One of the biggest areas of contention was (and still is) the start menu. Microsoft had though that moving to a tile based start screen similar to what you might get on a tablet or phone would be appealing to everyone. However, desktop and many laptop users were not all that happy with the shift and have let their displeasure be known. This prompted Microsoft to make a few subtle changes with the Windows 8.1 update. This update included the ability to boot to the desktop mode and also a start button. That trick did not work and Microsoft dove back into the development pool to try and find a solution.
At one point Microsoft had hinted that a revised start menu would return in the next update to Windows 8. However as time moved on and we started to spill over into the end of the development cycle for Windows 9 Microsoft pulled the plug on that possibility. That is when the screen shots and leaks started about a new start menu for Windows 9.
From the beginning the rumor was that the replacement start menu would be a hybrid of the traditional menu and the start screen. Microsoft loves the live tile concept so most felt they would try to find a way to force that in. So far the leaked screen shots and now this video seem to confirm that move. You will be getting something that is a little more familiar, but with a new twist on it. Microsoft is not ditching the start screen and if you are into that sort of thing you can still enable it for use, but for a large number of users the return of a real start menu will be a welcome change. The third-party developers that have made a ton of money on replacements will not be happy, but maybe consumers will.

'Have we got views for you.' This was the headline on the front cover of a Scottish newspaper's weekend magazine. Among the various photographs there was an extinct volcano, a magical island, a petro-chemical plant, a woodland folly, and a historic graveyard. Yet a careful study of the magazine did not include a single photograph of the Isle of Tiree. Surely this glaring omission needs to be rectified.

Welcome back to Week 2 of Not Peter, *tear*
We start off this episode of cringe-worthy kisses with Arie riding up to the Bachelor mansion on a motorcycle to whisk Becca K. off for her first 1-on-1. And all I can think is, Wait, who TF is Becca K.?
Arie strolls into the Bachelor Mansion all cool in his leather moto jacket, holding his helmet by his side and all the girls start drooling . But how can they *not* notice that his concealer is like three different shades? Dude needs to fire his makeup guy pronto.
Anyway, Arie and Becca ride away together on his motorcycle for their 1-on-1 and all the girls are sooo jealous (as if chilling in the Bachelor Mansion sipping on mimosas all day isn't a *way* better option).
They ride around the open roads of L.A. for like, five mins and then just when you think they're going to have a chill picnic in a field or something, Arie takes Becca to a mansion where he straight-up Daddy Warbucks her. Inside the mansion awaits a massive feast of lobster, delectable cheeses and a chocolate fountain (which seems like a waste of food for just two people but idk). Then, clothing designer Rachel Zoe shows up with a rack of clothes for Becca to try on while Arie sits on the couch eating cheese.
Actual footage of Arie while Becca gets styled by Rachel Zoe:
After Becca tries on all the dresses (and keeps a bangin' silver number) Arie takes her outside to gift her with a pair of jacked-up Louboutins (and later, some $$$ Neil Lane earrings). Then they make out while drinking champagne (because how could she *not* make out with him after he gave her like $50K worth of presents) and Becca says Arie has "pillow lips" but I am not convinced.
Moving on to the evening portion of their date, they talk about how close they both are with their families while I try not to fall asleep, and then kiss some more. On a scale from 1 (cringe-worthy) to 10, their makeout sesh was only like a 4, but I promise it gets so, so much worse.
Moving on to the next date which is ANOTHER 1-on-1 (ugh I need some Group Date dramz in my liiffeeee), Arie takes Krystal to his hometown in Arizona to show the girl he's known less than 24 hours what married life with him would look like.
Also, every time Krystal talks I want to do this:
Arie takes Krystal to his old high school, the glamorous Pizza Hut he used to work at and then—wait for it—he brings her to his house to watch old home videos, which I never knew I needed until right now. And after gracing us with videos of him as the *most* embarrassing child, Arie takes Krystal home to his parents (with literally no warning) which actually goes shockingly well.
Fast-forward to their dinner date, where Krystal tells Arie all about her tough family sitch (to recap: her parents got divorced when she was little, her mom was never around, and she has a brother who lives on the street) and Arie actually responded to the story v. well and maturely. Point: Arie.
Before ending their date, Arie takes Krystal to an empty concert hall where some rando musician—who doesn't even have a Wikipedia page!! (c'mon ABC, do better)—plays them a crappy song.
OK, moving on to the first Group Date (finally!) Making up one of the largest Group Dates in Bachelor history, 15 of the girls arrive and find out they're going to be participating in a race car derby—which they're all super excited about, minus Annaliese who is bawling in the corner because of some serious "bumper car trauma" she had when she was little. Um, question: What is "bumper car trauma"?
After some comforting cuddles from Arie, Annaliese feels better about her childhood PTSD and decides to face her fears and do it anyway. Side note: I'm a tad disappointed because Annaliese was my fave from Night One and I wasn't expecting her to be the one crying over a fear of bumper cars.
After Chris Harrison throws Arie some low-key shade about never winning a race (love you, Chris Harrison), the demolition derby begins and alas, Arie the profesh race car driver lasts all of five mins. Leave it to Arie to suck at his own game.
Sienne wins the competition and unfortunately is forced to drink some warm milk out of a dusty trophy. Serious q: I wonder if almond milk was an option?
Fast forward to the evening portion of the date, Chelsea pulls Arie away first (as she does) and decides it's time to tell him that she has a kid. The conversation actually goes v. well and Arie gives her some reassuring words followed by a gross kiss.
Sienne (the winner of the derby) steals Arie away next and proceeds to literally blow him out of the water by telling him she went to Yale.
Sienne to Arie: I went to Yale, and then studied abroad in Italy and Brazil
Arie in his ITM: Sienne is worldly, and she went to Yale…I barely graduated high school and worked at Pizza Hut
One by one the girls steal Arie away, until Bibiana remains one of the few girls who hasn't talked to him and she. is. pisssssed.
Bibiana sitting on the couch pouting like a 12-year-old: I'm done. It's the end of the night, do you think I want to talk to him like this? My patience has been [sic] trialled.
Analiese: Can someone hug her?
Bibiana: No one f-cking touch me *storms off*
Meanwhile, Bekah and Arie start hardcore macking during their 1-on-1 time and the cringe factor escalates from manageable to I-want-to-stab-my-eyeballs-with-a-fork. They literally kiss for like five mins (but it felt WAY LONGER for the folks at home) while a softcore porn soundtrack plays in the background. Ummm, is this approps for cable television?
As the date comes to an end, Arie gathers the girls around to give out the Date Rose and basically pulls the rug right out from under Chelsea.
Arie: Chelsea, you really opened up to me tonight which was really special to me
Also Arie: Sienne, will you accept this rose?
Time for the Cocktail Party! Which features another cringe-worthy face-eating kiss between Arie and Bekah. Ugh.
Krystal and Bibiani are the focus of the evening. Krystal (who went on a 1-on-1 date this week and already has a rose) keeps stealing Arie away and decides it's a good idea to interrupt Bibiana's time with Arie—which, obv does *not* go over well.
Krystal to Bibiani after interrupting her time with Arie: I just wanted to make sure you had time
Bibiani: When you learn to speak to me like a normal human being and not with a fake tone, then I can actually respect you…
Bibiani then proceeds to rip Krystal a literal new one by telling her that she just dug herself a hole and that no one will respect her time from here on out, and then mic drops herself right out of the conversation. (She literally said "and mic drop" and walked away).
Moving on to the Rose Ceremony, Arie sends three girls home (who I don't think were even in the episode) and one girl gets suuuper pissed—but not because of Arie, because she doesn't want to "leave her new friends" which just confirms my thoughts that Arie sucks.
And that's a wrap for this week! See you back here next week for lots and lots of tears and more Bibiana vs. Krystal dramz.
Watch The Bachelor Mondays at 8:00 p.m. EST on City. Then, head on over to FLARE.com/themorningafter for Sharleen Joynt's always on-point recaps and more!

Bitcoin Finds its Way into Europe Land-Based Casinosby
Bitcoin has been thriving in the online casino industry for the past three-five years, finding its way into dozens of top crypto casinos online. But while the online sector has been quick to pick up on its benefits, the land-based industry has been very slow to adopt cryptocurrencies, going as far as to avoid them at all costs. However, as with all innovations, there's no way to put a stop to something as long as there is significant demand for it. And demand is exactly what led to the creation of Slovenia's BTC city, the first Bitcoin-focused entertainment area in Europe that includes its very own land-based casino.
Bitcoin as Legal Tender in Casino and Entertainment City?
Slovenia – the small central European country that many foreigners may not be familiar with – has been making headlines in the cryptocurrency industry for over a year with its bold new project BTC City. The project saw a large business, entertainment, and shopping area in Slovenia's capital Ljubljana turn into the first Bitcoin-friendly city in Europe, and according to new reports, cryptocurrencies are about to become a legal tender there.
But what's more important than visitors having the opportunity to shop for clothes and pay for drinks with crypto inside the city is the fact that there is a 1,000m2 casino among the 4,500 shops, restaurants, and entertainment areas.
Called Casino Rio, this land-based casino has 600 m2 of gaming area that includes four electronic Roulette tables and over 160 slot machines. It's advertised as part of the BTC City and open 24/7 to all visitors of this crypto-capital in the country. According to information from the casino, it recently switched from classic tokens to EZ Pay systems, paving the way for other digital payment options in the future.
As the official outline for the BTC City explains, plans are to make this area an open-society where anyone can pursue their business ideas according to their wishes. An Elipay system has already been successfully installed in many premises around the area to allow visitors to pay in BTC along with cryptocurrency ATMs. As the city is now looking to enable crypto-payments everywhere, visitors may expect to see cryptocurrencies being used in the casino as well.
Las Vegas Not So Successful With Crypto
On the other side of the ocean, one of the biggest gambling destinations in the world, Las Vegas, doesn't seem to be interested as much in using cryptocurrencies for gambling purposes. In a new interview with Forbes, Las Vegas Advisor publisher and Blackjack legend Anthony Curtis, spoke about gambling trends in the Sin City, answering questions about various topics of interest. When asked about the impact of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, Curtis said that they proved to be not as successful.
In his own words, despite several places installing cryptocurrency kiosks, Bitcoin and other related coins have "made no appreciable impact". The reason, he believes, is that not many Las Vegas visitors seem to be interested in dealing with crypto.

Take a cue from bygone times with a bachelorette brunch full of feminine details and spirited florals.
Sugar Rush: Macarons, Doughnuts and More for Your Wedding Desserts
Macarons (above)
As a mess-free bite of something sweet, macarons never fail. Patrick's Bakery & Café makes the perfect macaron rendition, crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, and available in pistachio, raspberry, lemon and chocolate. For weddings, most clients opt for the miniature version, which may be part of a larger selection of desserts at a sweets table or incorporated into place settings when guests arrive. Even better? They can double as a party favor.
Dessert Shooters (above)
The flavors for the three-bite dessert shooters from Cocoa & Fig will win over the crowd, from chocoholics to fruit fanatics. Shown here are Key lime, dark chocolate, strawberry cream and lemon meringue—but that's a mere shortlist; options go on and on, from tiramisu to Southern banana pudding to very berry shortcake. Shooters are usually served in conjunction with other small desserts like cupcakes, cake lollies and macarons, with a small wedding cake as a focal point for the table, if desired. They present beautifully whether butler-passed or on footed cake stands as a centerpiece, and can easily be made gluten free.
S'mores Bar (above)
Gateaux Inc. debuted their s'mores bar at a farm wedding with a late-night bonfire. The casual classic is elevated by touches like wrought-iron skewers, inlaid cutting boards, mason jars and refined ingredients like homemade strawberry marshmallows, white-chocolate almond bark and waffle kuchen (shown here, assembled), plus extra-dark chocolate squares, homemade peanut butter swirl marshmallows and ginger snap cookies. Add the possibilities of toasted coconut marshmallows, dulce de leche, chocolate-covered graham crackers, mint-filled chocolate thins—you get the idea. S'mores are often served later in the evening as a late-night snack, and become part of the entertainment itself.
Doughnuts (above)
There's nothing that can't be dressed up to fit in at the ultimate black-tie affair. Mojo Monkey Donuts is extending the doughnut craze to weddings, with opulent flavors like the rosehip Bismarck, filled with rosehip curd and topped with dark-chocolate buttercream and rose petals dusted with sugar. Combined with simple frosted cake doughnuts (shown here with pink-colored icing and vanilla icing with roasted pistachios), a doughnut spread can offer enough cakey goodness to forgo the traditional cake altogether. The custom options are nearly infinite, with tiered stands and ceramic plates, and they can be tied into wedding theme colors using icing, fruit, sugar, jimmies and buttercreams.
Tarts (above)
Walking into Patisserie 46 is like entering a Parisian bakery; for weddings, the bakery creates individual tarts to add an ultra-European feel to your festivities. Flavors vary by season, but staples such as lemon with lemon cream and lime dust, or raspberry with vanilla pastry cream and fresh raspberries are always available. Petite gateaux round out the list of options, including a blackberry version filled with layers of white-chocolate mousse, pistachio and blackberry gelée. Usually served in lieu of a wedding cake, the petite desserts are often part of a sweets table, but can be served plated.
Sugar Cookies (above)
Easy to pluck from a dessert table, sugar cookies, like these from A Piece of Cake, can be a perfect custom-designed wedding favor. Boasting a bit of nostalgia, they can be cut into a variety of shapes to represent the couple, from bride and groom silhouettes and wedding cakes to poodles, sports cars and shoes. Abstract designs and patterns add elegance, especially frosted in colors that match your reception. Cookies are mostly used as favors, but they may also be placed on a dessert buffet in addition to the wedding cake.

Discussion in 'Trading' started by stock777, Aug 9, 2005.
The Treasury Department last week said it was considering setting up a facility to prevent market "fails," or instances in which traders are unable to borrow securities in the market to cover their bets.
"Because of a number of incidents in the past couple of years, that's one of the reasons why the last meeting of the .. Borrowing Advisory Committee did float this idea of a facility that would help ensure liquidity in the event of shortages for a variety of reasons," Quarles said.

The Pope is human, so?
I have been reading the translation of the meeting with Latin American religious on Rorate Caeli, Rocco Palmo reports the same thing and seems a little more shocked than Rorate.
So, the Pope puts his foot in his mouth from time to time, is it bit too spontaneous, sometimes says foolish things, suggests people don't get too anxious about a letter from the CDF, he's a bit disparaging about a campaign to get people to say the Rosary for him, he talks about "gay lobbies" in the Vatican and old nun's with money.
Yes, it is bit of bad form that he might say publicly that many people want him to sack his MC, Mgr Guido Marini, yes it is a bit humiliating for Monsignor, and a bit damaging for him professionally but we all say things about people that we regret. Yes, one wonders really whether the correction to "the Carnival is over" was correct or whether the original words were correct; "the Carnival is over", in a moment of confusion and tension, sounds in keeping with a less than guarded tongue.
But so? In a way it is all very Petrine, Peter put his foot in his mouth, so much so that Our Lord calls him "Satan". Paul too rebukes him for both his words and actions with the "Judaisers". Peter seems have been a bit garrulous and at times foolish, so why not Pope Francis?
I think we have to remember that Christ Vicar on Earth is a human being, not a committee. As a human being he has frailties and failings, it is part of the beauty of the Incarnation, it is what the Church is about.
On more important occassions, like the daily homilies. at least the Pope's words are "filtered" so we don't get "raw" Pope. That isn't too bad an idea, presumably the Pope reviews the redactions befor they appear on the Vatican website.
The Pope's words and image are being managed and refined, take for example the cameraman who has quietly appeared on the back of the Popemobile to capture a bit of baby kissing, that is part of the modern world.

A thoughtful post Fr Ray and I endorse your sentiments. Perhaps some people are rushing headlong into de-constructing everything the Holy Father says, or is alleged to have said.

Thanks for the wise words. We all need to say, everyday, "O' Lord, set a guard before my mouth, keep watch over the door of my lips."

So this; I remember how many times Pope Emeritus Benedict was said to have made a PR "Blunder" like Regensburg, Condoms etc. But many were not shrugging it off as "Oh well he's only human" The problem is a Personality Cult is being built around Francis and he himself does not want it. There is a double standard between the way Francis is treated compared to Benedict who BTW said himself "I'm fine. Live like a monk" Okay?

I am sorry Father but this is putting a brave face on a situation which is quite grave. Popes are not benevolent old uncles whose maunderings can be dismissed with a smile. This whole eay of speaking is inept, often incoherent, theologically approximate (counting rosaries may be bizarre, but in what way is it pelagian?), sometimes discurteous to individuals or whole categories of Caholics who are rying to serve the Church faithfully - in a word: unworthy of a Pontiff. To encourage people to disregard with a nod and a wink the stricturs of the Congregation for doctrine is to inite anarchy, and fatally undermine the work of those who are trying to serve the Pope and the Church. I am increassingly of the opinion that this pope is a loose canon, intellectualy lightweight and in short a liability for the Church. It is of little consolation that he is in some respects conservative, since he multiplies immoderate statements which cancel each other out (he who does bnot pray to Christ prays to the devil, but atheists are saved too). A friend of mine says he is making the Church liked again. I beg to disagree - he is making HIMSELF liked by distancing himself from te Church. God help us.

- Francis said...
Sorry to sound like doubting Thomas, but until I see transcripts of what the Pope actually said (and commentaries from translators from Italian or Spanish), I will not necessarily believe.
There is a rush on both wings of the Church to claim Pope Francis as "one of us." At my parish the (liberal) clergy are spinning him as a return to the good old spirit-of-the-Council days after nasty old Ratzinger. Fr. Z., on the other hand, urges us to "read Francis through Benedict."
I would just like to read what Francis really says, and then decide whether he is, like St Peter, putting his foot in his mouth, or being misquoted by people with agendas.
- 12/6/13 3:25 am
- peregrinus_sg said...
The Pope spoke for one hour and it is clear from the transcript that parts of what he said were left out. It would be quite imprudent to judge from what little that has deliberately been filtered through another hand, especially if this hand may have other agendas in reporting.
But from the little that has been reported, I think it is a far fetch to claim that Pope Francis suggests that people can ignore what the CDF says. He seemed to say that the religious working with the poor can and do make mistakes (not just wrongly accused of making mistakes). If you make one, admit it and move on. The problem is there are factions within the Church, both on the left and the right that insists they are always right when they have no charism of infallability.

- Victoria said...
I agree with you Fr Mark. Don't forget that the pope also undermined the importance of a valid baptism as a prerequisite for the reception of the other sacraments e.g. matrimony.
CNA - "don't create a sacrament of pastoral customs"

Nice try, Father, but I am not convinced.
Your final paragraph is telling.
- 12/6/13 8:02 am
- Delia said...
Yes, nice try, Father! Regrettably, I do agree with Fr Mark. Yes, popes are sinners like everyone else, and we do all say things we regret, but that is why the emphasis should be on the office, not the person. But fancy the pope looking at Paddy Power!!

- David said...
I never thought I would see the day when a Roman Pontiff needs to be followed by what one of Ronald Reagan's advisors called (apropos of the then President) the "shovel brigade".
Yes, there is always a danger that our prayers may become mechanical and rote. But to suggest that merely because a group of Catholics have offered a spiritual bouquet, with all the details of the prayers offered, that their prayers are mechanical and rote. How can he make such a judgement about the internal forum of Catholics he has most likely never met? Personally, I'd be delighted if a group were to recite so many rosaries for me.
Worse, the comment about effectively ignoring the admonitions of the CDF can only turn out be a disaster for the Church and the restoration of orthodoxy by giving encouragement to dissident priests, religious, and bishops.

This all serves to illustrate the the differences between ther current pope and his predecessor. Benedict was and is cautious and sagacious, qualities that were probably developed through years of Vatican experience. Francis is a holy man, but impetuous. Maybe he will learn.

I was busy, busy, busy
Busy as a bee
Cleaning, organizing
No sympathy for me.
On my hands and knees I scrubbed
Floors of dirty house
Then my little girl crept close
Quiet as a mouse.
"Mother," she said softly
She held a small shoe box
"What?" I questioned sharply
Time ticking on the clocks.
Holding up the box to me
"There is a gift inside
I worked all morning filling it
For you!" She smiled with pride.
She handed me the shoe box
Lifting off the lid with care
Impatiently I looked inside,
"My dear, there's nothing there."
I set the empty shoe box
Upon the kitchen table,
"Now go outside and play some games
I'll get to you when able."
She walked on over to the box
As tears streamed from her eyes,
"What's wrong with you?" I asked of her
For weakness I despise.
"Oh, mother can't you see --
Can not you see what this is?
It holds for you my love
Where I blew my hundred kisses."

Come on, Father. If accurately reported, these comments demonstrate that we have a Pope who doesn't appear to have any understanding of the basics of his role. Catholics are quite right to be concerned (to say the least).

The pope is from Argentina and he's a Jesuit. We will live interesting times but that's okay. The Church is not the pope. We do not worship the pope, nor do we stand there like fools and nod if he says the ocean is purple instead of blue. Some people are going to panic. Some people are going to be company men and say that everything is fine. A few of us will face facts and continue on just as we always have.

Of all the apostles, St. Peter is my favorite. Impetuous at times, but bottom line, always gave himself over to Jesus in the end. Sort of like the Irish setter who eats the tomatoes in the garden, but pulls the child out of the burning house. [Yes, we had a setter that ate the tomatoes. I know they're not "supposed to" eat tomatoes. That's what my mom thought too.] In the end St. Peter had a lot of good horse sense, and comes across as the guy you could have a beer and a BBQ with. OTOH, the "apostle" Paul? Okay, some nice things said about the Eucharist, but what a miserable rat! Good think he was never pope. [And if I had been the centurion mentioned in Acts, the book of acts would have been about a chapter and a half short, because I'd have thrown Paul overboard for saying "see I told you so." He'd have never made it off the boat alive, much less to the tavern outside of Rome.

Father, I'm sorry to say that in the light of this latest episode I too thought back almost at once to the allegedly-not-said words "The carnival is over".

I think we should not treat everything the Pope says as a universal teaching for the Church; nor should we expect everything he says to be suitable for that purpose. Perhaps we don't need to follow his every word, except in areas where there is something important for him to sort out. His daily sermons may be regarded as just for that small congregation at the Domus Mariae - must they be learned theological disquisitions? Surely not.

Bergoglio was runner-up in the 2005 conclave, and despite the bookies' odds he must have known his election was on the cards. You only have to look at the dress of the CLAR representatives to know where they stand on tradition - JP II would not have received a nun in trousers.
Pope Francis is talking to Latin Americans in the language they are used to. "The poor are the Gospel". What a nonsensical statement. I distrust what passes for Catholicism in Latin America and I distrust the Jesuits (most of them anyway).

Is it just me or does anybody else notice how much older the Pope looks just 3 months after his election? Compare a Picture of him now compared to the day he was elected? He has lost a lot of weight mostly in his face and has more wrinkles and circles under his eyes and low his grey hair is white. I think also how fast JPI aged after his election. He like JPI has breathing issue. He needs our prayers

Who ever said the Pope was not human?
Is that the best defense that can be proffered for The Pontiff, er, The Bishop of Rome?
Of course he is human but his disdainful attitude of the faithful who prayed Rosaries for him shows a crude and vulgar side of him that I could have lived without learning about.
Is praying the Rosary a thing we ought to have abandoned in the 1940s?
Presumably, those benighted bohunks who tell their beads are still his sheep but his uncharitable lumping of them in with heretics calls into question his much vaunted humility.
And the fact that we have a Pope who must be carefully managed and whose words must be constantly reframed by his handlers is not exactly comforting.
Of course the world loves such a Pope - one who seems indifferent to solemnity and reverence in The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and one whose love for his own possessions (his old shoes) is greater than his love for vestments and Papal attire - but the world ain't our friend.
What troubles me greatly is the acceptance of modern Prelates impugning the motives of this sheep while they ecxuse the actions of their enemies.
One can be sure Our Holy Father will not be caught dead talking about Non-Catholcs the way he does about his faithful flock who counts the three Hail Marys he asked us to pray for him daily.

The modern doctrine of collegiality makes him seem like a committee, the nota praevia which Pope Paul VI used to correct the Council on this matter notwithstanding.

- Celia said...
I'm inclined to agree with Fr Mark. The Pope is very popular with people in my parish who are, shall we say, not fully in agreement with the Church on a variety of issues. Mostly they like him because he's not Benedict,(too orthodox and too 'clever') and has a habit of making simplistic off-the-cuff comments which I have to say often strike me as incoherent, but which people can interpret as they like.
Sooner or later he's going to have to master a few briefs and start doing something concrete.
And enough with the health scares! We know Benedict is a frail old man in poor health. This is not news. He chose to retire from public view because of increasing incapacity and perhaps that choice could be more clearly respected. Pray for him of course, but do we really need to know that yet another person thinks he's lost weight?

In reply to Katalina:- I think Pope Francis looks unchanged from when he was elected.
(As for Pope John Paul I, well I disagree with you there too. All the photos from his short papacy show him, right up to the eve of his death, as looking vibrant and full of smiles, hence the nickname.)
But I agree with you on the prayers.
- 12/6/13 9:54 pm
It sounds like Pope Francis just finally got a chance to speak in Spanish to people from his home region, and he sounds just like he did back home. Who is surprised by this? Not me. Only people who were intent on re-making the Pope into something he i not will be vexed by this. Every realist has already taken stock of the HF's ideas and knows what to expect now and in the future.

- Katalina said...
I will repeat what I said earlier the Pope has changed in his physical appearance since his election 3 months ago. All you have to do is open your eyes and see. I stated this about Benedict a few years back when most people were not paying attention. There is no doubt its a stressful job. I am concerned because I see a lot still of the same things with Francis that we did with Pope John Paul I. That's all.

Pope Francis is not just one of the "good ole boys". He's the Vicar of Christ. There is a decorum that I hope he learns to respect, if only because that decorum is an acknowledgement of the history of the Church that he now shepherds. I realize that Peter made his gaffes; I also recall that he never got away with them without being set straight.

I can see why Pope Francis would make a comment about "counting" the Rosarys said.
Re: what Celia said at 8.48.
Indeed, they seem to be hanging on every word so that they can lead as sinful life as possible while practising the Catholic faith.
Simple faith no demand on the soul.

'The group said that the summary notes as published were "intended for the personal memory of the participants," seeking to portray the text not as direct quotes of the pontiff's, but merely representing "the general feeling" of his comments.'
I suspect the 'general feeling' is much the same as the 'spirit of VII' and about as reliable as to what he actually said.

The Pope is human, of course, but he appears to be a particularly imprudent human who has not seriously grasped the nature or demands of his new office.
Today he was preaching about the need to "watch our tongues." I wish he would heed his own advice. He has contradicted himself so many times within the space of weeks that he is undermining his own authority. When he does have something important to say, nobody will listen because they will be waiting for the minders to come round to clear things up first.
What a hypocrite he makes of himself when he preaches against insulting people and putting them down within days of ridiculing those who offer him a "spiritual bouquet" of rosaries. Not exactly the humble poverello now, is it?
It is certainly time for this Carnival to be over. Loose tongues cost lives.

For centuries what we now call 'disinformation' has been an important tool of espionage. Until relatively recently it required considerable skill and resources (of which nation states usually had a monopoly) to produce forged letters, telegrams and dossiers.
With the arrival of the internet, the requirement for elaborate and convincing forgeries - able to withstand forensic scrutiny - to underpin disinformation is almost obsolete. Post it on the internet preceded by the magic phrase 'An insider at ... said ...' and it is highly likely that both allies and opponents of the subject will analyse and spin as if the information was beyond doubt.
The aim of disinformation is usually to: (a) create a false impression in the eyes of the subject's opponents or (b) create a false impression in the eyes of the subject's allies. Option (a) aims to steer opponents to defective responses, while option (b) aims to undermine the subject by demoralising or disorienting its allies.
I believe that the present propaganda of disinformation by the Spirit of V-II heretics falls into the second category, but as part of a wider objective. The happy-clappy heretics are largely opposed to the Petrine Succession and Papal Infallibility, so why are they so keen to claim the Holy Father as one of theirs? I suggest the heretics' disinformation aims not only to demoralise and disorient orthodox Catholics, it also aims to undermine the office of Supreme Pontiff.
The lesson, I believe, is that we should all be much more questioning when presented with hearsay - there is very good reason why it is inadmissible before a court!

Father, with all due respect, your comments are nothing but the same ol' CYA approach that all self-important institutions indulge in.
For all of Pope Francis' simplicity and humility, it appears he's not big enough for the job, as it were. I'm not talking from either a Traditionalist nor a "Spirit of Vatican II" mindset. The pope just doesn't seem to have any sense of basic human discretion.
What's worse is that nobody seems to be teaching him. The communications "experts" who are supposed to help Rome's "image" are letting Francis hang out to dry. That has more to do with the Vatican's institutional deterioration than with Francis, himself.
One good thing has come out of this, though: We now know from the pope's lips that a "gay lobby" exists in the Vatican. How much power it wields -- and how it wields that power -- is something that could be too frightening to face.

I've been over this guy for a while now. I went through all the stages of grief - it felt like that after 7 years together: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance, but I've become aware of a sixth stage: philophobia.
As a human being, I started noticing my need for physical attention and made an arrangement with a friend of mine. When he mentioned a few times he was falling for me, I shot him down. Hard. And now it has come to bite me in the ass. Hard.
I feel something for this man, yet I am so afraid. So afraid to tell him, to show him and even to admit it to myself. I keep hoping that he'll say something again to get me out of this state - to get me to know how to love, but mostly be loved again.

Today's entry in my list of favorite things of the year is the latest game from the studio that delivered Bastion and Transistor, both games that appeared on this list in previous years.
Developers Supergiant are now three for three in my book when it comes to creating wonderful, captivating, indie games.
They never make predictable decisions. I love that.
Pyre is, rather oddly for an RPG, a sports sim at it's core. It owes more to the immediacy of the 16 bit era and the likes of the early NBA Jam games than it does the modern layered EA sims, but it is still uses the same core loops as a sports title.
Your team of three players contest against another team in trying to 'dunk' the ball into the opponents pyre. You score different points based on how you scored, and the first to a certain score wins. Different players have different attributes and range from strong and slow, to small and nimble, each use a different style of jumps and attacks to maintain control of the ball. Your goal is to both move the ball, and knock out the opposing players, as doing so removes them from the field for a period of time, handing you an advantage.
It flows well, and has an arcade feel to it.
That core game is then wrapped in the usual, wonderfully evocative, world that Supergiant are so good at creating. You guide your misfit band of players through their adventures not simply to level them up, but to reveal their backstories and create bonds with them. It's a brilliant fusion of a sports game and an RPG game.
Those choices are what make Supergiant so interesting. Because they clearly understand their design philosophy, and know what is important to 'their' games, it allows them the freedom to experiment with choices that might scare more conservative designers.
They take chances, and can do so, because their overarching approach ensures that the game will still 'feel' like a Supergiant game. That breeds a very powerful confidence. So in effect, rather than being restrictive, having their own design philosophies grants them this tremendous freedom of expression in their design.
Pyre was another wonderful example of their work.

Dixon Steele: Well, I grant you, the jokes could've been better, but I don't see why the rest should worry you — that is unless you plan to arrest me on lack of empathy.
Someone you love has just died in a terrible and, honestly, kind of suspicious way. Better start crying your eyes out right now.
Wait, you say you have a sense of personal dignity and prefer to mourn in private, and wouldn't dream of sullying your loved one's memory by breaking down just in time for the ten o'clock news team to catch it? Or that you're in shock and too bewildered and horrified to do anything but stare blankly? Or that you're British and would rather keep a Stiff Upper Lip at all times?
Look, you're just asking for trouble, pal. We said cry, so you'd better turn on the gushers. Because if you don't, then you're the killer! And when the case comes to trial six months later you had better still be crying, or the reporters are going to be jabbering about how you sat there "emotionless" during the "most brutal part of the testimony," which is guaranteed to make you look bad even if you aren't actually the one on trial.
This trope has been around on television so long that these days the subversion is at least as common as the trope: the "non-emotional" person at the scene makes for an excellent red herring for the first half-hour of a crime procedural, but is rarely the true killer because that would be too easy. You can expect the truly guilty person to have had the waterworks on full blast, just as expected if only to throw off suspicion.
Sadly, this trope in its unsubverted form is still commonly seen in Real Life crime, where not grieving enough in public, not being sad enough, or engaging in necessary unpleasant tasks such as checking on a spouse's life insurance too soon after the death, is seen as evidence of an evil or heartless nature, and therefore guilt.
Shares some similarities with Loners Are Freaks: failure to conform to expected social norms makes you a monster. Characters who may get into trouble include The Stoic, The Quiet One, the Emotionless Girl, and those with a Sugar-and-Ice Personality.
- In a case in volume 16 of Case Closed, one of the sisters comments on the fact her brother's fiancée (who she dislikes) has barely reacted to his death, insinuating that she was a Gold Digger. Ran runs after the fiancée to give her something she'd dropped, only to find her crying about her fiancée's death alone. It turns out she is the culprit, but it's a lot more complicated than they realized.
- Light in Death Note agonizes over whether or not it would be wise to visibly grieve when his father nearly dies. He ends up being a bit hammy, which ironically leads L to think it might be real, as it is way too corny to be a performance.
- Discussed in the Animorphs fanfic Ghost in the Shell. CNN claims that Tom was a voluntary accomplice of the Yeerks, and they use footage of him looking blank-faced at Rachel'snote funeral as evidence of this. In reality, Tom is The Stoic because he has Post-Infestation Affective Blunting Syndrome.note
- In Crooked House, Charles notes that no one in Aristide Leonides' family (except his second wife) seems at all distressed by his murder. Reactions range from crocodile tears to a grudging admittance that they'll miss him, to outright admission that they hated him. As Charles notes, this makes everyone look like a viable suspect.
- The Deadly Bees: During an inquiry into the death of his wife (by bee swarm), Mr. Hargrove displays less emotion towards his wife's death than protagonist Vicki, who was only a guest and knew them both less than a couple of weeks. This only strengthens the theory that Hargrove set his bees on his wife, whom he openly hated.note
- Fire in the Sky: This is the main reason why Allan Dallas was suspected of murdering Travis Walton. The fact that Travis Walton showed up five days later after having been abducted by aliens cleared Allan's name but did not stop the police from having a grudge against Allan.
- In a Lonely Place: The police suspect the main character, Dixon Steele, for the murder of a woman who visited him on the night of her death, due to the fact that he barely reacts to the news and even makes a few sarcastic quips about it.note
Capt. Lochner: You're told that the girl you were with last night was found in Benedict Canyon, murdered. Dumped from a moving car. What's your reaction? Shock? Horror? Sympathy? No — just petulance at being questioned. A couple of feeble jokes. You puzzle me, Mr. Steele.
Dixion Steele: Well, I grant you, the jokes could've been better, but I don't see why the rest should worry you — that is unless you plan to arrest me on lack of emotion.
- The Legend of Lizzie Borden: Lizzie complains that she is suspected based on the perception that she hadn't been emotional enough about her parents' deaths. Her lawyer tries to put the best face he can on this in his closing statement, claiming that the heart that doesn't cry is the one that actually feels the most pain. (In fact, she isn't emotional about the murders because she did it and she isn't sorry.)
- Reversal of Fortune. Claus von Bülow doesn't make his legal defense team comfortable with his aristocratic Dissonant Serenity and Gallows Humor (the former may have helped to get him initially convicted).
Claus von Bülow: Well, so much for the first coma. The second, of course, was much more theatrical.
Alan Dershowitz: Theatrical? What is this, a fucking game? This is life and death; your wife is lying in a coma. You, you don't even make a pretense of caring, do you?
Claus von Bülow: 'Course I care, Alan. It's just, I don't wear my heart on my sleeve.
- At the start of The Shawshank Redemption, the protagonist is charged with the murder of his wife. Though there is other evidence that points towards him, what seems to really cinch the case was that he showed no grief, described by the judge as "an icy and remorseless" individual. The fact that his wife was killed along with her lover and that this might confuse his grieving process is never addressed. Sure enough, about two-thirds of the way through the movie, we find out that he really was innocent; how can he feel remorse for something he didn't do? The rest of the film makes it clear the protagonist just has a calm, quiet, emotionally reserved personality.
- Subverted in Star Trek VI. Scotty notes that the murdered Klingon Chancellor's daughter didn't shed "one bloody tear" and so she must have been the culprit. Spock points out that that in itself is not conclusive since Klingons have no tear ducts. Whether Scotty was intending for this turn of phrase be taken literally is not clear, but it's academic in the end: not only is she innocent, but the same plotters who arranged for her father to be murdered and for Kirk and McCoy to take the fall target her at the climax. Given that Klingon culture is big on showing strength, it's likely displaying grief in public isn't something they do generally as well.
- The Thin Blue Line. Randall Dale Adams is falsely labeled as a sociopath for showing "no remorse" for the crime; his lawyer argues that he naturally wouldn't feel remorse for a crime he didn't commit. Harris, on the other hand, genuinely seems to feel no remorse for any of his crimes, as noted by even his friends.
- Averted in Stephen King's novel The Dark Half. The protagonist is suspected of murder, and the Sheriff is so certain he's guilty by the ton of evidence that he's not noticing the protagonist's genuine reaction of surprise and shock after being told of the murder. (The murders are actually being committed by a supernatural doppelganger of the protagonist.) The two state troopers with the Sheriff finally have to pull the Sheriff aside and say that the reactions of the suspect are that of an innocent man. The Sheriff calms down enough to realize something very strange is going on, and that his first impressions may be wrong.
- Dead End Job Mysteries: In the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue of the first book, this is what results in a "Guilty" verdict for the killer (along with all the other physical evidence against them) - they showed no emotion during the trial.
- Discworld:
- Lampshaded (of course) in the novel Night Watch, when Vimes realizes a little too late that not reacting at all to Coates saying he isn't the real John Keel is a dead giveaway.
- Played straight in Maskerade, where the murderer is the Deadpan Snarker who makes insensitive but amusing quips about the deceased. It can actually be a bit surprising in a humorous novel where most characters are Deadpan Snarkers at one point or another, but Terry Pratchett has repeatedly commented in his novels how making jokes about killing people, even bad ones, is a telltale sign of twisted morals.
- An extreme example can be found in Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?: no matter how well replicants can simulate feelings and hide their Lack of Empathy when submitted to the Voight-Kampff test, a minimal delay in emotional response is enough to incriminate them.
- This is one of the reasons why Nick looks more and more guilty of Amy's disappearance in Gone Girl. He is quite innocent, but he is not only uncomfortable with showing his feelings but also has trouble feeling entirely sorry that Amy is gone due to how unhappy their marriage had become. Amy, who knows Nick better than anyone, was counting on those two things helping to incriminate him.
- Invoked in the Miss Marple short story, "Tape Measure Murder": the victim's husband is a believer in the Stoic philosophy and takes pride in showing no emotion at the news of his wife's murder. Naturally, everyone else is less impressed and more suspicious about this. Miss Marple is the only one who believes him innocent because he reminds her of an uncle who was also a Stoic.
- Inverted in the Sherlock Holmes story when a man is arrested for the murder of his father. The fact that he accepts arrest so calmly and he expected it is used as evidence by the police of his guilt. Holmes, however, points out that it simply shows he was aware of the overwhelming evidence against him and that it was futile to protest; only a guilty man would try and cause a scene.
- Camus' The Stranger sort of messes with this. Meursault's murder trial paints him as an inhuman monster because he didn't act sad at his mother's funeral. It's a bit of a subversion, as he didn't cry because he didn't really care, and he claimed he killed the man because the sun was in his eyes, but his treatment at the trial still fits this trope. The trope is played to extremes in order to make a satirical point about racism in French-ruled Algiers. The crime Meursault's actually on trial for is murdering an Arabic man, which is noted in the book as not a serious crime - it might get him a year or so in prison. Reflecting that, he has little empathy for the man he killed. As the trial goes on, however, his lack of empathy is noted, and the jury realise that he didn't cry at his mother's funeral, and he gets the death penalty for it. His lack of socially appropriate emotions is the real crime rather than an actual murder because the society he's in doesn't care that an Arab man was killed.
- A variation in Madeleine L'Engle's A Swiftly Tilting Planet. Zillah, a Native American woman, doesn't cry or scream while giving birth, due to her culture. The suspicious Puritan townspeople (who already blame her for the current drought) use this as evidence that she's a witch.
- Cited on many crime shows, both fictional and real, as the reason why cops get suspicious of supposedly grieving loved ones. Inverted too—they get just as suspicious of people acting too upset, suspecting that they're putting on an act.
- The subversion was lampshaded in an episode of Bones in which they interviewed friends of the victim at a fraternity. The frat members who knew more than they were letting on were pointed out by Dr. Sweets because they were too consistent in how sad they appeared (genuine grief varying in intensity and nature from moment to moment) which indicated that they were concentrating on appearing sad rather than actually being sad.
- Boston Legal:
- The victim's girlfriend didn't show any emotion when she saw her hanged, saying only "goodbye". She was considered a suspect by the main characters. It turns out she was only interested in the victim's money, but the act itself was a suicide.
- This was part of the "evidence" against a suspected Black Widow in the first episodes of season two.
- Leonard Nimoy does it in the Columbo movie "A Stitch in Crime" (1973). Both Nimoy and Peter Falk (Columbo) act outside their typecast personas in a scene where Nimoy's character pretends to burst into laughter over the ridiculous idea that he murdered a colleague. Columbo, unusually for him, drops his bumbling policeman act and angrily announces his intent to prove his accusation.
- Criminal Minds:
- Inverted when the team is investigating a series of brutal murders mimicking Native American rituals. Their first suspect is an Apache teacher/activist whom they take to the crime scene under the pretense of asking for his expert opinion. He then proceeds to analyse the grisly scene in a very detached and unemotional manner and comes to the conclusion that this wasn't done by Native Americans. Hotchner then claims his behavior proves he's innocent: a guilty person would have feigned shock and disgust, as the activist himself points out when Hotch tells him that he's not a suspect.
- Also played straight in a later episode; a man notices that his daughters have gone missing, about a year after his wife died. Over the course of the episode, we found out that he has a split personality, and is an alcoholic. When one of his two daughters is found dead, he is immediately considered the killer due to his alcoholism causing him some serious anger issues. The other girl is later found crying from a nearby forest. As it turns out, the surviving girl displays no emotion of any kind when she returns to her empty house. J.J feels that something is wrong and calls the other agents. J.J finds her in the basement and realizes that the daughter killed half of her family and tried to shift the blame on her troubled dad, and the two end up pointing guns at each other. Once the others arrive, the daughter claims that J.J tried to kill her, but nobody is fooled by her act anymore.
- CSI in general loves this trope and have played it both straight and as a red herring.
- In a CSI: Miami episode they came down hard on the husband of the victim as despite seeming genuinely shattered he had returned to work immediately. This was because he worked in a family business and it was helping him cope with his grief but the CSI's still remarked it pointed toward him being responsible, despite his actions mirroring practically every detective and CSI on TV, including in their show, who has suffered a bereavement without the added reasoning of family being present at the work as well.
- After Rita's murder, Dexter initially comes off as emotionally detached (particularly in his clinical police call). Quinn (who has a grudge) is alone in finding it suspicious; most of the other people at the precinct think he's just in shock, and Debra worries that he isn't allowing himself to grieve.
- When Angel is in the hospital, the ever-watchful Sgt. Doakes accuses Dexter of this as part of his ongoing campaign to prove his suspicion that there is "something wrong" with him.
- General Hospital. After Sonny's ex-girlfriend Brenda is hit by a car, he goes to confront his father-in-law about it. When the man has no reaction to the fact that his daughter Lily was injured as well (she sprained her wrist pulling Brenda out of the way), it confirms his suspicions that this was a hit set up by him (the man's spies must have already told him that Lily was hurt, but otherwise okay, hence his non-reaction).
- In Home Improvement, Tim's boss and friend Mr. Binford passes away, and when he doesn't seem to be sad enough both Jill and Al get on his case about it. He doesn't see what the problem is if he doesn't get all weepy, but it then bothers him when his son seems to be learning the lesson that Men Don't Cry. For the record, Tim does eventually break down at the funeral. They also explain that the reason why Tim handles grief so well is that his dad died when he was pretty young and he knows how to cope.
- Homicide Hunter: A cop working with Lt. Joe Kenda (the "hunter" in question) notes this as the reason why he's suspicious of a missing woman's husband—aside from the man's detached demeanor, the man hasn't followed up with the police once since reporting his wife missing several days ago—something highly unlikely for a concerned spouse.
- Law & Order: In the episode "Good Girl", Van Buren and the detectives suspect a girl claiming self-defense of being too calm in describing the alleged assault in front of her parents. An actual victim would be far too uncomfortable to recount it, especially in front of her father.
- Law & Order: UK: In the episode "Masquerade", prosecutor Alesha Philips becomes suspicious of the young woman they've charged with murder, who is claiming to have acted in self-defense after the victim raped her, noting that she's completely blasé about having to testify, citing that most rape victims are usually terrified at the prospect—as she herself was.
- Discussed in Lie to Me: "Pied Piper":
Loker: Does Lightman seem weird to you?
Ria: Uh, well, he's rude, impatient, distant. He seems pretty normal to me.
Loker: Yeah, but isn't that weird? He may have helped execute an innocent man, and he has no emotional reaction. Doesn't that make him a sociopath?
Ria: Or it's just a mask.
- On Murder, She Wrote Jessica becomes suspicious of a murdered actress's fiance because he does not seem broken up about the death and does not seem very concerned about what happens to the body. When Jessica confronts him about it, he gives her a philosophical spiel about the body being just an empty husk that does not mean anything to him. It turns out that the two were only pretending to be engaged so he would have a reason to hang around the theater where the actress worked. The man is writing a book about a famous star actress performing at the theater and the victim agreed to help him in return for him providing her with blackmail material she could use to get the role she wanted. He did not kill her.
- In the "Rhea Reynolds" episode of Nip/Tuck, Dr. Christian Troy realizes that the titular patient is not the latest victim of the Serial Rapist/mutilator The Carver when not only does she have zero reaction to him telling her that he was a victim also, she asks about getting her lips enhanced and/or her nose fixed during the procedure to repair her (self-induced) scars.
- One episode of NUMB3RS has Liz become suspicious when a woman wishes to stay at the FBI office after being told her husband died. This leads to them realizing he was not actually dead.
- In Poirot's adaptation of Sad Cypress, one of the reasons why the jury was quick to declare Elinor as guilty is that she showed no remorse to the death of Mary Gerrard. Mary was loved by practically everyone, including Elinor's fiance Roddy, and Elinor is the only one who could have the motive to murder the other girl. As it turns out, Elinor did want Mary to die, but did not commit the murder.
- The Pretender has a variation in an episode when five crooks suspected of killing a young girl (plus Jarod) wind up Locked in a Warehouse after a failed heist. One freaks out when he finds a child bed with a photograph, but another tells them to pull yourself together and points out it's not the girl in question.
- Cameron in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has a problem convincing anyone that she didn't kill Riley due to her inability to show anything close to grieving. Well, that and the fact that she's the only one with motive.
- In True Crime Files, a docu-series, there was an episode that dramatized the real-life murder of Sylvia "Maggie" Locascio. When police were investigating the crime scene after the discovery of her body in her Florida mansion, her son Eddie Jr. came home and was stopped by police, who became suspicious by his seeming lack of surprise upon being informed of his mother's death. It was a Red Herring: Eddie was innocent, and the real killer was a hitman hired by his father who wanted to kill her over their very messy divorce proceedings.
- In Two and a Half Men, Evelyn's new husband Teddy dies before the wedding reception is even over. When she finds him lying dead in a bed (with his pants down and lipstick on his crotch), she picks up the phone... and calls the airline to trade her two plane tickets for a single first-class ticket. The police didn't look too fondly on that.
- Deconstructed in Unbelievable. The teenager Marie Adler is subjected to a brutal attack by a Serial Rapist in her apartment. Afterwards, her former foster-mother Judith comes to suspect her of making a False Rape Accusation, because she doesn't see her showing any strong emotions after what happened, and her telling this to the police officers investigating Marie's case makes them come to the same conclusion. To the viewer, however, it is made quite clear that Marie's lack of reaction is because she is still in a state of shock and trauma after the rape, and is actually trying her hardest to avoid thinking about what happened. Her other foster mother Colleen points out this to Judith when they talk, noting that people react differently in individual cases.
- In Lunar: The Silver Star, Lemia Ausa accuses Alex of planning to overthrow the Magic Guild and Althena with absolutely nothing to back her claim, other than to point out how his lack of response afterward is proof that he cannot deny what he knows is true. She then promptly has him locked up and sentenced to death without even giving him a trial. Turns out she was Xenobia in disguise. She knew Alex had no plans to do anything of the sort, she was just using her position to get rid of a possible threat to Ghaleon and stir up unrest in Vane.
- In Persona 4, Naoki Konishi deals with a variation of this, as the local gossips criticize him for not seeming 'sad enough' about his sister's murder. Reversing this, he criticizes them for acting like they really care about what happened when it's pretty clear they're just more interested in gossiping about it. The climax of his social link involves helping him mourn his loss by providing a truly sympathetic ear rather than acting judgmental and high-and-mighty while offering transparently fake comfort like the gossips.
- In Deus Ex: Mankind Divided a sidequest deals with the murder of Angela Gunn, with her ex-husband Johnny Gunn being the primary suspect due to his history as a cyborg mercenary as well as his seeming indifference towards her death. When questioned, while clearly frustrated by the accusations it's made clear that Johnny did care for Angela but doesn't show his grief openly. That and his cybernetic limbs leave no fingerprints unlike the ones left at the scene of the crime, which officially rules him out as a suspect.
- The Mood Matrix in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Dual Destinies, which visualises the emotions a witness is experiencing during a testimony, can sometimes lead to this. The first step in Pulling the Thread towards the real culprit in "Turnabout Reclaimed" is noticing that they don't exhibit surprise when recounting details of how the body was found.
- Sleepless Domain: In Chapter 14, when Cassidy and Undine are paired for sparring during their training club, Cassidy proceeds to attack Undine, expressing suspicion that she was somehow responsible for the fate of Team Alchemical. Among the reasons she cites for this is just how quickly Undine seemed to bounce back after her teammates' death, continuing to go out on patrol and joining the Magical Girl Power Training Club "like nothing happened" less than a week later. Readers, however, know just how heavily these events have weighed on Undine and, in fact, her joining the club was primarily to get strong enough to do something about it.
- Played with on Daria: in "The Misery Chick", when ace football star Tommy Sherman is killed when a goal post dedicated to him falls on him, at least four characters (Kevin, Britney, Mr. O'Neill, and Sandy) come to Daria asking for advice on how to cope since she is reacting to the tragedy with such relative indifference.
- Parodied on a Treehouse of Horror episode of The Simpsons when the family hits Flanders with their car and apparently kill him. At the funeral Homer cautions that if they look too sad they'll draw suspicion. So they walk in with wide smiles.
- Lindy Chamberlain was wrongly accused and convicted of murdering her baby daughter, and the media made hay of the fact that she didn't act the way they thought was right. She was probably dazed or numb with grief, but to them, the fact that she wasn't bawling her eyes out made her guilty. She was eventually released... but all up, it was not one of the Australian legal system or media's proudest moments.
- This accusation was also leveled at the McCann parents about the still-unsolved disappearance of their child Madeleine in Portugal in 2007.
- While never accused of the crime (in fact she was one of the victims) something very close to this happened to Emma Jangestig in Sweden 2005. Jangestig and her two small children were assaulted by Christine Schürrer, an ex-girlfriend of the children's father. Schürrer bludgeoned Jangestig and her children with a hammer, killing the children and leaving the mother in a serious condition. In the aftermath of the crimes Jangestig was never seen crying in public and often smiled for the cameras when being interviewed, which sparked a large debate on whether she really cared about her children's deaths at all. Eventually, Jangestig wrote a book titled "Varför gråter inte Emma?" ("Why Doesn't Emma Cry?") about the murders, her recovery in the hospital, and the aftermath. As the title suggests, the book also deals with why she didn't cry in public and makes it clear that the loss of her children is the biggest tragedy of her life.
- This trope was in full effect and immediately noted by the police officers who responded to Scott Peterson's house when he reported his wife Laci missing, who was also pregnant with his unborn child. They both noted his calm demeanor, and when they went to check the garage, Peterson was more concerned with making certain they didn't scratch the paint on one of his cars than seeing if Laci had been in there. There's also the infamous picture of him laughing at a candlelight vigil for Laci, taken either before or after he called his mistress and chatted with her about how much he was enjoying the New Year's festivities in Paris.
- Josh Powell couldn't even be bothered to act concerned about his missing wife Susan, offering the cops vague, ridiculous answers as to what could have happened to her and even saying he wanted to "wait a few days" (time is of the essence in a missing person investigation) before coming to the police station and speaking with them some more.
- The controversial case of Amanda Knox largely revolves around this concept - Amanda's roommate Meredith was found murdered in her room, and Amanda and her boyfriend were suspected of being involved, even after another man confessed to being responsible for the killing and was convicted. Knox and her boyfriend were originally found guilty and imprisoned, then acquitted, but the Italian police still insist they are guilty. Their main reason for believing this? Knox was not seen to be truly grieving over the murder, as she was seen the day after hugging and kissing her boyfriend in public, and doing jumping jacks in the police station between interviews. Because no one who had just had a person close to them horribly killed would ever want to seek some comfort in someone they felt safe with, or gotten bored sitting around having nothing to do.
- The DA who prosecuted Susan Smith for murdering her sons claims to have known she was guilty from the very night she was claiming they'd been kidnapped when he watched the interview they gave to the news. While her estranged husband David looked legitimately terrified, she could be seen smiling and giggling "We're going to be on TV!" She had a similar reaction when the detective questioning her asked her if the alleged carjacker had sexually assaulted her, piquing his suspicions as well. The same DA also doubted that she had any remorse for her actions as she claimed, noting that during her trial, while a tape simulating how her children drowned was played, she played tic-tac-toe. Even the police sketch artist noticed this, citing how she acted hysterical when her husband David was present but was completely matter-of-fact whenever he left and while describing the alleged kidnapper.
- Truth in Television. This has been cited on many crime shows as the reason why cops get suspicious of supposedly grieving loved ones. Conversely, cops have also gotten leery of those who are overly upset, feeling that they are putting on an act. Of course, as most people will be killed by someone they know, the cops have to suspect them in any case, regardless of emotional reaction. Though they might feel bad about having to do it if they show just the right kind of reaction.
- The murder of Kristine Fitzhugh is an inversion. Her husband Kenneth staged the scene to look like she'd fallen on the basement stairs due to unstable shoes he said he'd warned her about. His performance in the interview room trying to sell the story was an over-the-top scenery-chewing performance (including Milking the Giant Cow) that has to be seen to be believed. Needless to say, no one believed it.
- Lowell Lee Andrews had a completely apathetic reaction to the death of his family, telling the cop "look inside" and saying he didn't care how his family was buried. The family minister was able to get him to confess and he was later hanged for the crime.
- This was noticed about Diane Downs from the moment she arrived at a hospital with her three children, claiming that a stranger had shot them all while trying to carjack her—she cared far more about the damage to her car and her own injury than that of her children, laughed while reenacting the crime for the police, and had the same giddy demeanor when discussing it with the media.
- Han Tak Lee, infamously imprisoned for arson and murder after his daughter perished in a house fire, was targeted for suspicion mainly because of his emotionless demeanor when discussing his daughter's death (that and the fact that he had packed a suitcase shortly before escaping the house). He was exonerated 24 years later due to evidence that the house fire could not have been intentional. It's generally accepted that the lack of emotion was due both to cultural differences (Lee is a first-generation Korean immigrant) and Lee's general unflappability, both of which illustrate serious problems with trying to apply this trope to real life.
- A rape victim's stoic demeanor, along with some minor inconsistencies in her story, caused her account to be disbelieved by police, and even charged with false reporting. Years later, they learned that she not only told the truth, but there were many other victims of the same man who attacked her.
- This was noted by everyone—friends, neighbors, police, the media—about Christopher Watts regarding his missing pregnant wife Shanann and their daughters, despite his attempting to act as if he was concerned.
- A cop questioning Jussie Smollett about the racist/homophobic attack he'd suffered noted that he was completely nonchalant about the noose that had been placed around his neck, something that would have repulsed and horrified any black person. Sure enough, evidence soon surfaced that he'd staged the whole thing.
- Not having a hysteric emotional response to a horrific event? Understandable. But making idle chit-chat with neighbors and police when they show up after your brother called 911 to report that he had shot and killed your husband (who filed for divorce against you a few months earlier due to you having threatened to murder him) in "self-defense" in your house, an event witnessed by both of your minor children, then going on to host a pool party at that same house that very night? Apparently, Lori Vallow didn't think that would set off alarm bells... and incredibly, it didn't, with local police closing the case and not investigating either Lori or her brother Alex Coxnote any further. Lori would later move from Arizona to Idaho with her kids, J.J. and Tylee, to be close to her new (married) boyfriend, Chad Daybell, whom she had met the previous year. As soon as she did, both J.J. and Tylee disappeared, and she once again didn't seem too bothered by it, neglecting to inform police and even telling numerous people that she had never had any children or that they had died years ago. Chad's wife suddenly died in her sleep just a month later, and both Lori and Chad would then move to Hawaii and get married two weeks after that, still apparently not caring about the missing kids. They were both finally arrested a few months laternote , and an investigation of Chad Daybell's Idaho home revealed the remains of both J.J. and Tylee.

Scores of people from Orange and surrounding counties came down Monday with a seasonal ailment that's mostly been dormant this winter: the snow bug.
In the wake of recent storms, thousands of people played hooky in the mountains and took advantage of fresh snow that blanketed slopes.
But the local action isn't expected to last much longer.
Mountain High at Wrightwood reopened Sunday but will close for the season Wednesday and expects to remain shuttered unless enough natural snow falls before April 1, said John McColly, chief marketing officer.
Snow Summit and Bear Mountain should have enough snow to remain open at least through the end of March, said Chris Riddle, vice president of marketing for Big Bear Resorts.
The picture is whiter and brighter in the Sierras. Lake Tahoe has new powder and Mammoth got 54 inches of snow from the recent storms – six inches between 3 and 4 p.m. on Friday alone.
Ski season in local mountains typically runs from mid-November through mid- to late April, and sometimes well into May. But warmer-than-average temperatures and a lack of natural snowfall have conspired to make it a bleak winter for skiers and snowboarders, with resorts struggling to keep slopes covered for snow-starved mountain junkies.
Monday, Kevin Hearn wanted to make sure his 8-year-old son Logan had his story straight.
"I think you're sick, by the way," Hearn, of San Diego, said with a smile at the bottom of the lifts at Snow Summit. "When (your teachers) ask, you had strep throat or something for two days."
Anaheim Hills snowboarder Kristi Marshall followed the snow report closely, and when powder started to fall she quickly got her shift covered as a server at Roy's restaurant.
"This is my first time this season," she said, noting that the lackluster conditions have deterred her from taking the windy drive up to Big Bear. "Fresh snow was a good reason to get up here."
About 3,000 people showed up at Snow Summit on Monday, double the typical number on any other given weekday, Riddle said. About 2,400 flocked to Bear Mountain.
"Mother Nature has been rather stingy this year," Riddle said. "It's nice that she finally came through."
Bear Mountain and Snow Summit got about 12 inches of snow from the recent storms. The resorts usually get about 75-100 inches of snow each season but this year have only seen 20 inches, and that includes the latest snowfall.
At Heavenly Ski Resort in South Lake Tahoe, a steady stream of skiers flocked to take advantage of fresh powder. Clouds kept conditions cool as visitors tried out recently opened runs.
In Mammoth, Hayden Packwing, 35, from Los Angeles couldn't stay off the slopes Monday and climbed onto the top of the Mammoth summit post while friends snapped a photo.
"This is an awesome weekend," he said. "The conditions are amazing."
Down at Main Lodge, Paul Barnes, 59, from San Clemente grabbed lunch with longtime buddy Gus Freshwater, 59, from Dallas. "This is the first day I've skied this year," said Barnes, who retired from the oil business Saturday.
"It's fabulous today," Barnes said. "Perfect weather, great snow and not crowded."
Closer to home, skiers and snowboarders can take advantage of specials on passes that local lift operators hope will salvage losses from this season.
Snow Summit says prices for its season passes for the 2014-15 season are the lowest since the mid-'90s, and beginning Monday, the resort announced that passes for next year also can be used for the remainder of the current season.
At Mountain High, $249 will get you an adult season pass for the remainder of this season and all of next season – a 64 percent discount.
On Tuesday, visitors to Mountain High will be given free Mardi Gras beads, and all items in the resort store will be discounted 50 percent.
As for food, Mountain High will be serving up $5 jambalaya – warm, just like this winter.

Scientific name: ara macao
Macaws are a group of parrots found in tropical areas. The most recognizable kind of macaw is the scarlet macaw in the picture. Macaws are often kept as pets.
Maggot is the common name for the larvae of flies. Flies typically lay their eggs or put live maggots onto rotting food that they find. Maggots are very commonly seen in carrion. The maggots eat the food, grow bigger and then pupate and turn into flies.
Magpies are a black and white bird related to the crow. They are very intelligent. They eat dead animals they find, insects and anything else they find that they can eat. The magpie in the picture is an Australian magpie.
Mis forMaine Coon
Maine coons are one of the largest cat breeds. They are from the United States, where it is thought they might have come about from local cats breeding with bobcats. They are gentle cats, with long, flowing hair and sometimes tufts on the ends of their ears.
Maltese are small toy or lap dogs with silky white hair. They are an ancient breed, and were used as a lap dog by ladies in Roman times. They have black eyes and a black nose, which gives them a very "cute" appearance. Maltese are cuddly companion dogs, and thrive on attention but can be snappy around children. They have a reputation for being a yappy dog.
Scientific name: family: trichechidae, genus: trichechus
Manatees, also called sea cows, are mammals closely related to the dugong. They grow to around 3 meters long, and weigh around 4,000 pounds (1,700kg). They eat plants in fairly shallow water around the coast and in rivers.
Mis forMandarin duck
Scientific name: aix galericulata
Mandarin ducks are a very striking and attractive kind of duck originally from China and parts of Russia. As with most birds, the female of the species is a dull brown.
Manx cats are originally from the Isle of Man. They have a mutation of the spine that leaves them with either a very short tail or no tail at all.

Mocking a singleton is relatively easy.
To begin with, singleton's are all alone in the world; don't be afraid to point this out. Also, most singletons are created, get this, not even in a factory, but merely in a factory method. Finally there is the point that they are little more than dressed-up globals, and IME experience cause more heartache than they're worth. You can point to the many nasty screeds about singletons there are out on the net. All in all, mocking it shouldn't be too hard. A word: if your singleton has unusually large body parts, stoop to insulting that. Sometimes, to be kind, you have to be cruel.
