New Book by Professor Steve Jones
The past decade has seen a profound shift in our collective understanding of the digital network. What was once understood to be a transcendent virtual reality is now experienced as a ubiquitous grid of data that we move through and interact with every day, raising new questions about the social, locative, embodied, and object-oriented nature of our experience in the networked world.
In The Emergence of the Digital Humanities, Steve Jones, Professor of English and Co-Director of the Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities, examines this shift in our relationship to digital technology and the ways that it has affected humanities scholarship and the academy more broadly. Based on the premise that the network is now everywhere rather than merely "out there," Jones links together seemingly disparate cultural events—the essential features of popular social media, the rise of motion-control gaming and mobile platforms, the controversy over the "gamification" of everyday life, the spatial turn, fabrication and 3D printing, and electronic publishing—and argues that cultural responses to changes in technology provide an essential context for understanding the emergence of the digital humanities as a new field of study in this millennium.

Five crews from TV stations out of Atlanta were waiting for Georgia football coach Mark Richt in the room in the Butts-Mehre building where his regular post-practice news conferences are held usually with media members numbering in the single digits.
"Big group for Day One," Richt said following his team's first spring practice.
They were waiting to question him about four of his players arrested Monday night for twice cashed UGA-issued checks for athletes on scholarship.
Safety Tray Matthews, defensive lineman Jonathan Taylor, defensive end James DeLoach and wide receiver Uriah LeMay each were charged with multiple misdemeanor counts of theft by deception.
"It's a distraction," Richt said. "I imagine there's more people here today because of that. I don't know. Maybe ya'll wanted to hear about football."
It wasn't long after word began to spread late Monday night about the players arrested that a prominent national college football voice weighed in on Twitter.
"Clearly some of the UGA players take advantage of Coach Richt's forgiving heart. No fear of the consequences leads to ongoing (shenanigans)," ESPN/ABC's Kirk Herbstreit tweeted.
That drew beg-to-differ responses from Georgia fans who pointed out Georgia's strict drug testing policy and the dismissal of players Nick Marshall (Auburn) and Zach Mettenberger (LSU), who found success at other SEC schools.
Kevin Butler, the College Football Hall of Fame kicker from Georgia, posted on his Twitter account: @KirkHerbstreit your dead on Kirk ….. No consequences, no fear… just plain stupidity every year. Embarrassing for University.'Äù
By early afternoon, Herbstreit and Richt spoke by phone, Herbstreit tweeted they were able to "express ourselves clearly," and his respect for Richt.
After practice, Richt was asked if he ever gets tired of defending his program and dealing with criticism from the outside.
"Everybody wants to do that," Richt said. "I think that if you took 125 students at Georgia or anywhere else in the country and you just said, 'I'm going to follow these 125 people and I'm going to see what they do.' I think you'd probably find a little bit of this and a little bit of that along the way. But because our guys are so ….and our sport is so high profile, the SEC is high profile, Georgia is high profile, every time something happens everybody knows about it. So we deal with it."
Richt cut off questions related to the arrests and how he disciplines players after five.
"That's about all I'm going to say about that," he said. "but if we want to talk about football again, I'll keep talking.*
No Georgia players were available for interviews Tuesday, but that was the plan before the arrests.
"Ready for our first spring practice!" Matthews tweeted at lunchtime.
All four of the players who were arrested practiced Tuesday.
DeLoach charged into a blocking dummy at one point during a drill.
Richt said there was "a lot of energy, a lot of hard work," in the first practice with new defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt and new defensive assistants Tracy Rocker, Kevin Sherrer and Mike Ekeler.
"I was pretty impressed with the fact that our defense could get lined up as quickly as they did," Richt said. "The offense was going fast-paced and high-tempo, and the defensive coaches got the boys lined up."
Pruitt was quite animated telling the defensive backs he's coaching in a drill "to keep your hands up, keep your hands up," and then took off his cap to make his point and told them they would repeat the drill.
"That's how we're going to play!" he yelled.
Good thing he wasn't miced up.
"Yeah, Jeremy, he'll get after it," Richt said. "Don't know if everything was on audio, hopefully there's no audio out there."
There was an encouraging sign with Todd Gurley.
Richt said the star tailback "didn't do anything" in the offseason conditioning mat drill program after dealing with ankle and hip injuries as a sophomore, but he practiced on Tuesday in the non-contact session.
"He made it through the whole practice pretty good," Richt said. "We'll see how it goes once we put pads on and all that. I don't know if we'll have any limitations or not."
Three players coming back from ACL surgery are also practiced in non-contact jerseys. Receiver Malcolm Mitchell was catching passes early but got a little sore, Richt said.
He added: "I think there's a chance he could run some routes competitively. He certainly could run some routes versus air. Whether he'll go against a defender or not, I don't know about that yet."
Tailback Keith Marshall did "a little drill work," and some run polish, Richt said. Cornerback Reggie Wilkerson worked in a non-contact jersey.
Tight end Jay Rome (foot) and receiver Justin Scott-Wesley (knee) did not practice. The team returns to practice on Thursday.

News: #GamerGate
As an indie company with a single significant project, being able to get the word out and being recognized, objectively, by gaming publications for the value and flaws of our products is invaluable. We like to believe that gaming journalists look at what we do with a critical but fair eye, and ultimately provide value and increased understanding to their readers and us.
Unfortunately, when there are unethical ties between journalists and the businesses that they purport to review, then this all becomes meaningless and serves essentially to subvert the very system of trust that journalism is built on. We, of course, cannot stand for this and as the core principle of #GamerGate, we agree with it.
The companies and journalists caught engaging in this unethical behavior, of course, would prefer to just portray those complaining as a bunch of teenage trolls and harassers - thus the accusations of sexism and other unrelated, essentially personal attacks. Ultimately, we do not support stupidity anywhere - whether from individuals or from companies. But we strongly think that journalists should be held to ethical standards and that corruption from the industry is actively serving to harm the entire culture of gaming.

On my continuing mission to take apart HiTechnic sensors and show you guys their guts, I present to you: The Gyro. The little yellow/gold component on the right of the PCB is the actual gyro chip, the rest of the components most likely to deal with power conditioning. There's not a whole lot to tell about this board since there's not a lot to it. The other side of this board is completely bare apart from some writing, a couple of vias and the connector, of course.

Other sized boxes or boxes with different letter codes weren't affected, the company said.

If you have a recalled box, take it back to the store or contact Kellogg's at www.Kelloggs.com or 800-962-1413 for a replacement coupon.

workers could have been more pleasant. they were rude towards us
I reserved a 17' truck and was given a 14' truck. On top of that, I was told I reserved a 14' truck which was not correct. I had to make extra trips with the car because of this, that little bit would have made a difference, and the girl who rang me out really couldn't care less.
Sent me away w/ a lock on the cargo trailer. Didn't realize until 10 miles away. Had to travel to another location to have drilled out and removed. Waste of time, money and gas. No apologies from staff, no credit given. Filed complaint via uhaul customer service online yesterday morning. No reply yet. Won't use uhaul Whalley Ave again or recommend.
The vehicle was ready when we needed it and off we went. They were polite and friendly and we had a great experience.
improve parking for customer vehicles at this location
Educate the staff to be more customer friendly. Do not when calling a customer on the phone ask for them by their first name ever. Don't pressure a customer on return time when you have 24 hours to return.
Prices should be a tad cheaper.
Let them know about all rate plans and deals....
waited to long to get truck, one person at counter at 8:30
while we all stand around for service. 4 people waiting to get a rental. Need more help at counter in the AM
Customer service at this location is terrible.
Nothing. Your staff are very good. I'm satisfied. :)
We were charged for a late fee, and when we asked the employee why we're were being charged he did not have an Explaination. We were very disappointed with the customer service. We called the customer service number and they were equally as unhelpful.
I made reservations for a 14' truck ahead of time and when I got to the location, they said my truck was not there. I had to settle for a 10' truck and make an additional trip. I was told I would get a $50 credit when I returned the truck (as stated online). However, when I returned the truck, the employee said I had to come back when a manager is there. Also, I paid for a dolly and that was never in the truck. I was told to come back for that reimbursement as well.
This location needs to provide parking for people who are renting a truck for a round-trip day use. I needed the truck for less than six hours, and had to find somewhere to park for the day and walk quite far back to the location.
We had a very disappointing experience at this Uhaul. I came 15 minutes early, and ended up waiting in line for over an hour. I had a 4 hour reservation, and because I waited in line an hour into my reservation time, I was told I had to have the vehicle back within 3 hours. I can understand if I was an hour late for pick up, but the fact that I could do nothing is unacceptable. I was patient in waiting, and was treated with very poor customer service. In the end I had to rush my move because they were under staffed. I will not be returning to this Uhaul.
The agent in the store had me sign out on a form that the gas tank was at the 11/16 level. When I entered the car the level was in fact 7/16. The agent did not allow me to come in to rectify the discrepancy. In spite of driving only 11 miles, I was charged to refill it to the 11/16 level-- for a 33-gallon tank this would mean I had to use 8 gallons of gas in the course of driving 11 miles. When I filed a dispute the manager called me and in spite of confirming that the agent had not done his job, refused to conduct the investigation and insulted me. I will never do business with this location again.
Have trailer there and ready for pickup when time deisignated
very disappointed I had to pay full price, when all i had the equipment for was 45min. Had to return the trailer due to my pick up equipment was cancelled.
This is the worst place to rent a truck from for whatever reason. the workers are bunch of liars, rude, insulting and disrespectful. I wonder where they are hired from or if they even attended any k-12 what to talk of high school or college. Poor customer service and abusive. I will never step my foot into Uhaul nor recommend any person I know to go there. they sucks
I rented a 6x12 trailer on Fri 24, at 7:30 pm. I returned it on the 25th at 7:45pm. They charged me an extra day. I called and told them I couldn't make it at 7:30pm. Uhaul said as long as I returned it by 7am on the 26th. I would not be charged. I was charged.
The roller on the sliding door jammed and I had to bunji the door closed.
prompt, knowledgeable and freindly
considering that there was only one worker there and you could see that the employee was sick face flushed and all , however he was pleasant and very professional. he was very customer orientated thumps up!!
I think mileage plans should be offered. You expect to pay one thing and you end up paying more or in state should be unlimited mileage
Fast friendly service
No improvement the customer service was great.

So, what would you do if you are the happy, proud and no doubt protective owner of an all new McLaren P1? You would want to protect it so it stays in its prestine condition for the rest of eternity, am I right?
Of course.
Well, that is what Jay Leno – former talk show host and swoon worthy car collector – did immediately when he got his McLaren P1 (because obviously Jay Leno owns a brand new McLaren P1…)
Jealousy aside, Jay invite chis viewers of his popular YouTube channel, Jay Leno's Garage, to come with and witness as his latest addition to his ever growing car collection gets wrapped in a protective coating that will keep it looking spiff and spam for years to come – perhaps not for the rest of eternity, but, close enough. (more…)
Ah, a classic drag race – there really is few things in life that give us the thrill of watching two, powerful sports cars go head to head in a bid to see who is the most powerful and of course, fastest. However, what happens if you pit a more traditional sports car against it's modern counterpart?
Well this is what we're super excited to find out.
YouTube channel, The Fast Lane Car, recently pitted a classic, 2015 Chevy Corvette Stingray against the all new, futuristic BMW i8 – and of course, as we all know, the BMW i8 is a hybrid electric car. So will it have the potential to destroy a full on, classic sports car such as the Stingray? (more…)
The other day we reported on Lexus' latest collaboration with music producer/singer/automotive designer Will.I.Am in ann effort to promote their new NX crossover.
As you may know, Will.I.Am has tried his hand at designing custom cars in the past – some of which resulted in extremely strange and rather weird hybrid versions of well know cars.
However, as Lexus promoted their new NX, so did Will.i.Am and, amidst wild speculation as to what the end result would look like, we are surprised to say that the "extremely stylised version' of the NX crossover is actually not bad at all. In fact, we'll go as far as to say that this car has that 'boom-boom pow'.
Revealed last night at Paris Fashion Week, Will.i.Am looked rather satisfied with his creation as he revealed it to handful of cheering fans. (more…)
There is absolutely no doubt about the fact that 3D printing is taking over the world. It is one of the most revolutionary inventions of our time and has captured the attention and imagination of many across the globe.
Just the thought of physically and quickly being able to print a three dimensional object in the comfort of your home (if you so wish) is rather intriguing.
That's why so many people have started experimenting with 3D printing and seeing how far they can push the boundaries with this new technology. One such company that wasn't afraid of taking things to the next level, is a company called Local Motors. In fact, they dreamt so big, that actually 3D printed a car. For reals.
I mean, we have seen some pretty out there thing seeing printed in 3D – from prosthetic limbs to weapons and guns (that actually work) – there seems to be no end to the imagination of those capable of 3D printing.
Local Motors, however, is the first company we've heard of that actually decided to print a full size, drivable car. (more…)
Whether its in an action film, super hero movie or suspenseful thriller, the chances are when you watch a bog budget Hollywood movie, you'll see some kind of stunts being performed. And when these stunts involve cars, we get really excited.
Stuntmen and more specifically stunt drivers have the scariest, most dangerous and no doubt most exhilarating fun jobs in Hollywood – or at least we think so.
They get to drive around (usually very fast) in super cool cars and then crash the, flip them or spin them in manoeuvres we can only dream of. (more…)
Do you know what is as important as having a good looking car? Having a clean, good looking car.
This is why we thought we'd introduce you to the world's biggest car wash. At this car wash, you don't just simply go for a wash 'n go, you treat your petrol-run, metal friend (this is your car). Think of it as a parlour/spa for your car.
Mr. Wash, in Stuttgart, Germany, is way more than a car wash. You won't find Frikkie and his hosepipe and Sunlight liquid at this establishment. Oh no.
The entire building is 2-stories high and cost a whopping $40 million to build! It can clean up to 400 cars per hour – yes, per HOUR. Which, if you calculate, amours to roughly 500 000 cars a year! (more…)
The day has finally arrived that we get to see the all new, beautiful 2016 Mazda MX-5.
A few weeks ago, we reported on the first teaser image that the Japanese automaker showed us, but, today, we can finally see the new car in all its glory, The 2016 MX-5 was officially unveiled on Wednesday.
Mazda has said that the idea with the 2016 model, was to bring it back to it's roots. And by roots we mean size and weight. The company said that they wanted to make their latest model similar to the very first one, which made its debut 24 years ago on 1989. So taking a cue from that year, the new MX-5 is set to be lighter, but still very fast.
Chris Harris is a very lucky man, this we know. He gets to test drive all the latest and greatest the automobile industry has to offer and then tell us viewers whether it's good or not.
This time around, however, the self-confessed car junkie took a bit of a different route.
This video features Chris Harris building his very own rally car. Or rather, taking an old E30 M3 rally car and turning it into a better one. It's really very interesting and for anyone who ever wanted to build their very own rally car, it is a must see.
Check out the video below. Enjoy!

NCSL's election experts break down the midterm state legislative elections along voters' verdict on statewide ballot measures.
Current Issue
The issue at hand is the precarious state of the Highway Trust Fund (HTF), which is, by the U.S. Department of Transportation's own admission, facing the possibility of dropping below the threshold of certainty for state reimbursements by August.
Continue >
Dozens of legislators and legislative staff members gathered in Park City, Utah late last week for NCSL's inaugural Western States Fiscal Leaders Meeting. Attendees from 14 Western states met for a day and a half to learn from policy experts and each other as they prepare to confront pressing fiscal issues in next year's legislative sessions.
Earlier this month, 26 leaders of state legislative education committees from 21 states met for two and a half days at NCSL's annual Education Chairs Workshop to study, learn and engage with each other on some of the top education issues facing their states.
The most pivotal battle of the American Civil War was fought on the first three days of July 151 years ago in Gettysburg, Penn. Historians estimate that there were nearly 50,000 casualties on those hallowed grounds as a result of just three days of fighting. The lessons from the battle and the decisions made by leaders from both sides are as relevant today as they were in the 19th century.
Many Americans believe their finances are in good order because they are saving regularly for retirement, often through an employer-augmented 401(k) plan.
Steve Barnett, director of the National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER), highlighted some of the key findings of NIEER's annual State Preschool Yearbook during a June 24 NCSL webinar entitled State Prekindergarten Programs: A Decade of Progress.
When "Gone With the Wind" premiered in Atlanta in December 1939, the stars stayed at the Georgian Terrace Hotel where they gathered for a celebration.Seventy-five years later at the Georgian Terrace, NCSL partnered with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) to sponsor a two-day NCSL invitational meeting "Cost Effective Strategies in Public Health: The 'Winnable Battles Initiative.'"
The tragic injury of six-time Olympic gold medalist Amy Van Dyken-Rouen was an uncomfortable reminder of the dangers posed by all-terrain vehicles.
Wisconsin is a unique case study in elections administration because it is highly decentralized. Elections are run by 1,852 jurisdictions at the city, town and village level, rather than on the county level as in most other states.
NCSL has launched the Elections Administration Research Database, which brings together over 1,900 reports that, altogether, address a wide range of elections topics. It is supported by generous funding from The Pew Charitable Trusts.

Diplomacy: The flotilla as metaphor
Mavi Marmara 311.

Among the most telling aspects of the state comptroller's report, published
Wednesday, which chronicles a slapdash decision-making process inside the Prime
Minister's Office in general, and with regard to the Mavi Marmara incident in
particular, was Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's official response to
it.In the final analysis, Netanyahu said in a statement issued by his
office, "Israel's citizens are enjoying a level of security that they have not
known for years."In other words, forget all State Comptroller Micha
Lindenstrauss's carping about shoddy preparation, about a decision-making
process dominated by the defense establishment, about the lack of input from the
security cabinet on key and vital issues; The only thing that really matters are
the results. And the overall result of the last three years is a security
situation for Israelis that is better than it has been in recent
memory.This good security situation didn't just appear out of the blue,
the PMO response continued. Rather, "this security is the direct result of
responsible management and determined policy. The security discussions that have
been held over the past three years have been unprecedented in their scope and
depth, as attested to by those who have participated in them."That last
line has been the PMO and the Defense Ministry's mantra whenever they are
criticized about how decisions are made – whether the criticism comes from the
comptroller, the former head of the Mossad or the former head of the Shin
Bet.But the comptroller's report showed that not all the participants in
these discussions were thrilled about how they were handled. In fact, some of
those who participated in discussions over the Mavi Marmara – like Strategic
Affairs Minister Moshe Ya'alon, for instance – were less than impressed by their
scope and depth, and instead complained to the comptroller that these meetings
were not exhaustive at all.The report that Lindenstrauss released
Wednesday – dealing with the implementation (or lack of implementation) of the
2008 National Security Council Act that established the National Security
Council; the decision-making process that preceded the boarding of the Mavi
Marmara; and the public diplomacy handling of the incident – is not an easy
read, and not only because it extends over 153 pages of dry, repetitive,
bureaucratic prose.It is an uncomfortable read because, as the nation
sits on the cusp of critical decisions that will need to be taken regarding
Iran, this report paints a picture of a national security and foreign policy
apparatus very much in the grips of the defense establishment, where preparatory
work is not properly carried out, where orderly meetings are not conducted on a
regular basis, and where information is compartmentalized and concentrated –
again – in the hands of the defense establishment.Have you ever heard of
Yohanan Locker? You should have, because if the comptroller is correct, this man
– who serves as Netanyahu's military liaison – is one of the most influential
men in the country.Despite the National Security Council Act of 2008
that legislated that the head of the National Security Council would be the
prime minister's chief national security adviser, in practice it is the military
liaison.The problem with this arrangement is twofold. First because the
military liaison does not have the proper staff or expertise to coordinate the
prime minister's meetings on national security issues, and secondly because he
is part of the defense establishment. If the military liaison is the one
preparing key national security meetings, raising the issues to be brought to
those meetings and both providing the intelligence information and determining
who can see it, then one perspective has a leg up on all the competition – that
of the defense establishment.This arrangement, Lindenstrauss concluded
in his report, is not healthy, and in fact runs contrary to the National
Security Council law. Yet Netanyahu, he said, has not stepped in and foisted the
National Security Council on the decision-making process, as he should have
done.Netanyahu's response to this, as contained in the 200-word response
on this matter issued by his office, was simple: The proof is in the pudding,
and the pudding – at least the security aspect of the pudding – tastes
good.Except that when it came to the Mavi Marmara, the pudding was not
good; It was bitter indeed.To which the PMO replied that the Mavi
Marmara was a different case, and that even the comptroller himself had written
in the report that he was not convinced that had the decision-making process
been different leading up to the May 2010 flotilla, the results would have been
different.In other words, the PMO is saying that even had they followed
all the rules and regulations laid down in the National Security Council act of
2008, which regulates the bureaucratic processes that needs to go into making
weighty decisions, there was no guarantee that the results would have been any
different.While that indeed may be true, it misses a key point that the
comptroller was stressing: process, method and procedure are
vital.High-quality process, proper procedure and good method in
decision-making do not guarantee success, but they may increase the chances of
success and limit the probability of failure. Of course results are important,
but good process leads to a greater likelihood of good results.And what
Lindenstrauss pointed out was that the process before the Mavi Marmara was
faulty.True, that's is not why nine Turks who clashed with IDF
soldiers on a ship hell-bent on provoking Israel and bashing the
blockade of
Gaza were killed in May 2010 and that's not why key strategic relations
Turkey have gone down the drain. But a better decisionmaking process –
everyone into the picture together and in an orderly, systematic fashion
– might
have enabled Israel to deal with the flotilla better.And, as
Lindenstrauss pointed out, the flotilla is a metaphor; a metaphor for a type of
decision-making process that, while improving, is not what it should be –
especially considering the life-and-death decisions that those at the top of
Israel's pyramid are entrusted to make.One central theme emerged
throughout the report: process matters, because process shapes
substance.If you plan as necessary, and in this case as determined by
the National Security Council law of 2008; if you involve everyone who has to
contribute; if you do the necessary staff work that includes objectively
comparing and evaluating all the options; if you are systematic in preparatory
work that goes into high-level meetings; if you work on an inter-agency level;
if the staff-work is done by the best and the brightest and the product produced
is rigorous and exhaustive; then the likelihood of error because of insufficient
planning, or not taking something into consideration, is
lessened.Procedure can't guarantee success, but – at least according to
the comptroller – it is a necessary condition for it. Proper process is not
sufficient for success and ultimately resolves on the wisdom of those who make
the decisions and implement them, but proper procedure can ensure that the
leaders are equipped with everything they need when approaching those
decisions.And that, Lindenstrauss made clear, was not the case in the
run-up to the Mavi Marmara, and it is systemically not the case at the highest
level.Wednesday's report did not come in a vacuum.Indeed, it
should be seen as an extension of various committees of inquiry and comptroller
documents stretching back numerous years.One of the frustrating things
about reading the report was that it contained so many echoes of the Winograd
Commission report from 2008 that criticized the decision-making process in the
run-up to and during the Second Lebanon War, and the subsequent Lipkin-Shahak
committee report that was mandated with providing recommendations for
implementing the Winograd Commission findings. One of the Lipkin-Shahak
committee's key recommendations was to strengthen the National Security
Council.To say that nothing has changed would be unfair. Things have
changed. For instance, the National Security Council, the body now empowered by
law with being the prime minister's main advisory body on national security
issues, is much more active than it was during the Second Lebanon War, or when
Netanyahu and his then-foreign policy adviser Uzi Arad pushed the idea in
1999.Indeed, Arad – who was fired from his position as head of the
National Security Council in 2011 amid allegations that he leaked sensitive
information – has reason today to feel doubly vindicated.His first
vindication, a personal one, came in March, when then-deputy attorney-general
Raz Nizri said in a Knesset committee meeting that Arad had not leaked sensitive
material.And his second vindication, a professional one, came with
Wednesday's publication of the comptroller's report, since his twoyear tenure
inside the PMO was marked by a fierce turf battle with the prime minister's
military liaison. The comptroller sided with Arad, saying with no equivocation
that the National Security Council, not the military liaison, is the prime
foreign policy advisory body inside the PMO and should be the body in charge of
coordinating, preparing and taking part in the key meetings on national security
issues.For years that was not the case; for years the defense
establishment held sway, and it is only natural that it will not relinquish that
prerogative readily. Nevertheless, Lindenstrauss concluded that it must do so
for the sake of proper procedure and process.And if it does not do so
willingly, he wrote, then the prime minister must force it to do
so.Otherwise? Well, otherwise – as Lindenstrauss wrote in a phrase that
summed up his whole report – "the flotilla is a metaphor."

When people share their stories with me and a recurring theme emerges, I ask: If we look at this story a different way, why are you consistently attracted to and involved with partners who pretty much need to spontaneously combust into another person with a different set of values and habits in order to make you happy?
Many people believe that if a person loves you, they'll change and make you the exception to their rule of behaviour and when this doesn't happen, they personalise it and blame their worth. Why is our happiness and sense of purpose tied up in whether we can get somebody to make us the exception to their rule of behaviour?
'I Can Change Him/Her' syndrome is a habit of engaging in relationships that are fixer uppers. Like property, it's where you take on a partner due to what you regard as their potential due to the return on investment you'll make from renovating, redesigning, or even stripping them right back and raising them from the ground up.
Someone with an I Can Change Him/Her habit of thinking and behaviour believes that the love and relationship is valuable if they have to work hard for or even fight for it and ultimately be made the exception. This is a key reason why people get involved with unavailable partners especially the heavy duty commitment dodger and assclown versions. When the person blows hot or throws crumbs, it feels like more than the loaf that could be gotten from an available partner.

When we're afraid of letting ourselves or others 'off the hook'
By Natalie (NML) On October 15, 2014 · 159 Comments
Being let off the hook is about being released out of what could be an unpleasant or at the very least difficult situation, or being released out of something that we don't want to do. When we feel that we or someone is on the hook for something, it's fundamentally tied to a sense of obligation, after all, if we didn't feel that we or they were duty bound to do something, we'd opt out without fanfare. The decision to step away wouldn't be laden with such turbulent emotions and even a fear of appearing forgiving.
Two scenarios in life are likely to hold on tight to the negativity even if it's near killing us to do so:
#1 We do something that affects us in such a major way that we feel that it's too big to let go. We feel so angry and even ashamed about where we feel that we've erred that we relive it and critique ourselves for it as often as needed, just in case we forget and eff up all over again. Our inner critic berates and punishes us under the misguided impression that we will be prevented from whatever it fears for us. It then becomes that we won't be self-compassionate and forgive ourselves because we think that we're taking the easy way out. We feel that we haven't served a long enough sentence.
#2 Somebody burns us and we feel so angry, hurt, and sad, that it becomes our purpose and security blanket. We either chase them for their remorse debt like a bailiff or we make it our vocation to change this person or to prove ourselves worthy of their better selves because not doing so has us afraid that 1) we'll look like a fool and that 2) we'll be making life too easy for them. We then feel obliged to pursue this person for what we feel is a suitable response because otherwise, we then feel that we've failed in our obligation to ourselves. Unfortunately, trying to make sure that they stay on the hook can cost us our dignity because we often end up saying and doing things that we later come to regard as at best embarrassing and at worst, humiliating.
We are creatures of habit and have to pay close attention to where there are running themes in our lives because it points to where we are not only repeating a pattern of thinking and behaviour but that we're doing so because we're getting something out of it.
A recurring theme that some Fallback Girls/Guys experience in unavailable relationships is being the person who lends a willing ear, a shoulder to lean on, and even a bed to lie in for people who are having doubts about their current relationship, who want to have a bitch and a gripe about their partners, and who essentially want to avoid their problems by enjoying the attentions of an interested but nonetheless inappropriate party. It may be that you have the label of 'friend' but tend to be disruptive in this person's relationships, believing that you have the right to do so because you're friends and that anybody who doesn't understand this and hold back comment about it mustn't be right for this person. You may feel quite territorial about the friendship and struggle to step back. You'll let them know that you'll be there when not if something goes wrong.
It's very possible that you're either an ex or that at one point you expressed interest or even slept together but then for whatever reason something didn't happen and you've instead ensured that you're a fixture in their life and can keep an eye on what's going on. While you might be open about this, it's very possible that you have buried your feelings and so are not even aware of how your (and their) behaviour plays out. It's also very possible that you keep in touch with this person behind their partner's back. Note: If it's a secret, it's inappropriate.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're a Buffer - someone who takes up an emotional airbag role with a view that once you've shown how indispensable and supportive you are, they will get over their ex and choose you. Buffer means rebound relationship territory. You have The Replacement Mentality so you tend to see your way into involvements as you effectively replacing somebody who couldn't do their 'job' properly.
Tagged with: Are they over their ex? • Rebound Relationships
Any toxic relationship that I've been involved in, has always kept going due to me essentially cherry-picking what I wanted to remember about the person and the relationship whether romantic or otherwise. While I did spend most of my life feeling wounded by my father's absence and the sporadic periods or even moments spent with him, what I mostly remembered was how I felt around him and the happy times, which of course there were some but I'd admittedly romanticised the hell out of them. I'd selectively remember spending visitations with him and how thrilled I always was to see him, but I'd conveniently forget how we used to sit on the side of a cricket pitch or in some pub and how I'd have to pretend that I didn't want to spend real quality time with him. I wanted to be involved instead of being an observer or accessory.
I was a sucker for a returning Mr Unavailable. Suddenly my resentment, hurt, frustration and all of the things that I'd identified as being unhealthy or unsuited to me were forgotten and instead I'd press the Reset Button and be back to the time before they first started showing signs of who they were and what was to come. Each time one particular ex that I dated on and off for four years and saw a handful of times a year phoned (this started around 96/97 so it was all landlines and radio silence in between), I only remembered possibilities, how I wanted to feel, and what I perceived as his good points – tall, made me laugh, good looking, clever, smelled of Polo Sport, good kisser. It clearly didn't take much! What I didn't remember – he vanished after each date despite making out that we were imminently seeing each other again, he was ridiculously ambiguous, sometimes pretentious, talked a lot and mostly about himself, and he did a couple of really disingenuous things that communicated that he wasn't to be confided in.
I also returned to a highly toxic relationship that left me anxious, unable to sleep, and questioning everything about me right down to my race and I've given out more chances to other exes because basically I'd forget the downside of being with and around them.
Even if we focus on a person's good points, we will always deal with the consequences of them coming as a full package.
And this is ultimately where anyone who has ever tried to remain with or get back together with somebody for the 'good points' ends up feeling the pain: They remain or go back because they're blinded to the whole package due to wanting to reap the benefits of those points. They represent potential and seeing the person as a whole represents disappointment. They wish they could extract these points and multiply them into being full-time, but this all ends up happening at an increasing real-time, full package cost that isn't worth it.
Picture this (adopts Sophia from Golden Girls voice): You meet somebody on a dating website (read: introduction website after all, you can't actually 'date' on it), you exchange a few emails and texts, maybe you chat on the phone a few times and then you meet up, hopefully within the first week or two because beyond that you get into building sandcastles in the sky territory. Between reading their profile, viewing any photos and these initial exchanges, you glean information about that person but at some point, maybe when you meet up, it comes to light that this person hasn't been truthful and you feel uncomfortable.
- Maybe they lied about their age. Some people knock off decades, some people knock off a year or two. It can seem harmless but it more often than not rings alarm bells.
- Maybe they lied about their identity because they claim to be scared of "fake people showing up at their door". The irony of course is that the person is then faking aspects of themselves to prevent fakes. O-K…
- Maybe the picture is a misrepresentation because it's very old or not even them at all. It then looks like they're living in the past or flat out living a lie. It all gets a bit Catfish-y.
- Maybe they've lied about their qualifications or what type of job they do, where they live or something. This can seem harmless until it becomes apparent that it's representative of either a double life and/or their perennial need to exaggerate themselves in some way.
Whatever the lie is and whether they regard the lie as big or small, when it comes to light, it tends to create an awkwardness at best and at worst, a sense of deep confusion and even being defrauded.
