Royals aim to carry momentum into White Sox series
KC hopes to continue offensive surge for Vargas in matchup with rivals
Before the Royals took the field Sunday for their series finale with the Orioles, Billy Butler insisted that his team's offense could only get better.
After enduring a rough first three games in which the team totaled two runs, Kansas City broke out for eight runs on 11 hits in Sunday's 8-6 win. The Royals hope to carry that momentum into their three-game series against the White Sox beginning on Monday at Kauffman Stadium.
"We've played our worst baseball we could play offensively, and it's going to come back around," Butler said. "We're going to have a stretch where three or four guys catch fire."
Alex Gordon might be one of those guys after going 4-for-4 with two three-run home runs and a career-high six RBIs on Sunday.
"It felt good," Gordon said. "Our offense needed to come alive. And granted, it's just one day, but it feels good as an offense to finally get something going. We've been needing that and it's a good step."
Some of the Royals' struggles at the plate can be chalked up to bad luck. In the first five games of its homestand, Kansas City struck out only nine times. But the Royals converted just 21 percent of balls in play into hits (compared to a 28.6-percent mark for the season).
"With the positioning they have, and the scouting reports and all the shifts and stuff, you hit a ball right over the bag at second and it's an out," Butler said. "You're going to have some tough luck times, and you're going to have some good luck times."
Sunday was a less pleasant day for Chicago. Before an 8-2 loss to the Astros, the White Sox learned they would be without the services of rookie slugger Jose Abreu for the foreseeable future.
Despite Abreu -- the Majors' leader in home runs -- joining young outfielder Avisail Garcia and starter Chris Sale on the disabled list, general manager Rick Hahn refused to feel sorry for his team's unfortunate luck with injuries.
"There are two ways to look at it," Hahn said. "You can lament the fact that we have lost a large portion of our regulars over the course of the season and concern yourself about what could have been, or you can look at the fact that despite these hard hits, the guys who have been there have stepped up and responded to the opportunity and kept us close."
Monday's series opener features a matchup between the Royals left-hander Jason Vargas and the White Sox right-hander Scott Carroll.
White Sox: Carroll pitching to stay in the Majors
Carroll already has fulfilled a lifelong dream, winning his Major League debut against the Rays on April 27, after 138 Minor League games over eight seasons. But with Sale returning soon from the DL, Carroll knows one of the current starters most likely will be moving back to the Minors.
It's not exactly added pressure, as much as it is reality.
"I try not to focus on that. I'm trying to just do what I can do to help this team," Carroll said. "I'm trying to get better."
Carroll has struggled in his last two starts, allowing 22 hits and 12 earned runs over nine innings. That comes after he yielded just one run over the first 13 1/3 innings pitched in his career. Carroll has done what he can in terms of adjustments.
"Just really making sure my sinker is down in the zone," Carroll said. "With a lot of teams putting a lot of lefties in the lineup against me, I'm having to make sure I'm pitching down in the zone and getting in to lefties.
"I made a few pitches up in the zone [last time out against Oakland]. Other than that fifth inning, I felt like I pitched pretty good. My stuff was pretty good, but I made a few pitches up in the zone. If I can work down in the zone and rely on my sinker, make them hit it and put it into play, I'll be just fine."
Royals: Vargas in search of more success
Vargas has built a career as a guy who succeeds in pitching to contact and uses his defense and cavernous home stadiums.
But in his last outing, Vargas broke that mold. The lefty recorded a season-high eight strikeouts in a 3-2 win over the Rockies on Wednesday. His last game with at least eight strikeouts came on Sept. 8, 2013, when he was a member of the Los Angeles Angels.
Vargas will be facing a White Sox lineup that ranks first in the Majors with 409 strikeouts.

Within hours several dozen Realtors chimed in.
"We are seeing a new wave of FSBO signs in 2013. With the return of the strong seller's market, it's just a fact. It's just something new to work with again, when they had virtually disappeared in the past few years," agreed Realtor Michelle Francis of Buckhead Atlanta.
"FSBO's have made a comeback here in the Phoenix metro area, especially in the lower priced home market. When homes were bought at the bottom of the market and now want to be sold, some people can only sell for a small margin. Our market has not recovered in some areas enough to pay all the real estate costs for the seller. Therefore, he does a FSBO," reports Associate Broker Barb Merrill.
"Bryan, I haven't started seeing lots of them yet, but I expect to!" said Connie Harvey, a Nashville Realtor.
"It is much easier to sell a home on your own now…at one time Realtors pre-qualified the buyer now banks give them a letter of prequalification….with homes selling fast you can anticipate more and more FSBOs Of course once the negotiating starts the sellers lose their stomach for it in many cases, " said Edward Gilmartin of Boston Homes.
"Had a FSBO call me today saying he was using the comps I GAVE HIM and go it alone. But.. Understand he would pay me 3% if I brought him a buyer. Imagine that……" said John McCormack of Boston.
Realtors report their strongest defense against sellers who go it alone are legal requirements that sellers disclose problems with their homes in writing or risk liability. "The number one thing sellers forget to do is provide proper disclosures. Even with all the advice out there, it's unlikely a seller will prepare the documents to cover all the disclosures necessary. They might even be hiding something. This is one of many reasons why you need an agent," said one. " If you get sued for not disclosing something, you're likely to lose out on any savings you might have achieved. It's not worth the risk," agreed another.
For sale by owner transactions, or FSBSs, reached an all-time low of 9 percent last year and in more than half of those, the seller already knew the buyer so a great deal of marketing was not necessary. In the seven year buyer's market since the real estate crash in 2007, FSBOs have dropped like a rock, from a high of 14 percent of all transactions in 2004. Now however, reports from the across the nation suggest that there may be more FSBO yards displayed this spring buying season than in nearly a decade.
One way sellers can save on commissions today is to use a flat fee broker, who charges by the service provided rather than a percentage of the transaction.
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), more sellers are choosing to discounted agent services. The percentage of homes sold on a flat-fee basis rather than a commission grew from one to three percent. For the past few years, 20 percent of homes were sold by agencies that provided limited services such as listing on the MLS. The growth in flat-fee listings is coming from sellers need to go through brokers who are members of multiple listing services to get listed, but want to save on commissions by doing their own marketing.
On RealtyTrac last week, OurBroker Columnist Peter Miller argues that brokers are more important now than ever, even for the buy side of a transaction.
"When I first started in real estate, do-it-yourself transactions actually made some sense. Contract agreements ran one or two pages and real estate brokers did not have much training beyond what a reasonably informed member of the public might have. In fact, when I first began looking into real estate, I found it was possible to get a six-month temporary brokerage license, meaning you could buy and sell property for others with no training and no testing at all.
"Long ago the idea of buying and selling without a broker was both attractive and doable. That's just not the recommendation I would make today. I now tell owners to list houses with successful professionals and I tell purchasers to find an experienced buyer broker as well as a good home inspector. With something as important as a home purchase getting such help in today's world simply makes sense," he wrote.

Funding Represents a Five-fold Increase from Previous Year
Washington, D.C. – Long-time Special Olympics supporter the Walmart Foundation has awarded $500,000 to Special Olympics in order to maintain the Healthy Athletes® initiatives run by its state Programs across the U.S., as well as enhance the quality and capacity of health-related events. Designed to help Programs purchase health equipment and provide products like hearing aids and toothbrushes to athletes free of charge, these "relief grants" will allow Special Olympics to improve the health of thousands of people with intellectual disabilities.
"After hearing about the program, I decided I needed to lose weight and get healthy. I began eating healthy, exercising, and lost 56 pounds. Because of Walmart's generosity, athletes like me will have the opportunity to receive free health screenings," said Raymee Haas, a Special Olympics athlete from Fort Worth, Texas.
Following the economic recession, many U.S. Programs were forced to downsize both staff and services, so the support offered by the Walmart Foundation comes at a crucial time for Special Olympics. Last year, Walmart provided $100,000 in relief funding. Based on the success of Healthy Athletes in 2010, the amount was increased dramatically for 2011.
"The Walmart Foundation is committed to improving the lives of people with disabilities," said Margaret McKenna, president of the Walmart Foundation. "Our recent grant to Special Olympics International reinforces that commitment by supporting the Healthy Athletes Program and the important screenings the program provides."
The need for the Healthy Athletes program is great. People with intellectual disabilities have a greater chance of developing multiple, preventable health conditions.
"Many of our athletes do not have health insurance, and many have lost their jobs. Others arrive at the Healthy Athletes venue with their sneaker soles falling off or their eyeglasses duct-taped together. For many of our participants, this is their first visit to a doctor in years," said Special Olympics Washington Chairperson Beth Wojick.
In addition to this recent funding, the Walmart Foundation has been an active supporter of Special Olympics at the state and local level, where the vast majority of health screenings are offered to athletes, since 2008. The Foundation also provided $1.6 million in funding to the 2009 Special Olympics World Winter Games in Boise, Idaho, where more than 2,000 athletes from over 90 countries around the world were screened in 6 disciplines through the Healthy Athletes program.
"We are extremely pleased to continue and expand our partnership with the Walmart Foundation in this way," said Dr. Timothy Shriver, Chairman and CEO of Special Olympics. "Without our relationships with good corporate citizens like Walmart, our programs would be unable to provide the health services our athletes desperately need."
Officially launched in 1997, the Special Olympics Healthy Athletes program has provided more than 1 million free health screenings and education to athletes in seven areas – vision, hearing, dental, podiatry, physical therapy, sport physicals and healthy habits. Offered in more than 100 countries, Healthy Athletes has made Special Olympics the largest global public health organization dedicated to serving people with intellectual disabilities.
About Special Olympics:Special Olympics is an international non-profit organization that changes lives by encouraging and empowering people with intellectual disabilities, promoting acceptance for all, and fostering communities of understanding and respect worldwide. Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the Special Olympics movement has grown from a few hundred athletes to nearly 3.5 million athletes in over 170 countries in all regions of the world, providing year-round sports training, athletic competition health screenings, and other related programs. Special Olympics now takes place every day, changing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities in all regions of the world and in community playgrounds and ball fields in every small neighborhood's backyard. Special Olympics provides people with intellectual disabilities continuing opportunities to realize their potential, develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and experience joy and friendship.

About Philanthropy at Walmart:Walmart and the Walmart Foundation are proud to support the charitable causes that are important to customers and associates in their own neighborhoods. The Walmart Foundation funds initiatives focused on education, workforce development, economic opportunity, environmental sustainability, and health and wellness. From Feb. 1, 2009 through Jan. 31, 2010, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation gave more than $512 million in cash and in-kind gifts globally, $467 million of which was donated in the U.S. To learn more, visit www.walmartfoundation.org

♠ DreaM Stockings ♠ Knee Highs ♠ Cable Knit ♠ Ribbed ♠ Made in the USA ♠ Mother's Day Favorites ♠ Kilt Socks ♠ Winter ♠ Autumn ♠ Cotton ♠ Solid ♠ Burning Man ♠ Eco Friendly
Great for men and women - these make a fantastic kilt sock and are super-cute with sock garters (which will help them stay up). They can be worn comfortably at the knees, including a nice cuff. Shorter legs might even be able to wear them over the knees. Made in the USA.
One unisex foot size: fits best on women's US shoe size 7- 11 and men's US shoe sizes 5-9. Smaller feet could wash these in hot water and run them through the dryer and they should shrink just a bit. Cuffs stretch to about 18 inches, body stretches to about 20 inches. Approximately 18 inches long from heel to top, unstretched.
*Currently some colors are running narrow, which we hope to fix in the next shipment. The affected varieties are Cornflower, Navy, Plum, & Red. The tops stretch to about 15 inches, the body stretches to about 14 inches. Approximately 23 inches from heel to top, unstretched.
Additional Info: These do not stay up perfectly on their own but do look cute a little slouched down or worn over tights. If you use sock garters they will stay up really well.
Fiber Content: 80% recycled cotton, 15% acrylic blend, with 5% Lycra® for stretch.
Machine or hand wash in cold to cool water, tumble dry low or hang dry.
Label: DreaM Stockings
Would these fit as cuffed knee socks for a 22-inch calf? Thanks!
Good middle of the night! I don't suppose there is any chance these socks would fit a US size 5 foot? I think they are absolutely lovely, but I'm afraid my pixie-sized feet would swim in them. Thanks!
Will you be bringing back the rust-colored diamond rib socks?
When will your navy and hunter green knee socks be back in stock?
My stuff I ordered from Sock Dreams came in, and I am LOVING IT!!!! Today has been super slow but right now, I feel amazing! ^o^

i think debian 6 is to old. debian 7 will support this.
debian 6 is mostly a "ubuntu 10.04 " or older. maybe you check the functionality with an old Ubuntu version.
i my exoerience the radeon driver is no fun with old linux versions like debian6
i use kubuntu 12.04 right now with oibaf ppa.
try to use a newer linux. (i also wait for debian 7)

Yeah, I think World of Goo was the first game to actually work with the new 6xx/7xx 3D driver.
I was so happy that a Real Game ran that I even bought a copy of WOG.
It works perfect here on my Ubuntu/HD 2600 with radeon driver.
While we like the flexibilty and local adaptability of the Icons its too early for open source. It would be too easy to miss the fundamental values of GMS.

Buneary (Japanese: ミミロル Mimiroru) is a Normal-type Pokémon. To hatch a Buneary egg, one has to walk 5,355 steps, or 21 egg cycles.
Buneary appears to be a brown bunny with yellowish-goldish fluffs on its ears. It has pink undersides on its ears. Buneary also has a pink triangular-shaped nose. It also has goldish-yellowish fluff starting from its foot to its stomach on where its brown parts begin. Buneary's body is bit scrawny, and so are its arms that has three fingers on each hand. Its yellowish-gold colored feet has three toes, and large pink paw pads on the undersides. Buneary also has a brown sphere-shaped cottontail that sticks out the fluff that covers its lower body.
Special Abilities
Buneary has the abilities Run Away and Klutz along with the hidden ability Limber. Run Away allows Buneary to flee from any wild Pokémon battle without any fail, while Klutz prevents Buneary from using its held items. Limber prevents Buneary from being paralyzed.
In Anime
- Main article: Dawn's Buneary
In the anime, Dawn owns a female Buneary capable of using Ice Beam and Bounce. Dawn used Buneary in many of her contests through Sinnoh and even made an outfit for Buneary, further highlighting its cute appearance. Buneary also appears to have a crush on Ash's Pikachu, often embarrassing him.
Buneary evolves into Lopunny when leveled up with high friendship.

Alcohol does many things to the human body. First and the most important thing is that it is designed to get you feeling good and drunk as heck. That is the main purpose in my opinion, and it does a great job at it.
Many people that drink alcohol can handle them self in a sense that they know when it is time to stop drinking alcohol and then there are those, such as myself, that don't know when enough is enough. When we start out experimenting with drinking alcohol many of us don't realize if we are not careful this fun time drinking can turn into an addiction. Do you know what your addiction is doing to you? I bet not, for the simple reason, this addiction to alcohol has been slowly creeping up on you and now you can't figure out why in the world must you have alcohol every single day of your life. Many of us cannot live without this harmful poison in their bodies. We would start to go crazy and feeling on edge, nervous, shaky and the whole nine yards due to the absence of this poison we call alcohol not in your bodies.
Many people live, breathe, sleep with alcohol continuously on their minds. I have the right to say this because the minute I would wake, of course after drinking all night, my first thoughts were not, " I wonder how my day will be today." "I wonder if I will be productive today." No, the first thing I thought of was, "when is it time to have my first beer." How pitiful is that I might ask you? I am sure many people that have an addiction to alcohol the same and some might even crack open a can of beer or take a shot of booze minutes after they wake up to start their day and get their head out of the clouds from the night before drinking alcohol.
When you start to think to yourself, what is this addiction I have doing to my life and what is it doing to my family and friends? None of us that are addicted to alcohol ever for a moment think about the damage we are doing to our self and the hurt and pain we are causing to others, such as you family, spouse, and your children.

The kickass survival site for anyone who's ever been lied to, cheated on and left for dead.

Who Do You Tell When Your Husband Cheats?
One comment made by Rochette struck me. She noted how she stayed away from the crowds and didn't look at their faces because she didn't want their "sad eyes."
I know exactly how she feels.
When you're barely holding it together, when you're living your life moment by moment, unsure how you're going to function, those "sad eyes" can make you crumble.
For exactly that reason, after D-Day, I chose not to tell most people in my immediate circle. Hours after the news, I arrived at my children's school to pick them up. A friend looked at my quizzically and asked if I was okay. I said I was. "A little tired...," I admitted. And that was it.
The temptation to tell was huge. I wanted the world to witness my pain, to hold me when I cried, to tell me my husband was a cheating bastard...
Or did I?
The truth is I didn't want to hear other people's opinions of my husband, my marriage or me. I didn't want their advice. I didn't even want to hear their own stories of pain. Not at that point.
And I knew the time would come when I wouldn't want their sad eyes following me around. When I would have moved forward and wouldn't want their eyes constantly reminding me where I'd been.
For me, it was the right choice. A few close friends know, though most of them live far away from me so I only see them occasionally. None of my "daily" friends know...and I'm glad. I get to be "normal" with them. And though I went through a stage where I felt like I had a mask on, I got through it and am glad I kept it on.
Getting over betrayal is a step-by-step process. What is a good choice one day mightn't be the next. We can change our minds. We can adjust our thinking.
What about you? Who did you tell?
32 comments:
I told only certain select people. My sister is my best friend...and the day I found out about the affair, she was flying in for a visit. I could NOT keep that from her. I would have told her anyway, but her coming into town and seeing her and having her to talk to in person and hug, I really needed that.
I told only two other very close friends. Other people do not know. No one at our church knows. My parents will hopefully never know. He told his younger brother himself; his two sisters do not know. Other than our therapist, that is it.
I felt like shouting it out to the world, I felt like putting on my facebook status "My husband is a cheating bastard!". I agree, the temptation to tell is HUGE!! But I had to tell myself, if I really want to stay with him and try to work on our marriage, do I really want everyone to know?
Over Thanksgiving we went to my in-laws house and it was only a few weeks after D-Day. People could tell I was not myself and asked my husband if I was okay. Just told everyone I wasn't feeling well. I thought "if you only knew"...That sense of "if you only knew..." hasn't really diminished for me. It generally emerges when I'm feeling unappreciated or undervalued. It's like I want Brownie points for keeping it together and being able to fool everyone... I want to scream, See what I was capable of? Aren't I amazing? Then, of course, the feeling passes and I realize that what I might gain in the short term would be a detriment in the long term.
I sympathize with women like Elin Nordegren and Elizabeth Edwards who will always be viewed by the world through the lens of betrayal. I hope the don't define themselves that way...- liontamer67March 9, 2010 at 7:02 PM
I called his parents when my world imploded in July 2007. I didn't tell my family till January 2009 when he had a slip (he is a professionally diagnosed sex addict). I found out my uncle was having an affair. I sent out an email and threw everyone under the bus that had ever cheated, father (although I left my mom out I think), 2 of my sister in laws (with 2 of my brothers), husband, etc. I was f'en angry!
ReplyDelete The man I'm with is not my husband (he admitted to dragging his feet), but we live together and have a daughter together. He denies having physically cheated, but the texts I've seen make me wonder. If he hasn't cheated he has come awfully close. We broke up over this before and after about two years back together the text messages have started again.
This time I could not tell my so-called best friends. I don't know why, but it seems like all they have ever done is criticize me over every little thing. One of my friends even told me she didn't think my man and I were a good match and she doubted we would last. She said that when things were going well! Now, she's decided to take a break from our friendship, but that's a different story.
Anyway. I found myself confiding to one of my closest work friends as well as a few other co-workers. They've all said the same thing. "Only you can decide what's right for you. Don't make any rash decisions that you may regret later." I've never had so much support from so few people.
My man's family found out of course. His mom doesn't like me, but she is pissed at what he did. One of his sisters even messaged the girl on facebook and told her off.
My parents, however, are not aware of the current events. They are already unhappy that he allows his mother to treat me the way she does. I guess I don't want there to be any more bad feelings between them if I do decide to stay with him. It's been over a week and I still don't know what to do.Scarlette,
Unfortunately, your friends are right. Only you can decide. It would be so much easier if some wise soul would run our lives for us, wouldn't it?
However, you've got some things to consider. For starters, what is your partner saying about this? Is he remorseful? Is he answering any/all questions? Does he show signs of recognizing how much pain he's caused and any indication that he wants to make amends?
If not, what are your reasons for staying? If he's not willing to acknowledge the pain he's caused -- whether the affair was physical or not, betrayal is excruciating and a violation of trust -- then it's virtually impossible to rebuild a relationship. Without trust, there is no intimacy. With no intimacy, there really isn't a relationship.
So that's where I would start. By demanding that he acknowledge what he's done and answer any and all questions you have honestly. If your gut tells you he's lying, my advice would be to trust your gut.
It might make sense to ask him to leave...at least for a while so you can sort your thoughts out. His loyalty should be to you...not to anyone else except also your child. If it's not, then it's time to seriously reconsider the value of your relationship.
You deserve to be treated with respect...and that starts with treating yourself with respect.
Good luck. Feel free to continue to post. I hope others will offer up their thoughts and advice too. We can learn a lot from each other -- and support each other.This is something I seriously struggled with and on bad days, still kinda do. I told a couple close friends who I knew wouldn't be judgmental, but it's still hard to even talk to them because they don't truly understand. My family will never know. My family is the definition of judgmental. I've come so close to sitting his mom and sister down and talking to them, though, his family has him up on a pedestal and that's always annoyed me, especially now and sometimes it annoys me to the point that I almost feel its important for them to know. But I haven't. My extreme anxiety has caused problems with a few members of my family, who I refuse to tell. So I have to just suck it up and apologize for being "rude" and "bitchy", when really its the anxiety controlling me. I am so very grateful that I found my therapist. She is truly amazing. The first one I was seeing was very not amazing and not helpful in the least.....a guy, go figure.
Whether or not your friends really understand, they know you're in pain and simply being with you and offering you their strength and compassion can be enormously healing.
Like you, I've been sooo tempted to tell my husband's family. They're incredibly judgemental of others and tend to feel superior to everyone (though I've no doubt it masks HUGE insecurity)...and I've wanted to wipe their smug looks off their faces.
But...I know that their potential rejection of my husband would make any satisfaction short-lived. So I keep my mouth shut.
I don't know, it seems to me that keeping silent about such a serious offense esp when the cheater may have used family and friends to cheat, smacks of collusion. My main priority right now is to heal myself, not worry about him as he clearly didn't worry about me or our relationship while engaging in his affair, which btw displayed monumental selfishishness and narcissisism. And if that entails speaking to close friends, family, even not so close friends, so be it. If he is truly remorseful he'll deal with the fallout on the situation that he caused and if he won't or can't, then he is not the man I thought he was and I deserve better.
It also seems to me that the onus for repairing the relationship should be the betrayers and he should do Whatever It Takes to resolve it.RepliesI agree in theory...but in my experience, a few people I confided in very early after finding out only compounded my pain by being a bit insensitive. Comments from "well, I wouldn't stay with him..." didn't exactly move me further along the path to healing. They made me defensive and feel like a doormat.
So I do think it's important to consider who you tell in order to protect yourself from further hurt.
I told 4 of my closest friends, but they all live in different towns. Communication with them is hard as they all have busy lives and a couple of them have not so good marriages themselves. But they all have encouraged me to rebuild my marriage. 36 years of marriage all blown to bits in an instant. It's been 8 months since D day. My husband is very remorseful, but I am still so very angry. I feel like I am the one driven to read everything I can find on the subject and find help to be able to forgive. Then I wonder if I even really want to stay....then I think I couldn't leave if I wanted to. And I DO love him....but to have sexual relations again with him?? That is so hard... I was experiencing severe health challenges when he stepped out...not just once over the last 6 years, but 3 different times. How do I stay with a man that I still love and I believe he does love me, when he turned his back on me when he was suppose to be committed in 'sickness' and in health. I want HIM to be doing whatever it takes to rebuild our marriage, but he says he feels like he doesn't have any rights left to do that and he doesn't know how. He has taken responsibility, but he has not taken LEADERSHIP in the repair department. We are in counseling I should mention. We are also reading the book "Not Just Friends" together. However he says all that book does is bring back to the forefront everything he is trying so hard to forget. I am frustrated.
I'm so sorry for your health issues and your husband's betrayal. Just when you needed his support, he was unable to be there for you, which I'm sure feels like a double betrayal.
I want to caution, however, against something that I think so many of us do...but that doesn't really help us. You say, for example, that 36 years of marriage is "all blown to bits". And I'm going to ask...is that true? Or is it possible that, within those 36 years, there's still much that's intact. Your love for each other perhaps? Though there's some self-righteous satisfaction in dramatic pronouncements, they don't really put us in a place where we can start rebuilding. Rather they keep us stuck in the injury.
I'm amazed, though I've heard it often enough that I shouldn't be any more, at how many men stray when their wives are dealing with crises. Whether it's a high-needs child, an ailing parent, her own illness, a woman's crisis seems to trigger some sort of panic/crisis in many men. And I would guess that it's frequently men who are unable to understand/express just how frightened or abandoned they feel. I'm wondering if that's the case in your marriage. Not that his inability to handle his emotions gives him any right to have an affair, just that it gives you and him a starting point for understanding.
As long as we think of an affair as the cruel act of a total narcissist, we make it all but impossible to rebuild our marriages on a solid foundation. However, if we're able to step back and view not the ACT but the husband with some compassion, we're often able to be more compassionate to ourselves too and stop seeing ourselves as some dupe who was cheated on.
Your husband screwed up, no question. He made a tragic mistake. And it's critical that he acknowledge that mistake...not just with a perfunctory I'm sorry, but to really examine what thought processes allowed him to go down that road. What stories was he telling himself (she's not available to me anymore, she's consumed with her own problems, I've been a good husband for XX years, I deserve this, blah blah blah) that gave him permission to step outside his own moral code? Without that knowledge and mutual compassion/understanding for the roles EACH of us play when something like happened (note I'm not saying blame...because I maintain it's not the wife's FAULT), this will continue to be like the infamous nuke button that either of you can threaten to push any time you're angry, frustrated, disappointed. You need to acknowledge that the button is there and agree that you'll disable it but only when each side agrees that what happened needs to be discussed and dissected until it loses its power.
This is as terrifying for your husband as it is necessary. And it's hard for us to recognize that behind that stubborn refusal to deal with it openly is shame and guilt so profound that they fear it'll swallow them whole. It would be so much EASIER they believe, to just never speak of it again and simply pick up where you left off. Except that it isn't easier, nor is it healthy.
Ignoring cancer doesn't make it go away though we wish it would. We have to look the demon in the eye and fight it with everything we've got. Which means understanding where it came from, where it might appear again...and be ready for it.
You two need to get on the same team on this. He owes you more than simply a promise that it'll never happen again. You have been traumatized, not only by his affairs but dealing with illness alone when you needed him. He needs to recognize the depth of your pain...and you need to recognize the depth of his. You're both dealing with it...and your marriage would be so much better served if you dealt with it together. Thirty-six years is worth fighting for.

I just found out that my husband of 10yrs (who starting working out of town recently) has signed up for two "sex hook up with locals" website. I left him and am filing for divorce. I wonder how long he has been doing this? Yes, I love him and will miss the hell out of the bastard, but I am worth so much more. It's going to be hard to start over once I get thru the healing process.

My husband just admitted to me TODAY that he has cheated on me on 3 separate occasions in the past. He broke down in tears and spelt his guts. Of course I was in shock and held back tears as long as I could. We have been on a rocky road for a while and although I haven't been showing much affection I never thought he would cheat. I trusted him completely. It will be 4 years this August that we have been married but we've been together for 9 years. I want to talk to someone but I am thinking carefully about the one person I can spill my guts to. I have two best friends and one who happens to live far away, who I may tell. I love him and I know he loves me I'm just confused and upset on how he could do it. I don't want to tell family because if we work through it everyone else may not be as forgiving as I may be. I'm 29 and he is 32.

I found a screen shot of my husband sexting with a woman. I made him provide passwords to facebook and e-mail accounts, he was linked to several dating and hook up sites. I made him call our pastor and we are in counseling. In addition he will be getting some help as this he is addicted to this behavior. He is not allowed access to a computer. I have no one to tell. Everyone I know would blab. This is very difficult.
ReplyDeleteRepliesHi Anonymous,
I'm sorry you need to be here...but glad you found us.
It's a horrible thing to discover...and harder still when you feel you have to keep his secret. Is there no-one in your life you can trust? A mom/sister/friend? We're here, of course. And we do know what you're going through. But I think a real-life person is important -- even a counsellor can offer up compassion and strength when you lack both.
I'm glad you're both in counselling. That can go a long way toward helping you understand that your husband's behaviour had nothing to do with you. The problem is his.

I just found out that my wife of almost 11 years has been cheating with two different coworkers of hers, one female, one male. I also discovered dozens of late night texts to a couple of numbers belonging to other men. This is the third time she's cheated on me and been found out, though I am now certain there have been even more incidents. I told her to move out of our home immediately. We have an 11 year old daughter who knows nothing yet, but who we will need to tell soon that her parents are breaking up. I am very confused. I'm incredibly angry at my wife, and simultaneously feel horribly guilty. I have never cheated on her, I've stuck by her through mental illness, the aforementioned cheating (during which she also caught herpes), huge amounts of credit card debt she ran up, and a horrible amount of manipulative and selfish behavior. Since telling her to leave, I have heard from no one on her side of the family, and am busy keeping my daughter occupied. My family all live in another country, so I feel like I have no one to turn to at this point for support. Weirdly, what I'm fretting over most right now is how to tell my mother. She knows nothing about the previous events in our marriage, and lives in the UK (I am in Texas). Do I call her? Email? I have no idea. I really don't want to talk about it, but feel like the least I should do is let my mother know. Any advice?
ReplyDeleteRepliesI'm so sorry. That's a LOT to handle. For what it's worth, I think you have little choice but to remove your wife from you life until she can treat you (and yourself) respectfully and responsibly. And though your daughter will be confused and hurt, the more you can assure her that she's loved (even by those whose love doesn't seem to measure up) the better she'll do. As my own mother said, people love us the best they can, but sometimes their best isn't so good because they're having trouble loving themselves.
I would think you'll also need some help processing what you've endured through all this. If you don't already have a counsellor, I hope you'll find one. You need to talk about this in order to ensure you don't drag the baggage of it along with you.
Re. how to tell your mom: How do you usually communicate with her? I think whatever form that is (phone, e-mail) could work. The thing with written communication though, is that it can sometimes sound terse when it's not. So perhaps a short phone call with a "wanted you to know that I'm fine but..." might be the way to go. It would be wonderful too if your mom could provide emotional support for your daughter. I was a kid with a mom with mental illness and the general belief is that if we were better kids (better behaved, smarter, prettier, whatever), our mothers would be able to love us better. So anything you can do to make sure she realizes this is her mom's problem and that it likely existed long before your daughter was born, the better. Still hard...

My husband of 16 years has cheated on me several times throughout our marriage. We have been separated for 2 months because of an affair that I recently busted him through emails he had expressing his love with a coworker. I confronted him before I found the emails, but he did deny it. The last affair lasted over a year,and I stayed with him,we have been rebuilding for two years after, because we have 4 children,and we do love eachother. I am 38 and he is 40 . He doesn't want me to file for divorce,but he hasn't worked hard to show me that he wants me to stay. I didn't tell his Mom about the devistating affair before,but I want to lay it all out so that it will not cause problems between the relationship we have,and with her and my children, when I divorce him. He would lie to her to save face. I have not talked to her much since the last affair, because my Husband asked me not to tell her. He acts like he is such a Man of God to his family. His Sister knew about the last affair. I'm tired of supporting the lies that he portray. I don't want me telling her to backfire.What should I do?
ReplyDeleteRepliesYou say you're tired of supporting his lies? Then why are you? My guess is that, somewhere in your 16 year marriage, you learned that supporting his lies was easier (less exhausting, perhaps?) than calling him on them. But by allowing him to dictate your integrity, you've betrayed yourself, which is far worse than being betrayed by someone else.
It sounds as if you're better off without this guy, something you seem to have figured out. Get clear with yourself on what you refuse to lie about any longer. Not lying doesn't have to mean telling everybody everything. It simply means that you will no longer pretend to be one thing, while actively being another.
Expect pushback. People will challenge this new you because they're accustomed to you doing what they want you to do and supporting their pretend lives. People won't always want to hear the truth -- there's that whole "kill the messenger" thing. But don't back down. Expect their anger, their whining, their threats. Stand firm. As long as you're not intentionally hurting anyone -- but rather refusing to stand in the way of the consequences they've created as a result of their own behaviour -- then you have nothing to be uncomfortable about.
As for his sister and his mother, you can't control how they respond to news that their brother/son is a cheater. So don't bother trying. He created the situation when he chose to cheat. They might blame you (might be more comfortable to them than blaming him) but no matter. You know what happened. Don't get sucked into their confusing drama. Same with your kids. They don't need to know the whole story…it can be too much for them (depending on age) to understand. That's not lying, it's protecting them and giving them permission to love their imperfect father.
This won't "backfire" if you're honest and respectful. Doesn't mean people won't get mad at you. Doesn't mean they won't try and twist things. But as long as you don't betray yourself, you'll be fine. Drama will burn itself out.
Thank you Elle,
Your wise advice was very helpful and encouraging. I have made a decision to love and honor myself, and everything has changed in my life. Its not easy but I am taking one day at a time!- AnonymousJanuary 15, 2014 at 1:27 PM
Hi there,
I found out that my partner cheated on me about 2 months ago and I was so hurt and angry that I posted it on Facebook and told most of my friends what he did. they have been very supportive of me but are also giving me advise and telling me what they think I should do. now that the dust has settled a bit I think that I want to work on the relationship but I have realised now that I have made it so much harder for myself by telling so many people. any advice on how to deal or cope with this??RepliesI'm so sorry. I just saw this post.
I suspect you've probably answered your own question. All you can do, going forward, is live honestly in your own decision. You could tell people that you've had time to consider what's next and hope that they can support you in your decision. It's not helpful to you to have people cut you off because of your husband's cheating. However, plenty of people have a really hard time with this.
In any case, I hope you've found support in your life and that your recovery is going well.

It is hard once you put it out there to take it back, I have decided to get counselling as my husband also cheated 2 years ago and a child came out of this we went through hard times and i chose to stay . But recently i see and feel the same things coming bac and when i ask he gives me attitude i.e i saw a message on his phone from another girl saying she is waiting for him and she can not trust him ??? I love my self and want to treat myself as a priority how do i stop feeling the love i feel for him though ???
decision still not made on how to proceedRepliesAnon,
You can't "stop feeling the love" for him but you can nonetheless draw very clear lines around what you will and will NOT tolerate, such as a relationship with another woman that might prompt such a message. There's clearly something happening that shouldn't be happening and, as his wife, you have a right to know what it is.
If your husband learned anything from what you went through, it's that there are many ways to deal with issues in life and in a marriage. Cheating is not one of them.
Tell him clearly and firmly that you need access to all his communication devices and an explanation for the message. You can then determine what you want to do about it. Take the time to get clear on what's next for you. But don't use your "love" for him as an excuse to disrespect yourself.
I'm sad to join this "club" so to speak. Newly married and just found out he visited one of those massage parlors and had a ...well you know. I have a daughter who is very attached to him but for me it's over. I never thought he would do this. Makes you wonder why men like this get married to begin with. Telling my daughter that we are divorcing will be the hardest telling my parents just as hard...
ReplyDeleteI'm sad to join this club today too :(
My fiance and I have been together 7 years and have a 5 year old daughter. Just found out last night that within the last 2 months he's sent 175 emails with dick pics to girls with craigslist ads. He also has Facebook message with 2 girls that he actually knows (and I know one of them, she's married and a friend of a friend) I confronted him, he admitted to everything and is taking responsibility. He has been adamant that he has not met up with a single one of them and has not slept with anyone since we've been together. How does he expect me to trust him?! He is saying he loves me more than anything, will do anything to make it work, wants to go to counselling. I am just so disgusted and I feel like I don't even know who he is. I so badly want to tell someone, especially my mom, but I know everyone is just going to tell me to leave him. If I do decide to work things out with him, I don't want everyone to hate him for what he's done to me. I feel like I just need someone to talk to. I don't even know if I want to work things out, I told him straight up, if we did not have our daughter, I would be out the door without a second thought. I know I can't stay just for our daughter, but I so badly want to keep our family together :(RepliesEmily,
I'm so sorry for what you're going through.
He can't expect you to trust him. That comes only with time, transparency and a commitment to ALWAYS being/doing what he says he is. Even little white lies can destroy slowly rebuilt trust.
Since he's saying he'll do anything, then start asking for what you need. At the least he should be in counselling to figure out what the hell he was thinking -- why he was willing to risk his marriage and family.
And I know how lonely it can feel. I did tell my mother -- and she was enormously compassionate. She understood addiction. My father too -- told my husband that everyone is entitled to screw up once. But only an idiot does it again. Their compassion meant a lot to my husband and, I suspect, helped him stay "clean". So consider whether your mother can support you in this...or if you'll simply end up having to defend your choice. You need support, not antagonism.
I would also urge you to get support for yourself in the form of therapy. Betrayal is devastating and triggers all sorts of emotions that we can use help processing. It might also give you a deeper understanding of his behaviour and how it had nothing to do with you.
ElleElle, Thank you so much for replying, it means so much to know I'm not alone. Yes, I am going to see a therapist by myself first before I consider going with him. I asked him to find somewhere else to stay while I process all of this information. I don't think I'm going to tell anyone for now. A few years ago he moved out for a month because he was not happy and my family hated him and took a long time to forgive him. I don't need that added stress of that on top of what I already have.
Hopefully therapy will help me figure out everything running through my head, hoping I can make an appointment and get in soon.
Now my other dilemma is if I should tell the husband of the woman he was messaging. I think he has a right to know what his wife is doing.. But is it my business? I would want to know if I was in his situation
Thanks again!!
My fiance and I have been together almost 3 years. He had an affair a year ago that lasted for months. It was the woman (his coworker) who ended up telling me. He had told her that he told me months ago (he did not) but she had to "clear her conscious"... It was the most humiliating moment for me, to comfort her and not know why she was so upset. She told me it lasted 7 months, every time I was out of town. She said it happened in our bed, she slept in my spot. She said there were pregnancy scares and STD scares. She showed me texts from him from just the last few weeks of him saying "love you" and "xoxo" and being extremely flirty. When I confronted him, he owned up to it, but scaled it back drastically, saying it was not as often as I thought. He said there was a lot missing from the text messages (she sent me the screenshots) and she had me seeing only what she wanted me to see. This is the hardest time of my life, I cry every day and if I don't keep myself distracted all I do it picture it in my head. I love him and hate him at the same time. I cannot believe he would do this to me. We are suppose to get married next year, but I have no idea what to do. We are going to start going to counseling, so I'm hopeful that that will help. I told our two mutual friends, but I feel so alone. I just know that whatever decision I make has to be after I've tried everything I could. I have to know that I fought for us, no matter how angry, hurt, and heartbroken I am.

The gang has finally arrived to Petalburg City. They see Norman became more famous than before, so Ash is more confident to battle him. Max is sceptical since his father is powerful, but Ash reminds him he's powerful too, so he goes to Pokémon Center to get his Pokémon checked up. May, Max and Brock greet Kenny. Kenny says that their father is not at home right now. Kenny mentions that some problem is with Norman, but is stopped when Caroline reunites with her children. Max is happy to have mom's food to eat again.
Ash goes to the Pokémon Center, seeing Nurse Joy and Norman talking. Ash greets Norman and wants a battle, so Norman accepts. Norman and Nurse Joy seem to have a secret, making Ash confused. Meowth led Team Rocket to Norman's greenhouse, so they are going to steal something while "the twirps battle Norman". Meanwhile, Brock, Max and May have lunch, so Max tells of their adventures. Max asks when is dad coming, but Caroline states he won't this day. May sates she caught a Beautifly, but Kenny begins to act nervous. When everyone mentions Beautifly, Caroline gets angrier and upset. When her children ask what's wrong, she just says she's working out.
Kenny goes to the Greenhouse, with May, Max and Brock following him. Before Kenny says something, Max spots a Vigoroth - Norman keeps his Pokémon inside. Max greets Vigoroth. May mentions to Brock they never got to watch the Gym fights, as it may have distracted the challengers. Max spots a Slackoff, even if Kenny wants to say something. Max spots a Slaking as well. Kenny finally says - there is something between Caroline and Norman. Every day Norman visits the Pokémon Center while Caroline and Norman yell. Every time Caroline hears Beautifly, she gets upset. Ash comes, finding them.
Team Rocket see the gang talking , so Meowth plans to steal Slackoff, Vigororth and Slaking. Vigoroth would hug the boss, and would spend time with Slackoff and Slaking and Team Rocket would be awarded. Ash says he saw Norman with Nurse Joy, helping her with Pokémon. The gang goes away to help, but Vigoroth falls on Ash. Norman greets his children. Brock goes to have a talk with Norman, but is full of love when he sees Nurse Joy. Team Rocket wander and go through a door. They spot something unusual, but Jessie orders them to go back. Ash wanders as well, seeing Norman's Pokémon.
Brock intimidates Norman, clarifying the facts that he promised to love Caroline when he married her. He is carried by Kenny when he sees Joy. Caroline appears before the children and Norman, saying she goes away with her suitcase. Norman does not understand what Caroline means by that... Ash and Pikachu spend time with the Pokémon, waiting for the others to arrive. Team Rocket go to capture the Pokémon, so they sends Seviper and Cacnea. Seviper goes to bite, so Ash goes to battle them.
Kenny explains to Norman the situation, so Caroline decides to leave, even on her wedding anniversary. Norman finally realizes and offers them to go home to explain everything. Seviper uses Poison Tail, hurting Piakchu. Cacnea attacks with pin Missle, damaging the Pokémon. Seviper uses Poison Tail, but Ash, Vigoroth and Slackoff run away. Norman, Caroline, Nurse Joy, May, Max and Brock run towards Ash and Norman's Pokemon. Seviper uses Poison Tail and Cacnea Pin Missile, damaging a machine that Team Rocket saw before. Norman is furious and calls Slaking.
Slaking uses Focus Punch, blasting Team Rocket immediately. Norman sees the machine - it were fireworks, actually for the anniversary. Nurse Joy offers some other fireworks - she is a pyrotechnist. She has brought the fireworks as a surprise to Caroline, as a gift from Norman. During the night, Joy sets the fireworks, Norman releases them... some fireworks take shape of Beautifly's as well. Max wonders why the Beautifly's, but Norman dodges the question. Caroline explains they met on a field full of Beautifly's. Norman tells Ash what Pokémon he's going to choose, to make the battle even more exciting.
- Caroline: "Norman! I'm leaving!"
Norman: "Where are you going?"
Caroline: "Anywhere but here!"
Norman: "Caroline!"
Slight pause.
Norman: "Do you need help packing?"
Everyone falls over.
Kenny, May, Max and Caroline to Norman.
- Featured Pokémon: Combusken, Togetic, Nuzleaf, Flareon.
- With Megan Hollingshead gone, Karen Neill (The voice of Roxanne) had to fill in for her as Caroline.
- At the beginning of the episode, a classic Pokémon identification can be seen. In this case, it is a Koffing.
- This episode's name has a resemblance to JE151: Love, Pokémon Style.

The search is on for music legend Willie Nelson's stolen armadillo.
According to USA Today, shortly after Nelson's recent concert ended at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, N.Y., someone sneaked onto stage and made off with the band's unofficial mascot: A stuffed armadillo named Ol' Dillo.
Surveillance video shows a woman casually walking onto the stage, grabbing Ol' Dillo and then walking off, even talking to a security guard on her way out.
Nelson camp took to the singer's Facebook page to ask fans to help in finding the thief.
Ol' Dillo belongs to one of Nelson's sound engineers, travels with the band and even sits onstage during concerts.

Didn't work for me
I wanted to love this because it was very inexpensive - $6.99 when I bought it. I'll be returning it. It has a strange fit (for me) around the bottom and waist and the material was not flattering at all.
October 8, 2013
I tried this skirt on thinking no way is this going to look good. I'm 5'8" like 150 size 10-hourglass shape-a little big in the tushy. It was true to size and very flattering on my behind! I was surprised usually this style is NOT flattering from the rear. I think it's the fabric & cut. So curvy girls should go for it. It's not a $300 skirt-good quality for the price. I love it!
September 26, 2013
cute but quality is lacking
I wanted to love this skirt in both red and black but I just couldn't. The ponte quality just isn't there. Returning promptly.
September 3, 2013
Nice for a ponte skirt
I'm not a huge fan of ponte skirts, they seem cheap and thin. This fabric is still thin, but the flounce in the front makes it a little more interesting than a normal ponte pencil skirt. I'll work it into my regular office rotation.
August 29, 2013
Looks great, poor quality
I'm wearing this skirt for the first time - haven't even washed it yet - and the fabric is already pilling on the rear end just from sitting at my desk at work. It's beautiful and fits well, but the material is delicate jersey and the waistband rolls up weirdly.
August 27, 2013
Perfect, super comfortable, cute feminine ruffle at the bottom. Wearing this for an interview I have coming up! This was a great value skirt that I'll wear a lot.
August 2, 2013
Super cute
Great skirt. Very cute. Hangs well, flattering. Runs a bit large though. I'd probably buy a size smaller if I were to do it again.
July 25, 2013
Love this skirt, very comfortable. Fit true to size of what I wear in dress pants from the limited. Last summer I did purchase a ponte pencil skirt and needed a 6 and almost a size 4, where this years ponte skirt needed to wear my normal pant size 8. Love the ruffle!

What do you think about the 2015 Anderson Techzilla 2.0 Youth Baseball Bat: YB15TZILLA ? |

3 Product Reviews
Questions and Answers
Got a question about the 2015 Anderson Techzilla 2.0 Youth Baseball Bat: YB15TZILLA? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.
Ask A QuestionMy son used the 2013 XL1 29/19 last year as an 8 year old. He had the strength and bat speed and did well with it. He's playing in the same division this year. Should he be able to handle the 29/20? Is the Techzilla end loaded similarly as the XL1? Is the performance similar between this and the new Mako XL?
Yes, the 2015 Anderson Techzilla 2.0 Youth Baseball Bat (YB15TZILLA) will have a similar stiff feel like the Easton XL1. It probably won't feel as end loaded but similar. He should be able to handle the 29/20. Just make sure his bat speed isn't suffering or slowing down too much. The new MAKO XL will be a two-piece composite design like the XL1 is. The composite is slightly better and the bat will swing more balanced compared to the XL1. All three bats we've discussed are very high performing and would be great for him!
I just purchased my son the 2014 Techzilla. Will the new 2015 model have a longer sweet spot? The bat has some awesome pop, just not a very long barrel compared to the Easton bats.
Yes, the 2015 Anderson Techzilla 2.0 Youth Baseball Bat (YB15TZILLA) will feature a larger more forgiving sweet spot compared to the previous year's models.
Do you know if the Anderson bats are true to their advertised weight? I know many manufacturers bats are off by as many as 2 ounces but some are essentially spot-on.
Most manufacturers and the industry overall have an accepted variance in the actual weight of the finished product given that most bats, such as the 2015 Anderson Techzilla 2.0 Youth Baseball Bat (YB15TZILLA) will be weighed and measured before the final stages of the manufacturing process. This is often done before things like grip tape, graphics, and sometimes even the end cap are added which can add to the weight. For example; even adding the knob jewel that lists the length and weight of most bats can adjust the weight making what is listed slightly incorrect. The idea is that a 30 inch 21 ounce Techzilla, for instance, is going to feel similar to another 30 inch 21 ounce bat rather than actually weigh exactly 21 ounces.
Product Description
New for 2015! Introducing the next Anderson TechZilla youth baseball bat! Featuring a -9 length to weight ratio and has a 2 1/4 inch barrel diameter, the TechZilla is built for developing players. Combined, the proven Power Arch Multi-wall Construction, enhanced manufacturing accuracy, and easily identifiable new graphics deliver advanced performance to provide game improvement technology through superior design. Unlike composites that gradually rise to a short-lived maximum potential, the new P-9000 Aerospace Alloy maintains superior performance and delivers a solid feel throughout its life. In the TechZilla, our attention to detail is demonstrated in the way that every component, every curve, every process and every detail is synergistically considered with game improvement performance in mind. The sum of the parts is the best performing bat in its category, bar none. Solid consumer take-away . . . Reborn and redesigned for 2015, the TechZilla is destined to continue its dominance on the diamond. To be the best you've got to swing the best: Anderson Techzilla. The Techzilla is approved for play in Little League, Babe Ruth, PONY, Dixie Youth, AABC, and all other youth associations. The TechZilla comes with a full 12 month manufacturer's warranty. Free Shipping!

Orphiro electric motorcycle set for September launch
Close up of the Li-ion battery packs at the front of the Orphiro electric cruiser
Article Summary
While I'm a big supporter of the push for the electrification of the motorcycle, I'm not really a big fan of the sports bike or the street bike or off-road bikes - my tastes lean towards custom cruisers like the electric chopper from Orange County Choppers. Come September, the electric cruiser camp looks to be getting a new member in the utterly gorgeous shape of the Dutch Orphiro Electric Motorcycle. Unfortunately details are scarce at the moment, but read on for what we do know.
