I was extremely happy with the price and quality of the gown I found. It did need a lot of alterations which ended up costing more than the actual price of the dress but the quality of the work was really great so it was worth it. Their customer service could use a little work however. There were 2 phone conversations that were pretty unprofessional. They called once at 9 p.m. and wanted to change my appointment time for the next morning which I thought was a bit late notice but was willing to comply and then when I called to change my appointment time for the next week, 6 days before my appointment, they were unwilling to accommodate but finally gave in after I pushed back a little. They always seemed just a bit disorganized every time we went back for appointments but the dress turned out beautiful so I guess I can't complain.
I am very pleased with ediths bridal. I found my perfect dress there and was always taken care of by the staff. They were mor than happy to help me find what i was looking for, as well as offering water to me and my family that came along. For purchasing my dress, I got $100 credit toward a head piece. I wan't going to wear a headpiece so I asked if I could use it toward jewelry, and tey said yes! I got my bridal jewelry for free!
Happy girl right here, and my dress was stunning.
My experience was very pleasant and the staff was very helpful and professional.
They have a great selection but they were rude & unresponsive after they made the sale. I had to ask numerous times if my dress was in & being from another state made picking up my dress when they were not communicating with me very difficult. I tried on my dress when it came in & no one helped us check out for 45 minutes. What a nightmare!
Simply put, do NOT go to Edith's in Fond du Lac. They don't apologize for any errors they make and now we are hoping to get our dresses in time for the wedding. We ordered them 6 months out.
Overall great experience, but some bumps along the way: we got everything from my gown, bridesmaids, tuxes, flower girl dress, MOB dress, etc. Stephanie in bridesmaid dresses is fabulous, and Jane in alterations was amazing to work with. Sometimes we had snotty girls at the alterations desk counter. Overall my main complaint is that I was told I was too "well endowed" to wear cups, so I searched forever for a bra that would work. Bought a bra that was not returnable for over $100; when I came back and said I was uncomfortable and this was the best I could find, was told to try and cups, which ended up working and had to pay again for alterations. Also some of the alterations are over priced--I paid $90 for a little bit to be taken in on the bust by my armpits.
Lastly, my sister got pregnant unexpectadely, and one of the alterationists was very rude, questioning her if she knew she was pregnant when she ordered the dress, if she knew she was preganant when she picked up with dress (she didn't), and that they would charge her a rush fee, My other sister was preganat at the time and they told her they make special exceptions for preganant women because they continue to grow and need to make changes closer to the date of the wedding. Once we complained that we were told there would be no rush fee because she is preganant, they removed the charge. Overall, stick with Jane for alterations--I worked with her later on near my wedding--she was very knowledgeable and helpful, while making us feel comfortable. Ediths has a wide variety, beautiful dresses, and way better customer service than David's Bridal.
My fiancée went to Edith's bridal twice looking for bridesmaid dresses. Both times the attendant assigned was attempting to juggle several different appointments and could not devote much time to what my fiancée needed; the second time the attendant's attitude left something to be desired. Once a couple of dresses were singled out, she wanted to purchase a color swatch for me in case I went somewhere else for my tuxes. They made her bridesmaid sign a contract for a dress even though a final one wasn't actually selected or ordered and charged her $50 just to receive the swatch.
The next day my fiancée opted to go somewhere else but still wanted to purchase the sashes from Edith's. She called in order to tell them and see if the $50 could be applied towards a different purchase in their store as the dresses would not be bought from there and nothing had actually been ordered. The Edith's rep on the phone stated they followed their policy and that the $50 was non-refundable or transferable. My fiancée tried explaining she was not looking for a refund and wanted to conduct business with them but not for any dresses just sashes. The rep refused and said the $50 could not be used elsewhere in their store and that they had followed policy and nothing further could be done. Needless to say, they made my decision easy on not going there for my tuxes.
Shortly after my fiancée called David's Bridal in Appleton to ask for a swatch that she found in one of their catalogs. They charged her $1 per each sample and agreed to mail them to our house. Now that's some excellent customer service!
I wouldn't recommend Edith's as they seemed fairly unprofessional and somewhat uncaring. I understand and respect that businesses need to have policies, but requiring a $50 payment for a business card sized swatch of cloth seems a bit unnecessary.
I purchased my dress from Ediths and was extremely happy with it. The lady that helped me was Carol Ann and she was very sweet, worked with me even when I had no clue what I wanted, and gave helpful opinions and quality customer service! I didn't purchase the dress the first day I tried it on, but went back later after I found it more expensive at another bridal shop. They don't allow pictures until you put money down, which sucks...but I guess they expect you'll try to find it cheaper elsewhere if you know exactly what it looks like and who the designer is...They did tell me to order up several sizes from the sample, which I was shocked by..I chose to order a 10, instead of the 12 they recommended and everything worked out just fine even without me working out, so go with your gut on what size to order! I did opt to take the dress out for alterations and was happy I did that. I met with my alterations lady at least 3-4 times in the city I live in, had it shortened, cups put in, steamed 3 times, and busseled for $100- the lady was amazing! I would have paid at least double that in the store. We also got our suits from Edith's and were very happy with that service as well! The guys looked great and had no real problems and I got many compliments on my dress.
I loved my dress and the seamstress did excellent on my alterations!
Thank you so much for your help last week while I tried on dresses. Your patience and expertise were greatly appreciated not only by me, but by my mom, aunt and cousin as well. You had so many different suggestions and your willingness to go the extra mile certainly made a great impression on all of us. I can't wait to see the final product.
Just writing a quick note to thank Edith's and the wonderful staff for helping me look my best on my wedding day! The dress looked beautiful! Keep up the great work. My Mom got her dress at your store and I hope you will be around if we have daughter who needs a dress.
The service at Edith's was just right. I didn't want someone hovering or overbearing. They were professional and helpful. Our dresses and tuxes were beatiful and fit great.
I had no promlem with my dress but &my flower girl's dress ended up getting discontinuied & they never contacted me & by the time i found out about it we couldn't get it i was so mad that i ended up having a friend make her a dress.
I found my dress at Ediths - the first place I looked. Of course after finding the dress I looked at two other bridal shops to be sure, but nothing measured up to the first one that I found here. The staff at Edits were all very friendly and helpful and they did my alterations beautifully. My only concern was the pressure to purchase a dress that was at least 2 dress sizes larger than the one I had requested. The "floor model" that I tried on fit me well - if only a little snug. Based on this and my measurements I was recommonded to purchase a dress two full sizes larger and then pay for alterations. After much discussion I decided to purchase the dress in the current size but in a "wider" size. This dress fit perfectly, however it wasn't explained to me that the wider size would require a side panel that shifted the side seam on the dress. With the beading on the dress and the shifted side seam the overall look was one that made me actually look *much* wider.... In the end I'm sure I'm the only one that really noticed, but I would have been happier in the original size that I wanted without the pressure to purchase up.
I went in about 3 months before the wedding to pick up my bridesmaid dress for the first fitting after being measured. The dress was way too small which I didn't expect it to fit perfectly anyway. I had talked with a staff member about letting it out as much as possible and she told me to come back at the end of August for another fitting. When I came back in early September, no alterations were even made. When I asked what the point of me coming in July was, she said that was just a consultation. I asked if the alterations would be done on time for the wedding and they said I would be charged a rush fee. Now they said I have to come in for a third time for a fitting (I live about 45 minutes away so this is very inconvenient). So far, absolutely nothing has been done with the dress and they made no effort to fix the situation.
Awful wedding experience. I would never recommend anyone to have their wedding experience here. The staff overall was rude and unhelpful. There was one young lady in bridal that I give props to, but management was rude and had major attitude. She did not help in anyway. They made several mistakes and thought an apology was sufficient after wasting more than $600 to fix all their mistakes. I have never had such a poor shopping experience in my life. I got more help from the Formal Event in Appleton and didn't even buy my dress or bridesmaid dresses.

Giving Butterflies a Boost

The world's monarch butterflies now fit into an area smaller than four football fields. Last March, we told you about how pesticides used in Canada and the U.S. are killing the milkweed the monarchs need to survive their long journey. A new study published in Conservation Biology details how another cause has aided the pesticides in contributing to the monarch's current plight: illegal logging.

Visiting the Monarchs' Home

Wished all my JB"S live in Tennessee!
I just love this JUDDD thread! Just wanted to post this tread to express how much I wish we all lived close by. We could get cool JUDDD BUDD T-shirts, go work out together, etc etc..... However, we've got the next best thing. A way to connect through LCF which I am so grateful for. I know it probably sounds cheesy, but I just think about it sometimes and it gives me a warm&fuzzy. :D:heart:
That's so sweet! I feel the same way. Sometimes I like to think of a big JUDDD "reunion", or I guess it would just be a "union" wouldn't it? Talk about a big party. It would definitely have to be a universal UD!
Sounds fun to me!
It would be really fun to meet and it would definitely be an UD for all! I think Dr. J would approve!
Me too! Maybe a JB cruise ???
I would love that too! Maybe the ones that live close to each other can have a get-together. :) I think several JBs are in S.C.
Everyone's still welcome to meet up in Las Vegas next month when DH and I renew our vows! ;)
I think we should all live in California, mainly because I already live here, but also because then we could have a JUDDD party at Disneyland!
Send me a ticket, Dawn!:p:cool:
Woo hoo I'm up for Vegas! And I agree on it being an UD meeting. Ha, ha. Ok well it's good to know others feel the same way.;)
Great ideas, everyone...I'm not sure about a cruise..they sure are having a lot of bad luck lately...well..it's a small per centage I know..maybe we could have a convention sometime...I know we have some great people on here that could plan that for us...as people keep having success with this woe, I think it's gonna become a movement..just think of all the knowledge, understanding..and encouragement we get here...and it's totally, freely given...what a concept, huh?
Jaymar we were posting at the same time and I was saying we should have a convention too lol.
I wonder if we could have a sponsor?
Hey Sher...I really do believe that with all the success of the JUDDD woe, it is going to be a huge thing in the future..it's a shame that Dr Judd doesn't realize so many are having success..but word will get out , in time...and then who knows..I would think some company or group would be interested at some time.
Sorry I missed you JMBM. We lived outside Memphis several years ago before moving. My parents are still in the general area so I swing that way a couple times a year.
Can you imagine a bunch of JUDDD buds on a cruise during an UD? We'd eat them out of house and home :hyst:
I agree we need to plan a convention or trip of some sort to meet with every one who can make it.. I was thrilled to meet with a fellow JUDDEr here in Michigan.. IT was one of the best lunches ever.. So im in if any one can figure out a way to throw one together~
A convention would be a neat idea!:up: Good way to share JUDDD with others. I wish I would've learned to eat this way years ago. Very happy with JUDDD and finally feel like im getting the hang of things a little better. The whole DD thing is nothing like when I first started. I am just determined to keep myself busy until I'm ready to eat and when I do eat I am keeping a close eye on measuring my servings/portions. However, since I've been measuring so much I'm getting a pretty good idea how much a cup of something looks like when I go out to eat.
There are number of JUDDD BUDDDs in the London and Home Counties area... distances aren't that big here. Just saying????
Or a picnic in one of the [searing sun/wind-tossed/rain-driven] Royal Parks.
Lol, the Parks are a wild idea, 4 seasons in a day. I'd love to meet up.
Some of us doing Atkins did it a few years ago. Fun.

Fergus Cullen: Repeal frenzy in Concord undermines the concept of settled law
In 2011, the new Republican majority reversed a State House gun ban enacted by the previous Democratic majority. The first thing the new Democratic majority did last month was reinstate the ban.
Last year Republicans in the Legislature teamed up with the then all-Republican Executive Council to kill funding for a wasteful study on commuter rail. With Democrats now in charge of both bodies, the boondoggle is back from the dead and on track for passage.
The last Legislature cut the state cigarette tax by ten cents. The new Democratic majority looks certain to restore that cut and then some. The last Legislature expanded the state's existing castle doctrine, allowing people to use deadly force while defending themselves not just in their homes, but in most public places. The new Legislature may repeal the change.
This sort of political ping-pong is a relatively recent phenomenon in New Hampshire. It didn't used to happen because control of the New Hampshire Legislature never changed between the parties. Republicans dominated since the Old Man of the Mountain was a kid.
Those days ended in 1998, when Democrats rode Gov. Jeanne Shaheen's coattails to a 13-11 majority in the state Senate. That tenuous majority was short-lived: Republicans earned back a tie when Tom Eaton won a special election in Keene and they regained the majority the following year, but it was a harbinger. The permanent majority was no more. In 2006, Democrats took control of both chambers of the Legislature. The GOP got control back in 2010, and last year Democrats retook the House, but not the Senate.
The result is there is no such thing as settled law anymore. The last Legislature repealed the state's minimum wage law. The new Legislature is poised to repeal the repeal. The last Legislature passed a voter ID law. The new Legislature will vote on repeal.
It's not always bad to revisit past laws. Abolishing slavery and prohibition come to mind. The last Legislature repealed, in bipartisan fashion, the LLC tax crafted by then-state Sen. Maggie Hassan. It tried to end New Hampshire's participation in the failed Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. The new majority did the right thing last month when it got rid of the Redress of Grievances Committee, itself reinstituted two years earlier, which had become a forum for angry dads with axes to grind against judges and ex-wives.
Nor is it bad to remeasure support for perennial issues when popular sentiment is shifting over time. Support for observing Martin Luther King Day grew for years before it passed. Efforts to repeal the death penalty advanced in 2000 and 2009, stopped by veto threats from Govs. Shaheen and John Lynch. Now New Hampshire has a death row inmate and new Gov. Hassan favors repeal.
But most repeal efforts in Concord these days are more about ideology and symbolism than they are about sound public policy. In too many cases laws are being reversed before they are given a chance to work, or the repeal seems motivated by grudges against former House Speaker Bill O'Brien and his pet causes.
A case in point is the Democratic effort to repeal New Hampshire's new education scholarship tax credit, a pilot program that offers hope for access to better schools to a couple hundred children. The program hasn't even been implemented yet and Democrats are already suffocating it in the crib. This repeal effort puts Democratic loyalty to teachers unions ahead of kids.
Republicans have made their own mistakes pushing repeals on ideological grounds. Last March, social conservatives tried to repeal New Hampshire's gay marriage law, asking legislators to take away a right that had already been bestowed. The measure failed when a majority of Republicans voted against it, suggesting the majority should never have taken the measure up in the first place.
Voters have little patience for Legislatures they perceive as more interested in scoring ideological points than improving people's lives, and constant repeal efforts can wear out a new majority's good will in a hurry.

Strania -The Stella Machina- is a vertically-scrolling Shoot 'em Up by G.rev, the same developers behind Border Down and Senko no Ronde, as well as the providers of the engine used in Treasure's Ikaruga. Strania is an old throwback to classic arcade shooters of the 1980s.The arcade game was first released in 2009, players take the role of the Stranian force's Soichirou Touma (Player 1) and Yu Beatrix Barrett (Player 2) as they pilot their Mecha and take on the Vower. Just as the old shoot 'em up days, players plows through everything that stands in their way, collecting various weapon Power Ups, and generally blowing stuff up.It was later released for the Xbox 360 via Xbox LIVE Arcade on March 30, 2011. Roughly two months after its release, G.rev released the downloadable Side: Vower Expansion Pack for the game. As the title suggests, the Side: Vower expansion allows the players to play as the enemy forces, the Vower's Yosemite (Player 1) and Su Quadra (Player 2), while the game's original stages are played in reverse, adding in a new soundtrack, and throwing in a harder game.
Amidst Strania's and Vower's conflict, the following tropes are provided:

Hey Melanie,
It wouldnt be the worst board but definitely not ideal. Look for something reverse camber as they are generally more forgiving edge wise. Also, a directional shape would benefit you rather than a twin like you have here.

Mark Craig has covered the NFL for 23 years, and the Vikings since 2003 for the Star Tribune. He is one of 44 Pro Football Hall of Fame selectors. Follow him at @markcraignfl.
Master Tesfatsion is the Star Tribune's digital Vikings writer. He is a 2013 graduate of Arizona State and worked for mlb.com before arriving in Minneapolis. Follow him at @masterstrib.
The Vikings signed Rhys Lloyd to a two-year, $1.09 million contract this offseason to serve as their kickoff specialist. The plan was for Ryan Longwell to handle field goals and Lloyd to boom the ball through the end zone.
The only problem is so far the latter has yet to happen. Lloyd has nine kickoffs in three preseason games and all of them have been returned. Given from where the returns of Lloyd's kicks have ended up, he ranks second from last, or 42nd in the NFL, with an average of 63 yards on his kicks.
That type of performance isn't likely to convince the Vikings they need to keep two kickers on their 53-man roster. Longwell isn't known for getting touchbacks but he isn't at the point of his career where he wants to give up kicking off either.
Lloyd had a tough night Saturday against Seattle. He officially had five kickoffs -- the first time in the preseason he has handled all of the kicks in a game -- and his performance was such that afterward he took to Twitter to apologize. Three of his kicks made it to the end zone but three did not.
"I had a good warm-up just for some reason in the game I wasn't hitting the ball very well and the expectations for me as a kicker, not necessarily from the team's standpoint, but mine is a lot higher than the way I performed," Lloyd said. "I obviously wasn't happy after the game and felt I owed an apology whether I needed to or not."
Lloyd should be safe Tuesday as the Vikings cut from 80 to 75 players but the issue could be Saturday when the roster is trimmed to the regular-season limit of 53. So is Lloyd concerned?
"I'm not even thinking about it to be honest with you," he said of possibly being cut. "That's not my job. My job is to go out and kick the ball off and do it well and obviously I did it good in the first game [at St. Louis], second game didn't really have the opportunity [he only had an onside kick at San Francisco] and the last game was kind of 50-50. Like I told you earlier it was just kind of one of those things where from my standpoint it wasn't acceptable and I'll correct it."
A quarterback shuffle?
Sage Rosenfels' success in the preseason has caused some to question whether the veteran should move past Tarvaris Jackson on the depth chart. But the only vote that really matters is that of coach Brad Childress and at this point it seems things will remain the same.
"Anything can change [but] it would probably be hard for it to change" Childress said.
That means Jackson remains the No. 2 quarterback and almost certainly will hold that role a week from this Thursday when the Vikings open at New Orleans. Mark Craig will have more on the quarterback situation in his column that will be online later tonight and in the Tuesday morning paper. I will say that the Vikings coaches have been pleased with what they have seen from Jackson in preseason practices and that weighs heavily in how they make decisions.
"Right from the first day of training camp, I've seen an evolution. I've seen a growth in Tarvaris," Childress said. "Not that I haven't seen it from Sage. He's been the beneficiary of having that extended time, where he was able to flash. We only kept the one's in for that one series against St. Louis [when Jackson worked with the first team]. I thought that Tarvaris played decently in the snaps that he got against San Francisco. But really it's the day-to-day thing. You can say 'Well, it's about the games.' We give them opportunities based on what we see in practice."

The clinical utility of the test refers to the likelihood that the test will, by prompting an intervention, result in an improved health outcome. The clinical utility of a genetic test is based on the health benefits related to the interventions offered to people with positive test results. Theoretically, there are at least five strategies that might improve the health outcome of people with a genetic susceptibility to cancer: Correction of the underlying genetic defect (not currently available)...

Mitsch 1995; Wilson and Mitsch 1996; Brown and Bedford 1997) and wet meadows (Brown and Veneman 1998). Mixed results have been reported in the restoration of wet prairies and sedge meadows (Galatowitsch and van der Valk 1996; Ashworth 1997). Certain floristic assemblages, such as sedge meadows visited by the committee in the Chicago area, require extensive planting and intensive management in order to maintain the desired species composition. Thus, the technical ability to attain a prescribed species assemblage may not be affordable or practical in the long term.
Shrub swamps and forested wetlands are more difficult to create or restore because of the time needed to establish mature woody plants (Niswander and Mitsch 1995; Brown and Veneman 1998; King 2000). The committee observed examples of created wetlands where tree saplings had been planted and appeared to be viable, but forest structural characteristics (e.g., stand density, stand height, basal area per tree) were quite different from those of the mature stands they were intended to replace. Planted trees are usually small in diameter, so that basal area per tree is small in comparison to natural forested wetlands. The density (trees per unit area) of planted stands is typically higher than that of natural stands because of either permit specifications or the desire to compensate for mortality. Given sufficient time, planted trees would be expected to attain basal areas comparable to those of trees in natural stands, but densely planted stands would continue to differ from natural stands unless thinned.
Seagrasses and salt marshes are sometimes described as wetlands that are relatively easy to restore or create, based on a long history of mitigation involving eelgrass (Zostera marina) and smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora; Simenstad and Thom 1992; 1996). Each of these natural vegetation types has the following features that are amenable to restoration or creation:
One vascular plant species dominates the vegetation; that is, it forms the matrix of the ecosystem.
The species in question have been well studied for growth requirements and environmental tolerances.
The matrix species is readily collected and propagated and planted because of its particular clonal growth form (ramets are produced from rhizomes that are easily subdivided).
These vegetation types grow in relatively wet conditions where environmental variability is buffered by ocean water of relatively constant temperature, salinity, and pH.
These species are natural colonizers of bare substrates ("early succession" species).
