4 Reasons Why People who Watch World Cup are Smart

So the month long ceremony has ended. The Germans snatched the prestigious title away from the Argentineans in the extra time and were crowned champions of the world. Everybody knows that.

Now I am going to tell you guys why watching the world cup was a smart choice. This one is dedicated to my Asian readers so it might not be relevant to people on the other parts of the world. But what the heck read it anyways.

Buying Jerseys and feeling like a team

People want to be a part of a group or an association and support their teams. That is a biological character. So the average Joe walks into a jersey shop and buys a jersey to support his team and ends up spending slightly more than the original price because of its increased demand. And proudly walks wearing his new jersey. Very smart J

Why would anybody waste their money in buying jerseys? I accept it has something to do with the emotions of supporting your team to the fullest. But what if your team loses? You can NOT reuse their jersey. (If you do it, you are shameless.) And also you are buying the jerseys at a high cost. And on top of that, your country is not even playing in the world cup. This makes no sense to me. And even if the team you were supporting won the cup, so what? That is not your country. You feeling good over somebody else’s country victory is invalid.

Sleep Deprivation for enjoyment

I don’t even need to talk about this. Staying up late night and sacrificing your health for watching somebody else’s country win over somebody else’s country. Very smart J

Betting for that extra cash

This world cup has brought substantial rise in the trend of betting over either one of the playing teams against a friend or acquaintance. So what people do is they stay up late nights, put their money on the line and expect their team to win. Very smart J

The losing party gets cut twice firstly because their team lost and secondly because they lost their money. Terrible. The winning side also loses, not immediately but eventually. Let me explain. Let’s suppose you are the winning party. You are delighted you made some money. You feel invincible and automatically you are going to bet the next time because last time you won. And before you will know you will start losing money.

Buying drinks, enjoying and making Breweries Richer

The amount of alcoholic products that get sold in events like this is huge. These breweries make a lot of profit. The average person who buys alcoholic products to make their world cup special is losing his money and he does not even realize it.
Have you thought about how the world cup had been going on for over a month? That means you buy more drinks than you would on other occasions. And there is always somebody else with you. That means even more drinks.

When it all ends, what do you get? A hole in your pocket watching somebody else’s country win and a bad liver from all the drinking. Very smart J

Top 6 Simple Steps to a Positive Lifestyle

It sucks to be depressed and sad. Everybody wants to be happy and positive. Everybody wants to have the ability to face whatever comes forth. A negative lifestyle will make you crawl into a hole when you should be facing the world and coming out victorious. So I share with you some tips to living positively.

Step 1 : Hang out with Positive people who support you

Spending time with people who put you down, people who do not inspire you or provide you with hope is toxic for your health and career. Life is too short to hang out with people who drain you up. Only when you leave the circle of negative people, will you get the chance to meet people who will positively influence you. This is your life and you have the power to chose. So chose.

Step 2  : Always be kind and honest with yourself

Things happen and that is life. Always remember, this is your life and it is your opinion that matters. Don’t let other people’s like or dislike of what you think is right cloud your judgment and don’t you second guess yourself. If you have not lived to your expectations, just be honest with yourself. Pat on that shoulder and forgive yourself. You will feel much better and much lighter that way. And you can later inspire yourself to do better.

Step 3 : Learn to talk positively when you talk to yourself

When it comes to you, it is your brain that makes this world appear and feel real for you. If you did not have a brain, you would not perceive anything. So everything is your mind. One way to make your mind positive and see things positive is positive self talk. When you talk to yourself optimistically, big challenges appear do able. You will find confidence. Always talk positively with yourself.

Step 4 : Read stuff that uplifts you


Reading to brain is like exercising to body. When you read, your mind becomes tougher and sharper. And when you read something that uplifts you, you will be killing two birds with one bullets. It will make you positive, confident, smarter, sophisticated and many other things. So read as much as you can. But remember to read things that benefit you in some way.

6 reson for abortion



1. Abortion Offends God

Abortion is never a mere personal choice but a grave offense against God and His creation. The anti-abortion struggle has always been a religious battle and foremost in its ranks have been Catholics across the country. This is because Church teaching on abortion is clear and unequivocal: Abortion is murder. There are no exceptions allowed, no compromises possible.

2. The Unnoticed War

The continuing war on terror has lead to a renewed national consciousness of the high price of war, and, for many, a heightened desire for peace. Yet, despite all this concern, the most horrible war of all has gone all but unnoticed. This is a war going on within our own borders, and it has claimed 56 million American lives in the last 41 years.

This scourge is as horrible as anything terrorists can fathom, because it strikes at the very core of humanity and our country: the family. By destroying the most basic human bond of all—that between mother and child—abortion dissolves the precious glue that binds our nation together.

While mother and child are the first victims, there is not a single element of society that is not affected by abortion. Mother, child, father, husband, aunt, uncle, friend, sibling and grandparent alike suffer the scars of the abortionist’s scalpel. Peace abroad is meaningless without peace at home.

3. Life starts at the moment of conception

This is the definition given in any respectable medical textbook. To declare a beginning of life at any point after the fusing of a wife’s egg and a husband’s contribution is irrational and an exercise in sophistical chicanery. Only machines such as clocks and cars come into existence part by part. Living beings come into existence all at once and gradually unfold their world of innate potential. A living human person begins to exist at the moment of conception, even though only as a cell. What is important is not the accident of size or weight but the essence – which is fully human. The unborn baby has a distinct, unchanging and unrepeatable genetic code, unique in all of history, from the moment of conception till death. Nothing is added except nutrition and oxygen.1

4. Mankind must protect life whenever possible

The first and foremost instinct of humans is preservation of life. This begins with self-preservation, and extends to all humanity through domestic bonds and realization of a like nature. "Pregnancy termination" stops the beating heart of a growing human being and is in direct contradiction to this most basic premise of human nature. It forsakes natural law, and has left America as a country unable to repopulate itself without the aid of mass immigration.

5. Abortion is unsafe

Compared with other medical procedures, the abortion industry is largely unregulated. Although there are no exact statistics for the number of women who die from botched procedures, LifeDynamics.com compiled a list of 347 women killed by legal abortions since 1973.2 Furthermore, the National Cancer Institute commissioned a study lead by Dr. Janet Daling, an abortion supporter, and her colleagues at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center which found a link between abortion and cancer: "among women who had been pregnant at least once, the risk of breast cancer in those who had experienced an induced abortion was 50% higher than among other women."

The Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer reports: "28 out of 37 worldwide studies have independently linked induced abortion with breast cancer. Thirteen out of fifteen studies conducted on American women report increased risk. Seventeen studies are statistically significant, sixteen of which found increased risk. Most of the studies have been conducted by abortion supporters." 3

6. A biogenetic Tower of Babel

In a cynical but logical progression, the culture of death is now bent on engendering human life so as to destroy it. Its new frontier is embryonic stem-cell and human cloning research. In the name of science and health, human life is destroyed at its very inception and "limited" cloning is used to produce usable cells that can be manipulated and harvested to aid the living. In short, the remaining ethical barriers that preserve human dignity and God's rights in Creation are steadily coming down. The biotech revolution has as its avowed goal not just curing disease but the construction of a "brave new world" of genetic engineering, changing the very makeup and design of man himself. We cannot permit the completion of this challenge to God, a new Tower of Babel, which will be like another Pandora's box, unleashing untold ethical and moral havoc on our nation.

6 way to say no to drugs

Refusal Skills
So, what do you do when someone pressures you to try drugs?
What are ways I can stay in charge? ~9 ways to say “NO” to Drugs~
It is important to note that each person is different and what works for one person may not work for you. You need to review this list and choose a few that you are comfortable using. Practice with your family to gain confidence!
1. Say “NO THANKS”. The easiest but some forget to try it. This often works when you are faced with friendly or teasing pressure.
2. Give a Reason, Fact or Excuse. The excuse needs to get you away from the person or situation. Practice an excuse so that you won’t hesitate and will sound confident. Have a code word to use with your parents. Text them the word and have them call to say you need to come home.
“My mom just called. Sorry..I gotta go. Something’s going on at home”.
“My parents would ground me for life”
“I forgot that I have a doctor’s appt. this afternoon”
“I already lost my phone privileges last week. If they find me doing this stuff I will not be able to go anywhere for a month!”
3. Walk Away. One of the most effective refusal skills. You may feel obligated to stand and face “the enemy” but you need to just leave. Say no and walk away while saying it.
4. Change the Subject. You can offer another alternative activity.
“No. Let’s go play ball instead”
“Let’s go get a snack at my house. I’m hungry.”
“I wanted to play my Xbox this afternoon”
5. Use Humor.
“No thanks. This stuff stunts my growth. I want to be tall to play ball.”
“Man, I need all the brain cells I can get. No thanks.”
“Pot makes you fat, stupid and gives you yellow teeth..I’ll pass.”
6. Broken Record or Repeated Refusal. Keep saying “no” over and over again. It will buy you some time to use another refusal technique or be an annoyance.

say no to computer games


Video Games Are A Waste of Time

   Did you know you can get arthiritis in your hands by playing video games so much? Most video games are non educational and also violent??? Is it a good idea to play video games then?? Also, video games aren't going to help people in their life. Are you going to be smarter because you play video games? Will you get a good job and income due to video games? There are better ways to entertain yourself that is also educational
 

Video games are not a waste of time.

   I believe that video games are not a waste of time like what most people seem to think. What do you think most people do when they are not doing anything? Probably watching TV or reading? How is this not as active as playing a video game? I believe that video games are far more interesting and can do a lot more than read or watching tv. Don't get me wrong, I love reading but everything is already set in motion and you cannot change the story what so ever. 
 
I personally believe its a waste of time. What is the point of beating a game and losing bucks on it? I dont find any good for games. For example I played the Tombraider series for years and now I regretted every moment I spent on them. Most of those who make video games dont play their own games or others video games. Video games are beautiful somehow but they isolate you from your family and atmosphere. I believe, if you want to play video games, then play a video game that is short and not complicated to avoid killing much time or simply smash your PS3 console and GET A LIFE.
 

Since I rarely come across anti-video game articles, I figured I would contribute my own brand of disdain. First I must confess that I spent a great deal of my late teens dead locked to any device that sported a screen. I am an adult of the “Mortal Kombat” and “Killer Instinct” clan, and I must say, oh how I wish I would have used that time more wisely.
Parents, video games are not all innocence and free play. It is difficult not to take advantage of such easy baby sitters.  It is difficult to embrace the thought that your young are constantly developing and you must monitor the junk food they consume nutritionally as well as electronically.  There can never be a surrogate for respect, self esteem or humbleness if video games are your substitute.  Parents, be a mentor, not an enabler.  I am a parent; yes it’s quite a challenge.
Young adults and teens please think about what you are saying of life; please think about the investment of your precious time you will never redeem by animated graphic control. I truly wish someone would have set me aside and asked me to write out the benefits to my life that video games bring me. I truly wish that someone would have said, “Look ten years from now and ask yourself how you plan to reap the fruit of countless hours of video games?”  How many relationships have you built?  What jobs have you prepared for?  What do you want to create in life? If I were to answer my inquisitor honestly, I wouldn’t have an answer worth leaving my lips.
Looking back at the void this time created in my persona, I can safely say that I might as well have been inebriated. Please understand how I see my life transformed by the ruthlessness of time. If I am not at work, I am fussing with school, if I am not researching, then I am writing. Productivity is a drum I beat myself against. If my time isn’t dedicated to producing, then it must finally be spent soaking up the miracle of my little girl and wife. There is no doubt that age brings wisdom and with wisdom comes discernment. I lament the lost time I could have been mining books for information, socializing with life made mobile, or gazing the wonders of God’s green earth.
You cannot experience deep meaningful friendship transfixed on pixels. You cannot explore the philosophical differences of your matured family members wearing a headset. Will you appreciate the fall colors from inside your home? Will you spot a deer hidden by the woods from the corner of your eye, sitting in your arm chair? Will your lover want to ravish you after 12 hours straight of game play, wearing your baggy sweats, emanating the musty odor of ‘lazy man?’ Ask yourself; How do I want to be remembered?

Top 6 serail killer


Top 6 Evil Serial Killers

These are not just the standard notorious serial killers; these are some of the most horrific killers to have been found guilty of their crimes. They are on this list either because of the nature of their crime, or the sheer number of their killings. In no particular order:
1. Gilles de Rais, Born 1404 [Crimelibrary]
Gilles
Gilles de Rais (a French nobleman) is considered to be the precursor to the modern serial killer. Before he began his killing spree, he rode as a military captain in the army lead by St Joan of Arc – though it is unlikely that she knew him. He was accused and ultimately convicted of torturing, raping and murdering dozens, if not hundreds, of young children, mainly boys.
According to surviving accounts, Rais lured children, mainly young boys who were blond haired and blue eyed (as he had been as a child), to his residences, and raped, tortured and mutilated them, often ejaculating, perhaps via masturbation, over the dying victim. He and his accomplices would then set up the severed heads of the children in order to judge which was the most fair. The precise number of Rais’s victims is not known, as most of the bodies were burned or buried. The number of murders is generally placed between 80 and 200; a few have conjectured numbers upwards of 600. The victims ranged in age from six to eighteen and included both sexes. Although Rais preferred boys, he would make do with young girls if circumstances required.
At the transcript of the trial, one of Gilles servants Henriet (an accomplice to his crimes) described the actions of his master, which were essentially:
Henriet soon began to collect children for his master, and was present whilst he massacred them. They were murdered invariably in one room at Machecoul. The marshal used to bathe in their blood; he was fond of making Gilles do Sillé, Pontou, or Henriet torture them, and he experienced intense pleasure in seeing them in their agonies. But his great passion was to welter in their blood. His servants would stab a child in the jugular vein, and let the blood squirt over him. The room was often steeped in blood. When the horrible deed was done, and the child was dead, the marshal would be filled with grief for what he had done, and would toss weeping and praying on a bed, or recite fervent prayers and litanies on his knees, whilst his servants washed the floor, and burned in the huge fireplace the bodies of the murdered children. With the bodies were burned the clothes and everything that had belonged to the little victims. An insupportable odour filled the room, but the Maréchal do Retz inhaled it with delight
2. Richard Trenton Chase, Born 1950 [Crimelibrary]
Richard Trenton Chase
Richard Trenton Chase (May 23, 1950 – December 26, 1980) was an American serial killer who killed six people in the span of a month in California. He earned the nickname The Vampire of Sacramento due to his drinking of his victims’ blood and his cannibalism. He did this as part of a delusion that he needed to prevent Nazis from turning his blood into powder via poison they had planted beneath his soap dish.
On December 29, 1977, Chase killed his first victim in a drive-by shooting, Ambrose Griffin, a 51-year-old engineer and father of two. Chase’s next victim was Teresa Wallin. Three months pregnant, Teresa was surprised at her home by Chase, who shot her three times, killing her. He then had sex with the corpse and mutilated it, bathing in the dead woman’s blood. On January 27, Chase committed his final murders. Entering the home of 38-year-old Evelyn Miroth, he encountered her neighbor, Don Meredith, who he shot with the same .22 handgun. Stealing Meredith’s wallet and car keys, he rampaged through the house, fatally shooting Evelyn Miroth, her 6-year-old son Jason, and Miroth’s 22-month-old nephew, David. As with Teresa Wallin, Chase engaged in necrophilia and cannibalism with Miroth’s corpse. Chase returned to his home, where he drank David’s blood and ate several of the infant’s internal organs before disposing of the body at a nearby church. A witness saw him leaving the scene where he left perfect fingerprints and shoe-prints – leading to his arrest.
On May 8 Chase was found guilty of six counts of first degree murder and was sentenced to die in the gas chamber. Waiting to die, Chase became a feared presence in prison; the other inmates (including several gang members), aware of the graphic and bizarre nature of his crimes, feared him, and according to prison officials, they often tried to convince Chase to commit suicide. On December 26, 1980, a guard doing cell checks found Chase lying awkwardly on his bed, not breathing. An autopsy determined that he committed suicide with an overdose of prison doctor-prescribed antidepressants that he had been saving up over the last few weeks.
3. Jeffrey Dahmer, Born 1960 [Crimelibrary]
Dahmer1
Dahmer murdered at least 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991, with the majority of the murders occurring between 1989 and 1991. His murders were particularly gruesome, involving acts of forced sodomy, necrophilia, dismemberment, and cannibalism. Dahmer committed his first murder when he was 18, killing Steven Hicks, a 19 year-old hitchhiker. Dahmer invited Hicks to his house, and killed him because he “didn’t want him to leave.”
On September 25, 1988, he was arrested for sexually fondling a 13-year-old Laotian boy in Milwaukee, for which he served 10 months of a one year sentence in a work release camp. However, in 1988 there was not yet a law requiring offenders to register when convicted of a sex crime against a minor. He convinced the judge that he needed therapy, and he was released with a five-year probation on good behavior. Shortly thereafter, he began a string of murders that would end with his arrest in 1991.
In the early morning hours of May 27, 1991, 14-year-old Milwaukee Laotian Konerak Sinthasomphone (the younger brother of the boy Dahmer had molested) was discovered on the street, wandering nude. Reports of the boy’s injuries varied. Dahmer told police that they had an argument while drinking, and that Sinthasomphone was his 19 year-old lover. Against the teenager’s protests, police turned him over to Dahmer. They had no suspicions, but reported smelling a strange scent. That scent was later found to be bodies in the back of his room. Later that night Dahmer killed and dismembered Sinthasomphone, keeping his skull as a souvenir. By the summer of 1991, Dahmer was murdering approximately one person each week.
On July 22, 1991, Dahmer lured another man, Tracy (Traci) Edwards, into his home. According to the would-be victim, Dahmer struggled with Edwards in order to handcuff him. Edwards escaped and alerted a police car, with the handcuffs still hanging from one hand. Edwards led police back to Dahmer’s apartment. The story of Dahmer’s arrest and the gruesome inventory in his apartment quickly gained notoriety: several corpses were stored in acid-filled vats, severed heads were found in his refrigerator, and implements for the construction of an altar of candles and human skulls were found in his closet. Accusations soon surfaced that Dahmer had practiced necrophilia, cannibalism, and possibly a form of trepanation in order to create so-called “zombies.”
The court found Dahmer guilty on 15 counts of murder and sentenced him to 15 life terms, totalling 937 years in prison. At his sentencing hearing, Dahmer expressed remorse for his actions, also saying that he wished for his own death. On November 28, 1994, Dahmer and another inmate named Jesse Anderson were beaten to death by fellow inmate Christopher Scarver while on work detail in the prison gym. Dahmer died from severe head trauma in the ambulance en route to the hospital.
4. Albert Fish, Born 1870 [Crimelibrary]
Albert-Fish-1
Albert Fish, also known as the Gray Man, the Werewolf of Wysteria and possibly the Brooklyn Vampire, boasted that he molested over 100 children, and was a suspect in at least five killings. Fish confessed to three murders that police were able to trace to a known homicide, and confessed to stabbing at least two other people. He was put on trial for the murder of Grace Budd, and was convicted and executed.
Fish was visited in prison by the mother of his victim Billy Gaffney to get more details about the death of her son. Fish said:
[I c]ut one of my belts in half, slit these halves in six strips about 8 inches long. I whipped his bare behind till the blood ran from his legs. I cut off his ears, nose, slit his mouth from ear to ear. Gouged out his eyes. He was dead then. I stuck the knife in his belly and held my mouth to his body and drank his blood. I picked up four old potato sacks and gathered a pile of stones. Then I cut him up. I had a grip with me. I put his nose, ears and a few slices of his belly in the grip. Then I cut him through the middle of his body. Just below the belly button. Then through his legs about 2 inches below his behind. I put this in my grip with a lot of paper. I cut off the head, feet, arms, hands and the legs below the knee.
In addition to this horrifying description, Fish confessed to eating parts of Billy:
I made a stew out of his ears, nose, pieces of his face and belly. I put onions, carrots, turnips, celery, salt and pepper. It was good. Then I split the cheeks of his behind open, cut off his monkey and pee wees and washed them first. I put strips of bacon on each cheek of his behind and put them in the oven. Then I picked 4 onions and when the meat had roasted about 1/4 hour, I poured about a pint of water over it for gravy and put in the onions. At frequent intervals I basted his behind with a wooden spoon. So the meat would be nice and juicy. In about 2 hours, it was nice and brown, cooked through. I never ate any roast turkey that tasted half as good as his sweet fat little behind did.
At his trial, several psychiatrists testified about Fish’s sexual fetishes, including coprophilia, urophilia, pedophilia and masochism. X-rays of Fish’s pelvis show needles which he inserted in to his skin for sexual pleasure.
5. Andrei Chikatilo, Born 1936 [Crimelibrary]
Him049A005Ap04
Andrei Chikatilo was a Ukrainian serial killer, nicknamed the Butcher of Rostov and ‘The Red Ripper.’ He was convicted of the murder of 53 women and children between 1978 and 1990. In 1978, Chikatilo moved to Shakhty, a small coal mining town near Rostov, where he committed his first documented murder. On December 22, he lured a nine-year-old girl to an old house which he bought in secret from his family and attempted to rape her. When the girl struggled, he stabbed her to death. He ejaculated in the process of knifing the child, and from then on he was only able to achieve sexual arousal and orgasm through stabbing and slashing women and children to death. Despite evidence linking Chikatilo to the girl’s death, a young man, Alexsandr Kravchenko, was arrested and later tried and executed for the crime.
He established a pattern of approaching runaways and young vagrants at bus or railway stations and enticing them to leave. A quick trip into a nearby forest was the scene for the victim’s death. In 1983, he did not kill until June, but then he murdered four victims before September. The victims were all women and children. The adult females were often prostitutes or homeless tramps who could be lured with promises of alcohol or money. Chikatilo would usually attempt intercourse with these victims, but would usually be unable to get an erection, which would send him into a murderous fury. The child victims were of both sexes, and Chikatilo would lure them away with his friendly, talkative manner by promising them toys or candy. In the USSR at the time, reports of crimes like child rape and serial murder were often suppressed by the state-controlled media, as such crimes were regarded as being common only in “hedonistic capitalist nations.”
In 1988 Chikatilo resumed killing, generally keeping his activities far from the Rostov area. He murdered a woman in Krasny-Sulin in April and went on to kill another eight people that year, including two victims in Shakhty. Again there was a long lapse before Chikatilo resumed killing, murdering seven boys and two women between January and November of 1990. He was finally caught when trying to approach young children whilst under police surveillance. He went to trial on April 14, 1992. Despite his odd and disruptive behavior in court, he was judged fit to stand trial. During the trial he was famously kept in a cage in the center of the courtroom; it was constructed for his own protection from the relatives of the deceased. The trial had a very disturbing atmosphere. The relatives kept shouting threats and insults to Chikatilo, demanding the authorities to release him so that they could execute him on their own. He was found guilty of 52 of the 53 murders and sentenced to death for each offense.
He was executed by firing squad (shot in the back of the head) on February 14, 1994 after Russian president Boris Yeltsin refused a last ditch appeal by Chikatilo for clemency.
6. Joachim Kroll, Born 1933 [Crimelibrary]
Krolledit
Kroll was a German serial killer and cannibal. He was known as the Ruhr Cannibal (Ruhrkannibale), and the Duisburg Man-Eater (Duisburger Menschenfresser). He was convicted of eight murders but confessed to a total of 13.
On July 3, 1976, Kroll was arrested for kidnapping and killing a four-year-old girl named Marion Ketter. As police went from home to home, a neighbor approached a policeman and told him that the waste-pipe in his apartment building had blocked up, and when he had asked his neighbor, Kroll, whether he knew what had been blocking the pipe, Kroll had simply replied; “Guts”. Upon this report, the police went up to Kroll’s apartment and found the body of the Ketter girl cut up: some parts were in the fridge, a hand was cooking in a pan of boiling water and the intestines were found stuck in the waste-pipe.
Kroll said that he often sliced portions of flesh from his victims to cook and eat them, claiming that he did this to save on his grocery bills. In custody, he believed that he was going to get a simple operation to cure him of his homicidal urges and would then be released from prison. Instead he was charged with eight murders and one attempted murder. In April 1982, after a 151-day trial, he was convicted on all counts and was given nine life sentences. He died of a heart attack in 1991 in the prison of Rheinbach, near Bonn.

Anthony Weiner or carlos Dander

Former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner is now being accused of trading inappropriate messages–including another explicit image–with a 22-year-old woman shortly after he resigned from Congress over a extramarital sexting scandal in June 2011. He has not denied the allegation.
At a news conference late Tuesday afternoon at Gay Men’s Health Crisis headquarters, an HIV-advocacy organization, in New York City, Weiner largely reiterated his earlier statement with his wife, Huma Abedin, by his side. He added that he was “surprised that more things haven’t come out sooner.”
“Some of these things happened before my resignation, some of them happened after,” Weiner said. “But the fact is that was also the time that my wife and I were working through some things in our marriage.”
Weiner said he will not withdraw from the mayoral race and will continue to campaign with his wife. “I want to bring my vision to the people of the city of New York. I hope they’re willing to still continue to give me a second chance, and I hope that they realize in many ways what happened today was something that frankly had happened before, but it doesn’t represent all that much that is new.”
His wife, a longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, spoke at her first press conference and said that her husband’s resignation marked “the beginning of a time in our marriage that was very difficult and it took us a very long time to get through it.”
“It look a lot of work and a whole lot of therapy to get to a place where I could forgive Anthony. It was not an easy choice in any way but I made the decision that it was worth staying in this marriage,” Abedin said.
She also admitted that her husband “made some horrible mistakes, both before he resigned from Congress and after.”
Weiner also confirmed that he was still sending sexually explicit messages even after People magazine published a profile on him and his wife. A reporter asked him when was the last time he sent an explicit message. “Um, I can’t say exactly,” Weiner replied. “Sometime last summer, I think.”
The same reporter followed up and asked if the last message was sent after his wife told People, “It took a lot of work to get to where are are today, but I want people to know we’re a normal family.” The couple both nodded and Weiner said, “Yes, yes.”
A nightlife website, TheDirty.com, disclosed a series of lewd chat messages on Monday allegedly sent by Weiner, who used the handle “Carlos Danger,” to a woman in August 2012. The website’s founder, Nik Richie, has also published an explicit photograph and a timeline of the scandal according to the anonymous woman.
The screenshots of the conversations were taken from Facebook and the social network Formspring. Richie has said he has been in contact with the young woman. According to the Richie’s source, the woman maintained a relationship on the Internet and phone for six months after being pursued by Anthony Weiner through Facebook.

Anthony Weiner found himself caught in another sexting scandal Tuesday like the one that destroyed his congressional career, but stood side-to-side with his wife to say that he will remain in the race for mayor of New York City.
“This is entirely behind me,” Weiner said at news conference, just hours after he confirmed exchanging a newly disclosed round of sexually explicit photos and text messages with a woman online.
At the news conference, he acknowledged some of the activity took place after he resigned from the House two years ago for the same sort of behavior.
The new lewd correspondence was posted Monday by the gossip website The Dirty. The woman involved was not identified.
Weiner turned the microphone over to his wife, Huma Abedin, who reaffirmed her support for her husband and said the matter is “between us.”
“I love him. I have forgiven him. And as we have said from the beginning, we are moving forward,” said Abedin, a longtime adviser to former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The allegation could severely test voters’ willingness to forgive Weiner, who has said he spent the two years since the scandal trying to make things right with his wife and earn redemption. Three of his rivals for mayor immediately called on Weiner to drop out of the race.
The 48-year-old Democrat, who resigned his House seat in June 2011 after acknowledging having sexual conversations with at least a half-dozen women, has been near the top of most mayoral polls since his late entry into the race this spring.
“I said that other texts and photos were likely to come out and today they have,” Weiner said in a statement issued by his campaign earlier in the day. “I want to again say that I am very sorry to anyone who was on the receiving end of these messages and the disruption this has caused.”
The woman with whom he exchanged the messages told The Dirty that she was 22 when she began chatting with Weiner on the social networking site Formspring. She said their online relationship began in July 2012 and lasted for six months.
She claimed Weiner used the alias “Carlos Danger” for their exchanges, but she knew she was talking to the former congressman.
The exchanges posted on The Dirty consist of sexually explicit fantasizing about various sex acts. At one point, the man reported to be Weiner wrote, “I’m deeply flawed.”
The woman said Weiner promised to help her get a job at the political website Politico and suggested meeting in a Chicago condo for a tryst.
The woman claimed that she and Weiner exchanged nude photos of themselves and engaged in frequent phone sex. The Dirty ran a pixelated photo of what appears to be a man’s genitals.

NEW YORK -- New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner admitted on Tuesday to sending additional sexually explicit photos and texts to a woman he met online -- an exchange she says began more than a year after he resigned from Congress for similar behavior.
The allegation could severely test voters' willingness to forgive Weiner, who has said he spent the two years since the scandal trying to make things right with his wife and earn redemption. Three of his rivals for mayor immediately called on Weiner to drop out of the race.
Weiner, who resigned his House seat in June 2011 after acknowledging having sexual conversations with at least a half-dozen women, has been near the top of most mayoral polls since his late entry into the race this spring.
The newly revealed X-rated correspondence was posted Monday by the gossip website The Dirty. The woman involved was not identified.
"I said that other texts and photos were likely to come out and today they have," Weiner said in a statement issued by his campaign. "I want to again say that I am very sorry to anyone who was on the receiving end of these messages and the disruption this has caused."
The 48-year-old Democrat did not say when the exchanges occurred, but he said his behavior created "challenges in our marriage that extended past my resignation."
From the beginning of his mayoral bid, Weiner has said that he learned from his mistakes and that his wife -- Huma

adviser to Hillary Rodham Clinton -- was the driving force behind his comeback attempt.
The woman, who told the website she was 22 when she began chatting with Weiner on the social networking site Formspring, said their online relationship began in July 2012 and lasted for six months. She claimed Weiner used the alias "Carlos Danger" for their exchanges, but she knew she was talking to the former congressman.
She said Weiner promised to help her get a job at the political website Politico and suggested meeting in a Chicago condo for a tryst.
The exchanges posted on The Dirty consist of sexually explicit fantasizing about various sex acts. At one point, the man reported to be Weiner wrote, "I'm deeply flawed."
The woman claimed that she and Weiner exchanged nude photos of themselves and engaged in frequent phone sex. The Dirty ran a pixelated photo of what appears to be a man's genitals.
"This was a bad situation for me because I really admired him. Even post scandal, I thought he was misunderstood. Until I got to know him. I thought I loved him. Pretty pathetic," the woman was quoted as telling the website.
She said he later asked her to destroy the evidence of their chats. She insisted that she never had sex with Weiner or received any payment from him.
The woman claimed her relationship with Weiner "fizzled" in November 2012. She said she last heard from him this past April, when his intention to run for mayor was first revealed in a New York Times Magazine profile.
"This behavior is behind me," Weiner said in his statement Tuesday. "I apologized to Huma and am grateful that she has worked through these issues with me and for her forgiveness."
He also said that "some things posted today are true and some are not," but he did not elaborate.
Weiner's campaign spokeswoman did not respond to requests to clarify the timing of the newly revealed exchange. Weiner's campaign announced a late-afternoon news conference. He was also expected to attend a mayoral forum later Tuesday evening.
His wife, who was pregnant when the sexting scandal broke in 2011 and gave birth months later, has played a large and increasing role in his mayoral campaign. She made an appearance in his campaign kick-off video, has led his fundraising effort and recently made her debut on the campaign trail. Two weekends ago, she walked hand-in-hand with Weiner as they talked to voters on a Harlem street.
Two of his mayoral rivals -- Public Advocate Bill de Blasio and former City Councilman Sal Albanese, both Democrats, and billionaire John Catsimatidis, a Republican -- quickly called on Weiner to abandon his quest for office, as did a lesser candidate in the race.
"Enough is enough," said de Blasio. "The sideshows of this election have gotten in the way of the debate we should be having about the future of this city."
Another mayoral hopeful, city Comptroller John Liu, stopped short of calling for Weiner to bow out, but suggested his "propensity for pornographic selfies is a valid issue for voters."
The other leading Democratic candidates, including City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and former City Comptroller Bill Thompson, did not immediately comment on the new revelations.
The disclosure suddenly puts Weiner's indiscretions, judgment and candor back in the forefront of his campaign and could test voters' confidence in him, political analysts said.
Some voters have said they felt Weiner had atoned for his past and were willing to give him a second chance. But a third, after hearing allegations that his misbehavior continued after his resignation?
"It makes it tougher to believe this is behind him," said Democratic former state Assemblyman Michael Benjamin, now a political consultant.
But given the corps of voters who have shown willingness to forgive Weiner's prior behavior, the latest revelation may not be a campaign knockout, said Jerry Skurnik, a longtime Democratic consultant who is not working with any mayoral candidates this year.
"At best, it's a minor negative" that will turn off some voters, he said. "The question is whether it's a major negative" -- and whether there were enough forgiving voters to begin with for Weiner to win.
Some New Yorkers were disappointed by the news that Weiner had apparently continued his online activities even after leaving office.
"I think he had a chance to redeem himself and if he did it twice, he really betrayed the public's trust again," said Jeremy Green, 22. "I think he's past the point of no return for New Yorkers."
The revelations come just two weeks after another scandal-scarred candidate, former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, announced his own attempt at political redemption. Spitzer, who resigned in 2008 after admitting to paying for sex with prostitutes, is running for city comptroller.
A spokeswoman for Spitzer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Weiner's problems began in May 2011, when a website run by conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart posted a photograph of a man's bulging underwear and said it had been sent from Weiner's Twitter account to a Seattle woman. Weiner denied he sent the photo, claiming his Twitter had been hacked.
But after more women came forward and more photographic evidence emerged, Weiner admitted he lied.
He then entered two years of self-imposed political exile, only to return this spring.
Under a huge media spotlight, he apologized repeatedly for his behavior in the initial days of his bid but then pivoted quickly into an issues-based campaign. He was largely well-received by voters and quickly established himself as a favorite in the race.
