Discit
This is also why, when men come into our live who are interested in our well-being and in our happiness and fulfillment, and who present the genuine possibility of a healthy relationship, we usually are not interested. And make no mistake: these kinds of men do come into our lives. Each of my clients who has loved too much has been able to recall at least one, often several, men whom she has described wistfully as "reall nice...so kind...actually cared about me..." Then usually comes the ironic smile and the question, "Now why didn't I stick with him?... I guess he was too nice huh?"
A better answer would be that his actions and our reactions... didn't mesh into a perfect duet. Although being in his company migh be pleasant, soothing, interesting and affirming, it is difficult for us to regard this kind of relationship as important and worth developing on a more serious level. Instead, such a man has usually been either quickly dropped or ignored, or at best regulated to the "just a friend" category, because he failed to arouse in use the heart pounding and stomach knotting we have come to call love..... what should feel good has come to feel foreign, suspect and uncomfortable. We have learned, by long and close association, to prefer the pain. A more healthy, loving man cannot play an important part in our life until we learn to let go of the need to relive the old struggle again and

Thousands of US troops land in Israel. Aircraft carrier coming soon (DEBKAfile) Exclusive Report 01/06/12 6:41 PM (GMT+02:00)
Thousands of US troops began descending on Israel this week. Senior US military sources told DEBKAfile Friday, Jan. 6 that many would be staying up to the end of the year as part of the US-IDF deployment in readiness for a military engagement with Iran and its possible escalation into a regional conflict. They will be joined by a US aircraft carrier. The warplanes on its decks will fly missions with Israeli Air Force jets. The 9,000 US servicemen gathering in Israel in the coming weeks are mostly airmen, missile interceptor teams, marines, seamen, technicians and intelligence officers.
The incoming American soldiers are officially categorized as participants in Austere Challenge 12, the biggest joint US-Israeli war game ever held.

but clothes is not all
Here is the simple truth about Cary Grant: he was the best and most important actor of the last hundred years. He didn’t reinvent acting like Brando, he didn’t fatten himself up like Robert De Niro or starve himself like Christian Bale. He wasn’t burly like Gable, and he didn’t smolder like Mitchum. Instead, he played slight variations on the same character for the majority of his career, he wore a suit better than anyone in Hollywood, and he made acting seem like living. Over the course of his long career, Grant fixed standards of what it meant to be “debonair” and “a man about town” — everything he did, on screen and off, seemed inflected with panache and grace. Or, as my professor from undergrad used to sum him up: “The man knew how to wear clothes.” Indeed he fucking did.

to Alama you should return
The song “Naci en Alamo” (“I Was Born in Alamo”)[you tube rendition] is a soulful and stirring lament of Gypsies living in Europe today. It’s a song about displacement and homelessness and ultimately about nostalgia for a birthplace that was never home. There is no home, there is no homeland, there is no place of origin.
No tengo lugar
Y no tengo paisaje
Yo menos tengo patria
Naci en Alamo
I have no place
And I have no landscape
Still less do I have a homeland
I was born in Alamo
Like the history of the Gypsies, the song itself has become an archaeological enigma. It has crossed so many borders and been sung in so many languages that it is no longer easy to determine its roots or which precise Alamo, in either Spain or Portugal, the song is about. Even now, Naci en Alamo roams a pathless Odyssey around the Mediterranean, no less homeless than a Gypsy. The word “Gypsy” itself turns out to be a conundrum as well. Gypsies, who speak Romany, refer to themselves as Roma, not with the exonym Gypsy. (Roma is the plural for Rom, meaning “man”—no relation to Romania.) “Gypsy” in English, just like the word gyftos in Greek, may be derived from gipcya, with a possible derivation from egipcien, because Gypsies were mysteriously believed to come from Egypt—which also means from far away, from elsewhere, or just simply from goodness-knows-where. Etymological dictionaries also suggest that the word might derive from the Greek for untouchables, athinganoi, hence zingaro in Italian, tsigane and gitan in French, gitano in Spanish, ţigan in Romanian, cigano in Portuguese. The real origin of the word, like the real origin of the people, is lost in time. There is no origin.

god particle
Weizmann Institute of Science astrophysicists have been prominent in the experiments that have shown “promising signs” of the existence of the Higgs boson — the “God particle” — that provides a framework for all of the subatomic particles in nature and has been sought for decades.
Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the CERN research center in Switzerland said in an excited announcement on Tuesday that it found some evidence in its experiments of the existence of the elementary particle. It was suggested in 1964 by six physicists, including University of Edinburgh physicist Peter Higgs whom it was named after, as a way to explain mass.
The sub-atomic particle called Higgs is the one piece of the Standard Model of Particle Physics that has not been proven to exist, and some scientists believe that the model will have to be rethought if the Higgs is not found.

How monotonously
How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerors have been: how gloriously different the saints.
