. . . and the list goes on. It’s often said email marketers “live in the weeds” because email as a marketing channel involves far more nuances and decisions than other channels, as well as far more pitfalls and devilish details to beware of. Those in the trenches are consumed with the “necessary evils” of email – tactical specifics and technicalities – surely challenging enough. Add to that distracting questions from curious/less-informed co-workers or superiors and it’s easy to see how one can barely get the chance to come up for air in order to understand – let alone focus on – what truly moves the needle.
Strategy tops the list because too many companies are still lacking either a general marketing strategy, channel-specific strategies, or both. Your email marketing strategy should align with your overall marketing goals, but even if those aren’t well established, you can set channel-specific goals for what you’d like email to accomplish.
A Strategy IS: An outline of your goals, plans for how you will achieve them, and the specific tactics you’ll employ in doing so. It further details the actions you’ll take to execute those tactics.
A Strategy IS NOT: An email message calendar, mission statement, or campaign schedule. Those may be components of a strategy, or developed once you’ve determined strategy, but they fall far short of actually being a strategy.
Given the “in the weeds” nature of email marketing, it’s rare that email specialists have time to lift their heads long enough to think through – let alone actually create and deploy – an email marketing strategy. Managers and directors are often too removed from channel specifics or solely focused on developing broader marketing strategy to do the job. All the more reason it’s critical to make the commitment to strategy, even if that means doing so with the help of your agency or ESP, or outsourcing it as a consulting project (something I do a lot of).
Are you investing in new subscriber acquisition through a broad spectrum of channels (online and off?) You should be, as well as continuously monitoring and analyzing those sources by both quality and quantity.
The job doesn’t end with subscriber acquisition. Data can be flawed to begin with plus it ages over time, so treat every email address like a newly found golden nugget by also investing in email address verification, hygiene and correction services.
The palette of ways to invest in email message design, content, and customization is ever expanding and worthy of exploration. At a minimum, it’s my personal recommendation that you have in-house vs. outsourced digital design and copywriting expertise on hand. These folks should be adept at writing, designing and coding not only for the web, but the inbox too. A logical exception would be if you’re completely outsourcing the execution of your email marketing program to an agency; in that case they should have those resources and not be using subcontractors or freelancers.
I recently worked with a B2B client who hadn’t previously done much digital marketing. They’d outsourced development of their web site and had a fledgling email newsletter to a small list run from an entry-level ESP, but no one internally who could write or design email messages, landing pages or supporting content, nor anyone who could “own” digital. Outsourcing the creative and content development needed to expand their email efforts was a short-term solution, but will not be as viable or cost-effective an option for them in the long-run as hiring a full-time staff member who has ongoing ownership of the channel.
If you’re well beyond the basics of having the necessary talent on staff, it’s time to expand your investment in creative by looking at real-time content optimization services like Live Clicker, Power Inbox and Movable Ink.
Next to Strategy, if I had to pick an absolute “must” for getting the most from your email program it would be Marketing Automation. It’s no longer an aspirational “someday” for successful email marketers, it’s here and now; comprising a majority of their efforts in the channel. If your current ESP doesn’t support triggered, automated, timed, behaviorally-driven campaigns (or if it does but you’re not taking advantage of those capabilities) you’re about to be seriously left in the dust.
Investing in a new vendor. It might be time to upgrade to a new ESP or MA provider with more robust capabilities than your current one.
Investing time in learning to use the marketing automation features of your current platform, or learning to use the more advanced ones.
Investing in automated campaigns you haven’t implemented yet – like up-sell, cross-sell, NLP recos, abandonment, lead nurturing and even re-purchase/reactivation. All can be fertile ground for untapped revenue.
Investing in education and expertise to optimize the application of marketing automation in your platform, or learn what’s possible and how to do it.
Investing in technology. Perhaps an API to your CRM or eCommerce platform needs to be developed so you can use customer purchase or response history to power automated campaigns?
This is one of the most complex and resource-intensive investments in email you can make, but by some studies pays off 20-fold or more, making it well worth the growing pains.
Last but never least is campaign and data analysis. After all, what good are your precious investments if you don’t measure their impact?
Knowing the value of an email address, either via measures such as revenue-per-email (RPE) or cost to acquire (CPA).
A dedicated individual or team responsible for tracking and benchmarking channel metrics, analyzing subscriber response and response trends, and accountable for turning data into insight and sharing that within the organization.
By now you might be thinking I’ve overlooked an obvious area of investment – people! So I’ll add Talent as a sixth bonus area. You’d be hard pressed to sink time and money into the five areas above without also investing in people. Whether that means adding to staff, beefing up talent via consultants and freelancers, or investing in the education of the team you already have, successful email marketing requires not only technology, but also brains and bodies! It thrives on dedicated channel ownership and oversight, and that’s not likely to happen well (or at all) with team members already spread too thin.
Do yourself a favor come budget-time this year: assess your investment level in the five critical areas above and remember to earmark dollars for the additional expertise you’ll need in the form of people to master investments in those areas. After all, it’s people who make the difference between a championship team and a losing season.

Despite being illegal, alleycat racing in New York City is a big deal, with dozens of riders vying for the $1,000 prize at La Marqueta Chase in October.
Riding against traffic, on pavements and swerving through the tightest of gaps on the road, the riders in the race have to photograph themselves at a series of checkpoints around the city.
The catch is that they don’t find out where they are going until the last minute, meaning their navigation skills are just as important as their bike handling.
The organizer, only known as Diego, says: “The idea of an alleycat has a huge element of mystery and surprise and the adrenaline of both going to where you’re going and figuring out how at the same time – there’s no preset route.
Popular among bike messengers, official alleycat races date back to the late 1980s. The fast-paced nature of the races and the tendency of some riders to rewrite the laws of the roads inevitably leads to accidents.
And with the winner of La Marqueta missing a few teeth you can assume he’s been in a few scrapes with cars in his time.

I have come to realise over time that when I paint, I am, essentially, travelling. I go to far off lands and see things. I see structures and mountains; sometimes a horizon and a bird in flight or rain on forgotten hills. Sometimes I can feel the breeze and am filled with wonder. It's that feeling in the pit of your stomach when you are in a new and mysterious place. As with all travel, emotions run high. Sometimes a painting is heavy with sentiment and sometimes it is light, filled with delight. I feel as though I am searching for something as I add layers of paint. Often what lies before me seems to be universal; the human condition trying to find its place in the universe. In all this travelling, I am reminded of my humanness, my insignificance and the vastness inside me.
*Notes: The title 'that the stars are adamant' comes from the poem 'A Life' by Edith Södergran.

Why do we adults fall into the trap of overprotecting the children from short term struggle and under preparing them to cope with life’s long term challenges???
Intellectually we all know that over parenting undermines a child’s initiative and sends him or her off into the world unprepared to make independent choices and own the consequences of these choices, both positive and negative. Yet it seems so difficult to translate that knowledge into practice.
Parenting is a tricky concept since the nature of parenting is ever changing. Active parents, i.e. raising a minor child ever so gradually, should ideally migrate from protecting children to preparing children. We neither can straighten the bumps on their roads nor can we control their obstacles, setbacks, road blocks or any other unfavorable conditions that punctuate the journey. So the real job of active parenting is to work on ourselves out of this job so that we protect them just enough to help them prepare themselves and not vice versa.
If it is a choice between your work and your time with the child, it should be your time with the child that should get priority. Please remember that your work will always be there, your children will not.
Model the characteristics you wish your children to acquire. Set an example for the child to follow.
Don’t compare your child with others. Each child is unique and your child is God’s precious gift to you. Cherish his/her presence.
Identify the attributes of your child and be liberal in your appraisal. It can be a great morale booster.
An unsaid message that needs to go across to them is that your love is unconditional. You love them in spite of their mistakes.
Set boundaries for your children and stay consistent. They will try to expand the limitations but your firmness will augment their respect for you.
Identify the child’s areas of interest and participate in enhancing the arena.
Never cover a negative act or situation with false praise just to make the child feel comfortable. They will start having doubts about your integrity.
Give your 100% attention when you are with the child. It will help you understand even the words and actions unsaid or undone.
Learn with them, learn from them and never forget to acknowledge their contribution in this learning process.
Love is not the same as indulgence. Strike a firm balance and don’t confuse between the two.
We are living in the 21st century and the role of education has radically changed over the years. The scope and focus of education has evolved and so has the role of an educator. While it may seem apparent that the role of an educator has been relegated to the sidelines, contrary to popular perception, it has become even more crucial as a voice of reason and objectivity in this fast changing socio-economic landscape.As Moore’s law hypothesis, while technology and its paraphernalia will keep evolving and maturing every 18 odd months, the wisdomand perspective that an educator brings to the table will continue to strengthen over time, baking and growing with each passing day. Today the schools need to be effective at engaging learners towards meaningful construction of knowledge and encourage them through appropriate integration of technology to apply learning into action and relevant outcome. While technology would do its bit, teachers as facilitators add the desired human touch and provide opportunities to the students to develop critical thinking skills and engender values that help them become responsible learners.
I marvel how wisely my predecessors for more than the last four decades worked to give the right momentum to this great institution. Since its inception, the school has been able to build on the steady foundation of good values and the urge to excel. The endeavor has always been to balance excellence in academics with creativity and compassion. The objective of education has metamorphosed with the passage of time and the need of the globe. At Jaipuria we prefer to create situations where a child challenges his own ability, hence becomes his own competitor and thus keeps improving and rediscovering himself. It is the transformation of a school into an educational powerhouse that induces strength within each student to stand on his own. It becomes a source of light that illuminates the mind and soul of the students and spreads the fire of excellence and the warmth of compassion to the darkest crevices of humanity.

I need a basic flat-panel (1280x1024 resolution, <= 15ms response, 17” rather than 19”) as a second screen here. It should have no dead pixels, include all necessary cables, and be relatively clean.

wtf, did she kill ur father or sumthing?
Damn. I should keep quiet about Jerry Stiller slugging my uncle in the nuts then.
i hope she never dies.
Oscar-winning actor Peter Ustinov has died in Switzerland. He was 82.
A close friend said said Ustinov died last night. The British-born actor had lived in Switzerland for decades.
A person who answered the telephone at Ustinov’s home in a mountain village overlooking Lake Geneva confirmed he had died but declined to give further details.
Born in London on April 16, 1921, the only son of a Russian artist mother and a journalist father, Ustinov claimed also to have Swiss, Ethiopian, Italian and French blood – everything except English.
Ustinov was educated at the prestigious Westminster School, but hated it and left at 16. He appeared in his first revue and had his first stage play presented in London in 1940, when he was 19.
In a career lasting some 60 years, Ustinov appeared in roles ranging from Emperor Nero to Agatha Christie’s Belgian detective Hercule Poirot.
He won Academy Awards for supporting actor in the films Spartacus and Topkapi in the 1960s.
No immediate details funeral arrangements were available.
There goes one of the finest men we could hear of...farewell, Sir Peter.
LONDON, England -- UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has led tributes to veteran broadcaster Alistair Cooke who has died aged 95, less than a month after recording his last "Letter from America."
A spokesman for the BBC said on Tuesday that Cooke, who was credited with improving transatlantic understanding for more than half a century, died at his home in New York.
The broadcaster, who was born in England, retired earlier in March following advice from doctors after 58 years. He was famous throughout the world for his weekly broadcast on BBC World Service and in Britain on Radio 4.
Blair told the BBC: "I was a big fan. I thought they were extraordinary essays and they brought an enormous amount of insight and understanding to the world.
"He was really one of the greatest broadcasters of all time, and we shall feel his loss very, very keenly indeed.
"He was a remarkable man who was broadcasting the Letter from America right up to a few weeks ago. He will be deeply, deeply missed."
Cooke, who had missed only three broadcasts in about 3,000 programs over 58 years, thanked his listeners for their loyalty after announcing his retirement.
"I can no longer continue my 'Letter From America,'" Cooke said.
"Throughout 58 years I have had much enjoyment in doing these talks and hope that some of it has passed over to the listeners, to all of whom I now say thank you for your loyalty and goodbye."
Millions of listeners across the world tuned in for Cooke's weekly observations of life in America since his show began in 1946.
Cooke was perhaps best known for "Alistair Cooke's America," a BBC series aired around the world, and as host of the PBS series "Masterpiece Theatre" in the United States for 22 years.
Born Alfred Cooke in 1908 and raised in a boarding house in Blackpool, England, he changed his name to Alistair after graduating from Cambridge University with an honors degree in English and joined the BBC in 1934 as a film critic.
"Letter From America" -- said to be the world's longest-running radio speech program -- was originally intended to last only 13 weeks.
Sad that my only real memories of this man are Cookie Monster's "Alistair Cookie." If Cookie Monster can spoof him, he must have been great.
"Letter from America" really irritates me sometimes. But he did have an interesting way of telling stories.
Hubert Selby Jr., the acclaimed and anguished author of "Last Exit to Brooklyn" and "Requiem for a Dream," died Monday of a lung disease, his wife said. He was 75. Selby died of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at his home in the Highland Park section of Los Angeles, said his wife of 35 years, Suzanne Selby. Born in New York City, Selby's experience among Brooklyn's gritty longshoremen, homeless and the down-and-out formed the basis for his lauded 1964 novel "Last Exit to Brooklyn," which was made into a film in 1989. "It was a seminal piece of work. It broke so many traditions," said Jim Regan, head of the master's of professional writing program at USC, where Selby taught as an adjunct professor for the past 20 years.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Alan King, whose tirades against everyday suburban life grew into a long comedy career in nightclubs and television that he later expanded to Broadway and character roles in movies, died Sunday at the age of 76.
King, who also was host of the New York Friars Club's celebrity roasts, which had recently returned as a staple on television's Comedy Central, died at a Manhattan hospital, said a son, Robert King.
King appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show" 93 times beginning in the 1950s.
Comedian Jerry Stiller, who knew King for more than 50 years, said King was "in touch with what was happening with the world, which is what made him so funny."
"He always talked about the annoyances of life," Stiller said. "He was like a Jewish Will Rogers."
King played supporting roles in more than 20 films including "Bye Bye Braverman," "I, the Jury," "The Anderson Tapes," "Lovesick," "Bonfire of the Vanities," "Casino" and "Rush Hour 2." He also produced several films, including "Memories of Me," "Wolfen" and "Cattle Annie and Little Britches," and the 1997 television series "The College of Comedy With Alan King."
He said he was working strip joints and seedy nightclubs in the early 1950s when he had a revelation while watching a performance by another young comedian, Danny Thomas.
King, who until then had been using worn out one-liners, found his new material at home, after his wife persuaded him to forsake his native Manhattan, believing the suburban atmosphere of the Forest Hills sections of Queens would provide a better environment for their children.
Soon he was joking of seeing people moving from the city to the suburbs "in covered wagons, with mink stoles hanging out the back."
His rantings about suburbia, just as America was embracing it, struck a chord with the public and soon he was appearing regularly on the Sullivan show, Garry Moore's variety show and "The Tonight Show."
Bookings poured in, and he toured with Tommy Dorsey's orchestra, played New York's showcase Paramount theater and performed at top nightclubs around the country.
He also worked as the opening act for such music stars as Lena Horne, Billy Eckstine, Patti Page and Judy Garland, whom he joined in a command performance in London for Queen Elizabeth II.
After that show he was introduced to the queen and, when she asked, "How do you do, Mr. King?" he said he replied: "How do you do, Mrs. Queen?"
"She stared at me, and then Prince Philip laughed," he recalled. "Thank God Prince Philip laughed."
King appeared in a handful of films in the late 1950s, including "The Girl He Left Behind," "Miracle in the Rain" and "Hit the Deck," although he didn't care for his roles. "I was always the sergeant from Brooklyn named Kowalski," he once complained.
He also appeared on Broadway in "Guys and Dolls" and "The Impossible Years," and produced the Broadway plays "The Lion in Winter" and "Something Different."
He wrote the humor books "Anyone Who Owns His Own Home Deserves One" (1962) and "Help! I'm a Prisoner in a Chinese Bakery" (1964).
Born Irwin Alan Kniberg, he grew up on Manhattan's Lower East Side and in Brooklyn.
"Both of them were tough neighborhoods, but I was a pretty tough kid," he recalled in 1964. "I had an answer for everything. ... I fought back with humor."
He married Jeanette Sprung in 1947 and they had three children, Robert, Andrew and Elaine Ray. When King was at the height of his career, he faced one son's drug addiction and said he realized he had neglected his family.
"It's not easy being a father," he said, "but I've been allowed a comeback."
He spent more time at home and his son conquered his addiction.
"Now everyone kisses," he said. "We show our affections."
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Anna Lee, whose nearly 70-year acting career in movies and television spanned from her breakthrough role in "How Green Was My Valley" to an extended run on "General Hospital," died Friday of pneumonia, her son said. She was 91.
Lee had been ailing for the past several months and died at her home near Beverly Hills with son Jeffrey Byron, 48, by her side, Byron said Sunday.
Paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident just a year after she began playing Lila Quartermaine in ABC's "General Hospital," Lee acted in a wheelchair for more than two decades until she left the soap last year, Byron said.
In the early 1930s she moved to California to work in Hollywood, and appeared in more than 60 films including "The Sound of Music" (1965), "Fort Apache" (1948) and "King Solomon's Mines" (1937).
"She was beautiful," said actress Maureen O'Hara, who starred with Lee in 1941's "How Green Was My Valley." "She came to the United States and immediately everybody fell in love with her."
Nearing retirement age, Lee's stint on ABC's "General Hospital" rejuvenated her, Byron said. "That was really a great elixir for her. Without a doubt it gave her much more longevity later in life," he said.
In 1982, Lee received an MBE, or Member of the Order of the British Empire award. She is to be honored with a lifetime achievement award at Friday's Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony.
Lee was married three times, first to Robert Stevenson, the director of films including "The Love Bug" and "Mary Poppins." She was married to George Stafford for two decades and wed writer Robert Nathan in 1970. Nathan died in 1985.
Actor Tony Randall, the stage, screen and television actor best known as fussy Felix Unger on the 70s sitcom The Odd Couple, died in New York in his sleep Monday night after complications from a long illness; he was 84. An actor who specialized in playing comedic sidekicks and best friends, Randall first gained prominence onscreen by reprising his Broadway starring role in Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? in 1957. That film was followed two years later by his scene-stealing turn in Pillow Talk opposite Rock Hudson and Doris Day, the first of many supporting romantic comedy roles for which he would become best known (others included Let's Make Love, Lover Come Back and Send Me No Flowers), although he was also an effective and versatile lead in 7 Faces of Dr. Lao. Randall seamlessly transitioned to television in 1970 with The Odd Couple, based on the hit Neil Simon play, in which he was paired with Jack Klugman, who played the messy Oscar Madison; the show ran for five years and won both actors Emmy Awards for their roles. Innumerable television appearances followed, most notably The Tony Randall Show (1976-78 ) and Love, Sidney (1981-83), a pioneering sitcom in which his character's homosexuality was implied but never stated. Randall turned most of his energy to the stage in his later career, founding the non-profit National Actors Theatre in 1991, starring in and directing a number of the company's productions. The actor made a brief return to the screen last year in Down with Love, an homage to the Rock Hudson-Doris Day films in which he co-starred. Randall is survived by his wife Heather Harlan Randall – who was fifty years younger and made him a father for the first time at 77 – and their two children, a 7 year-old daughter and a 5 year-old son.
poor tony randall. he was lookin' good in Down With Love just last year.
At least two of his children and his wife, Nancy, were at his bedside, according to the former president's Los Angeles office.
Ron Reagan Jr. and Patty Davis -- children from his current marriage to Nancy Davis Reagan -- were with him, the office said.
Michael Reagan, his adopted son from his first marriage to actress Jane Wyman, might have been with his father or was still en route. Maureen Reagan, his daughter from that marriage, died in 2001.
In a statement earlier Saturday, Joanne Drake, Reagan's chief of staff in Los Angeles, said: "He is 93 years old. He has had Alzheimer's disease for 10 years. There are plenty of rumors. When there is something significant to report, I will do so."
The news came as President Bush toured Europe to honor the heroes of World War II on the weekend of the 60th anniversary of the D-Day invasion.

The Quiet Borderline is often misunderstood and does not present or come across like the classic "acting out" borderline. A look at how the quiet borderline is different from the "average" borderline.
Much is written about the more classic presentation of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). The more classic presentation more often than not involves outward raging, projections and "acting out". Acting out refers to the fact that many borderlines will act out their pain and visit it on others as opposed to allowing it to rise to a conscious level within, feeling it, and dealing with it internally.
Then, there is a presentation or variation of BPD, known as the "Quiet Borderline". A quiet borderline does not rage outwardly or act out. A quiet borderline does not differ from the more classic or acting out borderline except in the expression of the pathology of BPD. That is to say that the underlying reasons for the diagnosis of BPD in those who are quiet borderlines is essentially the same as it is for those who are acting out borderlines. The most notable and main difference between these two "sub groups" of BPD, if you will, is in the manifestation and presentation - the relational style - and not in the underlying effects of what it means to have BPD.
In the group therapy that I had that was the backbone of my recovery from BPD, I encountered many a quiet borderline. I, myself, was the more classic, "acting out" raging borderline. I remember being so frustrated trying to help those who had this opposite style of relating or not relating as it often seemed. I remember how stuck many of them were and remained as I was able to find my way out of BPD. I remember how many times therapists would say things to those who were quiet borderlines that they needed to get things out, to connect with their feelings, to express their thoughts. I remember getting so angry when therapists tried to work with a few of these quiet borderlines by attempting to provoke, mirror, and/or tease out some of their repressed rage. These quiet borderlines would just sit there seemingly unaffected by the taunts and provocation of the therapists and I would become enraged because I would feel triggered and also because I felt so frustrated that these people were not in anyway actively engaging the process of therapy in our group - they were not getting any better either.
I think that people often mistakenly think that the quiet borderline is more functional than the "acting out" borderline or that the quiet borderline is more "together" than the "acting out" borderline or not as bad off type of thing. From my therapy travels I'd have to say in my opinion that from what I witnessed in others who were quiet borderlines they were suffering even more than I was - and I was not only suffering I was sharing that suffering, inflicting that suffering on others when I was in the active throes of BPD.
"I do not rage or SI (self-injure). I have never been able to express anger -- my mother simply did not allow it and I have never found a manner to let it out. I am just too tightly wound to get angry.
For the most part, I feel utterly alone, empty and scared. I crave being alone but often end up abusing prescription meds when I am alone. However, I am terrified of people and avoid being around them. I am extremely anxious and frequently depressed.
I feel different--I feel like I am encapsulated. I am not like other people and do not know or understand how other people feel. Sometimes I feel like I am watching life go by, as an outsider. I don't have much hope of ever feeling normal--I don't know what it means."
As Anne describes many who have BPD and are quiet borderlines feel a very deep, often, desperate depression. At the root of so much of BPD, is anger and rage because it is anger and rage that are summoned up to protect against the pain. If one is not acting out that anger and rage (classic borderline presentation) then one is more likely to have an even more severe depression since, essentially, depression is anger turned inward.
When Anne speaks of feeling encapsulated and like she is watching life go by as an outsider what she is experiencing is known as depersonalization. It is dissociative in nature. The quiet borderline turns so much in on the absence of self drowning emotionally on the inside in a rather quiet and often unnoticed way outwardly.
Depersonalization is a variety of dissociation in which one suddenly feels detached from one's own body, sometimes as if they were observing events from outside themselves. It can be a frightening feeling, and it may be accompanied by a lessening of sensory input -- sounds may be muffled, things may look strange, etc... Some people react to depersonalization episodes by inflicting physical harm on themselves in an attempt to stop the unreal feelings, hoping that pain will bring them back to awareness. This is a common reason for SI in people who dissociate frequently in other ways."
"There is no question in my mind that I am a "quiet" or "acting in" borderline. I have always had hatred towards myself. I felt as though I had the overwhelming power to hurt others and felt incredibly awful if I perceived that I did hurt someone else. All I ever wanted was to be loved and taken care of. Because I couldn't get that, I didn't think I deserved it.
People with depression don't usually self-harm (which I did on a daily basis), and the self-hatred I felt wasn't like low self-esteem or even no self esteem. I actually wanted to "kill" myself - not suicidally - it was more like homicidally. I have read about many borderlines who when they get angry at someone else can become almost psychotic. The rage that is directed outward is incredibly powerful and can almost knock you down. That same rage in me is directed inwards. I wanted to do horrible things to myself - violent things. I could never do that to anyone else. It has only been very recently that I have even had thoughts like that towards other people. But I would never act on them because of my intense fear of abandonment. I don't ever want anyone to leave me.
I think that as a general rule, borderlines who act in do all the same things that "acting out" borderlines do - just to themselves instead of others. But a borderline is a borderline. We all feel things way too deeply. I read somewhere that we are like emotional haemophiliacs - that we have emotions and can't clot them. That's definitely me..."
Whether a borderline "acts in" or "acts out" his or her inner-turmoil and angst the results to the void of 'self' are the same. A pathological, rigid, and polarized cycle is adhered to by the borderline false self in a very patterned way. The more one "acts in" or "acts out" the more one's pattern of illogical thoughts or magical thinking will support the further alienation of the authentic self from the false self. The quiet borderline, however, may not have as great a chance of being understood or recognized as the average borderline does. The quiet borderline is likely more misunderstood by others (including professionals) than the classic borderline is. Whether one is high-functioning or not the quiet borderline suffers in a screamingly-silent kind of way.
The quiet borderline tends to experience an imploding self-destruction whereas the acting out borderline's experience is that of an exploding self-destruction that flings emotional shrapnel on any and all who get too close. Both are emotionally unavailable more often than not. The quiet borderline uses avoidance and silence as ways of protecting against feared intimacy and the acting out borderline uses confrontation, intimidation, and often berating criticism.
Rachel describes a more pronounced fear of abandonment and rather than act in a way that may lead others to abandon her, she continues to abandon herself (and her inner child) by repeatedly being self-abusive and by hating herself. She turns this fear of abandonment in on herself. Many borderlines, the acting out borderlines, project this inner conflict out onto others. In Anne and Rachel's case they, as "acting in" borderlines experience a much more inwardly focused expression of the borderline pathology. Rachel would rather continue to abandon herself because it is familiar to her and expected by her than to have to try to cope with others abandoning her. This leads an "acting in" borderline to quietly, yet relentlessly "emotionally" bleed inward, deeper and deeper on and into that void where one's self needs to be known. In the absence of knowing that self, the repeated abuse, abandonment and annihilation of that self, even to the "acting in" borderline are experienced as being perpetrated upon them by a foreign persona -- a false self.
The intense fear of abandonment that most borderlines have can lead them to either "act out" their fear and pain on others or to "act in" that same fear and pain against the self. One's authentic self does not have a chance to emerge, mature and be known to the borderline because the unresolved issues usurp that authentic self by feeding what is, in many borderlines, and ever-strengthening false self. The false self perpetuates the cognitive thought distortions which are fuelled largely by dissociated feelings that are often unknown to the borderline consciously.
It is all too easy to lump all borderlines together in one category marked with stereotyping and prejudice. It is important that we all take a long hard look at this. Borderline Personality Disorder does not 'play itself out' in the exact same way for all borderlines. When is the helping profession going to address this?
When are mental health systems going to address the need to recognize the different presentations of BPD? When will the stereotyped and feared borderline, "acting out" or quiet be seen for the hurting, scared, wounded soul that he or she is? Perhaps when this shift is made more will be able to truly heal?
The quiet borderline is not the 'traditional borderline'. The quiet borderline is not the most feared borderline. The quiet borderline does know the same rage as the "acting out" borderline. The rage is directed inward instead of outward. In many cases it is the quiet borderline that may well be at greater risk. These "acting in" borderlines, however, are hurting themselves at alarming rates and evening killing themselves. The failures of mental health systems to adequately address this is yet but one more abandonment imposed upon the quiet borderline. The quiet borderline is often not taken seriously enough or heard in time to make a difference.
The word quiet is rather a misnomer in a sense in that the quiet borderline, the "acting-in" borderline is just as borderline as the more classic borderline. It is time to recognize this presentation of BPD for what it is and to take it as seriously as the classic outward display of BPD. The quiet borderline's suffering must be given expression in order that lives may be saved and that the quality of those lives may be drastically improved.

That's my father in law would like to express my feelings. My husband and father in law thinks I am acting out. to me it is hurtful. People don't like me to show my feelings because it is my way of not being myself and honoring their feelings. Sister in laws told me,"I should show my feelings even if the men in my life don't like it."
I'm so grateful to read your post -- one of only two postings referencing this term that I have been able to find (the other one is an organization called AAPEL in France at http://www.aapel.org/bdp/BLsyntheseUS.html).
I am also in Canada, on the West Coast, and have posted links to AAPEL and this page on my blog. I am newly diagnosed with bdp, and definitely a quiet one, though I am quite expressive and emotive, just not anger or aggression.
Do you know of other resources for Quiet Borderlines? Do you know who coined the term?

South African Airways has had its international reputation dented after it slipped several spots in the rankings of international airlines.
Middle East airlines dominated the top spots as Skytrax announced the world’s Top 100 Airlines in 2016 at the World Airline Awards held at Farnborough Airshow in England on Tuesday.

Travellers from across the globe take part each year in the world’s largest airline passenger satisfaction survey to decide the award winners.
Emirates‚ based in Dubai‚ moved up from fifth position in 2015 to unseat Qatar Airways for the number one spot.
SAA was ranked 41‚ dropping seven places from 34th in 2015.

I was silently cursing myself as soon as I woke up and looked at my alarm clock: 8:33am. I was going to get up and have a couple hour ride before I headed out to Kelowna for the weekend, but alas, my energy levels dictated laying back down. Then bursting into tears shortly thereafter. Laying around for a few more hours. Watching a movie (that just made me miss my family) thinking about what I was doing one year ago today. Feeling sorry for myself that again, yet again, I am sick. This time with a cold. I took this sickness with a few grains of salt starting last weekend, scoffing at it. Sore throat? Whatever. Headache? Pshwt. Runny nose? Meh. I pushed through the last six days fully training, fully working, trying to keep fully committed to my life until I arrived here, back at full boar sickness. Frustrated, furious and unable to relax I mixed up the mornings activities between half heartedly packing, small bursts of crying and blowing my nose.
When I started digging around my head for what was causing the extra heartache, I rewound back into time for just a bit and then I remembered. Today is four years.
Four years ago today I got an email from a friend informing me that Emma had died in a car accident in London. I remember flying downstairs, old laptop in hand, telling my Mum. I remember sitting on the phone, the computer, the rest of the day trying to find out details. Emma, Emma, could it really be true? Could you really be gone?
Emma and I spent our most quality years together at St. Albert Children's Theatre. In fact, quite frankly, most of my best memories of SACT somehow include Emma. My high school experience, and indeed a large part of my teens, is filled with Emma's smiling face.
Emma, driving around her Mum's huge blue SUV with rap music playing loud. Emma, with her loud, mouth gaping open laugh that came in airless spurts. Emma, wearing her Oilers jersey at every game day. Emma the dancer, Emma the athlete, Emma the actress. Sleep overs with Emma, Katie, Jenna and Allison. Pre show, post show, endless rehearsals. I remember one time driving to The Mall in Edmonton between shows in Emma's car. Her and I talked the whole way to the mall, and only when we arrived did Katie come out of the back of the SUV, freezing (it was an abnormally hot day in Edmonton). She had iced out Katie with the A/C in the back, and when she found out she laughed until she cried. She was the funniest person I ever knew.
Each year since Emma's passing I have tried to do something small to honour her and the beautiful impact she had on my life. I've had grand and not-as-grand gestures. For this year, this is it. Emma, girl, who knows if you were here what you'd be up to. I hope we'd still be in touch. You were a positive, beautiful, bold ray of light in my life. Thank you for being part of my memories.

A very touching and thoughtful post.
I believe she is still smiling.
Everyday we have to be so thankful for what have.
