One of our goals in this chapter is to isolate issues about thinking procedurally. As a case in point, let us consider that, in evaluating combinations, the interpreter is itself following a procedure.
- To evaluate a combination, do the following:
- Evaluate the subexpressions of the combination.
- Apply the procedure that is the value of the leftmost subexpression (the operator) to the arguments that are the values of the other subexpressions (the operands).
Even this simple rule illustrates some important points about processes in general. First, observe that the first step dictates that in order to accomplish the evaluation process for a combination we must first perform the evaluation process on each element of the combination. Thus, the evaluation rule is recursive in nature; that is, it includes, as one of its steps, the need to invoke the rule itself.[10]
Notice how succinctly the idea of recursion can be used to express what, in the case of a deeply nested combination, would otherwise be viewed as a rather complicated process. For example, evaluating
(* (+ 2 (* 4 6))
(+ 3 5 7))
requires that the evaluation rule be applied to four different combinations. We can obtain a picture of this process by representing the combination in the form of a tree, as shown in figure 1.1. Each combination is represented by a node with branches corresponding to the operator and the operands of the combination stemming from it. The terminal nodes (that is, nodes with no branches stemming from them) represent either operators or numbers. Viewing evaluation in terms of the tree, we can imagine that the values of the operands percolate upward, starting from the terminal nodes and then combining at higher and higher levels. In general, we shall see that recursion is a very powerful technique for dealing with hierarchical, treelike objects. In fact, the "percolate values upward" form of the evaluation rule is an example of a general kind of process known as tree accumulation.
Next, observe that the repeated application of the first step brings us to the point where we need to evaluate, not combinations, but primitive expressions such as numerals, built-in operators, or other names. We take care of the primitive cases by stipulating that
- the values of numerals are the numbers that they name,
- the values of built-in operators are the machine instruction sequences that carry out the corresponding operations, and
- the values of other names are the objects associated with those names in the environment.
We may regard the second rule as a special case of the third one by
stipulating that symbols such as
+ and
* are also included
in the global environment, and are associated with the sequences of
machine instructions that are their "values." The key point to
notice is the role of the environment in determining the meaning of
the symbols in expressions. In an interactive language such as
Lisp, it is meaningless to speak of the value of an expression such as
(+ x 1) without specifying any information about the environment
that would provide a meaning for the symbol x (or even for the
+). As we shall see in chapter 3, the general notion of
the environment as providing a context in which evaluation takes place
will play an important role in our understanding of program execution.
Notice that the
evaluation rule given above does not handle definitions.
For instance, evaluating
(define x 3) does not apply
define to two arguments, one
of which is the value of the symbol x and the other of which is
3, since the purpose of the
define is precisely to associate
x with a value.
(That is,
(define x 3) is not a combination.)
Such exceptions to the general evaluation rule are called special
Define is the only example of a special form that we
have seen so far, but we will meet others shortly. Each special form
has its own evaluation rule. The various kinds of expressions (each
with its associated evaluation rule) constitute the syntax of the
programming language. In comparison with most other programming
languages, Lisp has a very simple syntax; that is, the evaluation rule
for expressions can be described by a simple general rule together
with specialized rules for a small number of special
Yup, that'll do it. You have my aprpeciation.

Yes, just checked this weeks rankings and Maria is back at no.2.
Moving in the right direction, i think it´s about time Wozzy starts sleeping on her elbows, haha.
3109 is the difference. But the thing is, Maria will earn points in TOKYO, which is her next event. Only if she does well in Tokyo and Beijing, she might end the year as number 2. :D
Like Safina & JJ before her, Caro's points/ranking are sustained by contending well at a LARGE number of Tour events. That can be achieved by a young champion who has yet to experience significant injury. (Something to be noted re those occasions she's fallen to the court screaming bloody murder. lol)
HaHa... This is a serious obsession
Sorry buddy. Couldn't resist.
No big deal Philli. That's the new standard in the female tennis world.
I won't be surprised when Sharapova will be N°1. She is a clever girl EVEN if she has not won her second Wimbledon GS this year.
I think Maria should play one more tournament this year to insure the #2 at the end of the year.
She will likely end the year as #2 because she will earn extra points at the Year end Championships. She can also play an extra tournament before the end of the year.
Hey, Philli. I'm in the Shoutbox.
It has always been an option to play Masha in the first 2012 tie. Given her chronic bad luck in Moscow, that makes sense. The site of the first 2012 tie (against Spain) is also Olympic Stadium:
Re Vera, though, tough schedule. Zvonareva is now scheduled to play Fed Cup, Kremlin Cup & the YEC--thanx to WTA, those all effectively conflict.
Boffff!!! .......Yeah!!!!!......Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
It's a pity that Maria lost in 3rd round in Us Open against Pennetta. She had a good draw in the road to final, and now she would be very close to Wozniacki......

Alerts and Important Information
Effective Monday, March 3, we will not be accepting any reservations beyond Sunday, June 8, for camping, picnicking, swimming or special events at Del Valle Regional Park. This action is in response to the historic drought conditions affecting California. A predicted drawdown of Del Valle reservoir this summer for drinking water supplies will most likely result in the lake level falling below the intakes of the parks public water system. Without an operational park water system we will be unable to provide drinking water, operate the parks sanitary sewer system, or provide for adequate fire protection. Existing reservations prior to June 8 will be honored but are contingent upon adequate lake levels and water supplies.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman did nothing to quash speculation Tuesday that Husker football coach Bo Pelini could face disciplinary action for a taped profanity-laced tirade that has again made the coach's fiery demeanor a hot topic across Nebraska and the nation.
Perlman, who in 2010 publicly reprimanded Pelini for his sideline behavior, said in an exclusive interview with The World-Herald that he has no timetable as he and Athletic Director Shawn Eichorst decide their next move on a matter the chancellor called "important.''
"When we feel comfortable deciding what to do, we will do it,'' Perlman said late Tuesday afternoon while in Omaha.
When Pelini was asked two hours later whether a suspension has been discussed and whether he would accept one, the coach said he had not heard anything.
"I fully anticipate coaching this weekend,'' he said in reference to Saturday's home game against South Dakota State. "I haven't been given any assurance, but you proceed with the information you have. I'm the football coach until somebody says different.''
Perlman and Pelini did talk by phone Monday night after the two-year-old audio rant went public — and viral. Perlman on Tuesday declined to discuss the nature of the conversation.
And he also declined to share his feelings on whether the sixth-year coach has grown a lot in the two years since his controversial words were recorded. "It would be awkward,'' Perlman gave as his reason for declining to share those thoughts. "When we make a decision, we'll spell it out.''
Meanwhile, the taped bombshell and a nationally televised Husker meltdown Saturday against UCLA had people across the state debating whether Pelini should face punishment and whether he's the right man to coach the Huskers.
Fans took to social media and radio call-in shows, some calling the coach an embarrassment, others praising his fire and passion. An online poll on Omaha.com found fans split on Pelini. Just under half said he should face no discipline at all, while over a third said they wanted him to step down or be fired.
A Facebook page called "Keep Bo Pelini'' established last year generated lots of words of support and thousands of new followers. And ex-Huskers also rallied strongly to the defense of the coach they frequently laud for his loyalty and commitment to players.
"Coach Bo would do anything for every single one of his players!'' former star running back Rex Burkhead wrote on Twitter. "Thinking about firing him? You've got to be kidding me!''
The controversy began late Monday afternoon when the sports website Deadspin.com posted the Pelini rant, recorded in the wake of Nebraska's dramatic 34-27 comeback win over Ohio State in October of 2011. As Pelini waits with Husker play-by-play voice Greg Sharpe for his postgame interview on the Huskers' radio network, he can be heard venting about Nebraska's "fair-weather'' fans, some of whom had booed the Huskers and left the stadium before the late Husker surge.
"It took everything in my power to not say, 'F--- you, fans. F--- all of you.' F--- 'em," Pelini says.
He later says fans "can all kiss my a-- on my way out the f------ door. 'Cause the day is f------ coming now.''
Perlman in 2010 had rebuked Pelini publicly after a game against Texas A&M in which network cameras repeatedly caught Pelini verbally assaulting referees. He was also shown giving quarterback Taylor Martinez a verbal lashing. Perlman said at the time that the conduct reflected badly on the school and football program. Pelini publicly apologized.
|Join the conversation on the Big Red Today Facebook page.
Some speculated later that a lack of support from Perlman may have caused Pelini to flirt with the open coaching job at the University of Miami. Both men declined at the time to speak of the matter other than Perlman backing Pelini publicly as the school's coach.
Tuesday morning during his state of the university address, Perlman brushed off reporters seeking comment on Monday's audio disclosure, saying he was still "reflecting'' on the situation.
Later in the day, he told The World-Herald he wouldn't make any decision regarding the matter based "on the emotions of the moment.''
"Fans and others want Shawn and I to be thoughtful and make sure we have all the facts and exhibit good judgment,'' Perlman said. "That isn't done in a 24-hour period.''
Pelini released a prepared statement about the incident Monday but then spoke twice to reporters Tuesday, first on the weekly Big Ten conference call and then after his team's practice.
Pelini said he didn't know whether he would be disciplined. He said there "wasn't much discussion'' yet on the matter during his Monday talk with Perlman and a meeting with Eichorst.
As he had in the written statement the previous day, Pelini again apologized to fans. He said the comments were private ventings at an emotional time, not representative of his true feelings.
"We have great fans," he said. "I respect them. I respect them for who they are."
Pelini rejected suggestions that he was less-than-enamored with being at Nebraska, where he has a 51-21 record. He said he's been pursued by other schools but declined chances to leave.
"I've had opportunities to leave Nebraska, so obviously I enjoy it here," he said. "My family enjoys it here. I don't know where that perception comes from. I've had a good experience here. I've been very active in the community. I have great relationships here … and I have great support here."
Pelini used the words "disturbed' and ''shocked'' to describe the release of the audio clip, but said he also would not make excuses for his mistake.
"I'm a grown man and I accept responsibility for what I said, but I think we've all said things that we don't necessarily mean,'' Pelini said. "You get frustrated, and you learn from it. That was a long time ago that that happened. I believe I've continued to grow as a head coach in a lot of different ways since that point. I'll leave it at that.''
Those words in some ways echoed those of a prominent Nebraska booster who said now is the time for Husker fans to rally around Pelini and his team.
"It's very unfortunate what he said, but I think Coach Pelini has grown a lot in the last two years,'' said Duane Acklie of Lincoln, chairman of a major Nebraska trucking company and a longtime Husker booster. "I see a new Bo Pelini at this time. Hopefully these kinds of comments will never come again.''
Other boosters also weighed in Tuesday. Dan Cook, another prominent booster from Dallas, said he was very troubled by Pelini's words.
"Whether it's on the record out there or it's taped by somebody, I think this is a very disturbing thing to have anybody talk that way,'' Cook said.
Cook, however, made it clear: "I'm not calling for anybody's head.''
Indeed, no booster The World-Herald spoke to Tuesday considered Pelini's two-year-old rant a fireable offense.
One Omaha booster associated with the program for decades said that while many were disappointed by the incident, it's Pelini's won-loss record at Nebraska that will determine whether he remains as coach. The jury is still out on that, said the booster, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
"It's disappointing, but I don't think it should cost a person his job,'' he said. "But there is no question this has got people talking about whether this is the right coach for us.''
John Payne of Kearney, a booster and former member of the NU Board of Regents, said he had no opinion on whether it's time for a change. But Payne said he is losing faith in Pelini, who he said may be "in over his head.''
"It's not a very good situation down there, and Bo has no place to look but in the mirror,'' he said. "I think he means well and gives good effort, but there's something that just isn't right.''
Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman said Tuesday that he wouldn't weigh in on Pelini or discuss the coach's future.
"I'm going to leave that one to the university," Heineman said during an interview in Washington, D.C. "They've got to make their own decision on how they're going to handle that.''
One place Pelini has never seemed to lack for support is among his current and former players. Several past players came out strongly for him on Twitter.
"There's no better teacher/father figure/coach/man/leader that I'd want to play for than Coach Bo,'' said former Husker linebacker Will Compton.
Former Husker receiver Brandon Kinnie in defending the coach referenced his own feelings about fans' conduct in the game that prompted Pelini's rant, saying, "It hurt like hell getting booed and seeing fans leave that game 2 years ago against Ohio State only for us to come back and WIN!''
Pelini also got statements of support from his two top assistants.
Defensive coordinator John Papuchis said Pelini has not only won at least nine games in each of his first five seasons, he's also done things the right way, graduating his players and recruiting within the rules.
"I think there's a lot of things that Bo has done for this program, outside of wins and losses, that people should be extremely proud of,'' Papuchis said.
Said offensive coordinator Tim Beck: "It's hard to give your heart and soul to something — and the sacrifices, a lot of times, that coaches make — and have it so easily taken away. Or tarnished, I should say. You can't take away what he's done. But to tarnish what he's done, the way it was done ...''
As for his current players, Pelini said he didn't expect them to be distracted by the week's events as they prepare to play on Saturday.
"Our players are resilient," he said. "Trust me, they'll be ready to go. It's a strong group of kids."
World-Herald staff writers Joe Morton and Sam McKewon contributed to this report.

8th Internet Governance Forum
Council of Europe to focus on human rights for Internet users at the IGF
Strasbourg, 18.10.2013 – By a simple click, Internet users often accept the terms of reference of Internet providers without being aware of the consequences for the realisation of their human rights, in particular their freedom of expression, freedom of association and the right to privacy.
Next week, at the 8th Internet Governance Forum (IGF) to be held in Indonesia from 22 to 25 October, the Council of Europe will launch a consultation on its draft guide on human rights for Internet users with representatives from governments, business, the technical community and civil society. The document, to be presented at the IGF open forum "Human rights for Internet users" on 25 October and which is scheduled for adoption by Council of Europe Committee of Ministers in 2014, will discuss what Internet users need to know about their rights in order to be able to act upon them (more...)
Council of Europe alerts governments on risks of digital tracking and surveillance
The Council of Europe alerted on 12 June 2013 its 47 member states to the risks of digital tracking and other surveillance technologies for human rights, the rule of law and democracy, and recalled the need to ensure their legitimate use.
In a Declaration issued to governments, the Committee of Ministers say that legislation allowing for overly broad surveillance of citizens can challenge their privacy and have a chilling effect on their freedom of expression and the freedom of the media.
The Committee recall that tracking and surveillance measures by law enforcement authorities should comply with the Council of Europe's human rights standards set out in the European Convention on Human Rights. Such measures should also strictly respect the limits, requirements and safeguards set out in the Data Protection Convention 108. (more...)

Kim Kardashian Weight Gain: A Total Kanye West Turn-Off!by Hilton Hater at . Updated at .
According to earlier reports, Kim Kardashian is melting down over her pregnancy weight gain.
And according to a new report, Kim and Kanye West are not getting down and dirty for the same reason.
"Kim and Kanye's relationship used to be all about soft music, candlelight dinners and romantic nights together," an insider
lies tells The National Enquirer.
But now?!?
"Kim has put on such a large amount of weight, Kanye seems to be busier with his music schedule than ever, and Kim doesn't think it's a coincidence," this source supposedly says.
With stress already creating a miscarriage scare for Kardashian, friends are worried about what may happen between the couple.
"She's concerned about Kanye cheating, and his disinterested and distracted attitude isn't helping," concluded the mole.
But those Kim Kardashian boobs should at least be growing, right? Just pull them out more often, girl.

Kim Kardashian Weight Gain: A Total Kanye West Turn-Off!
Seems homemade to me
This seems highly unlikely for two people whose relationship has grown from an almost decade-long friendship, during which time they had many opportunities to hook up, but kept it platonic, to be I danger due to the birth of a child, which seems to be planned. Kim, was really desperate to have one. Perhaps Kanye wanted one too and they decided to conceive. They took their time to enter into this phase according to them. Also, Kanye reportedly did not have a history of cheating until the two of them hooked up when he was with Amber. It is frightening when you steal someone's boyfriend, because it is then hard for you to trust the man you stole. If anything in this article is true, then karma's a b....ch.
people gain weight when their preggo he shouldn't be concerned about her pre baby weight? 99% of these stars lose all their baby weight within 6 months after. Why should it be a problem what her weight is now? she should be the only one concerned if the doctor thinks it's unhealthy or not. She shouldn't be concerned what Hollywood idea of skinny right now. And if Kanye cheats on her it wouldn't be her fault. Someone cheating on you is never your fault. They should have the decency of ending the relationship before they hook up with anyone else.

I used tiny umbrella to back up something as requested but I didn't know for sure what I was backing up. It said in the info bit, Cydia reported already saved. My question is how do I find out what it saved, as I think I may have saved my old baseband, before the ipad one installed.
Also how do you restore it again.

The more I get to know some people, the more I like my dog.
He was extremely remorseful at first, but he NEVER told me the whole truth, it took lots of digging and lots of d-days to get the truth out of him. It has been a long and metally traumatic journey in reconciliation. I have been on anti-d's and anti anxiety meds and have had minor bouts of depression.
I am at the point where I am trying to decide whether to give up on this marriage or not. My IC told me to set up some boundries. My WH depends on me to do everything for him, and he is very demanding and picky. Just taking the stress off of trying to satisfy his complaints and requests has been such a relief.
What he has continued to do is blame me for his affairs... to which I always reply BULLSHIT. He denies being narcissistic in any way. Big surprise *dripping with sarcasm*.
During the R, he has had to spend alot more time at home and with the me and the children, he always had hobbies to take up all his free time. We got in a HUGE fight where I told him that he was "only doing what a father and husband should do normally", he said he was "extremely unhappy and felt captive". That just really threw me... I don't want a future where I have to be concerned that I am planning things that are going to be exciting enough for him, because nothing ever is enough for him. He won't come up with anything on his own either.
It's my fault for his affairs, my fault that I can't get over the affairs. Oh and I should have empathy for him and the pain HE is in.
I left him this weekend, and moved in with family in another state. Our children adore him, and I have been staying with him because of the children. I am calling him to let the children talk to him but am not talking at length with him. I need some space and some peace.
I do love him, but is there ANY hope for someone that has these NPD characteristics? Is this type of denial, blameshifting in the early stages of diagnosis common?
I'm sorry.
I would suggest going back to the first thread and reading some of the articles there.
You have a long road ahead. The good news is you have the strength and the courage to do this.
Many positive thoughts.
Ah, but she can't take you any way

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)
Definition, Fact Sheet and Tips
What is Narcissism?
A pattern of traits and behaviors which signify infatuation and obsession with one's self to the exclusion of all others and the egotistic and ruthless pursuit of one's gratification, dominance and ambition.
Most narcissists (75%) are men.
NPD is one of a "family" of personality disorders (formerly known as "Cluster B").
Other members: Borderline PD, Antisocial PD and Histrionic PD.
NPD is often diagnosed with other mental health disorders ("co-morbidity") - or with substance abuse, or impulsive and reckless behaviors ("dual diagnosis").
NPD is new (1980) mental health category in the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual (DSM).
There is only scant research regarding narcissism. But what there is has not demonstrated any ethnic, social, cultural, economic, genetic, or professional predilection to NPD.
It is estimated that 0.7-1% of the general population suffer from NPD.
Pathological narcissism was first described in detail by Freud. Other major contributors are: Klein, Horney, Kohut, Kernberg, Millon, Roningstam, Gunderson, Hare.
The onset of narcissism is in infancy, childhood and early adolescence. It is commonly attributed to childhood abuse and trauma inflicted by parents, authority figures, or even peers.
There is a whole range of narcissistic reactions - from the mild, reactive and transient to the permanent personality disorder.
Narcissists are either "Cerebral" (derive their narcissistic supply from their intelligence or academic achievements) - or "Somatic" (derive their narcissistic supply from their physique, exercise, physical or sexual prowess and "conquests").
Narcissists are either "Classic" - see definition below - or they are "Compensatory", or "Inverted" - see definitions here: "The Inverted Narcissist".
NPD is treated in talk therapy (psychodynamic or cognitive-behavioral). The prognosis for an adult narcissist is poor, though his adaptation to life and to others can improve with treatment. Medication is applied to side-effects and behaviors (such as mood or affect disorders and obsession-compulsion) - usually with some success.
Please read CAREFULLY!
The text in italics is NOT based on the Diagnostics and Statistics Manual, Fourth Edition-Text Revision (2000).
The text in italics IS based on "Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited", fourth, revised, printing (2003)
An all-pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behaviour), need for admiration or adulation and lack of empathy, usually beginning by early adulthood and present in various contexts. Five (or more) of the following criteria must be met:
Feels grandiose and self-important (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents to the point of lying, demands to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
Is obsessed with fantasies of unlimited success, fame, fearsome power or omnipotence, unequalled brilliance (the cerebral narcissist), bodily beauty or sexual performance (the somatic narcissist), or ideal, everlasting, all-conquering love or passion
Firmly convinced that he or she is unique and, being special, can only be understood by, should only be treated by, or associate with, other special or unique, or high-status people (or institutions)
Requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation - or, failing that, wishes to be feared and to be notorious (narcissistic supply)
Feels entitled. Expects unreasonable or special and favorable priority treatment. Demands automatic and full compliance with his or her expectations
Is "interpersonally exploitative", i.e., uses others to achieve his or her own ends
Devoid of empathy. Is unable or unwilling to identify with or acknowledge the feelings and needs of others
Constantly envious of others or believes that they feel the same about him or her
Arrogant, haughty behaviours or attitudes coupled with rage when frustrated, contradicted, or confronted
Some of the language in the criteria above is based on or summarized from:
American Psychiatric Association. (2000). Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, fourth edition, Text Revision (DSM IV-TR). Washington, DC: American Psychiatric Association.
The text in italics is based on:
Sam Vaknin. (2003). Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited, fourth, revised, printing. Prague and Skopje: Narcissus Publication.
For the exact language of the DSM IV criteria - please refer to the manual itself !!!
How to Avoid the Wrath of the Narcissist
Never disagree with the narcissist or contradict him
Never offer him any intimacy
Look awed by whatever attribute matters to him (for instance: by his professional achievements or by his good looks, or by his success with women and so on)
Never remind him of life out there and if you do, connect it somehow to his sense of grandiosity
Do not make any comment, which might directly or indirectly impinge on his self-image, omnipotence, judgment, omniscience, skills, capabilities, professional record, or even omnipresence. Bad sentences start with: "I think you overlooked ... made a mistake here ... you don't know ... do you know ... you were not here yesterday so ... you cannot ... you should ... (perceived as rude imposition, narcissists react very badly to restrictions placed on their freedom) ... I (never mention the fact that you are a separate, independent entity, narcissists regard others as extensions of their selves, their internalization processes were screwed up and they did not differentiate properly) ..." You get the gist of it.
The TEN DO'S
How to Make your Narcissist Dependent on You
If you INSIST on Staying with Him
Listen attentively to everything the narcissist says and agree with it all. Don't believe a word of it but let it slide as if everything is just fine, business as usual.
Personally offer something absolutely unique to the narcissist which they cannot obtain anywhere else. Also be prepared to line up future sources of primary NS for your narcissist because you will not be IT for very long, if at all. If you take over the procuring function for the narcissist, they become that much more dependent on you which makes it a bit tougher for them to pull their haughty stuff - an inevitability, in any case.
Be endlessly patient and go way out of your way to be accommodating, thus keeping the narcissistic supply flowing liberally, and keeping the peace (relatively speaking).
Be endlessly giving. This one may not be attractive to you, but it is a take it or leave it proposition.
Be absolutely emotionally and financially independent of the narcissist. Take what you need: the excitement and engulfment and refuse to get upset or hurt when the narcissist does or says something dumb, rude, or insensitive. Yelling back works really well but should be reserved for special occasions when you fear your narcissist may be on the verge of leaving you; the silent treatment is better as an ordinary response, but it must be carried out without any emotional content, more with the air of boredom and "I'll talk to you later, when I am good and ready, and when you are behaving in a more reasonable fashion".
If your narcissist is cerebral and NOT interested in having much sex - then give yourself ample permission to have "hidden" sex with other people. Your cerebral narcissist will not be indifferent to infidelity so discretion and secrecy is of paramount importance.
If your narcissist is somatic and you don't mind, join in on endlessly interesting group sex encounters but make sure that you choose properly for your narcissist. They are heedless and very undiscriminating in respect of sexual partners and that can get very problematic (STDs and blackmail come to mind).
If you are a "fixer", then focus on fixing situations, preferably before they become "situations". Don't for one moment delude yourself that you can FIX the narcissist - it simply will not happen. Not because they are being stubborn - they just simply can't be fixed.
If there is any fixing that can be done, it is to help your narcissist become aware of their condition, and this is VERY IMPORTANT, with no negative implications or accusations in the process at all. It is like living with a physically handicapped person and being able to discuss, calmly, unemotionally, what the limitations and benefits of the handicap are and how the two of you can work with these factors, rather than trying to change them.
FINALLY, and most important of all: KNOW YOURSELF.
What are you getting from the relationship? Are you actually a masochist? A codependent perhaps? Why is this relationship attractive and interesting?
Define for yourself what good and beneficial things you believe you are receiving in this relationship.
Define the things that you find harmful TO YOU. Develop strategies to minimize the harm to yourself. Don't expect that you will cognitively be able to reason with the narcissist to change who they are. You may have some limited success in getting your narcissist to tone down on the really harmful behaviours THAT AFFECT YOU which emanate from the unchangeable WHAT the narcissist is. This can only be accomplished in a very trusting, frank and open relationship.

Not engaging and arguing with one is really on tip that helped alot. That and not trying to do everything they request helps alot. Is there any hope in reforming a narcissist, other than placating and agreeing with their fucked up version of their omnipotence?
Is there any hope in reforming a narcissist, other than placating and agreeing with their fucked up version of their omnipotence?
In a word NO.
You can talk to them until you are blue in the face but they will not be able to see that the world really is a different colour than they say it is and that they really are not "god". Their adapation to the world to complete and they have been relying on that world view for so long (usually since early childhood) that they have no other frame of reference other than the one in their mind. I do think that they know some of the lies etc. are a mask but usually their survival depends on holding that mask up for the rest of the world to see.
As for living with someone who has the disorder, it can be done as long as you are willing to set aside you hopes, dreams and desires for what they want: forever. You have to be their slave for the most part and never cross them in any way. The list says what you must not do and what you must do to live with someone like that. Read it and then ask yourself is you can live a happy life like that. For me the answer was HELL NO.
Counceling can help them see some of their bahaviours and the impact they have on those around them. But for there to be real counceling they have admit there is a problem ( ) and since they are so omnipotent there really is nothing worng with them or anything that a meer mortal councelor can teach them.
Hurtnstill I have to say that the situation you are in is one of the reasons I knew that I had to divorce my ex even if everything else was ok. I knew that years from now it would all be like the other shoe hanging over my shoulder about to drop. I have no idea what would help. I know for me getting out was the only option.
LOL W2 I missed it until today and was still posting on the old thread. Gosh I need glasses.
The essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves.
A clean house is the sign of a broken computer.
He tells me that I am controlling just because I am standing up for myself. I am slowly getting it... there is no equal relationship. Only his needs, and trying to do the impossible... which is to satisfy his demands.
I want someone to tell me something different to give me some hope. Why? Is it codependence? Is it that I love him and our family as a whole?
I am visiting family in another state and am doing NC except to allow the children to speak to him. I do see this heading for divorce, today, tomorrow maybe something different.

It doesn't matter why. What matters is that you either resign yourself to stay and put up with being led on a string, or you leave. Too much thinking and analyzation is not a good thing because most NPD spouses are good people with real feelings. We forget that our NPD's have no moral compass whatsoever except what they should do at the moment, their only real feeling is rage, and they imitate all other feelings, even going so far as to try to mirror yours. The less they know what your real feelings are, the less ammo they have to use against you.

I feel like I'm just discovering the true asshole that I am married to. He told me the other day that I was narcissistic and controlling. My head nearly exploded. I was like where on earth did you get that from did our MC tell you that? He said no, but he has known that I have been narcissistic for a long time. I have done so much for him and our entire married life has revolved entirely around him, his schedule and his needs.
I am now afraid to express any of my true feelings to him. Like veritas said, he will claim them as his own, anything to distract and throw you off base.
you simply cannot win with these people.
can anyone compare/contrast the differences between npd and passive aggressive personality disorders?

Psychiatrists no longer recognize this condition as an official diagnosis. However, the symptoms are problematic to many people and may be helped by professional attention, so we include it here.
The causes are unknown, but a combination of genetic and environmental factors are probably responsible.
People with this disorder resent responsibility and show it through their behaviors, rather than by openly expressing their feelings. Procrastination, inefficiency, and forgetfulness are commonly used to avoid doing what they need to do or have been told by others to do.
A person with this disorder may appear to comply with another's wishes and may even demonstrate enthusiasm for them. However, the requested action is either performed too late to be helpful, performed in a way that is useless, or is otherwise sabotaged to express anger that cannot be expressed verbally.
Exams and Tests
Personality disorders are diagnosed by psychological evaluation and a careful history of the extent and time course of the symptoms. Some of the common signs of passive-aggressive personality disorder include:
Intentional inefficiency
Avoiding responsibility by claiming forgetfulness
Blaming others
Fear of authority (NPD usually don't fear authority because they feel they are above it)
Resistance to suggestions from others (just don't think anyone is as smart or has anything to offer them unless they are a source of supply)
Unexpressed anger or hostility (usually with NDP the anger is expressed, loudly and at a moments notice and then they forget that they ever blew up - Me angry? Never- truely rage is about the only real emotion they have)
Counseling may be of value in helping the person identify and change the behavior.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outcome can be good with treatment.
The Passive-agressive PD is no longer a recognized disorder and is instead just a maladaptive set of behaviours.
It also has good outcomes with therapy because these people are able to relate to the world around them in ways that allow them to see that their actions impact others and that they need to treat others well to be a functional part of society. Conversely people with NPD are so self-centered that the world around them doesn't exist other than to serve them. The world owes them something and if they don't get it they will rage or do whatever they need to get the result they expect. They are cameleons who will be anything to anyone to get the attention they need. (PA do not usually seek attention rather withdraw from it)
The 2 disorders are also the polar opposites in many ways.
As for the NPD telling you that you have this disorder or that one sounds like projection more than anything else. We have to be the problem because they can't be.
My ex still says I am controlling when I use my boundaries. It just means I am not giving him what he wants. I always take it as a sign that I am doing a good job.

That shoe landed right on the quote thread.
"Thuds" for me!
I am offering him a free and clear uncontested divorce on a silver platter. (Mainly because I don't have the money to fight things out in court. I am just about broke and treading water in limbo-land.) We've been apart for over a year now. All I need from him is a copy of his paystub and a signature. He doesn't even have to show up to court.
However, he is saying now that he doesn't want a divorce. That he wants the house and the car and our child. He's saying he wants primary custody of DD (ha!) and won't settle for just joint custody.
Seriously, I'm giving him a deal he thoroughly doesn't deserve. And still he tries to get more!
All I really want is my freedom and my maiden name back. I just want the darned divorce, and yet he balks.
If I contact the lawyer and have the papers drawn up, but he doesn't sign, the fee goes from $750 to thousands. So I can't call the lawyer until I know that he'll cooperate.
My question is, does anyone on here know how to negotiate with a narcissist? Is there any way to get a person like this to cooperate?
He plays these games with me because he likes to watch me get upset. He's so sick in the head. And what I want is so simple.
Final D-Day: August 2007.
Divorce finalized: 6-16-09
My question is, does anyone on here know how to negotiate with a narcissist? Is there any way to get a person like this to cooperate?
I would LOVE to know if this is possible. My WH does not want a divorce and I know he is going to make it hard for me to get one.

GAITHERSBURG, Md. (July 13, 2010) – Lt. Governor Anthony G. Brown addressed the Gaithersburg Rotary Club today in Gaithersburg at their weekly meeting, touching on a range of topics, including economic development and the O'Malley-Brown administration's commitment to helping Maryland's small business community survive this national recession and thrive for years to come.
"Because of our partnerships with community leaders and small business owners, we have made incredible progress in Maryland. We have built the best public school system in America and have made the tough choices to encourage job growth during this difficult economic recession," said Lt. Governor Brown. "I am proud to join the Gaithersburg Rotary Club today and look forward to continuing our shared efforts to make even greater progress and support and enhance the lives of our neighbors in Gaithersburg, in Montgomery County and across our entire state."
Since taking office, Governor Martin O'Malley and Lt. Governor Brown have fought to protect small businesses during the national economic downturn. In 2007, the administration passed legislation that provides small businesses with incentives to provide employees with health insurance – helping the state expand health care to more than 165,000 uninsured Marylanders. Brown also touted the administration's successful efforts to pass the Job Creation and Recovery Tax credit which provides a $5,000 tax credit to Maryland businesses for each unemployed Marylander it hires.
"It is with great honor that we welcome Lt. Governor Anthony Brown to the Rotary Club of Gaithersburg. We see this visit as a wonderful opportunity to learn about the plans and the vision of Lt. Governor Brown for the state of Maryland," said Teddy Cornejo, President of the Gaithersburg Rotary Club. "This is a venue to have a casual and yet constructive exchange of ideas and dialog to integrate the values we share with over 1.2 million Rotarians around the world with emphasis on our motto of 'Service Above Self.' We offer the Lt. Governor our best wishes in his endeavors and his commitment to public service to the City of Gaithersburg, to our beloved state of Maryland and to our blessed nation."
The Gaithersburg Rotary Club has been in operation since 1964 and currently has over 150 members. Their service projects include contributing to and working with local public schools, churches and the Boy Scouts of America. Rotary International is the world's oldest and largest service organization, with over 1.2 million members in some 33,000 clubs.
Brown hosts regular 'Coffee and Conversation' meetings with various organizations, small business leaders, unions and other groups in an effort to engage Marylanders on a range of issues and better understand the concerns of communities from across the state. Last month, Brown participated in 'Coffee and Conversation' series with Leisure World residents and members of Clinton's District V Coffee Club.

Last March, when water began dripping from the feet of a statue of Jesus in Mumbai, Edamauku visited the site to investigate the claim.
His investigation has infuriated some Catholic groups and leaders in Mumbai, and led to a larger debate about secularism in India.
Sanal Edamaruku is a devout rationalist. He believes that all phenomena can be explained by science. Edamaruku has taken it upon himself to travel around India disproving miracles. In 2010, on live television, he challenged a tantric who claimed he could kill a man with one look. He survived.
But Edamaruku says it's not just about theatrics, miracle men and superstitions are a deep problem in India.
"The problem is, unlike the small superstitions, like people being afraid of a cat crossing their way, in India, superstitions have a deeper impact," he said. "It's making them weak, and it's blinding them."
He points to many cases where people worry they've been the victim of witchcraft and actually kill the people they believe have cursed them.
I met Edamaruku three years ago in Delhi. But this time, we spoke over Skype, because he has decamped to Europe, for "an extended lecture tour." Few believe he'll be giving all that many speeches. Edamaruku faces jail time back home.
So what happened?

Nissan really wants to be the leader in electric vehicles. Maybe that's why it's being coy about how many they plan to sell.
Nissan executives have been notoriously optimistic about the electric vehicle market, and not without a vested interest: they hope to become the leading manufacturer of green cars. So far, the company's image has done well from the refresh. Nissan has received plenty of press for its aggressive pursuit of building lower-emissions vehicles and has run a big advertising campaign to reinforce that position in consumers' minds.
But some recent press seems to indicate they may be listening to their own hype. On Tuesday, it looked a lot like Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn told a crowd of reporters covering the market debut of Nissan's battery-fueled electric plug-in car that the company expected to sell 500,000 units during the 2013 year. (The New York Times coverage of Ghosn used the words "hit 500,000 units a year in three years.")
That's shooting very high. And apparently not actually the message the company was trying to convey. Fortune followed up with a Nissan (NSANF) spokesperson who clarified that Ghosn meant the company will be able to make 500,000 cars by 2013, even if consumer demand doesn't actually meet that number. The spokesperson said the company doesn't even forecast that far out. But being able to make half a million cars isn't the same as selling them, though that's the impression Ghosn probably made in most reporters' minds and notebooks. (When asked, Nissan said it wasn't in any rush to ask the Times for a clarification or correction.) More
The hot battery maker has a balance sheet problem -- lots of inventory of expensive EV batteries. It looks like the adoption curve for electric vehicles is flatter than anyone thought.

Better Place is working with GE to finance purchases of batteries for its switching stations and electric car system. But since most EVs come with the batteries built in, the financing won't be a panacea for the pricey new cars.
