text: Some celebrity looks of the week make us wonder if they should hire or fire their stylist. Naya Rivera showed up to the Much Music Video Awards in a black jump suit with lace detailing and sheer panels. Simple hair and a smoky eye topped off the look. Her stylist gets a HIRE. Roselyn Sanchez stars in the Lifetime series Devious Maids, but we think she's got a Devious Stylist! The light pink maxi skirt, midriff baring sequin top, and headband are cute as individual pieces, but not together. Her stylist gets a FIRE. Demi Lovato looked rockstar chic in a black long sleeved Saint Laurent mini. Her stylist hets a HIRE. Eva Longoria hit the carpet in a blush white Pamela Roland Jumpsuit. The jumpsuit had a peplum waist and sheer back, but we're not so sure it works on Eva's petite frame. We'll give Eva's stylist one more try.

We are in our new home.
Ideas for decorating?
I was furious. I had to stop talking to him at that point
I would have been too!
And I am sure I would have been confused and anxious as well...and have me questioning, "Who is this man??"
No wonder you are in such a funk, FNF.
And how embarassing for your DD.
Yes, LostH, we had a lovely time in London
I need to continue to consider this self-respect issue because it is definitely not something I can sweep under the rug. It will eat at me if I don't address it properly
Shirley, I am also addressing this in IC. My IC told me last week that my biggest battle is within myself, as I struggle to align my deeply held beliefs with staying with someone who I now know is everything that I hated.
And I mean hated...not frowned upon.
This will take some time, I am told. And the fact that your H has not wavered on his path will be of some help to you, Shirley.
I think the spouses who waver, who revert to old behaviours and traits,and then back again, are the ones that make it much much harder. At least with a consistent spouse, you can see tangible reasons for staying and moving forward,KWIM?
But its a hard road for us all.
I have thought about going back, especially when I'm in a down period, but since most of my recent dark periods are because of his reverting back to old behaviors, I feel I'm not going to get anywhere until he does something to address this. Does this sound like a copout?
I can understand your reasoning, Fnf. However, what you are saying is that you do not want help, unless he gets help, right?
Let me tell you what my IC said when I was so upset about H stalling on his IC.
She said that her job was not to heal my M or my H; it was to help me heal, help me grow to become a strong, independent, emotionally healthy woman, who will no longer accepts a H who treats her poorly. My H would either have to join me in becoming healthy himself, or he would be left alone one day. And she also said that there were no guarantees about that either. We could both end up healthy, and still split up.
However, what helped me too, was when she said that as I became stronger, it would spur my H to become healthy as well. I think BT told me that as well. BT said that when H saw the positive changes in me (as I took the spotlight off "fixing" him and focused on me), he would do the same.
And he does.
Do you know 2 weeks ago, he asked his IC about hypnosis? He wants to remember his childhood and try to figure out where he went off track. I was just dumbstruck.
My H can remember very scant details about his past, and has always been very reluctant to talk about that. I couldnt believe that he wants to do this for himself (and without me even asking)...and I felt really proud of him.
I don't know if that makes any sense at all
[This message edited by Lost Heart at 3:08 PM, June 17th (Tuesday)]
I hope you and H managed to have the talk, and so "free" the day for you both to enjoy.
He is going to HAVE to accept that there can be NO MORE SECRETS...even good ones.
Hopefully, he will understand why, and that will help him stay on track too.
So what else did he get you?
..anybody thought about where we might be when the cruise ship docks???
How about an ornamental garden? Its a lovely time of year to be outside. I bet the restaurant serves cocktails
and smoothies.
Maybe there's a barbie in one section ....
And we can all help with the planting and pruning.
ETA. Deleted my long post . I'll see y'all tomorrow, a glass of vino is calling.

Nope, we stay and do exactly what we swore we would never do. Is it any wonder we are filled with self-doubt and confusion. If we didn't respect others decision to stay, doesn't it seem only natural that we are having trouble respecting our own decision to stay and struggling every day to answer that for ourselves.
amen, sister.
Today is my 13th anniversary. Its 21:20, and H hasnt said a word about it. I know he knows because my sister sms'd us good wishes.
We have both been in a low funk since yesterday. And we havent spoken about it. To his credit, he did ask me last night what was wrong, and I didnt want to talk about it. I am really so tired of this whole topic, I would probably bore myself taking about it.
13 years ago today I married him, after a tumultuous courtship. I was 23, filled with love and hope and most of all, wonder, that I was actually marrying someone like H. I just couldnt wait to prove to him how good a deal I was; that he wasnt going to be shortchanged.
Meanwhile, he had a MOW waiting for him at his house, where we were going to start our future. Although he had invited her and her H to the wedding, they didnt come. HE said she had been furious at him for actually going through with this. And of course she was pg with her 2nd child, a pregnancy she blamed him for!
If only I knew what a snake pit I was walking into. If only I had known that I would have spent the next 13 years in futility trying to love him, when he had never ever been open to fully accepting that love. If only I knew then what I know now.
I know its pointless looking back with "What ifs", but damn, it stings. I have asked him often the same question, to which there is really no answer, "Why did you marry me when you knew you lusted after another man's wife?Why would you do such a cruel thing to me, when I have never hurt you in any way?"
I guess his most honest answer was that he never loved her; that he doesnt know why he had to have her; that he loved the way I loved him, and yes, that in some way, he did love me too. In some way.
He has also said that in hindsight, that he should have never married me, or anyone else.
I am trying hard not to crash, to see what I have today against what I had before. Just sometimes, I just feel so sad knowing that I was never loved enough, cherished or respected by this man. That we should really, have never married.
Oh honey, I know how you feel. I was just there last month. I asked the same questions...Why? Why would you have married me when you were already fucking around? I got similar answers...I loved you in a different way, I needed you, etc.
The real answer is they saw good people in us and they were (and, to some extent, still are) very broken people.
I am going to bed now. We still havent spoken. I just wish he would acknowledge today in some way, to show me that he does get how painful it is for me.Ah well.
And crap! No sleeping pills.
SoLost, please let us know how you are getting on. I will be back tomorrow.
fnf. I resonated with your post about H's getting irritated or feeling the victim when you show signs of mistrust--I'm just 5 months ahead of you from d-day--I think my H feels he's been doing "all the right things" for nearly 3 years, why do I still have suspicious questions occasionally?
Good advice to not allow them to play the victim--next time something like that happens here, I will borrow your phrasing--considering the LTA, it will be a very long time til I trust everything again--and I say to myself, it will probably be never since we have sporadic contact cuz of OC. Don;t know why he can't just accept that, it's part of the fallout from cheating, in my opinion.
I'm so tired of having every interaction which I can interpret as negative (and it might not really be negative, but just ordinary life or work or whatever making H irritable or less attentive) putting me back into a dark place. I'm trying to stop and evaluate things, and only discussing it with H if I feel it's real backsliding on his part. But it's such a chore.
I know I'm not perfectly attentive or whatever all the time, and it's not always cuz of the infidelity--just me or something at work or whatever. But I have a really hard time giving him the benefit of the doubt--memories of the betrayal are always there underneath, like a subterranean monster, to make me feel less loved or something--
I too mourn the impossibility of looking back at my marriage and knowing I had a H of integrity and faithfulness--and if I dwell on it, I get pissed off and snarky--I think it's one of the feelings that I have to chalk up to reality of my life--but it will always hurt.
I am on a carousel
Not a carousel but one of those ridiculous roller coasters with all the loop-da-loops and upside down stomach turning flips except this one isn't any fun.
Maybe he just didn't want to upset you by "remembering" the day. I made it clear to my H that it had no meaning so please do not bring it up. Maybe he just surmised that was the best course?
Sleep well.
So Lost - thinking of you and hoping you are having a wonderful birthday.
it was all his mother's fault
In multiple or LTAs, do they feel they have reached a point that they do not want to venture beyond when looking into themselves? Is it a shut down thing going on here? So that your H, fnf, feels he has to put women/females down to not feel threatened?
Personally, this business of other peoples affairs just makes me angry and sick. And thats those I have witnessed, those in the news and the thought of those yet to come. I dont know at what point I would have told my H to fuck off out of my life. I would never have thought myself being here now, trying to fix my m after a LTA. Fucking someone else for five years was just unimaginable. And its all part of the thought process of somehow wishing Id done it first. I said to a male friend of mine that I felt like saying to H about DS4 hey, ever thought where he gets his real talent from
..? But that wouldnt work too much of my Hs dark looks. But, I want to put that doubt in his mind, stupid, eh?
But judgement on other marriages? No. Oh, no. Behind closed doors and all of that. Too many of us have too much sadness in our lives through the actions of others. For us it was their lack of self esteem, judgement and respect has made us question our beliefs. Our WSs are a reflection on and of us. That is why both parties have to be fixed in some way that allows us to move on in a united rather than divided way.
"Why did you marry me when you knew you lusted after another man's wife?Why would you do such a cruel thing to me, when I have never hurt you in any way?"
He has also said that in hindsight, that he should have never married me, or anyone else.
SoL. Hope today was fine. Check in soon.
Sorry. This could be the wine talking. Or maybe Im just whining. Night all.
Try not. Do or do not, there is no try. -- Yoda
Do you know 2 weeks ago, he asked his IC about hypnosis? He wants to remember his childhood and try to figure out where he went off track. I was just dumbstruck.
I think it's one of the feelings that I have to chalk up to reality of my life--but it will always hurt.
It must be very distressing to you and your SIL and DIL to have your husband acting like that. I wonder why he is doing it. Do you think it portrays his true feelings about women, or is it a sign of insecurity on his part? Or did he think this was a way to bond with SIL?
Unfortunately, I think most of us here trained our husband's to rely on us to do most or all of the heavy lifting emotionally, and what we didn't do society did for us. If your husband is at least open to change, maybe that's not such a bad thing, even if he is putting the onus on you to guide him.
One of my favorite posts on the Marriage Builders website is the one about being a lighthouse for our WSes. I know it is a metaphor that comes from Christian scripture, but I think it is one that is pretty universally relevant. It talks about how we have not just the possibility, but the responsibility to share what we know and have learned with others -- especially with our family and especially our spouses when they are wayward in some way.
Maybe heading back to IC for yourself is one way to be a lighthouse for your WS.
That is a really hopeful step for your H regarding the hyponosis. I am glad that your faith in him is being justified.
I'm sorry about the anniversary. I image it's hard for our H's to know what the right thing is to do, but not saying anything at all would be my very last choice. But perhaps it is what he would want if he were in our place.
In any event, it's your anniversary, too. Did you have something you wanted to say to him?
I can honestly say, I would rather be in my shoes than his tonight. Please everyone here, give yourself a pat on the back for all you have done for your family and your children. You have given them so much.

Sorry if I cut this short. H will be home in a few minutes but I wanted to get my foot in the door (mostly to motivate myself) while this thread is still young!
I have just been so angry lately and I spend so much time wondering what decisions to make.
A little history so you can all get to know me better ... H's affair was 6 years. We've been together for 12. I was pregnant with our 3rd on DDay #1. I honestly believed that our life had changed and we were R'ed until 3 months ago. He was apparently "breaking things off for good" and because she is a psycho (like many OW) he enlisted the help of a few friends to convince her that it was really over this time. I just happen to stumble into the middle of that and there was DDay #2. Obviously there's plenty more , it was 6 years, but that's the shortened condensed version. The first month after DDay #2 we were "seperated", then he decided to unfog and for the most part he has been doing everything "right". The second month I was all about R and saving my family. But the past few weeks, I've been in my own personal hell trying to figure out what i really want. He hasn't done anything in particular. I think that its all just hitting me now harder than ever before.
I guess part of what I'm really struggling with right now is this:
The third dimension, and the one that is most meaningful, is behaving in a way that demonstrates your love. It means protecting the ones you love, treating them with respect and care. Giving of oneself, making sacrifices and literally treasuring the person and doing everything within reason to make sure that person has no doubt as to the extent of love and devotion you feel. In sociological terms it is referred to as mature love. Loving even through the difficult times. Having a depth of feeling and concern for another person that hurting them or ignoring their needs for your own selfish ones would not be possible.
I can't do that right now. I just can't. It hurt his feelings and i don't care. I can't love him right now, and i don't know if I really want to try.
DDAY#1 9/30/05 False R
DDAY#2 3/13/08 blindsided
I am all for cool and airy by the sea.
H said he did remember the anniversary, but as I seemed to be "in a mood", he thought he would just leave me alone...because he didnt know what else to do.
In any event, it's your anniversary, too. Did you have something you wanted to say to him?
Shirley, well done to you and DD!!!
Its moments like that when we can see that even though we didnt have a true H or M, our lives throughout were true and valid and real. Yay Shirley's DD!!!!
I can't do that right now. I just can't. It hurt his feelings and i don't care. I can't love him right now, and i don't know if I really want to try
Dont be anything that you dont feel. Your dday was so recent, and you must be feeling absolutely traumatised.
Be kind to yourself, Still.You have had the rug pulled out from under you...again. Its, IMHO, even worst than dday~1.

A reinterpretation of a traditional chandelier in which the crystals and lights form the underlying rigid structure for transient, flowing arms. The disappearing and reappearing body of the chandelier is defined by a fabric contour which weaves through a channel of suspended hoops. The system is actuated by a single driving motor unwinding a spool of custom ribbon. The speed of the motor is calibrated to match the prescribed pattern of the ribbon and define the timing of the piece. The effect is an ethereal lighting fixture which continuously draws and erases itself, in essence, a 4D chandelier.

Its been a week since Biscotti arrived in his new foster-to-adopt home. There were plenty of bumps in the road between his foster mom, Mary Lou, fretting she had cat allergies and her not being sure he would come out of his shell and have a happy life.
As the days passed I got updates that Biscotti truly was a brave little lion. He was hiding less, and snuggling more. He loved his new dad, Greg and Graham the 17 yr old high school student with movie star looks. I got a few photos of Biscotti...

Some cats are born with a special sweetness about them. They dont hiss, fight or bite. They dont spitefully urinate on the wall. They're often overlooked because they might be shy or reserved, but it doesnt mean there doesnt beat the heart of a lion within their chest.
Biscotti, who was literally thrown into a hot metal dumpster, burned and left to die when he was barely 3 weeks old, is one of those specially sweet creatures. Though painfully shy, since Biscotti arrived with his surrogate...

Of the six Clementine-kittens only one has been adopted. Marigold found her forever family while her brothers and sisters continued to wait. The Clems had been with me for over SIX MONTHS when Mari left us. The delay was mostly due to a reoccurring eye infection/upper respiratory tract infection. Though not seriously ill, I couldnt let them be adopted until I had a better understanding on whether or not this was going to be a chronic condition. It wasnt fair to adopters.

Life is precious and should be revered in all its forms, whether it be a plant, or bug, a whale or amoeba. Its also natural and expected that all forms of life draw to an end at some point, whether it be after only a few moments or many years. Death must occur to make way for new life to emerge in an endless cycle.
When a life comes to an end we may not even notice. We might step on a bug on a walk to the bus, while the end of another life form might break our hearts, making living our own...

MONTROSE – The Montrose Downtown Development Authority has begun work on a market analysis of the current condition of downtown.
The analysis will explore changes in the marketplace, by ascertaining what consumers want from downtown, discovering what businesses the downtown market will support and creating a downtown business development strategy.
"Many communities hire professional consultants for a substantial fee in order to have access to this important tool used by businesses, property owners, developers, bankers and investors for making better-informed decisions," according to a DDA news release. "The Montrose DDA will start completing the downtown market analysis by assembling a team of volunteers who have an interest in the success of downtown and some level of business experience."
In the coming months the Montrose community will see downtown business development volunteers inventorying downtown businesses and buildings, surveying business owners, and weighing the supply of various business categories against the demand for those business categories to create a downtown market profile.
"Once they have a detailed picture of the downtown's economy, the Montrose DDA, along with other community partners such as the City of Montrose, Region 10, and the Montrose Chamber of Commerce, will shape a business retention campaign that includes providing assistance, training, and expansion resources to existing businesses. Building on this retention strategy, they will shape a recruitment campaign to complement existing businesses and properties downtown. With a market analysis in hand, the Montrose DDA will have a better chance of attracting business prospects to the downtown district," the release said.
To volunteer, contact DDA Executive Director Scott Shine at 970/901-9667 or email@example.com. A volunteer training takes place at The Coffee Trader, at 845 E. Main Street, Thursday, May 30, at 5:30 p.m.

LAWRENCEVILLE -- Registration has begun for Gwinnett's Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis.
The event, to benefit the Arthritis Foundation, will be held Dec. 1 at Lawrenceville's Tribble Mill Park. Volunteer organizers expect more than 500 participants and aim to raise $55,000.
The 2012 Gwinnett junior honoree for the event is 3-year-old Katherine, who was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis just after she turned two.
Festivities will include a five-kilometer timed run, a one-mile fun walk and a "Santa chase" for kids 8 and under. For more information or to register, visit jbrgwinnett.org or call 678-237-4458.
According to the Arthritis Foundation, 50 million adults and 300,000 children are affected by arthritis. An estimated 1.6 million adults and 9,200 children in Georgia have a doctor-diagnosed form of arthritis.
The Arthritis Foundation "is committed to raising awareness and reducing the impact of this serious, painful and unacceptable disease."

Driveway Patrol Alarm- Model #: TV3731
Is someone entering your driveway? Know in an instant with this driveway alarm! Waiting for a delivery? Your daughter to get home from a date? Want to extend your home security system? Here's your answer! This wireless system employs advanced motion detection technology to instantly alert you when someone comes up your driveway or walk. No startling knocks at the door, no unexpected horn beeps. Just mount the waterproof infrared transmitter outside and put the receiver inside. When someone approaches, it sends an audible signal to alert you. Up to 400' range between the transmitter and receiver. One 9V & three ''C'' batteries not included.

When I read the reviews I was worried about the sensitivity of the product. When I set it up, sure enough, it went off at every breeze. To help solve that I bought a clear plastic container at Walmart ($1.98) and put the Driveway Patrol sensor in that. We get the occasional alarm, but it's nothing like it used to be. (One of the reviews stated that rain set the alarm off and the plastic container stopped that too!)

We also moved out to the woods and you can't see when someone comes down our drive way. Great soulution!
1/16/2012 - JIM - Pasadena, MD
I use mine inside the mail box. When the door is opened, the alarm signals that the mailman has been there, My wife loves it...
12/11/2011 - JC - Woodland, WA
We moved out to the woods! and you cant see when someone comes up our drive way.This works great!! I know they are here before,I can see them!!
11/29/2011 - WD - Las Vegas, NV
I will tell everyone I know that this works. I have own the same one for over 5 years and it still works. Naturally you have to change the batteries or use the adapter for the inside unit and a 9 volt battery for the outside unit. Its been great for my repair business and the doorway to my house.
11/11/2011 - BAS - hot springs, AR
We find this alarm very sensative and doing the job it was purchased for. It took us a while to position it to avoid alarm signal incorrectly on cloudy or windy days. Our neighbor has ordered one also.
4/2/2011 - HS - kinsley, KS
great for the price even works better then i thought
5/12/2010 - TJT - Denham Springs, LA
This Driveway Patrol Alarm is being used as a patio alarm and works even better than I could have ever imagined. I love it and have it positioned to even tell me when someone is at my side door. The price for such a great security alarm is unreal. I plan on getting two more for myself and a couple for gifts at Christmas. Thanks, TJT
3/19/2010 - DA - Ashland, MT
This is a great little product! Works like a charm. It has excellent range. Works so good, I am ordering 2 more.
12/1/2009 - CLW - mabank, TX
it is very good i love it i made a birdhouse for mine so everyone thinks it is a birdhouse and not a alarm

Around this time of year, clients want to know about registering their business. There is confusion about the timing or if there's a deadline.
I thought I would help clarify this question for anyone starting a business by Dec. 3.
To begin with, the biggest misconception is the idea that registering your sole proprietorship in required. A sole proprietorship means you own the business, and income from the business is reported on your personal tax return.
I had a client wanting to register her business with the province. She was setting up a home-based bookkeeping business. When I asked her if she had any clients, she explained that she had three business clients, and didn't plan on getting any more since these three would keep her quite busy.
I then asked her if a trade name was important to her. Since she didn't plan on advertising her service to the general public, she figured that it wasn't important. I suggested she simply operate her business in her legal name. She was pleasantly surprised when I told her she didn't have to register her name as a business and pay the $60 licence, or set up a business bank account. As long as she reports the income from her bookkeeping business as self-employment income on her personal tax return, she would be 100 per cent compliant with government regulations.
So, whether you are operating your business in your own name, or a trade name, the income from your business is always reported on your personal tax return. To qualify for any business expense deductions to reduce your taxable business income, you do not have to register the business with the province.
In the case of my bookkeeping client, she will simply total her business income and deduct any business expenses from that income, up to Dec. 31 of each calendar year, and report this as self-employment income on her annual income tax return.
So, don't worry about having to register your business by Dec. 31 this year. Just remember to keep all expense receipts related to your business, and invoices issued to your customers up to the end of each calendar year.

Things I liked:The price was what first attracted me.
Things I would have changed:Overall design, this is a one piece. The sites are fixed and not adjustable or very accurate, I was getting low left groups. Also I too got through about 6 tubes before I was hearing leaks and then the tab broke.
What others should know:This is a entry level very basic model that had I seen in the store I would not have purchased. Since Pyramid Air offers a 30day guarantee I am going to look into sending it back if I can.
Things I liked:Bargain price.
Things I would have changed:Sites not lined up properly and not adjustable. Shot low and to the left consistently. Same thing with a friend who bought it and he is a championship marksman. Get the metal.
Things I liked:I love the look and feel of the gun!
Things I would have changed:Make it blowback, I realize there is a full metal version it's just 3x the price! Also change the co2 mechanism, mine broke after the 3rd co2 cartridge and had to use a nail to tighten the seal!
What others should know:My gun broke after about a month, this gun was fun while it lasted but now the CO2 leaks and won't shoot! This gun isn't high quality but fairly cheap anyways! I do like the look and feel and will be buying the full metal version!

"The main character of this play is a little bit of myself," Bradford said. "He [Nathan] is struggling with the memory of his father and trying to sort out who he is and answer questions about his own life."
Eric Traynor, director of "Dead Towns of Alabama" and assistant professor of drama at JSU, said he was anxious to bring this story to the stage.
"In some aspects, we can all relate to trying to get in touch with our past and the people that raised us," Traynor said. "Audiences can relate to the need for that connection to the past so we can understand our present."
Bradford, a University of Alabama graduate who has written four plays, considers himself an Alabama playwright. While he now resides in Louisiana, most of his plays have been written about situations in Alabama and people who live there.
"The South has a great deal of rich culture and, along with a rich culture, there's a whole lot of pain in Southern history from all sides," he said. "My plays deal with religion, alcohol, firearms and racism because those are the things that tend to run through our history. It makes life down here colorful and strange sometimes, but very interesting to write about."
JSU has performed several of Bradford's plays already and to perform "Dead Towns of Alabama," which won the 2011 Southern Playwrights Competition, is an honor for both Traynor and the cast. Bradford expressed his excitement in seeing JSU take on one of his productions for the third time.
"Barry's had several productions on our stage before and one of the things I like about him is that he addresses some important issues without beating you over the head with them," Traynor said.
"The first time I had the opportunity to see one of my plays done was just so much fun, and it was interesting to see what they [JSU] did with it," Bradford said. "The way the students throw themselves into these projects is such a joy to watch."
The cast of "Dead Towns of Alabama" has been met with a few challenges that even Bradford acknowledges.
"I've thrown them some curves because the characters in some of my plays are old and students pulling that off is not so easy, but they did it," he said. "I've come away from it learning something about myself and my own plays. The only way a playwright can learn if something works or doesn't work is to see it on stage."
Traynor insists the cast has been working hard to bring Bradford's script and characterization to life for audiences.
"I've got a wonderful cast that I think are very well-suited for the parts they're playing, even though some of the characters are older," he said. "I think they've all done really well because they have a respect for the playwright and the kind of emotional and psychological challenges these characters bring."
Traynor said the set designer, Carlton Ward, also did a good job with setting the scene in a "very realistic and rustic design approach." While Bradford hopes his plays get picked up by other theaters across the state, the main thing he wants audiences to do after watching JSU's production of "Dead Towns of Alabama" is to think.
"We tend to look back on the past with rose-colored glasses, but there are good and bad things about the old and new South," he said. "I want people to figure out those issues of where we've been and where we're going, and hopefully, the change and progress is in the right direction."
Traynor echoed that sentiment stating, "There are some really important racial issues in this play that get addressed throughout it but not in an overwhelming way." he said. "I like that Barry writes about these flawed characters that help us to see our own flaws and strengths, too."

Great steaks – I have never had a bad steak at this location. No matter what cut of meat I order, it always comes out with great flavor.
Best Steakhouse In Fresno – Our family enjoys Tahoe Joes. This is our favorite restaurant in Fresno. We prefer the Herndon/Cedar location.
The kids love the grilled hamburger and we share a steak. The ambiance is not too noisy but comfortable enough that we we don't have to worry if we laugh a little too loud.
A+ dinner place!
Best bang for your buck! – This is serious food. The amount of food you get is just phenomenal, and the quality is top notch. The only negative about the restaurant...the reservation system!! They won't seat you until your entire party is there. In fact, they won't even take your name for a reservation until everyone is there. Also, the place is very loud and noisy. Overall, it's great food, and a good place to take kids...no one cares if they are noisy. Recommended!

Rated 3 out of 5 by chic50s too bad new nova pant has "hip hugger" rise i have a pair of navy nova pants from last year that are among the best pants in my closet. now so disappointed that this year's version is much lower in rise and built on silky waist band that doesn't hold them up. returning them now as i purchased on line. should probably have looked more closely at the model's photo as i would have realized that the cut was more "hip hugging teen jeans" rather than the more sophisticated smooth line of the previous version. on the good side: lovely smooth fabric, well sewn and great that there's no bulky zipper. maybe okay for classic young professional but not for over fifty, slim and chic me. still love tahari brand.

How is Liddle syndrome diagnosed?
A diagnosis of Liddle syndrome may first be suspected by the detection of early-onset hypertension (high blood pressure), especially in the presence of family history. The diagnosis may then be confirmed by special blood and urine tests which show hypokalemia (low blood potassium levels), decreased or normal plasma levels of renin and aldosterone, metabolic alkalosis with high sodium plasma levels, and low rates of urinary excretion of sodium and aldosterone with high rates of urinary potassium excretion. The diagnosis can be further confirmed by genetic testing.[1]

How to Get Rid of Man Boobs: Important Facts You Need to Know
How to get rid of man boobs? This is probably one of the most awkward questions any man can ask. Gynecomastia or more commonly known as man boobs is a medical condition that affects about 32% of the male population around the world. Considering the large number of affected males, many people still find this condition a bit unusual and often times, a subject of ridicule. How to get rid of man boobs? This is not a question that an affected male would ask openly. In fact, 7 of 10 men affected with gynecomastia admitted to secretly searching the internet how to get rid of man boobs than asking their family or friends to find a solution to this dilemma.
Truly, the shallow understanding of most people is the root cause why males affected with gynecomastia suffer from low self-esteem. This perception arises from false belief that only fat people develop man boobs. While obesity is one factor, it cannot be pointed as the sole reason why this medical condition happens. It is proven that even skinny males develop man boobs. So what are the causes of this medical condition? And how to get rid of man boobs?
- One of the causes of Gynecomastia is genetically linked. Studies proved that testosterone deficiency that arises during the developmental years of a male child has a huge factor why man boobs develops. Hormonal imbalance during puberty can also cause the development of man boobs.
- Health Related Reasons. Poor men's health can also cause chest fat or man boobs. Often times, unhealthy and imbalanced lifestyle are what causes this condition among sick men.
- Drug Related Reasons. Gynecomastia has proven to be a side effect of over consuming both prescription and non-prescription drugs. Drugs that contain elements such as estrogen, androgen and steroids are some of the culprit of man boobs development.
Gynecomastia among children can be outgrown as they become adult. Puberty age is an erratic hormonal stage that everyone goes through. Adolescent males can also develop man boobs and as they enter adulthood, they become more critical to their looks that they will ultimately find way how to get rid of man boobs.
There are different ways how to get rid of man boobs, it basically depends on the reasons why man boobs developed. For obese males suffering from this condition, the best way to get rid of man boobs is to lose some weight. For males who developed man boobs due to drug related reasons, immediately discontinue taking those drugs. Consult your doctor on the best alternative prescription to take. For people affected by health related reasons, recovery is the key. Once you have recovered from your disease, there is a big chance that the man boobs size will be significantly reduced.
While those simple solutions can be effective to some, it does not necessarily mean that it will all be effective to everyone affected with gynecomastia. If you have tried doing all the mentioned things but the size of gynecomastia remains the same, there are 2 other alternative solutions on how to get rid of man boobs.
- Going for an all-natural way to get rid of man boobs. This includes changing your eating habits, exercising regularly and as much as possible, getting a fitness instructor that will assist you with more effective routines. You can also follow several diet programs for faster results.
- Undergoing surgery. Probably the most extreme solution on how to get rid of man boobs. Usually, doctors only recommend surgical procedure in cases where oral medications are not effective. While it is a very expensive option, this is by far the quickest and most effective way on how to get rid of man boobs.

Yeah, that's going to haunt them the rest of the season. To be honest though, I wasn't overly impressed with the way Georgia played in their opener either. I hope they play as fired up as Mizzou will likely be on Saturday. It's going to be a dangerous atmosphere.
A player comment is going to haunt Mizzou all season? What the hell are you smoking?
@mizzoujack1 Yes, it's called bulletin board material and he stated that no one in the SEC can touch them. If you don't think coaches will use that as motivation, you're unfortunately either delusional or new to football. To your other question, I smoke a Cohiba once in a while, how 'bout you?

Prepaid Cards: Another Way to Pay, But Understand the Downsides
It's hard to visit a retail store today without finding a sales display for products broadly known as stored value cards or, more commonly, prepaid cards. These cards, which generally allow consumers to spend only the money deposited onto them, have evolved in recent years from gift cards sold by individual retailers to multi-purpose, "reloadable" cards (money can be added, sometimes through direct deposit) that can be used to pay for purchases and access cash at ATMs around the world.
Most prepaid cards are branded with the logo of one of the major card companies (such as American Express, Discover, MasterCard or Visa) and can generally be used at any merchant or ATM that accepts those cards. But unlike a credit card, a prepaid card generally will not allow you to build a credit history because no money is being borrowed. Also, some prepaid cards can only be used at one store or service provider.
Some prepaid cards come with a set value, while others require you to load money after obtaining the card. Other cards are used only to receive government benefits (such as the Direct Express® debit card for Social Security payments) or wages deposited by employers (payroll cards).
Prepaid cards are also marketed as alternatives to traveler's checks, especially for international travel, and as a way for parents to give an allowance to their children. They also are being promoted to consumers who are unwilling or unable to open a bank account.
While prepaid cards have potential benefits, they also come with potential costs and limitations. "Consumers should not look at prepaid cards as permanent substitutes for bank accounts," said Luke W. Reynolds, Chief of the FDIC's Community Outreach Section. "People who are able to open a traditional bank account and manage it properly can pay less in fees, earn interest, write checks to merchants who don't accept plastic, more easily save for future expenses, and perhaps benefit from more federal protections than with certain pre-paid cards. Ultimately, you need to be fully informed and shop around to get the best deal."
How can a consumer wisely choose or use a prepaid card?
Look into the fees, which can add up if you're not careful. Read all the information that comes with the card so that you understand which fees are mandatory and which ones you can avoid. Possible fees include those to activate (start using) the card, add money onto the card, make purchases, withdraw cash, inquire about your balance at an ATM (that's in addition to any fee charged by the company that operates the ATM you use), receive a statement in the mail or speak with a customer service representative. But some card issuers also will waive certain fees – for example, if you regularly receive funds by direct deposit onto the card.
Also look carefully for any differences in transaction fees if you choose to sign for a purchase (by pushing "credit" at the card reader) instead of entering your personal identification number or PIN (as a "debit" transaction).
Some cards may also assess a fee if you try to spend more money than is on the card. "Don't assume there can't be overdraft fees with a prepaid card," said Reynolds. "Just as you would with a checking account, track your balance, perhaps with a check register, to avoid the risk of overdraft fees."
Under a new federal law, effective August 22, 2010, inactivity fees on prepaid cards can be imposed only when a transaction has not occurred for at least 12 months. Also, prepaid cards cannot expire for at least five years after the card was issued or money was last loaded onto the card.
Understand your consumer protections, which may vary depending on the card you use. For example, payroll cards are subject to federal disclosure requirements and a limitation on your liability for errors or unauthorized transactions. But some prepaid cards may not provide the full range of federal protections afforded to other cards, including debit cards associated with your bank account (see Debit vs. Credit Cards: How They Stack Up). Be aware, though, that Congress has directed the Federal Reserve Board to consider new rules clarifying the consumer protections for the different types of prepaid cards. In addition, cards branded as part of a network may come with their own protections against errors or fraud. For details, review the materials you receive with the card to understand any steps you must take to receive the card issuer's protections.
The FDIC also has announced that if an employer, government agency or other organization places money with an insured institution to hold for peoples' use with prepaid cards, and the bank holding the money fails, the funds will be considered deposits of the cardholders (as opposed to deposits of the organization) if the cardholder is named in the bank's records or certain other documentation. Deposits at failed banks are insured up to the federal limit.

Take additional precautions to protect yourself from fraud or theft. Experts suggest that consumers be wary of any offer to sell them a prepaid card for less than its face value, because it may have been stolen or otherwise obtained improperly. When you first get a card, inspect it for indications that any of the protective stickers have been tampered with. It's also always important to promptly review your monthly statement (online or on paper) to check for errors or fraud.
