Habitual Adultery - Is There Any Hope?
- Friday, March 22, 2013
You note that the scriptures challenge us to forgive again and again. The implication, however, is to forgive those who honestly seek reconciliation—your husband seems to want to get into your good graces without making any changes that would protect you both from harm in the future. While forgiveness is important, you are forgetting many other scriptures that admonish us to be wise in our associations with others as well as the use of healthy boundaries.
Proverbs 13: 20 says, "He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm." You give no indication that your husband has set boundaries between he and those that lead him into harm.
In regards to healthy boundaries, you seem to be enabling your husband to maintain his destructive lifestyle. The Apostle Paul speaks clearly about such matters in Galatians 6:7. "A man reaps what he sows." By "forgiving him" again and again, without true character change, you are not allowing him to experience the consequences of his actions. You are enabling him to bring destruction into the sanctity of your marriage.
I suggest it is time to take sharp, clear actions. It is time to let him know you love him, but cannot allow unfaithfulness to taint the sanctity of your marriage. I suggest you draw a clear line—he must seek counseling to understand his character issues that lead to unfaithfulness; he must dissociate from those that lead him into harmful actions; he must work diligently with you to create safety and trust in your marriage. If he refuses to do these things, you and your marriage remain in danger, and you cannot be a party to that.
In all of these critical decisions, seek the wisdom of the Lord—He promises to give us wisdom liberally. "If you look for it (wisdom) as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God." (Proverbs 2: 4)
Dear Dr. David,
I have read some of your articles on Crosswalk.com but they usually address from a woman's position. What about the man whose wife cheated on him? My wife and I were married for sixteen years and the divorce was finalized this past March. I did not want this divorce and fought against it nor do I really believe in them. When my wife and I started to date she knew that I wanted to be in the ministry as did anyone who knows me. I started Bible studies, lead prayer groups, preached, and so on, have been active in the church. During our marriage she slept around, drank, and did drugs. I knew of three of these affairs but felt that if each of us followed God's Word and leading plus went to get Christian marriage counseling then the marriage would become stronger. Please help me understand what happened in our marriage. ~ Discouraged
Dear Discouraged,
Please see my comments in my response to the previous writer, as they apply to your situation.
In short, many marriages are in trouble for lack of some basic, healthy boundaries. Unfaithfulness occurs for various reasons, most predictable and preventable. When we examine a marriage in trouble we often find issues such as unhealthy communication styles, poor conflict management skills, a lack of healthy boundaries, a lack of sacrificial giving, and failing to take danger signs seriously. I am often saddened at the many marriages which falter, but where the couple has failed to heed the warning signs by getting in-depth counsel. Most couples are like the frog in the boiling pot—they feel the water getting hotter, but hope things will magically turn around. They won't, and don't. Cosmetic changes do nothing for us. God demands a heart change—a Godly sorrow that leads to repentance.

Wisconsin's two most famous athletes are teaming with one of Milwaukee's pre-eminent restaurateurs to bring some MVP style to the west side.
Milwaukee Brewer Ryan Braun and Green Bay Packer Aaron Rodgers will join forces with SURG restaurant group - owner of Umami Moto, Carnevor and Distil restaurants in Milwaukee - to open a family-friendly eatery named 8*twelve in Brookfield next month.
The restaurant will be located in the former Charro building, 17800 W. Bluemound Road in the city of Brookfield.
"Aaron and I are not only great friends, but we both have wholeheartedly made long-term commitments to the sports fans of Wisconsin," Braun said in a news release. "We wanted to give them a home base to celebrate their favorite teams and enjoy some great food and service."
8*twelve will serve American food cooked atop a wood-fire grill.
SURG restaurant group has partnered with Braun in the past, creating Graffito, a successful restaurant in Milwaukee's Third Ward.
"Ryan's involvement with Graffito has been such a positive experience for both sides, so when another opportunity presented itself in Brookfield, we all agreed to move forward," SURG co-owner Omar Shaikh said. "Aaron had expressed interest in the business after visiting Graffito a few times and, with his friendship with Ryan, 8*twelve just fell into place.
"This will be great for the Brookfield area."
SURG CEO and co-owner Mike Polanski said additional locations for the joint venture already are being considered.
Rodgers, careful with his endorsement time, has been featured in ads for the Milwaukee Brewers this season and voiced his support for Braun during a performance-enhancing drugs arbitration process.
"Wisconsin has the greatest fans in the country," Rodgers said. "This is an excellent opportunity for me to work with Ryan on a project that will create something for fans of the Packers, Brewers and sports in general to take part in and enjoy."
This will be the second MVP quarterback to open a restaurant in the Milwaukee area, although Brett Favre's Steakhouse closed several years after opening downtown.

DOT plans Highway 16 work in 2014 and 2016
Photo by: Submitted Photo
Village of Hartland - The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) is planning two separate projects to improve the bridges and roadways along Highway 16.
The first project will rehab or replace 11 bridges and one box culvert between Highway 67 and I-94, and is scheduled to commence in spring 2014. The second project, scheduled to begin in spring 2016, will rehab Highway 16 pavement to extend the life of the roadway and improve ride quality.
The bridge project is expected to cost $9 million, and the roadway project is expected to cost $12 million, according to DOT Project Manager Doug Cain.
The bridge project will involve mainly single-lane and shoulder closures, although the Highway KE (Jungbluth/North Shore) and Highway KF (Ryan Street) bridges over Highway 16 will each be completely closed for two months for replacement of the bridge decks. Those closures will be staggered so that each can serve as a detour route while the other bridge is closed.
Bridges that will undergo work as part of the project include:
Highway 67 bridge over Highway 16
Highway 16 bridge over the Oconomowoc River (two bridges)
Highway P (Brown Street) bridge over Highway 16
Highway 16 bridge over Highway P (Sawyer Road) (two bridges)
Highway KE bridge over Highway 16
Highway KF bridge over Highway 16
Highway 16 bridge over I-94
The box culvert included in the project is under Highway 16 just east of Highway E; the Bark River flows through this culvert. Concrete surface repairs inside the culvert structure are planned.
The roadway project will include two stretches of 16, from Highway P to Merton Avenue and Capitol Drive to I-94, and will include some Highway 16 lane closures at nonpeak times, said DOT design leader Steve Rotier. Deteriorating pavement at various ramps along those stretches will also be replaced.
The roadway project will also include the installation of barricade racks or ramp gates at the tops of the Highway 16 on-ramps. Both devices are designed to allow law enforcement to close access to the freeway. A barricade rack is a permanent rack used to hang traffic control barricades on, while a ramp gate is an arm that can be lowered to extend across the lanes.
Ramp gates cost more and are used where traffic volumes are higher, Cain said. Racks will be installed at the ramps west of Highway KC (Merton Avenue) and ramp gates will be installed east of KC.
The DOT also plans to replace the stretch of ultrathin bonded wearing surface on Highway 16 under the Highway JJ bridge. This specialized surface is a membrane placed on pavement to improve friction, Cain said, and is typically used in areas identified as having a higher number of crashes due to slick conditions.
At a local officials meeting on Feb. 4, Hartland Public Works Director Mike Einweck requested that work near Merton Avenue not take place late at night, as a residential area lies close to the Merton Avenue bridge. Einweck also asked the DOT to try to work around the Hartland Hometown Celebration, which takes place every year the weekend before the Fourth of July.
The public is invited to learn about both projects at an informal open house-style meeting from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 20, in the Board Room at Hartland Village Hall.

Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - If the Colorado Rockies are going to contend this season, Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez need to lead the way.
They've done so thus far, at least through two games.
Tulowitzki and Gonzalez both homered for the second straight day and Walt Weiss earned his first win as manager in the Colorado Rockies' 8-4 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in the middle test of a three-game set.
Tulowitzki and Gonzalez had two RBI apiece for Colorado, which racked up 14 hits. Gonzalez also scored twice.
One time 16-game winner Jorge De La Rosa, who made just three starts late last season after undergoing Tommy John Surgery in 2011, surrendered four runs on five hits and three walks over 4 1/3 innings.
"I felt good, I was surprised they took me out because I only had 70-some pitches," De La Rosa said. "It's special to come back here because this is where I started."
Edgmer Escalona (1-0) tossed 1 2/3 frames of shutout ball to pick up the win, while Rafael Betancourt got the final out in the ninth for his first save of the year.
Ryan Braun cracked a two-run homer for the Brewers, who won the opener of this set 5-4 in 10 innings after John Axford blew a two-run lead in the ninth. Milwaukee recorded an MLB-high 29 blown saves a year ago.
After the Rockies pushed across two runs in the top half of the fifth to knot the score at 4-4, they added three more in the seventh to take the lead.
Michael Gonzalez (0-1) began the seventh for the Brewers and gave up a walk to Dexter Fowler, followed by singles by Josh Rutledge and Carlos Gonzalez to load the bases with none away.
Burke Badenhop came in from the bullpen and Tulowitzki lifted a sacrifice fly to center to plate Fowler for the go-ahead run. Base hits by Michael Cuddyer and Todd Helton brought home Rutledge and Gonzalez, respectively, to make it 7-4.
"What was really disappointing to me was walking the first batter," Gonzalez said. "That just kind of opened up the inning."
Colorado added an insurance run in the eighth on Rutledge's sacrifice fly to right field.
Earlier, Chris Nelson singled home Cuddyer in the second for the game's first run before the Brewers answered with two runs in the home half. Carlos Gomez ripped an RBI double down the left-field line before Marco Estrada helped his cause by lining a run-scoring single to right for a 2-1 Colorado advantage.
Tulowitzki's solo shot to left-center in the third tied the contest, but Braun's two-run opposite-field homer in the bottom half put Milwaukee back on top, 4-2.
Gonzalez launched a two-run shot to right-center in the fifth.
The Brewers' starter Estrada fanned eight, but surrendered four runs on nine
hits over five innings ... Cuddyer had three hits ... Colorado was 5-for-11
with runners in scoring position.

You use the automatic settlement rule generation for WBS elements. The restriction of the maximum number of distribution rules in the settlement profile is not taken into account when a new distribution rule is created.In the master data maintenance (for example, in the Project Builder - Transaction CJ20N), the number of the distribution rules is checked correctly.
The check is not complete.
The attached source code changes make the check more restrictive when creating a new distribution rule.Note that the changes are only implemented in the standard system in Release 4.7. This should avoid the situation that the settlement rule generation is suddenly no longer run after the import of an R/3 Support Package.Proceed as follows: First, implement Note 407567 - Note 407567 will be contained in one of the next Support Packages - and then change Include LKSRGDAT as described in the attachment. The change of Include LKSRGDAT is contained in the standard system as of Release 4.7.

A Big Thank You To The Girls I've Hurt
As I mature and grow into a 'good man', I have moments of reflection in which I reflect back on past encounters I've had with girls and I constantly wish I handled every situation differently. But the other night I realised something. I've learned/learning how to grow into a better man by not being the better man I should have been in the life of a girl I was with previously. It sounds real silly and extremely bad, but through my shit behaviour towards girls in the past, I gradually learned how to be a better man for the next girls I had encounters with.
I've learned more from girls that have ditched me when I fucked up than from the girls that didn't ditch me and allowed me to continue fucking up. This is a primary reason why I tend to advise my lady friends to leave their dudes that fall short of their expectations. This is not just because I believe girls (and obviously people in general) should never settle for anything less than what they deserve, but because as a man myself I know for a fact that we men must want to change for ourselves long before we can change for a girl.
To the girls reading this, I have two questions…
- A guy who was once a scumbag (cheater, for example), will he always be a scumbag?
-As a woman, do you care about how your boyfriend/husband treated other women or do you only care about the way he treats you?
I'm 100% sure that there are married men out there who treat their wives like Queens but at the same time have women in their pasts that will always see them as 'scumbags' regardless of the adjustments they have made to their lives. Take Wiz Khalifa for example, he claims Amber Rose was the catylst that sparked the change in him. I'm pretty sure Amber's opinions of Wiz would be completely different to Wiz's women of the past.
I believe that social conditioning has the majority of girls wanting to be in a relationship. The same pressure whether it is positive or negative, isn't as heavy on the shoulders of young guys. Maybe this is the reason most girls prepare themselves to be 'wifey-material' quicker than dudes ready themselves to become 'hubby-material'. I'm not saying us men will never be ready to commit one day, I just think it takes the average man longer to arrive there than the average woman.
So whilst we are becoming 'hubby-material', is it fair to label us 'bad men' even if it is helping us on our way to become 'good men'?
It's a shame girls can't click their fingers to change a guy from player to commitment. It's an even bigger shame she can't be the girl that inspires him to change. It's not a shame though if you choose to stick around a guy that is becoming when you're looking for a guy that has already become.
Girls want a good dude in their life - and they all deserve one – but I don't think they care to know how he got there. I totally understand girls do not want to be the one that meets a man along the road to becoming a good man. It's always more ideal to be the woman who meets him after he has already reached his destination. But as the saying goes, 'even the road to hell is paved with good intentions' or in my case… 'the road to heaven is paved with bad intentions.'
Friends With Benefits Explained
A few weeks back I promised my home girl Michelle that I would take her to the cinema to watch that Justin Timberland (as Mum says) film 'Friends With Benefits'. I kind of flopped her and then tried making it up to her by inviting her round to watch it on my laptop, but the copy was poor. She wasn't impressed. So that day we ended up doing something else.
I finally managed to get a good copy from Ming Xaio Leng Pei (The Chinese man that sells DVDs in my barbershop).
Oh and 'Ming Xaio Leng Pei' isn't actually his name - he just looks like one.
Anywaaay, Michelle and I watched the film and it made me think.
Can friends with benefits really work?
They say there are two types of people…
Type 1: The person that yearns for the married lifestyle. The person that loves the commitment of a true relationship. The person that is happy to look after someone else. The person that loves love.
Type 2: The person that claims they're just having 'fun'. The person that is trying to get as many conquests under their belt so they can brag to all their friends. The person who claims they're a player until someone comes and changes them. It never happens.
But what about the person in-between the two?
The majority of my male AND female friends are somewhat the 'in-betweeners'.
Okay, if you're confused as to what an 'in-betweener' is let me break it down…
There are people that want to go out and 'sleep' with someone without the headache that relationships bring and at the same time they may not want to go round sleeping with every Tom, Dick and Fanny.
Where do they stand? Are they supposed to just not have sex? Should they just Maths Debate?
This is where your Friends With a Benefit comes in handy, kind of like one of the lifelines on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire.
Imagine how great life would be if every time you didn't have an answer to something you could just choose the option to
Bone Phone a Friend?
Just to clear things up before we go further, there is a huge difference between a fxck buddy and a Friend With Benefit.
Fxck buddies are people used for sex. You sleep with them, they leave, that is all there is to it. You don't care about their Mum, you don't care about how their day was, and you don't care about anything except "are you coming over and do you have a way to get home before the morning!?"
So now that we've cleared up that common misconception. Let me briefly explain why I like the whole Friends With Benefits concept.
The keyword in 'Friends With Benefits' is not the 'Benefit' part. It's the 'friend'. You care about this person, you open up to this person and you can depend on this person. You call them to see how their day was, you lend them money and you may even call them for advice on another person you may currently fancy. The only thing that separates this person from the rest of your mates is mind blowing SEX!!
Anyway my room mate wants me to help him assemble some silly new table for our flat.
So I'm going to cut this short but the moral of story is Friends With Benefits are not as bad as they are made out to be. Just use a condom and everything will be fine.

Italian designer Luca Bar recently signed a motorcycle concept based on the Aprilia SXV 550. The bike is called Aprilia Street and it is a blend of cross and supermotard. Claimed to have an impressive power to weight ratio, it's clearly destined for the urban adventurer.
This one is definitely an eye-catcher and, hopefully, if it is seen by interested brands, we might just pop the big news.

Bonds based on pot sales?
The bond market has become so insane that 2 outrageous ideas are now taken seriously.
Neither? Ding! We have the right answer.
The financial situation is so precarious in California that some people there are considering issuing bonds backed by marijuana taxes. That's according to Amy Resnick, editor of The Bond Buyer.
Resnick attended the California Public Finance Conference recently and wrote on Twitter that some attendees think the market would accept those bonds if Proposition 19 passes. The proposition, headed to voters next month, would legalize marijuana for people older than 21. It would also allow local governments to collect taxes on pot sales.
Cities in California are already on board with marijuana taxes, particularly after seeing the revenue flow into the city of Oakland. The budget there is getting a $1 million-a-year boost from taxes on its four dispensaries, Bloomberg reports.
There are many reasons not to support a bond backed by pot taxes -- and they have nothing to do with your personal opinions about marijuana. The first question to ask is this: Does the federal government have the authority to override state laws on marijuana?
Marijuana use is illegal under federal law. The uneasy relationship between federal and state authorities in this area could change at any time, depending on how the political winds blow. There's no guarantee of a consistent flow of revenue from pot taxes. Post continues after video:
OK, well, how about the Mexican century bonds? The government is selling $1 billion in bonds due in 100 years and says it wants to take advantage of record-low yields to fund operations, Bloomberg reports. The yield on the 100-year bonds was at about 5.8% Thursday.
Analysts are wary of the bonds, with one saying it shows the credit market is approaching a bubble that is blinding investors, Bloomberg reported.
"I'm not seeing investor interest yet in 50-100-year bonds. This might create a market, but I'm skeptical," one analyst told the Financial Times. "Given the illiquidity, there are better uses for investors' cash."
But analysts from the company that arranged the sale -- GoldmanSachs (GS) -- were, not surprisingly, enthusiastic about the deal. "The appetite among investors for investments in Latin America is very strong," one told the FT.
I think this quote sums up bond mania nicely now. It's from two analysts at RBC, reprinted by Bloomberg: "The market overlooks fundamentals at its peril. Enjoy the party while it lasts, but caveat emptor; the music will surely stop at some stage, and when the party ends, the hangovers could be extreme."

I am one of three friends who opted for Ultherapy. At 45, I'm the youngest of the three. I had the procedure yesterday and although the results weren't as "extreme" as I was hoping they would be; I could see immediate results, though subtle. The procedure took a little over an hour, and we (my friend and I went back-to-back) spent most of the day waiting to be seen, for the medication to kick in, but there were lots of Interruptions. Our apt. was at 9:30 a.m. and we left the facility just in time to beat rush hour at 3:15 p.m. Connie, our technician seemed uber conscientious and really focused on my trouble areas -- around my eyes, my jawline, chin.Today, day two- I have some soreness around my eyes, and a bit of bruising around my right eye which apparently has more loose skin the my left.
As to the pain, overall it didn't bother me at all. I did feel discomfort when she did my lips, my eyes actually watered. But no pain no gain. Today, my skin feels taut and I'm hopeful that as the days progress, so will the results.
I was horrified at my before picture, when did I get old? We have our follow up at the end of November, I'll be curious to compare the before/after photos.
Will post updates.
Ultherapy in Land O' Hipsters - Portland, OR
I am one of three friends who opted for Ultherapy....
Day 3
Today a new bruise has appeared under my left eye. I guess I was more swollen than I thought. I'm so glad that Connie concentrated on my problem areas, and hope to see results around my eyes and jowls. There are tender spots still, but nothing unpleasant. Still crossing my fingers... ;-)
Our consultation was with Carol, who runs Pearl MedSpa's two locations. She was informative and professional. Our technician was Connie who, as mentioned earlier, was attentive and focused. My only complaint were the interruptions. I'm (we) are hopeful for results, but skeptical as of now.

I'm coming for you2 Reviews
Neon Glitter is Franks younger sister, abandonded in zone 3 she looks for answers to find her brother and the guys who, not to her knowledge, were killed in a mission to rescue missile kid
"GIVE THEM BACK!" The fun-sized ,hyperactive fun ghoul screamed in desperation,
"TAKE BACK WHAT YOU SAID THEN!" Wailed an equally desperate Kobra kid.
Yep, the same old happenings in our clustered little hideout in zone 3.
To my left, I heard Jet star utter out a low chuckle as Ghoul finally reached Kobra in an effort to get back his stash of beloved skittles due to the fact that he made a joke that unicorns worked for BLI.
Kobra loves unicorns.
He HATES BLI.
That was when all hell broke loose.
Yep, you heard me: a skittles and unicorns brawl,like I said, same old happenings.
I heard Party poison sigh,
"C'mon guys...HEY! GHOUL? WHAT THE HELL DUDE, SERIOUSLY?" he said, shaking his flame red head as he watched Fun Ghoul climed Kobra's back ,trying to keep his balance whilst reaching for the rainbow sweets in the other man's outstretched hand.
"FUN GHOUL! DUDE, why can't you be the sensible sibling for once?!"
I snorted, like that was ever going to happen, I was and always will be the the sensible one out of the Iero kids.
11 years younger than Ghoul, a young and niave 15 year old with long dark hair (currently tied in a plait) the same shade as the older Iero's hair and the same sort of facial features, we almost looked like twins, but of course the difference was that I had blonde highlights in my otherwise black hair, my eyes were grey and I am 11 years younger than Frank.
Ghoul heard my quiet snort apparently and shot a pouting glare in my direction,
"Shut it Neon Glitter."
I couldnt help the massive grin spreading on my face but it shattered when dozens of bullets came crashing through the walls, showering us with dust and debris.
"Everybody get the fuck DOWN and grab your ray guns!" Roared Party, his face a mask of grim determination and leadership.
We all did as told with probably the same sort of emotions taped onto our faces but as we began to crawl to safety, as abruptyly as it had started, the bullets stopped firing.
An echoing silence filled our battered hideout as an uneasy sense of forboding crept up from my stomach and gripped my chest so that my breathing was hitched and quiet in my throat.
Jet star was the first one to speak,
"What the fuck WAS that?" he muttered angrily
we looked around the room cautiously,
"Something's waiting for us outside" I whispered, everyone looked at me with wide astonished eyes but nodded.
"Jet star, Fun ghoul, come with me," announced Party,
"Mikes your hurt, stay here with Madison," he said in a softer tone, he then turned to me, a pleading look in his eyes,
"Look after him Madi, for me." I nodded, my gaze fixed firmly on Fun ghoul,
"Be careful, all of you." I whispered again,
"Always and forever baby sis, always and forever." I smiled at our old childhood promise and gave each of them a small wave as they stepped outside.
Me and Kobra waited.
We kept waiting but we never heard or saw anything from them, the sense of dread hadn't left me at all and I felt it tighten around my chest once more,
"I'm gonna go outside,'kay?" I looked at Kobra kid,
"Wait," he stared at me,
"I'll come too."
I helped nim onto his feet as he had been shot in the lower leg and made our way unsteadily to the door.
There was no-one there.
I looked again.
Nothing. I turned to Kobra, he was gone.
I was Alone.
And thats how the dream always ended.
A/N: Whatd'ya think? if u liked it then keep an eye out as im probably gonna hold an audition for some other characters, Rate and Review my beauties!

Little project to hone my photography. Inspired by Henri Cartier-Bresson (who spent most of his career using a Leica Rangefinder with only a 50mm lens), I try to carry my little D40 with a 50mm f/1.8 lens wherever I go… and limit myself to using full manual focus and camera settings. Lets keep it old skool…

Is There a Cheaper Way to Refill Sodastream Canisters?
Good Questions
Q: I was wondering if you had any tips where I can get CO2 canisters for my Soda Stream refilled for cheaper than buying new or exchanging at Williams-Sonoma.
Sent by Lisa
Editor: Lisa, I have wondered about this too, and I noticed that a reader left a comment with a clue on this post:
• Caution: The Story Of The Empty SodaStream Carbonator
Reader windycitypete says: "I did the math and decided it was better to refill my containers myself. I bought a 20lb siphon tank and a adapter valve online. now whenever i need a refill i just goto the garage and fillup. no waiting for the refill which is nice cause i use them up alot. Upfront investment was around $250. Worth considering your ROI if you end up spending alot on refills. Also consider splitting the cost with friends if they have a sodastream too."
Has anyone else tried this?

Argh I have this problem all the time--and being a city-dweller have no garage to use. I exchange mine at Zabar's, though, for not too much money! I think it's like $15? I'm sure there are other stores in the city that will do the same thing.
Our SF hardware store (Coles) has them and I wait to get their coupon in the mail before stocking up.
Contact your local homebrewing shop. They should be able to tell you where you can get your canister refilled. We've got a kegerator with beer (for hubby) and rootbeer (for kids) and my hubby gets the canister refilled all the time.
If you're in the Detroit or Ann Arbor, MI, area, check out Adventures in Homebrewing.
I think BBB has them and they have the $5 or 20% off coupon often.
Crate and Barrel sells the exchange refills ($14.95 each). Bed, Bath and Beyond sells the machines, so they must sell the exchange refills too.
Maybe Amazon carries them too?
I exchange at BBB with the 20% off coupon all the time and it ends up being about $12.
If you live in Brooklyn, WHISK in Williamsburg exchanges them for $15. It's a great deal.
Wait, you can use the BB&B 20% off coupon on the canister refills? That is life-altering info. I go through a canister every 3 weeks, so that's a decent amount of annual savings.
Here in B.C. Canada, I get them at London Drugs. They don't usually have coupons for them though. It's still cheaper than buying bottled fizzy though.
yes BBB takes the coupons. I use the $5 off $15 and get the canister for $10 at mine.
agreed with LisaHartjes,
Some more crafty homebrewers have old soda canisters (back when soda came in big tanks carbonated and not just syrup) and would be your best bet to ask for resources to get them refilled. But be warned, the places they send you will most likely be into a little more heavy duty things than filling a water bottle looking canister for you and you may get some chuckles when you go!
Just re-read my comment and saw it made little sense- I meant many homebrewers use old soda canisters for their beer that need carbonated once filled, so homebrew shops would be able to tell you local places that they send their brewers who need to pressurize their canisters.
most ACE hardware stores will also do it for $15. but i never thought to try BBB with the coupons! excellent idea.
I do the same as windycitypete. We purchased a big tank through a restaurant my husband works at with a siphon attachment and now we fill ours at home. Saves SO much money! We fill our main canister every few months and we drink around 20 bottles a day of carbonated water.
I did the same as windycitypete and hot tea. Per-liter refill cost is around 1.2 cents. A 20-pound tank costs around $18 to refill, and will do around 20-25 refills of Sodastream's 14.5 oz ("60 L") tank. Here's a blog entry I did about it, with some links to the suppliers:
I found a place in brooklyn that fills them for $5.00 and $10.00 on the spot. Its brooklyn Paintball and Amusment. . For me it was worth the trip and I didn't need to keep any large tanks around my children.
I always went to Basics Plus in the city... they have stores all over NYC, but I always went to the one on 45th & 2nd. They never run out of stock there & I think you can not get them anywhere cheaper. I now live in Brooklyn, and started to order them from their website (www.basicsplus.com). I think they don't deliver outside Manhattan, so I always get them delivered to my work now. I'm pretty happy with them.
You have to go to http://www.criticalpaintball.com/SodaMod-p/sodastream-sodamod.htm
and make sure you have a store anywhere around you who refills tanks (usually a paintball store is your best best). Once you get the SodaMod ($60) and the tank (the video link describes which tank is best for which machine) it's usually only $2-4 at a paintball store to fill :-)
Go Check out www.SodaCO2.com. They have multiple options for refilling your sodastream carbonator. They also have great recipes and tips! Awesome site for sodastream users.
You can buy dry ice (aka, frozen CO2) at many grocery stores for about $2 per pound. Since a 30L SodaStream cylinder holds about a pound of CO2, you can refill them for about $3 this way. (I usually get 1.5 pounds to account for evaporation between the grocery store and getting the dry ice in the cylinder.) It only takes about 5 minutes. I made a video to show how to do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YouxAodQXv8&feature=c4-overview&list=UUi3s6qwTcD99sZjZuT4e33g
I found a new cheaper soda club service online or locally in the myrtle beach area that refills soda stream tanks or exchanges them starting at $5 .
Refilling your own tanks takes special caution and special equipment so I just get all my refills done here.
I used to own a sodastream but was fed up with their proprietary filling system. I ended up making my own which you can see here: http://bit.ly/HomeCarbonation
I get my exchanged at a local Water Depot, with tax it's $20.33 and I need a refill every other month so it's not so bad.
I use the products from www.Sodaco2.com and have good results. I had some questions early on that were answered quickly. Since then I can refill for pennies on the dollar. Check them out.

Narrow your search
Broken modes, both online and off, bring the otherwise enjoyable Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed to a screeching halt.
The Sony Xperia TL is a fantastic value and Sony's best U.S. smartphone yet.
The addition of Wi-Fi makes the RIM BlackBerry 8820 an even more powerful communication device for business users, taking it beyond just e-mail and phone calls.
The $99.99 Sony Xperia Ion looks like a good Android deal but its weaknesses make it not worth even the budget price.
The Toshiba Excite 10 SE looks like, and is, a generic budget-range 10-inch Android tablet...nothing more, nothing less.
The AT&T Fusion is fine if you're a patient soul who doesn't expect much in a handset but wants to make the jump to Android. For everyone else, I suggest you move on.
The Sharp FX has plenty of multimedia features and additional services to occupy socialites and text-happy users, but mediocre call quality and some usability flaws keep it from fulfilling its complete potential.
For the globe-trotting executive, the RIM BlackBerry 8830 is a powerful voice and messaging tool that offers world roaming and solid performance.
The Toshiba Thrive 7-inch is a decent tablet, but there are simply better options out there for the price.
The Toshiba Thrive is a bulky but aggressively priced Honeycomb tablet that earns its girth with full port support and a removable battery.

Be sure to click on the The Light Tamer tab (above) and see the audio cover.

I'll tell you a little about myself (yawn). I'm Devyn and I write paranormal YA books about the characters that live in my head. I love reading paranormal books and love hearing about new authors. I prefer young adult books, but will read grown-up books on occasion. I was always considered the 'eccentric girl' the one with the big imagination and colorful stories. I'm from Oklahoma City, a place I'll always call home. Right now I live in the lush green and humid climate of New Bern, North Carolina. I was Goth before Goth was a style, I wanted to be Star from The Lost Boys and knew Keifer would one day find me and we'd fall madly in love.

Thank you all! Devyn

Parents and caregivers often are aware of the importance of whooping cough vaccines for children – and it's just as important to remind adults that they need the vaccine, too. Increasing the Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis) vaccination among adults helps prevent the spread of disease and protects the most vulnerable, particularly young infants.
This effort is called "cocooning," or vaccinating everyone who comes into close contact with an infant. Infants are most likely to suffer the most severe consequences of whooping cough, including prolonged illness, hospitalization, and death.
Reported cases of pertussis (whooping cough) are on the rise in Colorado and El Paso County recently. As of early October this year, 976 cases of pertussis had been reported across the state. El Paso County cases have begun to increase after the start of school, with 49 cases for the year this far. El Paso County Public Health is urging people, especially those who care for infants and toddlers, to get vaccinated in order to help prevent an outbreak in El Paso County.
The Pikes Peak Flu and Immunization Coalition recognizes this community-wide problem, and has partnered with state and El Paso County Public Health to conduct free Tdap and flu shot clinics for child care workers. The clinics will be held November 10 and December 8 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Fire Department Headquarters, 375 Printers Parkway in Colorado Springs.
A substantial number of pertussis cases occur in adults (29 percent of all cases between 2009 and 2011 in El Paso County). Adolescents and adults with pertussis may have delayed diagnosis or not seek medical care at all, but are infectious and can spread disease within their homes, workplaces, or schools.
Pertussis is described as a bacterial infection within the respiratory tract that is easily spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. After exposure to pertussis, symptoms typically begin in 7-10 days. The illness begins with sneezing, a runny nose and mild cough, but becomes more severe during the first week or two. It is characterized by coughing fits which may be followed by a high-pitched whooping, vomiting or a pause in breathing, and may last up to six weeks before gradually improving.
According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), the vaccine for pertussis is given in combination with vaccines for diphtheria and tetanus. The recommendation for the vaccination is that a total of five doses be given in childhood at two, four, six, 15 to 18 months, and between four to six years. Single doses are recommended for children 11 to 12 years of age or for adolescents and adults who have never received the vaccination.
Take additional steps to prevent the spread of disease:

Hail to the Redskins, Hail to the Redskins — on to Victory!!
Or so the Redskins theme song plays at FedEx Field. Fortunately, our Chiefs were the beneficiaries of another bailout from our Nation's capitol. In doing so, our boys in red avoided setting a new record for Chief futility. In 1977, the Chiefs began their season 0-5, defeated the Chargers and then got blowout by the Browns 44-10. That 1-6 start was enough for a middle-aged Lamar Hunt, who promptly fired head coach Paul Wiggins. He was replaced by his defensive coordinator, Tom Bettis, who led the Chiefs to victory the next weekend over the Packers before finishing the season with consecutive losses.
Just like the stock market bottoming out to the 6700's, the Chief's perhaps have bottomed out with three wins out of the last 31 games. Particularly encouraging was the play of Tamba Hali, Glenn Dorsey and the defense as a whole. The makeshift O-line with two journeymen offensive tackles — Wade Smith (left) and Ryan O'Callaghan (right) — did a credible performance against the strength of the Redskins — Albert Haynesworth and company. Matt Cassel continues to demonstrate poise and leadership, both of which have been lacking in K.C for years.
As for the Redskins, perhaps they should adopt the old adage previously reserved for the old Washington Senators.
Washington: first in war, first in peace and last in the NFC East!
Congrats to Scott Pioli, Todd Haley, the Chiefs and ALL YOU ADDICTS!

PIEPER: Caregivers need to have plan in place for emergency
Over the years I have read and heard many discussions about whether it is more difficult to provide care for a parent who lives a great distance away or one who lives just a short drive down the road. Having had some personal acquaintance with both situations, I think it's a moot question. Both are hard.
The real issue is that these situations often require different responses from caregivers. As a rule, distance caregiving requires more advance preparation. The downward health trajectory of seniors is rarely a smooth one where you can predict with some certainty when a certain level of care will be needed.
It usually is a crisis that lets you know if you are prepared. For instance, you may have noticed that the senior has been having problems with balance when walking. However, the call you get in the middle of the night telling you the senior has fallen and broken her hip will let you know if you are ready. At that point, you need to have your plan set and ready to go.
The fact that you are some distance away becomes a major issue. It's one thing to be able to jump into your car, drive across town and personally intervene in the care process to follow. It is another if the earliest you can be with your senior is on the following afternoon. In this latter situation, you need to have a plan in place that you can activate until you can get there and take charge.
Depending on your situation and needs, you can tailor your personal plan, but there are some common tasks that need to be done.
You must have a reliable contact person where your senior is located to be your eyes, ears and voice. Keep in frequent communication with this person so you have a continuing picture of how your senior is doing.
This person will be your source of information during a crisis until you can get there. The contact can be a nearby relative, your senior's neighbor, someone at church or a member of a group to which the senior belongs. You and this person need to exchange all relevant contact information.
If none of these options is available, look for a geriatric care manager in your senior's city.
You should have established communication with your senior's physicians and other caregivers. These people also need to have all of your contact information.
With their help, you should develop a list of all of the senior's medicines.
Consider the health care facilities available in the area. Have them picked out ahead of time if you want any control over where your senior is sent. This includes hospitals, rehabilitation services and nursing homes.
You might want to consider a funeral home. This is all information you can obtain on the Internet in an afternoon.
Make sure you have all of your senior's legal papers (power of attorney, etc.) in order, and have copies at hand to take with you. You will need Medicare and other insurance numbers early in the emergency.
Finally, think a bit about your own exit strategy. If you had to leave home on a moment's notice, what would be the most efficient way to do so? If you had to stay with your senior for a week, who would you ask to take care of things at home or at work?
This column has covered just some emergency matters. Things can get more complex with ongoing distance caregiving and we'll take a look at some of these issues in future columns.
