It's almost the end of Autism Awareness Month, and what have I done?
I want people to understand my son and all the kids like him. But when people ask me questions, suddenly I'm the one with communication and social problems.
"What should I tell my son when he asks why your son doesn't have to sing O Canada?" another mother asked one day a few years ago. We'd run into each other in the change room of our fitness club. I clutched the white towel closer to my chest and opened my mouth. Nothing came out.
She continued: "I told him some children are slower than others." Here she looked at me sheepishly. "But my son said, 'No way, Mom. Thomas is not slow. You should see him do tricky math!' "
As we laughed, I lowered my defences. We talked about Thomas's sensitivity to noise, how brassy music blaring over the loudspeaker and the voices of 20 classmates, not all in perfect harmony, had sent him into hysterics the first day of senior kindergarten in a new school. How we were letting him stand in the hall and would slowly move him back into the classroom.
I described serenading him with our national anthem each night while he was in the tub. Without making a big deal about it, of course. That would trigger his anxiety and make it impossible for him to learn the lyrics.
For a moment we shared a tiny piece of what it's like to have a child on the autism spectrum, where the simplest thing can be difficult. And I saw that she understood.
Too often, when we're out in the world and something's gone off the rails, I can't turn to strangers around us and explain: What you're seeing is not the whole story. But I feel the looks. And I think, If only you knew. Where we've come from. And how hard it's been to get here.
Picture this: A mother crouches on the sidewalk beside her distraught son. He's screaming, "I can't have you in my life" at the top of his lungs. Other parents hold their children's hands tighter and walk past, staring straight ahead. Mom seems calmer than the situation warrants. "Your voice is at a five," she says. "It's hurting my ears. Let's take it down to a three." The boy bats her on the arm. "I can't have you in my life!" he yells again.
Please don't think badly of these two. It's just my son and me with our autism showing. One morning, he decided he wanted to walk to school by himself. The day before he had watched a movie with his older sister Emily in which a rebellious teenager told her parents, "I can't have you in my life." Thomas's brain never, ever forgets a scene from a movie. So his thorough, but non-traditional, filing system retrieved this phrase to communicate today's desire for independence.
But I didn't know all that yet. "Try to say it another way," I begged, folding him in a deep hug to calm him and keep him from running into the street. "Try to say it another way." Slowly we found the words to understand each other.
"Say it another way. Show him. Give it a number." This is the advice I share with the people in our lives. I translate convoluted instructions into simple, concrete words. Draw stick figures on scraps of paper. Thomas manages well when he knows what's expected of him, and falls apart when the world makes no sense. We teach him to talk through the things that make him nervous. "Five rows of six questions," he whispers, pulling out his homework. "I can do that."
I learn to love incremental change. To realize we are all making progress. Last time we visited my parents I watched my father prepare to take Thomas to the store. He took a yellow sticky note and wrote a number on it. "This is how much money you can spend on a toy. Okay?" Way to go, Grandpa! I thought as I watched them head out, Thomas clutching the piece of paper in his hand. One potential meltdown avoided.
One night, as we struggled through a reading passage, I sighed. Thomas slammed a hand on the table. "You want to scrap me!" he said. After all our years of watching train videos, I immediately got the reference. I shook my head. No way. "How can you want to scrap me, your own son?" he asked, with a hint of a smile.
I was beginning to clue in that he was pushing my buttons when from the living room we heard Emily laugh. "Who would want to scrap a human being?" she asked. We shrugged our shoulders and got back to work.
I remind myself that children on the autism spectrum grow up. I read Temple Grandin's books. Listen to Matt Savage play jazz. Watch Clay Marzo surf. They've all found their place.
My favourite blogger, Mom - Not Otherwise Specified, recently wrote about a visit to her son's classroom to answer the children's top 10 questions about autism. "Why does Bud say the same things over and over?" "Why does Bud run in circles?" My personal favourite: "How can I be a better friend to Bud?" Now there's a mother who's making a difference.
Here it is Autism Awareness Month. What have I done? Finally it hits me. This is the way it has to start. In one classroom. With one grandparent. In the change room, with two women realizing they are both just trying their best. Maybe, with a story.
Next time you see a mother and son creating a scene on the sidewalk, an understanding smile would make my day.

With the launch of the PS4 a little over a month away, gamers are gearing up to make the leap into the next-gen, and ready to discover all the fancy new features Sony's console will offer. However, it isn't all good news as far as the PS4's feature set is concerned, as we have just learned the console will not support one somewhat important peripheral.
Despite several improvements over its predecessor — namely a better controller, support for gameplay capture through HDMI, and free automatic downloads — one feature that came standard with the PS3 will not make the jump to the PS4: Bluetooth headsets. In fact, most chat headsets won't work with the PS4, at least not at launch.
Game Informer first caught wind of this news when talking to Astro Gaming about next-gen peripherals, where they discovered that the company's headsets would not work with the PS4 right away. And after some additional prodding, the publication discovered that the PS4 will not support any third party headsets that use Bluetooth for connection.
The next-gen console will, however, support Sony's Pulse Headset, but, again, not at launch. Sony is busy working on an update that will patch that support in.
As well, they are working on an update that will patch support for USB chat headsets into the PS4. Yes, USB headsets will not work for chat right out of the box. Something like a Turtle Beach gaming headset, which uses digital optical for game audio, will work, but not for chatting.
Without support for a USB or Bluetooth headsets at launch, that leaves players with one chat option: the mono headset that comes bundled with the PS4. While we don't doubt that headset gets the job done, there are likely plenty of gamers who would prefer to use their expensive third party peripherals. But, unfortunately, they can't.
This news comes as somewhat of a shock to us, as this is the first we are hearing about the lack of Bluetooth support at launch. Apparently, like with the Xbox One, Sony is looking to change how chat headsets work with their console, and as a result have alienated a ton of previously released products.
Of course, this doesn't mean Sony can't patch in support for Bluetooth headsets later, but that does leave some multiplayer gamers at a disadvantage at launch. We will have to wait to see how Sony responds in the coming weeks.
Are you surprised to learn the PS4 will not support Bluetooth or USB headsets at launch? Do you think that Sony is dropping the ball by not including support for chat?
The PS4 releases November 15, 2013.

I have a crazy love affair with hair products. That's with everything else that I say (I know), but this month I am deeply obsessed with hair products and fragrances. I forward plan my evenings where I go through a deep hair cleansing routine to remove all the product build up, then slap on a good quality hair mask while reading a trashy magazine or paint my nails. Ditsy bimbo time. I love it. And, I do this twice a week.
I rotate around 4-5 hair masks. Here's my thoughts on each.
Lush H'Swan Wen Hua
For dry hair
A dry hair treatment mask, best applied directly on dry hair prior to shampoo. It smells lovely, almost herbal-like. At first it smells weird, but the lingering scent on your tresses does grow on you. My hair feels significantly softer, only after hairdrying. It doesn't have the silky silicone-like texture under the shower, unlike most conditioners and hair masks. The negative would be that this hair mask results in alot of product wastage, especially as it needs to be applied to dry hair.
Great for dry hair, but Lush H'Swan Wen Hua will not save your damaged ends.
Kerastase Masquintense 3
Impossible to not touch your hair after this
Coming across the Kerastase hair product range has been the best ever investment made to my hair. Not only has it saved it from being brutally damaged (and can only be repaired by the dreaded hairdresser crop), but it really is value for money. Just the smallest amount of product is enough to make your hair feel so much softer, silkier and smoother. Kerastase Masquintense comes in 3 types - fine, normal and thick damaged hair. I went with #3. I will always and continue to repurchase this, it is just simply a delight to use.
Best for hair that is damaged, dry, rebellious, coarse, and for that party night where you intend to flip your hair like a Sunsilk advertisement.
Fekkai Technician Color Care 3-Minute Mask
Coconutty goodness for colored hair
Fekkai's Tehnician Color Care range smells like divine coconut. I'm a huge fan of their conditioners (not the shampoos), because they give a nice 'luster' and softness to the hair. It's expensive for the tub, with prices equivalent to Kerastase. I find that this hair mask is somewhat 'cosmetic' and the dryness is apparent on my hair ends after the 2nd day of wash.
Good for colored hair, but qute gimmicky in my opinion. You're better off using something that targets dry and sensitised hair.
Phyto Phytojoba Intense Hydrating Mask
Phyto Phytojoba Intense Hydrating Mask
A darling for dry, damaged and coarse hair
Phyto phytojoba mask time is always a refreshing and pampering session for me. My hair has generally loved Phyto products, and this one product has made it to the 'repurchased' list! That said, this mask has changed my entire view on hair products; where I used to believe that Garnier, L'oreal, Sunsilk were sufficiently good for the hair. But no... Phyto introduced me to the world of gentle natural hair products. And I used to believe that natural ingredients were generally not as effective than synthetic ones. Phyto proved me wrong.
Asians with dry, course and rebellious hair will love this! You can often get this darling for decent savings at Watsons or Robinsons.
Joico K-Pak Reconstruct Deep Penetrating Reconstructor
Joico K-Pak Reconstruct Deep Penetrating Reconstructor
Repairs your hair strands from within
Joico's K-Pak range is intentionally targetted to those who are chemical processing junkies - perms, colorings, etc. This particular reconstructing treatment has the highest concentration of protein, giving your hair strands the needed boost to build amino acids from within. It does sound quite gimmicky at first, but it has done wonders to improve the texture of my hair. I went through a period of my hair strands snapping off, but now I can see that there's a good deal of elasticity (often representative of healthy hair) after several applications of K-Pak Reconstructor.
Do note that if you use too much of protein treatments, your hair may end up feeling dry. So I only use this hair mask once a week at most, and often followed by conditioner.
Do you use hair masks? If so, what type and how often?

This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a friendly country that has been, and continues to be, an important force for political stability and economic progress in East Asia.
The Royal Malaysian Air Force is modernizing its fighter aircraft to better support its own air defense needs. The proposed sale of AIM-9X-2 missiles will enhance Malaysia's interoperability with the U.S. and among other South East Asian nations, making it a more valuable partner in an increasingly important area of the world.
The proposed sale of this weapon system will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

Green means go, and in the case of the Tesla Roadster, green means go! That's because the little sports car has the advantage of instant torque that all-electric power provides: It rockets from 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds. How quick is that? It's the equal of a 505-horsepower Corvette Z06 and faster than many performance cars — all without the tailpipe emissions.
"It's guilt-free fun," said Tesla sales adviser Neil Joseph, who, on a recent weekday, parked the little sports car in front of the Museum of Fine Arts in downtown St. Petersburg. It was there that its eye-catching appearance — imagine the progeny of a Lotus and a Ferrari — had pedestrians reaching for their cameras and even stopped a few motorists.
"There's always a sports-car market, even during a down economy," Joseph said of the Roadster's appeal. "It sends a different message than a classic sports car — you're happy to support the future of energy consumption."
The Roadster, which has a carbon-fiber body, is both a production vehicle and technology showcase for Tesla Motors, a California company founded in 2003 with the goal of demonstrating that electric cars need not be pedestrian in design or performance. (On the horizon: a luxury sedan in 2012.) The Roadster is powered by a lithium-ion battery pack that gives it a range of 245 miles on a full charge, Joseph said. The car can be plugged into conventional 110- and 220-volt outlets and it comes with a power connector. (Tesla recommends buying one of two more powerful connectors — $1,500 to $1,950 — to cut charging times to as little as four hours.)
Tesla's other goal: be a producer of powertrains. It already has forged alliances with Toyota (for an electric RAV4) and Daimler (for a Smart electric car).
But all that technology doesn't come cheaply: The Roadster's price starts at $109,000.
"It's really gone from early adopters to people who say, 'I'm looking at the Porsche, Audi and the Tesla,' " Joseph said of potential buyers.
One of the early adopters was Greg Sembler, a fan of electric cars who owns a Toyota Prius that he has converted to a plug-in hybrid.
"I love it," the St. Petersburg developer says of his first-generation Roadster. "I frustrate a lot of Porsches and Vettes out there (from 0 to 60 mph).
"I really think electric cars are the future."
Joseph said Tampa Bay may be an important part of that future. The company owns its retail and service network and has 13 "Tesla Stores" worldwide; Joseph said the company eventually would like to have one here. For now, the closest store is in Miami. For service, the company will send a "Tesla Ranger" mobile service technician to owners.
Joseph will be based in Tampa for the next several months doing sales and market development. The first Roadsters were delivered in 2008, and according to Tesla, there are more than 1,300 on the road worldwide; about 15 are in the bay area.
Ultimately, Tesla's goal is bigger than being a niche automaker.
"Overall," Joseph said, "we want to be a luxury brand like BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, with a similar range of cars."
For more information, call Neil Joseph at (941) 681-0198 or go to teslamotors.com.

The season ended like nobody wanted it to, no playoff berth, and no number one draft pick, but with the 11th pick in the NBA draft the Denver Nuggets have many things to consider. One of them would be to trade out of that spot.
The draft is always fun to watch, and the one thing that people tune in to see is who their team will pick up. So saying that a team should trade that is sort of a sin, but there are several reasons for a trade out of the first round. Denver is about two deep at every position, it didn't seem like it last season because of all the injuries last season, but they are solid on their bench. There is Nate Robinson behind Ty Lawson, Gallinari and Chandler were hurt last season, and Javale McGee played all of five games. The returning lineup is one that will be able to play into the playoffs if they can perform like they were pre injury. Plus, the salary cap leaves little room for the Nuggets to maneuver this offseason. Because of this, I think the Nuggets should try to unload one of its big contracts along with the number 11 pick while trying to get an established player. This will free up some cap space as well as give them a solid veteran.
It's always risky trading a pick, maybe that guy they would have picked up was the next Jordan, but sometimes it's just worth the risk. It's not flashy, and most of the time fans get upset, but it's setting the team up for the future. And there are teams out there looking for a trade. One of which I would be the Detroit Pistons.
The Pistons lost their first round pick, and have some money that the can spend in the offseason. They are on the hunt for a wing player to help Kyle Singler, so an offer of Gallinari, Fournier, and the draft pick might be interesting for them. The Nuggets would get their 38th pick, 1st round pick next season, and Rodney Stuckey. I'm not sure about how this trade would go over in Detroit, but they would be getting two guys who have shown that they can shoot, as well as the pick they want. With Galo being traded, the Nuggets have about $23 million over the next two years while making room for Faried to get his contract he deserves as well as being able to bring in another strong player.
Another option would be to help out Portland, since they don't have a single pick in this year's draft. A trade with the Blazers could consist of the 11th pick and Wilson Chandler for Wesley Mathews and a future pick. Mathews is a good defender and can make the three, something that fits the Nuggets needs, as well as getting a bigger contract in Wilson Chandler off their plate.
We'll see what unfolds once June 26th arrives.

PBS NewsHour is the long running news magazine broadcast every weeknight on PBS. The show was created by veteran newsmen Robert MacNeil & Jim Lehrer, and has been on the airsince 1975. In 2009, the show, previously known as The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer, became PBS NewsHour. One of the major differences between network news and the PBS NewsHour is that because the show is publicly funded, there are no commercials. This allows the NewsHour to dedicate more time to comprehensive reporting. The nightly broadcast features a two-anchor format, with a rotation of NEWSHOUR senior correspondents Gwen Ifill, Judy Woodruff and Jeffrey Brown. Senior correspondents Margaret Warner and Ray Suarez deliver compelling original reporting & newsmaker interviews from the field. Correspondent Hari Sreenivasan delivers news to the digital world and anchors the news summary on the television broadcasts.

Rep. Ray Sansom charged 'private' meeting to Republican Party American Express
Ray Sansom charged a $597 "private" dinner with the Northwest Florida State College trustees and president Bob Richburg to his RPOF-issued credit card, records show.
The meeting played a role in the grand jury investigation of Sansom's dealings with the college. Richburg worked behind the scenes with Sansom on legislation creating a state college system and then proposed a meeting in Tallahassee with the trustees. "That would be great!!" Sansom replied. "We can get a private room on the 6th floor at FSU."
The meeting raised Sunshine Law violation questions but state attorney Willie Meggs ultimately did not seek charges. Sansom and the college said it was a "legislative briefing" and pointed to a meeting notice placed in a newspaper back in the Panhandle.
Records show that Sansom and his guests dined on walnut and baguette crusted grouper and Delmonico steak with Tillamook cheddar & chive whipped potatoes. They had creme brulee and drank three bottles of wine.
Final bill: $597.02.
RPOF Chairman Jim Greer said he did not know about the charge but accepts responsibility for "any and all" charges.
But Greer said that in late 2008 and early 2009, he revamped regulations on who could use a party credit card. Asked if that included Sansom, he replied, "There were some cards in the latter part of 2008 that I discounted the ability to charge on."
Greer said the new policy requires an official to determine if an event would have any value to the party. He said he did not think the dinner would have passed that test.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
I am a single straight female and I was browsing ads of straight men in my city on a dating website. I came across the ad of a guy who looked familiar, and I recognized him as this guy I saw at a social group dineout at a restaurant about three years ago, but whom I did not feel any attraction at the time. Well, this time I did feel an attraction. He had a link to his meetup profile on the website (which I think is weird that the dating website would allow linking offsite, but that's a whole other issue). Anywho, I visit his profile, and it looks like he has signed up to go to a dineout for a different group he belongs to (a meetup for studiers and speakers of his mother tongue, which is not my mother tongue). I sign up so I can take a better look at this guy, because I didn't sit at the same table as him 3 years ago (so I didn't get to observe him enough to make a judgement about his dateability 3 years ago, but I did think it was possible he had Asperger's at the time). I wanted to see if he'd be the type of guy I'd like, since I wouldn't want to go on a date with a guy who ended up being a total Asperger's case or who was obnoxious (I'd like to save myself the awkwardness, not to mention save wasting time on a bad date). I watched his body language very carefully at this year's dineout, and he seemed non-Asperger's.
In his dating profile he states that the maximum age of a woman he'd accept is the age I currently was when I attended the mother tongue meetup, but I knew that my birthday was coming up in about three weeks, so that I should send him a PM (private message) soon. But, I wanted to do as much reading of nonfiction books about how to increase his receptivity as possible, so I vowed to myself to send him a PM on the night before my birthday. So I originally send him a long letter, but then I think about how I read that it decreases targets' receptivity to spill one's guts at the beginning, so I then decided to shorten it to only a couple sentences. I started writing my letter at about 11pm on the day before my birthday, and then on the extremely early morning of my birthday, I click the "send" button at a little after 1am. I think this is somewhat misleading, because while it's true that when I typed the words "I'm 35" it was still the day before my birthday, whe I clicked the "send" button, it was my birthday, and therefore 36 (I'm not 36 by the way; I'm just trying to maintain my privacy). I also rationalized it by saying that since I was born around 9am, and I sent it at 1am, I was still 35 by that standard, and would not turn 36 until about 8 hours. Anyway, I notice that the guy had logged in to his meetup mother tongue group at around noon on Saturday, yet I didn't receive a response from him until around 4pm on Sunday! He invited me to a soccer game. I don't even know how to play soccer; I just wrote in my PM that he should let me know if he ever wants to chase around a soccer ball with me, because I need the exercise (I'm slightly chubby). I decide to check his personal ad on that dating website to see if he had logged in, since the last time he logged in was about 3 months ago. Lo and behold, the website said that he had last logged in a little before 4pm on Sunday! So, I think he must have seen my personal ad BEFORE he replied to my PM on the meetup site. I am pretty sure he must have seen my ad since I looked at the list of users that viewed me, and there he was, the most recent viewer of my profile (I had never seen him in my "viewed me" list before; this was the first time I saw him there). This has me concerned, because I did not want him to see my personal ad on the dating website. I had purchased a feature from the dating website that allows users to browse other's profiles invisibly, but I guess this wouldn't have prevented him from seeing the time I viewed his ad BEFORE I made the purchase (I'm guessing it only makes the viewings I make AFTER the purchase invisible). I am concerned that he now thinks I am not long-term relationship/girlfriend material because I am untrustworthy. I am not upfront with who I am; I was/am trying to hide something from him, because on my ad I wrote that I was an ethnic race I clearly am not, and that I live in a city I clearly don't live in (at least currently). (I lied about these two things because I thought it would decrease the chance that he would click on my ad). I suppose most sociobiologists would say that the reason why guys don't want to date gals who willingly lie to them is because it means they could lie about sleeping around with other men and therefore are being cuckolded. I deleted the body of my profile, but I stupidly neglected to delete my answers to the tests and how my personality rates against other members of the dating website. I believe that if he had clicked on those two sections, he would be able to tell it is me, because in the tests section, it shows my results on the Myers-Briggs test and religious orientation test, and I had written in my PM to him what my religion is and what my Myers-Briggs personality type is (it's a four-letter acronym, and there are only 16 possibilities, in case you are unfamiliar with the Myers-Briggs). My tests page on my dating website profile also referenced the name of a language I am proficient in, which I mentioned at his mother tongue meetup. So, I think that he would be able to figure out that the profile belongs to me, even though the introductory page of my profile says that I am a woman of a different ethnic race living in a different city! So, I hid my ad (I didn't permanently delete it, but I just "disabled"/"temporarily deleted" it) so that he wouldn't be able to look at it again, just in case he didn't save a copy of my ad the first time he looked at it to his computer's hard drive (or print it out, or take a photo of it with a camera, etc.). In case you are wondering, the reason why I didn't want him to see my ad is because I was worried that he might reject me prematurely due to something he might read on there; like reject me for a flimsy, frivolous reason. I have read in non-fiction books that it is best not to reveal too much about yourself early in a dating relationship for just this reason. I also suspect that this guy may have a fear of intimacy, and I read that sometimes people with a fear of intimacy can be too picky, and dismiss potential suitors for such minor reasons as eating their peas one at a time instead of shovelling a spoonful in their mouth, or whatever other ridiculous reason that most people wouldn't consider a dealbreaker. I noticed that he logged in again on Tuesday – this is the last day he logged in (so I think he logged in on Sunday, then Monday, then Tuesday?) I think the reason he stopped logging in after Tuesday is because he noticed that I disabled/hid my ad. So, since he can no longer see my ad, there is no point in him trying to look at it, right? I am wondering if he might be very suspicious of me and think I've got something to hide. How can I explain this to him? I asked a psychologist face-to-face a couple days ago, and she told me that the best thing to do would be to just tell him the truth – that I think he might have a fear of intimacy/commitment and that he might be inclined to dismiss me before giving me a chance, and so a way to prevent that would be for me to give him as little info about myself as possible. I asked her if I should bring it up to him that he himself is willing to lie – the surname he has on his social network site is not his real surname, and the dates which he uploaded his photos on his dating website profile are 4 years old, even though he had logged in to his dating profile in April of 2013. She told me that I should not mention this to him, since it is like "tit for tat", and it could just escalate an argument.
I also asked this psychologist what she thinks of me just being a spectator at the soccer meetup he invited me to, instead of participating, since I am unfamiliar with the rules (there are so many! Like 17!) and I don't want to end up looking very incompetent and like I have a low IQ. I suspect most sociobiologists would say that mothers who have high IQs are better at raising children. I have read that men don't care much about IQ for one-night-stands, but they do care about IQ when selecting long-term mates, like wives. On his personal ad page he wrote that he thinks intelligence can turn him on a lot, so I think he likes smart women. I told this psychologist that I am probably going to be the only female at this soccer game, and that I will end up looking like the most useless player, but she said that she thinks it would be more of a turn-off if I sat out and just watched as a spectator on the sidelines. Is this true? Which is worse? Me just watching from afar, (and thus him thinking I'm some lazy gal who will never get thin – he wrote on his personal ad site that he prefers average-sized women to thin-women and large-women, but he also wrote that while being obese was a dealbreaker, being slightly overweight was not a dealbreaker. So maybe he'd be willing to date a somewhat overweight gal, but he'd still prefer a slimmer gal?). The reason why I suggested to chase a soccer ball is because I was worried he might have been thinking, "Oh, this girl probably is unwilling to do any exercise, and she is always going to be the same weight she was at the mother tongue dineout". I wanted him to think that I would be willing to tag along with him when he goes exercising, which he does a lot. I also have read in a non-fiction book that sports are a good date if you want a man to become interested in you, because it gets his heart rate up, and there is a transfer of excitation that can occur (ie. He thinks that the reason his heart is beating so fast is because he is attracted to you, when really it is because he is playing sports, or on a rickety swaying bridge, or watching a scary movie. This is one of the most famous experiments in psychology.). He also loves soccer, and therefore since I'm there, he'd associate his positive feelings with me.
So, I guess my questions are:
-should I play or be a spectator?
-when should l email to explain? Or do you disagree with my psychologist's advice?
You've certainly done a lot of homework about catching a mate. I chose the author of the wobbly bridge doctoral dissertation for the doctoral committee on my second doctorate in 1991 when I met him and his wife (who authored "The Highly Sensitive Person" that sounds like you might be, along with myself and my wife) though I had seen him (Art Aron) in a dream 22 months before.
I think angling to manage conditions during your upcoming meeting is 1. possible and 2. quite risky, because you'll get the whole person in your net no matter what you do, and if you provide a false impression of yourself you may engender false expectations and end up with a relationship fundamentally flawed because you interfered with the natural conditions that would enable your target-male to size you up with the same level of natural abilities as you've sized him up.
With that said, if you try to play in the soccer meetup (I don't know what's supposed to happen, but you seem to be saying that you're all going to run around kicking a ball together), and you look embarrassingly clueless and full of mistakes, his excitement emotions are not the only emotions that could get transferred onto you. [The massive problem of Aron's research and all the mainstream psychological research into attraction is that they don't approach with a paradigm of 8 to 10 discrete basic emotions, and excitement and enjoyment are not the only possibilities your target-male could have.] If something you do or don't do is embarrassingly stupid (from the point of view of a soccer afficionado), then your shame-affect (embarrassment) is likely to get intensified, and he would experience reflected shame himself, and either want to get away from you and blame you for being such a klutz and sticking your female self in where you don't belong, or, if you're really lucky, feel responsible for you (with some self-blame, deserved or not, for getting you involved) and wade into the awkward situation to "save" you with his own soccer prowess OR caretaker skills. Either way, that's pretty awkward opening chapter folklore for your relationship. And if you're GOOD at being comfortable with and managing your own embarrassment towards giving him the incentive to "save" you and feel good about himself, then I'd say go for it. But if you're NOT an extravert-- and anybody that ruminates as much in advance as you've done sounds like more of an Introvert and highly sensitive to me--you could put yourself at too much of a disadvantage for further interaction @ that meetup. You could save the day if you're a hilarious self-deprecatory humorist.
Take the Highly Sensitive Person Test online, and lead with your own strengths: research is one, what about artistic, poetic, musical, human-relations, political, psychological,philosophical, intellectual? If he doesn't have your interests and abilities and you're much more sensitive (ie physiologically, emotionally, intellectually and psychologically) than he is, you're going to be disappointed eventually anyway, even if that's AFTER you get to feel like a lesser person because you aren't the soccerbuff you put yourself out to be.
[Of course all relationships are fundamentally flawed in some ways. But my experience has been that if you use psychological tricks like you're trying, or astrology like I did when I first met my wife, or psychic influence (that's been used on me at least twice), you're bending your natural conditions to unfair advantage, and that's going to bite you.]
I assume you're trying to arm yourself with weapons (in this case intellectually acquired) to keep from feeling so vulnerable when you go out to lure a male. But if your target-male is a soccer buff, female vulnerability could be a turn-on too. Since you're not going to have time to become an expert at soccer-ball-bashing, your legs, cleavage and perfume are better attractors to rely on, along with other feminine wiles like playing eye tag, knowing a lot about some topics he brings up (that you're good at, like arguing the battle of the sexes from sociobiological perspectives).
Bottomline, I'd advise watching from close by, leveraging your feminine atractiveness, artistic and social perceptiveness and intelligence, and, if you are highlysensitive (20% or so of us are, not cut out to be warriors) your vulnerability to intense stimulation and crowded situations makes you the kind of woman a man wants to protect and procreate with. Take the test and report your results. And tell me if you're an INTP or something else, as well as what you'd guess your target-male is.
Excellent. You are spot-on. I have known I was an HSP ever since I was in my early twenties. I've known I was an introvert ever since I was about 13 years old. I am an INFJ; I score INFJ about 80 percent of the time I do Myers-Briggs tests. I did score INTJ once; a psychologist whom I saw multiple times said that he thought I was INTJ (this was after only meeting me a couple times), then after seeing me a few dozen times he thought INFJ, then several sessions later he said, "Are you sure you're not an INTJ?". Personally I think I'm INFJ. My legs are much chubbier than what my upper body would indicate; many people have told me that the lower half of my body is fatter than my upper half. My ex-boyfriend said that
my legs are quite unattractive, but that my upper body is nice and thin. So, I don't think my legs would attract him. Perfume? Don't you mean pheromones? I don't use birth control pills so I don't have to worry so much about my MHC (major histocompatibility complex) attracting the wrong guy. I don't know if our immune systems are similar or not, but on his dating profile he selected the answer "It's very important" to the question of whether a female smells good, so I used anti-perspirant on my armpits.
My target male wrote on his ad on the dating website that he tested as INTJ. This was on his ad before I contacted him, so it's not like I asked him what his MBTI was.
I think he has social anxiety disorder and AvPD, based on what he has written on several different sites on the internet (so it is likely he is HSP as well). I sat on the grass and just watched the entire time. He showed up at about 2:21pm and left at about 3:25pm. According to the meetup site, the game starts at 2:00pm and ends at 4:00pm. So, he arrived late and left early. Also, I think it is very telling that when he arrived, he did not walk over to where I was sitting, which was near all the backpacks, bicycles, and water bottles of all the other players (the south side of the field). He came walking from the street from the north side (he doesn't have a car and relies on the bus) and put down his backpack on the west side of the soccer field and took off the shirt he was wearing and put on a white shirt (everyone was instructed to bring both a white shirt and a black shirt) and he put on his cleats and shin pads and then started playing. He never came within maybe 50 feet of me (this is just a rough guess of the distance). He never said anything to me or waved at me, but I did see him look in my direction some times. It looked as if he was staring at me while he was changing into his clothes.
I will pay you more money, since I know I am typing a lot, but you did ask me whether or not I was INTP, and what I thought my guy is, so that's why I am answering your questions. But I think you are excellent in your analysis and am more than happy to reward your excellent work with my financial generosity.
I'm an INFJ also, tho my F/T scores (Kiersey) are 11/9. YOu have such a powerful intellect that makes you seem like a dominant T. But if you're an INFJ, then your feeling should be extraverted, like mine is. And your inner life should be very rich in ideas, intuitive connections, dreams, artistic & psychological thinking, etc. Teacher/author type.
I'm concerned that you speak about him in diagnoses. If I were viewing a potential romantic interest I would be so enthusiastic about her intellect and her interests and her presence that I wouldn't be attending to limitations. But then again, I can't imagine being encouraged to engage with a person who after inviting me would barely indicate that s/he had noticed me. Do you like to pick up guys who are pretty limited psychologically and try to make them bloom?
I have another question: should I click on the "Good To See You!" button in the mass email I got from the meetup website, which is titled, "Stay in touch!", just to let my target-male know that I have not changed my mind about his attractiveness? This is the first time I've seen him play soccer. The only other time I've seen him in person was at the restaurant on June 11th 2013, and then another restaurant 3 years ago, but I doubt he'd remember I was at that restaurant 3 years ago. I'm worried about appearing too aggressive/dominant (as the female psychologist I talked to a few days ago warned me about; she said that I should NOT ask him out on a second date, as I asked him out on the first date. Well, he technically decided on the venue and time, but I was the one who suggested soccer to him. I do know that women are the ones who are the first to send out COVERT/subtle signals, but men do the actual asking, and for a woman to ask it could emasculate the man and make him not want the woman, as the woman will appear dominant and thus the type of woman who would be promiscuous/cheating/cuckolding. At least I think that's the reason a sociobiologist would give for why men don't like dominant women. Should I wait a day or so to see if he clicks the "Good to see you" button on the email that everyone got, or should I do it first?
No, I don't think I'm attracted to victims. I don't have co-dependency. I don't have White Knight Syndrome (I borrowed that book from the library once). I am not "The Rescuer" from the chapter by the same name in the book "Red Flags! How to Know You're Dating a Loser" by two male psychologists.
I have social anxiety disorder myself. I'm not sure if I qualify for AvPD anymore, because one of the criteria for AvPD is that a person is not willing to involve themselves with others unless certain of being liked, and I took a risk and sent him a PM suggesting we do soccer together even though I didn't know if he liked me or not. So I guess that's why I'm attracted to him; because most of us are attracted to people who remind us of ourselves.
I'm amazed at how much of what I published in my 2000 textbook Love & Intimate Relationships: Journeys of the Heart you know and are attempting to use. I do agree that you can't go too far with making the first moves, but that your subtle signals can't be TOO subtle. I called it "plausibly deniable" attraction signals in my textbook, and they've only gotten more and more heavily denied as cultures get more scared of commitment and divorce. I totally agree with the need to (let/get) the male to make significant moves. I was more HSP than my my first longterm girlfriend in college (final semester of 4th year): she had to keep sitting next to me in 3 out of 6 classes and finally asked me to walk her dog, who wouldn't be allowed in her next class, so I could "pop the question" ("OK, if you'll go out with me.")
Males who don't date much also don't discuss the rules and protocols with each other. I totally DON'T agree with the "promiscuous/cheating/cuckolding" idea. That's only a likely suspicion of a guy when he sees a woman being charmingly friendly plus a little sexy with more than one guy in a gathering. If she "only has eyes for him" and is consistent with her focused attentiveness and flirtation, the really shy guys might feel too intimidated to act, but if she lowers the flirtation temperature and focuses on creating a comfort zone between them, while clearly wanting nothing other than to enjoy him, he'll come around--though it might take him a while to warm up to either the physical attraction (if he hadn't been gazing with sexual interest before) or the emotional safety side (depending on how he achieves that) of his equation.
There are no sure guarantees of success in starting an attraction. I was 40 before I studied my long string of past relationships (6 of 1-9 years & 18 of 1wk to 2 months) and realized that I had almost always (except for 3 in Germany & 2 on board transatlantic ships) approached only women who'd signaled proceptivity, and the downside was that most were not what I really wanted. So I was determined to move first the next time--and the first woman I knew I wanted before she signaled, I also knew within 2 months that I would probably marry, and I did. Luckily she did want me with the same certainty--and that was also because we both knew that our progressed moons were in the house of partnership, and we shared Seriousness, HSP, higher education, & psychodynamic psychotherapy (esp Jungian & neoFreudian, with other satellite modalities less shared). So if you take the risk of making your intentions clear first, the other might decide eventually that you're not quite what he needs--or he might just be incapable of deciding to join his happiness with your happiness (which is what your diagnoses are intimating).
INTJ is what Jung was. The joke label is "Crackpot," because they're typically very sure of the airtight system that they believe ("Mastermind")--just as we INFJs are convinced that others should be as true to their feelings as we think we are. Sure, wait a day. Oh it's so awkward tiptoeing towards love.
Ooops it's past my bedtime. My Unitarian minister's going to talk about I-ching tomorrow, and may be building some of his sermon on the book of lectures I lent him when we men on Wed to begin talking about dreams(Unitarians often do personalized "book reports" as sermons, since it can be very intellectualizing stimulation).
Further on dominant women. Women who have a high need for power (a motivational psychology concept) don't scare men, because they're too smart for that mistake. They aim for who they want and make him feel like king of the roost--just exercising their power behind the scenes. They're just psychologists.
I am writing to you again because I like your thoughtful responses and this is the same guy I received a response from you about in my post titled "should guy Im attempting to woo see me suck at soccer".
Is there anything I can do to save this "relationship"? What can I write to him that will let him know I'm interested, but not appear desperate/needy/anxious/overeager?
I'm worried that I may have said the wrong thing to this guy and made him inadvertently think I wasn't interested in meeting up with him again in-person. I haven't received a response yet from a guy I went out on a few dates with back in the year 2013. As you can see from the Facebook conversation I've copied and pasted below, he usually responds in two days, sometimes one day (though I've read in three books that men have a different concept of "soon" than women - men expect a much longer passage of time. Women think "soon" means "tommorrow", while men think that "soon" means within two weeks). I read my last post to a male platonic friend of mine, to get his opinion, and while I was reading it, he kept heaving audible heavy sighs! Like groans. I asked him why he was making those negative-sounding noises, and he said that he feels I responded in the incorrect way. He thinks that I didn't convey what I wanted (and still want) to convey, which is that I want to go to a festival with him. He says that the way I phrased "You should check them out" sounds as if I am instructing him to go alone. He also said that when I said "might" in the sentence "Here are some fests I might go to", it makes it sound as if the likelihood of me going to any of those festivals is very slim. My platonic male friend also told me after the fact that when you send a message via Facebook when both of you are logged in and visible to each other, it automatically sends it via the chat box in the lower right corner. My platonic friend said that he thinks I appeared weird to my target male because I logged off immediately after initiating a chat. I noticed that he logged in at like 11:39pm on September 29th. So maybe he saw that I was logged in, and then decided to show me that he was logged in? I immediately logged off after sending it because I felt he stopped dating me because I appeared too desperate because I sent him two text messages (one for apologizing for showing up late and then another because I forgot to mention it in my first text: apologizing for forgetting to say thanks for buying my movie ticket) from my flipphone to his smartphone after our last date. I felt that if I stayed logged on after sending it while he was logged on, it would look like I was anxiously waiting for his reply. I don't want to look anxious. I don't want to confirm his suspicion of me, because it's not true (I've never had Dependent Personality Disorder nor Borderline Personality Disorder, by the way). I noticed that after our movie date on Oct 20th, 2013, he always appeared offline, but before Oct 20th he appeared online almost always. I wondered, and still wonder, if he did this because he didn't want me to instant message him. He never contacted me again until Dec 25th, 2013, just to say Merry Xmas. There was another time he logged in a couple minutes after I logged in, and stayed logged in for a few minutes, perhaps to see if I'd reply to the last message that he sent, but I didn't, so I guess he got fed up with waiting and logged out after about four minutes. I then replied to him I think the next day or so.
I should also mention that his birthday is coming up on Sunday October fifth. What should I do? I'm thinking of sending him a happy birthday message on Sunday, but I'm not sure what it should look like. His platonic friends of both genders have posted to his Facebook wall a simple short message of "Happy birthday!" "Happy birthday, genius" and "Happy birthday! Have a good one". Last year I sent him an instant message on October third, saying that I didn't want to wait until the fifth in case I forgot.
The last time he logged on on Oct 2nd was around 3:50pm.
By the way, if you're wondering why I waited about 13 days between Sept 8th and Sept 21st, it's because I followed the advice in the book He Texted to go silent for days and see if he writes anything. If he doesn't, then it means he's not interested. Then again, it was my turn to reply. I showed the sentence "Do you know any other fests that are planned?" to my mom and a female psychologist, and both said they could be a "leading question".

12/25, 3:57pm
[him] Hi [me]!
Merry Christmas!
8/26, 10:49pm
[me] Thanks! It's great to hear from you. I haven't logged in to Facebook in a while; I just got bored of it and forgot about it. So how have you been enjoying the summer?
8/27, 6:52pm
[him] It was nice so far, went first time to Whistler and Victoria. How about you want? Found job that you like? 8/27, 11:40pm [me] That's good; I've been to Victoria and Whistler too. This summer I've been to some outdoor festivals. I'm still working at the same job, but I have sent some resumes to employers. What did you do in Whistler and Victoria?
8/29, 8:09pm
[him] Just got day tours there, my mother was visiting and we went there together. In Whistler peak to peak gondola is really cool
9/1, 10:23pm
[me] Did she visit both Victoria and Whistler? Which one did she like better?
9/3, 6:08pm
[him] Yes we went to both. She liked both, they are different - in Whistler there are beautiful mountains and on the way to Victoria we were also watching whales. Have you been to Squamish festival? We went to Whistler just before it started
9/6, 6:13pm
[me] I've heard about the Squamish music festival though I've never been to it. Did you go to Squamish after going to Whistler? When I was twelve my whole seventh grade class went to Camp Squamish, and when I was about thirteen my parents took me to Whistler with their friends. We didn't go on any gondolas though; we just looked at the shops I think. I think Tigra should come to the Squamish festival; I would pay money to be entertained by her! :) Has your sister or father ever visited Canada?
9/8, 9:32pm
[him] No I didn't go to Squamish festival, I think you couldn't have gone on gondolas as a kid, they built them very recently. I wanted my mother to come with my sister and my niece, but they have not got visas unfortunately
9/21, 4:00pm [Sun Sept 21]
[me] So Geeda must be the one who was a comp sci student - I like her action figure collection! Did you go to Folk Fest? I thought about going, but then decided not to.
[a few seconds after I sent it at 4:00pm, I see a checkmark and the words "Seen - 4:00pm" under my post. And it said he was last active 1m ago instead of 1d ago, which is what it said at 4:00pm. So I think he must have something that instantly alerts him whenever someone sends him a message.]
12:08am [Tues Sept 23, like late Monday night]
[him] Yes she was, I was at her home once and her collection looks spectacular. No I haven't heard about folk fest. Do you know any other fests that are planned?
11:42pm Monday September 29 2014
[me]Here are some fests I might go to. Have you heard of them? You should check them out:

I am trying to add a new syntax highlighting definition in YAML with the AAAPackageDev.The tutorial on docs.sublimetext.info/en/latest/ ... xdefs.html I am using as a guidance. The YALM end result of the tutorial is working just fine. For the new syntax I am looking for a reference of scope names. I did some google for it, but I could not find it. The XML version of the already build in ones are a little hard to read. Is there some documentation about this format of syntax definition?
Thanks in advance!

SIGdial has held an annual workshop on discourse and dialogue since 2000. Due to our steady growth of members, starting in 2009, the SIGDIAL venue became a conference and began to recognize Best Paper awards. SIGDIAL 2012 was held was held in Seoul, South Korea, in "near co-location" with ACL 2012. The General Chairs were Gary Geunbae Lee and Jonathan Ginzburg, and the Program Chairs were Amanda Stent and Claire Gardent. The local organizing committee comprised Minhwa Chung, Hyung Soon Kim, Jungyun Seo and Sunhee Kim. The Mentoring Chair was Kallirroi Georgila and the Sponsorship Chair was Jason Williams.

For SIGDIAL 2012, a number of new initiatives were implemented. First, the SIGDIAL Board decided to video-record selected talks and archive them on the web. Toward this effort, we received a generous grant of 1,000 Euros from the ISCA Interspeech 2010 Board. Second, the Executive Board and the Conference Committee decided to fund student travel via the ISCA Student Travel Grant application process. For travel to Seoul Korea, SIGDIAL funded 3 students at $600 each. ISCA also generously funded 3 students.
The videos from SIGDIAL 2012 have been viewed a total of about 625 times. Some of the views are partial views, where someone watches only a portion of a talk. Complete talks have been watched about 150 times.

text: So I ditched the Scotts rotary spreader and decided to step up and buy a better unit. I went with a Lesco 50lb spreader. Can someone explain exactly how to calibrate this spreader? This explanation just seems cryptic to me. A youtube video would be great!: http://www.rittenhouse.ca/asp/AboutUs.asp?LID=900061 TO ACHIEVE THE CORRECT PRODUCT APPLICATION RATE: The approximate spreader settings printed on any product label should only be used as the initial setting for calibration. Set the rate control arm at this approximate setting. Using the collection of boxes or pans, make a single pass over them to determine the effective pattern width. The effective pattern width is twice (2x) the distance to the point where the rate drops to one-half the average rate at the center. Example: If the product in the vials from the center boxes averages two inches in depth, count out to the vial that has one inch of product. If this is the fifth vial from the center and the boxes were on one-foot centres, the effective pattern width is ten feet. (2 x 5 ft.) Knowing the effective pattern width (ten feet), measure out a lineal distance equal to 1,000 sq ft. (10 ft x 100 ft = 1000 sq ft) Weigh 20 lbs of product and place it in the spreader hopper and spread it over the distance necessary to equal 1,000 sq ft. (100 ft) then weigh the product left in the hopper and subtract this amount from the amount with which you started. The result is the application rate for this product in pounds per 1,000 square feet that your spreader is currently adjusted to disperse. Adjust the rate control arm up or down as needed and repeat this procedure until the correct application rate is achieved. TO USE THE LESCO CALIBRATION GAUGES: The LESCO Calibration Gauges provide a series of "steps", numbered in 1/32-inch increments, which will allow you to fine-tune the LESCO spreader. Once you have calibrated your LESCO rotary spreader for the product chosen, open the operating lever and insert the calibration gauges until you determine which step fits tightly into one of the open holes in the hopper bottom. Record that step number for future reference when using that product. You may choose to set other LESCO rotary spreaders for application of the same product by adjusting the shutoff plate to that calibration gauge step. This will provide consistent settings for all of your LESCO spreaders. To recalibrate your Lesco rotary spreader after a period of use, adjust the rate control arm to the "24" position. Open the operating lever and insert even-numbered LESCO Calibration Gauge into one of the open holes in the hopper bottom. Close the operating lever and let the shutoff plate on the underside of the hopper make contact with the number ten step on the Lesco Calibration gauge. Move the rate control arm back toward the "6" position until he bottom of the arm makes contact with the shutoff plate. If your spreader is properly adjusted, the top of the rate control arm should be at setting "9". To correct variances, remove the rate control arm, place the bottom of the arm (up to the bolt hole) in a vice, and bend either to the right or the left. So I guess my first question is this. I assembled this unit for the first time. Can I assume it's fine out of the box and calibrated correctly? If not I set it to 24, open up the hopper, put the #10 step gauge in the hole. Close the hopper, then move the rate control arm to 6 with the #10 gauge still inserted? If I just set it to 6 how would it then be at 9? HELP

Battle Hunter
Review by Rebel Templar
"A very addicting game for less than 10 bucks..."
...it got me glued to my playstation the first time I played it. Guess the back cover can be deceiving, eh?? Anyway, if your gonna have a party or something, this should be one of your games. It's almost like a must have, I'll explain why...
Gameplay - 8/10
This game is very fun for the low price it was at. Very easy to learn but its kinda confusing at first. Well...so are all of the other board games...
Control - 5/10
Well, it's not that great but its manageable to say the least. Its kinda like the controller is tipped to the right a little.
Story - 4/10
Unoriginal, restore the world, war aftermath thing going on here. Game needed something, guess this was it. Could've been better though. For the single player mode, some guy in a hawaiian shirt sends you on missions, requiring you to grab some item he seems to like early on, but the storyline gets a little more detailed as you progress. In multi player mode, that same hawaiian guy sends your team to find some item he likes and bring it back to him. It's up to you to decide how you get it.
Graphics - 7/10
No 3-Dimensional, fancy schmancy stuff here. Just the flat, 2d Super Mario Brothers 3 type graphics. With the futuristic looks and all, they're acceptable. They could've had alot more if they wanted to...
Audio - 10/10
Crystal clear. Matches whatever is going on in that screen at the moment. Along with 3 in-game tracks that fit perfectly and sets the mood of the round, its gets a 10.
Replayability - 9/10
You want to play this alot. You know you want to. It's the type of game that follows the old saying, ''The more, the merrier'' or something like that. Plus, the only requirement for multi player gaming is that you need one controller. That's right, one controller. This game also saves you money at the same time!! Just don't play it for more than 48 hours in a row, it's too much and that's too long. Go on now, fall asleep, you know you want to.
Buy or Rent?? - Buy
It's cheap, and for under 10 bucks now, you can do whatever you want with it. I suggest you play it but it could also be used as a paper weight, dust collector, doorstop, etc.
So look where ever you find loose change and get this game, it's definitely worth its price!!
Reviewer's Rating: 4.0 - Great

Yeddyurappa was arrested by the Karnataka Lokyukta in a land denotification scam on Saturday. He filed for a bail petition in the High Court on the grounds of his ill health.
Yeddyurappa was admitted to the Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology, Bangalore after he complained of "chest pain" and is likely to be discharged today, said doctors.
The BJP, which was shell shocked after his arrest, said that it would fight his case legally adding that the party would continue to support him.
His arrest is also seen as a huge setback to BJP leader LK Advani's Jan Chetna Yatra which aims to focus at the issues of corruption and black money. But many continue to extend their support to the tainted minister despite his name being indicted in corruption cases.
"BSY is our political father. It is very painful to see him in this condition. We pray to the goddesses to give him good health - that is most important - that is the only prayer that we can have," said S Ramadas, Education Minister, Karnataka.
Meanwhile, several minister's along with the Chief Minister of Karnataka, Sadananda Gowda rushed to visit the ill leader at the hospital.
