Messi is looking great. Really enjoyed the match v AC Milan.
Real Madrid is so very strong right now and of course just knocked Barca out of the Copa del Rey. Favorites have to be Barcelona and Real Madrid. Barcelona will have a great incentive to avenge their loss...on the other hand, Real is still the team who beat them two weeks ago with a combination of great defense and vicious attack. Great ball. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7Aj7f-UM2A |

Actually the speed of light is 299,792,458 m/sec. It is not hard to measure and spacetime exists. Entangled photons exist too and their polarizations are linked but they do not communicate so there is no contradiction with the speed of light. Once they are entangled, they have opposite polarizations that is all. It is like if you take a penny and press it into some clay. The clay retains a negative image of the penny showing Lincoln's head. If you take the clay to New York and the penny to Los Angeles the clay will still have a negative image of the penny. Except it is with photons.  the only difference is that the clay doesn't move when the penny moves... the protons do it does not matter how the photons or particles are moving... the two entities are related by quantum mechanics and when you make a measurement of the polarization of one of them you make a measurement of the polarization of both of them. this is essentially different from everyday experience but there are a lot of things about quantum mechanics which are quite different from our usual experience. nonetheless...going back to the analogy with the clay... if you don't know which one is clay and which one is copper then when you measure one of them and it is found to be convex then the other one is automatically concave since they are formed together and their states are forever connected...as is the case with the photons...

Types of Emotional Abuse Emotional abuse can take many forms. Three general patterns of abusive behavior include aggressing, denying, and minimizing. Aggressing Aggressive forms of abuse include name-calling, accusing, blaming, threatening, and ordering. Aggressing behaviors are generally direct and obvious. The one-up position the abuser assumes by attempting to judge or invalidate the recipient undermines the equality and autonomy that are essential to healthy adult relationships. This parent-to-child pattern of communication (which is common to all forms of verbal abuse) is most obvious when the abuser takes an aggressive stance. Aggressive abuse can also take a more indirect form and may even be disguised as “helping.” Criticizing, advising, offering solutions, analyzing, probing, and questioning another person may be a sincere attempt to help. In some instances, however, these behaviors may be an attempt to belittle, control, or demean rather than help. The underlying judgmental “I know best” tone the abuser takes in these situations is inappropriate and creates unequal footing in peer relationships. Denying Invalidating seeks to distort or undermine the recipient’s perceptions of their world. Invalidating occurs when the abuser refuses or fails to acknowledge reality. For example, if the recipient confronts the abuser about an incident of name calling, the abuser may insist, “I never said that,” “I don’t know what you’re talking about, “ etc. Withholding is another form of denying. Withholding includes refusing to listen, refusing to communicate, and emotionally withdrawing as punishment. This is sometimes called the “silent treatment.” Countering occurs when the abuser views the recipient as an extension of themselves and denies any viewpoints or feelings which differ from their own. Minimizing Minimizing is a less extreme form of denial. When minimizing, the abuser may not deny that a particular event occurred, but they question the recipient’s emotional experience or reaction to an event. Statements such as “You’re too sensitive,” “You’re exaggerating,” or “You’re blowing this out of proportion” all suggest that the recipient’s emotions and perceptions are faulty and not to be trusted. Trivializing, which occurs when the abuser suggests that what you have done or communicated is inconsequential or unimportant, is a more subtle form of minimizing. Denying and minimizing can be particularly damaging. In addition to lowering self-esteem and creating conflict, the invalidation of reality, feelings, and experiences can eventually lead you to question and mistrust your own perceptions and emotional experience. Learn to love yourself... I think that some of the above descriptions although well intentioned are overbroad. Attempts to help are usually simple attempts to help and not manipulative. It is generally inappropriate to label attempts to help as "aggression". "Countering" is not abusive in general since everyone has differences in opinion. It could only be abusive if it was incredibly extreme and pervasive. "Minimizing" likewise could only be abusive if it is pervasive and extreme. People are too sensitive, blow things out of proportion and exaggerate all the time without any abuse involved. There is no doubt that consistent attempts to be manipulative and controlling are abusive. There is no doubt that aggressive behavior is abusive. But one has to be very careful in throwing around some of this terminology because most of the instances of being helpful, or expressing an opposing point of view or discussing whether or not someone is being overly sensitive or exaggerating are not in the least abusive situations. Abuse is too serious a thing to be misrepresented and misinterpreted. |

Don't get me wrong. I did not find anything bad at all about your
posts. I think body modification is overdone in general too. I have advised several friends that they did not need it at all and usually they decided to do it anyway and I told them that if they decided it was important to them that it would not bother me at all even if I thought they were beautiful enough without any additional body work!

At what age......

I guess I never "settled down" and I guess I never will.
For me, I always wanted to find a great partner, marry and have a family. Many of my close relatives had large fun families and I am very playful and really enjoy children and always wanted to have at least a few kids of my own. I envisioned this happening in my mid-20s. It just didn't happen for me. Eventually at 44 I did have a couple of kids and they are the greatest. But I don't find that it settled me down. I am off doing stuff with them, working hard, playing every day, going to the gym and just as active and wild as ever. Got a house in the burbs and minivan and the whole 9 yards and nothing got simple or settled and I guess it never will. I can live with that.

Culture encouraging fatness?

I agree with your comments regarding education. We definitely need
better "Health and Fitness" education in our society. In the US, we have a wide variety of unhealthy lifestyle trends. Bad nutrition abounds. Not enough physical exercise is the rule. Our Physcal Education classes are not keeping pace. My personal opinion is that unhealthy diet is the single worst offender. I am very much encouraged by the recent efforts to promote healthier diet at school cafeterias for example but I think we have to do much better in educating everyone about how to have healthier diets and lifestyles and our government should support as much as possible individual efforts to improve diet and physical activity. Obesity is clearly the number one health problem in the US. It is a national tragedy and diet is the single most important contributing factor. We all need to eat lower calorie and more nutritious diets while getting regular exercise to maintain and improve our health and longevity.

Well I have to say that cosmetic surgery is done in excess in general.
The most glaring examples being Michael Jackson's nose and multiple facelifts of Joan Rivers and the like. The rampant use of breast implants is surely ridiculous in my opinion because I don't think that one has to have large breasts to be attractive. I am more of a leg man. On the other hand, it doesn't bother me all that much if any individual who can afford it chooses to spend their money on a facelift, tatoo, breast implants or hair transplant. These cosmetic procedures are really not essentially different from hair dye or a pedicure and nail polish. We all do things to affect our appearance be it depilatory shaving, tooth whitening, clothing or eyeliner. It is really only a matter of degree. Personally, I do not wish to spend excessively in this area for myself but if it enhances someone's self-image and improves their life by making them feel better about taking care of themselves and the ravages of time and life experience on their bodies in various ways then I don't think we should guilt trip anybody. Live and let live you know....And may we all find comfort and happiness. |

The most important place to cut "Wasteful Spending" is by cutting
Congress itself. My suggestion is that we go to a single Senator per State and limit the maximum number of members of the House of Representatives to 5 per State and require that the House could not have more than 150 delegates under any circumstances. I would still suggest that the States be represented by at least 1 House member but those states with larger numbers of reps would have to do with fewer. That would certainly simplify the negotiations, cut the various spending interests, eliminate half of the cost of our legislature and their wasteful initiatives. Also, there would be less campaigning and lobbying cost which are a significant legislative overhead cost. It has to be a good move. Let's go for some real legislative reform for a change. I don't buy the argument that a smaller Congress could not represent the citizenry well enough. |
