I have been together with my husband for 5 years married for less then one. We have had a great relationship up till recently. I had a son from a previous relationship which he was always amazing with. Everyone in my life thought we were perfect together. He has treated me so good, and I thought in my heart we could last forever based off the great relationship we have had and that we have been friends for so long. Within the last two years we got engaged and then pregnant all in the same year. It took a tole on our relationship as most children do in the first year and to add the first year of marriage we have been bumping heads so much. We had poor communication and just could not see eye to eye. I just thought it was typical and that we would get through it, but then all hell broke loose.
About 3 months back he shut down on me. He said he had been uphappy lately and felt like he couldnt feel his love for me. I was kissing his ass trying to read books and be a better wife. I tried to put all my issues aside and let him have his time alone. Well things just kept getting more weird and he was making no progress so by the end of the month I started checked our phone records and sure enough he was talking to another woman from pretty much the exact time he shut down. I put all his stuff by the door and told him to go to his moms. He has been living there for 2 months now.
The first month he was out he was a complete ass to me. I asked him if we should get a divorce or if he wanted to try and figure it out. He was completely shut off still and wouldnt just tell me it was over. I finally had enough and told him I was getting a divorce. 3 days later he says is it to late to go to counseling that he wants to try and work on it. He then started opening up, he told me he stopped talking to her and that he wanted to work on us. He told me that since I kicked him out that they had slept together twice. I am sure it is more but whatever. So he then starts counseling had been going for 3 weeks now alone. I refuse to spend time with him because he continues to go to the bar on the weekend which obviously if he is really working on this he would do whatever it took to get me back. I am fed up with his actions. I told him if he is not going to fully commit to working it out with me and doing what needs to be done to try to rebuild trust then I am getting a divorse. He says he doesnt want to sit at his moms on the weekend and do nothing. He wants to spend time with us but I dont know how to let him when I am so angry at him and he has done nothing but once a week counseling up to now. I dont feel like he is going to change but I am still holding on to my family and the possiblity. I dont know if I try and move forward and lay some ground rules or if I just get out now.
During this time I also found out from one of his friends wifes that early on while we were dating and he was working on the road in Vegas of all places he was drunk at the pool when they went to visit and was making out with a random girl but he passed out at the pool. She also heard that when I was pregnant he went to a wedding without me cause I was too pregnant and was once again wasted trying to pursue a woman.
Can people change? Do I try to work it out for my kids? I now have two kids with two dads and really dont want to be that woman. I love my husband and thought we had a good relationship but I think he maybe to selfish and immature to do what is needed to fix this. I feel like it will happen again, but doesnt everyone? Did any of you try to rebuild not living together?

No everything was out in the open with having a baby, we both wanted one we had many conversations regarding it, but we were not yet married. I only questioned it because I wanted people to know that we were getting married because we wanted to, not because of the baby. He proposed before I got pregnant. I was going to get back on birth control when he proposed so I wasnt a pregnant bride but of course the month after he proposed I got pregnant. The only thing he said about getting pregnant, was that he didnt even think he could have a baby (like his sperm were ruined from all the weed he has smoked).

I agree with saving it for the couples counseling but what suggestions could you give me in regaurds to us not living together and me trusting him. I feel like we need some ground rules. He agreed to not going to the bar anymore and I agreed to spend time with him on the weekends, but I still dont know if he really goes home after. I feel like my gut is telling me he is, but do I just wait till I here so and so saw him out? I feel like I am just waiting for something bad to happen which prevents me from being able to move forward. I also am not on our phone records I asked him to put me back on he said yes but then doesnt do it then I am once again the nagging woman. I feel like I want to try and want this to work I just dont know how. Sorry I am just so confused, and look from advise from any place inbetween my counseling apt. My friends understand but at this point think I should just move on, yet I can't seem to do it yet cause I still have hope and still love him and want to save my family.

The thing about trust is either you trust him or you don't. You don't--that decision has already been made by you, except you dont' want to look it in its face and call it by its name.
Wanting to see the phone records is you saying "I don't trust you"--and you don't. Wanting to follow him home from after the weekend is you saying "I don't trust you"--and you don't.
I"m not saying you dont' have good reason; I'm saying you need to be honest with yourself that you dont' trust him and if you can't trust him, then why waste the time trying to get back together? You think he's immature, super selfish and impulsive--what do you think getting back together will solve as far as this is concerned? Right now, the only thing getting back together resolves is your feeling of not "being that woman"--which is based more in controlling what people who don't matter think of you and not what's in your best interests. Do you really think it's in your best interests to get back with someone who chased after another woman for months while in under the same roof as you and your children, drinks like a fish and smokes like a chimney? Who spends money foolishly and doesn't give any mature thought to the effects of his actions? Do you really want to play the role of mother to a grown man for the forseeable future?
Will you like the person you have to become in order to keep this man under your eye?
|Sun, 03-10-2013 - 2:02pm
Well you said yourself "I don't think he's going to change" and I'd probably have to agree with that. Oh he may change for a while to get back into your good graces, but he will most likely revert back to his old ways when problems arise in your marriage again, UNLESS he finds constructive ways to deal with them that don't include chasing other women, drinking, and smoking weed. YOU cannot change him. The only thing that will change him is himself and deciding he wants to make a true commitment to marriage and family and giving up his bad habits. Can he really change his ways and become a familty man? Only time will tell and it depends on how much time you are willing to give him. Good Luck

I agree he is super selfish, aren't all these men/woman who choose this way to deal with there issues at home. He defenitely shut down on me he has always been the type of guy who is super positive and happy and wants life to be fun and easy so when problems arose he never expressed how he was feeling and this other woman asked him how he was doing and showed him attention (she is super attractive and he new here from his past) on Facebook and he proceded to talk with her about our issues. He is not very good at being sneaky or I have one hell of an intuition figuring it out in one months time. He denied and still does, that anything happend but talking while we were together, it was once I kicked him out and he thought we were done that he hung out with her. That went on for the first month he was out. But I could feel his BS so until I said I was getting a divorce then he freaked out. Or didn't freak out but said he wanted to go to counseling and work on it. My intuition then told me that he was really not talking to her. I could feel it some how and still dont think he is.
I think he is the type of person who runs from his issues and again wants life to be easy so drinking his problems away seems to numb the pain, and yes he then does not think logically. I wonder if going to a counselor can help him see the issues that he has? I feel like he wants this life and to work on this and I do feel like he loves me, but I feel like he grew up around drinking cheating and its why it is happening.
He is such a gentelman and is so helpful and loving and would do anyhting for anyone, which is why I never saw this selfish side of him till lately. Obviously now I think otherwise.
I do think I would be totally ok with out him. I am a strong independent woman I am attractive and a hard worker I pretty much gave him everything he has. That may sound selfish but we met young (24) we were both going to the bars a lot I had my shit together and he didn't so when we got together he did everything he could to get me and he did I feel like he changed for me cause he wanted this life, but when things got hard he resorted back to the loser he was. Im not by any means afraid to be alone its just that I have two kids I still love him we have a good foundation, a good friendship and have a lot of the same goals and intrests, and I am scared to invest 5 or so years into someone else and this be the outcome again.
I know I need to get tested I asked him to go too now that we are 100 percent both committed to working on it.

Just a guess, but it sounds like he "shut down" on you after finding somebody new, and it sounds like now that he realizes the affair wasn't going to work out (they virtually never do), now all of a sudden you're looking pretty good to him again. I do not hear him giving solid reasons for YOU to want to stay together. If he's also been observed going after other women, then you're likely married to a serial cheater, another guess but probably pretty correct. Have you been tested? Has he? That's your #1 issue here, making sure you haven't picked up something he picked up from God knows who. If he's ADMITTED to sleeping with this one woman twice, that's dicey - most deny sleeping with them at all, so again, just a guess two isn't the right number. So, he doesn't want to sit at his mom's house doing nothing on the weekends. How insulting to you. In other words, you're better to him than hanging out at his mother's. Yep, he's giving you all kinds of incentive to want to stay together. People can change - behavior. Not who they are inside, just behavior. And past behavior is supposed to be the best predictor of future behavior. Things have gone downhill since you got married, communication isn't good, you don't agree on things as a rule. Ask yourself what you are getting from this arrangement? I bet if you spent serious time apart you'd be happier. Those who come here have been affected by infidelity, but some partners in the stories come off as blatantly selfish, and yours sounds like one of them. Get yourself tested and if you're uncertain how to proceed, find a therapist to help you make certain of your decision. All of us here deserve better than we got.
I just read your last post - about how can you trust him? You can't, not now, anyway. He has to EARN THAT, it's totally HIS job, it is not your job, and it can take a very, very long time. He has to become totally transparent to you in all his activities, be able to account for all hours of his day, volunteer you seeing his e-mail accounts/phone call info, and anything else you want. If he refuses, he's even more selfish than he appeared initially, AND he isn't committed to working it out. I would not trust him any further than you could throw him at the moment. He has a lot of work to do and he cannot do it alone, he needs help. Basically he should start kissing your tush from now on, and you should simply let him. BUT....only once he begins to prove himself. And I'd also suggest you join him in counseling and have an agreement with the therapist that anything said separately can be repeated to either of you, too. No detail is too small right about now.

I would say yes we both wanted a baby he just didn't think it would happen.
What? Was he not having unprotected sex with you? The result of unprotected sex is conception. Did he think you were using BC and you weren't? I don't understand why he would think it wouldn't happen unless there was a miscommunication regarding contraception.
I told him all the time all the responsiblity a baby brings and how its hard. The lack of sleep, lack of freedom, the arguments that may come with it. I tried to prep him. We are both 29 I just feel like he is extremely immature and likes his free time, and we havent had much since the baby came along. I feel like he started second guessing everything he just committed too because he likes things to be fun and easy and that is not life and marriage, it takes work. I think he is seeing that now.

I just agreed to start spending time with him, he said he would stop going out and would commit to working on this 100 percent. He said we need a starting point and I agreed. I told him I will try and enjoy our time together but if I have questions and want to talk about things I feel like he owes it to me to open up. Is it okay of me to talk about stuff or do you think I should save it for our couples counseling?
Save it for couples counselling. At this point, everything is fragile and you don't want to enter into a line of discussion that can end up blowing up what you're trying to accomplish. The therapist is trained to guide you both through that minefield and keep you both mindful of the boundaries.
I am very over powering and he has a hard time opening up so it is hard for us to talk about serious issues cause I get going and he gets quite :)
which is why, like I said, save it for the therapist's office.
Also how to you not question everything they say and if they are being honest? I have a hard time believing almost anything at this point. I wonder if this will just happen again.

Save it for the therapist's office until you've learned effective communication techniques with each other. You have to make a decision---either you want marriage with him or you don't. You want to either move forward in marriage or punish him for the forseeable future. If you're opting for punishment, then save the money on the therapist and hire an attorney instead and get it over with.
It's reasonable to think that nothing he says is truthful--so on that, he's going to have to show you through his consistent action that what he's saying is the truth. Nothing is going to spin the earth backwards to the point before he chose to enter into what he did--nothing. Make peace with that and move on. However, a lot of this also has to do with forgiving him and releasing yourself from the prison and the power his actions have had over you. If your investment is in this situation having power over you, then you will be the one who remains stuck while everyone else will have moved on and left you there.

I honestly dont think any of my expectations are unreasonable. I dont even know what expectations I have thrown out there except counseling and not going to the bar if he is committing to working on our marriage. I do agree we both have communicating problems and I do agree that I am over bearing which I am going to counseling for and I am aware of.
I understand he lost feeling for me because he thinks I act like his mother, but when he is abusing alcohol and marajuana and it is apparently distorting his logical thinking then I feel I have every right to be frusturated. I understand that things need to change, but the problem is that he cheated and cheated before we were married and I dont know because he is immature and selfish if it is inevitable that it will happen again? He is very impulsive he wants things before it is financially possible he obviously struggles with self control in all areas of his life and it is one hell of a stress on my back when I try to financially keep us in check and have to deal with the abusing alcohol and now cheating!
I am confused because he wants to try and rebuild but becuase he lost feelings he questions everything. He says he realizes he does still love me and he misses me, but he is not passionate about rebuilding like some of these other men/woman I read about. He still thinks this could end in divorce as do I, but we recently did commit 100 percent.
Would still love to here your opinion Ill take it all, and I do agree the best place would most likely be in a control counseling atmosphere since we have the communication issues.

it is clear that you know that there is communication problems. And that you are overbearing. Most males are not verbal fighters. But your expectations are unreasonable. You will need counseling. look if someone is being over bearing we could say bullying. Now how would anyone feel to and about their oppressor? learning how to overcome years of dysfunctional communications will take a while. For now i think with a counselor to have these talks about stuff would be more valuable.
|Fri, 03-08-2013 - 7:10pm
I do think he has a drinking problem too. From what I have observed he seems to run from his problems by over indulging in drinking and marajuana. It was one of the biggest issues in our relationship recently. I dont care what he does as long as he moderates, but he so often takes it to another level.
He grew up around parents that partied a lot. I did not, I grew up around parents that socially drank but never got out of control. We have both been going to individual conseling and since we have both decide to 100 percent commit to working on this we will now go to couples counseling. Hopefully they can help him recognize his problem since it wont be coming out of my mouth. He also agreed to not go out. So we again are making baby steps.

Monitoring network wrap-up
The SWD Monitoring Network was once again a success! A big "THANK YOU!" goes out to the 18 Cornell Cooperative Extension and Cornell University scientists who made the network possible in 28 Counties in NY. Funding for the network was provided in 2014 by the NY State Berry Growers Association, the Department of Entomology, Cornell Cooperative Extension Regional Programs, Cornell Cooperative Extension County Associations and the NYS IPM Program.
All but four of the 107 SWD trapping sites in the SWD Monitoring Network caught SWD this year. Those four, in Herkimer and Saratoga Counties, were pulled once the crop was harvested or infestation was found in fruit. We continue to conduct extension at the same time as the research is being done in an attempt to stay ahead of spotted wing!
SWD was first trapped in NY about four weeks later than in 2012 and 2013. Continuous or sustained captures also occurred four weeks later than in prior years. The delayed arrival of SWD into NY spared June strawberries, cherries, summer raspberries and most blueberry varieties from infestations. However, later maturing berries such as fall raspberry, blackberry, day-neutral strawberry and possibly grapes currently are at risk.
Spotted wing first reports were posted on the SWD blog. Cornell scientists alerted growers directly and via newsletters to protect their crops when SWD was found in their area. The NY trap network seems again to have proven successful in accomplishing its primary goal of monitoring for first trap catch of SWD and disseminating information to growers. For next year, we are discussing the possibility of using a commercially available lure in the traps to simplify trapping, doing fruit monitoring, and timing trap placement to coincide with a typical crop phenology such as the end of June strawberry harvest.
Hummingbirds may enjoy eating SWD! An article in Good Produce, Berry Growers Sharing Great Ideas by Charlie O'Dell, published May 14, 2014, highlights "Unusual Way to Control SWD" one grower's use of hummingbird feeders to attract these beautiful, pugnacious, and voracious birds. When feeding their young, hummingbirds will eat up to 2,000 small insects per day! "Robert Hays of Hays Berry Farms at Dumas, MS, installs 25 hummingbird feeders per acre in his six acres of blackberries and fills each with a plain, clear, sugar-water solution. He estimates there are more than 500 hummingbirds flying around his fields on picking days, some even landing briefly on pickers' arms or hats. Between his beneficial insects and his hummingbirds, he has not had to spray."
The diet of an average hummingbird consists mostly of flower nectar and insects. Flower nectar provides sugar to support their high metabolic rate… even higher during flight due to their rapid wing flapping rates. The insects hummingbirds eat provide them with protein, amino acids, and necessary vitamins and minerals. The insects must be small enough to swallow whole during flight – watch out, SWD! Hummingbird prey includes (but is not limited to) small beetles, flies and fruit flies, gnats, mosquitoes, and spiders.
The nectar that hummingbirds drink from flowers is simply a sugar solution. This can be easily replicated for a hummingbird feeder. The most common solution is 1 part table sugar to 4 parts water. The sugar solution should be boiled after mixing to drive off chlorine and kill yeast and bacteria, then cooled. This can then be put in a feeder. Feeders should be red or have red trim, because red is the best color for attracting hummingbirds. The feeder should be regularly cleaned of insects and the sugar solution replaced. The higher the temperatures, the more frequently the nectar will have to be changed.
To follow up on this idea for controlling SWD, I reviewed information from The Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Their FAQ's have a wealth of information on hummingbirds – all of which supported the idea that attracting these birds into your late summer berry plantings of fall raspberry, blackberry, elderberry, etc. could prove highly beneficial in controlling SWD.
Attracting hummingbirds to your area
In May, hang your hummingbird feeders. Use fairly small feeders at first, and change sugar water at least every couple of days in hot weather or if feeders are in direct sunlight, and every 2-4 days when it's cooler and feeders are shaded. Flowers in your garden, especially those with tubular red corollas, attract hummingbirds.
Q. What's the best recipe for hummingbird nectar?
The sugar content of natural flower nectar varies, and is roughly comparable to sugar water mixtures ranging from a quarter to a third cup of sugar per cup of water. During hot, dry weather, when hummingbirds risk dehydration, it's best to make your mixture no stronger than a quarter cup of sugar per cup of water. But during cold, rainy spells, making the mixture a bit stronger, up to about a third cup of sugar per cup of water, will not hurt your birds and may help them.
Q. Should I use red food coloring in hummingbird food?
There is absolutely no reason to add any red dyes to hummingbird sugar water. After all, natural flower nectar is clear, and hummingbird feeders have colorful parts that attract hummingbird regardless of the color of the sugar water.
Q. How do I keep ants out of my hummingbird feeder?
Many hummingbird feeders—especially the saucer variety—have a center "moat" separate from where the sugar water is placed. These feeders are easy to keep ants out of by filling that moat with water. The ants that do get down into it drown, but usually just don't even try. If you have another kind of feeder, make sure it's hanging by a simple rod rather than string, and coat a center spot all around, about an inch wide, with petroleum jelly. The ants won't cross that.
Q. Should I stop feeding birds in fall so they can start their migration?
Keeping your feeders up has no influence on whether a bird will start its journey south. A number of factors trigger the urge for birds to migrate, and the most significant one is day length. As days grow shorter in late summer, birds get restless and start to head south, taking advantage of abundant natural food, and feeders where available, to fuel their flight. Hummingbirds are no different from others and will migrate regardless of whether feeders are kept up. However, we encourage people to keep feeders up for several weeks after the last hummingbird leaves the area, just in case a straggler shows up in need of additional energy before completing the long journey south.
Hummingbird behavior
Q. How much do birds eat each day?
This varies depending on the caloric value of the food, the bird's activity levels, and the temperature of its environment. Hummingbirds can consume 100 percent of their body's weight in sugar water or nectar every day, in addition to as many as 2,000 tiny insects! Before migration, it's not unusual for a hummingbird to double its weight, adding a huge amount of fat to power the long journey.
Q. Why do hummingbirds fight so much?
Hummingbirds are aggressive for a good reason—they can't afford to share flowers during times when not many blossoms are available because they may have to wander a long way after nectar is depleted. This aggression is so deeply ingrained that they just can't figure out that feeders are different. Overall, you'll feed far more hummingbirds by setting out four tiny one-port feeders than one giant eight-port one. Spread them out and the birds won't have to see one another, arousing their territoriality. You'll get to watch them through more windows, and they'll be much happier, too. (25 feeders per acre)
Q. Why do I see fewer hummingbirds in midsummer?
Adult male hummingbirds aggressively defend their territory, and if your yard is within the territory of one, he may drive all other male hummingbirds away during the nesting season.
If you have a nesting female nearby, she will visit your feeder only periodically, spending most of her time incubating her eggs. After the eggs hatch, she usually concentrates her feeding at flowers that supply tiny insects as well as nectar—insects contain the protein that her nestlings need in order to grow. Once the young have fledged, she continues feeding them for several days until the fledglings have mastered getting their own food. At this time, she may bring them to your feeders to teach them how to take advantage of this easy food supply, too. This is also when males begin migrating, with adult females soon following. So many of the hummingbirds that suddenly appear are actually migrants from farther north, just passing through.
Hummingbird migration
Q. Do hummingbirds migrate in flocks?
Hummingbirds migrate individually. When a late October straggler in the East is a Ruby-throated Hummingbird, it's usually an immature bird from further north whose mother got a late start with that nest. Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are strongly migratory, but their bodies need a high level of fat to fly long distances. As people bring in their feeders in fall and frosts kill nectar-bearing flowers, those hummingbirds remaining have to go long distances between feeders, so yours may remain for a week or two before its body is replenished enough to continue. Hummingbirds are surprisingly hardy as long as they can get enough food each day, and they need extra calories during cold spells. When it's cold, it's not a bad idea to up the concentration of sugar to 1/3 cup per cup of water to give it more calories, which they burn while shivering.
Tragically, some of these stragglers do end up dying, but your feeder really isn't keeping your hummingbird from migrating. Rather, your feeder is giving it its best chance to restore its body to continue on.
Q. There's a hummingbird at my feeder in the dead of winter. Will he be okay?
Hummingbirds are remarkably tolerant of cold weather, so it's likely your bird will be fine if it can continue to find food. You can get an idea of where hummingbirds have been found in winter by looking at maps from eBird, like this one of Rufous Hummingbird.
First find skips
SWD has arrived in New York and populations are building up. It is imperative to protect your late summer berry crops. Unfortunately, four county reports were skipped from the blog. First catch of SWD has occurred in Columbia, Tompkins, Livingston and Orange Counties.
Columbia County – first find One male SWD was caught in Columbia County the week ending July 28, 2014 in traps set in sweet cherry by Dan Donahue, Eastern NY Horticulture Program, Cornell Cooperative Extension. No subsequent trap catch was observed at this site; traps were pulled because the crop was harvested. At another site in raspberry in Columbia County, being monitored by Cara Fraver and Laura McDermott, E NY Horticulture Program, a first find SWD female was caught the week ending August 11, 2014, also with no subsequent catch the following week. (GDD = 1698, day length = 14:31)
Tompkins County – first find Three female SWD were caught in Tompkins County the week ending August 13, 2014 in traps set in blackberry by Jacob Robinson and Juliet Carroll, NYS IPM Program. The following week, August 19, 2014, 7 females and 1 male were caught at this site. (GDD = 1722, day length = 13:56)
Livingston County – first find Five female SWD were caught in Livingston County the week ending August 18, 2014 in traps set in fall raspberry by Dave Thorp, Livingston County Cornell Cooperative Extension. The following week (August 25) no SWD were caught, BUT 17 SWD were caught the week ending September 2. (GDD = 1978, day length = 13:44)
Orange County – first find Four female SWD were caught in Orange County the week ending August 19, 2014 in traps set in raspberry by Tim Lampasona and Peter Jentsch, Dept of Entomology, Hudson Valley Laboratory. No subsequent trap catch has been reported for this site. (GDD = 1975, day length = 13:36)
Check out the distribution map of SWD first catch in NY, woven into the NYS IPM SWD fact sheet.
Clinton County – first find
Seven SWD, 2 males and 5 females, were caught in traps the week ending September 2, 2014 in Clinton County. The traps were set in blueberries and monitored by Lindsey Pashow and Amy Ivy, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Clinton County. Fruit samples checked with a salt water floatation test about 10 days prior were negative for SWD larvae. (GDD = 2030, day length = 13:08)
SWD Working Group invite
The Northeast IPM SWD Working Group invites fruit growers, extension specialists, and researchers dealing with SWD to participate in our yearly meeting. The focus of the meeting is for farmers and scientists to share field and research reports culminating in priorities to guide our work on spotted wing Drosophila.
We meet on Tuesday, September 16, 2014 at the Cornell University Hudson Valley Lab, located at 3357 US Highway 9W, Highland, NY. We convene for an informal dinner the night before, Monday, September 15. Participants will gather at 7:45 AM and the meeting will start promptly at 8:15 AM. Your host, Lab Superintendent Peter Jentsch, says, "We're looking forward to hosting the event here at the lab."
The morning session includes fruit industry reports and an open floor for fruit growers to share their experiences with SWD. The Working Group benefits immensely from farmer input, opinions, and ideas. Please consider attending to help guide our work on SWD.
Field reports from states and provinces in Northeastern North America, research updates, and setting and ranking SWD priorities are also on the agenda. The meeting ends at 4:00 PM.
Interested in attending? Email Laura McDermott at firstname.lastname@example.com to let her know and tell her if you'll join us for dinner. The group receives funding from the Northeast IPM Center for the meeting which helps defray travel costs for participants.
Need lodging for the 15th? Super 8 Highland, 3423 US Highway 9W, Highland, NY 12528. Call 1-845-691-6888 ASAP to secure your room; ask for the SWD Working Group rate.
St. Lawrence County – first find
A single female SWD was caught in a trap collected on August 25, 2014 by Paul Hetzler, St. Lawrence County Cornell Cooperative Extension. The trap was set in a berry field. (GDD = 1749, day length 13:31)
To date, most trapping sites in NY have caught SWD, reached sustained trap captures, and populations are climbing. Exceptions to this are three sites in Herkimer County, one site in Saratoga County, and one site in Clinton County, where SWD has not been caught. The tricky aspect of monitoring is that we think that once there is ample ripe fruit in the field and on the ground, the traps may not be as attractive to SWD, though research hasn't verified this.
Traps in the sites I am monitoring in Central NY, the Finger Lakes, and eastern Lake Ontario regions are being pulled this week. The combined total number of SWD caught in the four traps per site at those locations is still low (less than 20) in most sites. However, we are seeing evidence of oviposition and infestation of fruit. SWD populations will continue to increase into the fall and early winter months placing late-season fruit crops at high risk of infestation.
If you are growing blackberries, fall raspberries, elderberries, day neutral strawberries, or late-season blueberries, an insecticide program should be initiated to protect fruit from infestation. The good news is that many of NY's fruit crops escaped infestation this year because SWD arrived 2-4 weeks later than in 2013.
Wyoming County – first find
Four male SWD were caught the week ending August 14, 2014 in traps being monitored in red raspberry by Donald Gasiewicz, Wyoming County Cornell Cooperative Extension. One SWD was caught in a trap set on the edge of the planting; the other three were caught in one trap within the planting. Male SWD are quite distinctive, having a spot on each wing.
Washington County – first find
One male and one female SWD were caught the week ending August 8, 2014 in traps being monitored in blueberry by Cara Fraver and Laura McDermott, Eastern NY Horticulture Program, Cornell Cooperative Extension. The SWD were both caught in a trap set on the edge of the blueberry planting; the other three traps at the site had no SWD.
The SWD monitoring network anticipates an upswing in SWD numbers in the coming weeks. Please plan to protect your late summer berry crops from infestation. As fruit becomes ripe and there is lots of it, traps may compete poorly with fruit for SWD.
Exclusion netting demo
Consider attending a demonstration of the use of exclusion netting for SWD in blueberry on Wednesday, August 13, 2014 from 3:00 – 5:00 pm at The Berry Patch of Stonewall Hill Farm, 15589 NY Route 22, Stephentown, NY. The manufacturer of the netting will also be there.
A high tunnel raspberry planting outfitted with a fixed spray system will also be demonstrated.
Please register by calling Marcie at 518-272-4210 – there is no fee, but we need to have enough meeting materials prepared for you. Leave a voice mail with the number attending, your name and a phone number. This event will happen rain or shine. Questions? – call Laura McDermott, Eastern NY Horticulture Program at 518-791-5038.
This event is in Rensselaer County, so for those of you in Eastern NY and adjacent areas of Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, this may be a good opportunity to see how exclusion netting is applied over a blueberry planting and how a fixed spray system is engineered so you can decide if this might work on your farm.keep looking »

"Not just another flavor of the month"
Yes. The author narrarates the book himself and goes off script throughout the reading so you would miss a lot of points if you just read the printed version. The book does have lots of pictures that show what he is talking about and QR codes that link to videos that demonstrate lean improvements. Both are key to beginning your lean journey on the right foot.
Paul's enthusiasm is contagious and I think I caught it.
Paul is a character.
How to be lean, not just do lean.

My wife and I vividly remember the anesthesiologist's statement: "You may feel a little pressure." She spoke the word gently, as if to imply that's how it would feel, and we believed her. Epidural blocks, she explained, don't numb the sacral nerve roots that deliver sensation from the pelvic floor so my wife would likely feel something as she entered the last stage of labor and our son began passing through her birth canal. But we were both reassured. A mild bit of pressure seemed no threat to our hope of having the same experience my sister-in-law had with her first child: she'd had to be told when to push at the final moments because she couldn't feel anything at all.
My wife's block had incompletely numbed her left side, however. Where my sister-in-law couldn't move either of her legs, my wife could have stood alone on her left one. But, again, we were reassured as the pitocin-induced contractions the monitor told us she was having remained for her a distant, almost imperceptible cramping.

Update: The bonus time is now over
A very exclusive Clinique gift will be available during weekend (August 9 – August 11) at Holt Renfrew.
It is is only available in store, and may vary from each location. This information is true to the Clinique Counter at Holt Renfrew in Calgary.
It will be available only for 3 days, so I highly recommend preorder to reserve this gift.

How to pre-order this bonus?
In order to reserve the gift please call 4032697341 ext 51508 and ask for Natalie.
Shipping costs $7.00 within Calgary city limits. Outside the city or anywhere else in Canada it will cost $12.00. If you have a Holt Renfrew amex and spend over $100 it will be free delivery within Canada.
A good Canadian department store is Sears. Sears Canada was established in 1952 as a joint-venture company with great support from Sears U.S. Although, this store is operating in the United States as well, the Clinique bonus promotions are happening in Canada more frequently than in the U.S.
Sear has its stores in all provinces and territories across Canada. With over 196+ department stores we could compare this network to the Macy's or Nordstrom in United States.

The staffs were extremely helpful and kind in any way possible. The kitchen is well equipped and the living room is a perfect space to relax and meet other travellers. The hostel was really warm despite the freezing winter outside.
Great location, really nice kitchen and bathroom, would definitely come back again! - Anonymous
The best location. New furniture. Friendly staff. A many attractions,
galleries, bars, restaurants, public transport near. - Anonymous
I likes the location: it is so close to red October, some sort of art
centre with restaurants and club, and to Kremlin. From my room, the view
at the Cathedral was beautiful. Also, it was very clean and the bathroom
was well-maintained. It also does not feel very busy with travellers. - Anonymous

|Hebrew Names Version (HNV)
|New International Version (NIV)
|1 Now it happened on the third day, that Ester put on her royal clothing, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, over against the entrance of the house.
|1 On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the palace, in front of the king's hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the hall, facing the entrance.
|2 It was so, when the king saw Ester the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Ester the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Ester drew near, and touched the top of the scepter.
|2 When he saw Queen Esther standing in the court, he was pleased with her and held out to her the gold scepter that was in his hand. So Esther approached and touched the tip of the scepter.
|3 Then said the king to her, What will you, queen Ester? and what is your request? it shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom.
|3 Then the king asked, "What is it, Queen Esther? What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be given you."
|4 Ester said, If it seem good to the king, let the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him.
|4 "If it pleases the king," replied Esther, "let the king, together with Haman, come today to a banquet I have prepared for him."
|5 Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that it may be done as Ester has said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Ester had prepared.
|5 "Bring Haman at once," the king said, "so that we may do what Esther asks." So the king and Haman went to the banquet Esther had prepared.
|6 The king said to Ester at the banquet of wine, What is your petition? and it shall be granted you: and what is your request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
|6 As they were drinking wine, the king again asked Esther, "Now what is your petition? It will be given you. And what is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be granted."
|7 Then answered Ester, and said, My petition and my request is:
|7 Esther replied, "My petition and my request is this:
|8 if I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king has said.
|8 If the king regards me with favor and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, let the king and Haman come tomorrow to the banquet I will prepare for them. Then I will answer the king's question."
|9 Then went Haman forth that day joyful and glad of heart: but when Haman saw Mordekhai in the king's gate, that he didn't stand up nor move for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordekhai.
|9 Haman went out that day happy and in high spirits. But when he saw Mordecai at the king's gate and observed that he neither rose nor showed fear in his presence, he was filled with rage against Mordecai.
|10 Nevertheless Haman refrained himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched his friends and Zeresh his wife.
|10 Nevertheless, Haman restrained himself and went home. Calling together his friends and Zeresh, his wife,
|11 Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
|11 Haman boasted to them about his vast wealth, his many sons, and all the ways the king had honored him and how he had elevated him above the other nobles and officials.
|12 Haman said moreover, Yes, Ester the queen did let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow also am I invited by her together with the king.
|12 "And that's not all," Haman added. "I'm the only person Queen Esther invited to accompany the king to the banquet she gave. And she has invited me along with the king tomorrow.
|13 Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordekhai the Yehudi sitting at the king's gate.
|13 But all this gives me no satisfaction as long as I see that Jew Mordecai sitting at the king's gate."
|14 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends to him, Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak you to the king that Mordekhai may be hanged thereon: then go you in merrily with the king to the banquet. The thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
|14 His wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, "Have a gallows built, seventy-five feet high, and ask the king in the morning to have Mordecai hanged on it. Then go with the king to the dinner and be happy." This suggestion delighted Haman, and he had the gallows built.

The Endorsement: Playoff Stubble
Nobody starting Game One of the American League Championship Series is actually looking for a date. And while Joe Buck would have you believe that Fox showed this video of Rangers pitcher C.J. Wilson over the weekend because, well, it was a rain delay and nobody really needs to watch any more Family Guy, you've got to admit this guy is a kind of a stud. Or at least he is this month, when we sit, basketball-bereft and a little too Brady-obsessed, as sports fans without style heroes: That guy from the Brewers is channeling Rolly Fingers (in a bad way); some lineman on the Chargers is etching purple lightning-bolts on his face; and Tigers manager Jim Leyland, apparently in more of a standoff with his last pack of Nicorette than the whiskey bottle on his breakfast table, has not changed his underwear since last month.
The entire Rangers roster is busy too busy channeling last year's Giants in a slightly less Sharpie-fied twist on the Great Hockey Playoff Beard. There's another one of their starters getting shit too much shit because "he couldn't grow a beard if he wanted to." Well, I can't either, and so what? A little stubble C.J. Wilson-style goes a longer way to getting a date than any superstition or beat writer's off-day column could muster. And, come October, it's a lot more accepted off the field. So here's to shaving twice a week for a while. But still: Get a haircut. And go Brewers. Matt Sullivan

This shameless young flasher finds a secluded spot in a nature park deep within the city to expose her beautiful parts. She loves public flashing and being naked in the woods just as much as I love seeing naked chicks in the sticks! She starts off by bending forward and allowing her perky handfull of titties to drop out of her dress and tease us all. You'll see that in the gallery above.
Once she gets even more comfortable all of her clothes come off and this public flashing then turns to full naked in the woods with lots of pussy fingering, a juicy crotch and an insatiable urge to have multiple orgasms outdoors! You'll have to visit Cuties Flashing to see the full nudity and explicit adventures of this girl but they also offer many more freebies in their tour that will drive you hot and bothered right away! These girls love to shock potential passer-bys and get wet at the thought of someone wanting to touch and fondle them in the woods while naked.

Little Town NYC unabashedly hearts New York. Of its three restaurants, two are located in iconic Manhattan spots: one in Union Square, the other on Theater District's Restaurant Row. Little Town's fancy for the Empire State shines through on the menu, too, with homestyle dishes such as the Adirondack chicken pesto and an Angus beef burger topped with crispy Berkshire bacon. The Suburb Backyard BBQ platter is piled high with enough buffalo wings, Nathan's hot dogs, and other locally inspired fare to feed a family of four.
Little Town NYC also takes great pride in its beer list, which features more than 100 local brews, including IPAs and amber ales that hail from breweries in Long Island, Ithaca, and Saratoga Springs. At the Restaurant Row location, you can enjoy a pilsner from Coney Island while sitting in a booth constructed from the beach's old wooden boardwalk.
Mario and Anna Abitino emigrated from Naples to the U.S. in 1972. Mario quickly found work in the pizza business, and the couple eventually opened a restaurant of their own: Abitino's Pizza and Italian Kitchen, in Midtown Manhattan. That was more than 20 years ago. Today, the couple and their three sons, Dominick, Mario Jr., and Salvatore, run six New York pizzerias bearing the family name. Each offers an expansive menu of signature pizzas and other Italian entrees, such as gnocchi sorrentino and pasta stuffed with fresh littleneck clams. Their pizzas and calzones use dough made right on the premises, and their tomato sauce is also housemade—with tomatoes from Naples, naturally.
Fine wine shop sine 1994. International selection of wines, great domestic candy and truffles by the pound.
Build A Basket creates thoughtful gift kits to aid expressions of gratitude, love, and confusion as well as celebrations of birthdays, holidays, and special occasions. Benevolent benefactors can assemble a personalized endowment by choosing a container, whether a small, antique-style sea-grass suitcase basket ($15.99) or a large wicker basket ($15.99). From there, gifters can sift through an extensive miscellany of care-package wares from gag gifts ($2.50–$24.95) to indulgent spa products ($2.50–$38.99). Present panniers also come prefashioned for golf devotees ($2.99–$25.99), pretend princesses ($29.99), and Valentines with a red-velvet sweet tooth ($34.99). Hundreds of individualized options await gift givers short on time, inspiration, or basket-weaving prowess.
Fast Eddie's Billiards Cafe takes playing pool and drinking beer to the next level. Sure, the standard domestics are available, but besides the expected lagers and neon signs, Fast Eddie's boasts an impressive menu of craft brews. More than 50 choices include Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA, Allagash White, and Smuttynose Robust porter. Imported beer, wine, and premium liquor are also available to add entertainment to billiards tournaments.
Fragrant roses and fine wine can be key elements of a romantic evening, and both can be found at Wine & Roses, a family-owned boutique in business since 1987. In addition to a full florist's shop and liquor store, patrons can find gourmet foods, gift baskets, stuffed animals, and balloons. Delivery is available throughout Bergen County.

BlizzCon 11 photos, part deux it again
The parade of hi-res orgasm fuel continues with the second day of BlizzCon 11 photos. I can't pretend that I'm all too familiar with Blizzard's repertoire, but I can appreciate like-minded geeks coming together to make any ol' day another Halloween. The extent of my BlizzCon knowledge is that Jay Mohr somehow emcees these things every year -- what's the deal with that, anyway?
Once again, thanks to Nick Hutchins for snapping the photos and giving us some much needed weekend material. Also, if you want to check out who won this year's costume contest, hit the jump for the video.
