Brown lentils are spiced with red chili and thyme, topped with alfalfa sprouts and served on a poppy seed bun. These burgers are great on the grill and so hearty even the most devout carnivores will be singing the praises of the mighty lentil. This recipe comes to us from Trudy of veggie.num.num.
Serves 8
For the lentil burger patties:
- 1½ cups brown lentils, rinsed and picked through
- 6 cups low sodium vegetable stock
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 red chili, diced
- ¼ red onion, diced
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme, roughly chopped
- 2 slices wholegrain bread, roughly diced
- or
- 1 ½ cups freshly made breadcrumbs
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 eggs, lightly whisked
- 1-2 tablespoons wholegrain flour
To complete the lentil burgers:
- a little vegetable oil or cooking spray, to prepare the grill pan
- 8 slice of your favorite burger cheese*
- 8 tablespoons relish
- 8 sweet sandwich pickles
- 4 ounces baby lettuce
- 4 ounces alfalfa sprouts
- 1 avocado*, cut into slices
- 8 poppy seed buns, toasted
* Optional.
To make the lentil burger patties:
Place the lentils in a large saucepan with the stock and smashed garlic. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Drain off any excess liquid and set aside to cool.
Combine the chili, red onion, thyme and breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Add the cooked lentils and stir to mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the whisked eggs to the burger mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined, adding enough flour to bring the mixture together.
Form the mixture into large patties with your hands.
To complete the lentil burgers:
Prepare a large frying pan or Barbeque grill pan with a light coating of vegetable oil or cooking spray. Try using a sheet of lightly oiled tin foil on the grill if you don't have a grill pan.
Cook the lentil burger patties on the prepared pan for 4-5 minutes, flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until both sides are golden and cooked through.
If using cheese, top the cooked burger patty with 1 slice of cheese and place under a medium grill or broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Build your burger by spreading the bun with relish topping with a patty, then pickles, lettuce, alfalfa sprouts and avocado, if using. Close the burger with the top bun and repeat the process with the remaining burgers.

KINGSPORT, Tenn. — Coming together to bring about positive change was one of the key themes at the third annual HEAL (Healthy Eating, Active Living) Appalachia Obesity Symposium, held Thursday, April 12, at MeadowView Marriott Conference Resort & Convention Center.
The event brought together nearly 300 people from Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia to hear national experts speak and to exchange ideas about how to battle childhood obesity.
John Bilderback, project director for Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities in Chattanooga, gave a case study of how residents in struggling sections of that city made a difference by taking ownership of improvement efforts in their community. Then, using demographic information showing higher-poverty areas in Johnson City, Bilderback showed how some of the same opportunities exist in this area.
He finished by challenging the crowd to make the same kind of difference here that's happening in Chattanooga.
Keynote speaker Dr. Marcus Robinson talked about community building based on his work with the Consortium for Community Development in the economically distressed city of Benton Harbor, Mich., while fellow speaker Pastor James Cantrell told listeners about the success of the Cincinnati-based Health Leadership Institute for Faith-Based Organizations, and how faith and health are connected.
With so many factors contributing to childhood obesity — poverty, lack of education, lack of infrastructure, the difficulty of culture change — the symposium speakers echoed the need for working together to bring about change.
Gary Earl, nationally known inspirational speaker and innovator, served as emcee for the symposium.
"Everybody has a role," Earl said. "It's not about any particular group but about the community and the issue. And childhood obesity is an issue. It's related to every single thing we do.
"Today's just the start. I don't know if we've healed Appalachia, but we're on the way."
The 2012 HEAL Appalachia Community Grant recipients were also announced at the symposium. The HEAL Appalachia grant program is a joint effort between Mountain States Health Alliance (MSHA) and East Tennessee State University (ETSU). It provides "micro grants" of $2,000 and $5,000 to groups that come up with practical ways to address childhood obesity and improve the health of children within their spheres of influence.
Nineteen grants were awarded this year to community organizations, schools and faith organizations across the region. The winners are:
$2,000 Grantees
$5,000 Grantees

James Han: "After a number of years, our #35 SRRT WRX STI has become a recognizable fixture in GRAND-AM racing's Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge in the Grand Sport Class. Selecting the sedan body to better help differentiate our road racing efforts from our other programs, we retained the driver pairing of Bret Spaude and Andrew Aquilante.
"Two pole positions plus a win at our home track – New Jersey Motorsports Park – came early in the season, but too many near-podium misses due mainly to untimely on-track racing incidents masked the true competitiveness of our car."
Andrew Aquilante: "The 2012 season has been promising in the sense that we've had some good results. Obviously [the win] and the podium have been very good. And we've had some very good moments in races. It's just been through either luck or mechanical failure – wrong place, wrong time. We've just sadly had too many of those.
"At Daytona, there were too many cars in one spot, and we were a bystander when somebody else made a mistake. Barber [Motorsports Park] – it was mechanical; Bret at Road America – again, somebody else's mess, and not much we could do about it. In that sense, it's been good.
"Could it have been better? Yes, but we've gotten through a lot of the problems that we had in previous seasons."
Bret Spaude: "It's definitely been big. We've had pretty good success, which included two poles [positions] and track records, too. So our performance is right there.
"We wish we didn't have some of the bad racing luck we've experienced, but, overall, we've had a solid year."
What was the highlight of the year for you personally?
Andrew Aquilante: "The win in New Jersey made it."
Bret Spaude: "Definitely the highlights had to be the win at New Jersey … Homestead … Andrew charging up through the field the last five minutes from 5th to taking our first podium for the GS Program … my first podium. That was pretty exciting to see him do that.
"Definitely, New Jersey takes the cake. That was just one of those weekends where everything went right. We were top one or two in practice the whole week. Qualified on pole by a pretty good amount and then we went out there and came back from a couple penalties to win in a pretty commanding fashion.
"It had to be the win. You know, we've all worked so hard to get to that point, and when we finally got there, it was a pretty good feeling, something that … obviously we all want to experience more and more and more."
Did you do anything different after you won at New Jersey?
Bret Spaude: "No, not really. I did wear the same pair of socks – I washed them – but other than that …"
Do you mentally go to the track prior to a race?
Andrew Aquilante: "It depends on whether we're still searching for something or whether we feel confident. "For instance, New Jersey where we won, you're not doing as much; yes, you're looking at data, but you're not as stressed out. So if we qualify 20th and we've been off the pace throughout practice, you're kind of like, 'What're we gonna do? What're we gonna do?' But when you're up top, it's a lot easier.
"It's why we race, and you also have to factor in that things will happen. For instance, Indy: We didn't qualify too well, but when we got in the race, we were smart. Bret kept it clean, and I got in the car and we were running competitive times.
"OK, things happen; we got knocked back. Not much you can do about that. You can't get down on yourself, but you do have to think about that sort of thing."
Do you drive any of the courses in video games?
Andrew Aquilante: "Used to. Not so much anymore. I mean I used to play a lot of them that had a lot of the tracks, and, honestly, that's how I learned them. But I don't play.
"The latest one is iRacing, which has a lot of tracks; they're very accurate, and cars are very accurate. Obviously, when you're playing with real cars, you don't have as much time to play on video games."
What's your favorite track?
Andrew Aquilante: "I used to like Lime Rock before they repaved because it took some skill, it took some local knowledge and whatnot. I will admit New Jersey is a favorite of mine because we're there so much and we get to drive it so much. You watch other people who even in our series have a hard time with it. It's fun to drive around them. So having a home track in that sense makes it a favorite, I would say."
Bret Spaude: "I like Barber. I like New Jersey. Daytona's always got a real special place in my heart. That's kind of like our big race and go partying in Daytona and dad has always done extremely well there. Our whole group has always done really well. Between all of us that call ourselves our core little group, at Daytona we have over 150 wins combined. So there's a good little history at Daytona. I like everywhere."
What are your thoughts on next year's season?
Andrew Aquilante: "I think if we can remove the luck issues, I would say we'd be pretty competitive. It's still tough but it's a lot closer than we've ever been."
Bret Spaude: "I'm excited. Depending on the schedule and how it falls out, we should have some good tracks for us. I think if we can get rid of some of these real monkeys that come and go like our bad luck on a couple accidents that really weren't any of our doings that we just got involved in.
"Those races should have been top 10s, top 5s, you know, two instances that stick out in my mind pretty vividly, should be top 10 results. That would obviously help us for an overall points position."
How do you plan to prepare in the off-season?
Andrew Aquilante: "You continue on with your normal routine, whether it's exercise and whatnot. It's not as easy to stay in a car, obviously, being from the North and wintertime comes in. So you're not on track as much as you could be.
"But at this level, you kind of build the confidence in yourself that you can hop in a car and within a few laps be right back at it after a month of being out of the saddle."
Bret Spaude: "Off-season, you just gotta keep on with your workout regimen. You gotta get in the car whenever there's an opportunity. Go back and look at old race videos, data.
"The biggest thing is just seat time. You want be in the car as much as you can to keep yourself mentally sharp."

NM budget signed with pay raise for state workers
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico's state workers and educators are in line for their first across-the-board pay increase in four years under a nearly $5.9 billion state budget signed into law Friday by Gov. Susana Martinez.
The governor used her line-item veto powers to trim $1.7 million from next year's spending in the budget, but she left intact provisions that allocate about $33 million for 1 percent salary increases for public employees, including school workers, in the fiscal year that starts July 1.
Among the vetoes, Martinez cut $125,000 that lawmakers had provided for the Commission on the Status of Women next year, but the agency will be able to continue to operate by spending unused money from its current budget, Martinez administration officials said.
Also signed by the governor were measures to:
— Revamp the pension system for nearly 90,000 state and local government workers and retirees. Cost-of-living adjustments will be lowered, and Login to read more

Continental Places Boeing Order As Rivals Skimp on New Planes
HOUSTON -- Continental Airlines CAL 1.51 % ordered aircraft valued at $3.5 billion from Boeing Co. BA 0.70 % , or 34 additional planes, a significant move when most other traditional U.S. carriers have slowed or halted jet orders until their balance sheets improve.
The airline, the fifth-largest in the U.S. by passenger traffic last year, ordered 10 787 Dreamliners and 24 737s. The planes, which will begin to be delivered in 2008 and 2009, will help support Continental's previously stated plans to increase capacity 5% to 7% a year. Airlines tend to get sizable discounts from list prices.
"These aircraft will give us the ability to seize long-haul market opportunities, remove less efficient aircraft from our fleet and maintain our role as a global network leader," said Continental Chief Executive Larry Kellner, who has been leading an aggressive international expansion at the carrier.
Those conditions, though improving, have been tough in the last five years, causing the U.S. airline industry to accumulate more than $40 billion in financial losses since 2001. The industry continues to be in the red. But as most big airlines have slashed costs and shrunk fleets, increased passenger demand has helped them increase fares and improve bottom lines. Continental had a net loss of $66 million in the latest first quarter but is expected to be profitable for the second and third quarters and for the year, according to analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial.
Continental had already released a growth plan showing it would expand faster domestically this year than other big traditional airlines. Continental will increase its domestic mainline capacity -- which excludes regional-carrier operations -- almost 4% from last year, compared with a decline of about 4% for AMR Corp.'s American, the world's largest airline.
Continental's biggest U.S. competitors are largely shrinking or curbing domestic growth as stiff competition and high fuel prices have made the U.S. market more challenging.
American Airlines maintains it must first find a way to make its current fleet profitable before ordering new planes; the carrier has no more firm aircraft orders coming until 2013. This begs the question of when other airlines will need to start ordering aircraft to stay competitive. Production slots for the Boeing 787 are now largely sold out through 2011, which means Continental will very likely have a three-year jump on the competition.
"They've had good timing in the past when they bought planes," said Standard & Poor's airline analyst Jim Corridore, who added the planes will be more fuel- and maintenance-efficient. Yet, the orders will make Continental's balance sheet less flexible for the future, he said.
To help offset the domestic challenges, big airlines including Continental have been expanding on more-profitable international routes. But Continental has voiced the need to keep growing domestically to feed its international operation and prevent certain competitors from grabbing market-share. The new aircraft order should help the airline with its overall growth strategy, it says.J. Lynn Lunsford contributed to this story.

EWEB adds $660K to help people pay heating bills, seeks donations
Press release from EWEB
Following three weeks of uncommonly cold weather, the Eugene Water & Electric Board will devote an additional $660,000 to its low-income assistance program to lend a hand to customers in need.
The extra $660,000 in low-income funding is on top of the $1.7 million the utility budgets at the start of each heating season to help those who meet income eligibility guidelines, and also customers who have lost their jobs. Customers who have lost their jobs and are receiving state unemployment benefits can receive a $200 bill credit, regardless of income.
EWEB is taking additional steps to help customers impacted by the extremely cold weather. Low-income customers who received bill-payment assistance last year will receive notification in the mail during the next few days that EWEB has automatically credited their accounts the normal $200 annual assistance. This expedited assistance for more nearly 3,400 households, rather than requiring those customers to re-apply for assistance.
Income-eligible customers who did not receive bill assistance in the past year will have to apply. For a list of locations and how to apply, go to: www.eweb.org/assistance
While EWEB's funding for low-income and job loss assistance is one of the highest in the nation on a per capita basis, it cannot serve everyone in need. The utility is asking customers who are able to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate and donate to the Customer Care programs. Donations can help provide senior and low-income customers with the basic necessities of water and electricity. Recipients of financial aid credit the program with allowing them to spend more on non-energy necessities such as food, prescription drugs and health care.
Anyone interested can make a one-time donation by sending a check payable to "Customer Care" when they pay their next bill. Customers can also make a donation with a Visa or MasterCard by calling EWEB at 541-685-7000. Customers enrolled in EWEB e-Billing can set up a one-time or recurring donation on the online "Pay Bills" page.

The 24-year-old twins joined the cast of MTV's "Teen Wolf" for the show's third season ... and now, they look like this:
The show's official tumblr account posted the photo above on Tuesday to address rumors that there wouldn't be as many shirtless scenes in upcoming episodes.
Glad that's settled.
The two were brought on to play twin Alpha werewolves Ethan and Aidan and are described as "dancers charmers with brilliant minds" ... and impressive six-packs!
The show is expected to return Summer 2013.

The genetic basis of development and behaviors in zebrafish
Zebrafish is an excellent model vertebrate because of high fecundity, rapid embryonic development, transparency at the embryonic stages and inexpensive and easy breeding procedures. However, neither an efficient transgenesis method nor a transposon technology had not been developed until recently. We identified an autonomous member from the medaka fish Tol2 transposable element, and developed a highly efficient transgenesis method for the first time in zebrafish. Further, we successfully developed the gene trap and enhancer trap methods and the Gal4- UAS method. By using these methods, we created a large number of transgenic fish that express the GFP reporter gene or the yeast Gal4 transcription activator in specific cells, tissues and organs. These transgenic fish are valuable resources for studies of developmental biology and neuroscience. We aim to apply these methods and resources to the study of neuroscience. By using transgenic fish that express Gal4 in specific neural circuits, we visualize structures of specific neural circuits, inhibit their functions and detect their activities by calcium imaging. Thus, studies toward understanding of molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying complex behaviors of a vertebrate animal are currently ongoing in our laboratory.

On Friday 1/10/14 the U.S. Department of Labor released its "Employment Situation" summary with the following opening sentence, "The unemployment rate declined from 7.0 percent to 6.7 percent in December while total non-farm payroll employment edged up (+74,000)". This sent bond prices (NYSEARCA:TLT) higher, and the U.S. Dollar (NYSEARCA:UUP) lower.
The Department of Labor's second sentence went on to proclaim that "The number of unemployed persons declined by 490,000 to 10.4 million in December". For the year the Department of Labor states that 1.9 million Americans were no longer unemployed. Well, not exactly.
The headline unemployment data is misleading, and unfortunately is wrongfully given much more attention than it deserves.
The Spin Cycle
The headline unemployment rate continues to decline (down from 7.6% in December 2012 to only 6.7% in December 2013), but this is due more to calculation nuances and definition gaming than to an underlying positive fundamental backdrop the media and others are claiming.
Headlines such as this one from United Press International earlier in the month continue to imply the unemployment picture is vastly improving. "Unemployment Trend Positive in Most Cities" captures readers attention as the article goes on to explain that the "unemployment rate in 293 out of 372 cities was lower in November compared with the same month in 2012".
But headline unemployment rates are not what we should be focusing on as the meaningful information is buried one level deeper in the data.
Even former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke himself suggested this back in July when he also questioned its usefulness. "The unemployment rate probably understates the weakness of the labor market".
I concur. Instead we should be looking more closely at employment rates, not unemployment rates, because they better portray the productive capacities and income potentials of households.
The Devil is in the Details
The unemployment situation in America is similar to the housing one in which headline data continues to suggest positive outcomes, but the data behind the headlines suggests otherwise. Back in May we were watching the housing market as headlines continued to pump the never ending rise in homeprices and homebuilder (NYSEARCA:XHB) stock prices.
On 5/30 in my article entitled, "Genuine housing recovery, or relief rally?" I spoke of the headline data that wasn't being confirmed by the underlying fundamentals. We also alerted subscribers through our Technical Forecast getting out of housing and construction stocks (NYSEARCA:ITB). Soon after, housing related equities and REITS (NYSEARCA:VNQ) fell over 10% through the summer as construction ETFs are still down from their highs and REITS (NYSEARCA:RWR) remain down 15% through today.
The official unemployment rate's equation is displayed below by the graphic and helps show how the rate is derived.
The next two boxes show November's data compared to December 2013's numbers released 1/10/14. Both the # of unemployed persons dropped, but also so did the total labor force.
Putting it all Together
The below chart shows the unemployment rate that has indeed been in decline (in blue), but it also shows a labor force participation rate in red that has also been declining, now below 155 million Americans.
A falling participation rate means more Americans are simply leaving the labor force, for whatever reasons, rather than gaining actual employment. This nevertheless takes the unemployment rate down, as unemployment only counts those individuals "looking for work" and thus also are in the labor participation rate.
The latest controversy involves those long term unemployed which are losing their benefits and about to drop out of the labor force all together, driving the numerator of "unemployed persons" down significantly. This will no doubt take the unemployment rate lower, but certainly will not make the employment situation in America any better as the falling rate deceptively implies.
This is one of the main problems with the unemployment rate as it is today. Americans are simply leaving the labor force instead of finding jobs, yet the headline unemployment rate suggests this as a positive outcome.
The next data set below shows that the actual employment situation in America is worse than the headline unemployment rate suggests.
Employment versus Unemployment
Today the labor force participation rate as a % of all working age adults is 62.8%, shrinking from last year's 63.6% rate, and down significantly from the 66%+ rate seen throughout the 1990s and 2000s.
In fact the number of working age Americans over the age of 16 no longer in the labor force just hit an all time high of 91.8 million, up from 77.3 million in December 2006. A rising number of citizens not in the labor force would be expected as an aging population retires, but the plethora of baby boomers has not yet started to retire, so this number should only be expected to go way higher, likely taking unemployment down with it.
The next chart shows this trend in red, but also shows the number of citizens actually employed in the United States in blue, still below 2007's peak of 146 million.
Neither of these data sets adjusts for the growth in the U.S. population, though. A growing population should have growing employment as well as a growing number of people leaving the workforce, so the data needs to be adjusted for population changes in order to compare them apples to apples.
Although the amount of citizens employed is growing and the amount of unemployed are shrinking as the above two graphs show, further data suggests the U.S. employment situation is not getting any better when looked at as a total percentage of the working population, in other words, on a per capita basis.
The chart below shows the "employment" rate compared to the "unemployment" rate since December 2006.
More and more people are dropping out of the labor force, making the unemployment picture look better. But a declining labor force also means the total employment picture in the U.S. is actually not getting any better.
The employment rate shows this and suggests the long term risks to growing household income, corporate revenues, and even GDP are still not being mitigated as more and more Americans fall out of the labor market, keeping jobs per capita at less than 59% of the working age population since 2009. The number of Americans of working age actually employed continues to be stagnant when adjusted for the rise in our population.

Chernobyl pilots knew risks: commander
Moscow (AFP) April 25, 2011
The pilots who flew over Chernobyl to limit the danger from the destroyed reactor were aware of the risks despite huge radiation doses and inadequate safety precautions, their commander said Monday.
In the 10 days after the world's worst nuclear disaster on April 26, 1986, Soviet pilots carried out 4,000 flights to dump thousands of tons of lead, sand and clay to cover the destroyed reactor four.
In a rare interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily published on the eve of the disaster's 25th anniversary, the then air force chief for the Kiev district General Nikolai Antoshkin gave a chilling insight into the risks.
The pilots received potentially lethal doses of radiation that went completely off the scale of their dosimeters while precautions were as basic as changing uniforms, using cream and taking baths, he said.
"Of course the pilots knew (they were getting high doses) and the consequences," Antoshkin, who was made a Hero of the Soviet Union, the highest award bestowed by the USSR, for his work in liquidating the disaster.
"They said 'comrade general, this is not Afghanistan. There you are shot at but you turn back, land and forget. But here the enemy is invisible. How will this affect me, my children in the future?'"
"But the pilots knew that the reactor needed to be covered as quickly as possible. You'd tell the pilot to leave but he'd come back."
None of the estimated 600 pilots who took part are among the 28 people confirmed to have died of radition exposure in the months after the explosion, although two were killed in a helicopter crash over the reactor.
However the extent of the health effects on the pilots and the half million other so-called "liquidators" remains hugely controversial, with estimates ranging from only a few dozen other deaths attributable to Chernobyl to tens of thousands.
Antoshkin, who was responsible for coordinating the fly-overs in the crucial first 10 days after the explosion, said the teams took the best precautions they could in the circumstances.
"Every day the crews changed their uniforms. They gave us iodine tablets and some kind of nasty anti-radiation cream from Leningrad for those who flew across the reactor.
"We used whatever they proposed. Although we knew they were weak precautions. They forced the pilots to take baths to wash away the radioactive dirt."
He said the extent of the danger was clear from the very first flight to dump sand on the reactor.
"The device for measuring radiation could not cope. It's maximum level was 500 roentgen. I estimated that it would be 1,500 at that height.
"And then I was told 'you deceived your pilots. It's 3,000-3,500 roentgen.' I said: 'What's the difference, whether 1,000 or 3,500, the task needs to be fulfilled'".

PHOTOS: Amazing pictures of waterspouts and other severe weather events!
Enfield, CT - Two upperclassmen girls are in some big trouble after allegedly playing a disgusting prank on students at Fermi High.
Over the course of two days, school officials say the girls brought an assortment of cupcakes. All tainted with one foreign ingredient, urine.
"People were eating them, yeah, they would eat them and they (the girls) would laugh and then walk away."
It didn't take long for these girls to get busted. Students say one pair of loose lips did them in.
"They told one person and that one person basically told everybody."
As word spread like a virus, many felt like they were coming down with one.
"They were disgusted and a bunch of people who ate them got really sick."
We talked with Supt. Jeffrey Schumann who called this one of the more disturbing incidents he's seen. He says students did complain, but no one needed medical attention.
"It was a little difficult to believe honestly. It sounds like something out of a movie. Like, from the mean girls or something."
Parents say what's needed here is a severe punishment.
"s far as I'm concerned, the students should be expelled. Whether it's bullying or pranking I guess that's up to interpretation, but it's at a whole different level."

It's not just the flu that troubles hospitals this time of year.
The winter months are also a prime time for respiratory synctial virus, also known as RSV.
Infants born prematurely or with chronic lung disease are at greater risk for becoming sick with the virus, which can cause severe cold-like symptoms and pneumonia.
That risk has prompted Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney to take precautions to stop the highly contagious virus from spreading.
The hospital is putting restrictions on visits to its birth center and pediatric care unit until further notice. The hospital said that anyone with any signs of illness should refrain from visiting the hospital.
A recent federal study found that RSV is the most common cause of viral death in children under five. Researchers also discovered that 78-percent of RSV deaths occur in people 65 and older.

If I DO decide to stay what are some steps I can take? He can take? Anyone else deal with another child? What if it is his? Can i deal with that? Ugh.. just so confused. We are due a week apart.
Currently working on reconciliation.
In the I Can Relate forum there is a thread for dealing with an OC (other child). There are some wonderful women there that will help and guide you.
It takes all kinds of kinds....Miranda Lambert
The very first thing you need to do is see a good family law attorney now, before either of the children are born, or before OW (other woman) files for child support. In many states, the timing of who files significantly affects the amount you may receive if things do not work out.
Know what your rights and options are now. Please don't see this as an all-or-nothing "I'm ending the relationship" move. See this step for what it is: information gathering.
Lots of other folks will come with great support ideas, and you might want to spend some time looking at the articles under "The healing library" link in the upper left (above the Dr. Phil thing).
Please talk to an attorney sooner rather than later - you don't have to know yet whether you intend to divorce or reconcile.

1 year passionate EA/PA, ended by me on d-day.
Attempting to R
You also need to get tested for STD's. Him too. And no sex until the results are back. An STD can have horrific affects on an unborn child.
There is a thread in the I can Relate forum for BS's dealing with an OC(other child). They will be able to give you advice that some of us here may not.
As for the OW. No contact AT ALL until the child is born. And in the meantime, he needs to decide if he wants a relationship with this child. And you need to decide if you can deal with that. From what I have read here, it is a neverending battle.
Im so very sorry he has done this.
He wants to R? So what is he doing to become a safe partner for you? Is he answering all of your questions with complete honesty, and no anger? Is he 100% transparent? Do you have full access to all of his accounts and phone? Passwords too?
Who all was at this party? Did his buddies know he was hooking up with some slut?
Welcome to SI.
[This message edited by confused615 at 1:38 PM, August 13th (Wednesday)]
..that feeling you get in your stomach, when you heart's broken. It's like all the butterflies just died.
Did I misunderstand what you posted?
So sorry you are dealing with this. I'm not the one to help, but you will find a lot of support hear and in the IRL threads for OC if that turns out to be the case.
That being said I see some holes in your story.
Like Allusions indicated it's almost impossible for her to know she is pregnant that soon, and to know that it is his. Many women when they realize they are being left, or not getting what they want will claim pregnancy, and then the man goes rushing back, and then when aunt flo makes her arrival, claim it's a miscarriage. That being said you need to protect yourself and your unborn child, so file for CS immediately. If you have a kid with this guy, and he doesn't pull it together and grow up, you need to be able to enforce his financial responsibility for that child of yours.
Make sure you are taking care of yourself right now, eating, staying hydrated, and sleeping.
Get tested for STI's immediately.
Then the hard stuff. Figure out what you want and need from him to make this thing work. If he wants to try you need to be able to say this is what I absolutely need from you to even consider this.
Reach out to loved ones for support right now.
Keep reading, and keep posting.
(((and strength)))
I am already looking for an attorney as I had already thought of some of the things you have mentioned.
He says he doesnt want a realationship with the mother or her child if it's his or not. He is willing to pay what he owes but does not consider this a child of his just a child he helped make. (if it's his)
The timeline has always seemed off to me as well, as you said women don't know that soon. He is going to do a DNA test and I know which night it was so he was not lying....i think she did.
I think she slept with someone and when he was drunk (not that that excuses him and what he did) but she saw an opportunity to sleep with someone in better financial standing and deem him the father.
He has been completly open with me. We have always had all passwords, phone access, etc.. of each other. He let me put a tracking app on his phone too.
Not excusing once again, but I do feel this was a one time mistake that he is feeling horrible for. He has done everything I've asked and tried to make it up.
I am not sure what steps to take to become healthy again....i will take your suggestions and read the library tonight when I have some time.
Thank you all for your responses and support. Being a first time mom I never thought I would be going through all of this. I just can't get it out of my head.
Highly doubt (unless he is lying to you about how long this "affair" was going on and it just wasnt one night) that he is the father.
I suggest seek legal counsel, if you and him are serious about trying to make it work and wanting to be together, I suggest couples therapy for the future. It is going to be needed. But for now, I'd make sure all your ducks are in a row for sure.
Nothing can be decided if her child is his or not until the baby is born. All you know is that for sure YOUR baby is his and you need to protect yourself and your child.
Need advice on how to repair and change before I loose my family.
Is he willing to go to IC (individual counseling)? For me, that was a requirement for me to consider R. What are your requirements for R? What are the consequences if he doesn't follow through? And he may feel he wants nothing to do with the child, but once that child is old enough to ask questions, and if the child is his, *mom* will tell him and that will open a whole 'nother can of crazy. You both need to be united in a plan for dealing with it. Children don't just go away because they are inconvenient for the sperm donor.
I'm not trying to be harsh. Just know that he has a long road ahead of him and he can't just "I'm sorry. It won't happen again" his way out of it to a committed relationship with you. It isn't that easy. If it was, sites like this wouldn't have nearly 45,000 members.
ETA - there are paternity tests that can be done prior to the birth that do not put any undo risk on the baby or the mother. I would insist that be looked into.
[This message edited by Lucky2HaveMe at 2:55 PM, August 13th (Wednesday)]
He needs to get into counseling and figure out WHY he did what he did. I would suggest you get into counseling too to help with all the emotions that go along with both the betrayal and the pregnancy. Maybe marriage counseling too but in my situation IC (individual counseling) for both of us helped far more than MC (marriage counseling).
Welcome and good luck. And congratulations on your pregnancy, I know it's such a stressful time but your son will be a wonderful blessing.
That's off the top of my head. You can do this.
He refuses these steps, back his bags and 180 hard.
ETA: Oops I got 2 posts confused. Some of the above list does not pertain to you.
[This message edited by Lucky2HaveMe at 4:08 PM, August 13th (Wednesday)]
So he needs to look at his drinking. Not necessarily quit, but he really needs to take a look at how drinking affects his decision-making process. Also, who were the people at this party? Are they people who you would consider friends of the marriage, or do they engage in behavior like cheating/one-night stands?
Cutting off any form of contact with this woman is also something that needs to happen. Other than confirming the child's paternity, there isn't really any need for them to communicate.
How is he with his phone/email? Does he have them password protected? These things should be open to you. He crushed your trust, he needs to be completely transparent and open in order to get it back. (ETA - sorry, just read your reply above)
If he's truly remorseful, he will be eager to do these things.

In terms of your relationship - having a one night stand while drunk is still a one night stand. He has to dig deep and figure out why he gave himself permission - or sought out - to have sex with another woman. This is not an easy question. And looking at it usually uncovers an entire mountain of layers that also need to be examined, like boundaries, coping mechanisms, etc.
There's also the focus on healing your relationship. That's a lot of pain and betrayal and anger that comes with an affair, whether it be one night or longer. It hurts trust. And working through that is the only way to come out the other side.
As others have said, there's an OC/other child thread in the "I can relate" forum where they can offer you advice. Hopefully the DNA test will resolve this issue entirely and you won't have to worry about it. If there is another child... you guys will have to figure out what to do about it from there. I've known OC situations in person that have gone different ways - from an OC that wound up not being theirs biologically, to an OC that showed up 16 years later with 16 years backchildsupport to go with them and a whole host of anger, betrayal, etc that they had no father; to a situation where they were able to be cordial but very distant in handling the OC. It's hard. It's a lot to think about.
Sorry you are here :(
He has not communicated with her at all alone. She has texted him (only relating to the baby) and he has showed me all the texts and only responds when we type together. He is going to talk to a lawyer to figure out his options with that part of the situation.
He gives me all of his passwords adn access to his facebook, phone, email, etc...
He has been eager to do everything i have asked...just not sure what all to ask of him.
I agree...she wouldn't know if she was pregnant a week later. BUT...if this was more than a one night stand, and has been going on for awhile, then she would know if she was pregnant a week after that party.
Something is off here. Either this has been an ongoing affair..and he has only admitted to a ONS because she is pregnant and you were going to find out anyway...or she is lying and it's not his baby.
You need to find out the truth. And you can't trust him right now. Start investigating.
Has HE been tested for STD's? Did you tell your OB that your WH had an unprotected sexual encounter with OW and you have been exposed? Please do so...it's possible she didn't test you for everything..they usually don't, if you say you are in a committed, monogamous relationship.
[This message edited by confused615 at 3:59 PM, August 13th (Wednesday)]
I agree with the others, the timing seems off. It's unlikely she would know she was pregnant within 8 days.
It's possible she's lying. Or it was more than once and he impregnated her earlier than that. Have you seen proof she is even pregnant? Have you seen her to confirm she looks pregnant? Or seen some sort of pregnancy test results? (from a doctor, not her screen shot of an ept )
.it's possible she didn't test you for everything..they usually don't, if you say you are in a committed, monogamous relationship.
Very, very good point.
Just MHO. Stinks to me. . . .
Good luck and please follow all the good advice you got.
Keep posting

Gave it a 8 only because it doesn't have all the fancy swimming pools, etc. These are thing we do not use. We are self-contained and never check out showers, laundry, etc. I chose this park because of previous comments and they were spot on. Great sandwiches, and will also be getting a haircut before we leave. Another reason I chose this place was Tiffin would not give me a reservation and I didn't want to arrive and have to go to the boondock site. I am definitely glad I didn't. Service was outstanding. Would stay here again - MrMcGoo

As I recall, there are 5 sites with full hookups at $20 a night and 3 sites for dry-docking at $10 a night. This area is just across the street from the Tiffin Service area and RV Park. The Tiffin Park, a fist come-first served park is frequently overflowed with a waiting list, so the Detail Depot is an alternative, which also takes reservations. We had a little trouble leveling at Detail Depot. The management is friendly and helpful. They will provide 110 service so you can avoid running your generator. This is an OK place to stay, while awaiting service at Tiffin. It is less dusty, but you may feel a little out of the swing of things (waiting with others to get Tiffin service). - hoppytoad

This isn't technically a campground, but they really go out of their way to make your experience good. This is directly across from the Tiffin Service center and they've created some very serviceable sites for RV's. There are water, sewer and 50 amp service available at their sites. The staff were awesome. It really is a great one stop place. You can get your nails done, your dog groomed, shop at their store, and get a great Philly cheesesteak sandwich all in one place. Your rig will get sparkly clean too if you want. If you're taking your Tiffin product to be serviced and don't have the time or inclination to hang around for a week or more they'll let you leave it there while you explore the countryside in your toad and take it over to the service center right across the street. Give them a try. Choices are limited in this town, but these guys do everything possible to make you happy. - Gogirl

We stayed here while we were in town having maintenance work done on our motorhome. We have stayed previously at the service center campground and the self-serve campground, and we prefer this one so far. Since we are on concrete, there is no dust like there is at the other two campgrounds, and the downtown location is convenient (you can walk to the grocery store). Payment is cash or check, and you just leave your payment in an envelope in the payment box on site. The utilities worked well, and we had good cell service. We will definitely stay here again when in Red Bay. - henny38

Hard to rate. It is a large cement slab where two buildings once were. You are parked on cement instead of gravel. All of the RV parks currently in operation are, 98%, used for people that come to Red Bay for service at Tiffin Motorhomes service facility. This is one of 3 overflow areas people use when the Allegro, Tiffin, campground is full. If you have been here when it rains, you will appreciate the cement. Most sites here have good satellite service. 4-6 could be the hardest for sat service. This lot is just behind the post office and an easy walk to downtown. There is a real RV Park being built at Red Bay but it is not open as of May, 2015. - johnwadams

This is a gravel lot with space for ten RVs. The spaces are level with good hookups. There is an "office" where you can go to deposit payment as it is a self serve lot. While we were there they brought in fresh gravel and spent time keeping the lot grated and maintained. The campground is mostly used by people in town for service at the Tiffin service center down the street but there were others there as well. We would stay again if in the area. - Elf86

This small self service RV Park is on 4th St NW and is within 300 yards of the entrance to the Tiffin repair facility. The weekly rate is $100. Tiffin service personnel visit you here in the usual way once you have registered at the Tiffin office.. It has no bathrooms or washing facilities, but these are available at the Tiffin repair facility if your own is out of order. Sites are back in. The surface is gravel and is level. We stayed here for a week and would stay here again. - R and M

This just a place to park. Water, power and sewer nothing else. Gravel, with white dust when dry and white mud when it rains. Beyond VERY noisy. This place sits directly on the main road through town. Heavy traffic with lots of trucks and plenty of motorcycles. But this is the only game in town except for the service lots at Tiffin. Which is the same as this park, dust, mud, WiFi doesn't work but it has a laundry. Would I stay here again, guess so no other choice. - philipclalle

This is not a campground. It is just a parking lot with hookups for the unfortunate customers who own Tiffin motorhomes and need service. They do let you stay free if your repairs are covered under the warranty. The sites have full hookups and there is a laundry room and store but that's about it. WiFi is so slow it is just about non-existent.
Tiffin makes a good product but the way they treat their customers who need warranty repairs is disgraceful. Customers who arrive at the campground (service facility) which will not make appointments are being told that they will have to sit and wait a month for service. This is unacceptable!!! - Fire344

Make our first trip (obligatory, they say, for Tiffin owners) to Red Bay for service on our Allegro Bus. The reduced fee of $10 a night camping rate was due to replacement of the cap rails on our 2011 rig, a manufacturer's recall by Tiffin which was performed free of charge. (The body work after replacement of the rails was contracted out to the Red Bay Body Shop located right next to the Tiffin manufacturing plant, also on Tiffin's nickel.) Coaches still under warranty pay nothing for camping fees, otherwise sites are $20. Sites are narrow, with 50/30 amp service and you will definitely get to know your neighbors, which is good! All of us had a lot in common, so much so that sometimes it was difficult at night to find your own coach, they are so alike. Water was turned off while we were there (nights in the 20s and 30s), but city water was available to fill your tanks whenever needed. The bathrooms have enclosed showers, warm and comfortable, and clean! Without water available at the campsites they got heavy use but I never saw them dirty. Tiffin has a new customer lounge to use while your coach is in a service bay, with very comfortable seating, TV, vending machines, one side for pets and the other without. Service was exceptional, fast and the price was definitely right. Made up for the fuel use to get there from Maryland. About 100 sites, with space for boondocking if the regular sites are full. Dusty. Not a lot of areas to walk pets but we got by, and people were generally good about policing after their dogs. A nice laundry room with about 4 or 5 modern washers and dryers, very clean with comfortable seating. Very reasonable, $1 for a wash, $.75 for the dryer. A few small local restaurants but the county is dry. Our best bet for lunch was the Subway on Main Street at the #4 stoplight. There is a new Walmart market, just opened in early December 2014, about 5 miles away in the neighboring town of Belmont, Ms. Saves a 25 mile trip to the nearest Walmart supercenter. Otherwise Red Bay has a couple of small grocery stores, such as the Piggly Wiggly. Would definitely return whenever we need to. Worth it to get your work done promptly, efficiently, and by people who know your coach and how to repair it. - M&M
Nov 2014 - $20.00
Much or all of the staff in the office and store are new, so if you need info, ask a Tiffin owner. The water was turned off on 13 Nov, which is about the normal time for CRB (Camp Red Bay to you non-Tiffin coach owners). The water faucets have been fixed and secured so they are not loose in the box. Wifi is much improved. With the extension of the service building toward the south, much of the lot in that area is being paved. That is because the new bays are for painting and they need to get rid of the dust around those bays. The new paving encourages the workers to drive at mach 3 around the campground. Where it has not been newly paved, rain still turns the place into grey slime. The new visitors lounge is very nice. If you want to sit outside, the Allegro Club has invested with some nice furniture under a covered patio by the club. Prices in the store have jumped, so check on Amazon first. - okdiver

Researchers analyzed the health data of 2,400 participants in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study and found a correlation between high levels of healthy HDL cholesterol and a lower risk of bowel cancer.
Individuals with the highest levels of HDL cholesterol were about 20 percent less likely to have the disease, even after the authors adjusted for diet, weight and lifestyle.
The effect may be explained by the fact that HDL has been shown to be anti-inflammatory, and chronic inflammation is associated with the development of cancer, the study authors noted.
The Mayo Clinic has reported that lifestyle habits like exercise, healthy diet, non-smoking status and drinking alcohol only in moderation may influence healthy cholesterol levels. Additionally, whole grains, nuts, omega-3 fatty acids and plant sterols — like those found in certain margarines — may also help individuals increase HDL cholesterol levels.
The institution also recommends requesting a cholesterol screening from a healthcare provider if an individual is unsure about their current level, since high LDL cholesterol has been linked to various chronic illnesses, like cardiovascular disease.

Every Wednesday, Chase Christian of Encrypted Text invites you to enter the world of shadows, as we explore the secrets and mechanics of the Rogue class. This week, we discuss some of the tips and tricks to remember when raiding the final boss of Trial of the Crusader.
Azjol'nerub was merely a setback for the final boss we face in the Trial of the Crusader. Anub'arak (too many apostrophes in the Nerubian language, I say) decides to crash the party and Arthas' powerful shockwave drops you right into his lair. We're put face-to-face with the Traitor King himself, even though we've already bested him once in Northrend.
This is one of the simpler fights in terms of mechanics, compared to a very long and drawn out encounter like Yogg-Saron or Mimiron. It's by no means easy, however, and Anub'Arak's heroic 25-man version has only been conquered by a handful of guilds worldwide. Between several new fight mechanics and very distinct phases, the encounter is fast-paced and very fun from a Rogue's perspective. After the cut, I'll talk about the specific details you can use to help your raid group conquer this over-sized beetle.
Final Encounter: Anub'arak
Here's a 3 phase fight, similar in execution to some of the original strategies for defeating Ignis. We focus on destroying Anub'arak while he spawns some of his friends to help fight us. The adds are called Nerubian Burrowers, and will be tanked on top of 'Permafrost', one of the new mechanics in this fight. In the air, all around the cavern, are frozen orbs floating about. If killed by a ranged DPS class, they'll fall to the floor, spawning a patch of Permafrost on the ground.
Phase 1:
Permafrost looks like a Hunter's Frost Trap and acts like one as well: you'll be slowed just by walking on it. However, it prevents the Burrowers from using their namesake technique: burrowing. This ensures you'll be able to burn the Burrowers all the way down without them escaping and wiping aggro. Your job will be to assist with destroying these Burrowers as often as possible. If two Burrowers are within 12 yards of each other, they'll buff each other with Spider Frenzy, which combined with the stacks of Expose Weakness on your tank will wipe your raid quickly. Focusing down these Burrowers becomes the top priority, with all of your free time spent on the boss. The first phase of this fight is very similar to Gormok in that regard.
Phase 2:
Here's the part where the Permafrost becomes even more crucial for you to observe. Anub'arak will go underground, making him immune to your stabbing and smashing. You've got to immediately help your tanks begin to pick up the spawning Swarm Scarabs by using Tricks of the Trade, and burning them down before they can stack Acid-Drenched Mandibles too high. They will occasionally cast 'Determination' on themselves, making them glow red and go immune to CC effects, similar to those cursed Hunters and their 'Beast Within'. You can dispel this using a quick dose of Anesthetic Poison, so consider swapping to another weapon to use AP for Phase 2. Your healers will thank you!
Anub'arak occasionally targets someone in the raid with a debuff called Pursued by Anub'arak. If you've got this debuff, it's pretty much like any other raid debuff you've seen over the past few years: you want to get as far away from the raid as possible. You'll be chased by spikes coming out of the ground, which will probably one-shot you if they reach you. I recommend using Sprint and trying to kite them for as long as possible. Once they're getting close to you, you'll need to get yourself on some Permafrost ASAP. If the spikes hit Permafrost, they'll burn it up, but will stop pursuing you as well. Then, Anub'arak will change targets, and the spikes will chase someone else. The longer you can kite the spikes around, the less time the rest of your group has to worry about being pursued. Just make sure to be on the Permafrost BEFORE the spikes reach you, or your Rogue will be a pile of goop.
Phase 3:
Anub'arak will alternate between Phases 1 and 2 until you've gotten him down to 30% life remaining. Once he's hurt that badly, he'll use his ultimate ability: Leeching Swarm. This will drain 10% of your remaining life per second, which will have him rapidly recuperating. Luckily, you'll have Wound Poison on (you will, right?) and you'll be cutting his healing in half. However, in order to further reduce the amount of health per second he is stealing from the raid, your healers are going to let you die.
Well, not quite die, but they're going to let you get close. 50% life, 40%, even 10% for some elite guilds: you won't be healed until you're at the very brink of death. Don't be afraid, don't pop your healthstone or use a bandaid. You must trust in your healers, as they trust that you won't reroll to the opposite faction to gank them later. You must focus your efforts into destroying Anub'arak as quickly as possible. This is a great phase to save cooldowns and Bloodlust for, as well.
If you're fighting Anub'arak on heroic mode, the adds will also be using an ability called Shadow Strike. It says it has an 8 second cast, but this is often cut in half (or in quarter) by the Spider Frenzy buff. You need to Kick this ability in order to ensure that your tanks aren't completely destroyed by this powerful attack. On normal difficulty, this ability isn't an issue, but it provides an additional challenge for those Rogues on the harder version of the encounter.
With the Trial completed and Anub'arak vanquished, we're ready for our expedition into Icecrown Citadel to defeat Arthas. Take this time to get those few crafted items ready, to examine your gems and enchants for any possible improvements, and to ready yourself for the final encounters of Wrath of the Lich King. There's a ton of great gear in ToC (which will be covered in a later column), so don't forget to start planning your Emblem of Triumph wishlist!

Notre Dame extended its winning streak and season record to12 this afternoon in Indiana with a 12-2 victory over the St. John's University Red Storm. St. John's gave the Irish fits for much of the first quarter, going ahead at the 6:08 mark with a goal from Trevor Michaelson off a feed from Jamal Jones at the back left. Jones was hanging back on the left pipe and Michaelson ran up the center behind the middies to catch and shoot. The Irish recovered with a laser from Neal Hicks, who rocketed the ball past goalie Gavin Buckley to knot the game at 2-2 at 2:43 from 22 yards out. That was the last time it was close for the Red Storm. St John's was interrupting the Irish passing game in the first quarter, forcing errors and knocking down balls sent to the hole. Grant Krebs started the scoring for the Irish at 14:21, moving in off the face off and beating Buckley and the Storm responded.6 minutes later with Harry Kutner hanging back on the left pipe and Bobby Fitton running up the center as a sleeper, coming behind the Irish defensive middies to grab the feed and beat Rodgers to tie the game at 1-1. Rodgers had 10 saves in the game.
The Irish defense was stellar in the next three quarters, shutting down the Storm as they did with Quinnipiac the day before. Zach Brenneman opened the second quarter scoring at 11:54 with a side arm crank from 15 yards out. Shooting from far out was effective in moving ther Storm defense out of the hole. St. John's was packing the center early in the game and preventing the Irihs form accurately passing to a close man. The teams traded possessions and failed to penetrate until the last 3 minutes of the half when Notre Dame erupted, getting three goals in 3 minutes and change. Hicks fed Krebs from back right and Krebs sprinted 7 yards to the goal and put a close one past Buckley's left side while the Irish were in extra-man possession. Krebs then fed Ryan Hoff at 1:06 to go up 5-2 and Peter Christman rolled up high and used an overhand at the 0:38 to put Notre Dame up 6-2. In the third quarter, the teams again traded possessions for the first 8 minutes until Neal Hicks used a nifty underhand feed to Krebs.
Notre Dame went up 8-2 on an extra man opportunity when Christman was the bal up top from right to left and caught Krebs on the left side for his second score and second extra man tally at 11:41. The Irish EMO team converted all its opportunities (2/2) while St. Johns came up empty-handed on their two EMO possessions. Duncan Swezey out in a solo shot using and back and forth roll on the right side until he slipped inside of his defender and threaded the bal between Buckley and the pipe. At 5:47 Swezey was back right and fed Max Pfeifer curling into toward the left pipe to pit Notre Dame up 10-2. Hicks fed Hoff right off the face off and Hoff put it in at 5:34 while charging down the left side to make it 11-2 and freshman Nick Beattie scored a minute later to make it 12-2
Notre Dame travels to Columbus next week to play the Buckeyes in Buckeye Stadium before the Buckeye's spring football game as they try to complete an undefeated regular season..
