text: Culture 29 August 2011 Michael Ball's Sunday Brunch (Radio 2) Michael Ball bends the knee like a medieval courtier. Sign up for our weekly email * "I recognise that smiling laugh," says Michael Ball (21 August, 11am). "Ha! Hi, how are ya, Michael?" says Doris Day. "I'm really well," giggles Ball. "May I call you Doris?" "Oh, do." "This is such a thrill." "How sweet!" "I've been a fan all of my life." "No kidding!" "I really truly have. This is a very, very special moment for me. One I thought would never happen. Thank you so much for agreeing to chat." "Oh, my goodness! Thank you. Thank you again and again and again and again!" Doris, 87 and on the phone in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, leans against the conservatory's rustling, drawn shades and waves away the maid. This Ball fellow is just adorable, no? It's been a long time since a man was quite so solicitous and yet here he is, as eager as a medieval envoy. Not that Ball is being remotely insincere. You can hear in his voice a significant awe - each compliment a bouquet laid gently on the back seat of a Daimler. "Well, I've been listening to your new album and it's just charming," he continues. "Well, it was fun to do," admits Doris. "I particularly love your cover of 'You Are So Beautiful,'" says Michael. "Huh?" asks Doris. "'You Are So Beautiful?'" repeats Michael anxiously. "The song by Joe Cocker?"' An uncomfortable silence and the atmosphere of Doris thinking hard, as though summoning biographical details of a relative from the past century. "Ahhh," she finally utters, and then: "Oh yes! I love that. Isn't it gorgeous?" "Ah, it is," splutters Ball. Relief! And so the interview continues, with the occasional clip of Doris in her prime singing "Sentimental Journey". An image of Rock Hudson holding his head unconvincingly against her small bosom in Lover Come Back springs to mind, and Day raising her chin sharply, like a gun aiming at a duck. "Oh, we had a wonderful time," Doris is saying. "It just makes me cry to think that most of those guys are all gone. Oh boy . . ." "Jimmy Cagney?" nudges Michael, gently. "He was so good," mutters Doris, "but boy did we fight." "Cary Grant?" "Cary. So funny! That face!" "James Garner?" "James Garner is still alive," yells Doris. "In fact, I must call him in a minute."

text: Okay, so I was watching an interview on Terry O'Quinn on youtube and the interviewer wanted to know if we would see the smoke monster again (I think this interview took place mid-fourth season) and he said he didn't know. She asked if all the questions will be answered and he said hopefully the big ones and the rest in a book. I don't know about you guys but I'd probably have the small questions like Libby (and maybe the volcano and Annie if they don't answer those questions this season) in a book. I think a movie would just be kind of stupid. We don't really need a 2-3 hour movie if were gonna have a two hour finale.

As far as anyone has ever been able to tell, naked mole rats don't get cancer. Scientists have observed large colonies of these freaky-looking rodents over their relatively long lives (about 30 years) and never seen one with a tumor or other symptoms of cancer. This week, researchers from Rochester University announced that they've found one of the mole rat's tricks for cancer resistance. Science writer Ed Yong has what's maybe the best intro into the story.
The problem with writing about the naked mole rat is the long list of bizarre traits that you don't have space to talk about. For this post, let's forget that they look like a wrinkled finger with teeth. Put aside their inability to feel pain in their skin, their tolerance for chokingly low oxygen levels, their bizarrely rubbish sperm or their poor temperature control. Don't even think about how they live in ant-like colonies, complete with queens and workers. Ignore their ability to live for more than 30 years—an exceptional lifespan for a rodent of their size.
Instead, let's talk about the cancer angle.
They don't get it.
While the researchers were trying to grow mole rat cells in a flask, the liquid that held the cells kept getting thick and syrupy.
This was because the cells secreted a sugar called hyaluronan, which was thickening the liquid. Hyaluronan is common in the skin, cartilage and other connective tissues of mammals. Like mortar in a wall, it's one of many molecules that fill the spaces between cells and provide them with support. The naked mole rat makes an exceptionally large version of the sugar that's over five times bigger than ours. And it has a lot of it.
…Andrei Seluanov, who led the study, suspects that the larger hyaluronan physically cages potential cancer cells, preventing them from breaking free and growing into tumours. But it also allows cells to stop each other from growing if they become too crowded. This is called 'contact inhibition'—it's why healthy cells form a flat layer if they're grown in a dish but cancerous ones pile on top of each other.
The overgrown sugars probably aren't the be-all, end-all of for the rats' cancer dodge, though, but one part of a suite of defenses.
Not so fast, cautions Rochelle Buffenstein from the University of Texas Health Science Center, who discovered the naked mole rats' cancer resistance. "This is now the third study to provide a potential mechanism," she says. "Clearly there are multiple anti-cancer defenses employed in the naked mole rat." Others might include mass suicide of overgrowing cells, and a tolerance for DNA-damaging oxygen molecules. [Not Exactly Rocket Science]

Hannah Aitchison Net Worth – Under Review
Hannah Aitchison is American tatoo for her professional aspect, she's an artist from Chicago, Illinois. Aitchison given quotations to Girls Against Girls by writer Bonnie Burton. Though she hasn't got enough facts connected her to profession latiely. But still her few works are substantially enough to describe her nicely among her devotees and followers but still her few outstanding works have described a great deal about her.
Hannah Aitchison has got an unknown history and family info. As a result as a result of tremendous trail of info gone missing, it's been tough for media sources to summarize anything about her in particular way. There aren't enough details about her educational history either. Therefore it's still uncertain that how much she's finished for her educational qualification. As a consequence she continues to be understood in broad variety even by her few works updated. Her creations are actually valuing and for which she continues to be getting paid by worthy sum. Though it is not noted just how much she continues to be making from her profession but on according to some sources, Hannah Aitchison continues to be counted among among the most affluent stars of present time. As his net worth hasn't yet been mentioned, her supporters continue to be unknown to his riches property but in coming years her readers can readily find something fascinating to read about her.
At present Hannah Aitchison has been at her first period of battle therefore it is easily supposed that she's got lot to do to prove herself exceptional among other well known professional artists.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/1/2017 (218 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The opening of Winnipeg's downtown off-leash dog park has been delayed to allow civic officials time to placate concerns raised by the owner of a nearby 25-storey apartment tower.
Mayor Brian Bowman confirmed city officials are reviewing plans for the off-leash park planned for a portion of Bonnycastle Park after the owners of Heritage Landing, at 300 Assiniboine Ave., complained about the project.
Bowman said civic officials are considering landscaping and design changes in a bid to deal with the concerns of Crystal Properties, which constructed the $70-million, 25-storey apartment tower.
The dog park was one of Bowman's campaign promises, and was expected to open by the end of 2016.
"I'm hopeful that some of the design could potentially be amended in order to mitigate the concerns that have been raised," Bowman told reporters.
The city chose Bonnycastle Park at the end of June, following an online public consultation process in which six other sites were also considered. Council approved $300,000 for the project. About one-third of an acre of the Assiniboine Avenue park will be set aside for dogs.
The park will include a perimeter fence and an internal fence to separate small and large dogs. Other amenities will include agility elements, lights, signage, park furniture for people, waste receptacles, a granular path along the park interior and tree and shrub planting around the edges.
A spokeswoman for a coalition of local dog park clubs said Crystal Properties has misjudged the value the park will bring to its tenants.
"Everywhere in North America, there is a positive correlation between increased housing prices and the presence of a dog park," said Donna Henry, president of Windog.
Henry said when she first moved to Winnipeg 15 years ago, she lived in the apartment complex across the street from Bonnycastle Park, and the area then was known for the after-hours sex trade. The presence of the off-leash park will bring people to the area, creating a vibrant neighbourhood where people will congregate and socialize.
"Where dog parks are established where they didn't exist before, they reduce crime and they do it simply by increasing (foot) traffic in the area," she said.
Not all developers share Crystal Properties' attitude towards dog parks, adding Genstar included a similar sized off-leash park in its new Devonshire Village development in Transcona, she said.
"The first thing (Genstar) did even before they put a spade in the ground was they identified space for a fenced, off-leash area and they've been really proactive about this. There'll be park benches, it will be treed – all this at the developers' expense," she said. "Where Genstar embraces dog parks, it looks like Crystal Properties sees this as a real threat."
Bowman said he regretted that city staff had not consulted any of the adjacent property owners before the site was chosen, adding however, he was also troubled that representatives of Crystal Properties had not expressed concerns to the city sooner.
Bowman said there is little chance the building owner's concerns will prompt the city to find a new location.
"The location of the park itself… was a recommendation of a broad consultation with Winnipeggers and downtown Winnipeggers, and I still believe it's the best location," he said.
"We are thinking about downtown as a whole and not just for one particular property owner," he said. "I do think we need to be sensitive to and try to mitigate the concerns, but having an off-leash, fenced-in, protected dog park in downtown is one of many things we're doing to provide more amenities... council has provided the funds for it, so we want to see it proceed."
Bowman did not provide a revised timeline for construction of the park.

Tendulkar told The Telegraph newspaper in an exclusive interview that what mattered to him was not the captaincy but performing well with either the bat or ball.
The ongoing second Test against South Africa in Bangalore could most probably be his last Test as captain, since it is unlikely he will accept the job for the third time going by what he said in the interview.
Tendulkar also admitted that he was under tremendous pressure while captaining the side in Australia, where the team lost 0-3 in the Test series, and he almost became a different person.
"I had become restless. I couldn't sleep well, couldn't switch off, even briefly from what was happening...As I've said I stopped being myself. Perhaps even stopped smiling. Maybe at times even stopped talking," Tendulkar told The Telegraph.
After Tendulkar announced that he was resigning from the captaincy, left-handed batsman Saurav Ganguly was made captain of two forthcoming one-day tournaments.
Tendulkar said he carried his resignation letter in his pocket when he went in for the selection committee meeting to select the team for the Tests against South Africa. India lost the first Test at Mumbai.
He delayed the decision to quit from captaincy because his family advised him not to be hasty. He said he stuck to his decision even though he was advised against resigning by A C Muthiah, president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and coach Kapil Dev. "A time had come when I just wanted to be me, simply wanted to be myself," he said.
The prolific scorer, who is rated as one of the best batsmen ever, said it was difficult to say whether the best player can be kept away from captaincy. "Everybody faces pressure. If I'm expected to get a hundred, newcomer Murali Karthik is expected to get 10 wickets," he said.
Tendulkar also said that Ganguly should be left alone to realise his potential as captain. "I'm going to back him in whatever decision he takes. The team must let the captain feel they'll back him hundred per cent. There are times when each player has to give that extra bit. That gives the captain confidence," Tendulkar said.

I am trying create a form that has unique submissions and Jot form can block duplicates, which is great but I want to make sure the submissions entered are the same as distributed entry codes for a contest. This will keep someone from just typing in any random code, and making sure it matches the codes I have distributed through the school.
JotForm Support
The condition should work exactly as you have it. I believe you can have 10 per condition. Here is my test form with a similar setup to your example:
It is only a single condition for all 3 values.
Okay great, I have enter 23 codes so far on one condition, and it seems to be accepting them.
JotForm Support
Awesome, I am not sure the limit but it is nice to know 20+ will work. If there is anything else we can help with, just let us know.

If you were to ask me what my favorite Thanksgiving dish is, before you could even get the question out I would exclaim, "the stuffing!" I honestly would be perfectly fine with having just stuffing as my Thanksgiving meal and then some stuffing for dessert. Yep, I'm a fan.
For years we have always had the traditional stuffing; in the bird, standard bread crumbs, maybe the occasional apple or nut variety, etc. I've been wanted to try sausage cornbread stuffing for several years now, and today is the day. Whoa! This stuff is like a party in your mouth! The cornbread brings a touch of sweetness to the party; Jimmy Dean nails it with the delicious addition of savory sage in their premium sausage roll.. and the parsley is a wonderful, bright finale. Why did I wait so long to try this holiday delight? I highly recommend switching up your standard stuffing this holiday season and trying this tasty alternative. Sausage is for more than just breakfast!
Sausage Cornbread Stuffing
Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Makes 8 (1 cup) servings
- 1 package Jimmy Dean® Premium Pork Roll Sausage Sage
- 2 cups chopped celery

- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
Bake 1 package (8.5 ounces) corn muffin mix according to the package directions. Cool, then coarsely crumble. To toast the crumbled cornbread, preheat oven to 400°F. Spread the cornbread onto bottom of large shallow baking pan. Bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring after 5 minutes.
For Stuffing:
Preheat oven to 325°F. Cook sausage, celery and onion in large skillet over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes or until sausage is thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently.
Drain and spoon into large bowl.
Add cornbread, parsley and seasoning; mix lightly. Add broth and egg; mix until just blended.

Four-game ban for De Rossi
By Mark Buckingham
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Daniele De Rossi has been banned for four matches for elbowing Brian McBride.
Daniele De Rossi could miss the rest of the World Cup after being banned for four matches for elbowing Brian McBride.
The Italy midfielder was sent off during the first half of last Saturday's 1-1 draw with USA, following a clash with McBride.
De Rossi elbowed McBride in the face, leaving the veteran striker bleeding from a cut which required stitches.
Fifa have now meted out a four-match suspension to the Roma ace, which means he will not be available again until the final.
He has already served one game of the ban after sitting out Thursday's 2-0 success over Czech Republic, which took Italy through to the second round.
De Rossi will also miss the last 16 clash with Australia, along with the quarter final and semi-final, should Italy progress that far.

I have several Dell PowerConnect 6248s in a stacked configuraiton. I have been testing network management tools and zenoss and cacti will give me port bandwidth, however spiceworks does not show the PowerConnects as switches. How can I correct this?
4 Replies
Feb 4, 2009 at 12:30 UTC
A bit more info that I have found. It looks like spiceworks will only define a device a networking device, if snmp is the only info it finds. The Dell switches have a web interface. How do I get this?
Feb 5, 2009 at 8:08 UTC
Looks like the PowerConnect 6248 supports SNMP also. I setup my 5448s by going to System->SNMP->Community and Adding a SNMP Management Station and Community String.
Feb 5, 2009 at 8:51 UTC
I only set my SNMP up over the past week, prior to that SW had been detecting my switches, Dell and HP, as HTTP devices and I had manually classified them.
Once I turned on SNMP I had to delete the original device because I was showing one as HTTP and one as SNMP.
Feb 5, 2009 at 10:43 UTC
Loren, if you have the switches set up for SNMP but already detected in SW as HTTP then delete them and rescan. Make sure you can reach them by SNMP, I used Getif and snmptest to double-check, and make sure you test the scan settings in SW with the SNMP account before you scan.
My account was messed up (wrong password) and a rescan detected the switches as HTTP again, so I had to delete again, fix the account and rescan.
I'm getting the hang of it now. I have to say that I have had SNMP turned off forever, because I had no use for it, no way to monitor it, and no good reason to really look into what it could offer. Spiceworks has just changed all that.

The climax of her life came after her husband's death in 1898, when she designed and built an innovative museum in the form of a Venetian palazzo and, with the legendary art historian Bernard Berenson, created America's first great private art collection. The Art of Scandal is the story of a striking woman of great force and character and of the Boston she lived in, from the Brahmins of Beacon Hill to the newly emerging ethnic communities and the little-known gay subculture. Isabella Gardner emerges as one of the most evocative figures of America's Gilded Age.

The Australian Open had been uncommonly listless where major upsets were concerned, but Friday produced the rudest of awakenings. As first-week casualties go, Roger Federer is still right up there.
A four-time champion here and winner of 17 majors, one of the game's all-time greats lost to Andreas Seppi, a 30-year-old Italian who had taken just a solitary set off the Swiss master in their 10 previous meetings.
It was Federer's earliest Australian Open loss since 2001, breaking a run of 11 years in which the 33-year-old has reached the semi-finals or better at Melbourne Park. His 6-4, 7-6 (7-5), 4-6, 7-6 (7-5) loss to the world No.46 in just under three hours stunned the Rod Laver Arena crowd. Seppi was scarcely less alarmed. "I don't know really, I just try to enjoy to play centre court again, it's not often I get chance to play on centre," he said. "It really was one of the best matches for sure, otherwise I can't win against Roger. It's never comfortable playing against Roger."
Seppi had won once from 25 matches against Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in his solid but largely unremarkable career. Having taken one set from the 22 he'd played against Federer, he suddenly had two in 89 minutes. Federer's winner-error ratio was in deficit, his second serve vulnerable, his mood increasingly fractious.
From 4-1 up and then 5-3 in the second set tiebreak, he lost four consecutive points. Federer had recovered from two sets to love down to win nine times in the past, but Seppi had only lost from two-sets-to-love up on two occasions, most notably against Djokovic at the 2012 French Open.
But this time would be different, Seppi earning his first win over a top 10 player at a major with a forehand pass winner down the line on his first match point. Federer had also earned the early advantage in the fourth set tiebreak, but again was overtaken, a double-fault, a rare Seppi ace and a mishit backhand from the second seed all contributing to the unexpected result.
This result was almost as sensational as the Swiss champion's second round loss to Sergiy Stakhovsky at Wimbledon in 2013. Not quite, but close.
After slipping to eighth, his lowest ranking in a decade, after last year's semi-final exit at Melbourne Park, Federer settled into his new racquet, and Stefan Edberg-augmented coaching team, and a healthier back, to enjoy something of a renaissance year, reaching his first major final since 2012, logging the most match wins (72) of any man on tour, and returning to the top two.
His 1000th career match win and 83rd career title came in Brisbane a fortnight ago, but after a minor scare against Simone Bolelli in the previous round, he was outplayed by another Italian, Seppi. Late in the second set, Federer left a backhand volley that landed in at a critical time, and he is now out of the tournament. Early. So early. Wow.
Will Roger Federer win another grand slam tournament?

Mary Coyle's Will Stay Open
Okay, you can uncross your fingers now. Mary Coyle, the landmark Phoenix ice cream parlor, is staying open.
Two weeks ago, I reported that an employee of the 60-year-old establishment told me Mary Coyle's did have a buyer and, barring any paperwork snags, they hoped to be back in business on June 1st.
Yesterday, The Arizona Republic confirmed that sweet piece of gossip by speaking with owner Tom Kelly who stated that Mary Coyle's has a buyer who is a long-time vendor, but until the sale is finalized, he would not release the name.
Kelly added that during this time Mary Coyle's would not close and will stay open for another month.
Sounds like sweet salvation.

The third instalment in the Jack Palms series picks up right where THIS IS LIFE left off. Jack is in hospital recovering from injuries sustained at the end of THIS IS LIFE - in short order, he's out and in the crosshairs of Russian mob boss Alexi Akakievich. Before long all hell breaks loose and Jack is reacquainted with some former friends in Freeman and Miles who are a little more than a streaky blood stain of their former selves. With Czechs Vlade, Niki, Al, and SFPD Officer Shaw and FBI Agent Jane Gannon on his side, Palms takes on a foe in a death match that's not for the faint hearted.
CZECHMATE is a short, sharp noir that reads like one constant action sequence. Hemmed in by pure brutality and basic instinct lies a deeper evolvement of character as Jack pulls the trigger and grows some cast iron balls, making the step from former actor to class act. Faced with a kill or be killed situation, Harwood pulls no punches in thrusting his protagonist into a world of pure unadulterated pain. This is as violent a book I've read in a while – yet it's not without cause. Harwood uses each independent fight for the betterment of the overall Jack Palms story to tie the chaos into the broader continuity.
My only gripe with CZECHMATE is that it follows directly from THIS IS LIFE. While good if you've read THIS IS LIFE recently, I for one, had let too much water pass under the bridge between the second and third instalment and had to go back to the later stages of THIS IS LIFE to pick up the story. That saidm CZECHMATE is a very solid read - an action packed crime fest that doesn't let up. Bullets fly, bodies are decimated, heroes are born and villains get their just deserves. It's a nicely rounded story that's not too deep but sure packs a punch. I'm looking forward to see where Seth Harwood takes Jack Palms next. The Hollywood actor has rid his former profession - time to see how he makes it as a fully fledged hero.

Future Sight is Mewtwo's Up Special Move in Super Smash Bros. Global Apocalypse. Mewtwo creates duplicates of himself and rushes towards the direction the player inputs very quickly, damaging anyone or anything he hits in his way. It is similar to Pikachu's Quick Attack only that it is slower, significantly more powerful, travels farther and slower and leaves traces of duplicates as Mewtwo attacks. It can deals many hits. It is also helpful for horizontal recovery.

Maybe you had one too many of our famous cocktails last night and unquestionably did things you shouldn't have. You wake up with a headache so bad you actually consider knocking a hole into your head to let the pain out like cavemen used to do.
Being a little over ambitious when it comes to socialising does have its downsides. For a kick-off, you've slept through the entire length of Sunday dinner and you smell like a brewery.
Sound like you need a super fast way of sorting this, and here's how:
1. Fill up on a Full English
We couldn't start a Christmas hangover countdown without mentioning the classic full English fry up. We don't know the science behind it. All we know is that it WORKS.
2. The Basic Bacon Butty
If stomaching a full English at this ungodly hour is a little too much to handle, then begin to build up your stamina for the day with a few slices of crispy bacon on classic white. The only decision that you'll have to make is choosing between red or brown sauce.
3. Hair of the dog
If you're still determined to relive the best bits from last night's amazing Christmas party, feel free to wake yourself up with the 'hair of the dog'. According to some recent science wizardy, consuming a small amount of alcohol the morning after the night before may actually steady your hangover by sending pleasure signals to the brain.
However, we're all for responsible drinking, and the inevitable Christmas hangover is going to catch you out one way or another.
4. Slowly sweat it out
Even if you're feeling up to the task, going Gung-ho down at the gym is not going to ease your stinking Christmas hangover any quicker. If anything, you'll probably become even more dehydrated.
Instead, gentle exercise in the form of a slow jog is likely get your liver into gear and breakdown those nasty toxins. Make sure you keep a bottle of ice cold water close by because you're going to be needing it.
5. Sprite? Yeah, that's right
Chinese researchers, whom we presume have nothing better to be getting on with, recently concluded that this mediocre fizzy drink could in fact be the Holy Grail of hangover cures. Try it out for yourself and let us know how you get on…
Knowing and sticking to your limits is always the best Christmas hangover cure, but when a festive party is in full swing, it's extremely easy to get a little carried away. Don't worry, we'll let you off.
Christmas hangover cure prepped, party on…
With only a few weeks left to go, places are filling up fast so make sure you book your Revolution Christmas party now.

Bertrand Russell's lofty pacifism
He spent a lifetime opposing war – but how well does the legacy of our most famous peace activist stand up to scrutiny? By Jonathan Rée
This article is a preview from the Summer 2014 edition of New Humanist. You can find out more and subscribe here.
Bertrand Russell must be one of the most celebrated public intellectuals of all time. Early in the 20th century he won international fame for his contributions to mathematical logic and advocacy of "scientific method in philosophy". Later he stirred up storms of controversy with pamphlets denouncing Christianity and traditional sexual morality. But in the 1960s he became even more famous on account of his activism in the cause of nuclear disarmament and peace: the issue, as far as he was concerned, was not just human welfare, but "has man a future?" Right at the end of his life (he died in 1970, at the age of 97) he described his philosophical legacy as "trivial" and unworthy of scholarly attention, "at least", as he put it, "compared with the continued existence of the human race".
Russell became the first president of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in 1958, but resigned two years later in order to preside over the Committee of 100, which promised to be more militant than CND, using any means necessary to get the British government to ban the bomb.
"There is," he wrote,
a very widespread feeling that however bad their policies may be, there is nothing that private people can do about it. This is a complete mistake. If all those who disapprove of government policy were to join massive demonstrations of civil disobedience they could render government folly impossible and compel the so-called statesmen to acquiesce in measures that would make human survival possible.
The impact of Russell's rhetoric – his arch sarcasms, unflappable certainties and stark antitheses – was enhanced by images of a dapper old gentleman sitting down in the street with fellow protestors and getting himself arrested in 1961 for breach of the peace. When asked by the magistrate whether he promised to be of good behaviour he said, "No, I do not" and was sentenced to seven days in Brixton prison.
Even to those who disagreed with him, the elderly Russell became an emblem of moral uprightness allied with preternatural intelligence. But there were some who had their doubts, both about his analysis of war and violence and about his charismatic style of leadership. Was he not a little too eager to play the part of an angelic saviour? A little too keen to present himself as a prodigious intellect, graciously descending from his Olympian heights to sort out the mess that we foolish earthlings have got ourselves into? Was he perhaps a little too comfortable with his image as a person of impeccable principle standing alone against the wickedness of politicians? And for those with a sense of history there was also a suspicion that he was reverting in old age to a role he had created for himself as a peace campaigner in the First World War, and that instead of learning from his past he was simply repeating it.
There had always been a certain loftiness about Russell, both as thinker and as activist. He was born into the top aristocracy, and received his education from private tutors in the palatial home of his grandfather, Earl Russell, who had served as prime minister under Queen Victoria. He then went to Trinity College, Cambridge, and after graduating in 1895 he came into a vast inheritance and embarked on the life of a gentleman of independent means. He started to dabble in politics by agitating for free trade, publishing a study of the socialist movement in Germany and standing for parliament in 1907 in the interest of women's suffrage. But he also had a hankering for the certainties of pure reason, and set himself the task of reforming mathematics by providing it with logical foundations of a kind it had never had before. In 1903 he set out his vision of transcendent certainty in a little book called Principles of Mathematics, and over the next decade he explored its implications in three vast volumes of Principia Mathematica, written with the help of the logician A.N. Whitehead, and left incomplete in 1913.
Russell then returned to Trinity College to give lectures on his research, but his confidence was shattered when a young Austrian engineer called Ludwig Wittgenstein turned up and started asking awkward questions about the supposed reality of the objects of logic and mathematics. Soon afterwards the Great War broke out, and Wittgenstein went off to fight for his country. Russell was appalled – not because Wittgenstein was fighting on the wrong side, but because he was fighting at all – and he announced that he was now going to "agitate for peace", and that he would be "giving up philosophy" in order to do so. In August 1914 he joined various friends – notably Lady Ottoline Morrell ("utterly immoral Ottoline Morrell" as some people called her) – in creating an anti-war organisation known as the Union of Democratic Control. Mathematical logic now struck him as "a somewhat futile occupation", and he started addressing protest meetings where he struck out at the injustice of the war and the deceitfulness of the British state.
But he found the work frustrating. His audience consisted of wealthy young romantics in modish loose-fitting garments who enjoyed having their rebelliousness endorsed by a famous philosopher, even if his work was, as they admitted, "entirely beyond our comprehension". Russell was determined to reach out to a wider public – to the young men of all classes who were by then eagerly volunteering for military service – and Lady Ottoline offered to help. In February 1915 she took Russell to a cottage in Sussex to meet her young friend D.H. Lawrence, who was already notorious for his portrayal of working-class life in Sons and Lovers. Lawrence shared Russell's contempt for the politics of war, but did not believe that peace could be brought about by abstract appeals to probity, reason and progress. After a long conversation Russell was converted. "He is amazing," he said to Morrell as they made their way back to London; "he is infallible ... he sees everything and is always right." Within a few days he agreed to collaborate with Lawrence in constructing a new theory of politics based on the idea that human lives are shaped by irrational impulse rather than conscious calculation. "There must be a revolution in the state," Lawrence told him; "it shall begin with nationalising of all ... industries and means of communication, and of the land – in one fell blow," and it would move on to "marriage and love and all ... then, and then only, shall we begin living."
Russell was entranced, and Lawrence reciprocated by confessing a "real hastening of love" towards him. He felt "frightfully important" when he was invited to meet Russell's clever friends in Cambridge, and dreamed of making a splash by proclaiming that "the great living experience for every man is his adventure into the woman." But he soon discovered that the members of Russell's circle, with their facetious nicknames and superior voices, were not interested in that sort of thing, and he started to hate them "beyond expression". Russell was inclined to agree. He decided to join Lawrence in forming a "little society" to propagate the politics of peace, and proposed to launch it with a joint series of public lectures in London in the autumn.
Russell promptly produced a synopsis for his lectures, basing his argument on Lawrence's contrast between "possessive" impulses, which lead to violence and war, and "creative" ones, which blossom into love and true democracy. Lawrence was not impressed. Russell must ditch "mental consciousness", he said, in favour of the "blood knowledge that comes either through the mother or through sex". Russell was not prepared to go quite so far. "Lawrence is just as ferocious a critic as Wittgenstein," he confided to Morrell, "but I thought W. right and I think L. wrong." Lawrence retaliated with brio ("I would rather have the German soldiers with rapine and cruelty, than you with your words of goodness"), and from then on their paths diverged.
Undeterred, Russell delivered his lectures at Caxton Hall, Westminster in the spring of 1916, just as the government was legislating to bring in conscription. His audience included a group of friends who were said to be planning to get him appointed as Prime Minister – his grandfather had been one, after all, and he was a proper aristocrat, and the coup could surely be accomplished with a word in the ear of the right people. There was also a band of young admirers, "dazzled", as one of them put it, by the prospect of "an intellect of terrifying analytic power ... exposing and disintegrating the illusions of war-time patriotism". Morrell's response was more measured.
"It was a rather comic occasion," she wrote,
all the cranks who attend lectures on any subject were there, and amongst them was a Captain White, who was slightly crazy, and would make a long speech about sex and free love, pointing out that if children were born from parents who were in love with each other they would never want to fight ... Then Vernon Lee got up and made a long speech about a cigarette-case, waving her hands about, with her pince-nez dangling ...; and of course, a representative of Arts and Crafts made an impassioned harangue – saying that Arts and Crafts alone would cure any tendency to war. Bertie sat looking miserable on the platform. At last he had to ask them to sit down.
Russell received a letter from Lawrence telling him that his lectures were bound to be useless, but by this time he was no longer interested; he had come to the conclusion that Lawrence was a monstrous egotist, with "no real wish to make the world better, but only to indulge in eloquent soliloquy about how bad it was".
In the matter of eloquent self-indulgence, however, it was beginning to look as if Russell might be just as bad as Lawrence. "I long to stump the country on a stop-the-war campaign," he said, and he certainly found the activity gratifying; Lytton Strachey noted that his famously joyless friend was "at last perfectly happy – gloating over all the horrors and the moral lessons". Russell was not disappointed when, at the end of May, the War Office proceeded against him for "making statements likely to prejudice the recruiting discipline of His Majesty's forces". He was annoyed when Trinity College stripped him of his post and expelled him from his rooms, but he was delighted when an alliance of distinguished colleagues – including some who disagreed with him about the war – protested at the government's disrespectful treatment of the renowned aristocratic philosopher. He looked forward to serving his sentence of two months in prison, calculating that it would generate further sympathy for his cause, but the plan was thwarted when the contents of his rooms were impounded and auctioned off to pay his fine. Instead of going to prison he set off on a speaking tour of South Wales, where he was buoyed up by the enthusiasm of his working-class audiences.
On his return he prepared a set of speeches on "Political Ideals" for delivery in various industrial centres in the autumn, only to find that the War Office had forbidden him to visit "prohibited areas" such as Glasgow, Edinburgh and Newcastle, for fear that his "vicious tenets" might spread to key industrial workers. (In the event he managed to deliver his speeches in Manchester and Birmingham, and they were promptly published in America, though they were banned in Britain.) His case was repeatedly raised in parliament, to widespread annoyance: "Would it not save the time of the House and be for the benefit of the country," as one Tory member asked, "if this man was locked up or sent to Germany?"
Russell's Caxton Hall lectures were published as Principles of Social Reconstruction at the end of the year, and the elderly Earl of Cromer condemned them as "thoroughly mischievous". Cromer conceded that Russell was a "cultivated man" and "a superior – indeed, a very superior – person", but his theory of "creative" and "possessive" impulses was clearly "an incentive to class hatred", and he seemed to be transfixed by a yearning for "mental martyrdom". The accusation of self-glorification was endorsed, from a different angle, by Lawrence: Russell and his friends were, he said, "fusty, fuzzy peace-cranks and lovers of humanity" – in short, "our disease, not our hope".
The book sold well, and Russell found himself "the object of hero-worship", as one observer put it; "his outspoken intransigence gave courage to lesser objectors against the war", and he became "the sign and symbol of their faith in reason and tolerance". When a valiant young officer called Siegfried Sassoon started losing faith in the war, Russell received him in his London flat with patient kindness. "His austere scientific intellect was far beyond my reach," as Sassoon would recall, but when Russell told him he could be "serving the world by thinking independently", he made up his mind to proclaim his opposition to the war, and "let the consequences take care of themselves".
Russell was glad to have helped Sassoon and a few others like him, but by 1917 he was coming to the conclusion that his attempts to curb the mayhem of war had been entirely fruitless. He therefore decided to retreat from activism and make a comeback as a philosopher. He had lost confidence in his capacity for original work – "chiefly through Wittgenstein" as he told Morrell – but he was ready to relaunch himself as a popular writer and freelance teacher, while keeping up a stream of dissident political commentary. Then in January 1918 he published a hasty criticism of the US army, which led to a charge of obstructing international diplomacy and a sentence of six months in Brixton prison.
The prospect of imprisonment was not unwelcome to Russell: apart from political publicity, it would provide him with perfect conditions for philosophical writing. On appeal he had been assigned to "First Division", which meant he would be treated in a manner suited to his social standing: allowed to wear his own clothes, rent a private room equipped with his own books and furniture, eat his own food and employ other prisoners as servants. (The option had been abolished by the time he returned to Brixton more than forty years later.) "Life here is like life on an Ocean liner," he said, and he was able to follow the protracted endgames of the war while getting back into his old routine and writing a breezy book called Mathematical Philosophy.
In the summer of 1919 he received a message from Wittgenstein, who had survived the hazards of front-line service and was now awaiting release from a prisoner-of-war camp in Italy. Wittgenstein hoped they could revive their philosophical relationship, and Russell, with his usual generosity, arranged to meet him in the Hague in December. When Wittgenstein showed him a draft of what would become the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, Russell declared it to be a "really great book", but Wittgenstein was not able to return the compliment: he considered Russell's Mathematical Philosophy superficial, wrong-headed and unregenerate. Russell did not attempt to defend it (it was only a "popular textbook", he said) and anyway he had other things on his mind. Soon afterwards he was being lionised in Barcelona, not only as a logician but as a heroic campaigner for world peace, and then he went on a tour through Soviet Russia, securing audiences with Lenin, Trotsky and other revolutionary leaders, before spending a joyous year in China, where he preached the virtues of modern scientific thought to audiences that included the young Mao.
Despite all these adventures – and also getting divorced and remarried and becoming a father – Russell did not forget about Wittgenstein, who was now teaching at an elementary school in the Austrian Alps. In August 1922 Russell happened to be passing through Austria on his way to an Italian summer school of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, and he arranged to meet up with Wittgenstein again. The encounter was not a success. Wittgenstein found Russell's philosophical work silly and glib, and he ridiculed the very idea of a League for Peace and Freedom. "I suppose you would prefer a League for War and Slavery," Russell retorted, and Wittgenstein replied "eher noch!" – "much rather, much rather!" He was not entirely serious, of course: it is blindingly obvious that peace is better than war, and freedom preferable to slavery, just as health is better than disease, and happiness preferable to depression. But he was not joking either: genuine political differences, he thought, are not going to be resolved by statements of the obvious. In any case he respected the virtues of old-fashioned statesmanship: circumspection, diplomacy and proper caution about the unintended consequences of political action. Presenting oneself as a supporter of "Peace and Freedom" was an exercise in smugness and self-advertisement rather than a heroic act of moral or political virtue, or a substantial contribution to the common good. Russell might be an atheist in theory, but he seemed to be conducting himself like a self-righteous parson. "Russell and the parsons," as Wittgenstein would put it, "have done infinite harm, infinite harm."
It seems to me that Wittgenstein had a point. The peace agenda of Russell and his followers was always based on the assumption that war is simply a euphemism for the madness of state-sponsored mass murder, and that we could prevent it by standing up for moral and political sanity – by committing ourselves to global justice and the relief of poverty, for instance, or social and sexual equality, or common ownership, or world government, or a Lawrentian explosion of creativity and sex. But the paths to war are paved not with malice but with righteous self-certainty. People who choose to participate in military action are more likely to be altruists than egotists: they are prepared to sacrifice their own lives for the sake of something that transcends them, such as their country or their religion, or socialism, secularism or democracy, or a world where peace and tolerance will reign in perpetuity. Of course they are liable, like the rest of us, to be seriously mistaken in countless ways: they probably have an inconsistent scale of values, a shaky grasp of facts and a faulty sense of proportion. They may, just possibly, be open to persuasion through tactful argumentation, subtle negotiation and ingenious rhetoric, but nothing will be gained by accusing them of selfishness, nihilism or moral idiocy, or delivering lectures about self-sacrifice, high principle and the future of humanity.
Different threats to peace, like different threats to health, require different precautions and different interventions, depending on the individual case, and success in averting war is going to depend on luck as much as judgement. If the prospect of nuclear extermination has receded since the time when Russell was prophesying it, the explanation lies less in campaigns for peace and freedom than in the unexpected consequences of developments that no one could have foreseen – the calculations and miscalculations of Mikhail Gorbachev, for instance, or the accidental canniness of Ronald Reagan. Irony is a force of history as well as a figure of speech, and in politics you need to be prepared for surprises, even if you are as clever as Bertrand Russell.

So how many girls out there would date younger guys? The guys being 18+
Most Helpful Girl
No. Most of the girls I've been around have an opinion similar to mine: we like older guys because we perceive them has being more mature. That may not necessarily be true, but it's still how some of us see it. That's especially true if the guy is still pretty young, like 18 or so.
For some reason, I expected 19 year old college guys to be more mature than 17/18 year old high school guys, but honestly, I've found very little difference in maturity levels.11|00|0
19/20 year old college guys**
have you ever dated a younger young?
Just once (though he was only a year younger), and ironically, he was very immature.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee said he has made up his mind on Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, but he's not ready to make his decision public.
Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama said before the Tennessee Republican Party's annual fundraiser on Saturday that he expects the vote on Democratic President Obama's nominee to take place Tuesday.
Session said he remains "very troubled by her responses" at confirmation hearings.
He also praised his Republican colleagues on the panel, saying they "had to raise difficult issues, and at the same time do it in a way that was not unfair to the nominee."
Two of Sessions' Republican colleagues on the Judiciary Committee, John Cornyn of Texas and Orrin Hatch of Utah, have said they will vote against Sotomayor.

AIDS epidemic can be brought under control by 2030: UN
July 16, 2014 - 17:57 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - There is a chance the AIDS epidemic can brought under control by 2030, according to a report by the United Nations AIDS agency, according to BBC News.
The agency said the number of new HIV infections and deaths from Aids were both falling. However, it called for far more international effort as the "current pace cannot end the epidemic".
Charity Medecins Sans Frontieres warned most of those in need of HIV drugs still had no access to them.
The report showed that 35 million people around the world were living with HIV. There were 2.1 million new cases in 2013 - 38% less than the 3.4 million figure in 2001.
AIDS-related deaths have fallen by a fifth in the past three years, standing at 1.5 million a year. South Africa and Ethiopia have particularly improved.
Many factors contribute to the improving picture, including increased access to drugs. There has even been a doubling in the number of men opting for circumcision to reduce the risk of spreading or contracting HIV.
While some things are improving, the picture is far from rosy, the BBC notes. Fewer than four in 10 people with HIV are getting life-saving antiretroviral therapy. And just 15 countries account for three-quarters of all new HIV infections.
The report said: "There have been more achievements in the past five years than in the preceding 23 years. There is evidence about what works and where the obstacles remain, more than ever before, there is hope that ending AIDS is possible. However, a business-as-usual approach or simply sustaining the Aids response at its current pace cannot end the epidemic."
Michel Sidibe, the executive director of UNAIDS, added: "If we accelerate all HIV scale-up by 2020, we will be on track to end the epidemic by 2030, if not, we risk significantly increasing the time it would take - adding a decade, if not more."
Dr Jennifer Cohn, the medical director for Medecins Sans Frontieres' access campaign, said: "Providing life-saving HIV treatment to nearly 12 million people in the developing world is a significant achievement, but more than half of people in need still do not have access."
In Nigeria, 80% of people do not have access to treatment.
Dr Cohn added: "We need to make sure no-one is left behind - and yet, in many of the countries where MSF works we're seeing low rates of treatment coverage, especially in areas of low HIV prevalence and areas of conflict. In some countries, people are being started on treatment too late to save their lives, and pregnant women aren't getting the early support they need."

This was, again, an Irene lesson, and was quickly accessed by thousands of visitors throughout the storm. The company also used social media to get out information, and respond to customer questions and issues in near real time. By the time the storm had passed nearly 900,000 people had received company information via the Facebook page.Water system restoration continues on the northern barrier island in Ocean County, where New Jersey American Water crews are working seven days a week to repair the water distribution infrastructure damaged by the storm. "Our hearts, as well as our dedicated efforts, go out to our customers, particularly those facing an unprecedented level of loss and destruction from Hurricane Sandy," said Baker. "We are working as quickly, and given the challenges of debris and storm damage, as safely as we can to reestablish water service for them." New Jersey American Water, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Water (NYSE: AWK), is the investor-owned water utility in the state, providing high-quality and reliable water and/or wastewater services to approximately 2.5 million people. Founded in 1886, American Water is the largest publicly traded U.S. water and wastewater utility company. With headquarters in Voorhees, N.J., the company employs approximately 7,000 dedicated professionals who provide drinking water, wastewater and other related services to an estimated 15 million people in more than 30 states, as well as parts of Canada.

IT was after close of play on the third day at Calcutta. India was just 275 short of a win, with all 10 wickets intact, and even the weatherman didn't know it would rain mineral water bottles the next day. Pristine cricket-that gentle, yet mortal combat of skill and nerve-was still on everyone's mind. Particularly Sadagopan Ramesh. The gangling 24-year-old southpaw, the latest in a string of experiments at the top of the batting line-up, had managed in five innings to give people something to talk about other than Sachin Tendulkar. Yet, as he took team physio Andrew Kokinos on a visit to a temple, his prayers would certainly have been for a big, match-winning score-a seal of quality on the first flush of a tentative harvest.
It was not to be. He did score 41, and with Laxman, put on a 100-plus opening stand. But, after a batting resume that read 43, 5, 60, 96, and 79, it wasn't good enough-a few more like that, and he would be in danger of being branded as another middle-distance runner of erratic appetite and fickle humour.
Ramesh, a regular at the Anjaneya temple near his home in Chennai, may have found his god a bit impassive at that stage, but benediction day was not far off. 'He believes in the power of japam, says his mother, Vaidehi. And so it was. He struck pay-dirt with a crackling, stylish 143 against Sri Lanka in Colombo. 'As a Hanuman devotee, he was destined to make a mark in the land where his personal god triumphed centuries ago, says father P.C. Sadagopan.
Earlier, facing the likes of Akram, Waqar, Akhtar and Saqlain, Ramesh's approach was a blend of the classic left-hander's liveliness and the rock-steady presence required of an opener: an imperturbable air, backed up by mental callisthenics, eyes alive to the field. 'He's only the second 'probability' player I have seen after Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, says veteran cricket writer Rajan Bala. 'If long-on and long-off are in, he wouldn't mind going over the top as there would be a 60 per cent chance of success. Plus, he's had a better debut than even Sachin, and, more or less, against the same attack. Concurs Ajay Jadeja, 'He's a class player. He can play to all parts of the field, he's a risk-taker.
Ramesh, who cut his cricketing teeth at the R.K. Mission school in Chennai, wasn't always a southpaw. Initially he was a right-arm spinner, who also used to bat right-handed. Says elder brother S. Ramesh, a seamer for the Tamil Nadu team, 'Once, during a school practice session, he tried to play with his left hand. He discovered a new rhythm, since then he has been a left-handed player. Later, as an Economics undergrad at Guru Nanak College, he turned opener. When none of the major clubs in the first zone league were willing to play him in that slot, he joined Jolly Rovers, and started as number eight before moving up the ladder. It was only when he joined spic, a company run by tnca chief A.C. Muthiah, that he got his due as opener, emerging as the highest run-getter for that season.
That helped him break into the state Ranji team in 1995-96, where his brother, Mahesh, already had a place. The third and eldest brother, Satish Kumar, plays for India Pistons and is Ramesh's coach-their father rates Satish as the best cricketer among the trio. 'Initially, we would tell our boys that education should be their first concern, admits the mother. 'But when our eldest son Satish got a job because of his cricketing ability, we allowed them to spend much more time on the game.
The big opportunity for Ramesh came during the recent India A series against the West Indies. Says teammate Rohan Gavaskar, 'He was consistent and delivered the goods when needed. That's why he's broken into the Indian team. He's also very unflappable. The innings against Pakistan won him other converts. Ravi Shastri calls him 'a terrific find . And Qamar Ahmed, Pakistani journalist who's covered over 250 Tests, says: 'He's got all the ingredients of a successful opener-concentration, the shots and temperament. He will go a long way. The rest of the desirable qualities fall into place as you go along.
There are some apprehensions, however, about his lack of footwork. Says Zimbabwean coach Dave Houghton, 'He's strong off the backfoot, but has got to get more movement in his legs. What Bala also pinpoints as his 'only flaw is that he 'does not get his foot out to the pitch of the ball when the line is slightly outside the off-stump . But he refrains from jumping to the conclusion that in Ramesh we have one of those incorrigible, leaden-footed players who prove to be an embarrassment on sterner turf. 'He's seems to be a horse-for-the-course man. If he can get away with playing away from the body on Indian pitches, he will do so. But he would adjust in, say, Australia.
But former Test player Yashpal Sharma prefers a degree of caution: 'He's a good timer of the ball. But if his reflexes slow down a bit and he doesn't get to the pitch of the ball, he could suddenly find his timing going wrong. Agrees Maninder Singh, 'On pitches where the ball bounces he can't get away with not getting behind the line and playing away from his body. But he'll learn. After all, despite all our theorising, he's making runs.
The theories, in fact, abound in related fields as well. Says a senior tnca office-bearer, 'If you look at the game's history, only alternate players from Tamil Nadu make it big on the national scene. V.V. Kumar failed but his successor S. Venkataraghavan made it. T.E. Srinivasan lost out after his Australia tour but K. Srikkanth went on to become the master blaster. So when W.V. Raman failed we knew his successor would shine!
The other, rather pernicious analysis going around in Chennai is that only Iyengars make it to the national team in spite of good domestic performances from others. Says a state Ranji player, 'Right from the days of M.J. Gopalan down to V.V. Kumar, Venkataraghavan, Srikkanth, Raman, and now Ramesh, all are Iyengars. I don't question their talent, but I can't refrain from thinking why only Iyengars make it.
Fellow Iyengars, of course, have only handsome praise for Ramesh. Says India A coach Srikkanth, 'He has the talent and temperament for modern cricket. He's not the most technical bat but he's definitely very effective. He'll be a permanent fixture in the team. Adds Raman, Tamil Nadu Ranji captain, 'He can take the thrill of a one-day game into a Test. Cautious aggression is the word. The level-headedness with which he approached his debut speaks volumes.
Ramesh himself calls his 43 on debut a 'most memorable knock , something he wouldn't forget no matter what else he achieves. Coach Anshuman Gaekwad's favourite too is that debut innings of his. Even Sunil Gavaskar must have been impressed; he was seen at the nets after that knock passing on a few tips to an overwhelmed Ramesh.
About the mans' tastes, bits and pieces of information are seeping through. He loves S.P. Balasubramanium and has a penchant for Hollywood films. Say fellow Ranji players, 'He doesn't like tear-jerkers and loves simple, fun films. He can identify any Balasubramanium number the moment he hears the first few bars. His favourite Bollywood actors are Aamir Khan and Kamalahaasan. Understandably, one of his main cricketing idols is Sachin Tendulkar.Says Ramesh, 'Sharing the same dressing room with Tendulkar has been terrific.
Of course, he prefers vegetarian fare, and doesn't like hotel food. He's also tremendously confident. Says brother Satish, 'He has scored centuries at every level he has played. He scored one on his Ranji debut against Andhra in 1995, in his inter-state one-day cricket debut against Goa and on his debut for India A against the West Indies A team in Bangalore. We expected him to score one on his Test debut in Chepauk. But a deferred bloom, rather than an early burnout, can't be all that bad. To stay the distance as a top-flight bat, it's crucial to master those inevitable, lonely moments when events don't obey the script.

The Downside of Poly: Article in Psychology Today

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing
I am mono and very new to this poly thing.
I was completely distraught when my bf first told me he wants to be poly, in large part because I dont want the hassle of living an alternative lifestyle. I already have to deal with the stigma of being a single mother and being the parent of a child with a psychological disorder. I dont relish the idea of giving society one more reason to judge me.
I chose to be a single parent because my husband was immature, disrespectful to me, and had addictions he refused to deal with. Our lives have been much better since hes been out of our lives.
Psychological problems just plain happen sometimes. I love my son just the same and dare someone to tell me to love him less.
But poly. Poly is not my choice. It does not directly make my life better. Its this thing I do because my bf, whom I love more than anyone on the planet, needs this to feel complete.
Since we embarked on this journey called polyamory together, I have felt isolated from the rest of the world. I cant talk to my mono friends and family about our choice or what Im feeling. I am terrified that people will catch on that my bf has another gf and:
a) feel sorry for me because my man is cheating on me and I dont know it or
b) feel sorry for me because Im too stupid/needy/insecure/fill-in-the-blank to leave a man who is obviously cheating on me.
My bf and I actually read the article today and talked about my discomfort with societal issues. He is unconcerned with what society thinks, because its no one elses business how we love. And I can agree with him that its no one elses business. However, we made this choice for him, so I feel like he can more easily say I dont care what others think or say. I have chosen not to have relationships outside of ours. From the outside looking in, it doesnt appear that I am gaining anything out of agreeing to this type of relationship. Im not pleased with being forced to live more differently. I believe in discretion. Im a very private person. So I don't put my business out all over the place. But this decision makes me feel like Im living in the shadows. And worse yet, if someone gets a glimpse of whats going on in the shadows, they will pity me because I could do so much better.

The Road to Recovery
The longest economic expansion in U.S. history is officially behind us, with the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) declaring that last March was the start of the current recession. With Congress still dithering over a stimulus package, it may be wise to take a moment to reflect on one of the most amazing business cycles this country has ever experienced. Its unique nature means that many of the features that led to phenomenal economic growth--and striking job and income gains--may not be repeated. But legacies remain and assessing today's economic damage can provide clues as to the shape of tomorrow's expansion.
Not since the 1920s has the U.S. seen a business cycle driven by investment, rather than consumer spending. In the '90s, corporations spent billions on information technology to boost productivity. Globalization opened up fresh sources of capital, goods, and labor. The Internet promised whole new ways of doing business. And the stock market became the financial engine pulling the economy along at an ever-faster speed. When the high-tech bubble burst, it revealed silly dot-com business models and ridiculous high-tech stock market valuations. Surprising to the last, the '90s business cycle ended only when a terrorist attack cracked consumer confidence. Had it not been for September 11, the NBER believes the U.S. might even have skirted the recession.
Whenever recovery comes, be it next spring or sooner, it appears likely that the Old Economy will rebound before the New. Overcapacity in high tech is a key, albeit temporary, legacy of the last decade. It may take until 2003 to work off the remaining excess in telecom, personal computers, and chips. But manufacturers in autos, chemicals, engines, and paper restrained themselves in the '90s. As consumers do their Christmas shopping and run down inventory, manufacturing production is poised to rev up anew and lead the recovery.
Higher productivity is perhaps the most enduring legacy of the last business cycle. Productivity growth has continued to be strong right through the downturn, suggesting that the improvement in the '90s was not a figment of the boom years but a return to the economy's historic norm of about 2% per year. Continuing at this rate should allow corporations to rebuild their bottom lines faster than during previous recoveries in the '70s and '80s, when productivity was growing at only 1.4% a year. It should also permit a 3% increase in yearly gross domestic product without triggering inflation--not the red-hot growth of the boom years but solid enough for substantial increases in equity prices.
Geopolitics may provide the greatest uncertainty for the recovery ahead. National security played virtually no role in the economy of the '90s. Now it does. Security will define the level of consumer confidence and the direction of globalization. It could influence international capital flows. It will certainly increase the role of government in the economy.
The U.S. economy, on balance, performed remarkably well over the course of the '90s business cycle. At this point, no one can tell exactly when the next cycle of recovery and expansion will start, or how strong it will be. Our guess is that given the legacies of the past, it will initially be fairly moderate. Measured against 2001, that is progress.
