Confessions of a Favorite Daughter

Got a burning question for Prudie? She'll be online at Washingtonpost.com to chat with readers each Monday at noon. Because of the Labor Day holiday, the next chat will take place Tuesday, Sept. 4. Submit your questions and comments here before or during the live discussion.

Dear Prudie,
I am a 23-year-old woman, and I have a sister three years younger who has always been treated as a second-class daughter by our parents. I was always "the smart one," "the slim one," "the determined one," while my sister was constantly told that she was dumb, fat, and lazy. This has created massive psychological problems for my sister: She is unemployed and barely got through high school. (My mother did almost all of her homework.) She lives with our mother, suffers from eating disorders, depression, and, in the past, substance abuse and cutting. I dealt with my own effects from the favoritism, which included narcissism and difficulty empathizing until I was in my teens. But I have been successful at school and work. My sister and I have spoken candidly about this blatant favoritism and have managed to piece together a fairly healthy relationship. I thought that there is not much point in risking estranging myself from my parents over this issue. But recently I was out with my mother and she made a comment to me about how when I was a baby, she and my dad would spend hours just gazing at me, how she never did that with my sister, and how I was ?just easier to love.? That made me think it may be necessary to confront my parents about their favoritism. I just don?t know how to go about this, especially since I want to be a responsible advocate for my sister and not make things worse for her.

Dear Golden,
Let?s go back to Psychology 101. Perhaps your mother, upon your birth, felt you fulfilled her ideal vision of herself. Here was a perfect, beautiful being that she created, a manifestation of everything she wanted to be. Then your your sister came along, and your mother projected onto her all her own worst qualities. As long as your mother?s own negative traits were embodied by your sister, you and your mother could mutually reflect only golden things back to each other. This is all armchair speculation, of course (my m?tier), but what?s indisputable is that your parents were grossly destructive and both their children have paid a price. I applaud you for recognizing the continuing damage your parents are doing to your sister, for having the desire to help her, and for recognizing there was a cost to being the perfect one. It?s also admirable that you have forged an honest and supportive relationship with your sister. How sad for her that she is so emotionally disabled that she?s now trapped with the abuser who shredded her sense of self. For advice on how you approach trying to change things, I spoke to Washington D.C. psychologist Ellen Weber Libby, author of The Favorite Child. Libby advises that you should use your privileged position with your parents to say there?s something you would like them to do for you to make you a happier person.

Say that your relationship with your sister is very important to you, and you want it to be improved. You can say you feel the family is not functioning as well as it could, and you would like all of you to go to family therapy together. It?s unclear whether your parents are divorced, but even if they are, if they are on reasonable terms they could attend together. Libby?s hunch is that your mother will refuse, so in that case say it would be a great gift to you if your parents could pay for you and your sister to go to therapy together. (She suggests looking for referrals at the the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy website.) Whether or not you are successful in recruiting your parents, once in therapy you and your sister can explore the burdens of one child being all good, the other all bad, and the psychic distortions imposed on you by your parents. But the ultimate goal is helping your sister forge a healthier identity and personal independence. Your sister is still a young woman and as terrible as things have been, Libby says that with the right help she can begin the process of creating a completely different life. She?s lucky she has you on her side.

Dear Prudence,
My husband "Jack" was raised in poverty by a single teenage mother, and she refuses to tell him, or anyone, who his father is. The last time he asked her was more than a decade ago. She told him it was none of his business and never to ask again or she would stop speaking to him. His siblings know who their fathers are; only Jack has been left in the dark. The lack of family history caused him a tremendous amount of embarrassment and condescension growing up. Even now it?s awkward in social situations. As a result, he is highly self-conscious about his background. I'm proud that he was able to pull himself out of poverty and become successful. However, he still feels a strong sense of loss and wants to know who the man is, even if he never meets him. Now that we are considering children, we are also concerned about potential health issues on his father's side. Should we bring up the subject of Jack?s father again to my mother-in-law? Are there any options if she continues to refuse to tell?

?Looking To Open Pandora's Box

Dear Pandora,
Indeed there may be things that fly out of the box that your husband should be prepared to contemplate. It could be that your mother simply doesn?t know who Jack?s father is because there are too many candidates. It could be that she doesn?t know because she was raped. It could be that she knows, but she has kept her mouth shut about the father, uncle, or cousin who sexually assaulted her, and she?s determined to keep that horror a secret. Her dismissive behavior toward Jack is indefensible, but I doubt she?ll change. You two could approach her and say whatever the truth is, however painful, you hope she can understand how much Jack wants to know. Be prepared to be rebuffed. Hiring a private investigator is a next step, but that could be costly, and without Jack?s mother?s cooperation an investigation might not produce an answer. I understand there?s a hole in Jack?s life, but maybe it would help him be at more peace to realize he?s not alone. Many people never knew their fathers. Jack Nicholson is one. Bill Clinton is another. Clinton was told his was a traveling salesman who died before Clinton was born. But research by Clinton biographer David Maraniss raised some doubts and Clinton?s paternity remains unclear. You two shouldn?t worry about what might be lurking in Jack?s unknown father?s gene pool?usually there?s nothing dramatic, and Jack?s good health should reassure you both. As for social awkwardness, you husband needs to practice saying with confidence and equanimity, ?My father was not a part of my life.?

Dear Prudie,
After five years together, my partner and I have decided to get married. I've been starting the wedding planning and drawing up the guest list. My problem is whether to invite my uncle. He served as a state elected official and during that time he voted in favor of our state's constitutional ban on gay marriage. A part of me thinks that I should send the invite in the hope that he attends and changes his mind. However, another part of me doesn't want him present at this event if he isn't supportive. I don't want to offend my parents or any other family by not inviting him, and his absence would indeed be notable. At this point I'm leaning toward not inviting him.

How Apple Geniuses get inside our heads

Step into an Apple Store with a computer question, and you'll notice that the Geniuses have a peculiar way of empathizing with your situation before selling you new products. A leaked Apple training manual, uncovered by Gizmodo on Tuesday, shows the company's idiosyncratic approach to sales.

By Jeff Ward-Bailey / August 28, 2012

An Apple training manual uncovered by Gizmodo tells the company's Geniuses how to empathize with customers -- but it also includes lists of forbidden words and other psychological tricks. Here, shoppers walk by an Apple Store in Toronto, Canada.

Veteran Apple-watchers have often heard the phrase ?Reality Distortion Field? applied to the company and its products. It?s a tongue-in-cheek way of referring to the apparently magical sway that iPads and Macs hold over customers, and it?s never more apparent than when you walk into a gleaming Apple store. If you?ve ever wondered how those blue-shirted Geniuses are so good at empathizing with you, then convincing you that you need a 17-inch Macbook Pro, you might be interested to learn that the Reality Distortion Field comes in book form.

On Tuesday Gizmodo revealed that it has a leaked copy of the Genius Student Training Workbook, Apple?s secret 14-day boot camp that mixes technical skills with self-help-style psychological tips designed to allow one to cheer up customers and solve Genius Bar confrontations.

It apparently leans pretty heavily toward the latter -- Gizmodo writer Sam Biddle says ?almost the entire volume? is dedicated to the psychology of sales. The manual, and the accompanying course, is designed to get trainees to embody the ?Genius Actions and Characteristics,? which include graceful education and persuasive recommendation. A happy customer is one who will buy more products, after all.

The most interesting part of the manual is the list of words that Apple employees shouldn?t say. Your computer didn?t ?bomb,? ?crash,? or ?hang,? for example -- it ?unexpectedly quit? or ?stopped responding.? And Geniuses aren?t in the business of fixing ?bugs? -- they?re responding to ?conditions? or even to ?situations.? The manual also adds that an Apple product is never hot -- at most, it?s ?warm.? (Remember back in 2006, when Apple recalled all those batteries after two users got burned by their laptops? Those must have been pretty "warm.")

The Genius Workbook also gives black-belt level instructions in setting mistaken customers straight, without actually telling them they?re mistaken. It all revolves around the phrase ?turns out,? which makes it seem as though the customer and the Genius are stumbling upon the truth together. For example, if a customer mistakenly says, ?This OS isn't supported,? the manual recommends that the Genius respond with, ?You'd think not, wouldn't you. Turns out it is supported in this version.?

If the volume has a dark side, it?s the prohibition on sympathy. Geniuses aren?t allowed to apologize directly to customers, even when Apple technology is at fault. At best, Gizmodo tells us, they can use phrases like ?I?m sorry you?re feeling upset? or ?sorry about your soda-spill accident? -- which seems like it would be cold comfort to someone who just lost a bunch of data to a hard drive crash (or, to put it in Genius terms, whose hard drive has ?stopped responding?). But as VentureBeat points out, Apple retail stores made $4.1 billion last quarter -- and people wouldn?t keep shopping there if they didn?t feel respected by the staff.

Readers, what do you think about the manual? Does it strike you as an effective way to build rapport with customers? Does it creep you out? Let us know in the comments section below.

Pantech Magnus pictured en route to AT&T

Pantech Magnum gets pictured en route to AT&T

Pantech has been steadily building its relationship with AT&T over the past few years by supplying the carrier with a healthy dose of budget-friendly handsets. Could it be that the OEM has finally earned the opportunity to add a higher-end device to the GSM giant's lineup? It may very well be the case with the P9090, aka the Magnus. Our source has hooked us up with the first images of the smartphone, which confirms an 8MP camera with LED flash, front-facing cam and at least Ice Cream Sandwich (if not Jelly Bean). While the image doesn't reveal any other specs, we're expecting to see a 720p display, LTE connectivity and a Qualcomm MSM8960 dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor. We're still not sure what to think about the bumpy design on its back, though it does remind us a little bit of what Verizon has done on the HTC Incredible series. The specs may be quite similar to the Vega Racer 2, though the phone itself doesn't look anywhere close to the manufacturer's Korean flagship. AT&T still hasn't announced the Magnus, but we'll let you know pricing and availability as soon as we have it.

[Thanks, Anonymous!]

Samsung announces Galaxy Note 2!

Android Central

We're live at Samsung Mobile Unpacked 2012 in Berlin, where Samsung has just announced the latest device in its Galaxy Note line, the Galaxy Note 2! The Note 2 is the widely-anticipated successor to last year's original Galaxy Note, and Samsung's improved upon that device with souped-up internals, re-vamped software and a brand new design.

The Galaxy Note 2 sports a 9.4mm thin chassis with a 5.5-inch 16:9 display at 1280x720 resolution. The screen itself is an HD SuperAMOLED panel, similar to what Samsung's included on the Galaxy S3. Visually the Galaxy Note is similar to the Galaxy S 3. The home button, the rear of the phone, the overall shape all strike a resemblance to the smaller sibling. Like its predecessor, the Note 2 sports a Wacom-based pressure-sensitive "S Pen," which has been redesigned. The pen is now taller and thicker, the button on the side now has texture to it, and it has a rubber tip which creates a subtly different action on the screen.  

On the inside, the Galaxy Note 2 is powered by a 1.6GHz Exynos 4 Quad CPU -- the same CPU found inside the S3, only at a higher frequency. That's backed up by 2GB of RAM and 16,32, and 64GB of storage. Samsung will offer the device in both 3G/HSPA and 4G LTE flavors, though for the moment there's no info on which version will be offered in which markets. On the software side, there's Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean, backed up by Samsung's TouchWiz Nature UX. And like the original Note, pen-centric apps like S Note have been included to take advantage of the new Note's unique hardware.

Availability has yet to be announced, but we'll update you just as soon as any announcement is made. In the meantime, keep it locked to AC for continuing live coverage of the event, and hands-on reports with more info on the device itself.

Buy-Sell Contracts and the 10 Conditions Necessary For Perfect ...

Business owners must regularly look at the question: ?Is my/our business ready for sale?? That naturally contributes to yet another question: ?When may be the ideal time to sell my/our business?? I can?t answer the very first problem for you without more info. But I could answer the next one.The great time to market an is when 10 circumstances exist. The 10 Conditions Required for Ideal Business Sales are:Sales are rising
Profits are improving, with prices improving or stabilized at sustainable levels
Capable management is in position
The balance sheet is fairly borrowed and in good position
The company outlook is positive
Its business is warm
The stock market is rising
Low cost money is available
Irrational buyers abound
The shareholders are prepared to offer (shareholder ability can relate with personal property planning, personal goals, management succession in position, and a bunch of other elements)
The ideal time for you to market a business is when all the above facets come in place. A perfect sale is one which reaches the highest possible price in the market when all the factors are in alignment.If these factors are not arranged, the objective upon sale is to realize the highest possible price available in the market at the moment of sale.Common sense implies that continuous alignment of the 10 Conditions doesn?t happen in the real-world. Like, when things are going well in the business, the by which it operates could be unable. And when things are going well with the business, the stock markets may take the doldrums and money may be tight.These facts result in a certain conclusion ? that the best time to get your business and the shareholders ready for sale is all the time. This may be the only sensible approach that may improve the sale value if, and when, you need or desire to promote your business ? no matter if the stars are in position for the best sale or not.But, now you ask, ?What is this ?ready for sale? issue surely got to do with buy-sell agreements?? Well, just as you can not know or control when all of the components for a perfect purchase will be there, you also cannot know or control when your deal will be triggered.There are many possible trigger events for concern in buy-sell agreements. Frequent events range from the following in the lives of investors and/or your company:Quits
Fired
Retires
Becomes Disabled
Death
Divorce
Bankruptcy
Often times, buy-sell agreements are written beneath the assumption that the death of a shareholder could be the most likely trigger event. In fact, it is minimal likely event that can launch your agreement into operation. A quick go through the list above will verify the common sense basis for this statement.The operation of buy-sell arrangements occur inside and alongside business-related cycles and the elements associated with readiness for sale. Provided that you have a business or even a major fascination with one, the organization, sector, industry, and financing cycles mentioned above will undoubtedly be in operation.Superimpose on those cycles the excess issues related to future events for your investors. No body knows when or who will die. No-one knows if or once they will become impaired. You almost certainly do not know the status of personal estate planning of all your other investors. All you know is that you?re, if you are like a lot of us, delaying in taking care of a number of of your own critical planning issues.All the factors relating to when a buy-sell agreement will be activated are not known all the full time. Consequently, the unavoidable conclusion is that the perfect moment to make sure that your agreement will run moderately and give you, the other shareholders, and the business in fair condition is all the time.For many, if not most business owners, the assets in their businesses are the largest single advantage on their balance sheets. Many more opportunities are created by buy-sell agreements for shareholders to (have to) sell and for companies to purchase pieces of the steel than opportunities to sell the entire issue. In order to give reasonable resolutions at unexpected sales or at unexpected trigger occasions, it is essential to focus on business ability and how your contract may operate constantly.

Militants attack Pakistan army post, kill 8 troops

ISLAMABAD (AP) ? Taliban militants attacked a Pakistani army post near the Afghan border before dawn Wednesday, killing eight soldiers, a reminder of the threat posed by insurgents despite numerous military offensives against them.

The attack occurred in the South Waziristan tribal area, once the main stronghold for the Pakistani Taliban, said a military official. The military launched a large offensive against militants there in 2009, but insurgents still operate in the area and periodically stage attacks.

In addition to the eight soldiers killed, six others were wounded in the attack near Ghatbadr village in the Shakai Valley, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media. The attack started around midnight and lasted for several hours, he said.

The attack followed the start of a new army operation to rout militants from the area, said the official. During the operation over the last two days, soldiers killed 18 militants and destroyed seven of their hideouts. Another 21 militants were wounded, according to the official.

The official initially said nine soldiers were killed but later lowered the toll to eight.

The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack on the post. The group's spokesman, Ahsanullah Ahsan, claimed they killed 12 soldiers and beheaded some of them.

The differing accounts could not be independently verified.

The military has conducted offensives against the Pakistani Taliban in six of the seven areas that make up Pakistan's semiautonomous tribal region along the Afghan border.

The U.S. said recently that Pakistan plans to launch an operation against the Pakistani Taliban in the last major militant sanctuary in region, North Waziristan. But Pakistani military officials have downplayed the comments, saying they plan to slowly increase pressure against militants in North Waziristan rather than launch a sweeping offensive.

Many Pakistani Taliban militants fled to North Waziristan and other parts of the tribal region following the army operation in South Waziristan in 2009.

Where do the really rich keep their money in great depressions ...

Q: Where do the really rich keep their money in great depressions?

If we are facing an economic collapse where do people who have a lot of money go? They say 401k, pensions and Social Security may be no more in 2009 on. First they said invest in gold/silver or in Asian markets BUT all that proved to be not the best idea as silver/gold is getting hard to buy and Asian markets are crashing. Where do people like the Rockefellers and Rothschilds keep their money? I see there investment company in the city, perhaps I will go to them when I win the lottery tonight for advice and hope they let me in

www.goldsenze.com Answer:

Many of them made a killing in buying up a lot of real estate. Look I know things look bad right now ? but if you look at what WarrenBuffett is doing now with stocks (buying stocks on sale), it the same thing the big wigs you mentioned above did during the Great depression with land. They knew that that would always have value ? they also invested in oil- I am not sure that is the way to go anymore(even though I own some VLO), But if you do your homework- knowing what areas are growing- what companies are best stock wise?look and see whatBuffett is buying you can do well.

An Overview Of Cricket Accessories

By: SteffiCurdy

Cricket gear includes bat, ball, gloves for batting and wicket keeping, protective gear, stump, bails etc. Its not an easy task to buy these accessories you must be careful in choosing these. Compare the rate with other shops before you proceed to buy. There are stores which supplies cheap quality product for higher rates. Ask your friends or neighbors suggestion to know about the prices and quality of the products.
The main thing which attracts others in cricket is batting. People feel happy seeing a batsman in full flow. Some make choices by seeing the grains on the cricket bat. There are 5 to 20 grains present on the bat. More number of grains are present when the sunlight, water, quality of the soil is good and also depends on how old is the tree. Less grain indicate that the tree is not so old. A new bat should be oiled to prevent it from crack or split of bat. Avoid over oiling of bat also. This oil also makes the bat to function better. The bat is made of willow wood. The wood or blade is connected to the cylindrical handle which is surrounded by a rubber grip.
The next important equipment is the cricket ball. The weight of a cricket ball is considered to be155.9-163.0 grams and its circumference is 8 13/16-9 inches. The bowling can even change the game. There are two color ball used white and red. White color is used during the one day and twenty20 matches because these balls are getting dirtied soon and they are not perfect balls for pitching. But the red balls are very stable so it is used during the test matches as it takes 5 days to get over. Not only the ball decides the game but also the bowling technique adapted by the bowler plays a major role.
Stumps are the next important accessories included. These stumps are three vertical post placed to support the bails. These stumps are called off, middle and leg stump. Off stump are present on the off side of the wicket, middle at the center or in between the other two stumps and leg stump are present on the leg side of the wicket. There are spikes present at one end of the stump which makes the stump inserted into the ground. The other end is curved or rounded to support the bails on it.
Helmet is a protective head gear that must be worn by all the players to protect themselves from getting injured. The ball comes in full force that it could even hurt the player standing on the opposite side. Before the helmets were designed only to cover the head region. But covering only the head region was not sufficient because the balls can even hurt the face. So later the helmets were designed in a way that it even covers the face region to an extent.
You must wear a perfect outfit made of good quality that is soft in nature. Wearing a perfect T-shirt, trousers, gloves, socks are very important. To make more stylish wristband and caps are worn. Buy the outfits in a proper store without compromising on the quality.
Keeping in mind all the necessary equipments and accessories it is important to buy it in a perfect store. You could also do online shopping to find the best quality products.
