I'm falling in love … but he's marriedBella - Thursday, July 29th, 2010 at 9:42 AM
Dear Bella: I don't know what to do. I met this really nice guy and he is married, but the thing is he doesn't have a relationship with his wife at all.
They live together and they have kids, but they don't have a relationship. They have been having problems long before I came in the picture.
He is really, really nice and I think that he has fallen for me, and I have fallen for him too. He will tell me that I light up his life and things like that and the thing is I believe him because he is an honest man. He told me that he wants to get out of the relationship, but it's hard because of his kids. The kids don't know that he and his wife are don't have any relationship, and he is worried about them. I don't know what to do because I am falling for him too. I need some advice please. Thanks.
Dear JB,
Just because you claim that he and his wife has no relationship is no justification for you to get intimately involved with him. Saying that "they have no relationship" does not extract from the fact that they are still married. It's true sometimes you can't help who you fall in love with, but you can take steps that will not allow you to get into deep.
You are only contributing to this man's marriage demise. You should be encouraging and advising him to try to work things out with his wife, instead of embracing his compliments about you lighting up his life. What you need to do is to end this intimate emotional relationship with him, if it has not gone further than that, I hope, and if it has end it anyways. Besides it is adultery and you've already opened the path for an adulterous relationship.
I'm sure there are many single guys out there with less drama than which you have involved yourself in right now. If the marriage should end let it not be because of anything you did.

Dear J.B: If you want to do the right thing you have no choice because here is only one right way to go. If you don't care about doing the right thing and all that matters to you is taking a risk for the chance of having a good time for a while then you will pursue this man no matter what anybody tells you. But if you want to avoid a disaster and take the high road here are a few things you should consider. (1) You have no proof this man doesn't have a relationship with his wife. (2) This is the lie men use most often to deceive other women so they will have a sexual relationship with them. The more often a man tells this lie the better he gets at it and the more convincing he becomes! (3) Even good marriages have highs and lows depending on many things such as the health of each partner, job problems, family income, the behaviour and discipline of children, etc. These things change with the passing of time. A good man will stay with his wife and work through the problem or problems. This is what marriage counselors are for. Many church pastors are trained in counseling and are happy to help couples who are sincere in their desire to save their marriages. (4) Would you want to be in a relationship with a man who had left his wife and children to be with another woman? Don't you think he would leave you if (a) he met somebody he liked better, or (b) he became lonely for his children, or (c) you started getting on his nerves, or (d) you became ill? Believe me J.B., there is NO security in his kind of relationship. His children will grow up resenting you. His parents, sibblngs, etc. (if he has any) will detest you. (5) J.B., you can do better. Take time to make yourself the kind of woman a good man – the kind of man you would be be proud to introduce as your husband – would want for a wife! This is worth the effort. It is no fun being in a relationship you hope nobody finds out too much about, or you have to always be explaining or making excuses for! Begin attending the services at a Bible believing church here you will meet happy people and listen to teaching and preaching that will help you become woman of honor!

lmao very loudly….you all are naive and quick to judge chocolate and hypocrite this is sweet pum pum and we have some sad and bitter-don't know -how to hold on to your husbands women out there you can hear the desparation and feel the venom in their stings I give you two props. There are cases where some men are trapped into marriages and are very unhappy and find comfort in the arms of the outside woman…jb surprisingly despite all the crap you are hearing your married boyfriend may very well genuinely love you he is not perfect no one is…we all make mistakes he may leave his wife for you…some of those single men out there are worst and have nothing more to offer you..out of the frying pan into the fire. Because he is married does not mean he does not deserve the happiness that he can probably find with you..who knows what the story with the wife is ? some of these women treat their husbands very nastily. In as much as there may
be some womanizers…All married men are not just out to get into your pants some are really hurting from some bad marriages… and no one should not be given that kind of life sentence…
neither man nor woman….No one is anyone's piece of property…and once again wives are not always the innocent victims in the marriage…too many of you all have that sh*&@t all wrong…
think again…
thief u are after what u will get forgotten his wife was there through his sruggles and besides if he is a man even at cheating should respect his wife so stop wrecking homes and see how Gods punnishment dont break your neck when u get old no one will be by yourside u end up with 6 unwanted kids and no father and your children will follow the foot step dominican cheap girl break the curses that has been dooming yo all for long most of you are from wrecked home products , ypur mothers break peoples relationships to make u all break the curses get your own hussy and make your own home dont be a thief.
i love this comment!!! thats the down right truth!sum men likewise the women,are really unhapy in marriages and who wants to be unhappy??consider being married for 40yrs to sum1 and pure heavy heart and unhappiness through it all.i think the Almighty Creator prefer see us happy and living in love and peace on earth dan being even in a marriage whre we always unhappy and down in spirit and unable to fullfill even the purpose he has for us.in children case,better they see parants seperate and happy than 2gther and unhappy bcuz it will rub off to them.
I really liked what you said there R. Makes perfect sense. I think some people are really quick to judge not knowing what the real situation is. Only looking at one side of the story. A lot of people are all about "morals" and doing what everyone considers "right". But it's not ever about pleasing everyone else around us, it's alright if you too are happy about it, but why please others when you yourself aren't happy?

do you know why the wife must be treating him so? poor excuse to justify the action.some husband lie on their wife to gain sympathy.what he do to his wife he will surely do to you.He is a coward ,wants to have his cake and eat it.
Rev. Donald Hill February 1, 2013
People who condone adultery are as bad as those who commit the sin. Would you also ignore the commandment "Thou shalt not kill"? or "Thou shalt not covet"? If not how do you decide which of the ten commandments to obey and which to disobey? If so you are dangerous people! Do you not know that these sins attract demons which cause outbreaks of paranormal activity, some types of mental illness, increase criminal activity, and drive up the suicide rate? The Bible says "Righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is a reproach to any people." Soon Jesus Christ will take His place upon the restored throne of King David in Jerusalem and rule the nations of the world. In that day all mankind will enjoy the peace and joy that comes from living in obedience to the once despised and crucified Jewish carpender while those who rejected Him are consigned to outer darkness. Those who trust Christ now and live for Him enjoy the first fruits of the coming age. We invite you to come aboard with us! There is room for all. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (St. John 3:16) The promise takes you in! Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Pentecostal Evangelist.
@chocolate: Young lady, please learn to spell. I hope your IQ is not as bad as your spelling because your advice sure is. Whether or not the man has a relationship with his wife is of little relevance here. The fact remains that nothing is going to come from this relationship because his commitment lies with his wife and all the young lady will ever be is a side fling. When he's done with her he'll move on to the next one. We all have a right to make our choices but we have a right to choose wisely too.
it doesnt matter wat pple try to do or say if its to last it will and if its already broken up nuttn they try will eva mend it. it mite 4 a period a time but it will still end. and to sum of the wives out there alyo like to tlk bout keep from "we husbands" but then alyo still aint showin him d love and attention that he needs thats y he hv to go out on you. seems like that only last 4 a while and thats the honeymoon wen that done is down d drain
Why all this tay la la over a man?! Men dont give a shit- they will sleep with you, your sister, your brother, your mother, your father, your apple and even your tomato. So when women are busy getting headache over their so called man- he will too busy thinking of his next experimentation on a cucumber rather than trying to please u and trying to make the relationship work- thus respecting you, your feelings, your love and emotions. Please women- dnt get headache over something you think you know.
Well said…. i am a man, with a male brain and i agree… those girls need their state of denial surgically removed and reality transplanted into every fiber of their spirit…. think about it. after all this waste of life, and no promise of any future with someone's husband, what is the future husband of this woman going to get?
I support hypocrite, it's not all married homes are happy homes. If his home was such a happy home why would he be seeing JB since 2004. Some wives need to make changes in their lives instead of fighting with who/whom their husbands sleeps with. Wives please start by demanding respect from your husband. If he has been out there that long then something is wrong. Truth is as sad as it is, a lot of men and women stays in marriages because of kids. People please stop that the only ones being hurt in the process are the kids and by the time the kids make it to adulthood and most of your lives has been wasted that's when your kids says "You should have divorced daddy long time." Husbands and wives there is always someone better out there, so stop settling for less. Yes! the man might be a liar or he might be telling the truth no one knows but him. None of us knows if he indeed has genuine feelings for this young lady and despises his wife. What is marriage these days? There is not place in law that said because you married someone you have to stay regardless if your being mistreated, cheated on… move on people… I'm just saying!
doo darling, he is not an HONEST MAN. Open your love closed eyes booboo…he has a wife and you on the side, he isnt being honest with u, his wife or himself. If he was an honest man, and one to be respected at that, he would not be telling you everything that you would want to hear…"i am married, but i am not happy,i have no relationship with my wife" "you light up my life" "i am staying because of the kids"….hmmm…a load of *********** if you ask me. No one can be in an unhappy relationship because of the kids, the kids will sence it, it will not be a happy home. parents get divorced, separated; some even die:-( and the kids survive. so staying because of the kids is NOT an excuse honey. if i ever fell in love with a married man i would respect him more if he told me NO. later down the line if things dont work out with his wife and we do end up together i kno then that i am really dealing with an HONEST man. dont be stringed along darling, dont be the fall back girl, dont be the mistriss, love yurself enough, dont put yur heart through that ache. BE THE ONE AND ONLY, FIND A SINGLE MAN TO TREAT YOU LIKE A PRINCESS. LOVE ALWAYS.
@someone who knows better
He is my husband, wasn't anyone else's. You wanna take the beam out of your eyes and put it
in mine to make ppl out there think i was a homewrecker so what goes around comes around?
I was brought up correctly to know in the first place, that when two people are married, NEVER go between them, so why would i break down another woman's marriage to wed her husband?
Unless you are referring to someone else or my hubby has another one? In that case, maybe i should get additional evidence such as what I already have on you, divorce him and leave him with only the clothes on his back… maybe when he can't top up your digicell phone from here anymore, you will find someone else who can. Good luck..
@Someone who knows better
Is that the yarn he spon you? Then you really need some common sense because
I am his wife and trust me, I am not holding him captive in our home. If he wanted to be
with you so badly, he would have already left and/or divorced me. Truth is, he is not playing
you or he would have left already because i can certainly manage with the kids on my own.
Stop intruding on our marriage and find something or someone else to occupy yourself.
Stop eating scraps from our family table….
cheap slut u heard her write u all settle for less the woman is in and your ass is out so stay and wast your juice one someone eles homes leave the woman man go get yours or better still go get the man your mother finish all his money make hi parouu soak his cokky in clorox and u get a man leave the woman husband alone……. my dear dont worry with this cheap sluts make your man understand this year his either in or out

He's been have problems with his wife for a long time, yet he stays with her for the "sake of the kids" PLEASE, u need to travel to oz and ask the wizard for a brain.
leave my hubby alone,
need i too remind u,that the hubby that u are talkin about was someone elses husband?u came between them ,and she had too run away from him bcuz of the streess u impose on them. He had to HUNT for her all over the states to devorce her and marry you!!!!!!' what goes around comes around 'KARMA' is a b*****, this is ur reality baby deal with it…… that is ur circle of life sorry to say.
To "Lord Jesus help us" you asked whether this story is fictitious? Well it is not. Rather it is all about the conducts and attitude of the human mind. You see my friend, the majority of humans are yet to realize that unless they have the mind of God, they are not living in harmony with Him.
Human beings are so ignorant of that fact, that we believe that God is involved in the ideas our carnal minds process and produce. The thing about men, women, and marriage is one of the worst of the carnal mind's process and production that God has nothing to do with. God is Holy, Spirit ,and Truth and He pays attention to those who are striving to live with the conducts and attitude of Love.
All of that filthiness–SALOPTAE– as we say it in patois in Dominica, that is in our marriage, God wants nothing to do with it. We talk about falling in love, making love, and this and that, but we do not know that God is Love and Love must be demonstrated through the conducts and attitude of righteousness, to give glory to our righteous God.
Jesus told the Sadducees, who were trying to trap Him by using a woman who married seven brothers, and they died one after the other. Because it was according to the Jewish Law, for a man to marry the wife of his dead brother.
When the Jewish leaders ask Jesus which brother would be that lady's husband in the resurrection, because they did not believe in the resurrection, Jesus simply told them that they were ignorant of the scriptures. He meant that those men did not understand that their was a big difference between Life in the Spirit, which is Love, and the existence of flesh and blood.
Those men did not understand that in the resurrection flesh and blood will have nothing to do with our existence. For in the resurrection we come to Life with a a body of Spirit and Truth, that is, if we die with an awakened soul within us.
So Jesus told the men that in Heaven people neither marry nor are they given in marriage, because they live like angels there. So those of you who are saying that you are going to live in heaven forever and ever, but you plan to be able hug up like husband and wife and so on, you are not preparing for Life in Eternity with God, in Jesus.
I see the point of hypocrite, as he points out the way we all lashed at the young woman. I am sure that most of us mean well, but many of us have lashed at her in a very wrong way. The woman who claimed to be the true wife, for example, might think she was better than that young woman, or she is the victim of circumstances, but her verbal expressions did not demonstrate that claim.
We have advised that young lady with no consideration that she is also a person with feelings, not that I am advising her to continue with a married man, I know the heart break of being with a married man twice in my life. But at both times I was in the relationship long before I knew that the men were married. Let us consider that she came out of the open about what was taking place in her life. And if she truly intended to please herself alone, she would not have written to a counsellor for advice.
Once again, there is another story where the self righteous Jewish leaders brought a lady to Jesus, claiming that they caught her in adultery. Who knows what they did with man, that is a great question. But again they were trying to set a trap for Jesus, thinking that Jesus would advise them to stone the lady to death, since that was part of the Jewish law as well. They were looking to see if Jesus would go against the law that says "thou shall kill" so they could use that against Him.
But Jesus simply picked a stone and He handed it to the men who had brought the woman to Him for judgement, and He said to them: "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." The men all left the lady and Jesus alone at the place where they had brought her to Him, and they walked away. Not one of them was qualified to use that stone against her. Jesus told the woman, "I do not condemn you either, but go and sin no more."
Adultery, fornication, rape, homosexuality, lesbianism, lies, jealousy, envy, pride, drug addiction, alcoholism, murder, I could go on and on. the whole list of those attitude and conducts are of fleshly influence. They are sinful, they are of the world and not of the Father. They do not glorify Love, which is of God, and it grieves Him. As human beings we all have sinned. That is the message that Hypocrite might have sent to us, as we counselled that young with such selfish advice.
One of the most important truth that we need to get into our heads about Life, is that Love and human affection is not the same thing. Human affection is of the flesh, it demonstrate what is known as lust–the sensuality of the human mind's production. The apostle John tells us that "the lust of the eye and the lust of the flesh is not of the Father, it is of the world".
The majority of marriage involves the conducts and attitude of human affection. That is why there are so many marriages with problems. The things of the flesh do not last forever. The fake lustre that influenced the marriage will eventually loose its shine. The minute the lust die off, people decide that they do not love each other anymore. The truth is that most of those couples never loved each other from the beginning.
Who say the man don't have a relationship with his wife .He meet a slack thing so he want to enjoy himself.Men don't live there wife so easily, they will use those girls and in the end they go back to there wife.He will always tell her what he knows she want to hear.Vieux fam sot
u know i would not want to call this lady any dirty name but u know i am a married woman and this could be my husband making break on this girl we married these men give them the world have their kids love them yet some of these men still find they want to go around and cheat on their wife my advice to this young lady is leave the man alone encourage him to go to his wife and fix up his marriage then u will feel good about yourself because u did no assist in breaking up a happy home and a vow put together by god then god will bless u with what is yours and yours alone , them married men too impossible when they finish they going and sleep with their wife and tell them how much they love them god have a plan for them
@ hypocrite,
U seem to be on the defensive here today. Anyway I do not see anybody helping God in judgement here on this post. The mouth speaks by the abundance of the heart, and in your post U were just down right rediculous. Your thoughts U wrote here are too negative, the OP needs positive advice and not someone telling her it is ok to go with the married man because:
"MARRIED,,,,big freaking deal in this day and age….
Some of all you posting those comments are married and sleeping with people other than your spouses. Some of all you are child abusers—sexually. Some of you pay for sex…. some of you are alcoholics….drug dealers/pushers/mules…………..some of you do the unimaginable and lie with animals.
Is this story real or fictitious – I want to believe that these stories are fictitious, cause I cannot understand in this era where – la te' eclawa' people can still be so foolish. If this story is real, mamsel just looking for a man to chew his pocket and support her lazy a**.
ADMIN: We get many e-mails requesting advice from Bella from people in these situations.
Vicious comments and flailing the rod of religion, this is not helpful.
This human problem is nothing new, yet many people around the world experience it for the first time every day. Men and women will continue to cheat on their partners, if they choose to.
The ideal is to stay with one partner for life, however, so long as humans have hormones, thoughts, emotions, and desire, this problem will exist.
If the man is truly unhappy stay far away from him and let him think seriously about his situation and if he chooses to make his life happier elsewhere then so be it. Until he arrives at that decision and is making his life again as a single man, he will be a drain on your emotions and your thoughts; you will be well advised to cut all contact with him immediately.
If you allow yourself to become even more emotionally attached and emotionally dependent on him it may be many years before you are able to extract yourself from this relationship.
Many Wasted Years.
Instead, Go out and enjoy your life, read books, educate yourself, learn new things, get a better job, travel, these are some of the things you can do to improve yourself and elevate your mind and your thoughts then you will find the right person who is available for you and only you.
let God be the sole judge……U R NOT GOD…and he doesn't need help
I have a man who isn't cheating,unlike your husband. There.
does that mean he can have an affair in the relationship….like one you sanction?
the truth hurts doesn't it. What god has put together. Shame on you all. Lot's of things put people together these days. and mostly it has nothing to do with god. Being married for married sake…old maid and all……money…..greed……pure stupidity as some women get married to people who abuse them b4 and after. …..for the sake of the children and the list can go on and on.
Take your heads out of the sand ………….too many other things happening in the blasted country for all you to want to give advice about what somebody should do with their private parts. It's not your business………..
And for the record have no chip on my shoulder ….just a realist….unlike the lot of you.
Ha ha ha I can't believe that women still fall for that s*** we give them,, lol. Married love my wife but not in love with her or we sleep back to back or she is there but I use my hand because I don't love her!!!! And sadly these bulls*** talk works, bro if you getting wood them self, but man doh just leaving their wife just for sex, fact is more sex is just around the corner, if you want de person husband then doh your s*** but don't say you really believe what he say because he is an honest man, we are not honest oh and that goes for all you women too, that is why you two end up where you say you are!! And it will take someone like "hypocrite" to talk s*** and say go for it, remind me of some chicks I know, one cannot tell the other don't do that because it is wrong, instead they talk more crap about love and do what you have to do!!!
Woman grow up and get a life and a man of your own (then again we will always be men, lol), nevertheless breaking one home to fix yours will not last, some other woman go break down your home too!!!
Come on how honest can the guy be??? If he was and he was having issues with his wife and his marriage and he believed in his vows then he would go to his God for guidance not you and instead you push him in that direction you opening your arms and God knows what else and then is we men that bad!!!
But it is in our nature to ask, and play tricks and more monkey tricks to get and when we meet them weak like you we smile and just Wood Dem, wood dem, wood dem, wood dem, and that is the truth!!!
Is it just coincidence that you are JB which most likely stands for a common last name in Dominica? YOu sound like the lil homewrecker (medical caregiver with white cap) who works at the main hospital in Dominica. If in any case you are…. I am the wife of the man you claim you are falling for and for the information of everyone out there, she is not falling for him, they've been having an affair since 2004, she's been trying to get him to leave me but if he wanted to, trust me sweetheart, he would have left already….. He married me, not you and yes we do have a relationship. A God-blessed marital relationship even if we do not always see eye to eye but that is necessary to keep a marriage challenging.
Need I say more….. Go get your own man. As you can see, i keep rising… God bless.
Hi JB, I am a married woman and I know what having this extra marital affair is all about. It HURTS deeply to know that ur husband is having an affair out of the marriage.. It gets me SICK to know that u women know how destructive this can be n still take the pleasure in destroying what God has joined… BuT always remember God doesn't sleep, n what u do today will definitely live with u tomorrow..
How would u take it to know that ur man or ur boyfriend has another woman while he is with u? Put yourself in the wife's position and please stay away from that.. This is a dangerous zone that u are walking on.. For the benefit of of u and the wife please leaaave this relationship alone and pray for God to bless u with a wonderful man.
I am so fed up of these f*&king stories. As a married woman, it just breaks my heart. A married man will say anything to get in a single woman panty and a slack woman will give it up and forget about adultery and all that. If you doh love your wife again, divorce her but doh spread no dirty rumors about the woman and the state of your marriage. Shate man!
@hypocrite: yOU HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM MY FRIEND ! ! yOU ALSO HAVE A CHIP ON YOUR SHOLUDER. go pray ! !
Listen to all you …MARRIED,,,,big freaking deal in this day and age. Get off all you high horse. Some of all you posting those comments are married and sleeping with people other than your spouses. Some of all you are child abusers—sexually. Some of you pay for sex…. some of you are alcoholics….drug dealers/pushers/mules…………..some of you do the unimaginable and lie with animals…….so what the hell is all you point. Live and let live ….live the damn woman to live her damn life as she see fit and wait for the creator to judge her. Not one of us can do that job for him. Check yourselves first.
I can bet anyone that (infidel )goes to church everyday and read a bible everyday."What God has joined together let no woman put assunder" I am the Lord thy God, I hate devorse" Go back to church tomorow and opend the bible , then you will not need other vices. That's enough. While the Maried man is saying this to you he is saying this to many other women, that's what they say to get sex. Maried men are like the sea and the grave"they are never sattisfied".
well well well i cannot belive some women a still stupid in these age of time why should you belive the man and do you live with them girl i think if you want to no for sure ask him to move in with you or lets find a place of our own so we can be together cause kids do not let ppl stay together men say and do nearly anything to get to the panties i see u a one of them women men can fool very easy any way i suggest you stop seeing the lady husband and fine you a man i hope is not my husband cause i will k!!L that man
I am not saying this is the case, but you have to be careful of who you trust. Some men are very deceiving and you won't find out until they get what they want and satisfy their ego and then you are left all broken up with regrets and pain.
Please I beg you to call on the lord for guidance and do not fall in this trap…Take Bella's advice. Some men never have woman or their realtionships are always doomed but inspite of all they say their are signs that we sometimes neglect and make excuses for their already sick stories. An example might be he calls instead of you calling and when you sometimes call, the phone is off and tomorrow it's some excuse. Be wise my dear!!!!!!!!
If you wish you can contact me @email@example.com to speak some more about your situation. I will be more than happy to give you some more advice and some experiences I have had.
"YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE" this sounds so dump girl that a married man who once told his wife that she light up his life is now telling you the same thing to trap u. "HE IS AN HONEST MAN" well am an honest man so come meet me if you that folish.girl is not all that glitter is gold.
Dear JB,
U r an idiot, u know that? U said he is an honest man yet still he is persuing and extra marital relationship with u. What is the meaning of honesty JB? U said he does not have a relationship with his wife, and he is just there because of the kids. BULLS***!! That is a line to fool u, get in your pants, and still keep his family intact; in doing so he looses nothing. You will be loosing your dignity though Miss JB, 0 morals for a home wrecker. They had problems before u were in the picture u claim, but u just became one of the problems, a big one. Read the bible JB, if u need guidance that is the best place to start. WHAT GOD HAS JOINED TOGETHER LET NO MAN PUT A SUNDER! U will be specially punished, because God's words do not return unto him void. Think about that JB. Find your own man, there are alot of single men/boys roaming around.
PS Never fall in love lest u cannot get back up, rather U should learn to walk in love. U will be on your feet rather that on your back, and will be able to think straight.
My dear, I have been exactly where you are at right now and even further. A relationship with this man is only going to bring you heartache and loneliness, because at the end of the day the man is still married. When it matters most, he will choose to be with his wife and kids….during times of family holidays and other special times, he will choose his wife…..he will only bring you places where no one can see you all together…and at the end of the day, the man that you claim to be an honest man will be lying to his wife that you all are not having an affair, he will be lying to himself that he really loves you and not his wife when deep down in his heart he knows that he only wants to have a good time for a while, and he will definitely be lying to you making you believe that you are his whole world, getting you emotionally and physically attached to him, when he knows that the affair is only that, an affair.
You are young, smart and beaufiful I presume…don't get caught up in his web of lies. I can assure that he has pulled this crap before. Call him out on who and what he really is….a lying, cheating ba$tard. Get out of this quagmire before it is too late.
Find a young man without all this baggage and give your all into building a wonderful, meaningful relationship.
All the best!
My girl.. honestly y fall in love with a married man.. wat is it you want from him.. cause umm we women all want the same thing.. to get married have kids build our home live happily ever after.. did u realize or u just did not notice he did that for one wman already… oh so now you want him to leave his wife to give u what he already invested his all in??? my girl wise up and grow up.. there is no future in loving a married man.. they always unhappy with their wives but then the kiddies factory still grows.. how can u make love and keep sowing seeds into a woman u say you dont love anymore… men have way to many tricks if u ask me and all married men would love to have this young girl with all the energy swooning over him.. my advice to you let his ASS go home to his wife and move on with your free single and disengaged life that u living right now.. you will find a man of your own.. have faith…
But which part of LEAVE MARRIED MEN ALONE can these stupid girls not understand! You can never be a sensible woman so u must b a lil girl with no brain in that skull of urs to fall for that. I dont care if they not talking, i dont care if they have children to me that even makin it worse, as a matter of fact when u see married men you should be seeing a red zone. I hate excuses from women sayin it jus happened, nothing didnt just happen, you allowed it to, if u had respect for yourself or anyone else u would realize that that man is not yourr and stay far away from any advances or any sort of 'friendship' that you may feel yourself gettin from since in the beginning. All you to dam wicked… LEAVE MARRIED MEN ALONE sacway sot, u will stay the outside girl forever, child will grow up and he will still never leave… remember that. P.S try to become a woman….
my dear leave the man alone advice him to make things work with his wife and stop seeing him and give the man a break,the kids need their father.in this world today we all leaving in.
Girl girl girl all married men say the same thing "i am only there because of the kids" girl grow up and go find yourself a single guy because there a lots of good single guys out there. Leave d married man alone too many of you young women a breaking up marriages u know he is married and still yet u a in between their marriage.
Why dont you tell your self that if things a bad at home he can still take care of his kids and dont have to be in the house. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE CAPUCCINO LEAVE D MARRIED MAN ALONE..SALOP have some self-respect and LEAVE D MARRIED MAN ALONE DONT BE THE CAUSE OF ANOTHER FAILED MARRIAGE
I agree with you Bella. To add to your already wise counsel I would advise that you put your shoes in the wife's shoes and just imagine how it would feel. The old adage "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" applies perfectly here.
This devious imp will tell you exactly what you want to hear as he practices his "eating the cake and still having it" strategy. Do not aid and abet him in leading a double life. He is a lying, coniving brute who preys on vulnerable women and you fit the bill perfectly.
Rise up black queen and do not let that toad take you down a slippery slope of heartbreak and dispair. Your prince charming in waiting let that frog go about his merry way.
So you want to break up the man's family and you justifying it by saying that he and his wife does not have a relationship. That's what he told you? That is what makes him honest? Did the children also tell you they want to lose their father? You women just make me sick. Get the hell out of these people's lives.

It's never too late to quit smoking, and researchers have new data to prove it. Even at the age of 64, kicking the habit can add four years to a person's life, while quitting by age 34 can increase life expectancy by a decade, according to a study published online Wednesday by the New England Journal of Medicine.
After analyzing health data from more than 200,000 Americans, researchers calculated that current smokers were three times more likely to die during the course of the study compared with people who had never smoked. For the most part, their deaths were caused by smoking-related ailments, including heart and lung disease. Overall, their odds of surviving to age 80 were half as good as for never-smokers.
But the study, one of two large-scale surveys in the journal providing updated information on smoking and mortality, saw significant benefits for those who quit. Giving up smoking between the ages of 35 and 44 was associated with a gain of nine years of life, and those who quit between 45 and 54 lived an extra six years.
"The good news is, because the risks are so big, the benefits of quitting are quite substantial," said study leader Prabhat Jha, an epidemiologist and director of the Center for Global Health Research, based in Toronto.

The world of metal music and the world at large lost its littlest giant this weekend, as nearly everyone already knows.
When I was in high school, I pretty much lived on "Holy Diver" and "The Last in Line." Dio's music gelled so perfectly with my Dungeons & Dragons dreams and headbanging sensibilities, I could never get tired of listening to him sing of dragons, wizards, and rainbows in the dark. And I still can't listen to "I Speed at Night" in the car without running a serious risk of a speeding ticket. Can you? Can anyone?
It's still incredible to me that such a huge voice was housed in such a diminutive frame.
Dio always struck me as kind of a Bizarro-World version of Ozzy. I love Ozzy-era Sabbath, but I'm not one of those who thinks that this is the ONLY Sabbath. Dio stepped into a near impossible position when he took that gig, and proceeded to help turn out one of the greatest metal albums of all time, Heaven and Hell. The follow up, Mob Rules, proved it was no fluke. (It's hard to choose a favorite track from that incarnation of Sabbath, but for some reason I was always partial to "Country Girl.") The parallels between the two men are obvious--both fronted the quintessential metal band, both went on to incredibly successful solo careers, and both were managed by their wives. But where Ozzy (Satan bless him) fell into self-parody and periodic incoherence, Dio always seemed the opposite to me--articulate, thoughtful, intelligent, never giving any indication that he wasn't completely together and comfortable with himself. According to all reports, he was the consummate gentleman, and one of the kindest men in music.
(Note: I'm not trying to start an Ozzy/Dio flame war. I love Ozzy--but you have to admit, Dio always seemed the more together of the two.)
A brilliant showman whose stage shows were legendary (especially in the Sacred Heart days, when he slew the dragon every night), Dio was one of a kind, and will be greatly missed. His lyrics didn't always make sense--okay, maybe didn't even *often* make sense--but I think this was part of his aesthetic. Dio was all about the dream world, about fantasy, about magic. You can't apply logic to that.
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean!
Oh don't you see what I mean?"
No, not really, Ronnie. But it still rocks.
A philanthropist very involved in children's causes, Dio seemed always ready to do for others. In a genre that's often the home of people it's hard to look up to, Dio was eminently admirable, a statesman and role model. He was very important to me, and to millions of people across the world. Rest well, you warrior, you poet, you king.

Madrid: Second-ranked Li Na started her Madrid Open campaign by overcoming a stubborn opponent just as third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska did to reach the second round on Monday.
Li's clay debut began with an encouraging 6-1, 7-6 (7) victory over Belgium's Kirsten Flipkens before Radwanska also advanced thanks to a 7-6 (3), 6-2 win over Canada's Eugenie Bouchard.
Li, the Australian Open champion, survived two set points by Flipkens, and eventually took the tiebreaker to avoid another surprise first-round exit like last year. Li goes up against fellow Chinese player Zheng Jie next.
Bouchard came out on the losing end of a tough match against third-ranked Radwanska, as the Polish player earned her 25th match win of the season.
"The tiebreak was the biggest key," said Radwanska, who goes on to play Svetlana Kuznetsova. "I did a couple of good shots in the tiebreak and managed to win that, and that gave me more confidence in the second set."
Kuznetsova held off Alize Cornet of France 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 as the Russian continued her good run, including reaching the final in Portugal on Saturday.
Also, Caroline Wozniacki was a 6-2, 6-2 victor over Ekaterina Makarova while Spanish player Carla Suarez Navarro followed up from winning her first career title in Portugal with a 7-6 (6), 6-4 win over Yvonne Meusburger of Austria. Ninth-seeded Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia was bounced 6-4, 6-0 by Samantha Stosur of Australia.
A minute's silence was scheduled to be held at the Magic Box's Manolo Santana center court before the evening match in remembrance of Elena Baltacha, a former top-50 British women's player who died of liver cancer on Sunday.
In men's first-round play, ninth-seeded John Isner beat Russian qualifier Teymuraz Gabashvili 7-6 (8), 6-4, with the American securing the only break in a match heavy on baseline groundstrokes.
Kei Nishikori followed up his Barcelona Open triumph with a 6-4, 6-4 win against Ivan Dodig of Croatia.
Nishikori said working with former French Open champion Michael Chang boosted his confidence on this surface as he won his first career clay title in Barcelona.
"I did well last week in Barcelona and I'm getting better on clay, so hopefully I can go further this week," the 12th-ranked Japanese player said. "There was just one bad game, on my serve at 3-2 in the second set. Otherwise, it was an almost perfect match."
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga beat Edouard Roger-Vasselin 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, while Gilles Simon emerged from another all-French matchup, after Benoit Paire retired, to play Roger Federer next.
Stanislas Wawrinka, who is looking to follow-up his Monte Carlos Masters triumph, opens in the Spanish capital against Dominic Thiem after the Austrian beat Dmitry Tursunov of Russia 6-4, 6-2.
Other winners were Mikhail Youzhny of Russia, Jarkko Nieminen of Finland, and Spanish players Fernando Verdasco and Feliciano Lopez.

Just a little more than a year ago, manga was still being released one book every six months at a relatively high price point. Most major bookstores that carried manga had them randomly mixed in with domestic graphic novels, though the selection was almost always limited to Lone Wolf & Cub, Ranma 1/2, or X / 1999. If you found manga in a mall-based bookstore, then it was because the people working there went out of their way to get it or because a customer had ordered it and neglected to pick it up, and no one had bothered to return it. Kids might have known that Yu-Gi-Oh and Dragon Ball came from Japan, but that didn't mean they were treating the shows any differently from anything else they saw on TV.
Oh, how things have changed. It's impossible to cite any one factor for the sudden explosion of interest in manga and anime, but the import industry's popularity is growing no matter the reason. In fact, analysts are expecting the manga industry to continue its trend of doubling sales each year, and with new titles like Trigun, Hellsing, and Excel Saga selling alongside popular favorites like Dragon Ball, Chobits, Love Hina, and Inu-Yasha, it's not hard to agree with these predictions.
So, apparently we're on the right track. But are retailers with us? Of course you can go to dedicated online sites that have always carried these products, such as Animenation, The Right Stuf, Planet Anime, or a number of other web-based storefronts. However, while shopping online is becoming increasingly common, something cannot succeed as a mainstream product unless it can sell everywhere. Once you're able to sell manga to the public in a venue that also sells John Grisham novels, The Backstreet Boys, and the latest teenybopper movie, then you've hit the mainstream.
And let's face it, that's what we want for the anime and manga industry. That's my goal, at least, for I believe that the more this stuff sells, the more of it publishers will bring over for me to enjoy. And if a fan base of thousands expands into the millions along the way, then that's fine by me, so long as I get my manga and anime fix.
My personal motivation aside, let's take a look at the stores I'm talking about. I'm limited to mentioning stores in my area (St. Louis, in the middle of the USA), but essentially, there are three basic venues. First of all, there are the collectors' shops. These tend to be independently owned and operated, and they also don't attract a very wide range of customers. For the most part, if you're going to a comic book shop, then you may already have a proclivity towards items of Japanese origin. Next is the mall-based store. For movies, these tend to be stores like Sam Goody, the Suncoast Motion Picture Company, FYE, Saturday Matinee, or Musicland. For books, it's limited to Waldenbooks, B. Dalton, Coles, Coopermiths, and Brentanos. On the largest scale is the warehouse-style stores such as Circuit City, Best Buy, Barnes and Noble, Borders, Hastings, or Books-a-Million. Again, there are other stores besides these particular chains, but you should have the general idea by now.
On the anime side of things, not much as really changed. Stores such as the Sam Goody family of video outlets have always had a good selection of anime, usually having a wider range of titles than even warehouse giants such as Best Buy. You may notice these stores, however, reorganizing their sections, allowing for more room or a better display of artboxes that are becoming increasingly common. The Sam Goody family of stores (which, oddly enough, is now affiliated with Best Buy) has an exclusive deal with Viz that allows that chain to sell Inu-Yasha DVDs earlier than its competitors, which is a marketing ploy that hasn't really been widely attempted before last year. Perhaps the most surprising change for the selling of anime is the unexpected availability of anime DVDs in a few Waldenbooks stores across the US. It's quite odd to see Boogiepop Phantom next to a display of Harry Potter books, but the store I work at carries at least fifty unique titles, ranging from mainstream hits like Spirited Away to smaller series such as Sorcerer Hunters.
I think the largest change in retail as far as the selling of Japanese products is concerned would have to be on the manga front. Manga is now carried in certain Sam Goody stores, which balances out the fact that Waldenbooks now has anime. Yet, the way other bookstores handles manga is evolving swiftly. The biggest changes seem to be coming from the Borders Group, which includes the warehouse bookstore, Borders, as well as Waldenbooks, Brentanos, and their affiliates. Similar to Sam Goody's deal for Inu-Yasha, the Borders Group has exclusive early selling rights to the Di-Gi Charat series of manga, another benchmark in the industry.
Aside from these special release contracts, however, there's also the fact that Borders and Waldenbooks have both clearly increased their stock of manga. Stores that used to only carry five or six titles now have hundreds, and sections are being rearranged to accommodate this completely new genre for the company. So far, Barnes & Noble, Hastings, and Books-a-Million seem to be behind the trend a bit, with only a hundred or so titles in stock at once. Yet, when they realize how much their competitor is banking on manga, they're sure to follow the leads of Borders and Waldenbooks soon enough.
All major retail chains are supplied by a primary distribution center. The items that get shipped to each individual store is usually determined by what sells well in a particular location, so a store with a strong fantasy section will most likely also carry more manga than others. The books and DVDs that any company carries are chosen by a "buyer." It's up to these employees to scout out potential products and then acquire them for sales within the company. Having a buyer that knows what he or she is purchasing makes a world of difference.
While it's up to the company to choose what products will be carried, it's ultimately up to each individual store's employees to actually move the product. Any well-organized store will tend to perform better than a venue that haphazardly displays its stock. Smart merchandising will also help increase the sale - and thus the popularity - of any type of product, but manga and anime in particular. For example, video stores that break up every anime title into various genres and scatter them throughout the store are a bit bothersome. I prefer all of a store's anime to be in a single place. Besides, it's pretty hard to break anime down into genres, usually. Where, exactly, would Excel Saga go? Comedy? Science Fiction? And what about Chobits? Drama? Romance? Science Fiction?
You see the mess this can lead to. Every item in any store has a variable probability of selling. If you put the product in a location where potential buyers are not going to see it, then you've just effectively reduced that percentage to zero.
For bookstores, this logic applies in the same way. Keep the manga together - don't mix it with art books or English graphic novels. It can be shelved near relevant sections, but the titles should be segregated from one another. When I'm shopping for manga, I want to see it all in one place. Then I'll slide over to check out the American comics.
Paying attention to other nitpicky details tend to help out even more. Say you have all of your anime or manga in one place. Within that section, then, the items should be alphabetized by title, and kept in number order as well. Again, this may seem anal, but when people are looking for the eighth DVD in a twelve-disc set, then they aren't going to expect to find it at the beginning. Put things where they belong and you're on your way to selling more stuff.
Incidentally, some stores also have problems with putting these products out on their specified street dates. If it's not the latest season of Friends, then certain DVDs can be sadly overlooked when their big day arrives. One annoying example that I probably won't forget soon was just a few months ago, when Castle in the Sky, Spirited Away, and Kiki's Delivery Service were finally released on DVD. This wasn't necessarily a case of not putting titles out, but an allocation oversight. I went to Best Buy the morning those three fine films were released, and everything but Spirited Away was sold out.
I got there at 11 AM.
Apparently, each store in the area only received five copies of Castle in the Sky and Kiki's Delivery Service. I realize that not everyone is a diehard anime fanboy, but you can bet that there are more than five of us for each Best Buy in the area. I drove from store to store that day, stopping at other dealers on the way. The media head at the largest Circuit City in town had never heard of Spirited Away.
Again, I realize that I may be one of the few people in the area to be aware of the fact that the film was the highest grossing film of all time in Japan, and that it just took an Academy Award not even a month prior to its release, but c'mon. I was a bit annoyed by that point.
Luckily for the fifth store I stopped at (another Best Buy), I eventually found all three DVDs in one place. My crisis had been averted, and the bliss of owning three of the finest films released this year outweighed my annoyance at having so much trouble finding them on their release date.
I went through the same trouble when The Animatrix was released. This time, Circuit City had both editions of the DVD displayed in its weekly ads. Once again, however, I was given funny looks when I asked for it. It was as if the retail community was playing a joke on me. Annoyed, I went to the Best Buy that had my three Miyazaki films earlier in the year and found it. They matched Circuit City's price, and I left, happy.
With books, this is less of an issue, as most stores are not given mandatory street dates for manga. I put new titles out the minute they arrive, and it is usually a good two or three weeks before their specified arrival date. Hopefully, things will continue to arrive early, for nothing makes me happier than books coming in ahead of schedule.
This is undeniably a period of great change for both book and video stores thanks to the manga and anime explosion. Just last week, the Waldenbooks I work at started carrying Wallscrolls. About a month ago, we received anime soundtracks, Ein plushies, Kuroneko-sama bobbleheads, Ranma statues, T-Shirts featuring Rurouni Kenshin, Yu-Gi-Oh, Cowboy Bebop, and Inu-Yasha), Chobits trading cards, and imported Di-Gi Charat trading figures.
All of that, in a mall bookstore in the middle of the USA. Life is good.
The most interesting question about all this that I've been pondering lately would have to be where does it go from here? With hundreds of new anime and manga titles being released each year, and sales continually climbing, this is not a phenomenon that is going to fade away soon. Personally, I think there's only one direction that this is all eventually going to take.
I predict that within a few years, we'll start to see the major chain stores opening a new subsidiary company - one devoted entirely to Japanese merchandise.
Most people are aware that Barnes and Noble runs B. Dalton, a bookstore usually found in malls. However, it also operates Funcoland, Software Etc., and Babbages. Waldenbooks used to have a software branch as well, and most recently they were affiliated with Electronics Boutique (unfortunately for me, they no longer are). Soon enough, there will be a large enough market for a store dedicated entirely to manga, anime, and other merchandise any otaku would be glad to own. Just last year, Borders experimented with a small assortment of products in a mall-based kiosk called "Otaku."
Independent owners have already done this in a few malls around the nation, and it's only a matter of time until the retail giants wake up and realize the potential for such a shop. All I have to say is, these shops better offer some fantastic discounts for us obsessive fans. Otherwise, the introduction of such a nifty store will go unnoticed as we all continue to stick with the less-expensive option of online shopping.
I have to admit, however, it'd be amazing to enter a bookstore in America that carried only manga. If we all keep on buying anime and manga the way we have been lately, then it's only a matter of time.

BERKELEY — UC Berkeley Police Chief Mitch Celaya announced Wednesday night he will be retiring at the end of this year, ending his 30 year career with the department.
Celaya's retirement will be effective Dec. 31 and a nationwide search will begin immediately for his replacement, according to an email sent to the campus. Capt. Margo Bennett will serve as acting chief until a new chief is hired.
Celaya joined the UC Berkeley Police Department in 1982 as an officer before moving up to lieutenant and then to captain, assistant chief and ultimately chief, the email said.
Celaya has been the recipient of numerous service awards, including the UC systemwide Meritorious Service Award for his response to the 1992 assassination attempt on Chancellor Chang-Lin Tien. Celaya, a Fairfield resident, has also spearheaded the police response during many of the protests held at the campus in recent years.
"He has shown deep dedication to our campus and community, and we wish him all the best as he pursues his personal interests and focuses on his family," the announcement said.

Maintain progress from education law
We must protect the progress made with last year's landmark education reform law (Public Act 12-116), aimed at closing our state's worst-in-the-nation achievement gap and making certain that every single student in Connecticut has an equal opportunity to thrive.
Signed by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy last summer -- after receiving nearly unanimous support from the state Legislature -- the education reform law took essential steps toward providing a high-quality education for all students, including: raising standards for educators, creating opportunities to improve failing schools, increasing access to high-quality public school choices, and improving the way education dollars are spent.
But in December 2012, a deficit mitigation plan cut more than $11.4 million from education funding, nearly half of which was from key pillars of the less-than one-year-old education law.
Given the state's budget deficit, tough choices have to be made. If we are serious about investing in our children, we cannot afford to dial back our efforts to ensure great teachers, principals and public schools for every child. Our students are counting on us to give them the tools they need to succeed.
In an effort to keep the promise of education reform made to our students just last year, Gov. Malloy released a biennial budget proposal that invests $214.9 million in key education reform measures, including: turning around failing schools, growing public schools of choice, evaluating and supporting teachers and principals, and fairer funding for public charter school students.
Specifically, the governor's budget proposes investing in:
Turning around failing schools. Created as part of last year's education reform law, the Commissioner's Network aims to turn around up to 25 of Connecticut's chronically low-performing schools, and in turn help thousands of students receive the high-quality education they deserve.
Currently, four schools are participating in the Commissioner's Network. Gov. Malloy's proposal would add 17 of our lowest-performing schools to the network in the next biennium.
Growing public schools of choice. Public, not-for-profit charters in Connecticut are in high-demand. According to the state Department of Education, the number of students on waiting lists for charter schools exceeds the total number of students now enrolled in charter schools.
To meet this growing demand, 27 letters of interest were recently submitted to the state Department of Education to launch new schools. Without support from policy makers, our state will continue failing to provide these high-performing options to thousands of children and families who are seeking a high-quality public school.
Gov. Malloy's budget proposal includes funds for the creation of four new state charter schools over the next two years.
Evaluating and supporting teachers and principals. The statewide educator evaluation program provides feedback and support necessary to further empower high-performing teachers and principals. It can make certain that low-performing teachers get the help they need and allows for swift dismissal of those who consistently fail to improve.
This system is a fundamental step toward ensuring that all children have access to the best teachers and principals. Currently, the program is being piloted in 10 sites throughout Connecticut, with full implementation required by the 2014-2015 school year.
The governor's budget proposal includes the resources necessary to effectively implement the educator evaluator system, statewide.
Fairer funding for public charter school students. Last year's education reform law increased per-pupil funding for charter schools, bringing them closer to equity with the rest of our public school students. December's deficit mitigation plan slashed these necessary funds for charter students by $2 million -- $300 per child.
The governor's budget proposal restores some of the funding promised to charter school students in last year's education reform law, but unfortunately not all.
Now, the governor's budget is in the hands of the General Assembly. As state legislators make tough budgetary decisions, I urge them to keep in mind their responsibility to follow through on all of the promises made to our kids in passing education reform last year. Cutting funding now would break those promises.
State leaders should do right by our students: protect and sustain education reforms aimed at ensuring all students in Connecticut have access to the high-quality public schools they deserve.

text: William Henry Harrison (1773-1841), America's ninth president, served just one month in office before dying of pneumonia. His tenure, from March 4, 1841, to April 4, 1841, is the shortest of any U.S. president. Harrison, who was born into a prominent Virginia family, joined the Army as a young man and fought American Indians on the U.S. frontier. He then became the first congressional delegate from the Northwest Territory, a region encompassing much of the present-day Midwest. In the early 1800s, Harrison served as governor of the Indiana Territory and worked to open American Indian lands to white settlers. He became a war hero after fighting Indian forces at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. Harrison went on to serve as a U.S. congressman and senator from Ohio. He was elected to the White House in 1840, but passed away a month after his inauguration, the first U.S. president to die in office.

Logitech is well known for its range of Harmony universal remote controls and now it has announced one which will give you all the control you need; using your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Instead of using an ugly dongle or case, this uses a WiFi enabled receiver which converts the input received from your iOS device into an infrared output to you home theater kit. The companion iPhone and iPad apps will be available as free downloads from the App Store.
The Logitech Harmony Link connects to your existing home wireless network to receive Wi-Fi signals from the Harmony Link App and turns them into IR commands that home-entertainment devices can understand. Harmony Link can control up to eight devices, is compact (about the size of a hockey puck) and was designed to integrate neatly and discreetly with your home entertainment system. Harmony Link can even connect with more than one iPad at a time, letting multiple family members use their own iPad - with their own set of favorite channels - rather than fighting over a single remote.
Logitech has also teamed up with Rovi Corporation to provide detailed program information within its app. This will deliver show synopses, movie information and images as you navigate available TV channels.
The Harmony Link should be available in October for around $99.99. The price does seem reasonable when compared to stand alone universal remote controllers. The apps will be available as a free download from the App Store when the Harmony Link is launched.

Since Mercedes-Benz left the LA fashion week scene, fashion aficionados have been clamoring on to a rather shaky runway. However, and this is a big however, there are many on the LA fashion scene that are intent on not letting a run in their tights ruin the entire ensemble. What have they done? Created a pattern of rips and kept it moving proclaiming to fashion weeks all around the world that LA is here and creating its own movement on the fashion scene. One of these statement making, stiletto wearing, and scarf throwing forces is Gen Art. Gen Art is the nation's leading arts and entertainment organization, dedicated to promoting and supporting the best emerging talent in fashion, film, music and the visual arts. In fashion, the company was created to propel the careers of up-and-coming fashion and accessories designers.
With alumni such as
Zac Posen,
Rebecca Taylor,
Phillip Lim,
Vena Cava,
Uli Hertzner Rafé,
Milly, and
Eugenia Kim, the organization has bolstered serious success for hosting seasonal alumni fashion events to kick off fashion weeks around the world. The LA event was held on March 16th, poolside at the Roosevelt Hotel. Hosted by
Amber Rose, former Ford model and most notable for her bold, blonde, bald head and risk and reward fashion sense, the event brought out fashion designer
Jazmin Whitley, Law & Order's
Anthony Anderson, E! News personality
Ashlan Gorse, and Project Runway contestants
Althea Harper, and
Mila Hermanovski.
"It was a pleasure to be part of the Gen Art Fashion Alumni celebration with such amazing designers. It is exciting that Gen Art continues to discover talent who influence the world of fashion," said Amber Rose.
And, who are the designers? 20 designer alumni were on hand to present a signature look from their collections at the event. They included Brigid Catiis, Eduardo Lucero, Elmer Ave, Endovanera, Erik Hart, Freddie Rojas, Geren Ford, Wren, Grey Ant, Jared Gold, Jeffrey Sebelia, Katy Rodriguez, Kit Scarbo, Louis Verdad, Orthodox, Rami Kashou and Society for Rational Dress.
Partnering with CLEAN & CLEAR® Skincare, the event also served to announce a new national fashion designer competition, which will give up-and-coming designers the chance to create the ultimate prom dress for one lucky teen. "The CLEAN & CLEAR® Skincare Makes You Prom Beautiful from Start to Finish – Designer Prom Dress Competition". To highlight this theme, guests were treated to a "prom" photo op complete with props, if one so chose. Another treat, a little swag! Gift bags stuffed with giveaways from CLEAN & CLEAR®, LA Confidential, and Trueblood, to name a few.
This was just the first stop for Gen Art. The organization will spend the rest of the week promoting select BOXeight L.A. Fashion Week programming between March 18th and the 21st. Additionally, Gen Art will support the launch of Molly Crabapple's new collection for Dirtee Hollywood at Fred Segal and a concluding Fashion Week bash with Absolut Berri Acai on Monday night at Voyeur.

But it works very well and I believe I will get a lot of use out of it. :mrgreen: I have already quilted my first small 47x41 I Spy quilt on it.

The Tories want to re-describe poverty as being not to do with a lack of money. Next project: re-describe hypothermia as being not to do with lack of heat.
The government's desire to alter the official definition of child poverty risks deliberately downplaying the importance of money just as a series of government policies will reduce the incomes of poor families, a group of senior academics warn in a letter to the Guardian.
Let's define it as a lack of initiative, shall we? A shortage of grit and determination and ambition? A refusal to get up at 5 a.m.? A habit of eating three pieces of pie every evening?
A consultation on how to measure child poverty more accurately that was launched last November, seeking input from charities and experts into "better measures of child poverty", comes to an end on Friday. The government believes that a wider definition of what constitutes poverty will give a better picture of what it means to "grow up experiencing deep disadvantage".
A better picture, eh? So that they can hang it next to the Van Dyke in the library?
Professor Jonathan Bradshaw, the lead consultant on the UK's contribution to Unicef's Child Well-Being report, said he believed that the government was "trying to move the goalposts" at a time when child poverty was increasing rapidly.
He described the consultation document as the worst paper setting down government policy direction he had ever read, questioned whether it was written by civil servants and said it read more like it had been "plagiarised from a right-wing thinktank tract".
He said civil servants had been working for the past 40 years on developing accurate poverty measures, but the document had ignored previous work by the department on the subject as well as ignoring work by academics in the field. The new approach would not work because it attempted to "combine all sorts of things that are the consequence of poverty or may be even be the causes of poverty, but are not a measure of child poverty".
That's the best wheeze of all: treating the consequences of poverty as the causes of poverty. That way you get to stop spending money on it, and you get to sneer and judge at the same time. Look at you, you dirty peasant, you never went to school; no wonder you're poor!
In a speech to launch the consultation, Iain Duncan Smith, the work and pensions secretary, outlined his theory that other factors aside from money caused poverty, highlighting his concern about children growing up in "dysfunctional families".
He argued: "It cannot be right that experiences so vital to childhood, like seeing a parent go out to work or growing up in a stable family, are not reflected in our understanding of child poverty." He was critical of the Labour government's focus on "income as the significant cause and solution".
Sure enough…

Gentle readers,
I must apologize to you for an error which I committed in my most recent writing here on Cartastrophe.
A few days ago I posted an analysis of two maps from the PBS series America Revealed. In developing my critique, I relied on a piece from the Daily Mail in the UK, which posted images of many of the maps in the series. I wrote up my post based solely on what the Daily Mail said about the maps, rather than going back and looking at them in their original context. I had originally thought that the PBS series hadn't yet aired, and so I didn't look too hard. But, in fact, it was available online, having appeared in the US about two months ago, and had I spent about 15 seconds looking online I would have learned this fact immediately.
Having now reviewed the maps as they appeared on the PBS series, I find that my critique of the first map was based on some erroneous assumptions about the map's subject. It is not a map of raw job losses, but a map of manufacturing jobs in the 1990s, which then (as the video proceeds), shows the blue dots winking out as jobs vanish over time. If you go back to the original post, you'll see that I've added some notes about the new context information.
I would like to apologize to you, readers, and to the creators of those maps, for judging them outside of their appropriate context. It is my responsibility to research the works that I show here, to ensure that the comments I make are based on a correct assessment of how the map is used, and what it purports to be about. I take this responsibility seriously, and I try to limit my critique to things that are positively known about the map, rather than assumptions. I did not do my homework sufficiently in this case.
It is my opinion that pretty much all of my critique remains valid in light of the new information on these maps, so hopefully I dodged a bullet there. However, that's ultimately for you to judge. It's up to you, as my readers, to determine if I am making fair and reasonable points about the maps I examine. I provide links to their sources for this purpose. Because of my laxness, neither of us had all the information needed to assess these works.
I'm sorry about this; it won't happen again.

I bought this nail polish from Wet N Wild not so long ago and I'm in love with it. Not only can you purchase it for only 1.99 but it applies like a dream. I wouldn't be able to compare to higher end nail polishes as I don't own a single one. With only one application you get the color that is in the bottle. The color is so opaque and the brush is one of a kind. I have not seen a brush so big but give a streakless application. The tip of the brush is curve just like the nail so when you apply the polish it goes without a mess. I am in love with it and I encourage you to give one a try....if you don't like then you would have only lost a few bucks....1.99 to be exact.

Hope you guys enjoyed my post.....
XO, Cari
P.S. I will be uploading my favorites video on my youtube channel soon and this nail polish will be featured.

Hot Navel Kissing BiographySource (google.com.pk)
Navel fetishism (or navel fetish, also referred as belly button fetish or an umbilical dip fetish) is a partialism in which an individual is sexually attracted to the human navel. It is considered to be a less common fetish compared to others like feet, buttocks etc.Navel attractionA T-shaped navel
A navel fetishist might like to touch the navel, gaze at it or have it rubbed during masturbation.It may develop during childhood or during early adulthood.The vertical orientation of the umbilicus in women is preferred by most men and women. A study done by Charles Puckett of the University of Missouri found that vertically oriented navels with a T-shape were considered the most attractive.
The author of 'The Stomach and BellyButton page' once commented,"Some people could go as far to call it a fetish,but I think of it more as an admiration". Writer Deirdre Day commented,"The signatory knot that ties up nothing and goes nowhere holds more erotic charms for some than conventional attractions. Neither procreative nor nutritive, perhaps it is the navel's lack of obvious purpose, combined with its audacious, almost arrogant, spot right there in the middle of things, that sucks its admirers in. Belly button aficionados the world over categorise, analyse, and collect images of their sacred objects and the true belly believer could recognise Cindy, Cameron, or Kate as easily by their navels as by their faces." Stimuli
A navel fetishist can be sexually aroused by a variety of stimuli, including key words, thoughts or specific forms of physical interaction with the navel.
Belly dancers often have navel piercings.
Physical activity
Some navel fetishists find physical acts involving the navel to be turn-ons.Physical acts can include licking the navel with the tongue or rubbing body lotion or suntan oil. Some fetishists get a turn-on from pouring drops of champagne, honey, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, etc., into and around the navel and then licking or sucking it up. Similarly, licking or rolling the tongue into the navel while underwater can produce erotic sensations.
The navel is an erogenous zone with a heightened sensitivity. The navel and the region below when touched by the finger or the tip of the tongue result in the production of erotic sensations, and some people are very ticklish to touch in that area. Some people can be aroused by tickling and teasing with a feather, flower or a piece of grass, especially when the person is ticklish in the navel.Fingering the navel is also a common act.Some prefer to perform navel torture, a series of pain-inflicting acts such as piercing and stabbing the navel.This attention is usually directed at a partner's navel,but may include a fixation on the fetishist's own navel.Viewing and fantasizing activity
Some navel fetishists can be aroused by viewing a navel. In the case of a heterosexual man, women in bikini is one such example. Also women dressed in low-rise clothing like jeans, shorts etc., that reveals the navel is also considered sexually arousing.Indian journalist Bachi Karkaria had once commented,"The navel is an erogenous zone. This is the reason why its exposure is always in fashion.Women have flashed it through the ages because men are turned on by it. It is shown because it wants to be seen". Videos featuring above said physical acts are very common and are viewed worldwide. Their popularity has become more compared to regular porn videos. Belly dancers often have navel piercings or insert sequins into their navels to make it look attractive when they perform.Not only them,many young everyday women also have them to add a charm to their navels. Such decorations also arouse when seen. In India, navel exposure in low-rise saris is more common than western attire. Sometimes just the thought of the navel is enough to stimulate. Some navel fetishists sexually fantasize about the above physical acts on a person's navel to attain sexual pleasure. The Samoan tribe people find the sight of the navel sexually arousing.Literature
Sometimes literary works focusing on navels or which sexually symbolize navels can also act as stimuli to navel fetishists. One such work is Navel Revue by author Jay Hahn-Lonne which is an autobiographical study of a man's obsession with navels. In the Song of Songs, a book in the Hebrew Bible, there are allusions to exotic things in nature, with frequent interweaving of nature with erotic imagery. In Solomon's lavish praise of his love – the country girl, Sulaimi – the navel is mentioned as follows: "thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor:thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies." (7:2). Robert W. Service in his short poem "Navels" wrote, "Men have navels more or less;....Woman's is a pearly ring,....So dear ladies, recognise The dimpling of your waist Has approval in my eyes,Favour in my taste......How a rosebud navel would Be sweet to kiss!" In Ancient Indian Sanskrit literature, writers like Adi Shankara, Kālidāsa etc., have symbolized & referred to the navel while describing the beauty of Hindu Goddesses.
