Kayla’s husband Jon is an expert at getting out of things he doesn’t want to do. He “forgets” to stop by the store on the way home from work when he doesn’t want to be bothered. If he doesn’t want to help Kayla with the house cleaning, he does such a poor job that she ends up redoing his part.

Outwardly, Jon is agreeable and compliant. When Kayla asks him to do something, he’ll generally say “okay” or nod in agreement. Kayla has been let down so many times now that she’ll generally grill Jon on whether he will really remember to pick up the milk on the way home or drop off the cleaning.

Each time he promises to remember, and sometimes he actually does follow through. But much of the time he never has any intention of doing what he doesn’t want to be inconvenienced by. He has found that it’s easier to say “yes” when asked and then offer an excuse.

Jon has become an expert at sabotaging Kayla’s efforts to get him to take on more responsibility with the kids and housework. He has “taught” her that he can’t be depended on and that if she wants to be sure something is done right, she’ll have to do it.

Kayla has begun thinking that she doesn’t really have two children, but instead that she really has three, counting her spouse. Behavior that was age-appropriate when Jon was five and deliberately “forgetting” to put his toys away after being asked isn’t appropriate or helpful now as an adult. In fact, a pattern of passive-aggressive behavior can destroy intimacy and happiness in a marriage.

Hidden Anger and Manipulation Create “Crazy-Making Behavior”

Individuals with passive-aggressive behavior express their anger and hostility through indirect, passive actions. Instead of saying “I don’t think it’s fair that you expect me to clean the bathroom,” he ( or she) doesn’t protesthe just never gets around to doing it.

Then, when the mate eventually explodes after numerous frustrating experiences, the passive-aggressive partner just looks at the mate calmly, making her feel like the crazy one. He always has rationalizations and excuses ready and never takes responsibility or admits he’s at fault in any way. He always blames someone or something else.

He can be so convincing that sometimes the partner will find herself apologizing for getting so upset with him. Thus, the manipulation comes full circle and now the spouse still has the original problem on her shouldersnot enough help from her husband. He has “won” because he knows that he can get off the hook again whenever he needs to.

Sarcasm and Sabotage Can Also Be Indicators

The passive-aggressive spouse knows the weak spots of his partner and is often practiced in using sarcastic and cruel remarks under the guise of “humor.” He’ll say that the mate is too serious or doesn’t have a sense of humor if she objects, but the “humor” is barbed with hostility and criticismanother indirect way of getting back at a partner instead of expressing feelings directly and looking for solutions.

Many wives have had their diets sabotaged by a passive-aggressive husband who suddenly started bringing home candy or encouraging the wife to have dessert “just this one time.” Fear of the spouse becoming too attractive and being noticed by other men is generally at the root of this type of passive-aggressive behavior.

On the surface, the husband may sound supportive, but he is really working to sabotage the wife’s efforts to improve her looks and wellbeing. He is threatened by it and doesn’t want her to succeed.

What Can You Do?

Since the goal of passive-aggressive individuals is to resist demands from others, frustration and anger follows them wherever they goespecially in a marriage relationship.

They are often critical, negative, “forgetful,” sullen, resentful, and complaining. In addition, they are procrastinators and their performance on tasks they don’t want to do is substandard.

The following recommendations provide a starting place for a frustrated partner:

1. When your spouse makes a snide remark or uses sarcasm or barbed humor, calmly tell him that you don’t find that way of communicating feelings acceptable. Stop what you’re doing and sit down with him.

State that he must be having some strong feelings to have made a remark like that and you’d rather he just come right out and tell you what he’s feeling.

Whatever you do, don’t ignore the barbs or pretend you didn’t hear them when you did. Confront him with what he’s doing but without being drawn into an argument or becoming sidetracked by the excuses.

2. Know that when your intuition or “gut feeling” is that you’re being manipulated or taken advantage of by the excuses and rationalizations or lack of response, you probably are right.

Trust your intuition about this. It will help you to resist falling into the trap of taking on blame that’s not yours and thinking that it’s “all you.”

3. When your spouse uses passive-aggressive behavior, state what you see happening and how confusing that is for you. Tell him that it’s harming your marriage relationship for him not to be direct with you.

Say that what he is doing is dishonest and manipulative and that you see through it, and if he values the marriage, he’ll make an effort to change.

4. This is one time to take a tough stand on the necessity for marriage counseling. There are many issues that the two of you need to work on, including communication and anger.

5. If your spouse absolutely refuses to go to counseling, then make an appointment for yourself. Individual counseling can give you the resources and strength to confront your spouse’s passive-aggressive behavior and pave the way for more direct communication.

6. Remind yourself that you didn’t cause the passive-aggressive behavior. It’s not your fault. This pattern was in place before you married.

If your husband exhibits this behavior with you, you can bet that you’re not the only one who sees this side of him. You can suggest counseling, but in the final analysis, it’s your husband’s problem.

7. The decisions you have to make are how to respond to the passive-aggressive behavior and what to do if your husband refuses to change or seek help.

The counselor you are working with can help you to handle these hurdles and to decide if a marital separation might be an appropriate way to get your husband’s full attention if nothing else works.

From our deconstruction of hundreds of Hollywood blockbusters….

The Hero’s Journey is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the Hollywood movies we have deconstructed are based on this template.

Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters.

The Hero’s Journey:

a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.

b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.

c) Interpreted metaphorically, laterally and symbolically, allows an infinite number of varied stories to be created.

Well, let’s begin from philosophical introduction. It is probably moving into this direction, all the recent talks about offshore development, remote support, customization project outsourcing, BPO (business processes outsourcing). And the final result will be so-called radical compromise, meaning it is not a regular compromise, but rather something we do not know about. In order to predict the future form of Oracle Applications/Fusion support we have to look at the trends.

• Market Trends. When we see that traditional manufacturing is now outsourced to China, India, Brazil, Latin America, Mexico, South East Asia – we should question if traditional ERP support will stay in the local framework and model, when consultants go onsite, sit the day with corporate IT, CEO, Controller and key AR/AP people to design the MRP model. In fact – communication channel advances allow you to be present in the conference virtually and do not feel strong disadvantages of not being able to shake opponent hands. If you are in USA, Europe, Australia, New Zealand – do you really care if get phone/skype/websession support, not peer-to-peer?

• Step-by-Step. Well, we have to be conservative in order to be profitable and mutually beneficial. Let’s start from small – assume that remote support and outsourcing are for Oracle E-Business Suite Extensions & Customizations, Oracle Report Builder design & development, plus typical customer support cases, when you as a client are OK to call 800 number

• International Challenge. This is when Oracle Applications has to be supported in their localized (multicurrency, local and regional taxation and language: Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Russian). This is definitely the obstacle, however we see more examples when company has employees from Argentina, Brazil, Haiti, Montreal, China sitting in the same office…

• Conclusion. Probably the most likely scenario will be the one when you will have to accept the conception of virtual reality.

So maybe you haven’t grasped casino gambling, read on… A valid description of a betting saloon is an edifice that offers games of chance. At such a place, visitors are expected to test their luck at the slot-machines or plenty of other games. Betting establishment games ordinarily have methodically determined probabilities informing them that guarantee the saloon reserves its edge against the gamesters.

Numerous casino games can goad you into being overly obsessed rapidly. We can look at the time-honored slot machine, a coin operated gadget with 3+ discs that spin when a crank on its side is wrenched. This instrument on the whole remits correlating with a string of pictures shown on the front panel of the gadget. Disastrously, betting saloon pastimes allow the semblance of having the upper hand, conning the customer: the addressee is conceded judgments, but in actual fact these cannot hope to realistically remove the patron’s negative odds. That is brought about by the the betting saloon never repaying the full sum as hoped for. This systematic method is repeatedly noticeable in well-known casino games like straight poker, craps, roulette or blackjack.

Five-card stud poker is doubtlessly a very fashionable casino game. The gaming enthusiasts, jealously guarding their either fully or partially hidden cards, will bet into a pot in the center which is then awarded to the last punter endowed with highest combination of cards. (Of course, the shameless bluff may well prevail as well.) Quite like poker, blackjack is also an immensely fashionable casino game. A considerable chunk of its appeal is by virtue of the mix of chance and craft and decision making, not to forget a routine named Card Counting. It is a particularly complex technique through which gaming aficionados will actually reverse the arm of chance of the card game to lend them an advantage both by wagering and strategy actions corresponding with the hands dealt.

Craps is yet another acclaimed casino wagering game utilizing the roll of two dice. Gamesters are placing bets on the score of 1 cycle, or on a series of spins of 2 dice. Dissimilar to blackjack, there is no proven sustainable killer strategy people can employ to boost the chances. Roulette is a prominent game during which a croupier turns a roulette wheel featuring a set of 37 (French roulette) or, alternatively thirty-eight (Vegas roulette) differently marked receptacles in which a white ball will settle, marking the winner Assuming that the gamer happens to place chips on a single number and makes it meaning they are enjoying a lucky hand, the promised profit is 35:1, the original bet proper being rebated. Accordingly in total it’s multiplied by a factor of 36.

Please try to be very watchful under all circumstances for these betting hall pastimes can be highly habit forming. There’s far too many lives that are known to have been wrecked through addictive gambling & whereas it indisputably feels enjoyable, please do strive to regulate yourself.

PREFACE

What follows is a rough draft transcript (subject to change when I actually give it) of my inaugural address (presumably in Washington, D. C.?) before global television at the Great White Throne Judgment of the Dead, after I have raptured out billions! – corpses laying on the ground – a fairy dump – rabbits running in the ditch. Feel free to believe what I’ve set down here are the ravings of a madman, because that is precisely what they are! I have assembled this book in a series of vignettes. Norman O. Brown, my mentor, used a similar technique. You’ll find I use terminology that may seem alien to Christianity: wizards, witches and fairies, etc. Part of the problem that the King James Bible mistranslated the word sorcery referring to potions. This is strictly adult material. This is off limits to children, and this means you. If your jaw didn’t drop when you read my 1986 booklet, I 100% guarantee it will drop now. So, finally, it all begins next page!

MY INAUGURAL ADDRESS AT THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT OF THE DEAD

Introducing Myself

(The time is midnight E.S.T. I stand before global television to explain my rapturing out billions. I made the broadcast at this hour to help prevent the possibility that any children would see this, although in different time zones around the world children are up). Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I’m addressing you from Washington, D.C., the political capital of Hell. I have descended here to the pit of Hell to address you. Before I begin, I want to insist that no children view this broadcast. This is off limits to anyone under 12 years old. Leave the room, and go to bed! You will find that I talk fast, that I change the subject frequently, and in general it will come across as incoherent gibberish. You’ll wake up tomorrow morning and go ‘what did he say?’ You’ll try to remember, but you’ll have a hard time. I urge you to record this address, and to watch it several times, as each time you’ll pick up more.

You’ll notice that I will be talking a lot about myself this evening. This is because the more you know about where I’m coming from, the better off you’ll be. Let me formally introduce myself. You’ve seen me before, but now I’m going to reveal who I really am. Have you ever seen a ghost? Have you ever seen a spook? Now you can say you’ve seen a ghost. I’m the ghost with the most. I’m the space ghost. You have seen many ghosts. My colleagues are on practically every street corner in every city around the world, ranting and raving and spouting gibberish. When you look at me you’ll see that I have no eyes – empty sockets instead (waving my hand in front of my face). I am an invisible man. There is no person here, never has been and never will be. You are looking at a total vacuum. There is nothing here – only empty air. When you look at me you see no person – you are looking directly at my Id – my unconscious. And most people find it highly disturbing to look at the face of the Lord, my face.

In fact, I’m a raving lunatic, and this insanity I have is a deadly poison. Most of my fellow mad people are bottom feeders. With this disease, we are incompetent to keep ourselves together, and we fall to the bottom, with many becoming homeless, committing suicide or drugging themselves into oblivion. It makes us into total misfits. DOAs – Dead on Arrival. Jesus, a poor Jewish peasant, was a bottom feeder also. When you’re on the bottom, you look up at all the so-called leaders, and you know that all of them are the wrong people. As Jesus said, it is wisdom hidden from the wise, but given to babes. If you have ears to hear, Jesus was himself also mad. The gods must be crazy! Jesus was very sensitive to natural disasters, because like them as a madman he was walking dynamite liable to explode at a moment’s notice with all the force of an earthquake. Jesus was a piece of human waste – human garbage. And so am I. A significant number of theologians, and I also, believe Jesus was the bastard son of a Roman centurion. The idea of virgin birth arose because an Old Testament scripture was mistranslated. We the gods live in a parallel universe right next door to this one. I stepped through the looking glass on my mission.

Just like Jesus, I am here to serve. I don’t want you to worship me. You don’t have to believe a thing I say. Believe what you want. For example, you may believe I’m the Antichrist, which I deny. But believe what you want. Your beliefs don’t concern me. I’m her to straighten out your behavior, specifically, as you will see, your behavior in the bedroom. That is the special mission I’m on.
When you see me, you’ve seen the father. Every eye shall see him. There can be only one.

Retired.
Important note: Read my 1986 booklet (at http://www.angelfire.com/crazy/spaceman/) before you read this.

It’s easy to overlook medical insurance while planning a college education. At that age, the last thing on a student’s mind is medical insurance. When you are in your twenties you will usually believe that you are immortal and of course you will never develop illness.

Regrettably, this is rarely the case however fit an individual may be. Inexpensive student health insurance isn’t simply for those with a lot of money, it is really a necessity.

For students who are covered under their family insurance policy, virtually all of them should include a student until they turn twenty-three. For the individual who doesn’t currently have insurance cover via a parent’s insurance, looking into an alternative plan for affordable student health insurance should be an integral part of budgeting for college. So what should a student look out for in health insurance directed at college students? Deductibles: This is a yearly payment which has to be made before any medical benefits begin, similar to an auto deductible. For instance, should your deductible be $500, $500 must be paid prior to receiving any financial benefits from the plan.

So what precisely does co-pay mean? Once you meet the deductible, most plans expect you to contribute a part of the bill of each doctor’s visit, medicinal drug or operation. This is called a co-pay.

Just what does the medical insurance extend to? Many health insurance policies are Health Maintenance Organization and PPA. This can mean particular doctors may possibly be excluded from your authorized medical professionals or not be covered by your medical insurance plan. Most programs should provide a directory of participating professionals, before making your choice be sure to look at the options thoroughly.

Catastrophic health insurance coverage: Limitations are commonplace in student medical insurance plans as far as terminal illnesses, the extent of cover provided in virtually all student medical insurance policies is generally less than any standard insurance plan. And what about the limits? Restrictions are common in a lot of college student medical insurance. Read over your insurance policy and discover what is and is not covered. Have your medical insurance papers safe at all times. It’s not only not possible to plan for an accident or an illness, they’re also likely to come about when you don’t anticipate them. Acquaint yourself with your student health insurance plan, whether through your parents or you have taken your own choice of insurance.

You perhaps could be shocked what total number of people that go through financial issues in their life. As a consequence, bad debt will likely arise. Families sometimes may confront these challenges because of work loss, divorce, bereavement or just poor individual financial supervision. Small companies characteristically encounter these problems within the 1st few years of business. At fault for a company failure can stretch from greater competition, accidents, loss of big clients to identify some. No matter the reason, bad-debt might lead to insolvency. On the other hand, there are alternatives to bankruptcy that can preserve your personal credit report or your business credit.

Insolvency can be described as a lack of ability of a family or a partnership to meet money owed to their creditors. When you file, the debt holder (the company or you) is bound to surrender all exemption free real property and possessions for cut-rate sale. While individual assets are held, you will likewise subscribe a particular portion of your earned revenue to the creditors based on an agreed upon repayment plan. Your FICO grading will become zero for a long time, meaning that you won’t be able to obtain funding for whatever personal or business establishment for a extended time.

The stress and head aches brought on by by these outstanding financial indebtedness can be distressing, to say the least, specially when the consideration of registering insolvency sneaks in to your mind. In these situations, it remains primary to remember that you own options. It is essential to seek out the options, such as a fiscal advisory who can create a debt settlement program for you.

perhaps you are wondering why a financier will want to work with you to resolve the debt remember that negotiation is an substitute for them too. In particular insolvency judicial decisions a bank holding nonsecured paper may get nothing at all. Notwithstanding, after their client works out a negotiation the creditor will at least get back a share, if perhaps not all, of the debt the banks possess. Consider also that when totaling up the accrual that has been sent in before along with the past due fees and over-limit penalties the creditors may have possibly billed, the financial institute could be satisfied even prior to the liquidation plan.

Debt negotiation is an exceedingly beneficial alternative compared to bankruptcy for you, as a private citizen or a business owner. In particular when take the future into consideration. Bankruptcy should be averted at all costs giving consideration to the fact that borrowing will be near unimaginable for any individual or business organization you may have at a later date. On that point, there is no blank canvas; bankruptcy will follow you wherever you go. No matter what variety of debt you have incurred, always look out for a debt negotiation plan as the preferred option when contemplating financial insolvency.

Peter Mayle was born in England in 1939.

His fascination with France began at the age ofseventeen when, as the ‘lowliest trainee’ in Shell, hewas instructed to accompany his boss – a Mr. Jenkins -on a trip to Paris, and discovered that there was moreto life than fish-and-chips. Jenkins, needless to say,was a caricature of the Englishman abroad(“personally, I never eat anything I can’tpronounce”).

In his twenties he went to New York and becameadvertising copywriter for David Ogilvy. He laterreturned to England to a comfortable life inadvertising, with a salary higher than the PrimeMinister’s.

At age 35, after ‘one committee meeting too many’, heleft his career as an advertising executive and movedwith his wife and children to Devon in the south ofEngland to write children’s books.

In 1974 one of his books – ‘Where Did I Come From’ -became a best-seller, but because of an unfavorabledeal with the publisher, the book didn’t make himwealthy.

In his late 40’s Peter Mayle moved with his third wifeto Provence in the south of France, where theyrenovated an old farmhouse.

Their experiences became the subject for ‘A Year inProvence’ which was an instant success and spent threeyears on the New York Times best-seller list. It wastranslated into twenty languages and turned into a BBCseries.

‘A Year in Provence’ was followed by ‘ToujoursProvence’ and ‘Encore Provence’.

But his new-found fame came at a cost. Hordes oftourists and reporters descended on Provence lookingfor the writer and his house.

Not realizing the book would become a best-seller,Peter Mayle had given an accurate description of thelocation of his house in the opening pages of ‘A YearIn Provence’.

Plagued with unwanted visitors, and suddenly unpopularwith the locals, Peter Mayle fled with his wife to Long Island.

Four years later, when the hue and cry had died down,he returned to France and bought a large house nearAvignon.

Peter Mayle’s success with the Provence books spawneda new genre in travel writing – books by Englishmenwho leave the cold wet island, set up house insunnier climes and then write about the curious habitsof the locals. There’s even a phrase for it: “Doing aPeter Mayle”.
