My Reasons for Reporting This

subset: commoncrawl


text:
There was some discussion of this book a few months ago.
Some took umbrage to the mutsuk's saying that Chinese failed to convey the meaning of dharma; as far as I have read though, (two readings before I had to return it to the library) Park doesn't actually say this. He does critique one notable case of heavy interpolation in an early translation of the Ambattha Sutta, where caste issues which were relevant to Indian culture were replaced with some topics that were more relevant to Chinese society. However, he notes that this was not typical and other interpolations are usually quite minor, and decreased over the different periods of translation.
On the central topic of the book, how Buddhism acquired a "soul", he also notes that while there were issues in the earliest period of translations because the Chinese originally never had a concept of a permanent self to refute in the first place, the later translators did emphasize the central doctrine of anatman. However, already in Indian Buddhism at the time of the translations (and the Chinese translated both sravakayana and mahayana texts simultaneously), the tathagatagarbha already presented a concept that is difficult to distinguish from the Upanishadic Atman.
After knowledge of Sanskrit declined, based on the available translations as well as exchange with Daoist thought, which itself evolved over time to have its own of ideas consciousness, a 道(dao) that basically bears the characteristics of sat, cit and ananda which form the Upanishadic definition of atman emerged in Chinese Buddhism. He notes that Chan took this to its culmination, where dao is the "nature of mind", , sounds familiar?
In the conclusion, he certainly acknowledges that Chinese Buddhism has departed very much from early Buddhism, but he ends off in a fairly positive tone.
There are certain limitations of the Chinese translations certainly, such as the whole strict syllabic structure, lack of a formalized descriptive grammar which developed among inflected languages as well as strong reliance on cultural context, but I think mutsuk overstated her some of her claims.
If one's goal is to reconstruct early Buddhism, then the Chinese texts are still invaluable for comparative study, and as for practice, well, the Mahayana sutras on their own already diverge so much from the Sravakayana texts, so I think it is ultimately a personal issue. Tibetans also came up with their own deviations over the centuries and some teachers also teach things that are very hard to distinguish from atman. If we want to have a universal Buddhist dialogue we should certainly base it on the Sravakayana texts, but if the main tradition you follow has its own deviations from the shared canon (as all existing traditions do), then there is no point criticizing other traditions based on that.
I'm not saying anything new here of course, as Geoff and Malcolm have put it across in different ways before. I hope you don't take any offence either mutsuk, thank you very much for this recommendation, I will try to buy a copy.

This has to be done very gently and carefully, to avoid the risk of disturbing the body and upsetting the person's bardo.
that's true, however if i am not wrong it's not 100 percent, as a person reborn in heavenly realm also have such a sign. maybe not right at the top of the head. the surest sign i know so far is the indication of the person seeing Amitabha himself.

In this week's Torah reading, Pharaoh — the most powerful man in the world — dreams some terrible dreams. Joseph, the outsider, eventually interprets them, unlke his Egyptian equals, who resist because they are afraid of their meaning
In this week's Torah reading, Pharaoh — the most powerful man in the world — dreams some terrible dreams. He dreams of seven healthy cows emerging from the river Nile, but seven sickly cows emerge after them and swallow up the healthy cows. He dreams of seven full and healthy ears of grain growing on a single stalk, but seven shriveled ears of grain grow after them and swallow up the healthy ears. He awakes, and they are only dreams, but he is agitated.
What do these strange dreams mean?
Pharaoh's court is filled with soothsayers. He has gathered the wisest men in the land. Yet when it comes to these dreams, the soothsayers and the wise men somehow have no knowledge. "None could interpret them for Pharaoh." How could this be so?
The dreams do not really seem that hard to interpret, and when Joseph is finally called from the dungeon to solve their mystery, his answer does not really surprise us. "Seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine" seems to be a perfectly reasonable explanation of the dreams' meaning. So why are they so impossible for Pharaoh's courtiers to explain?
Let's look at the Torah's explanation that no one was able to interpret the dreams. If we look at the Hebrew — ein poter otam l'Pharaoh — it becomes clear that the line might be better translated as, "None would interpret them for Pharaoh." With this translation, the wise men's silence and the soothsayers' seeming lack of knowledge start to make more sense. Perhaps they, like Joseph, immediately understand what the dreams meant.
But unlike Joseph, they hesitate to offer this somewhat shocking interpretation to Pharaoh — an interpretation that would truly shake his world and theirs. After all, bearers of bad news are rarely rewarded (Joseph is somewhat of an exception in this regard). Even when Pharaoh suspects that something is wrong, his wise men and soothsayers may choose silence over speaking this particular truth to this most powerful of men.
Joseph is different. He comes from the outside and has no standing at Pharaoh's court to protect. He has been wrongly convicted of a crime, has seen the depths of Pharaoh's dungeons, and has pinned his hopes on the somewhat unreliable memory of Pharaoh's butler. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain in speaking the truth that will change both Pharaoh's life and his own dramatically. That he is rewarded for taking this chance shows us where the Torah's sympathies lie.
Like Joseph and Pharaoh, we live in a world in which many would prefer not to hear inconvenient truths. Will we be like the wise men and soothsayers, unwilling to rock the boat? Or will we be like Joseph, ready to take a risk in order to speak the truth and to promote change?
This week we celebrate Thanksgiving, filled with gratitude for what we have. Yet the truth is that there are so many people in our country who are hungry and hopeless. Who will speak up for them? This week, we celebrate Chanukah, rejoicing in the light.
of freedom. Yet the truth is that there are so many people around the world who are struggling in the darkness of oppression. Who will speak up for them? May the voice of Joseph speak through us for truth and for change this year. Hag Urim Sameah!

DETROIT - Detroit City Council President Charles Pugh lost a brother on Sunday, and the city lost a police sergeant.
Pugh's brother, Almondo Greer-Travis, died at the age of 40.
He was a sergeant with the Detroit Police Department's 12th Precinct.
Greer-Travis collapsed while on the job and officers rushed him to Detroit Receiving Hospital. Doctors tried to revive him, but he died at the hospital.

Pugh released the following statement on Sunday:
"It is with great sadness that I announce my brother, Almondo Greer-Travis, a police sergeant for the Detroit Police Department's 12th Precinct, passed away earlier today. This is devastating for me, my family and the city which he served honorably. Please say a prayer for his three children and his wife who is also a police sergeant."
In a statement released Sunday, Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee said Greer-Traivs was a 16 and 1/2 year veteran of the force.
"(He) collapsed and was in obvious medical distress while on duty in the precinct station," Godbee said in the statement. "Losing one of Detroit's Finest fills us all with sorrow and will be especially challenging for those of us who worked alongside Sgt. Greer-Travis; yet we will remain strong and continue to serve the citizens of Detroit. On behalf of the men and women of the Detroit Police Department, I wish to express my deepest sympathy and prayers to the family and friends of Sgt. Almondo Greer-Travis regarding the loss of our fellow brother in Blue."

Editor's note: The following statement is from Jerry Kozak, president and CEO of the National Milk Producers Federation:
"The nation's dairy farmers thank Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval for vetoing a state bill that would have permitted raw milk to be distributed statewide, and in so doing, siding with health experts who recognize the potential danger to consumers of raw milk.
"Thursday's announcement by Sandoval cited the 'significant public health risks' represented by consuming raw milk, resulting in his veto of Assembly Bill 209.
"Gambling with the health of one's family shouldn't be one of Nevada's hallmarks, and we appreciate Gov. Sandoval heeding that message.
"While 20 states prohibit the sale of raw milk to consumers, several states have loosened, or have considered loosening, restrictions on the sale of unpasteurized dairy products in recent years – despite the number of illnesses that have continued to be linked to the product.
"We urge other states considering similar legislation to look to the exemplary leadership demonstrated by Sandoval."

E-Learn: World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education, in Vancouver, Canada ISBN 978-1-880094-76-1 Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE), Chesapeake, VA
Abstract: New information and communications technologies (ICT) are redefining the concept of literacy. Language arts educators have the responsibility to integrate new literacies into their instruction. VoiceThread is a web-based, collaborative, multimedia presentation tool that teachers can use with their students to improve reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. This paper is a description of collaboration between a university faculty member in elementary education and an instructional technology consultant to incorporate ICT within a required graduate language arts methods class utilizing VoiceThread. A follow-up research study is in progress to determine 1)whether Web 2.0 tools, such as VoiceThread, effectively impact student literacy development 2)if teachers feel adequately prepared to implement 21st century skills in language arts instruction, and 3)barriers that exist for teachers in using Web 2.0 tools in promoting literacy.

October 12, 2011 - BOSTON, MA - The Boston Cannons of Major League Lacrosse (MLL), the premier professional outdoor lacrosse league, today announced their 12-man expansion protected roster for the 2012 MLL season, according to Cannons General Manager Kevin Barney. This is the second of two protected lists following the 2011 season, culling the list of 23 players protected in September.
The players not protected can be drafted in the 2012 MLL Expansion Draft, taking place on December 7 as the Charlotte Hounds and Ohio Machine begin compiling their rosters. After the first three unprotected Boston players are drafted, the Cannons can bring one player back. Thereafter, for each Boston player taken by the Hounds or Machine the Cannons can take one back as well.
"Cutting the 23-man list by almost half was an extremely difficult task," said Barney. "Especially coming off our first Steinfeld Trophy win, ideally we would have liked to keep the Championship roster intact. After careful consideration, we've protected the 12 players we believe are the strongest to build the 2012 team around and will give us the best chance to repeat."
Shortly prior to the announcement of the protected rosters, the Cannons traded defenseman John Lade to the Rochester Rattlers for the 19th overall selection in the 2012 Collegiate Draft. In addition, the Cannons acquired the 11th overall selection in the Expansion Draft and the 15th overall selection in the 2012 Collegiate Draft from the Ohio Machine for the 8th overall selection in the 2012 Collegiate Draft.
"We made two moves late last night, which put us in the Expansion Draft to get a quality player from another team or select one of our own unprotected players," said Barney. "We also now have the 15th, 16th and 19th overall selections in the 2012 Collegiate Draft to continue to build our team for the future."
The 12-man list is highlighted by perennial All-Stars Paul Rabil (midfield), Matt Poskay (attack) and face-off specialist Chris Eck, as well as the Championship Game MVP, goalie Jordan Burke, and defenseman Brian Farrell, who turned in an impressive rookie season. Notable omissions include attackman and Duxbury, MA native Max Quinzani, veteran long pole Kyle Sweeney and goalie Kip Turner.
"To protect 12 players rather than 10, which made the most sense to retain the core of our team, we could only keep one goalie, so we made the tough choice to risk losing one of the best goalies in the league in Kip," continued Barney. "Obviously, Max and Kyle were also key components of our team for the past few seasons, especially during the Championship run, and ideally they'll stay in a Cannons uniform. But due to the uncertainty of their future playing careers in the league, we had to use the 12 roster spots for players we know are one hundred percent committed, especially with the extended season and increased competition with the expansion."
At the conclusion of the 15-round Expansion Draft, any Boston players not selected can be reclaimed and added back to the Cannons roster.
Belisle, Mitch -- Defense
Boyle, Ryan -- Attack
Buchanan, Kevin -- Midfield
Burke, Jordan -- Goalie
Eck, Chris -- Face-Off/Midfield
Farrell, Brian -- Defense
Heim, Pat -- Midfield
Poskay, Matt -- Attack
Rabil, Paul -- Midfield
Ricci, PT -- Defense
Ross, Brad -- Midfield
Smalley, Matt - Midfield
Josh Amidon - Midfield
Shamel Bratton - Midfield
Greg Downing - Midfield
JJ Morrissey - Midfield
John Ortolani - Midfield/FO
Max Quinzani - Attack
Jack Reid - Defense
Mike Stone - Midfield
Kyle Sweeney - Defense
Kip Turner - Goalie
- Boston sends defenseman John Lade to Rochester for the 19th overall pick in the 2012 Collegiate Draft
- Boston sends the 8th overall pick in the 2012 Collegiate Draft to the Ohio Machine for the 15th overall pick in the 2012 Collegiate Draft and the 11th overall pick in the December 7th Expansion Draft.

Get Married on the Luckiest Day Ever!
I thought the roach eating promotion Six Flags did last season was strange, in a way this promotion is even weirder. Saturday July 7th, 2007 (07.07.07) is thought to be the luckiest day in history by the superstitious. People have been booking weddings for that date for years hoping that the luck would extend to their marriages. Obviously by 2007 that day is completely booked for traditional wedding locations, but not your local Six Flags park.
All 12 U.S. Six Flags will be holding seven weddings at 7:00 AM on July 7th.

CT colonography is a radiology test that looks at your large intestines, also called your colon. It is one of many options for colon cancer screenings.
This test is used to look for polyps or cancers of the colon.
Colon Polyps
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
CT colonography is safe. It can be used if you are too sick to have other forms of colon cancer screening.
In some cases, a contrast material is used. One complication may be an allergic reaction to the contrast.
You will be positioned on your back on a movable x-ray table. Just before the test, a small tube will be inserted into your rectum. Air will be gently pumped through this tube. The table will move slowly though the donut-shaped CT scanner. While this is happening, you will need to lie very still. You will be asked to hold your breath during the scan. The scanning test will then be repeated with you lying on your stomach.
You will be able to leave after the test is done. You can resume your normal diet and activities.
30-40 minutes
You may feel cramping and bloating. You may feel the urge to have a bowel movement.
An expert will review the images. If something abnormal is seen, your doctor may suggest a colonoscopy.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
I've been going through your works posted on NG, and I must say, I really love your pallet choice, when it comes to anything, really- I can never get color right, just value- and I really appreciate the soft use of acrylics, and I can't imagine how one would go about doing that, with their rapid setting time.
Particularly with this piece, i like the coupling of modern stylizing with traditional painting (I could see the deer on a Christmas card, and the mother nature portion hanging up at a local gallery)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
WOAH! Surprisingly bright, yet slightly creepy. The bright colors and shines are great and I like that her eyes are empty and the anatomy's just a little skewed to add that extra weirdness.~~ :3

About ten days ago, we identified six offensive players from the Coastal Division to watch out for during the upcoming season. Today, we move to the other division and identify six from the Atlantic side.
Boston College - WR Colin Larmond
Larmond is a six foot three inch redshirt junior with plenty of experience who is looking to continue his development into a top playmaker within the BC offense. He played immediately upon arriving on campus in 2008 and had a breakout sophomore campaign in 2009 before tearing his ACL and missing the entire 2010 season. Larmond returned in 2011 and had a solid season, hauling in 34 passes (2nd on the team) for 528 yards (1st) and three touchdowns (T-1st). Without Montel Harris in the backfield, expect the Eagles and QB Chase Rettig to try to push the ball down the field through the air more often. If that is the case, Larmond will be a major beneficiary.
Clemson - TE Brandon Ford
Just about every Tiger offensive player returns in 2012, except for star tight end Dwayne Allen. Dabo Swinney and offensive coordinator Chad Morris held an open competition this spring to decide who will replace Allen and former wide receiver Ford came out on top. Ford has similar athleticism to Allen, which can be attributed to his time spent as a wide receiver during his earlier years at Clemson. He's a solid six foot four, 220 pounds, so look for him to emerge as a target in the passing game as the year progresses. Clemson was so good last year because defenses weren't allowed to focus on just one pass catcher, so Ford is going to be needed in a big way if the Tigers hope to replicate that success.
Florida State - WR Kelvin Benjamin
Benjamin is a tantalizing talent at receiver for the 'Noles, standing in at six foot six and 242 pounds with good athleticism and the speed to play on the perimeter. However, he came in a bit rough around the edges, which prompted the redshirt during the 2011 season. Now, 2012 is approaching and Benjamin is fresh off an impressive spring in which he established himself as someone who can definitely help the 'Noles offensively this season. At the very least, Benjamin looks like he could be a dynamite threat in the red zone.
NC State - WR Tobais Palmer
Palmer is a 5'11" redshirt senior who will enter the year as one of QB Mike Glennon's top targets offensively. With T.J. Graham gone, the Wolfpack need one of their receivers to step up into a starring role and Palmer might just be the guy. He had 37 receptions in 2011, the most of any returning Wolfpack player and also hauled in five touchdowns. Palmer's biggest game was a 7-catch, 96-yards, 1-touchdown effort early at Wake Forest and he will be looking to repeat those numbers more consistently over the course of the season.
Maryland - WR Stefon Diggs
Is there any doubt here? Diggs was lured to College Park late by offensive coordinator Mike Locksley and will arrive on campus ready to play from day one, and the Terps need him badly. He is the kind of playmaker at receiver the Terps haven't had since current Baltimore Ravens WR Torrey Smith left campus and is certainly an early candidate for ACC Freshman of the Year Honors. He will need a steady season from QB C.J. Brown to be successful, but by all indications, his athletic ability will be a huge weapon for the Terps.
Wake Forest - QB Tanner Price
Price had a big year last year, throwing for more than 3,000 yards with 20 touchdowns and just six interceptions. He has developed very nicely over the past couple of seasons in Winston-Salem and enters 2012 looking to become a top playmaker in the conference. The Deaconss were very competitive last year and came close to playing in the ACC Championship Game and if they hope to repeat that this season, Price will need to have a season similar to the one Riley Skinner had for Wake when they won the ACC in 2006.

Some of the books I am interested in reading are only available for sale and I am interested to know what others think of charging for the dhamma. Below is a relevant quote I found. Thanks.
Ajahn Thanissaro – No Donation Required
"How can I ever repay you for your teaching?" Meditation teachers often hear this question from their students, and the best answer I know is one that my teacher, Ajahn Fuang, gave every time: "By being intent on practicing."
Each time he gave this answer, I was struck by how noble and gracious it was. And it wasn't just a formality. He never pressured his students for donations. Even when our monastery was poor, he never acted poor, never tried to take advantage of their gratitude and trust. He was living a tradition in which, as he often put it, we weren't reduced to hirelings, and the act of teaching the dharma was purely dana, purely a gift.....
Donors, for instance, should not see their gifts to monastics as payment for teachings. That would turn the gift into wages, and deprive it of its potential to gladden the mind. Monastics, in return, shouldn't pressure the donor in any way, even with hints about what they'd like to receive. When asked where a prospective gift should be given, they're told to say, "Give wherever your gift would be used, or would be well cared for, or would last long, or wherever your mind feels inspired." This conveys a sense of trust in the donor's discernment—itself a gift that gladdens the mind.
The same principles apply to the gift of dharma. The Buddha insisted that dharma be taught without expectation of material reward, perhaps because the best way to teach generosity is by being generous with the most valuable thing you have: the dharma itself

Towers defends keeping Bradley in Triple-A
PHOENIX -- D-backs general manager Kevin Towers said again on Tuesday that the decision not to promote top prospect Archie Bradley this week had nothing to do with delaying the right-hander's arbitration or free-agent clocks.
With their rotation struggling, the D-backs promoted Mike Bolsinger from Triple-A Reno to pitch in relief Monday and then take Trevor Cahill's spot in the rotation on Saturday.
At the time, Towers said the reason Bradley was not promoted was that the team still felt he had to improve his fastball command. In addition, the team did not want to bring him up at a time when the team was struggling as it is now because that would put too much pressure on Bradley.
"I think it's very apparent what is going on in Arizona," Bradley's agent, Jay Franklin, told FOXSports on Monday night. "Every ballplayer that is playing Minor League Baseball works his tail off to get an opportunity to play in the big leagues. Archie Bradley has proven to the Diamondbacks organization that he has deserved that opportunity by keeping his mouth shut and letting his numbers speak for his chance to pitch in the major leagues."
Towers said the agent's implication that the decision was financially motivated was simply not true.
Bradley pitched well in his first two starts of the spring but then struggled in his final two, and the D-backs decided to start him in Triple-A.
"If he would have continued to throw like he did his first two outings of Spring Training he would have been on our Opening Day roster regardless of the clock," Towers said. "But his two outings, including the one against Team Australia, he did not have the fastball command that we saw earlier in the spring. Struggling even with his secondary pitches to throw them for strikes, and we didn't feel like it was time at that point in time to break with our ballclub."

I'm a college student launching a project to make discs from carbon fiber. I'm raising the money to start production through pre-orders on the Kickstarter website.
If you're interested you should check it out at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/632 ... arbon-disc
The Disc Golf version of the disc will have a carbon fiber center with a flexible and durable plastic rim that will add the necessary weight and also keep the edge safe. It will be a driver about 10 inches across and around 175 grams. Also, I'm aware that these discs may not be PDGA standard due to flexibility requirements, but standards can change and either way these discs will be fun to have and they fly great.
I am looking to get some feedback about these discs and ways I could improve it. Please let me know of any questions/suggestions/concerns you have for the discs.

A Teacher and Her StalkerMystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.
Detective Drosnin stopped by Ms. Gray's house to inform her that the creep who had been stalking her years ago had just escaped from prison. She seemed to take the news fairly well, and was very polite, though she didn't invite him in.
"You know how demented he is, I'm worried that he'll come after you. Who knows what he might try!" Detective Drosnin said.
"Oh, I'm sure I have nothing to worry about," she replied. But she did sound pretty nervous.
"Would you like me to assign a security detail to you?" he asked.
"Oh, no. I'm a teacher for heaven's sake! Having bodyguards following me around would just scare the students at my school."
"Well, please give me a call or send me an email if you see anything suspicious at all. In fact, send me an email later no matter what, just to let me know that you're alright."
"I will definitely do that!" Ms. Gray replied.
Detective Drosnin got in his car and started back to the station, but after only a few minutes his phone buzzed to inform him that he had an email from Ms. Gray. It read:
This morning I tried a fun new seating style for the kids during the morning assembly. I helped arrange them into rows of twenty one. The kids didn't care, but I really loved it. I liked the second column the best.
"Why on earth would I care!?" he thought to himself. But then he remembered her passion for codes and realized she may be trying to tell him something. He took a closer look at her email, and couldn't believe what he found!
Can you tell what she was trying to say?
HintDetective Drosnin realized that the message was not only in code, it was also the instructions on how to break the code!
AnswerDetective Drosnin tried arranging the letters in Ms. Gray's email the way she described arranging the kids at her school, into rows of twenty one. Then he took a look at the second column like she suggested:
t H i s m o r n i n g i t r i e d a f u n

No wonder she didn't invite him in!

In the past I've actually written it down to get it off my mind but it still persists. And now I also worry that I will send it. Which I have done in the past when I've gotten frustrated with a situation.
My husband does not know about my affair so maybe that is why my focus still seems to be on the AP. Not sure but it is constantly racing, during the day too, about what I want/need to say to the AP.
Anyone else having the same trouble getting their brains to rest?
Wondering if some of my "scared to fly anxiety meds" might help me get a good nights sleep.
I feel bad for your husband. Every night he lies down next to a woman who is silently obsessing over another man's "emotional unavailability."
Have you considered that the AP is also legally and morally unavailable to you because you're married to your husband?
Perhaps your focus should be on your emotional unavailability to the man you pledged the rest of your life to. The father of your 3 children.
IMO confession - though it will no doubt cause some sleepless nights in the beginning - will put you on the road to a good nights sleep. Although it will probably take a lot of hard work to get to that state.
Best wishes.
Without judging, you don't seem at all concerned for what your husband feels; less concerned with what happens to your marriage than how things already "ended" with your AP.
Semi-rhetorical question - if you don't have remorse over your actions and are more concerned with the other man, do you want to even be with him?
Not trying to be too harsh, god knows I have no right to judge, but your priorities are in the wrong place if you are interested in ever ending the A or saving marriage.
Best of luck.
"The truth shall set you free, but first it will make you miserable."
From what I can tell from everything I've read most people are snapped back into reality when their spouse finds out. Since that didnt happen I'm still partially living in fantasy land. I tell myself daily, or actually every 5 minutes, that OM is not the person for me that I just loved the attention and escape from my life. It's hard to let go of for me. That is why I keep writing these letters in my head.
I am trying to make my focus be my husband. My therapist doesnt think I should tell my husband so I'm between worlds right now. I'm just hoping that the more time away from AP I can get back to reality and focus on my family again.
if you don't have remorse over your actions and are more concerned with the other man, do you want to even be with him?
YOU are the problem. And when you decide to be authentic you will become the solution.
I feel sorry for you. You sound sad, selfish, lonely, delusional and cruel. The perfect unremorseful wayward. I know. I was you.
Tell your BS. Have the decency. For him, and you.
Sucks to be me
To be your husband sucks even more. Please confess and give him the right to choose what he wants. It'll help you too, in time.
For me I often have to lose something to realize how much I wanted it.
Also, keeping this secret is toxic. This a huge burden and it is only making things worse. You cannot hope to get healthy emotionally and mentally and work through these issues while trying to maintain a double-life. You will hit a breaking point eventually.
IMO, confused, right now your priority is in staying NC with your AP. I agree, telling your BH might enforce your volition to maintain NC, but the way it seems now, you're in no hurry to do that. So, what I would advise right now is to write those emails physically.. get the feelings out but don't send them. Write them on here so you're purging and getting your thoughts out there.
What you're dealing with right now is hard. I know your aim is to work on your M and the way you can do this right now is by focussing on the here and now. Taking it one day at a time. Staying in the moment and distracting yourself so your thoughts don't race.
I never took any pills but was a wreck following the end of the A and wish I would have, just to help me function and sleep better.
You can do this. You can stop having these thoughts and when the time is right for you, you will tell your BH what's happened.
I went through something very similar to you and ended up confessing over a raging fight. I couldn't contain it anymore. The emotions had built up so acutely that I ended up telling my H in an uncontained and aggressive way. For me, telling him calmly and maturely was way too scary but I knew it had to come out. It was an awful way for him to find out and in hindsight, I wish I would have written him a letter or something.
Anyway.. one day at a time. You must maintain NC, only then can you make yourself stronger and more stable enough to talk to your BH without spilling and being a mess.
The fact is most of you did not confess, you were caught. So it is easy to tell me what to do but it is a different situation. How many of you just decided one day to stop seeing the other person because it was the right thing to do? Probably not many of you, someone was caught and then all hell broke loose.
I am not defending my poor choices to enter into an affair, but I am trying to figure out the best way to not have as much suffering for everyone. Part of me wishes I was caught so that I could have to deal with it RIGHT NOW, but then I'm also glad that I have the time to work on me so that I'm a better person when I do decide to tell my spouse.
THe rotten truth is that I'd still be seeing the AP if he wasnt the one that decided that he didnt want to be involved with a married woman. I had broke it off a month prior but missed him too much. I tried to do the right thing and failed. His wife found out and he is now in his own place going through a divorce. He wants a clean start to the mess he's made of his life. I respect that and he's always said he doesnt want to be the reason my family splits up.
So I'm not putting him on a pedestal, I just cant seem to get AP out of my mind. I am trying, really I am. I'm not trying to avoid anything that reminds me of him though because that is not real to me. I have to live in this world and drive by places we went to together. The sooner I can do it without thinking of him the better off I'll be, but if I avoid all triggers then I'll be stuck at home forever.
If I could get some good sleep I'm hoping that I will start to mellow out a bit and not have so much anxiety about the situation. I just feel like I'm a walking time bomb sometimes.

I sometimes feel the pressure put on people to confess can be overwhelming for a fresh wayward. I'm by no means saying confused shouldn't confess, but for now, she is seeking support in stabilising herself and gaining some control of her life.
I am one that generally makes very good decisions because I think first. Yes I see the irony. I need to make sure I am doing this the best way I can for everyone involved. I know that I probably will confess because it will eat away at me but just not sure when that time will be. Right now my husband and I are trying to re-energize our marriage and have fun together. I need to be sure that I still want to be in this marriage. If I confess and show doubt to where I want to be that will seal the deal to a divorce.
I was not discovered. I confessed freely to many things, some of which happened long before I even met my wife, because I could no longer stand lies.
Even small, tiny little things I did or said to impress her when we first met that weren't true came out.
It's hard. It is, by far, the most painful thing to have to go through (okay - I'm a man so maybe childbirth counts too), but it's worth it to get the secrets out - especially if they're causing you guilt.
I am still working through my own demons, including tremendous guilt for what I've done. But having gone through it now, I can say the best part of my confessing was that the pain I caused in my wife FORCED me to look at myself differently and find a way to change.
Never in my life have I wanted something to go away more, but never in my life has jt been such a driver for me to be a better person, husband, father, etc., all around.
I think maybe some folks (not saying you) think they're prepared for the pain it's going to cause I thought I was too - I was wrong.
My point in saying this is not to convince you, but put my perspective in on how confessing and facing the pain can force you to get to a better place.
Ultimately, you will do what you believe to be best - you know your situation and life, and we do not, aside from what you have posted here on SI.
In any case, I hope the decision you make is the right one for you, and that things turn out the way you hope for.
I'm a big movie guy, so I use quotes a lot.
"Just remember, the sweet ain't as sweet without the sour"
Wishing good things for you.
I think I'd turn this around and say that because they got caught, these people want you to confess. Confessing doesn't gauruntee a successful R, but from what I've seen, As ending with the WS confessing go a lot better than getting caught. They just don't want you to repeat their mistake.

Your only now trying to re-engergize your marriage because it is the backup plan. You want to be sure you are still in the marriage, well you are not. Its simple. You wont show any remorse yet because you didnt want the affair to end, you got dumped. The fact that you keep thinking about writing letters etc to the OM is you still want him, not your husband. The affair is still going on to you, just by living the memories and thoughts.
You only hope telling your husband will some how force you out of the fog but that wont work. Telling your husband about the affair will be devastating, explaining how the other man dumped you and thats why you are trying to now make the marriage work will only tell him he was second choice and humiliate him. Maybe you hold onto the secret and reenergize your marriage only to blow it up later with your affair confession.
Or do you subconsciously want the affair exposed, your husband asks you to move out and now you are free hoping the other man will see you as available hoping to win him back somehow?
First be honest with yourself about the entire situation, till that happens it doesnt sound like your marriage has any chance anyway because you just arent invested
It's hard to come here and be honest because you do get the attack right off the bat.
I responded to you right off the bat and am sorry if my post came off as an attack. The truth often seems that way, but that wasn't the intent of the post.
My intent was to show you the absurdity of your mindset and the cruelty of your actions. First, you are still in the affair. Just the physical part has stopped for now. You are obsessing over someone other than your husband in the presence of your husband, and everywhere else for that matter, I'm sure.
You lament the emotional unavailability of a man who isn't yours while appearing to have no concern over your emotional unavailability to the man you are supposed to love, honor and cherish for life. That's the absurd part.
And here's the cruel part. Your husband knows that something is badly wrong with his marriage, or his life, but just can't put his finger on it right now. Subconsciously he might suspect that you are cheating, but consciously he can't bear to face that. Denial is powerful for BS's as well as WS's.
During my wife's affair I once had a vivid daydream, for no apparent reason, that a private investigator lead me to a home where we observed my wife getting it on with another man through a window. I snapped myself out of it and actually chastised myself for having a weird swinger fantasy (even though I wasn't the least bit aroused and that's not how I roll...hmmm). In hindsight, I see that a part of me was screaming "she's cheating on you!" but the conscious part of me was in such denial that I blamed the messenger (myself) rather than listen to what the daydream was trying to tell me.
Your husband is suffering right now. He has to be. There's no way he can live day-to-day with a wife who's obsessing over another man and not have some kind of internal alarm bells ringing. If he's like me and probably 95% of BS who are in denial about the true state of their marriages, he can't (or won't) pinpoint the exact problem, but deep down he knows something is seriously wrong.
You can bet your kids feel it, as well. Our teenage girls never seemed as unhappy as they did during that period. Turns out they uncovered the affair long before I did by snooping, but something made them snoop. I'm embarrassed to say that they were more in tune with their mother than I was, but it's the truth. Their radars were pinging long before mine did, but the point is you are almost certainly giving off vibes that are unsettling to your loved ones.
My wife didn't confess, I caught her sneaking a cell phone call to the OM. Just stumbled on her, and she was so distracted by the argument they were having to even notice me standing right in front of her. By the time she did notice me, it was too late - I could clearly hear his voice coming through the cell, and it was an obvious lover's quarrel. That's a hell of a way to find out, and I've had to live with the reality that my wife's affair would have lasted longer and may still be ongoing if I didn't catch her. Who knows, maybe one of our daughters would have told me first - another horrible way to find out. We are R in spite of the way I found out, but it doesn't make it easier.
Doesn't your husband deserve the truth, and to hear it from you as opposed to seeing the evidence on an email, or text, or from an OBS, concerned friend, etc.? You have an opportunity to make things right sooner rather than later. To let healing begin now, rather than next month, next year, or 10 years from now. Even if it ends the marriage, is that not a forseeable consequence of your choices? Your husband has a right to decide if he wants to D or R a wife who has emotionally and sexually betrayed him. And you'd be surprised how many BS's choose R even after some of the most horrific betrayals - multiple AP's, long term affairs that last years, even decades, discovering that your child isn't yours biologically, etc. You name it, and someone on SI has overcome it.
Don't assume that coming clean will have a bad ending. Despite all the pain, in many ways my wife and I have never had a better marriage. Intense pain can break down a lot of walls and purge a lot of toxins. We have a ways to go, but the future looks bright.
Even though the last 11 months has been difficult in many ways, we've grown closer as a family. The truth will set you and your loved ones free, one way or the other. Give up the illusion of control over what happens from here on, because you gave up control when you chose the dark path of infidelity.
You think you are in your marriage BUT the truth is you are not. You are physically there but you are spending a lot of time with the AP in your mind. That's a lot of time you should be spending on getting yourself fixed, and focused on your marriage. I feel for you husband.
Snap out of your fantasyland and get into the real world, which is you marriage. I don't believe that not confessing to your poor husband is the right way to go. You are depriving this poor man of the right to make informed decisions for his life and for his children.
Do what is right by your husband and your children. Sins have a way of coming out on their own - one day the truth will come out. It could be years down the road, and in all that time, your husband is living a marriage that was a lie.
Get your acts together and start treating your husband right.

I don't see any attacks. I see people giving you their opinions so if I've missed something please PM me and we'll get it straightened out.
My tolerance for stupid shit is getting less and less.
We cross posted.
You are not to swing 2x4's in this forum. This is not your WS so please post respectfully in here.
Your only now trying to re-engergize your marriage because it is the backup plan. You want to be sure you are still in the marriage, well you are not. Its simple.

The affair is still going on to you, just by living the memories and thoughts.
When I first broke up with AP I left feeling really good about it, knew I was doing the right thing for me and my family. He never tried to reel me back in, I contacted him eventually because I missed him. I knew that by coming back I was giving up the power card so to speak but decided it was worth the risk and knew full on that he would probably be the one to end it eventually. I would still be with AP if he didnt dump me though, that is true. I wasn't ready to let go, although I also couldn't go on the way things were. I confronted him, which he hates and puts bigger walls up, because I didnt like the way I was feeling by his actions. I knew with 99% certainty that he would say we need to cool things off. and he did. I was a mess when I first walked in the door, I'm emotional.I couldn't get control back and just wept at how much of a mess things were. I knew in my heart this couldn't go on but didnt have the strength to end it and also realized that he will never change. I may change my tone later but for the most part if I was going to have an affair, I am happy with the person I picked. Professional, educated, no std's, overall a good guy but just in a mess like me. However our big issue was communication and his lack of it. It would drive me crazy to be with him long term that way. I am eager to see how I feel 6 months from now and if I still say generally good stuff about him. Everyone says I'm just in the fog and all OM are big bad liars but I will say that everyone is different and their reasons are different. I know that I'm a good person deep down and I just happened to make a bad decision without thinking about anyone but myself.
I also picked a great husband. who is all those things and more. I just need to get through the crap so I can see more clearly again. I really liked the attention, and while my husband is trying to give it to me it just isn't what I am seeking from him. I need to dig deep and figure out how to fix me, not have him try to fix me. I know what some of my issues are just not sure how to fix it.
Or do you subconsciously want the affair exposed, your husband asks you to move out and now you are free hoping the other man will see you as available hoping to win him back somehow?

Irish Rep's A CELEBRATION OF HAROLD PINTER Adds Performances, 11/6 & 13
Off-Broadway's Irish Repertory Theatre, which was had been closed during the blackout, has added performances of Julian Sands in A CELEBRATION OF Harold Pinter on Tuesdays, November 6 and 13 at 7pm in its W. Scott McLucas Studio Theatre (132 West 22nd Street). John Malkovich ("Places in the Heart") directs.
A Celebration of Harold Pinter officially opened October 16 to enthusiastic reviews. Following the blackout, performances resumed on Friday, November 2. As previously announced, performances currently run through November 25.
With personal anecdotes and reflections drawn from their work together, Julian Sands ("Room With a View," "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo") combines Harold Pinter's poems and political prose to create a very fresh and intimate insight into the Nobel laureate's literary legacy.
A Celebration of Harold Pinter premiered at the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe Festival as an homage to Pinter, who died in 2008. The production toured through Britain, and was presented in San Francisco and Los Angeles earlier this year with Backstage calling it "mandatory viewing for devotees of the actor and certainly 'the defining dramatist of the 20th century.'"
A Celebration of Harold Pinter is produced in association with Nick Brooke Ltd. Nick Brooke Ltd. is a West End based entertainment Production Company, specializing in drama, cabaret, musicals and children's theatre. Its productions have toured throughout the United Kingdom, as well as having played in the West End, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and in the USA. Further details at www.nickbrooke.com.
The production features lighting design by Michael O'Connor. Production Stage Manager is Elis C. Arroyo.
Co-founded by Producing Director Ciarán O'Reilly and Artistic Director Charlotte Moore, The Irish Repertory Theatre opened its doors in September 1988 with Sean O'Casey's THE PLOUGH AND THE STARS. The mission of the theatre was and remains to bring works by Irish and Irish American masters and contemporary playwrights to American audiences; to provide a context for understanding the contemporary Irish American experience; and to encourage the development of new works focusing on the Irish and Irish American experience, as well as a range of other cultures. Ms. Moore and Mr. O'Reilly received the 2011 Eugene O'Neill Lifetime Achievement Award from Irish American Writers & Artists, Inc.
A Celebration of Harold Pinter runs through November 25 in The Irish Repertory Theatre's W. Scott McLucas Studio Theatre (132 West 22nd Street, between 6th and 7th Avenues): Wednesdays at 3pm and 8pm; Thursdays at 7pm; Fridays at 8pm; Saturdays and 3pm and 8pm; and Sundays at 3pm; with additional performances Tuesdays, November 6 and 13 at 7pm and Tuesday, November 20 at 8pm; no performance Thursday, November 22.

LOS ANGELES and FRAMINGHAM, Mass. Staples announced that actress Nikki Blonsky, singer JoJo, actor Zac Levi and other celebrities joined teen volunteers to donate 500 gift bags of school supplies to underprivileged students in Los Angeles. The star-studded Staples/Do Something 101 party at the Globe Theater at Universal followed yesterday's Teen Choice Awards, the company reported.
Staples said it will add an additional 4,500 supply gift bags to the 500 bags created yesterday, a total value of $125,000 worth of supplies, so that thousands of members of the Variety Boys & Girls Club and Boys & Girls Club of Hollywood can head back to school with the supplies they need to succeed.
"We hope the presence of celebrities giving back inspires others to take action in support of their local communities," said Demos Parneros, president of U.S. Retail at Staples. "Staples stores will continue to collect school supplies through mid-September to benefit youth around the country."

It is estimated that 350-400 million people worldwide are chronically infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). Cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma are major complications of chronic HBV infection and are responsible of about 500,000 deaths each year. Although some predictive factors of the outcome of chronic HBV infection were reported, it remains needed to more precisely determine the factors which are associated with the outcome in non-selected patients. Indeed, these factors should help to identify patients who are likely to have a better or worse evolution of their chronic HBV infection over time and thus, to adapt their clinical management and monitoring.Therefore, our purpose is to constitute a "real-life" cohort of non-selected patients to create a database of epidemiological, clinical, biological, virological and therapeutic parameters, in order to determine factors associated with the outcome of chronic HBV infection.
