea glasses and can be steeped 2-3 times. Their green tea is light in color and flavor. A mellow, tea with no bitter after taste and no strong, 'grassy' flavor. A good tea for those who are new to green teas or do not like a strong tea.

Don't miss the full feature—women from around the country tell us why they've switched to a funeral-service career, and what it's like to work in this field—in the October MORE, on sale now.
In the October issue of MORE (on sale September 27), we showcase women who've decided, in the prime of life, to change careers and become a funeral director. Some were finally fulfilling a long-buried passion, others got the idea after experiencing a well—or badly—done funeral for a parent or grandparent. Some had taken a career-aptitude test (because of a layoff, an empty nest or a gnawing sense of job dissatisfaction) and were gobsmacked to discover that their interests and abilities added up to "funeral director." All said they wanted to so something more meaningful with their lives.
This career isn't likely to make you rich. But that's not why the women MORE interviewed entered the profession. "Funeral service is a field similar to social work," says Nancy Burban, a death-care industry consultant and podcast host. "No one goes into social work to make a lot of money either." The median salary for apprentices in a recent National Funeral Directors Association survey was $28,000. The median annual wage for licensed funeral directors is $54,330, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, though the top 10 percent can earn close to six figures, or even more if they work in a large metroplitan area.
Still, like most other industries these days, the $11.9 billion funeral-service business faces challenges. Corporate consolidation, a declining death rate and an upswing in cremation have caused a small but steady drop in the number of funeral homes, creating a tight job market in some regions. So we asked women in the business what you should consider before making a switch:
Alexandra K. Mosca is not one to hold back. A longtime funeral director and industry chronicler in New York, she's posed for Playboy, written a memoir (Grave Undertakings) and admits to having once accidentally sewn her hand to a corpse after a long day. Mosca, who has also written a book about Brooklyn's historic Green-Wood Cemetery, worries about women laying out money—or borrowing it from a bank—for funeral school without doing their homework first. (Tuition for an associate's degree program can run to more than $11,000 at a community college and over $20,000 at a university or accredited mortuary school.)
"Try and get a realistic picture of the state of the industry in your area by talking to as many funeral directors as possible," she urges incipient career-changers. "It also helps to work part-time in a funeral home, to get a feel for the business and its activity."

"Baker was so influential in my life and I truly enjoy giving back to BU Athletics . I don't hesitate to make the drive from Texas because I can't wait to spend time with my Baker friends and family."
Don Parker '55
Many years ago, Karl Spear needed funds to finance a spring golf team trip to Texas and requested a donation from prior golf team members. Upon his return, Coach Spear wrote about the trip and sent this report to those that donated. This led to an ongoing exchange between the two of us. The next spring, Coach Spear arranged for the two of us to play together in what was then called the Karl Spear Golf outing. This was later renamed for the Spring Golf outing.
With very few exceptions I have played in almost every one of the outings since that first outing. We have played at a number of courses and have had a delightful experience at each and every event with many happy memories. Playing with and against my father-in-law, a 1927 Baker graduate. He did not like it when I reached the age of 50 as I was playing in the then, senior class against him. He didn't think that was fair so he called Jerry Weakley and got him to change the age class to over 65. Playing in a foursome where our combined ages equaled 319 and we were all at Baker together.
The primary purpose is to raise more money for Baker Athletic teams and I think over the years we have done that. We need to do more. It's also important that we maintain our relationships we developed while at Baker and get together with our classmates and notice how much younger we are.
Jodi Akers '91
Two years ago, I experienced my first BU Alumni Golf Tournament and enjoyed it so much that I returned last year and am looking forward to this year's event! This was a great Baker-shot-in-the-arm of loyalty and spirit. On top of that, seeing old classmates and making new friends to share the joy of the BU pride was so special to me.
The golf tourney (rain or shine) and auction were so enjoyable I can't wait to see who I get to play with this year and what awesome auction items I can buy to support BU even more. As an out-of-state alumna, I also loved having the bookstore table available to buy BU goods to take back home with me. I proudly walk the streets of downtown Chicago sporting my Wildcat orange and white golf umbrella!
Jim Sweeney '88, Troy Hartman '89, Bill Miller '90, Derrick Watts '91, '05 MBA
Our foursome has played in the BU Alumni Golf Classic for over a decade. For us, it has become a sacred annual date where we set aside a day to reconnect with our Baker roots and old friends.
(Plus, who could pass up the annual opportunity to have Dan Harris step in your putting line or make wise-cracks during your back swing?)

Arraignment Dates Set for Two Charged in 1974 Windmill Park Triple Homicides
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on March 02, 2013 @ 11:43PM
Created on March 02, 2013 @ 3:49PM
Arraignment dates have been set for two men who have been indicted for the 1974 Windmill Park triple homicides in Fairmont.
Eddie Jack Washington, 59, will be arraigned this Monday, March 4. Phillip Reese Bush, 64, will be arraigned this Wednesday, March 6.
Washington was arrested last month in Florida. Bush is an inmate at the Mount Olive Correctional Complex serving two life sentences for double homicides in Fairmont in 1982.
Both are charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit a felony. Those charges stem from the execution-style slayings of Guy Lester Phillips, 20; his wife, Wanda Jane Phillips, 19; and Billy Ray Cobb, 27.

really obvious line but don't think it has been done yet links underdog start to the transformers finish on toon town boulder in the far east. Felt about V5/V6, any knowledge if its been done before?ReplyDelete
Good new problem! I had thought about that link-up before but never got around to doing it. Give it a name, cartoon name of course :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMonday, October 04, 2010
Space Ghost seems like a decent enough name since old school cartoons were much better than the stuff on t.v. today and He-man is already taken. By the way grade is pure speculation especially since the temps aren't anywhere near optimal yet.ReplyDelete
Great name! I'll put it in the list of new info for the second edition! Those temps make such a difference. On a warm day, things will feel next to impossible, and then on a cool day you will cruise up stuff! I'll be down there in about a month. God Bless!ReplyDelete
Here are a few new routes located on the backside of the Monster Cereal boulder (new) that's just to the left of the Broadcast boulder (#7) and faces the Berry Patio in the Breakfast area on the East Side...ReplyDelete
Fruit Brute V1
East Side, Breakfast, Monster Cereal boulder
FA: Brad Caldwell
This problem is on the low corner facing Franken Berry. SDS in the hole under the overhanging point with right hand on a small edge/crimp and left hand low on the lip…paste your feet on and make a couple of moves up and right to the juggy point and mantle on its right side to top out.
Count Chocula V2*
East Side, Breakfast, Monster Cereal boulder
FA: Brad Caldwell
This problem is located about 5 feet to the right of Fruit Brute. SDS with feet under the bulge on some small chips, right hand on the good flat edge just over the bulge and left hand on one of the sidepulls…make a few moves up to the top edge of the boulder and mantle.
Fruity Yummy Mummy V0
East Side, Breakfast, Monster Cereal boulder
FA: Brad Caldwell
This problem starts on the far right side of the boulder, about 5-10 feet from Count Chocula. SDS on the low corner, make your way up and left to gain the top edge and traverse this out to the left to top out near Count Chocula.
Do you know if anyone has done a direct finish to Why? (boulder 36, cluster area)? I did it last week and thought it would be funny to call it Why Not?. If you already press out the mantle you might as well top out the boulder instead of stepping off of it. It's around a v2/v3.ReplyDelete
That is too funny! Of Course I will add it to the guide :)
Great! I was hoping someone would find it humorous. Maybe the humor will inspire people to crush out the little obscure beast!ReplyDelete

Trailside Traverse V5**ReplyDelete
West Side, Trailside Area, Trailside Boulder
This great but overlooked problem climbs the business of Unknown (7e) then immediately traverses right across worsening rails before topping out at The Campus Problem (7d). Go to 4:20 on this video (http://vimeo.com/24188968) to see me doing this problem in 2002. Note: My ascent in this video was before a helpful (probably not key) foothold broke, so the problem may now be slightly harder.
- dan horneSaturday, October 22, 2011
Did the sit start to tim the wizard today. As far as I know this is an fa. Definitely makes it a bit harder, but hard to say if it's an 11. I'd probably give it a slash grade of 10/11. Awesome line. Sooo cryptic!ReplyDeleteReplies
So where does this new line start?Delete
FYI Dan texted me this. "The sit starts right hand where your heel prob started and left side pull underneath. There would also be a different sit start into those problems starting completely under the overhang on a low right hand sidepull( small crimp rail) and tiny left hand sidepull. I was able to pull my ass off the ground and throw but not close to sticking the first move. Probably v12 or harder!"Delete

Project f1 on the notch has been sent.ReplyDelete
Baby Momma Drama ** v8/v9
F.A. Nate Hefner
I think that Project 21f1 on The Notch Boulders was sent a few seasons back by Eric Eigner. He called it Snatch V9.ReplyDelete
2 new in the central area (well one probably done before but unknown name/grade)ReplyDelete
On the Wishing Well boulder, start on bruce leap, match on the ramp, and reach high right for a slopy dish. Match this, follow the choss back into (and finish on) bruce leap.
FA: Unknown (but maybe this guy?)
grade: v6?
On the slash and burn boulder, what was the project to the right of pascal's route has suffered a broken hold and has gone.
Start on two crimps beneath the large, incut right-facing sidepull. Gain the sidepull and reach straight up for a sloper. Fancy footwork and dynamic moves to a spicy topout.
FA: Ben Newton
Name: Ben's rig
Grade: V5? (need consensus, ahem)
Mike Louis put up a new problem in the Slave Driver area to the right of Vomit (32c pg 114). It starts on any of the myriad of starting holds and moves up the crimps in the seam to a slopey topout. It's called Muddy Waters and we think it's V3.ReplyDelete
Sent the egg project. Calling it blasphemous kumquat. grade v10. Also did a sit start to honest abe starting at the crimp rail a couple feet to the right of the stand start holds. Calling it honest able. grade v10? kinda on the fence on whether its 9 or 10.ReplyDeleteReplies
Nice job Dan. I've been looking at that line for a while. Way to dispense with the stand and add the sit. I'm looking forward to trying to repeat it.Delete
Repeated blasphemous kumquat today 2nd go. Great problem but I don't think it's a 10. V8 seems more accurate. Started matched on lowest jug, used intermediate to bump & match incut flake, moved right to bigger incut and then threw the feet to the right. Knee bar and topout. Best incut crimpers on a roof at the bald. Great addition. Nice FA DanDelete
I wonder whether Dan used the foot ledge & arete on BK? I used both (using Greg's beta) and agree with the v8 suggestion, but a more difficult (and maybe purer?) line could go by not moving to the huge foot ledge and arete, but just tossing to the lip from the right crimp. Matching on this crimp without the foot ledge and then making the big move straight to the lip would probably make the problem v10. This option could be considered an eliminant since you're avoiding features that are easily in reach from the right crimp, but it also seems more pure in that it stays under the roof longer. Thoughts?Delete
Ben's rig has a sit start:ReplyDelete
Start hands just above the pedestal about 15 feet right of pascal's problem. Move up to the seam and traverse under the sidepull jug and the do Ben's rig. Thinking around about V8. Also I'd like to revise the stand start to a consensus of V7. If you want to see the video go to: http://vimeo.com/38938805
Sent Project 74c1 in the east side on the Dab Police boulder today. Ran into it randomly and decided to do it.ReplyDelete
74c was called solenum and given v6 so I'm calling this one solenoid and giving it a v6/v7. It is a bit longer and harder. It feels comparable to Brackish Water and 11:11 in terms of the grade.
As far as I know, this one is an FA.
Broken Holds"
A hold broke on 11:11 but its about the same.
I also think a hold broke on Sterling. I'm not positive because I haven't done it before. But looking at it and feeling it I'm pretty sure the upper right hand start crimp is broken now. It feels significantly harder than v9.Replies
Steven, nice job on solenoid. Its interesting that you feel brackish is a 7. I originally called brackish direct an 8 and had wondered if the line most people call brackish might be a 7. I'll have to reclimb it next season to comment.Delete
Yes I noticed the crux hold on Sterling broke. What a bummer. Atleast there is still something that is possible to pull on. All the best,
There is a lot of discussion but I feel like the long line that ends on Brackish One is a 7 and Brackish Middle feels like an 8 to me.Delete
Stinkles V6ReplyDelete
First Rumbling Bald FA of the 2012 Winter season. Can't believe I had missed this one in the past. Steep face to an arete. Pretty classic steep pulling on edges. Enjoy.
Walk past "The Politician", past "Come Out and Play" and up the hill like you're going to "The Middle East". At the point where the trail cuts R and crawls under / over a number of trees look to your left. There is a overhung face and a prominent arete. Start on the lowest edges and make your way to the arete and a slopey topout.Replies
Is this the one that is up towards the Cereal Buttress area?Delete
Because I found something that was super ticked and pretty cool and I think this describes it kind of well.
Starts almost in a little cave where two boulders meet?
Yup that sounds like it but not my tick marks. I usually clean off my tickmarks after the session :) EnjoyDelete
Put down project 11k on the trailside boulder today. Great temps and an excellent crew cheering me on. I'm calling it Loomis' Layback V9. Had to make the reference to Lewis' Lunge. Another classic on this great block. EnjoyReplyDeleteReplies
Start L hand on undercling and jump start to obvious R hand undercling on the face. Use small L hand gaston to move to R hand sidepull/undercling. Stand up and dyno to the large edges above.Delete
Good job Greg! How bout some beta so I can add it to the guide?ReplyDelete
I climbed what I think is a new problem on the Pit BBQ boulder two days ago. I started on Grease Pit, did the first left hand move, then climbed straight up the blunt arete. The business section is all about getting to and using a grainy "all-thumb" pinch for the left hand. I'm calling it Hot Tongs (V7). While clearly not as classic as the other problems on the boulder, it's there and it's worth doing.ReplyDeleteReplies
Nice job. I'll be sure to check it out next time I'm up there.Delete
Put up two new problems today.ReplyDelete
Stack & Deliver V8: Start to the right of 11:11 by stacking pads to reach a cool sloping pinch loaf with both hands. Pull on and use a crimp up and R to gain the sloping topout holds. Good temps w/ Emile, Ben & Tom spotting. Thanks guys
11:12 V7/8: Do 11:11 and then match the top right edge. Make a right hand move up and right to a sloping pinch. Use this to reach a sloping rail and rock over left. Just adds another move to a classic at the field. Makes it a bit harder
Torque Wrench V10: Pat Goodman put down project 24d1 on the loaf boulder a few years back. Taylor McNeill recently came close to repeating it and got some video which you can see here.ReplyDelete
Another classic hard problem at the bald
Ben's Grundle V6: Ben spotted this line and I was lucky enough to climb it first. Start on 31b Clumsy Waiter and traverse left into 31a Chainsaw Art. Unique & fun movement on underclings and slopersReplyDelete
Eliminate your Anger V9: Dan Horne showed me this a couple of days ago and I got it. It's harder than Anger is a gift and not an eliminate. Start on the left hand side pull and the bad crimp beside it, hold off the ground, and then crank up to the crimps.ReplyDelete
Video: https://vimeo.com/56704454

New problem on the west side- "royal blue" v5ish??ReplyDelete
Jump start/ push off detached boulder to gain sloper on the left side of the boulder then move up and right on slopey crimps to the apex of the boulder. Right next to project 53b but not listed in the book- top out is the same as project.
Video of royal blue FAReplyDelete
Another V2 addition to the V2 Boulder on the East Side.ReplyDelete
Cramped V2
East Side, Politician Area, V2 Boulder
Located to the left of Urinal Cake, this problem shares UC's same dilemma...climbing out of a very cramped space. SDS on the big rail/edge on the left side of the overhanging backside of the V2 Boulder, make the move to the nice juggy fin up and left, get your feet, and top out.
Here's a few more easier routes. It seems impossible that I'm the first person to climb these routes since the new East Side trail has been in for a couple of months now, but I'm going to go ahead and give these routes names so they arent additions to the "Unknowns" at the Bald...ReplyDelete
Springtime Boulder:
This is the obvious lowball boulder seen to the left as you're hiking in to the East Side Boulders on the recently rerouted approach trail...best approached by cutting left at the last switchback, just before cresting the hill while heading to the Breakfast Area.
Daffodil V0
SDS on the downhill side of the boulder, just around the short arete from Bloodroot, and move up past a sidepull/gaston feature to the top lip of the boulder and mantle.
Bloodroot V1
SDS on the trail side of the boulder, on the left side of the low overhang with hands in the slots, move up onto the left hand arete and short face and mantle.
Tiger Lily V3
SDS on the trail side of the boulder, on the right side of the low overhang, with hands in the slots...move up using some small slopey crimps to establish yourself on the short face and top out.
Nate Draughn sent project 74b2 on the 45 boulder calling it "The End" V10ReplyDelete
He also did the 2nd ascent of Jaba the Hut V11 which is project 24d1 on the roof below Reservoir dogsReplies

Isn't that Torque Wrench?Delete
Hey Anonymous,ReplyDelete
Torque Wrench starts a hair to the right in the roof. You do not use the side of the boulder with your left hand. All the holds are underneath and in the roof. There may be a crazy hard link-up starting on Jabba The Hut and going into Torque Wrench!Replies
Hey Chris, so do you know for sure that Torque wrench started at the very back? Seems fairly redunculous to do this and not use the left side of the boulder. I'm confused on what Goodman actually didDelete
Hey I was wondering if this blog had any information on the project listed 10c on pg 97? Just wondering the grade b/c I got really close and will probably send next time Im on the east side.ReplyDelete
Hey Kensie,ReplyDelete
You would be getting the FA on that problem! Keep it up!
Cool, I think Zenith is broken too.ReplyDelete

Cool, I think Zenith is broken tooReplyDelete
I have a feeling this one's been done before, but am more curious if anyone has worked the lower start- it will be very hard.ReplyDelete
To the right of big bully, start left hand low on sidepull, high right hand on cool pinch sidepull. Climb around the arete on bad slopers, mantle then continue up the not bad (but dirty) slab. If its not been done I was thinking it could be called Ruffian Prow, its about V4.Replies
Hey Ben, Did you build the obvious landing for this problem? If not, I doubt it's an FA. I looked at this one a LONG time ago but never did it because I wanted to build a landing. Someone actually did it but I don't know who. I guess we can ask around. It also looks like you could do this one an finish on Big Bully. Watch outDelete
A big rock on the back side of trail side boulder broke off and third slid out of the way. This created what a group of us believe to be 2 new problems. The first is a traverse that I posted on YouTube that I called reach around traverse. It starts in the back corner climbs up and left to the over hang and then traverses left to a nice top out on the aretteReplyDeleteReplies
The second starts under the over hang with a left hand crimp, right hand pinch. It make a big move up to a great old and finishes with a powerful mantle. So far only Javier Licon has sent this route that I know of.Delete
Leapin' Licon, V5/6Delete
My first FA! Others have sent this now and I think the consensus is V5/V6. From what I've been told there are 3 different sequences that can get you to the jug, depending on height and strength.
Has anyone ever tried a dyno on Come Out and Play that starts at the same place as the Leap of Faith, but instead of working your way up you stay low and dyno out to the right to a large dish. Great swing, but I haven't heard of any grade or name.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
There's another problem on the Trailside Boulder that I think could be added to the new guidebook. It would actually add on to 7e (gone missing, V3) making it much longer. It starts right of 7e in the obvious 2 finger pockets. Make a long reach left to establish onto 7e. Once you make the initial hard move traverse right on the lower horizontals until you can reach up to a good jug. Move up the horizontals (which could use some cleaning) to finish this fun problem. It's probably been done before but I'd call it Gone Fishing, V4+ReplyDelete

The project listed 10c on pg 97 went down on a recent trip. Also I did a straight up version of slave driver that splits right and has a large right arm lock off move from good crimp to a slopey top out and I did a more direct squat start to the stand-start v1 to the right of it off of a slopey ledge. Both were super fun and worth consideration.ReplyDelete
Hey Kensie,ReplyDelete
What did you name Project 10c on page 97? This has been a 15 year project (however many people don't get on it). Good work. Will you post a name and grade for me and it will go in the new guide.
I would suggest the grade of v10 and in keeping with the theme of names on the boulder how about "Birth Control"?
Thanks Kensie! I am letting my publisher know of this new problem after I post this! Good work and thanks for the name and grade!ReplyDelete

It's the most beautiful hand made lace dress I have ever seen. I had it custom altered to fit where other Ingrid designs fell short. The shoulder strap has a small stitch to keep it in place without sliding to be revealed (look at other pictures of the Ingrid back and you can see what I am talking about). The lace overlay is perfectly in line with the slip (I had it altered by two different seamstresses and 4 times to get it perfect). The bustle is French, with the loops invisible when undone.
I just got married this past June to the love of my life and cannot tell you how beautiful I felt in this dress. Lots of wonderful energy and incredible craftsmanship.

User reviews on Brother (Hermano)
I thought this film was pretty good and I recommend seeing it in the theaters. The theme of the film has been done many times before but this film does it well and it manages to avoid cliches which is pretty rare and wonderful. The performances were very naturalistic and the photography was great as well and it worked well with the theme of the film. This movie is pretty unique and I was pleasantly surprised by that, it is hard to find a film like this one these days. Overall, it is a heartfelt film that most people will enjoy watching.
This is a film about two brothers trying to make it in Caracas barrios, the film is directed by Marcel Rasquin and stars Eliú Armas, Beto Benites and Gonzalo Cubero. The film could have been very good but it fell short, I think that the script had too many holes in it and it hurt the film. The film is divided between two themes and it can not decide which way to go, sports or social injustice. There are many great scenes in this film but as a whole the movie does not work. Overall, i do not recommend seeing it in the theaters.

When New York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg chose Cathie Black, the chairwoman of Hearst Magazines, to be chancellor of the city's public school system, there were about five seconds of media speechlessness, followed by several weeks of outrage. huh? squawked the Daily News. Parents protested and threatened lawsuits. Despite her long and successful career as a publishing executive—Bloomberg called her a "superstar manager"—Black had never worked in education and didn't seem to have thought much about public schools. Her own two children had attended private schools. And this was a troubled moment for New York administrators: A recalibration of state tests had resulted in a drop in scores, and a documentary, Waiting for "Superman," made the entire American public school system look like an elaborately constructed failure machine. Nor would Black be undertaking a small job: There are more than a million children in the city's public schools, served by 135,000 teachers and staff (at Hearst Magazines, Black oversaw a team of 2,000). In addition, Black needed to get a waiver from the state because there were legal requirements for the position—graduate training, time in a classroom—that she didn't meet. In the end, though, neither that nor the public dismay mattered. Black got the waiver, although she had to appoint an experienced deputy chancellor as her "chief academic officer." She started work in January, less than two months after the first shocked headline.
Whether Black makes a success of the job won't be clear for many months, if not years (though her recent joking suggestion that birth control might be a solution to school overcrowding was an inauspicious start). But her appointment is not an isolated example of inexperience rising to the top: Recent hires in business and elections to Congress suggest that when institutions and organizations are alarmed by the status quo, turning to someone from a different field can become acceptable or even fashionable. Cathie Black most likely wouldn't have been considered for the spot if there hadn't been deep unhappiness with public school systems across the country—if it hadn't come to seem that knowing how schools were run meant simply having practice in repeating the mistakes of the past. "If an organization is in trouble, it is more likely to bring in an outsider," says Boris Groysberg, associate professor in the organizational-behavior unit at Harvard Business School. The idea conjures a compelling image: the white knight riding in to restore order to the kingdom. Or as Daniel Pink, author of the best-selling business books A Whole New Mind and Drive, puts it, "It's an image you see even in religion—the untainted hero who will come in and solve the mess."
There's also the heroine. For women, who may be denied access to traditional paths to power, a moment in which outsiders are welcomed presents tremendous opportunity. Of course, taking a chance in a new field is not without risk, and a woman who leaps can find herself teetering on what is known as a glass cliff, cousin of the glass ceiling. "In difficult or transitional times, women are more likely to be chosen for leadership jobs in which the likelihood of failure is high," says Barbara Lee, a Boston philanthropist who started a foundation, which bears her name, to promote women in politics and the arts. Cliffs are dangerous—but they're also exciting for the chances they offer.

Because autism is a spectrum disorder, symptoms range from mild to severe and the level of
developmental delay is unique to each individual. There's an array of practitioners that comprise
the clinical roster: medical doctors and dentists experienced in working with ASD patients and
speech, behavioral and occupational therapists, which can help a child acclimate and normalize
existing sensory challenges.
The lack of comprehensive care in local communities can be a significant and overwhelming
health challenge for families with autistic children. To address this, Autism Speaks launched
the Autism Treatment Network (ATN) http://www.autismspeaks.org/science/resources-programs/autism-
treatment-network#ATN which currently includes 17 leading children's hospitals and academic
medical centers in the U.S. and Canada. Parents should explore and be open minded to a variety
of options and provide their child with a multi-disciplinary approach to intervention and support.
Support groups can help parents learn about reliable resources, schools and professionals.
These groups can also offer emotional support. The need for support doesn't start or end after
diagnosis. Preschool, kindergarten and elementary school are major transition periods as is
adolescence. The bridge from high school to adulthood is the greatest transition with much more
significant and longer lasting effect. It's important for families to reach out during these periods
to other families and professionals in the community.
Autism Allies of Wright County strives to improve the lives of individuals with autism and their
families by providing information regarding local resources. Our hope is that these resources
will help you find providers who can meet your needs or the needs of a loved one. We are
always interested in learning about new local resources, so if you know of a provider we have
not listed, please let us know by clicking here.
