Byron Hemmings wakes to a morning that looks like any other: his school uniform draped over his wooden desk chair, his sister arguing over the breakfast cereal, the click of his mother s heels as she crosses the kitchen. But when the three of them leave home, driving into a dense summer fog, the morning takes an unmistakable turn. In one terrible moment, something happens, something completely unexpected and at odds with life as Byron understands it. While his mother seems not to have noticed, eleven-year-old Byron understands that from now on nothing can be the same.
What happened and who is to blame? Over the days and weeks that follow, Byron s perfect world is shattered. Unable to trust his parents, he confides in his best friend, James, and together they concoct a plan. . . .
As she did in her debut, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, Rachel Joyce has imagined bewitching characters who find their ordinary lives unexpectedly thrown into chaos, who learn that there are times when children must become parents to their parents, and who discover that in confronting the hard truths about their pasts, they will forge unexpected relationships that have profound and surprising impacts. Brimming with love, forgiveness, and redemption, Perfect will cement Rachel Joyce s reputation as one of fiction s brightest talents.
Praise forPerfect
Touching, eccentric . . . Joyce does an inviting job of setting up these mysterious circumstances, and of drawing Byron s magical closeness with Diana. Janet Maslin, The New York Tiimes
Haunting . . . compelling. Minneapolis Star Tribune
Joyce] triumphantly returns with Perfect. . . . As Joyce probes the souls of Diana, Byron and Jim, she reveals slowly and deliberately, as if peeling back a delicate onion skin the connection between the two stories, creating a poignant, searching tale. O: The Oprah Magazine
Perfect touches on class, mental illness, and the ways a psyche is formed or broken. It has the tenor of a horror film, and yet at the end, in some kind of contortionist trick, the narrative unfolds into an unexpected burst of redemption. Verdict: ] Buy It. New York
Joyce s dark, quiet follow-up to her successful debut, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, could easily become a book club favorite. . . . Perfect is the kind of book that blossoms under thoughtful examination, its slow tendencies redeemed by moments of loveliness and insight. However sad, Joyce s messages about the limitations of time and control, the failures of adults and the fears of children, and our responsibility for our own imprisonment and freedom have a gentle ring of truth to them. The Washington Post
There is a poignancy to Joyce s narrative that makes for her most memorable writing. NPR s All Things Considered"

An 11-year-old boy makes an error that brings tragedy to several lives, including his own, in Joyce's intriguing and suspenseful novel. One summer day in a small English village in 1972, Byron Hemmings's mother, Diana, is driving him and his younger sister to school when their Jaguar hits a little girl on a red bicycle. Diana drives on, unaware, with only Byron having seen the accident. Byron doesn't know whether or not the girl was killed, however, and concocts a plan called "Operation Perfect" to shield his mother from what happened. Previously, she has always presented the picture of domestic perfection in trying to please her martinet banker husband, Seymour, and overcome her lower-class origins. After Byron decides to tell her the truth about the accident, she feverishly attempts to make amends by befriending the injured girl's mother, but her "perfect" facade begins to splinter. Joyce sometimes strains credibility in describing Diana's psychological deterioration, but the novel's fast pacing keeps things tense. Meanwhile, in alternate chapters, Jim, a psychologically fragile man in his 50s, endures a menial cafe job. Joyce, showing the same talent for adroit plot development seen in the bestselling The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, brings both narrative strands together in a shocking, redemptive (albeit weepily sentimental) denouement. The novel is already a bestseller in England. (Jan.)
A boy as witness, the mother to blame
Rachel Joyce's masterful second novel, Perfect, explores how one event can unravel a life. Byron Hemmings is an ordinary British schoolboy in 1972. He's not the most sociable child, but Byron has a best friend in James Lowe. Like many adolescents, he's got a curious mind. And so, when James reads in a newspaper that two seconds will be added to time, Byron becomes fixated on how, when and what the ramifications might be.
And then one morning, as his mother drives him and his sister to school, Byron sees his watch pause. In those two seconds everything changes for Byron.
Byron has witnessed an accident that no one around him, including his mother Diana, seems to have noticed. After careful deliberation, Byron mentions the accident to his mother and releases himself from the torment of carrying the secret—only to pass that torment, and then some, along to her.
Byron's story is juxtaposed, often in alternating chapters, with the present-day experiences of a man named Jim, a former psychiatric patient who has been forced to make his way in the world after his residential facility closes. His obsessive-compulsive disorder and an unwillingness to discuss his past make it hard for some people to understand him.
It isn't immediately clear what ties the story of an 11-year-old boy to the parallel narrative of a 55-year-old former psychiatric patient, other than geography. But as their stories unfold, they begin to intertwine in surprising, heartbreaking ways. Thanks to Joyce's skilled character development and storytelling, readers will find it easy to lose themselves in this emotional tale.

Vt woman charged with forcing marijuana on sonMarch 28,2014
ST. JOHNSBURY A woman and her boyfriend are facing charges they forced the womans 12-year-old son to smoke marijuana at their Groton home.
Bobbi Borek, 33, and her 29-year-old boyfriend, Robert Spink, both pleaded not guilty Monday to a felony charge of drug delivery to a minor and a misdemeanor charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor under the age of 16.
They were released on conditions after appearing in Caledonia County criminal court in St. Johnsbury.
The boy told police he also smoked cigarettes and chewed tobacco with Borek and Spink multiple times at Boreks residence in Groton.
The boy told police he initially refused when Borek offered him a marijuana cigarette in December 2012.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The League of Women Voters of Vermont will be taking part in National Voter...

I love that these pants work for short people! The bottom is tapered and has a zipper, so even if a bit too long, they don't drag or bunch on top of my shoes. I got a size medium and I am a pear shape. I was worried they would be too tight since they looked like a slim fit, but they weren't. narrow around the hips, but after wearing them for even just an hour, they loosen up a bit. I really like these and can finally replace the ones i have had for 20 years. ... read more
I wanted these pants for soccer practice in the winter and also just to use out when I want to wear something comfortable. I got an XS and they were very loose in the thigh area which was perfect for me because I have very big thighs, but I'm 4'11 so the pants were way too long for me. To fix this problem I rolled the bottom of the pants in and folded them, but I'm also thinking on going to get them tailored since I wanted these pants because I thought they'd be really easy to just slip on but I have to take my time folding them and then zipping them, although I'm not sure if it's possible to get them tailored since they have zippers at the bottom. I think these pants would've fit me perfectly if I was ~4 inches taller. ... read more
I love how adidas always has nice quality and durable fabric, but with these pants I was let down and I have a few training pants from adidas. I bought these along with the Trio 15 pants and for 5 dollars more the trios are worth it. They have about the same fit, but the trios seem to be a little more fitted around the thighs but still allow great movement. The fabric for these core 15 pants are incredibly thin to the point if you held them up and looked through one layer of fabric you can see clearly through the other side. Overall if you're looking into these pants I would highly recommend buying the Trio 15 pants for 5 more dollars it will be well worth it. ... read more
I'm 5'3" and 115 lbs and i wear a size small in adidas pants, and i own multiple pairs of the Tiro 15 training pants. So, i bought a small in these pants but they're a little tighter, so i have to unzip them at the bottom to fit them over my ankles. I'm not sure if i want to go up one size, because then i know the waist will be too big. Overall, great pants but they're tighter than the Tiro 15s, and i love the sizing on those pants. ... read more
I am absolutely in love with these pants. I'm 5'2 and 125 lbs, on a good day, waist size of 26 inches. I got these in a small and they fit perfectly. It's a loose fit, but tight enough around the thighs. ... read more
I don't play sports but I like a good "sweat pant" for the weekends. I used to wear the Tiro soccer pant until I discovered these. They are a little thinner and a lot more comfortable. I have a hard time finding this type of pant that isn't skin tight or a mile too long (I'm 52 years old and 5' 2" tall). These pants are perfect and only $40! I wish they came in more than just 2 colors. Anyway, excellent product. THANK YOU ADIDAS! ... read more
I thought it was crazy paying $40 for sweats but it is well worth it! I got the medium & I usually wear a 6-8 & they're perfect.. I'm kinda short too 5'3 & the tampering at the legs make me happy! I would wear these everyday if I could I may even buy a few colors so I could! Awesome pant. ... read more
Don't play soccer, just always wanted a nice comfy and flattering pair of sweats but never wanted to pay so much. Finally did and I'm glad! They're super comfortable and fit very nice. I am 5'5.5 and weigh about 130 lbs and I got a small. They fit nice everywhere, not too snug on the waist but their is a draw string as well. ... read more

Sean BranchShared publicly -
Part 1 of 4 (A-Ev)
This is the fourth time since joining G+ almost a year ago that I'm sharing my photographers circle. I shared it with 500 photographers, 1,000 photographers, 1,500 photographers and now 2,000 photographers. I have to break my circle up into four 500 photographer circles as that is the G+ limit. Each day this week (Mon.- Thurs.) I'll share a different circle. Today is the first circle and includes photographers with the last name's A-Ev (although +Marc Evans you are in tomorrow's circle).
A few notes about these circles. I always get hated on when I share them by people. Inevitably if I include 2,000 people, I will leave 50,000 people out. This is not intentional or personal. This circle is not "the best" photographers on G+ or in the world. It doesn't mean if you are not in my circle that you are not a "quality" photographer.
This list is simply photographers that I've stumbled across for whatever reason over the past year and have chosen to follow their work. In some cases I've gotten to know the photographers in this circle personally -- through photowalks and trips, hangouts, in real life, etc. Many of these people are or have become my friends. Most of the photographers in my circle though I don't even know. They are just people whose work I admire and want to consume -- I hope many are future friends. :)
I use some objective criteria with this circle but I use a lot of subjective criteria too. This is, afterall, my own personal circle that I look at and +1 from every single day. My aesthetic taste and personal preferences may be very, very different than yours. This is ok. Art is subjective. That said, here a breakdown of my own preferences and biases that influence who I add into my circle.
1. I like people who are active on G+. If you haven't posted one of your photos in the last month you probably are not in this circle. I use a script to uncircle inactive people regularly.
2. I like photographers who mostly post their own photographs. I dislike clutter and "dumb stuff" in my photographers circle. Excessive reshares, circle shares, memes, gifs, youtube videos, posts not about photography, web links, etc. make me uncircle or move people to a different circle.
I also like photographers who regulate how much of their photography they post to their stream. I don't want to see 50 shots in a row of someone's vacation. I think about 5 photos max a day feels about right to me.
3. *Controversial* I dislike signatures and watermarks. You will find photographers in my circle that use them. It's just a bias, not a hard and fast rule. I mostly want this stream to be as watermark/signature free as possible. I totally understand and respect your reasons and decision for using watermarks/signatures. I hope you equally respect my decision to not want to consume photos mared up with them. Please don't turn this into a discussion about watermarks/sigs, I've spent the last 10 years thinking heavily about this issue. It's just a personal preference and bias.
4. I like people who are active, positive, helpful, enthusiastic G+ community members. I dislike people who are rude, mean, complainers, trolls, harrasers, etc. If you say mean things to people, about people, about their art or their work I don't want to follow you. I'm fine with debate and disagreement. It should just be done respectfully -- there's a huge difference between respectful disagreement and rude behavior. Not only will you not be in this circle if you are rude, I'll probably block you too. I want to surround myself with positive uplifting people.
5. I like people who directly post their work here on G+. If you primarily post links to Flickr, 500px, your blog, etc. I probably won't follow you. G+ photos are larger and I don't want to have to leave G+ to consume a photo. I also want to know that you are invested in the conversations around your photos here.
I haven't included myself in these circles but I have included +Photo Talk Plus which is the weekly hangout show that +Lotus Carroll and I do on Wednesday nights. I've also included our two show sponsors +SmugMug and +Blurb Books. Thanks to everyone who supports the show.
Watch for the rest of this circle over the next 4 days and I'll share them all again when they hit 2,500 in the future. Thanks to all photographers on G+ (not just the ones in my circle) for making this such an amazing place for photography on the web.

After orchestrating a romantic weekend as elaborate as any leg of The Amazing Race, Cheyne Whitney, 23, who won the 15th season last December with his longtime girlfriend Meghan Rickey, 24, popped the question near their home base of San Diego on Sunday.
"Other than 'what are you going to do with the $1 million,' the question that comes up the most is, 'when are you guys going to get married?'" Whitney tells PEOPLE. "And I've been planning this since the Race ended, so I've been like, 'I'm working on it! I'm working on it!'"
The Plan: It all started after their Amazing Race win when "I fake-proposed to Meghan on Jimmy Fallon," Whitney says. "Brides magazine thought that I really did propose, so they emailed us the day later and asked if Meghan would like to pose for a wedding dress? I kind of intervened and said, 'Hey, would you like to work on the proposal? I have some ideas!' And they were super-helpful. I really did plan it since Dec. 10. For two-and-a-half months I have been planning this day!"
On Friday, Feb. 26, Whitney shopped at his local Robbins Brothers store in San Diego and picked out an ArtCarved 2010 Limited Edition platinum engagement ring with a princess cut diamond and diamond side stones. "I did show her best friend the ring," Whitney says, "and she said she loved it and that Meghan would love it, so that was reassuring."
Then on Sunday, Feb. 28, after a romantic weekend where they stayed in the presidential suite at the Omni San Diego, the whirlwind proposal would happen.
The Big Day: "We stayed downtown together," Whitney says, "and Sunday we went on a helicopter ride off the coast, had lunch at a winery, went home and then did a walk down memory lane. We went to the elementary school we met at, the middle school we always used to hang out at, the high school we became really good friends at, and then went to this little lookout point where we've been going since we started dating."
At the lookout point, Whitney handed Rickey a copy of the April issue of Brides. "He told me he had some rings to show me in the magazine," Rickey says, "and I was like, 'Okay, that's kind of weird,' and he opened up the page and I saw my name first at the top and was like, 'What the heck?' And saw our picture at the bottom, and I just read it and I could not believe it."
The words read, "Meghan, will you marry me?"
"I was shocked," Rickey admits. "I was kind of confused at first, like, I just didn't know what was going on but once it hit me, I was in tears, and I was totally overwhelmed and shocked! It felt like I had won The Amazing Race!"
Says Whitney, "I kind of handed her the magazine, and she was taking it in and I pulled out the ring at the moment and got down on my knee, and I think it kind of sunk in for her right then. I opened up the box and I just told her that I've known since we started dating that she was the one."
For a final surprise, Whitney had a crew from Entertainment Tonight come out from the bushes to capture the happy engagement. "There were cameras hiding and it was all crazy," Rickey says with a laugh. "I didn't realize Cheyne had done all that work to make this happen."
Although they don't plan to tie the knot soon, Rickey jokes, "I always tease Cheyne because I'm the planner in this relationship and I've been very impressed by his planning abilities, and he may be doing more of the wedding planning!" --Cynthia Wang

The Big 10 has a newcomer for the 2011 NCAA Football season. The Nebraska Cornhuskers will join the prominent Midwestern conference.
Some believe they will do well, but struggle to adjust to the Big 10 brand of football.
Others feel that they will dominate immediately, after playing in a superior (in their eyes) conference for all of these years.
With the dominant force in the Big 10 struggling through controversy, Nebraska will look to contend for a conference title.
Let's take a look at how the Big 10 will shake out in 2011.

Welcome to ESPNChicago.com! On Thursday, Nick Friedell stops by to chat about the NBA season as well as the Chicago Bulls.
Friedell covers the Chicago Bulls for both ESPN Radio 1000 and ESPNChicago.com.
Send your questions now and join the chat Friday at 2:30 CT/3:30 p.m. ET!
More Nick Friedell: Blog | Chats | Search
Nick Friedell (3:37 PM)
Hello from the United Center everybody ... let's get this thing going ...
Jack (Chicago)
Which question do you get more often: "When is Rose coming back" or "Are we amnestying Boozer?"
Nick Friedell (3:39 PM)
The Rose question has been dominating over the last couple months ...
Dom (Woodridge)
Why don't they just say Rose is not coming back. Be a horrible idea to bring him back now anyways. Rose is out for year okay move on! Why break the chemistry and surging confidence in Jimmy Butler?!
Nick Friedell (3:49 PM)
I don't understand it either. I think the organization would be better served to do that but they just think it's better to keep all the options open. Thibs has talked about that repeatedly in the last few weeks.
Lewis (Carbondale, IL)
How will the Bulls fare against the Knicks tonight?
Nick Friedell (3:49 PM)
I actually think the Bulls could win tonight. Both teams are injured -- the Bulls always seem to get up for these big games.
Deez (Chicago)
If Rose doesn't play the rest of the regular season, is there a realistic chance he comes back for Game 1 of the playoffs?
Nick Friedell (3:50 PM)
I don't think so -- but the organization is still holding out hope.
Jay (Boston)
What do you think is more realistic to do with Deng: trade him or try and resign him when his contract is over (and do you think he'd sign at a discount)?
Nick Friedell (3:51 PM)
If he wants to stay with the Bulls he's going to have to sign for a discount. The Bulls would like to keep him but they will absolutely consider dealing him in the summer if the right pieces appear from another team.
devin (chicago) [via mobile]
I think jimmy is the answer for our 2 guard if lu still stays i think he will develop more of a 3pt shot and his defense is on point and derrick and jimmy on the fast break will be sick!!! Do you think he is what we have been looking for?
Nick Friedell (3:54 PM)
I actually think Butler would be a better long term fit at the 3. I think the Bulls would be better served to look for a powerful two guard who can create his own shot and then move Butler over once Deng leaves or is traded.
Josh (San Diego)
What's our most valuable trade asset as of today? Jimmy Butler, Mirotic, or the Charlotte pick?
Nick Friedell (3:56 PM)
Good question. I actually think it would be Jimmy right now because he is a known quantity. There is a chance Mirotic still may not come over and nobody knows when and where exactly that Bobcats pick will be used.
Farhan (Los Angeles)
If the Bobcats buy out Ben Gordon this summer, would the Bulls have interest in bringing him back on the cheap?
Nick Friedell (3:57 PM)
I think the Bulls will have interest in anyone who is willing to take a minimum deal.
Richard (d)
Is Joakim Noah out for the playoffs?
Nick Friedell (3:59 PM)
No. I think Jo will be back in time for the playoffs.
James- West Coast [via mobile]
If we trade Deng in the summer, what can we expect to get for him?
Nick Friedell (4:02 PM)
That's the $13 million dollar question. I don't know how much of a market there is for Deng. He is a solid player, two-time All-Star -- but he's also a system player. How many teams would give up a young piece or a draft pick to acquire a guy who many only be around for one year?
Paul (Naperville) [via mobile]
Do you think the Bulls can still go after Lebron or Bosh when they become free agents?
Nick Friedell (4:03 PM)
I am sure they will.
Ethan (Chicago)
Do you think the Bulls could get Kyle Korver back next year?
Nick Friedell (4:07 PM)
Yes, I do. I think they would love to have him. But it all depends on what he would be willing to sign for. The Bulls aren't going to have much cap space at all this summer.
Tom (Chicago)
Thibs recently said that out of everyone (Noah, Taj, Rose, etc.) Rip was the furthest from coming back. Now that Rip is back, is it reasonable to expect everyone else to be close too?
Nick Friedell (4:11 PM)
No. I just think Thibs likes to play with the media sometimes. I don't think the other injured players are any closer than they were before.
Tom (Chicago)
If we were fully healthy (Rose, Rip, everyone) do you think we could take Miami to 7 games this year?
Nick Friedell (4:12 PM)
I don't ... but a lot of people within the Bulls organization do.
Brandon (Chicago)
Would it be worth it for the Bulls to hang on to Boozer for another year for the price that he is at and try to keep the team they have now mostly intact to see what they can do with Rose in the mix or is Boozer just not worht it.
Nick Friedell (4:15 PM)
The Bulls are absolutely keeping Boozer for another year. It's a year and a half from now when I think the amnesty hammer is going to fall.
Frank (Maine)
Has rose felt betrayed by the fans of the bulls or as a whole does he feel the fans are behind him 100%
Nick Friedell (4:18 PM)
Derrick knows what's been going on. He knows that some fans have started to turn on him. I think he (and the people around him) also know that if he comes back and starts scoring 20 a game again people will forget about this year.
Farhan (Los Angeles)
It's struck me as odd that Rose has only sat once on the bench this entire season. Do you get the sense that teammates are unhappy about it? Almost feels like he's trying to distance himself from the team.
Nick Friedell (4:19 PM)
His teammates aren't mad at him at all about this. They're usually in the back with him.
Mark (Pasadena, CA)
We knew going into the season that the Bulls weren't going to seriously contend, and it's been excruciating to watch them at times. (Fortunately we also have the Blackhawks, who are an absolute pleasure to watch.) As expected, it's all about waiting for The Return. Looking to the future, what do you think the team looks like next year? Butler is a keeper for sure, and we know it's going to be RIP Rip. Nate and Vlad probably will be gone, too. Belinelli stays and comes off the bench. But does Butler start at SG? Do they trade Deng and have Butler start at SF? How do you see all of this shaking out?
Nick Friedell (4:22 PM)
The only certainties for next season are Rose, Noah, Deng, Boozer Gibson Butler and Teague. After that it's a crapshoot. Like last year, Gar and Pax will look to fill the rest of the roster with cheap contracts given their cap situation.
Josh Kingston, TN [via mobile]
Do you feel the onslaught of injuries is due to the increased play time that most of the team has seen this year?
Nick Friedell (4:23 PM)
Yes, I think that's a major part of it.
Jesse (Oaklawn)
Why are you the person most against the Bulls doing anything. I remember when the Bulls meet Miami two years ago in the playoffs. And you were still picking Miami. You should be the beat reporter for the HEAT not the Bulls. We don't need your type of negativity around this city.
Nick Friedell (4:24 PM)
Ha. I'm paid to be a reporter ... not a fan.
Rock (Chicago)
Hey Nick, how are the Bulls gonna get Carter-Williams in the draft?
Nick Friedell (4:25 PM)
I don't think it's going to happen, Rock. The Bulls already have Teague locked in as the backup point guard -- but you never know.
Vince cherry [via mobile]
How far of a post season run can the bulls make without Derrick rose even if the other parts of the team are healthy an can play
Nick Friedell (4:27 PM)
I think the Bulls can get to the second round if they face Brooklyn. I think the second round is the ceiling for this team, though. Especially if they see Miami after Brooklyn.
jim (Chicago)
What us the status of Gibson?
Nick Friedell (4:28 PM)
Thibs says he's still day to day. I think he's going to be out a little while longer.
Mark (Chicago)
Hi Nick! I think Jimmy Butler deserve his own chant. It needs to be like the rudy chant, JIMMY!, JIMMY!, JIMMY! ... I can hear it now after and-1s and dunks ... Would you agree?
Nick Friedell (4:29 PM)
Mark, I'm leaving this in your hands ... you can be in charge of making this happen. If the UC crowd gets louder for this than they do for the Donuts race I'll be impressed.
Nick Friedell (4:30 PM)
I'm out of here everybody. If you're at a game this week come over and say hello. Talk to you later.

Burger King and McDonalds May Team Up to Make the McWhopper
A combination Whopper and Big Mac sandwich may become a reality and it would be for a great cause.
A combination Whopper and Big Mac sandwich may become a reality and it would be for a great cause.
In the latest installment of fake outrage, parents-- as if they're some monolith group-- are upset that the new McDonald's Happy Meal toy is swearing at their precious little flowers. After listening, they may have a point.
Two of our favorite fast food restaurant chains have re-booted iconic characters from years past. Some have criticized the updates as being creepy and we want to know which one you like the best.
It's is own sort of phenomenon, but as soon as the McDonald's on Ocean Blvd opens, it seems scores of people flock to Hampton Beach.
Did you know today, September 29th is National Coffee Day? If you didn't know, well, now you do!
Well, it's a quiet Saturday so far in Studio Big. It's only Don Briand and myself here as we await a bit of snow today and the big game tomorrow.

Skip to comments.51% of Women Are Now Living Without Spouse
Posted on 01/16/2007 10:04:04 AM PST by shrinkermd
click here to read article
It doesn't have to be eHarmony. Just use a regular "dumb" service and check things out yourself. And give yourself a good description.
Match.com worked for me (eHarmony, BTW, was at the time extremely vexing as far as user-friendliness and just plain stupid hyperlinking). My husband - shy as he is ;-) - e-mailed me through it and well, here we are. And we lived 5 min from each other for 15 years. You see, just winging it through "real life" just doesn't net you all the possibilities.
Thanks. This has been an interesting thread, to say the least! :o)
To each their own
Nobody's saying they should give up their standard of living...they're just saying it shouldn't come out of the ex's hide. Everyone should enjoy the standard of living they can support.
If a husband leaves a wife and family for a younger model, it should come out of his hide. Sorry.
I think women tend toward the social aspect of church more.
Now...that's not your friend...that's the plot from that movie City Slickers ;-)
As I recall, there was a statistic about the number of "kids" killed with guns. That story included "kids" up to age 25.
The left is pretty flexible about definitions, aren't they? Any statistic offered by a leftie should be met with skepticism bordering on cynicism.
Some gals like it when you hold the door, some don't. You can't generalize.
True That. Problem is, however, being a chameleon with my values strikes me as disingenuous at best, manipulative at worst.
Just gotta find a lady, as opposed to a woman. Optimism still reigns.
Like you said, chatting up women is not a big deal and is an easily learned skill.
...going back through this epiphanic blast of a thread.
Gotta admit, though, upon reflection, there IS one female "indulgence" that absolutely gets under my skin:
- leaving beverage cans around that are half-full. Finish it or dump it out! ;o)
Sorry, don't agree. I wasn't the one burning bras, or pushing for restraining-orders-on-demand...it was your "sisters."
Whether you wanted equality or not, you got it...deal with it. I'm amazed at the mindset of entitlement that women have...men will always be expected to be gentlemen, and responsible...women will be encouraged to "find themselves."
That would require parity in the population,and women outnumber men, so no, it would be statistically impossible for 51% of men to also be living without a spouse.
We're in rare disagreement here Jeeves. I'm 100% opposed to either partner assuming a leadership role. I'm certainly not the leader in this relationship, and I'm damned sure not subordinate. It just works better when you have two full independant adults in charge of their own lives.
I think that's the way a lot of us live. I know I like it. :)
Yes it does. Shyness is a weakness. Period.
Shyness is a fear of people, how could you ever spin that into anything other than a weakness? I'm afraid of snakes, do you think I'm going to pretend that's a virtue?
I think most women want it this way, despite all of those layers of feminist conditioning the popular culture has forced upon them. It in no way diminshes her independence or value, but the relationship must be a balance of yin/yang energy, and I believe one member must take the yang (male) role for it to work in the long run. And knowing your past posts, I suspect in your relationship that person is you...and also that she likes it that way. ;)
Women marry men because of who they are and divorce them because they dislike how they changed them.
Sometimes men divorce women, or haven't you heard? Nothing like a blanket statement to show depth of character, or lack thereof.
Gee, someone really did you wrong. I'm talking about the cases where a woman marries a man, puts him through school, has kids, stays home caring for the children and the home while the man builds his business. Then, when he reaches success, he kicks her over for a younger trophy wife. It happens, and it happens alot. And that goes for men as well. If the roles are reversed...as sometimes they are now, they deserve the alimony as well.
My 'problem' is living through the last 30 years as an adult, white male, trying to do the right and responsible thing, and realizing in hindsight that I was a chump. Feminism has driven much of the societal and legal change over the last 30 years, and in hindsight it's been about maximizing choices and empowerment for women, and minimizing consequences and responsibilities...accomplished, to some degree, by man bashing and making-it-up-as-you-go.
Sleep with the wrong person, and someone's preggers? If you're a woman, your choices are just starting...if you're a man, your responsibilities are just starting. That role isn't being reversed.
The rules are made up as they go...presumptive restraining orders, for example, have permanently changed family law. That means that a woman just has to say that she feels threatened by her spouse, and she has a restraining order, period...he's out of the house, he's enjoined from seeing his children. It's the legal and moral equivalent of bringing a nuclear bomb to a knife fight. That role isn't being reversed, either.
I think your example may have been married during, say, the late 1960s...the marriage contract has been rewritten since then. Yet, he's the one who's being held to the terms, not her...he still has responsibilities, but she has choices. I don't see that role being reversed, either.
Or...maybe I don't understand what you mean when you say that roles are being reversed...
All I can say to men is choose well and be a good husband. But I'm sorry that I don't agree with your men as victim argument all the way. As long as women carry the child, they hold the trump card. It's never been otherwise. Why would you think it would be?
If one is to believe the argument that it is a woman's body and she can do with it what she wants, then she has the greater responsibility for her becoming pregnant. A man can't get pregnant, can't have sex with a woman without her permission, but he doesn't have any say in whether or not she aborts the baby or keeps it.
I'm not saying that a man has no responsibility in a woman getting pregnant. It usually takes two for a pregnancy to happen. But, if it is her body, her choice to have sex, her choice to use birth control or not, then his responsibility is much less than hers. Right or wrong, the courts do not see it this way with regard to pregnancy. He must pay.
I'm not saying a many shouldn't pay, only that a woman gets to have it both ways. It's both her body and she's not fully responsible for her choices with regard to her body.
I can't argue with those facts.
"I'll assume that getting into discussions of serial-killer techniques would bother you too much?"
I completed a profile on eharmony.com , and just got rejected as well. I agree, they obviously don't want real men, but problably spineless wimps w/o a hint of negative emotions.

I can't figure this baby out. Sometimes she totally passes out while nursing or cuddling with dh or I. But there are many instances where nothing can make her happy but putting her down and she passes right out. I can't figure this out. I've been careful to make sure I do put her down from the beginning once she falls asleep in order to avoid having a baby that needs to be held while sleeping. But its strange to me to put down a fussy baby and have that be the thing that makes her happy. Anyone else?

My DD is like that. She will fall asleep in our arms but is more than content if I lay her in her bed still awake. She will then stretch out and fall right to sleep. I am very happy about this because my first had to be rocked to sleep and that was a nightmare once she got to be a year old.

Our baby. He fidgets like he can't get comfy.. if I swaddle him and don't put him down immediately, he wiggles out like Houdini.. if I lay him right down, he passes right out. Its awesome. :)

Haha! I should feel lucky I guess. :) I think it made me feel bad tonight. Like maybe I put her down too often and now she prefers it. But I hold her all the time! And she has been good about this from the start. Just paranoid - its been a long time since I had a little baby. :)
Posted 10/30/2012
My daughter was like that and my son is following in big sisters footsteps... There are times during the day he just wants to lay down by himself and that makes him happy...I'm ok with it...better sleep for him and me

My LO is the same way! I love it! DD had to be rocked, and sung to, and swaddled, and then in a really deep sleep before I could lay her down in her crib but this little guy just hits the mattress and passes out. Perfect! I get plenty of sleep because of it and I really hope it stays this way.
Posted 10/30/2012
Ugh! I hate you all! I'm battling gas issues from hell and my LO will not fall asleep until he is laying on his belly on your chest and you're bouncing him or rubbing his back and he still fidgets and cries:( poor guy. So him and I have been co sleeping in the spare room so daddy can get sleep and go to work.

To the Editor.—The use of the circular stapling device is increasing for performance of end-to-end anastomoses throughout the gastrointestinal tract. With one firing, the instrument creates a circular inverting anastomosis held by a double staggered row of stainless steel wire staples.1
After intestinal continuity has been established, it is important to verify the integrity of the anastomotic site. This may be difficult to do in low anterior resections or total gastrectomies, since the posterior part of the bowel is not available for visual inspection. It is recommended that the two rings of tissue ("doughnuts") that are brought out by the cartridge of the instrument be inspected. Integrity of the two doughnuts guarantees that the staples have gone through the bowel walls of both ends. However, accidental tearing of the doughnuts when they are removed from the cartridge may cause concern as to the water-tightness of the anastomosis. We

Learning in Health Care: Evidence of Learning about Clinician Quality in Tanzania
Learning is an important force for progress in developing countries and may represent a significant underutilized resource in health care. Using data from rural Tanzania, we show that households value quality at health facilities and that the value they place on at least two aspects of quality is increasing with the tenure of the clinician. The fact that patients increasingly prefer good clinicians and avoid bad clinicians as time passes and that the value they place on quality plateaus after about 5 years is strong evidence for learning. The fact that they increasingly choose better clinicians suggests that learning improves outcomes.

Arceneaux racked up 22.5 points after winning the 200-meter dash in a time of 24.63 and the 400 in a time of 53.71. He and teammates Floyd Baker, Dagan Patin and Devin Gautreaux then closed out the night by winning the 4x400 relay with a time of 3:55.11.
Gautreaux was also a double winner on the day after claiming top honors in the 800-meter run (2:07.3) and the high jump (6-0)
Baker added to the Rebels' point total by winning the javelin with a throw of 137-5. He placed fourth in the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.4 and teamed with Spencer Richard, Jake Gautreaux and Randy Primeaux to place fourth in the 4x200-meter relay (1:41.40).
Dylan Boudreaux added a runnerup finish in the 1600-meter run (5:28.84) while Traven Guidry was fourth in the shot put (36-9) and sixth in the discus (88-6 1/2). Taatum Rubin rounded out the scoring with a sixth-place showing in the shot put (30-10 3/4).
On the girls' side, the Lady Rebels scored 46 points to finish sixth in the 13-team field.

Maybe the crosstown Cardinals' pregame appearance with the World Series trophy inspired them to pull off a shocker of their own. A few choice words from their star player helped, too.
Steven Jackson awoke in the middle of the night, deciding he'd tell teammates enough was enough and that no way the Rams were this awful. Then he led by example with two touchdowns in his first 100-yard game in three seasons, helping St. Louis earn its first win with a 31-21 upset of the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
"I think the Cardinals being here was great for the city," Jackson said. "Whoever showed up today, regardless if the place was empty, today was the day. We came out with a mind-set we were going to fight."
Drew Brees barely kept alive his touchdown pass streak on a meaningless score in the final seconds a week after throwing five in a 62-7 rout of the winless Indianapolis Colts. Brees was intercepted twice, too, with Darian Stewart's pick and 27-yard return putting the game away with 2:51 to go.
"As you look at the cardinal sins of football, we committed quite a few of those today," Brees said. "Obviously, we gave them a lot of momentum."
The NFC South-leading Saints (5-3) average a league-best 35 points, but never got on track against a defense ranked near the bottom of the league. The Rams (1-6) had a season-high six sacks after entering the game with just 11, three by Chris Long.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Ariad Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ARIA ) , a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies to treat cancer, were rocked again, falling as much as 42% after announcing the discontinuation of a late-stage trial known as Epic involving Iclusig for newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia.
So what: The reason for the stoppage, as noted by Ariad, was because of a high number of arterial thromobotic events, which you may know better their less scientific name -- blood clots. According to Ariad's press release, the decision to stop the trial was mutually agreed upon between it and the Food and Drug Administration in light of news coming out last week that longer-term studies showed an increasing risk for blood clots in patients taking Iclusig.
Now what: Now I'd say Ariad is in some pretty hot water. Iclusig's current FDA approval gives the company only very minimal market share, and the drug's recent bad publicity about long-term safety may quite possibly shrink that further. To add, this early-stage CML study was supposed to be where the majority of its future revenue came from. With that now off the table, I'm not sure I see a way for Iclusig to ever get Ariad anywhere near profitability. Removing the Epic trial from the picture, out of the eight ongoing clinical studies in Ariad's pipeline, seven involve Iclusig! Given the ongoing toxicity concerns here I would, as an investor, suggest keeping a big distance from Ariad at the moment.

MACOMB, Okla. — By a mere nine votes, voters failed to pass a school bond that would have financed the purchase of three buses to replace the oldest vehicles in Macomb Public Schools' fleet.
In last November's election, Macomb residents voted in favor of the bond, 91 to 75, which was nine votes short of the required 60 percent. The narrow loss has puzzled school officials.
"It's hard to say [why the bond failed]," said Gregory Hinkle, principal of Macomb High School and the district's transportation director. "I think a lot of the attitude of our patrons here is, 'As long as the bus comes and picks up my kid, I don't care what he's riding in.'"
The $150,000 bond would have purchased three new buses at $50,000 each. The district continues to use three 1993 model buses for everyday routes. A fourth 1993 model is kept as a spare. Two other buses — one 1997 model and the other, 2000 — complete the district's fleet of six.
The buses cover an area of 93 square miles and rack up between 50 and 60 miles a day. Although the coverage area is not large, having four 11-year-old buses driving in a rural setting is costly. "It's costing more and more to keep the buses up and running," Hinkle said. "We were going to upgrade our fleet, but we don't have enough in our general fund. The older ones are the main source of maintenance and are costly."
Hinkle said the district is also looking at ways to alleviate overcrowding on buses. If new, higher-capacity buses are not in the offing, he said the district might look at outsourcing transportation.

Research Expertise: Molecular Modeling | Statistical Mechanics | Polymer Glasses
Robert's research is focused on providing a fundamental understanding of how the properties of glassy polymers change when they are confined to freestanding, nanoscale thin films. Many experiments have shown that there is a distribution of glass transition temperatures in thin films, and near free surfaces the dynamics are enhanced and the glass transition temperature decreases. He is interested in how confinement affects the aging properties of glassy polymers and antiplasticized polymers.

Monti is montoxicated, again. He needs to fired, like he was from his last couple of jobs.

A humble girl, not the most attractive, but nice. She puts others before herself, but that sometimes causes negative emotions toward her. A major push-over, but means well. Does not consider herself beautiful, people may consider her a loser, and only her close friends really know her.She's beautiful both inside and out and I love her.
Oh her?? Yeah, she's such a Monti.

The guy who is so completely kicking your ass that you can only post anonymous electrons in cyberspace.
I would love to talk some shit in public, but Monti will find out and dismantle me in broad daylight. Did you hear something? Oh fuck!

He is currently an associate professor of biology at UMM, works with zebrafish in the field of evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo), and also cultivates an interest in cephalopods. He is a public critic of intelligent design (ID) and of the creationist movement in general and is an activist in the American creation-evolution controversy. • http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/ • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PZ_Myers Sam Harris is the author of The New York Times bestsellers, "The End of Faith: Religion, Terror and the Future of Reason" which won the 2005 PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction, and "Letter to a Christian Nation". His writing has appeared in Newsweek, Los Angeles Times, The Atlantic, The Times (London), The Boston Globe, The Annals of Neurology, and elsewhere. He is currently researching the neural basis of religious belief while completing a doctorate in neuroscience. He is also a Co-Founder and Chairman of The Reason Project. • http://tinyurl.com/SamHarrisVideos • http://www.samharris.org/ • http://www.reasonproject.org/ As you watch the conversation in Beyond Belief: Enlightenment 2.0, it might help to know about one of the sources that was helpful to me in formulating the agenda, assembling the cast of characters, and setting the tone for the meeting. I quoted this passage from Humanity: A Moral History of the Twentieth Century by Jonathan Glover (who directs the Centre of Medical Law and Ethics at King's College, London): "Now we tend to see the Enlightenment view of human psychology as thin and mechanical, and Enlightenment hopes of social progress through the spread of humanitarianism and the scientific outlook as naïve...One of this book's aims is to replace the thin, mechanical psychology of the Enlightenment with something more complex, something closer to reality...another aim of the book is to defend the Enlightenment hope of a world that is more peaceful and humane, the hope that by understanding more about ourselves we can do something to create a world with less misery. I have qualified optimism that this hope is well founded..." I say Amen to that. If Enlightenment 1.0 took a thin and mechanical view of human nature and psychology, I think Enlightenment 2.0 can offer a much 'thicker' and cognitively richer account - less naïve and also, perhaps, less hubristic. If there's one thing we've learned - particularly from cognitive neuroscience - it is that we need to have some strategic humility about the hobby horses we are inclined to ride.
