Wow. Powerful post Elle. And once again, perfect timing. You have a gift and I for one and so thankful for you!ReplyDeleteReplies
This is a wonderful post. No one could have said it better. God gives us mercy instead of justice. My hold life I pray for the love or mercy of God instead of justice. This is the one thing that has stayed with me through my hard times. Vengeance is not ours but God's. Our trials can do two things for us they will either make us bitter or better. It's our choice we have to make it. I chose better. One day this week I read a post that brought me to my knees laughing. It was about vengeance or getting even. We need to always remember that orange is certainly not the new black. I really liked that. So true. Sometimes you would love to just protect the world from them breathing the good oxygen they are taking up. And then you stop and pray for em and ask God to take over. That you can't go it alone and just knowing that Jesus died for this person that has hurt us just like he did me and everyone else in the world. This changes everything. I told my husband that I wanted to forgive him for what he did to me so just may be he could see the love Jesus in his life and make a change from the inside out. He needs it so badly. God can only forgive us as we can forgive others.Delete
It's interesting that forgiveness is the thing that is probably talked about most in society and religion yet maybe the hardest thing to do. Betrayal cannot be undone and the thought that it might happen again is always central to the relationship even if forgiveness has been in theory given. Another way to look at it is can you uncrack an egg? Some say that you can forgive only after you get through the stages of grief. Trying to skip steps and go straight to forgiveness doesn't really help does it? Anger is part of the process but you can't stay there forever. Much like eating a whole bag of M&M, you eventually just get sick of feeling anger, sadness, and want to move on. Mercy certainly is healthier than revenge but Can it work without therapy?ReplyDeleteReplies
i don't know how it all works, i just know for me i've had to go through all the steps. I had to wade through all the shit. I had to face every crazy emotion and insane thought. Skipping any other steps just seems to whittle away at our self worth. xo and self worth is deeply tied to mercy and forgiveness.Delete
I love this. I'm a big believer in mercy. I wasn't always, I drew hard lines and didn't understand the metamorphosis of change and growth. But then I was gifted mercy for my biggest and smallest mistakes. Mercy is beauty. And I believe that no one holds the key to our second chances at life. No one can give us a second chance, we take them. because i believe the second chance is always there, it's always in front of us waiting to be taken. And so I hope that all who suffer can reach out and take their second chance. Hope is never lost.ReplyDelete

When I first found out about 1 of my husbands affairs (d day was early August 2013), he kept asking me if he should worry about a revenge affair. This is apparently pretty common. I kept telling him no. I guess that sets me apart from him (being a man) as well as many women. I told him my self esteem doesn't need that. I know I can walk into a bar & get some guy to sleep with me. I don't want that.ReplyDelete
The truth is I have thought about it, almost from day 1. But what I thought to myself was that wouldn't be revenge. One of my books said revenge affairs are worse, because they are done to hurt ur spouse whereas their affairs were not meant to hurt us. Nice way to think about it if u want to work on ur marriage.
But the way I thought about it was that's not revenge, because he won't feel what I feel. Making him feel what I feel would be for me to wait 20 years so that he thinks everything is a ok as I did & then have an affair.
But honestly, who can or wants to carry a grudge for 20 years?

Hello Elle, Sam, and EMS. I always enjoy reading what you have to say:) This post really got me thinking. The ow in our case is a habitual liar and quite frankly a con artist. After I discovered my husbands affair with her, it took me about 2 months to use my brain...it was swimming in utter confusion. I first had to come to terms with how toxic she is. You see she was my close friend and his "friend" and coworker. Once I realized that she indeed is an extremely messed up person who really only knows how to use people for her own gain...i could start making rational decisions. Was I angry at her and my husband? Hell yes! I made the decision to show mercy to myself and protect myself and in turn my husband. Luckily he was agreeable and mostly followed my lead. We agreed to cut all ties from this woman, which meant him leaving his job and us leaving our church and pretty much all of our friends. (very entangled situation) I said nothing to everyone one we knew, except for the ow who called me when my husband turned in his resignation letter...btw she was his boss. She said that she understood it was too hard for me to stay around her, to which I replied, "no it is that you and my husband should never have a relationship again in any capacity." He agreed with me on that and even commented on how he no longer "ran into her all the time" at work after that. I made the decision to extend mercy to her and my husband in order to protect my own interests... I did not have to hear an avalanche of bull shit from her and she did not get the opportunity to throw my husband under the bus. My husband is very remorseful and in some ways has received some justice for his behavior. He was out of work for several months and had to take a menial labor job until he could find one in his field. He has told me that he ruined the truth for a lie. So glad that he realizes that now. Does the ow deserve justice? Yes I think so, she suffered zero consequences for her behavior. However, her life is a consequence I guess...she is a sad hurting person, who goes around hurting others. So that is my take on grace. The real person you are showing grace when you extend mercy to others is yourself! JenReplyDelete
Did I need to read this the day you posted it! Thanks. There is no justice in any of this. It can't undo what has been done and certainly will not take away the hurt and loss of trust. What I realize is that my husband will, for the rest of his life, know that he put our marriage and our relationship in jeopardy and he has to live with that knowledge. He will forever be making it up to me. If I were in his shoes, I don't know if I could do what he is doing- being honest (finally), not running away from me when I get angry, learning how to pay attention to me again, and realizing that had he only paid as much attention to me over those 6-8 years as he did her, we would have had something truly special (like we do now). He feels remorseful, sorry, knows he treated me badly, and has said he feels like a failure. And while I'm actually glad when I see him like this because it tells me he does love me, what terrible things to carry around in your soul forever. I hope I can continue to practice mercy (even when there are days I sure wish there could be justice). You have great insight, Elle. I sure appreciate all the help you give us.ReplyDeleteReplies

Mercy. My new favorite word.Delete
I have been pining for justice but that isn't something I have control over. But I'd like to believe there is karma. Continued acts of selfishness, ego and blindness to others are repayed in the scheme of things. But again, not something I want to worry about for him or her. I am trying to keep my karma healthy and commit to living my own life with integrity, mercy, and love. Not easy though but boy is it hard. I am sooo hurt and angry. I fantasize that when I see her I would punch her in the face or spit at her. Not sure if I could keep myself from doing that if I did run into her. But I think her karma (and her carelessness with other people's lives) served up far worse when her child was seriously and permanently injured by her stupidity.
But yeah, mercy....
Thanks for letting this be the place where I can spew out the rage and hate, Elle to make room for the better me.
I thought about karma after I posted. I believe that is what's happening to my husband now- the yin and yang are balancing out. I continue to hope I can remember to be merciful in what I say and do, to apologize and ask for his forgiveness when I need to, and to be compassionate. Some days, that's very hard, and I think to myself, "You made your bed..." (or on nastier days, "Karma's a bitch, ain't it?"). And while I acknowledge his sorrow and remorse, I also know he has to work a lot of this out himself and make peace with himself. I truly believe he has the harder task. His self-esteem is zero, he may be entering a depression, and he needs my love and support to get through this, just like I need his. So I will keep working toward mercy- it's the right thing to do in my case.Delete
PS- I think this forum helps me WAAAY more than my counseling sessions. I'm so glad it's here to help me process all my feelings and issues.

Today is 9 mos. past D-Day for me. I spent the past 3 days in what has become standard behavior for me it seems: a lot of yelling at him, a lot of whys and how could yous, and lots of crying. For me the days before the anniv.date each month are the worst. I have only wanted justice and have said so to him over and over. I didn't feel he should "get away with it" and just be forgiven and loved again. I wanted him to suffer as I have and hurt. It didn't seem appropriate that he should feel anything but guilt and remorse. And I wanted to constantly remind him of how much harm he did and how much he hurt me.ReplyDelete
I don't know why but last night, I felt a little lighter. Somehow the dark cloud I've been living under seemed less ominous and not so much of a burden. And today too I feel a change in me. I still don't feel like I can forgive and certainly can't ever forget, but today I don't have that strong need to condemn him or want to lash out. I am even softer with myself! Not as critical of my imperfect body when I looked in the mirror. I feel more compassion for everything it seems. Yes I still hurt like crazy and can get myself red with anger if I think long enough about it; but perhaps grace (or mercy?) is beginning to soften me and open my heart. I hope I have taken a giant step in the lifelong journey of healing.
This site and all of you who share it have been a necessary part of my life since D-Day. I wish you all goodness.
That's the thing about grace/mercy (same thing, if you ask me): It softens the heart toward ourselves too. As you're noticing, when we offer grace to those who've hurt us, we loosen the expectations of perfection toward ourselves.
You're right in that it doesn't stop the hurt, but perhaps it allows a sliver of light in.
Notice these moments of grace. Acknowledge your ability to just lean into them without being swallowed by pain. Slowly you'll be able to let go of the need for justice and appreciate the ease with which we offer mercy.
I think it is a giant step toward healing. Be prepared for steps backward...but knowing that you can make this leap makes future leaps more likely.
I took a big step backwards today, and who did it hurt? Me. After 15 hours of hanging on to this "thing" which is really not important, and way in the past. Reading this, I think I can show myself some mercy and my husband also gets his by default...next time he will get it on purpose. :)ReplyDelete

I am about 9 months out from Dday and while my current behavior probably feels more like mercy/grace to my husband (since it is an improvement over my anger) I would classify it as indifferent or annoyed. I either don't care one way or the other if he is attending a function with me or home for dinner. I don't really care if he calls or not during the day. I am annoyed by his advances or when he comments positively on my appearance. I said I'd give it a year and while the raging anger has subsided, I don't know if my indifference is an improvement or not. Shouldn't I care? Did anyone else experience this? Is it just a stage of the "process"?ReplyDeleteReplies
This isn't mercy...it's the plain of lethal flatness or the "dead zone". It's numbing. Sometimes it passes on its own but in my experience, I had to fight my way back toward feeling something. I tried EMDR, which struck me as bizarre but actually worked. You could also try more traditional therapy. The fact that you're annoyed strikes me as more passive-aggressive and makes me think that the anger is still there, it's just underground.Delete
So yes, I think you should care. Yes, I think it is part of the process. But I also think it's something you should work toward getting past. Nobody wants a marriage in which you simply co-exist.
- AnonymousAugust 25, 2014 at 9:49 AM
Thanks, Elle. I agree that no one wants a marriage in which they simply co-exist. I am in a holding pattern and I am unsure how to break out. Our marriage counselor "graduated" us from therapy after about 4 months and no one else knows about the situation. I spend a lot of time pretending things are fine (with other people) and have apparently taken on the "fake it until you make it" mantra. I have friends and family that I trust but no one that I would trust with this situation. I feel locked in self-pity and I would say that my behavior being passive-aggressive is probably an accurate assessment. Thank you for listening and for giving honest feedback.Delete
- AnonymousAugust 31, 2014 at 5:32 AM
I too am feeling that same way. I don't really care some days if he calls or texts me. I don't really care if he goes places with me. Most days lately I don't even want to be in the same room with him. I have withdrawn emotionally from him. He has noticed it and commented on it and asked if he can help me, but I really feel like he can't. I think it's all me. I'm 5 months out and now that I think the dust has settled so to speak, everything has been revealed, I'm afraid this is my body telling me that it's over. That I won't be able to get past this. I said I would give it a year and I'm trying. I still love him. I know that, but I feel this anger towards him now that I think could be contributing to the way I'm feeling. At first all my anger was directed at the OW, I think all that has shifted to him. I think too that in a passive aggressive way this is my way of hurting him??? I don't know. I just feel indifferent or annoyed most of the time. At the beginning when it all first came out, I was so determined to "get back what was mine" and I saw him as a victim of this woman too. Now I feel like this is all on him. He did this to me. He broke my soul and I will never be the same. And that angers me!! How dare he think he could do these things to me? I do want my marriage to work, and he is really trying to do everything right. I just am wondering if my current feelings mean that I really don't care anymore deep down. I too was wondering if this was part of the process and if other people have experienced it.Delete
Not caring is not the same as mercy. Quite the contrary. Mercy is caring so much that it hurts but also knowing that the only way through this is forgiveness -- of him but also of ourselves.Delete
Your anger is legitimate. But behind anger is hurt or fear, probably both. You're in pain and terrified that you'll have to experience this again.
Let yourself feel the anger recognizing that it's masking a deeper hurt and fear. Let yourself feel that too. It won't sweep you away. You'll simply feel it...and then the day will come when it will dissipate and in its place will be an acceptance, even a tiny one. We can't unring a bell. But we can move forward.

Anonymous~ we are both at the same time frame of the journey (my DDay 11/21) and I am just now experiencing some grace/mercy. I know exactly what you mean about advances and compliments....I process them as fake & trying too hard and I really don't welcome this (yet). I also gave myself a year to see how I feel as I knew that my feelings along the way have been way too intense to make any important decisions. I know my feelings for him have definitely changed but I don't want to throw away 20 years and do not want to go thru another divorce (this is both our 2nd marriage). So I am just trying to be with this newly found grace and be gentler with myself which is very important. I know I have been hard on me during this: as in, if I had been better he wouldn't have gone looking. You know the thing we do best: blame ourselves if something goes wrong! I think indifference comes from fear of trusting again. Trusting that he is genuine, putting yourself back out there to get hurt again, etc. I know that is an issue for me....and I know I still feel unsure that he really is attracted to me and values this marriage. Time is what we need to heal and trust. I know how important it is that I receive this grace and accept it as it will soften me. I cannot learn to trust or love him if I am boiling in anger. The times I feel that rage coming on, I have to do the trick of mentally holding up a stop sign or getting a broom to sweep the feelings away and replace with pleasantries.ReplyDelete
Lots of work!! But I have learned that I do not want to spend my life cloaked in anger. I hope this helps in some way. Take good care.
- AnonymousAugust 24, 2014 at 8:45 PM
J- Thanks for your insight! I agree that the indifference is probably a symptom of fear and a way to protect myself from being hurt again. If I don't care, it can't hurt me (right?) but I also realize on an intellectual level that if I don't care things won't be repaired in a healthy way. Sometimes I wish this had happened before we had children because my situation would have been a lot easier. Every time I think of leaving, I am forced to play out in my mind exactly what that looks like for the kids and while I know they would survive it would mean selling the house/moving/tons of changes and it makes me so sad for them. My husband is adamant that he wants to work it out but I also process everything he says as fake and trying too hard. I don't blame you on not wanting to divorce a 2nd time and toss out 20 years. I have about half of that invested but he has almost as long invested in lying (even though the affair was more recent) and I don't know how someone who has lied for so long would even know how to recognize the truth so I feel really trapped by my perspective that he may be incapable of telling the truth.Delete
If lying has become a way of life for your husband, then he needs counselling to learn another way. He needs accountability -- someone who will call him on his lies, even little ones. It's the only way you can have some measure of trust in him. I would argue the lying is the biggest problem, not the affair itself.Delete
And I completely hear you re. children. Leaving when children are impacted is not so simple, especially with a spouse who wants to rebuild the marriage. Nonetheless, it's your choice. Kids are resilient and an amiable divorce does far less harm to them.
If, however, you choose to stay, then give it everything you've got. Insist that he get help for himself but give him that space to show you that he can become a better husband. My husband was also a habitual liar. Stupid little things like lying to people about why he was late to a party. It was a lifelong thing, the result of parents who were forever looking for him to mess up so he began lying to protect himself from their disapproval. It becomes habitual. He's changed a lot though I still call him on things (our children do, too, telling him flat-out when he's massaging the truth).
How interesting. I am 8 months out as of yesterday. Miracle number one is that I did not remember it as an anniversary. But we also were "graduated" from therapy because all was going really well! But the moment that happened, something felt terribly wrong. A few day later, he drank, (he has not had a drink since d day) and although he did not get blitzed, he drank and lied about it, when I asked him point blank more than once. It took him a few days to come clean because he wanted to figure out why he did it. I spun into a small depression and 'I don't care' phase for about a week. The worst I have felt in a long time, which is odd since I never thought I would ever be ok again 8 months ago. I have been more than OK I have been pretty damn good for the last few months. But the therapy was not long enough, so we are going back at least monthly, because right now I guess, i feel only accountable to someone else, not my partner, , and my guess is, judging by his behavior, my husband feels the same . We have not learned enough yet. Or at least I haven't. But I am not giving up not yet.ReplyDeleteReplies
So it's a good news/bad news situation. Kudos to you for recognizing just how far you've gone (in a fairly short period of time!). And kudos to your husband for at least wanting to parse out why he did what he did. Is he in any sort of recovery program for his drinking? Does he have an accountability partner or some such?Delete
I think you're wise to go back into counselling. There are clearly some untapped issues. But I think it's also important to note that you weathered this pretty well.
- AnonymousJune 23, 2015 at 9:00 AM
Wonderful post! I remember once saying to my husband, "How can you still respect me when I'm not even making you pay for this? I feel pathetic, you cheat on me, and then you still get to stay with me." And he said no, he respects me even more, because he knows he doesn't deserve another chance, but I've been willing to grant him one anyway. That helped a lot. (Plus I know he is paying for it, really. He pays for it every time he sees me cry and has to remember that he's the one who put those tears there.)ReplyDelete

"Hi everyone at APB-Evolved, we just wanted to quickly say thanks for all your patience recently whilst we've been quietly pushing forward with the development of APB.APB is the brainchild of David Jones, one of the original minds that conceived the Grand Theft Auto series. The game is set around gangland turf wars in a living, breathing MMO city.
We know this can be frustrating for fans, so to show our appreciation we have decided to inform you guys that yes we WILL be at E3 this year and this will mark the start of lots more news, activities and information coming out about APB: All Points Bulletin.
Bryn says: Let's step back for a moment here. All I really want out of APB is a huge massively multiplayer version of Realtime Worlds' Crackdown, honestly. I freaking love Crackdown. So much so, that I think I've bought three different copies of the game so far.
Robocop plus GTA = win.

How often the memory of tho kind feelings and pure example of some re¬ membered monitor has come stealing over onr hearts, half persuading us to forsake the rosy bowers of pleasure, for the peaceful shades, pointed out to us even whilo we were twining its brightest flowers, and reveling gayest in its short-lived sunshine. How many a bright instance on record where one exemplary life has kindled to nobler action myriads of others. How many men as Howard Lutlier and Wilber- fbrce stand eminent in history as ben¬ efactors of the human race. Such lives have been those of many earnest authors of truth. Though speaking tkrough the medium of their pens, their writings so deeply imbued with the living faith, have infuSed new life into dead forma, given to the christian profession a quickened oonscience.higli- er aims and a holier lifo. How many minds poring over their pages, ^havo been impressed with that religion which has for its province the heart, as Well as the intellect have consented to be guided by the bright glory of reve¬ lation, rather than the glow-worm light of nature, and adopit the religion of Christ in preforence to that of Plato. Then, there are others, whose writings, like the ]iei'fume of crushed flowers, come stealing over the heart, appealing so irresistably to the deeper affections of the soul. 'Rich and varied are the pictures presented, making the mind replete with images of beauty and grandeur. In marked contrast to the beneficent influence of these kindred spirits stands that of others. Such as til at of Loui sa of France. Hers might have been a glorious mission, for at that period the reformation began to unfold its energies on tbe soil of hor sunny France.

AHL Game Night 11/23: Falcons at Admirals
Maybe this is the weekend the Admirals make their move after all?
Jonathan Boutin stopped 30 of 32 shots faced in the win. The young netminder has now run his record to 5-2-2 on the season with a 2.57 GAA and .925 save percentage.
First Period
NOR Stewart, (3) (Keller, Jones), 5:12
NOR Campbell, (2) (Klinkhammer, Lawrence), 5:42
NOR Klinkhammer, (1) (Leach, Mihalik), 11:30
NOR Lawrence, (3) (Klinkhammer, Mihalik), 11:46
SPR Thoresen, (12) (Schremp, Syvret), 19:41
Second Period
SPR Sestito, (2) (Schremp, Syvret), 7:43
Third Period
Rob Klinkhammer, Boutin, and Chris Lawrence were the game's three stars.
Norfolk improves its record to 7-10-2 on the season with one more game to go against Springfield this weekend.
Norfolk is now tied with Wilkes/Barre Scranton with 16 points, 2 back of Hershey for the final playoff spot in the division and 3 back of Albany and Binghamton. Once they play Springfield tomorrow night they get back into division play on the road with two games against Albany and then matchups with Binghamton and Hershey, so a winning streak now can flip their fortunes in the division quickly.
Can't look ahead though. Springfield's going to come out flying Saturday night.

Numbers in the Home
Besides the abacus trend we've been noticing, we also see a larger number trend going on, and we think it works great in a home with children learning their numbers.
We've been seeing letters and words on walls and in decor for quite a while now, but numbers can seem a little less "homey" at first. But if you do them in the right way, they'll fit right in and add a little bit of whimsy to your home. So, here's a little bit of inspiration to get you thinking:
• Numbered Stairs and Dresser from Poppies at Play 'Parade of Homes'
• Numbered Bowls and Nesting Bowls from Wisteria

DOVER -- The former chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party is spearheading a new group backing immigration reform.
Dover resident Fergus Cullen recently announced the formation of Americans By Choice, an advocacy group pushing for new policies that include a guest worker program and a path for some illegal immigrants to remain in the country legally.
With a new political consensus developing in Washington D.C. around immigration reform, Cullen said he hopes the group will be able to create space for conservatives to take pro-reform positions in the coming months.
"For too long, the most public voices on immigration on the right were those that were very strident and, typically ... anti-immigrant," he said. "The message they were sending was 'We don't really like you. We would really prefer that you to go back to where you came from.'"
Americans By Choice is seeking a designation from the Internal Revenue Service as a non-profit advocacy group, known as a 501(c)(4). The group has a "center-right" political tilt, and has drawn support from many business leaders who are naturalized Americans, Cullen said.
It also enjoys the support of some Democrats, Cullen said, including former New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman George Bruno, who served as U.S. Ambassador to Belize under President Bill Clinton.
Immigration reform has surfaced as a wedge issue among Republican voters in both of the last two presidential cycles. In 2008, candidate Mitt Romney invoked immigration to turn primary voters away from John McCain, Cullen said. And Romney followed the same playbook while facing a primary challenge from Texas Gov. Rick Perry last year, he said.
Inflammatory rhetoric on immigration has hurt the Republican party's image, Cullen said, citing the experience of his own parents, who were Irish immigrants.
"When I hear the rhetoric that sometimes is used by too many Republicans, I could hear how jarring it would be to people like my parents, and also millions of voters," he said.
Reforming immigration could be a boon to conservatives, but Americans By Choice is primarily focused on policy rather than politics, Cullen said.
The group is backing reform in three major areas. The first is an overhaul of the country's visa program. Currently, a quota system based on nationality restricts the number of immigrants who are admitted into the country, Cullen said. He's calling for reforms that would help highly-educated workers stay in the United States -- particularly those with expertise in science, technology and engineering.
Similar proposals have already won support among both Democrats and Republicans.
"That's the low-hanging fruit," Cullen said.
The group is also calling for a new guest worker program, which would primarily accommodate low-skill workers employed in fields like agriculture and the hospitality industry.
The group's third policy proposal is a "pragmatic and reasonable approach" to resolving the residency status of the millions of illegal immigrants in the country.
Many on the left have called for Congress to offer immigrants new pathways to citizenship. Americans By Choice hasn't adopted that position. Instead, the group is pushing for measures that would allow immigrants to gain legal status without being granted full citizenship.
Citizenship rights, such as voting, are "not high priorities" for many illegal immigrants who are already in the United States, Cullen said.
The question of citizenship is among the most contentious issues facing lawmakers in Washington this month.
In the wake of last year's presidential election, both the White House and Congress have developed a new concentration on immigration reform issues.
In his State of the Union address last week, President Barack Obama renewed his call for sweeping legislation that includes a pathway to citizenship for the nation's estimated 11 million illegal immigrants.
Meanwhile, a bipartisan group of eight senators has been meeting to develop a bill that accomplishes eventual citizenship for illegal immigrants while also containing enough border security and enforcement measures to gain conservative support.
The leadership of Americans By Choice includes Manchester immigration attorney Ron Abramson, who served as the state's Commercial Consul to Chile under Gov. John Lynch. Abramson is also a founding board member of the group Vote Now New Hampshire Hispanics. He became an American citizen after leaving Chile as a teenager.
Also active in the group are: New Hampshire State Rep. Marilinda Garcia, a Salem Republican; Kristina Lenzi, a Barrington resident and Lithuanian native who has worked in two U.S. embassies; and Marian Noronha, founder and president of Turbocam, a precision manufacturing company based in New Hampshire.
Cullen said Americans by Choice is keeping a national focus, and working now to raise funds. He doesn't anticipate that the group will be active in funding political campaigns, but he left the possibility open for the future.
"If there are Republican candidates out there in primaries who think it's to their political advantage to use nativist, jingoistic, anti-immigrant rhetoric, I have no hesitation about calling them out on that ..." he said. "It's wrong on the policy, and it can't be tolerated. And in addition to that, it's been terribly damaging to the Republican brand."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Have fun Norma!! Great place to visit .Lots of recommendations here in the restaurant section for your review you may be reading them until you go John
Norma, Im so jealous! Johns is across the street from keste and would offer a taste of coal oven style (keste is neapolitan style). I like to get a pie from both and share if I have time. Also close by are some really good slice joints like Joe's. Difara's is a good haul from Keste. If you do get all the way out there make sure you visit the collucio store for ingredients as its very close to Difaras. Try their olive oil if you go there. Great tomato/cheese/meat selection as well and they sell san felice flour.
oh...your parking in queens. I would have a very tough time not getting some indian food over there too. Some of the best I have had (and i've spent a decent amount of time in london). I love eating my way through NY!
Also close by are some really good slice joints like Joe's.
Norma, if you get a chance, try a slice from Joe's. You won't have much of a wait and you'll be able to get a single slice so it won't contribute much to your pizza overload. Since you're a slice purveyor yourself, you really should try a decent slice place like Joe's. As far as Manhattan goes, Joe's is up there, although it's probably lost some luster since I was there last (about 8 years ago). I've never been to Mack's, and I'm not much of a cheddar believer, but I still get the feeling Mack's is probably a few notches above Joe's. As you leave Manhattan, one finds a lot of places better than Joe's. Since you'll be in the neighborhood, though, you should try a slice.
If I was going to NY,NY, I'd have to stop by Katz's Deli and get their reuben or pastrami on rye. Or at least bring home a gift package. Just look at this baby!!! http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Katz's_Deli_-_Lunch.jpg
Oh yeah (if you even check here before venturing out for the day)....beware Murray's Cheese on Bleeker Street, which is very close to Keste, John's and Joe's.Avoid peeking inside of here.....unless you want to get drawn into an excellent selection of hard to find cheeses from all over the world and other lovely food items in here. It's easy to get spellbound in such places and watch an hour of time just zoom by while gazing and tasting like a kid in a candy store! Luv it
Within blocks of Keste:Bleeker Street Pizza -- nonna slice is goodKesteJohn's of BleekerJoe's on Carmine Street -- slice with fresh mootzPizza Box -- 3 blocks East of Joe's, across 6th ave on Bleeker Street b/t MacDougal & Sullivan. Solid NY StyleASTORIA, QUEENSSac's Place on Broadway at 29th I think (Broadway stop on N&Q lines) makes decent coal fired pizzaIn the northern part of Brooklyn, not too far from AstoriaG Train takes you to Paulie Gee's in Greenpoint (Greenpoint Ave stop) and Motorino Brooklyn (Metropolitan Ave stop)Since you are doing Keste, if you can get over to Motorino East Village, you'll have an awesome 1-2 punch of Neapolitan style pizza. Both places are killer (Brussels Sprouts & Pancetta pizza at MEV is a head turner)DiFara on a Saturday afternoon is likely gonna be a time killer (both subway time and waiting on-line), unless you arrive about 30 mins before DeMarco opens (which I recommend heartily) so you can get in and out without burning 2 hours on-line.I second Indian food. Flushing, Queens has some very good Indian food...and a life without good Indian food is a little bit sadder indeed.HAVE A GREAT AND FUN DAY!!
At least it is a nice day and I will get to see my other daughter and grandson.
Sounds like a winner....whatever else happens!Norma, are you done for the winter season at Roots Market or are you still there most weekends?Thanks --K
Since Norma is not home from N.Y. yet, I'll go ahead and answer. Root's is a Tuesday only market, open year round.

Trend Spotting at ICFF: Modern Luxe
The International Contemporary Furniture Fair, where designers gather to show off their latest and greatest to buyers and journalists, is a sign of what's to come in the world of modern housewares. On the horizon: rich materials, like gold and marble, used in new, unexpected ways, for a look that's clean but luxurious.
Shown above:
1 & 2. The humble mortar and pestle goes glam with a traditional shape, re-imagined in wood and glass by Norwegian designer Sara Gressberg.
3. Lately I can't get enough of velvet upholstery, and this clean-lined sofa from Sandback really hit the spot. It's even more beautiful in person — almost exactly the color of the dress Scarlett O'Hara made from her mother's curtains.
4 & 5. This is the Rudi light from Roll & Hill. I love the cord detailing at the top.
6. A sleek marble sink with a concealed drain from AF New York.
7. In the hands of designer Payton Turner of Flat Vernacular Wallpapers, metallics keep a traditional print from being too cutesy.
8 & 9. Swallows, captured in different phases of flight, make an elegant way to mark the time. New from Haoshi Design.
10. A shiny table and a rich wooden chair are natural partners at Autobahn.
11. This concrete tape dispenser from Japanese designer Tatsuya Akita is glamorous and modern, with a pleasing heft.
12 & 13. The scamp table from Blu Dot comes in many color combinations, but the copper wires/marble top is my favorite.
14. This little gold heart vase from The New English would look lovely with or without flowers.
15. A marble and lucite table from Ztem Stone Creations.
16 & 17. I loved this table from Groundwork — it's marble with a modern feel. The butterfly joints rendered in marble are a fun detail.
18. A rattan-handled tea service: modern with a touch of old-world kitsch, from British designer Nick Munro.
19. This design reminds me a bit of the Sputnik chandeliers suddenly cropping up all over, but this is a bit of a cleaner take. From Apparatus.
20. At Guild Nines, a George Nelson-esque bench gets updated with gold legs.
21 & 22. The Work Lamp by Design House Stockholm is available in either silver or gold.
23. From John Housman, a dining chair that pairs lucite and wood.
24 & 25. Marble and wood 'Duplex' table from Phase Design. Yellow coffee table book and bird not included (as far as I know).

Application performance specialist Riverbed Technologies launched its Stingray Services Controller, a new platform for application delivery controller-as-a-service, or ADCaaS.
Riverbed said the new ADCaaS platform can automate the deployment of application delivery services for virtually any network architecture, including software-defined networks. The new platform is being targeted largely at cloud providers and enterprises with private cloud deployments looking for the ability to provision, scale and deploy ADC on an as-needed basis.
Stingray works, Riverbed said, by shaking up the traditional ADC deployment model, whereby a shared ADC infrastructure must support multiple applications. With Stingray, the company said, it's possible to deploy an "ADC per application" model, meaning more agility and higher levels of automation.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (March 21, 2010) - The ETSU men's and women's track and field team wrapped up its first outdoor meet of the season this weekend, competing in the largest field on the east coast at the 2010 Shamrock Invitational, hosted by Coastal Carolina inside Doug Shaw Stadium.
The meet, which included 38 universities and 1,280 athletes, was a good way to see where the Bucs ranked early on in the season.
On Saturday, the ETSU jumpers stole the show, as freshman Ryan Beaver (Virginia Beach, Va.) placed third in the long jump and tied for eighth in the triple. Beaver posted a leap of 7.13m in the long jump and recorded a mark of 14.39m - tying him with UNC-Wilmington's Craig Williams for eighth.
Meanwhile, sophomore Cornell Sneed (Miami, Fla.) finished 10th in the discus on Saturday - recording a toss of 43.61m. Also, freshman Les Gilbert (Franklin, Tenn.) blasted his personal best in the javelin by letting one soar 52.09m.
On the track, junior Mike James (Palm Bay, Fla.) advanced to the finals in the 110mH, and finished fifth overall. The Palm Bay, Fla. native clocked in at 14.52.
On the women's side, Kelly Monteleone (Verona, Pa.) finished ninth in the triple jump after recording a leap of 11.66m.
"I am very pleased with the results from both Ryan and Kelly," commented assistant coach Eli Sunquist. "Both of them are jumping really well right now, and we look to build off these efforts as the season continues."
The Bucs' track and field team returns to action next weekend when ETSU competes at the Western Carolina Catamount Classic. The two-day meet kicks off on Friday, March 26.

How To Sew a 5-Minute Pillow Cover
Pillow covers are a simple, low-commitment way to change up the look of a room. We've made this style of cover for our throw pillows for years. They slip on and off through an overlapped opening in the back, they look clean and simple, and they're a cinch to make:
What You Need
Equipment [OR] Tools
sewing machine
measuring tape or ruler
1. Measure and cut a rectangle from your fabric according to the pillow size. Size the rectangle with the following formulas:
L = (pillow size x 2) + 4"
W = pillow size + 2"
So, our rectangle for this 12x12 example pillow is 28 x 14.
2. Hem the two short ends of the rectangle.
3. Fold one short end toward the center of the rectangle, with the "finished side" of the hem facing down. The length of the fold should follow this formula:
X = (pillow size / 2) + 2"
So, for our example, this folded portion is 8" long.
4. Fold the opposite short end toward the center. The length of this folded portion should also be 8". This will create roughly a square, with two folded sides and two open sides. The hemmed edges of the fabric will overlap by 2" at the center of the square..
5. Sew shut the two open sides of the square.
6. Turn the cover right-side-out through the overlap at the center.
7. Insert the pillow through that same overlap.
8. You'll want to iron the cover once it's complete — a step we obviously didn't do in this example! This will flatten the hemmed edges and smooth the seams, making the results look more finished.

Fizik's Bar Gel with Tape is a great way to make every ride more fun and comfortable. The gel adds excellent padding and protection thanks to Fizik's Technogel — the same material that's found in their world-class saddles. Plus, the pro-quality tape is constructed from Microtex, a perforated synthetic-leather-like material that's durable, stretch resistant, breathable, smooth and comfortable to the touch, even when wet.

My first impressions of this system were all very possitive, but after a few 80+ mile rides with a lot of climbing (4,000 ft +) the edges are already starting to curl enough I am replacing the tape with Torelli Moda Chunky - the tape my bike mechanic & riding partner has had on his bike for 3 years now. I have had the Fi:zik system on for a month, and have only 300 miles or so on it. As much as I like the gel strips, (they are easy to custom cut and install and WON'T burn through with hot-spots) they aren't quite enough for centuries. We are experimenting with Dr Scholl's memory foam insoles wrapped over the bottom of the bar for double-centuries as the gel is still a little too hard for rides longer than 8 hours, but is a great "bottoming" layer for memory foam. (which compresses under high pressures areas to spread hot-spots over a larger area) In summary, get the Fi:zik bar gel kit and use Cinelli or Torelli tape. It's a few bucks cheaper, a whole lot more durable, and offers better protection.

Have you recovered from Dreamforce 2012? Next week I'll be at Oracle Open World talking about cloud integration and to be honest, I'd much rather write about the Marc Benioff show than register for Larry's World at this point. (Although, I do wonder if we'll see the 2nd tweet from Mr. Ellison and what his position will be on all things cloud this year. Remember the @Benioff boot out last time around? Some classic tweets.
I guess like a lot of people you could say I'm stuck in the PDC (Post Dreamforce Cloud) at this point. I've been spending time in the Dreamforce Chatter org reviewing sessions, watching YouTube videos and reading a plethora of blogger opinion about the conference (see links below). Sound familiar?
To bring back some of the #DF12 energy, today I hosted a webinar focused on some of the Dreamforce data management highlights. The presentation congratulated the 2012 Informatica Cloudy Award winners and featured live demonstrations of two of the hottest topics at the Informatica booth:

Four professional truck drivers have been named finalists for the 29th North America Highway Hero Award, presented by Goodyear.
Each of the finalists is very deserving of the award. The finalists put their own lives at risk to save the life of a stranger, making each of them a true hero.
"The Highway Hero Award recognizes professional truck drivers who put their lives on the line to help others," said Phillip Kane, vice president, Goodyear Commercial Tire Systems. "Each of our Highway Hero finalists rescued strangers who were in life-threatening peril, and each is a worthy candidate for the award."
The winner will be named March 22 at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville. A specially designed ring, a plaque, and a cash award will be presented to the winner with the other finalists receiving a plaque and cash award, Goodyear said.
The four finalists:
John Crozman of Albertville, Minn., who drives for Long Haul Trucking. While driving down a rest stop access road near Summit, S.D., in the middle of a severe snowstorm, Crozman noticed a candle flickering inside a car that was parked on the side of the highway. Fighting sub-zero winds, Crozman walked to the car and found an elderly couple inside. Ill-equipped for the dangerous weather, they had been trapped in the car for more than four hours. Crozman led the shivering man and woman to his truck and let them spend the night in his warm sleeper cab. The next day, he made sure they were safe and their car was rescued before continuing along his route. Authorities noted that the severely low temperatures could have been deadly to the couple if not for Crozman's actions.
Melville Farnell of Shelburne, Ontario, a driver for Tupling Farms Produce Inc. Farnell was making a delivery on May 13, 2011, when a car that was traveling in the opposite direction veered into the path of his truck and slammed into it head-on. The impact caused Farnell's tractor-trailer to jack knife. Diesel fuel began leaking onto the highway. Though shaken, Farnell approached the car, which had come to a stop in a ditch, and observed a semi-conscious male in the driver's seat. Farnell, who weights 165 lbs., broke the driver's side window and pulled the much heavier motorist to safety. Minutes later, the car exploded. Farnell was credited with saving the motorist's life by acting swiftly and putting his own life in danger just before the explosion.
John Neumeier of Russia, Ohio, who drives for Bohman Trucking. Neumeier was loading his milk delivery truck around 9 p.m. on Nov. 14, 2011, when a car driving down a nearby road missed a curve and plunged into an eight-foot-deep pond. As the car began to sink, Neumeier looked to see if anyone was inside and he could see the driver's cell phone light. Knowing he had little time to waste, he grabbed a large wrench, dove into the pond, and beat on the driver's side window until it broke. Neumeier pulled the driver, a 65-year-old man, out by his feet and hauled him to shore. The man was taken away by ambulance.
Mike Schiotis of Seville, Ohio, a driver for Panther Expedited Services Inc. On Nov. 1, 2011, Schiotis was driving to his destination in Pennsylvania when he saw a woman walking with a man close behind her. Thinking they were injured, he slowed down and observed that the man was pointing a gun at the woman. Schiotis stopped his truck and the woman began pounding on his door, screaming, "Help me! He's going to kill me!" Schiotis jumped out of his truck and positioned himself between the woman, who was bleeding from the head, and her assailant. He helped the woman into his rig and decided to take her to the next truck stop.
The gun-carrying man got back in his car and began to follow Schiotis' truck, which continued along the interstate instead of stopping. Schiotis notified the Pennsylvania State Highway Patrol, then used his CB radio to tell other truckers in the area about what was transpiring. Another driver, who was behind Schiotis' 18-wheeler, heard him and decided to help. Together, they drove side-by-side, weaving back and forth to prevent the gunman from closing in on Schiotis' tractor. This gave troopers time to catch up with the man and apprehend him.

So, if you are anywhere in the world except for California or Florida, you are probably snowed in today. Enough of winter! This has been a really cold one for Texas and I'm ready for summer and sunshine and beaches. Last week I showed apartments to rent while in Paris, but really, wouldn't you whether rent a house in Provence and pretend you are Vicki Archer? I know I would! Here is an assortment of houses to rent. There seems to be more cuter houses available than apartments. I could have shown about 50 great houses today. I tried to pick a variety of houses there were large and small, and with views and no views so you could pick what you really would want in a rental. Enjoy!
This villa, available HERE, Bastide Lavande, is surrounded by lavender fields. The mas is so pretty – who cares what it looks like inside?
Actually, the inside is nice: tiled floors, seagrass, and antique country French antiques! I love the dining room and how it opens to the outside through true French doors.
Gorgeous fireplace and mirror! Notice the cute side table on the right. I wish I owned a hundred of those tables!
The view outside the living room looks over the acreage, 20 acres around the house and over 1,000 around the estate.
Outside the house is a large graveled terrace that overlooks the estate.
And a large swimming pool, surrounded by stone walls.
Six bedrooms and five bathrooms. Notice the French doors and the hardware.
Another cute bathroom.
This house has it all. A large property, views, old fashioned house, and pretty interiors.
L'Ambiance HERE is located within walking distance to the town of Goult and is considered a townhouse.
The property is on 1 1/2 acres and has a beautiful garden with fountains and a swimming pool.
The swimming pool is set into a stone wall.
The house is filled with beautiful antiques inside and out.
The 17th century farmhouse is a rarity in the town with its acreage.
The beautiful wood door opens up to the house.
The house is stunningly decorated, one of the best ones I saw. I just know an American owns this house! I love the silk pillows, the painting, the tea table, and the fireplace!
Limestone floors and stucco walls. The mantel is gorgeous.
Authentically French!
You can see into the dining room here. Such pretty antique tables.
The kitchen is every bit as pretty as the rest of the house.
Precious! I love the wood carvings over the beds. The house is small with only 3 bedrooms and baths. Notice the gorgeous night stand.
Another bedroom, perfectly furnished. Darling chair. Notice the small niche next to the bed.
Each bedroom has a small sitting area.
The master bedroom is so pretty with its fireplace and painting and sconces. The bathroom is through the arched door.
The master bathroom. I love all the wood cuttings in the house. I just love the way this house is decorated.
Great bathtub!
Another sitting room. Cute child's chair.
The wine cellar.
Another view of the swimming pool. I think I might have to pick this house to rent. I'm more into the interiors than the location and I love the way this is decorated! But, this one is basically a town house and not out in the country with sweeping views. Does that matter to you?
The next mas, Les Vignes, is located within walking distance from the medieval town of Goult, seen here on the property, through the clouds.
The stone house is small with just 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and is reasonably priced.
The graveled terrace sits next to the arched French doors that once probably led into the barn.
The terrace, looking the other direction towards the pool.
The swimming pool is set within stone walls.
Notice the charming stone pool house.
Inside the house, the living room is charming and cozy.
The kitchen is adorable with all the skirts in lieu of cabinet doors.
Another view of the kitchen shows the pantry and the arched ceiling.
Notice the large column on the left that holds up the ceiling.
There is a mix of French antiques throughout the house.
One of the four bedrooms, in white and linen.
The remodeled bath – love the window!
Another bedroom with antique iron bed.
The grounds are so charming and beautiful.
Les Lignes would be perfect for a small family – I really like this one too. It's got views and a cute interior, yet close to a town.
Villa Le Relais is in the Luberon Village, located HERE, and has 4 new bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and a new kitchen.
Here, the living room/dining room. Notice how the walls are painted two colors to simulate wainscoting.
The dining area with antique buffet.
Looking up at the second floor balcony.
Beautiful arched windows.
The table set for dinner.
The newly built kitchen.
You can see the living/dining room through the doorway in the kitchen.
The terrace runs from the kitchen to the living room.
Typical French checked fabric and limestone floor.
Another bedroom, the faux wainscot is painted throughout the house.
A typical tiled bathroom.
Villa Le Relais overlooks the terrace and the swimming pool.
The terrace next to the swimming pool past the stone wall.
The swimming pool. Small, nice furniture, with views, but in some photos it seems like the neighbors are close by.
Mas des Pierres HERE near Avignon has five bedrooms and five baths. Here, the traditional gravel terrace sits next to the converted barn door.
This 17th century farm has been recently remodeled.
Overlooking the grounds.
This house is furnished with antiques. Unfortunately, many of the pictures were too small to show here.
The large living room and dining room in one space.
A corner of the living room/dining room.
The kitchen is so wonderful and authentic!
One of the bedrooms. All the bedrooms are charming, decorated in typical Provincial style.
One of the bathrooms, traditional, not contemporary.
The terrace at Mas des Pierres. The house is traditional with antiques, five bedrooms, and with a nice property and view. Do you want something more modern or traditional?
Bastide Vallat HERE is located in Luberon Provence.
The 7 bedroom and 7 bathroom mas has recently been completely redone. It is very large and luxurious and very expensive to rent.
There is a "garden kitchen" and an outside eating area.
The furnishings are modern and there are very few, if any, antiques. The bar area sits behind the sofa.
The bar area. The remodeling is first rate. There are beautiful wood French doors throughout and the floors are limestone.
The stone walls were kept exposed.
The kitchen is amazing – set within the stone wall arches.
All of the bedrooms have sitting areas. This one is huge!
In this bedroom, the sitting area is behind the bed.
A designer obviously was hired to completely furnish the mas. All the rooms flow together in a cohesive design.
Notice the charming small windows set into the stone walls on the right.
The bathrooms are all luxurious.
Each is fitted out with robes and towel warmers.
This spa bathroom with a steam room and massage tables is located next to the gym.
Of course there is a wine cellar!
A private sunbathing terrace.
Of all the houses, this one is most decorated and extravagant. It is also the most contemporary. Would you rather rent a smaller, more charming mas or a larger, more contemporary one like this with all the bells and whistles?
Fleurs de Provence HERE in Alpinnes Provence is the largest house and the most expensive. It has 10 bedrooms and 9 baths.
The grounds are large and beautifully landscaped especially during lavender blooming season.
There is also a tennis court, seen in the upper left corner.
The terrace overlooks the grounds and has its own fireplace.
The mas has been completely renovated. It has a mixture of antiques and traditional furniture.
Despite its size and cost, the interiors are not dressy.
The breakfast room is the most charming one in the house.
There is a completely fitted out kitchen.
The stairs.
A large bedroom. The furnishings seem lacking when comparing the property and the landscaping.
Another bedroom.
All the bathrooms are tiled like this.
Fleurs de Provence is a beautiful house and its grounds are wonderful, but the furnishings seem ordinary. Would that be important to you? Would you rather have the grounds or the furniture or both?
La Belle de Crillon HERE literally hangs off the cliff overlooking the town of Crillon le Brave.
It has six bedrooms and six baths. There are incredible views from each room in the house.
The house is four stories, but there is an elevator inside!
The views are incredible from this mas. The swimming pool is at the bottom level.
Completely remodeled and refurbished, the house is elegant and somewhat dressy.
Stone floors and stucco walls, the house is professionally designed.
The large dining room has beautifully painted walls.
What a range!!
The tiled floors are beautiful.
Another bedroom with tiled floors.
Charming bathroom with footed tub.
Every salon and bedroom share this view of the countryside. This house almost has it all, the size, the elegance, the view, the furnishings – but there is no large property. Would that be important when choosing a house to rent? Would you care if there was only a small area outside to sit and enjoy the sweeping views?
To view more beautiful houses and pick your own dream rental, these two companies have a large selection:
And this reminder about the Urban Market next weekend - don't forget they are at a new location!!!!! Check out their website to read where it is: www.theurbanmarkethouston.com
finally, my sister just sent me this hysterical You Tube video about our huge "snow day" in Houston! It would be funny if it wasn't so true, every word of it!!!!

Flying for TeamUp, pilot Leah Dunn and co-pilot Joan Evert will use SunState's plane to compete in the 2,681-mile, cross-country race, starting in Arizona and ending in Ohio.
"Joan and I are excited to raise funds for the Science and Discovery Center of Northwest Florida by competing in the ARC. We hope to create an interactive aviation exhibit where students have an exciting link between the classroom and the real world," says Dunn. "We're thrilled to be flying SunState's plane. They take tremendous care of their aircraft, so we're in a good position to have a fantastic race!"
Flying a Garmin G1000-equipped Cessna Skyhawk 172S, TeamUp will race against 55 other fixed-wing aircraft. The pilots are given four days, flying in daylight hours, to reach the end point. The goal of the race is to achieve a "perfect" cross-country flight by having each aircraft's speed during the race exceed their previously recorded handicap speeds.
Beginning in 1929, the ARC has celebrated women pilots by showcasing talented female flyers and encouraging education in general aviation. Both Dunn and Evert are proud grandmothers, with Dunn having learned to fly after the age of 50.
"Joan and I both encourage women to never stop pushing themselves and always take on new challenges," says Dunn.
