...and tell you I'm sorta alive. I can't draw anything ever anymore. I'm working on two 18x36" paintings of flowers right now. Here's a crappy cellphone shot that my mom snuck of me working on one as of a few days ago:
I'm almost done. I just have to paint some leaves and pray I don't run out of paint.
The other one I'm gonna try to do in Florian Nicolle's style, which could totally fail, but I'm willing to try it. XD It'll be weird, because I'm going to try using paper mache. o____o" And as I learned with my last two paper mache projects, I have a large chance of failbombing, haha.
I have drawn some other things, but my sister's friend accidentally deleted it when she used my open Photoshop window, which I'm actually not too put out about--even though I liked it a lot. >.> And I also have a landscape thing that I started, but I gave up because it was awful. Sooo yeah. That's all I really have for now, fail.
Hope you guys had a nice Valentine's/Groundhog's Day, haha.

Seefy. Your worst work is many times beyond my best. I've seen professionals who suck compared to you. A LOT of them.
Holy mother of love, these are amazing! o___O
Wow, everyone's levelling up...I feel sorta left behind.
Sheesh Seef, I've missed your art. That painting is beautiful -- I can't paint for crap. D: Did you sketch out the image before you started painting it? Also, is that white paint over the brown or did you just use brown around it?
Wow. Ceefy your improvement has been amazing. It's so awesome to see people improve while staying on this site through the years :')
○ Sparky: Yeah, these things come and go, don't they? And thank you very much. :]
○ Matt: Well you also haven't been drawing as long! You'll catch up in like a moth. XD And skill doesn't mean terribly much in any field today. You just have to know the right people, hence why people like Ke$ha have record deals. . . .
○ Renzo: Thanks, bro! And don't worry about it. Sometimes I actually go backward in art skill for a while. Just keep at it. <3
○ T: Aw, thank you. I can't paint very well either, but I'm determined to keep learning. I sketched a fast line drawing after painting the background, then I used white paint to go over it. I would have preferred that the white be the canvas itself, but this is an old canvas that used to have a businessman, trees, and an array of skyscrapers all over it, so that didn't exactly work out. XD
○ Slurpee: You words are always so kind, Slurpee. Thank you for sticking around and encouraging me. :]
♠ O f f . t a s k
Today in Alaska History, my teacher was droning about the war between the Tlingit and Aleut (pronounced clink-it and ally-oot) native tribes and the Russians a couple hundred years ago.
I drew Matt's Naomi in OOC clothing, because I can never her regular outfitting. XD I'm practicing drawing long hairstyles, so I might be drawing his OCs a lot (none of my characters have much hair, save for Gen and Di, who are boring old farts).
The way I wrote Naomi's name probably came from some nuclear fusion of Xu Bing and Alphonse Mucha, haha:
Xu Bing is a Chinese calligrapher that uses Roman letters (ABCDEF etc) to create fake Chinese sinographs (characters). If you look closely the large characters each form a word in English. From the top-left going down, working your way right, you should be able to read, "Little Bo Peep, Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep and can..."
And Mucha, well. We all know him. XD
I drew some other things, but I lost track of them. o____o"

Hey it's been a while Seefy!!
It's so refreshing to see someone draw an elf in a pretty, innocent way -dare I say Tolkienesque? Pop culture and videogames have rendered elves to some hybrid between human and oversexed kangaroo so often to the point that I want to scream every time I see another scantily clad... anyways coming out of my ramble I think she looks really nice. xD ... are you going to give her dress/possibly blouse a design?
And DUDE. I totally freaked out because I thought you were the one who made the Florian Nicolle drawings. Not to say that I expected any less, and it would be great to see what you can cook up with... ink and ballpoint over newsprint? Amirite?
Hey, Hamachi! It feels like foreverrrrr.
Thanks! I've actually never read or seen Lord of the Rings, but my impression of Tolkien's elves seem to be modest, so you might be onto something. And I think she might be half human half nymph, but I could be wrong. DX (Maybe I would know all the juicy details is Matt wrote some more--HINTHINTHINT.) I might fix it up. Redo her nonexistent right shoulder and strange neck. But some part of me still likes the armless classical stature look, too. XD
Oh no! I'm no where near as good. Florian Nicolle is amazing and has a few Daily Deviations on DA, if I'm not mistaken (under the name Neo-innov). And yes, you would be right! But it could get really tricky because Nicolle is a digital artist and I'm trying to paint. *chinstroke* Suggestions for making large areas of text other than newspaper?
Man, I love it when other people draw my characters better than I do. Ironic thing is, when I was 13-14, Naomi wasn't modest at all, but I decided, like Hamachi (only after the Opeil chapter, though), that I love the modest representation of fantasy characters (yes, it's half-nymph in this case. There are already too many elven hookers around already.
And Seefy, that style of writing is great. I wanna try that stuff now.

Cyber architect James Law designed an unbelievable skyscraping residential complex for real estate company Wadhwa Group in Mumbai, India. One of the most outstanding and eye-popping features of the facility includes a series of swimming pools placed within each balcony. These pools appear like floating gelatinous molds extending at the edge of each apartment's balcony.
Known as Aquaria Grande, it's comprised of two 37-story towers that boast modern and unique architectural design with several high-end amenities. With over 200 apartments, each unit features three-sided natural light which also allows for cross-ventilation. There is an indoor club house that includes a gym and sauna, three levels of vehicle parking space, and a sustainable podium garden. Making eco-friendliness a priority of the towers' modern design, the structures include energy efficient glass facades to reduce energy consumption.

Actually, yes.. the pool balconies did make it. My son has some friends who were in India recently and got to swim in one. You wouldn't get me in one of those (fear of heights, you know), but I think it's a really cool design element.
Doesn't look like the pool balconies made the final cut as it doesn't show up in any of the other renderings (pictures).
Uzasne !!! Hlavne tie balkony !!!

Oceania Exclusive Tour
For those travelers who prefer an added measure of intimacy and flexibility, we are pleased to offer our new Oceania Exclusive tours. With a minimum of 10 guests and a maximum capacity of just 16 guests, each tour benefits from a higher level of personal attention and the added flexibility and agility that come from traveling in a small group.
Oceania Exclusive tours are available for a specially selected number of tours in almost every port we visit, in every corner of the world.
After leaving the pier, our tour begins by proceeding along a picturesque and twisting road, passing typically Greek country villages on the way to Epidaurus, which is situated on the cool slopes of a beautifully wooded valley. Epidaurus is known for its stunning ancient theater. One of the most important sanctuaries in the ancient world, Epidaurus was dedicated to the God of Medicine, Asklepios. The world famous Theater of Epidaurus, built in the 4th century BC, is a marvel of harmony and acoustics and the best preserved ancient theater in Greece. Built out of limestone, it seats 12,000 spectators. Attending the performances of ancient drama during the summer season is an unforgettable experience.
After your guided tour at the theater, you will have free time to take a stroll, photographs, or purchase refreshments at an area café.
After you reboard the coach and return to Nauplion, you will visit the fabulous Venetian fortress of Palamidi with its splendid views over the hill of Argonauplia, the town of Nauplion and the Bourtzi offshore. The fortress is very well-preserved and this great mass of masonry, with walls and fortifications that made it impregnable, broods menacingly over the town.

With the addition of electric train service on the Long Beach Branch Sunday, the LIRR is now operating a near-normal weekday and regular weekend schedule on all branches systemwide.
Starting Monday, Nov. 26, with the addition of the Long Beach electric service, the LIRR's weekday schedule represents an average 80 percent of the LIRR's regular rush hour capacity.
Twenty-six of the LIRR's 143 morning rush hour trains will be canceled or diverted to another terminal. In the evening rush hour, of the 127 trains the LIRR operates, 27 will be canceled.
Overall, across the entire day, the adjustments provide for approximately 92 percent of normal weekday service capacity.
"The Long Island Rail Road's Long Beach Branch was not spared the devastation that was brought upon Long Beach and the surrounding communities by Sandy," Governor Cuomo said. "I commend the intensive efforts made by the LIRR to clean, repair and replace the critical components in the flood-damaged electrical substations and signal equipment to restore the vital transportation link the Railroad provides as these hard-hit communities begin to rebuild."
Amtrak is continuing their work to make permanent repairs to the signal system in two of their East River tunnels flooded during the superstorm. The temporary repairs, which allowed the tunnels to be reopened earlier this month, reduces the number of trains that can travel through the tunnels. Amtrak estimates that the repair to the salt water-damaged signal system is not expected to be completed until the end of the year. The LIRR has been in close contact with Amtrak on the repair plan and effort.
As a result of the reduced tunnel capacity, the LIRR's weekday schedule continues to include canceled and/or diverted trains during the morning and evening rush hours through the end of the year.
LIRR Customers Should Anticipate Crowding
Because service continues to be limited on weekdays, waits will be longer and trains will be more crowded. Customers are advised to allow extra travel time, expect 10-15 minute delays. In the evening rush hour, customers should expect crowded conditions in Penn Station. Customers are advised to stagger work hours and travel in off-peak hours, if possible, to help reduced crowding in the peak periods.
For More Information
Customers should monitor news reports, the MTA website, www.mta.info, and sign up for free E-Alerts for updates on LIRR service. Customers can also contact the LIRR's Travel Information Center by calling 511, the New York State Travel Information Line, and say: Long Island Rail Road. If you are deaf or hard of hearing, use your preferred relay service provider for the free 711 relay to reach LIRR at 511.

During recent oral arguments the justices showed gross ignorance of the subject, its history and the long struggle for gay and lesbian equality.
Justice Alito complained that "same-sex marriage was very new." He apparently never heard of the Stonewall riots, a series of spontaneous and violent demonstrations in 1969 by gays against a police raid at the Stonewall Inn in New York City's Greenwich Village.
It was the beginning of the gay liberation movement like the beginning of women's liberation at Geneva Falls in 1848 and the beginning of black liberation at Selma, Ala., in 1965.
Many justices seemed unaware that the term gay has long been used instead of homosexual. Some spoke of the "sanctity of marriage," oblivious of the fact that 50 percent of marriages end in divorce. The justices seemed uneasy with the subject, as if the matter was intruding on their "more important duties" of interpreting the law.
The saddest aspect of the oral arguments was the right-wing views of two usual liberals, Justices Ginsburg and Sotomayor. Their queasiness was dumbfounding.
"We let issues perk and so we let racial segregation perk for 56 years from 1898 to 1954," Sotomayor said. An absurd view. Fifty-six years is much too long to end gross injustice. Sotomayor uttered more nonsense about the states and society needing more time "to figure out" gay marriage.
She too was sleeping like Rip Van Winkle through the whole same-sex marriage controversy. Ginsburg, while approving the Roe decision, has lectured constantly that the abortion issue "moved too far, too fast." More nonsense from a justice who should know better.
While the reactionary Scalia railed about the "possible destructive effects" of gay couples adopting children, Justice Kennedy noted rightly that "40,000 children in California living with gay parents want their parents to have full recognition and status." Yet Kennedy wrongly argued for the right of states to regulate marriage. Gay marriage is a constitutional matter, not something that should be made law by political cretins in the states or by backward people.
Public opinion in California decided in Proposition 8 to ban gay marriage. It was a perfect example of the public being so often wrong. Columnist Maureen Dowd of the New York Times zeroed in on the problem: "civil rights should not hinge on the whims of the people."
Nation columnist Melissa Harris-Perry pointed to another truth: "For decades LGBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender) people have had families built on commitment, love and parental devotion." They deserve all the rights of heterosexual couples.
As for the congressional Defense of Marriage Act, it is indefensible. Justice Kagan observed that the act was passed by Congress out of "dislike, animus and fear."
Whatever the court rules in June, the battle is already won. Respondents to a nationwide poll recently said they approved of gay marriage 58 to 36 percent. The margin was even wider among young people: 81 percent. Even right-wing kook Rush Limbaugh admitted "the issue is lost."
There never is a "right time" to end discrimination. The time is now, not the delay the Supreme Court promises. As Martin Luther King said: "The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice."

1420 29th St, Sacramento, CA | Directions 9581638.568478 -121.470233
Neighborhoods: Central Sacramento, Midtown
Yummy tacos – I like their tacos, it tastes good. And their staff is very approachable.
Jimboy compassion – The first and only time I thought I had money but after ordering I found I didn't have enough money to pay for the meal. I pared it down to the minimum and was just short. The person behind the counter took money out of her pocket to pay the quarter I was lacking. This is something we don't see in business anymore.... This kind act has brought me back to repay her and put some extra money in the coin jar for others who may be missing a few cents.
I think they need to make tacos and burritos iaw what corporate wants them to make them, they are on the small side.
But because of the counter person compassion, I would recommend this, but also challenge customers to ensure they are receiving a 'correct' taco. There should be meat covering half of the tortilla and with a slightly crispy shell unless otherwise modified by the customer,
Worst Ever – This place is reprehensible. The cheese is American, the menu is entirely overpriced, and the most enjoyable part of it was the atmosphere. Even that lacked sincerity. One thing that would help is if this American-based business would hire people that speak English. Another thing that could really boost their reputation would be to charge a reasonable amount for a taco. Come on, fast food should not be as expensive as eating at a normal restaurant.
I dine at Jimboy's on Fulton Ave – Wow, look at all the reviews!
I eat at the one on Fulton Ave. It's been there for years.
As far as the News & Review thing, isn't the right of the restaurant what publications they provide?
If you don't get the Sunday Taco Special, I think the food is priced a little high.
However, it's some good greasy food!
Read my full review, just Google: Sacramento Blog Uncut
bigoted homophobes – I currently have a boycott petition signed by 487 people in my immediate neighborhood.
Jimboy's decision to stop offering the FREE sacramento news and review paper simply because awhile back it featured an article about gay people getting married is reprehensible, and unforgiveable.
they can shove their nasty tacos up where the sun doesn't shine. Try coming into the 21'st century you bigots!! the boycott will also include 24 hour fitness for following suit. you see gay people can affect your business as well!!
JIMBOYS IS THA BOMB – I don't know why some ppl gave negative thoughts HATERS Jimboys is the best eventhough its not authentic it serves the purpose, I wish there was a Jimboys in southern cali that would be great, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
need to learn english – I was not happy with the service i resived there the person that worked the conter could not speack english hardly at all they got my order wrong 3 times. The food was good once they got the order right.
Jim Boy Taco's, Roseville California – Jim boy Taco's at the Roseville auction in California are ones not to miss. I live in Dallas Texas and make it a point to stop by there any time I visit Sacramento. They are the best !!! I too order extra taco's for a later meal. If theres a line to the window to order it is well worth the wait.
A huge grease slick - don't do it – On my first (and only) visit, I ordered two items - and when I received them, there was a HUGE grease slick underneath them. I have never in my life received food that greasy that there was a massive oil slick underneath. I was appalled, and barely ate 1/8 of it before I was so overwhelmed by oozing grease that I had to toss the rest.
I die for Jimboys – I used to live in the Bay area in Northern California and maybe twice a year, my father and I drove five hours to go to Jimboys. We would then by 40 extra tacos and burritos and bring them back with us and freeze them. Pathetic, maybe. But they're that good! When we lived in Illinois and visited Sacramento, we would again buy 40 tacos and burritos and bring them on the plane with us. The other passengers were ticked, but man - this is the best food I've ever had. I miss the red dripping grease...

The Canadian dollar has been out in the cold lately, failing to rise when oil prices strengthened but slipping when oil started to slide.
This strategist says the loonie is worth another look.
In fact, Sue Trinh, a senior currency strategist at RBC Capital Markets, sees three reasons why the Canadian dollar could be primed for a move higher.
Reason one is expectations. Friday's strong Canadian employment report led investors to lower their expectations of interest rate cuts, "there are still too many rate cuts priced in," in Trinh's view.
The next reason has an acronym: CERI. This weighted average of exchange rates for the Canadian dollar against the currencies of Canada's major trading partners has fallen 3.6 percent since mid-January, Trinh says. But at the same time, the gap between what Canada pays for oil and receives for oil exports has narrowed in Canada's favor. That suggests the loonie is a relative bargain.
Then there is investor positioning. It is, Trinh says, "less of a hindrance—CAD longs have been cleaned out over the last two months. Net positioning is now short and at levels last seen in March 2007."
The thaw may not last long term. But for now, Trinh says, there is good reason to think the loonie is ready to lift off.

Arianne Phosphate Inc.
"There's an advanced phosphate developer in Quebec that I like called Arianne Phosphate Inc. It currently has an NI 43-101 feasibility study completed. Arianne has a very high-grade phosphate deposit at Lac � Paul in Quebec. The feasibility study shows a 25-year mine life with annual production of 3 million tonnes of phosphate concentrate with a grade of 38.6% P2O5. There are many zones still to explore that will expand the resource. The feasibility study shows that after beneficiation, the resource will provide among the highest P2O5 grades in the world. I think the company is an attractive takeover target given its location in Quebec, the vertical integration of the phosphate market and the very strong economics of the project.

Over Easy1 of 11
By Natasha Burton
Being entirely comfortable around your spouse is one of the great perks of married life. However, there's a big difference between feeling content and relaxed in your relationship, and just being plain old lazy. We asked Heather Porter, author of the upcoming book Body Back, a comprehensive how-to guide for women adjusting to motherhood—and happily married mother of four—for her perspective on 10 signs that your relationship is too comfortable, and to share her tested tips for breaking out of these ruts.
Only Talking Logistics2 of 11
"With careers and kids, couples can slip into a parallel existence," says Porter. Often, this leads busy parents to chat solely about carpool schedules or who's in charge of packing lunches, leaving little room for real conversation. To remedy this, Porter suggests making time to talk about non-family related issues so you can reconnect as a couple.
Skipping Romance3 of 11
Another consequence of a busy household and getting too stuck in your routine is forgetting the romance that brought you together as a couple in the first place. "Plan a night to get away together or for kids to be away so you can have a romantic night in," recommends Porter. She also advises keeping the conversation positive. "Don't talk about the kids or the person you dislike at work all night."
Dressing Down4 of 11
Sweatpants may be much cozier than those form-fitting jeans, but if you're perpetually donning clothes you wouldn't be caught dead wearing out in public, then you may be a little too comfortable in your relationship (and that goes for men, too!). Getting dolled up daily is a little unrealistic, so try swapping your flannel PJs for a more feminine alternative, says Porter, who suggests getting a pretty night gown instead. "It can still be a little sexy, just not see-through, if you have kids."
Not Making An Effort5 of 11
Like clothing, your beauty routine can easily hit slump mode as time to primp gets harder to come by. But just taking five minutes to spruce yourself up shows your spouse that you still want to look good for him. On date nights, "book the babysitter to come early so that you have time to get ready," says Porter.
Lashing Out6 of 11
It's all too easy to go for the jugular when you're angry with your partner: Knowing him as well as you do, his insecurities, vulnerabilities and shortcomings are at your disposal and, in the face of conflict or hurt feelings, it can be difficult not to use them as ammunition. However, "respect is very important in a relationship," Porter says. "If that slips, you must concentrate on getting it back." Being aware of your words and talking openly about how you speak to each other when you're stressed or fighting will allow you to work together to solve the issue.
Losing Outside Interests7 of 11
Your marriage and family are the cornerstones of your life. That said, having other things going on in your life—hobbies, passions, projects—help you continue to grow as an individual and stay interesting to your partner, says Porter. "You are still an individual, albeit part of a couple. And, because your partner isn't doing them with you, your interests are something different you can enjoy chatting about."
Ignoring His Passions8 of 11
In the beginning of a relationship, we happily engage in all sorts of activities just to spend time around the person with whom we're smitten. As time goes by, we get less tolerant of indulging our partners, or we start complaining the moment we're not having fun. Try straying from your comfort zone to show your spouse that you care about his interests. "Do something together that he would love, like going to a soccer game or a restaurant you're not keen on," Porter says. "Enjoy the fact that he's delighted you've gone."
Getting Lazy With Affection9 of 11
When young and in love, most couples can't keep their hands off each other. But, as the novelty of your spouse wears off, your desire to smother him in kisses may wane too. Porter advises keeping affection as a daily part of your relationship. "Give him a big hug when he comes home this evening or, if you come home last, go find him for a hug," she says. "Be attentive and make him feel special, as he should you!"
Not Wooing Each Other10 of 11
Just because the honeymoon period of your relationship is long past, that doesn't mean you should stop courting your partner. Porter suggests surprising your husband with a gift. "It doesn't need to be expensive, just a token that you care, like a book on a subject he is interested in," she suggests. "Buy it out of the blue and sit together when you pass it to him—don't just hand it over the kitchen table, as you will downgrade the moment." For a totally free gesture, "send loving texts during the day when you're apart."
Forgetting Where You Came From11 of 11
In addition to bestowing little tokens of love, actively remembering the times when your relationship first began can also stave off feelings of monotony. "It is most important to remember who you both are and what made you fall in love in the first place," Porter says. "Reminisce about fun times you had together."

Bimini Trip Part 1
Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, and sometimes in the middle of nowhere you find yourself. -Author unknown
Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ah, the infamous "cast trip." We have seen every city embark on one. Housewives have traveled far and wide from Kenya to Ojai all seeking the same thing: healing. After enduring months of filming, a little healing trip is just what the doctor ordered. But is true healing possible? Can we really heal the wounds that we either deliberately or negligently inflicted upon each other throughout the course of this season? Call me cynical, call me jaded, but I was not optimistic. I'm not sure there are enough Band-Aids in the western hemisphere to stop the bleeding of our gaping wounds, but (for the most part), we tried.
Bimini is an idyllic setting. It's so close to home and yet seems thousands of miles away. What a shame that the weather did not cooperate. Elsa's prediction was eerily accurate.
We boarded the plane with high spirits, good energy, and a lot of Adriana's luggage. I was grateful that we did not need the flare guns or the flotation devices that Marysol kept demanding.
The houses were just beautiful and our rooming arrangements predictably safe. Perhaps mixing it up a bit would have aided in the "healing" process but considering our history as a group, playing it safe was a good idea. A girls trip is always fun and this was no exception. I love spending time with Alexia and Marysol, and once Adriana arrived -- it was a full house.
you were just jealous karnet was banging a hot guy
and you were not
Why delight in someone elses misery? Don't you have what you want in life? You need to smile more and stop the brooding on camera...you are depressing the viewers....you look like you need to stay out of your ex husbands life, because you clearly don't want him to move on...he will never be able to have a serious relationship living in the same town with you....you might not want him, but you don't want anyone else to have him, that is evident...he doesn't seem to have any attachment to you....i feel embarrassed for you that you are so clinging to a man that wants to get away so he can either have one serious commitment or many one night stands....
Ana...I truly liked you a lot prior to last night's episode....how can you and Alexia on LIVE TV laugh when Karent came in with the news of her father being gravely ill???? What is wrong with you women?????? I am not shocked about Alexia...but it was truly a shocker coming from you. I don't know you...but...you seemed bright enough being an attorney that you would have the intelligence of not laughing when someone is in pain and worried over her father's condition...especially knowing your being filmed???? no brainer?
Shame on you!
Ana i love your sense of loyalty always speaking up for what you believe ! I think you handled the telling Karent very well you didn't say nothing , and you could of said "told you so" and also told her that you werent the "ANA" texting her Rodolfo, which she had accused you off and when you denied it she smiled and said "Rodolfo doesn't have time for drama" insinuating you did! well Rodolfo sure had time to stirr up some drama afterall ! You ladies didn't cause this or made it up, a pic is worth a thousand words, but she is the queen of denial!
You seem to be the most logical of the bunch but I can't understand why you are so concerned with Karent's relationship with her boyfriend? ITs NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! You are not her friend and seem to take every opportunity (with Alexia) to tear her apart. Its just sooo mean I though you were all about empowing other women and being a good role model? NOT!
Your voice sounds just like Alexia's. And you're mean just like her. You two should enroll in a high school for the 50 years old. The nerve you mentioned Karant's age......jeeezz how deep you want to put your foot in your pretty mouth!
For a lawyer, you come across very narrow minded and bias. Why would you stick your nose in the Marysol and Lea disagreement without full knowledge/history of the events that transpired?
Maybe a lifetime in court make you hard. Or maybe it is you all along. But you know what, we can see through you. Yeah right you guys did not want to hurt Karant but save her. Boohoo we are no kindergarteners, Ana. And what about the title of this post of yours........."Rudolfo is not good enough for Karant". Ana , stop bs ing and drop that fake concern, You are team Alexia and we know it, mean girl.
I hope never to see you after this season . You seem so miserable maybe that is why you take joy in picking on Karent. Boring, Boring bully! You bring nothing to the show but bitterness and your wierd relationship with your family. Boy what a joy you must have been to be married to.
Ayy Anita, just go home.
You stick out like a sore thumb. No one believes you care about Adriana, Marysol , Karent, Joanna... You're just trying to find a hook and cooking isn't it! Maternal isn't either. Or divorcee. You'd have to introduce something new, strong, positive. All things you aren't or can't. Work on it, off camera, in the privacy of your home and family.
Even before Adriana but after Alexia, you are a pet peeve of mine for still being on this show. Even Adriana brings humor and glitz. They'd might as well put me on the show as keep you! You are a drag and a drain. You are a mess. Get a life, get off the stage. Take your kitchen utensils and apron, and grab Alexia's hand while you're at it!
Ana, I don't know where you came from but your a negative for this network. Your the most negative person i have ever watched. I don't watch the show that much because your all so boring. I know Miami and Ana,your a joke as a lawyer and your a bust in this reality show. Get out while you can. Your ruining the show. Your alliance with Maryisol is a joke. She is a joke. I wouldn't hire her to promote or provide a service for me ever. She is losing credibility each and every day that she is in this show. The funny part is you are her worst enemy, you want to see her go down. Ana,you say you bring the heat.......DUH! where? Your life is in a shambles, you have no career and you and Maryisol are so eaten up with jealously of Lea Black that now I am ready to make the statement that you should leave the show. You don't attend events, you have no social graces and your a pig!
You have always used air quotes when talking about Karent's relationship, so don't pretend that you actually care about her. To me, when you used air quotes it just made you seem bitter, competitive, and insecure. I do believe that you were happy to hear that Rodolfo was cheating. You embraced Alexia's gossip because you wanted it to validate your speculation that Karent's relationship was troubled and "fake". I would like you but you spend too much time trying to invalidate someone else's relationship, not caring if it hurts that person. I don't have any respect for that type of insensitivity and arrogance.
I cannot begin to wrap my brain around those that are saying they should NOT have told her. As someone who was the last to know in a very small town, I still feel the sting of humiliation just going to the grocery store. They could have handled this better but for them to know and not fill her in would be even more cruel. I lost 6 years of my life because no one told me - she will get past how she found out when she meets a real man that will love and respect her.
In Bimini it appears that the ladies two houses were divided by good vs. evil.
You definitely were in the good house. LOL.
I love the group of ladies you were with.
Listen Ana, you have shown and stated that you don't care for Karent. So, why do you think you get an opinion of whether or not she and Rodolfo are good together? Stay out of things that have nothing to do with you. I am in total agreement with SarahTee!
I thought, (key word there--thought) you were a semi decent person. You have proven you are just another 'mean girl' and a follower of the ever somean and rude Alexia and Adrianna. You, who showed (or pretended to show us) you had real emotions about your ex and that failed relationship, then to become a part of this mean girl stunt?? Which is the real you?
I can not understand how any woman can enjoy inflicting this type of pain on another woman. Whether Karent believed the relationship was real or not, that was her business not any of the other ladies. If she lived in her fairy tale, then let her live it, and let her find out the truth from someone who has her geniune interest at heart, not fromt hree mean spirited, bitter women.
You stood up for being treated unkindly and rudely by Thomas, yet you just did something as mean and cruel as he did to another female. You have completely lost any and all respecet I had for you. You need to choose your friends better , and also learn to stand up for what YOU believe in, not what your friends tell you to believe in. You are weak in my mind!
Ana why on earth did you deliberately ignore Thomas at dinner when he asked you to stop gossiping at the dinner party he hosted at his house? I thought you were petty and rude. I thought Thomas was trying to host a nice dinner and of course you "ladies" just wanted to do nothing but gossip when you're in the same room with each other. When I watch this show I get a headache there is so much mindless chatter. Take a moment and as Thomas said " enjoy and shut-up."
I don't think that you took pleasure in telling or seeing Karent hear the news about Rodolfo. It seemed to me that you were just happy that you were vindicated. Your friends, however, especially Alexia and Adriana are just cruel. That's just so low. I don't care how much you dislike someone (which, Karent, although annoying, hasn't done anything personal to EITHER of these women), you don't relish in someone else's pain. Awful, just awful human behavior. Find some new friends, please.
Your sincerity remains to be seen. Obviously, Alexia should have kept the information she had regarding Rodolpho to herself; except to share with Karendt. Her feined concern was overrided by the factthatshetold EVERYONE else first.
I never understood how someone who has suffered the tragedy Alexia has with her son would want anyone to suffer anything. Common sense tell us those are the angelson earth, those that suffer and help others. But it's simply not true . Alexia didn't seek you out because you wouldn't have gone along. I know you weren't seeking vindication, in fact, if you hadn't mentioned it, I forgot Rodolfo accused you of texting him blah blah blah...but that was Great vindication for you! Thanks for the recipe, REALLY!!!
Ana, unlike a lot of these comments I really like you. I think you did get off to a rocky start because your affiliations with Angriana and the ultimate mean girl Alexia. But I can see that you are just guilty by association and not at all as toxic as the other two. I do believe that you felt bad for Karent and if it was your decision probably would have been done in private, unlike the other ladies especially Alexia who is not woman enough to admit that she did it out of spite and not because she was "concerned" for Karent. I guess Alexia knows what would happen if she blogged this week so like the coward she is has not blogged yet. She can dish it out but not take the backlash. Oh, btw I love the recipes you include in your blogs every week, keep them coming...
Alexia needs to get off RHOM news flash you were FIRED bc your not interesting enough. You are a miserable person who is obviously very jealous of Karent bc Karent is beautiful,smart, and actually has a career and family who loves her. Sadly we can't say the same about you hints the reason YOUR HUSBAND DIROVED your big bird looking self! Get a life and leave Karent alone.
-Very sad with Bravo that they would spend money flying an ex-cast member on the trip with the girls... get her off the show shes gross N rude!!!
keep up the good apperience Ana, and don't listen to the haters...Karent needed to be told the truth. No one ruined her relationshop accept Rodofl. Or whatever his name is.
If I had been accused by a pig like him, I'd want the truth to be known as well. He accused you of being the Ana who sent him loving flirty text messages. That is horrible. You have every right to bring about the truth on national TV. And if it hurt Karent's feeling, then that is something the both of them have to workout together.
So happy you are smart.
I for the most part like you but I can't see why you went along with Alexis' scheme to humiliate Karent. I don't see you have anything but disdain for Karent but now in your blog you indicate Rodolfo isn't good enough for her. In the past few episodes you have denounced her so don't pretend that you care about her. You were like a sheep following Alexia everywhere. I doubt she will blog this week.
I think you did the right thing not get in the middle of the situation, but of course Karent's fans will condemn you either way this was a difficult situation and there is never a right way to do something like this. Quite frankly I think she needed the public humiliation to leave that guy for good otherwise she would have probably believed anything that pig said as an excuse.
How abusive you, Adriana and Alexia behaved toward Karent....you identify with the mean girl group...I wonder what your faith is, because I am pretty sure the good Lord-whatever faith you are would not approve of your Karent bashing behavior....WWJD? The three of you lack refinement...Looks like the only ladies who can be described as behaving somewhat "fina's" on the show are Marysol, Karent and Lisa. Happy Holidays!
Good job! Ana is a wreck. A mess. She and Alexia need to go for sure! Next on the list is Marysol and if Adriana doesn't cough up something more interesting, she's there too. The younguns, Lea and Karent remain. Throw in some new movers and shakers and the show could rival NYC's and BH's. (Tho, I do like ATL).
I'm embarassed for Lea. So old and so foolish.
@IknowMiamiThat was soooo subtle Lea! lolololol
I agree! Spending so much time trying to invalidate someone else's relationship from someone who can't let go of her ex-husband. She still keeps him tied to her by doing his laundry and cooking for him?
This is hardly a small town first off. Second, it's not about whether to tell but how it was done. Ticky tacky the bottom feeders, Alex, Ana and MS. Normally I'd throw in Adriana but she was bothered by them too.
Well, the fault line was definitely between the relevant and irrelevant. One is exhibitionist and desperate, and the other cool and beautiful (with one turbaned exception). There's a little give and take but not as far as Ana the hausfrau is concerned.
@SunshinekissesI had to log on and reply to this. You have to be in the minority of the minority. Thomas Kramer is a monster who treats women like chattle and Ana was the only one who stood up for herself. When someone invites you into their home it doesnt give them the right to mistreat you. He offended all the women at that table including an elderly one. Ana was the only one dignified enough to leave. You must be a friend of "BELOWTHE BELTWAY". lol
@KathyW I like Adrianna on the show...But, maybe because her and I share the same first name I find this play on words 'Angriana" clever!
I guess you have amnesia as well, because when asked by Adrianna if Ana was texting him and Karent answered "there was a text" she never said Ana is texting her boyfriend straight out. If you are trying to defend Ana and insult viewers make sure you have you facts straight. Regardless if Karent uses botox or not at least she looks good and not overdone, which is something Ana can benefit from because her skin looks terrible and she looks older than she should. She did not have Karents best interest at heart so her blog is BS. That girl has done nothing to Ana except be prettier and more successful.
@HennyPenny @bravoluvva oh yeah you're right it's not a small town - just NATIONAL TELEVISION. I already said I didn't agree with how it was done but if she had brought a child into the situation and no one had told her, that would have been far worse than her little hurt feelings over other women being mean girls. Big picture - think about it.
@HennyPenny @bombshell8124 In this life people are going to see the same situation from many different angles. It happens all the time. Get used to it. Also, while i feel many of the women were happy to be proven right about Rodolfo, I dont believe all of them were as vindictive as you think. Why dont you calm down a little. There is no need to tell people they are way off base in the role of God. This is a Real Housewives Blog. Sheesh.
Ana was caught with her mouth open! She needs to open an etiquette book. Maligning the host is grounds to be asked to leave. She was thrown out.
gpermesa - i agree. He knows the women are on this show and that there is a certain type of drama or conversation connected to it. Not to say they can disrespect his house, but to single Ana out like that when multiple women were discussing the subject was rude. He was rude to women in general
Not at all is that a minority view! Ana was rude. That does not mean Kramer was or is beyond reproach. But Ana was exceedingly ill behaved for a grown woman. Don't use Kramer's behavior to excuse hers. She has a mouth and she is obnoxious!
@gpermesa I don't even know what a friend of ""BELOWTHE BELTWAY" means. Sounds interesting. I do not know Thomas personally, and I doubt you do so I'm not familiar with how he treats women. I just watched this segment of the RH and thought the way Ana acted was rude and immature. All I know is that when someone invites you to their house for dinner it is really impolite to use that as an opportunity to gossip at the dinner table. Ana ignored the host when he asks her to stop, and then she got all upset when asked to stop gossiping so she walks out in a big dramatic huffy way like a self absorbed adolescent?! Silly. I will say the way Thomas raised his voice and spoke to Elsa was totally uncalled for and offensive. I think he was so fed-up with all of them and all their mindless chatter. No matter how fed-up he was ...that is not an excuse for the way he spoke to Elsa.
Sweeteena1018 - nothing sweet about you! your really rude- Ana looks lovely and natural for her age. Karent did insinuate if not full out say that Ana was texting her man and it wouldnt hurt her to apologize!
@Sweeteena1018 And who are you to say that someone looks older than they should? Everyone ages differently. Personally, I would rather embrace aging than going under the knife to fight it for the rest of my life.
@Sweeteena1018 Ana is beautiful. I hope I look like her when I'm her age! Please, this is why women in this country DO end up looking like plastic disgusting mannequins, because of comments like these.
Got to say bravoluv, you're the one havin problems wrappin your litl' head around why what was done was wrong. You're making up hypotheticals-- what child? What town? A litl' personal experience may be informin you, but in this particular case, the way it was handled was callous, cruel, insensitive. Now, you go have a fink, awright?

"I liked these even better when I opened the delivery box. Fun, retro, modern, and the top notch quality added sophistication to the mix. Very pleased with this purchase!"
"This is a great pattern for helping to teach young girls the value of a thank you note. It's just one page and between the header and personalization, young writers can develop good etiquette. My niece loved these! I purchased them for use at her First Communion."
"I just thought this the most adorable card! Loved the picture, the colors, perfect for a Thank You at the top and the formal name at the bottom, then in the space I wrote personal thank you's for birthday gifts. We got the matching return address labels and these are going out in the mail today. The only problem I had was I had two pens die while writing my first card, but I think it was the pens, not the paper."
"Love this design! Colors are fantastic, suggested fonts are perfect! Excellent heavy-weight card stock. Purchased for my daughter, and everyone loves them!"
"Love this stationary! I wanted some new cards to keep in my desk after getting married late last year. I love these! Perfect weight, colors and style. The only draw back is the paper is textured and made writing a little tough, but that is more a personal preference than anything else. Overall, this card is excellent!"

Cushman Lake offers a year-round open season. This North Fork Skokomish River impoundment is a natural lake enlarged by a dam. Caution has to be taken in some areas due to stumps and other sunken debris. No rainbow trout are stocked into this lake. It does offer kokanee fishing in the summer and good late-season cutthroat fishing.
Cushman is closed to the taking of Dolly Varden/bull trout and Chinook salmon. Landlocked salmon rules are not in effect on lake Cushman.

26 minutes/HDCAM
We pair two short documentaries inviting us into two very odd, very different personal domains. Zoe McIntosh introduces us to Peter One, King of Caravans, and his realm, the Bignell Street Motel Caravan Park in Whanganui. Bignell Street has a reputation for being a place of last resort for the down and out, where people with nowhere else to go can always find a caravan roof for their heads. A social butterfly and a self-admitted garage sale addict, motel manager Peter says he acts as a de facto social worker to the weird and wonderful itinerant inhabitants of his trailer park, although some claim he's just as strange and desperate as they are.
One morning in 2003 Spanish filmmaker Sergio Oksman found the remnants of another eccentric enclave: hundreds of photographs, documents and videotapes dumped on a Madrid sidewalk. Combing through the materials, Oksman pieces together A Story for the Modlins, a family of American expats who had lived a strange and isolated existence shut up inside a dark Madrid apartment for 30 years. — Michael McDonnell

One sentence determined his theology: "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting" (Acts 9:5b). Jesus was mysteriously identified with people—the loving group of people Saul had been running down like criminals. Jesus, he saw, was the mysterious fulfillment of all he had been blindly pursuing.
From then on, his only work was to "present everyone perfect in Christ. For this I labor and struggle, in accord with the exercise of his power working within me" (Colossians 1:28b-29). "For our gospel did not come to you in word alone, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and [with] much conviction" (1 Thessalonians 1:5a).
Paul's life became a tireless proclaiming and living out of the message of the cross: Christians die baptismally to sin and are buried with Christ; they are dead to all that is sinful and unredeemed in the world. They are made into a new creation, already sharing Christ's victory and someday to rise from the dead like him. Through this risen Christ the Father pours out the Spirit on them, making them completely new.
So Paul's great message to the world was: You are saved entirely by God, not by anything you can do. Saving faith is the gift of total, free, personal and loving commitment to Christ, a commitment that then bears fruit in more "works" than the Law could ever contemplate.

Burley Parish Council grant gets walking campaign off to good start
7:00am Monday 16th December 2013 in Local news By Amanda Greaves, Reporter
A group of keen walkers in Burley-in-Wharfedale has taken the first step towards gaining the village nationally-recognised status as a great place to walk.
The recently-formed Walkers are Welcome in Burley group is celebrating receiving a £150 grant from Burley Parish Council – and hope this will get its bid for Walkers are Welcome village on the road.
The national accreditation scheme encourages communities to develop more opportunities for walking locally.
Walkers are Welcome status helps strengthens a town's reputation as a place for people to visit, and enjoy the outdoors – and can benefit the local economy.
Neighbouring Ilkley is among the communities which already have Walkers are Welcome status.
David Asher, of the Burley group, said: "We are grateful for the superb support from village businesses and organisations during August and September. They collected nearly 500 signatures from local people on our behalf in support of the application, which was about double what we needed."
"We now have approval to proceed from the parish council which is great, and their generous grant means we can now submit our application. With the parish council funding, we can now begin to look at producing a first booklet to promote local walks in and around the village."
Communities which seek Walkers are Welcome status must ensure footpaths and facilities for walkers are well-maintained, encourage walking via public transport, demonstrate local support, and market the accreditation scheme.
Burley Parish Council is also confident in the group.
Parish council chairman, Councillor John Grimshaw, said: "The parish council is very pleased to help establish Walkers are Welcome in Burley through the awarding of a grant to help promote the group within Wharfedale.
"The first booklet of local walks will be available soon and the parish council expect Walkers are Welcome in Burley to go from strength to strength."
Mr Asher said the group would like to hear any suggestions of walks to include in the booklet – and is keen to hear from anyone who would like to get involved.
Contact him by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com for more details.

Holder says other factors include whether there are things he still wants to accomplish and in his words, "Do I have some gas left in the tank?"
Holder has been criticized by Republicans during their long congressional investigation into a botched gun-smuggling investigation in Arizona. The Justice Department inspector general cleared Holder of any wrongdoing. If the attorney general does leave, he may make his exit a slow one to demonstrate he's not caving in to critics who have long called on him to resign.
He discussed his future while speaking with University of Baltimore students Thursday.

Snipe Hunt
The "snipe hunt" has been a traditional practical joke on inexperienced campers and consequently has led to many thinking that a snipe is a fictional animal. It is very real but heard more often than seen so this snipe out in broad daylight was exciting to observe on today's safari.
April is a wonderful month for wildlife watching as the national parks are quiet, animals are in motion and each day seems to bring a new species out of hibernation or returning from warmer climates.

Photographs of Birds Caught in Mist Nets
John James Audubon, a French-American ornithologist (a person who studies birds), became internationally known in the 1800s for his ambitious goal of painting and documenting all the different bird species found in the United States. His methods, however, weren't exactly bird friendly. To prepare his subjects, Audubon would first kill them using fine shot and then fix them into striking poses using wire.
Ornithologists these days have a much better way of capturing birds for science: mist nets. The nylon mesh nets virtually invisible to birds when suspended between two poles, and allow scientists to capture, study, and release the birds unharmed. Photographer Todd R. Forsgren wants to be the modern day equivalent of Audubon. His project titled Ornithological Photographs consists entirely of photos showing different birds caught in mist nets.

2007 Football Forecast
Another season of NFL action is here and Cigar Aficionado's gridiron guru gets down and dirty to make his predictions
Danny Sheridan
From the Print Edition:
Richard Branson, Sept/Oct 2007
With the National Football League turning into the National Felony League, commissioner Roger Goodell has been forced to become a modern-day Wyatt Earp. In the last year, there have been more than 50 player arrests in a disturbing crime wave that has given the league a black eye.
Fortunately, the new sheriff in town means business. He has a new personal conduct policy in place and to make his point loud and clear, Goodell dealt a regular-season suspension to Tennessee's troubled Adam "Pacman" Jones and eight games each to Cincinnati's Chris Henry and former Chicago Bears lineman Tank Johnson."It's a privilege to represent the league, not a right," proclaimed Goodell, and his firm hand was applauded by the owners.
"I hope this sends a message to people in our league for how to conduct themselves," said esteemed New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft. Goodell's code of conduct also extends to the playing field. Spiking a ball after a touchdown will incur a five-yard penalty. Despite all the negative press generated by player indiscretions, the NFL still managed to set an attendance record last year (22,199,712), which was 400,000 more than the 2005 mark. This prompted the league's power brokers to look to Europe for additional fandom. For the first time ever, a regular-season game will be played overseas. The October 28 matchup between the Giants and the Dolphins at London's Wembley Stadium was well received by Britons, who snatched up 40,000 tickets at the 90,000-seat stadium in an hour and a half.
Such enthusiasm could portend one overseas game per team as part of a 17-game regular season being studied by the NFL, perhaps as early as 2009. Looking ahead to 2011, the owners awarded the Super Bowl to the Cowboys' newly constructed 100,000-seat-capacity stadium, where the price of a ticket is projected to be at least $900. Big D means Big Dollars. In these pages last September I picked the Colts to win the Super Bowl. This season I like the Patriots to capture their fourth championship in seven years (over the Panthers). I know this much: I'm making this year's AFC representative a seven-point favorite, no matter who shows up from the NFC.
1 New England Patriots
The Patriots are primed for another Lombardi Trophy after a dynamic off-season shopping spree netted several lethal receivers for QB Tom Brady. Wide receiver Randy Moss, acquired from the Raiders for a fourth-round draft pick, is looking to recapture the success he had with the Vikings and should send shivers down opponents' spines. Other additions to the receiving corps are Danté Stallworth, who averaged 19 yards per catch last season with the Eagles, Wes Welker and Kelley Washington. New England also bolstered a defense that yielded the second fewest points, signing free-agent OLB Adalius Thomas. The Patriots' muskets are loaded and you'll see Brady and his girlfriend, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, in Arizona on February 3.
2 New York Jets
Long-suffering Jets fans haven't seen a championship since Super Bowl III (and like to think Joe Namath sold his soul to the devil for that one), but under Eric Mangini there is hope. In his first season, Mangini inherited a 4-12 team and confounded the experts with a 10-6 finish. One of the reasons was QB Chad Pennington, who completed a season without injury for the first time, throwing for a career-best 3,352 yards and completing 64.5 percent of his passes. A brilliant trade for RB Thomas Jones, who led the Bears with 1,210 rushing yards, gives the Jets a legitimate replacement for RB Curtis Martin and will make life easier for receivers Laveranues Coles and Jerricho Cotchery. Look for rookie CB Darrelle Revis to help the secondary match up with the Patriots.
3 Miami Dolphins
Miami fans are upset that management passed on Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn, the big fish that could have solved the Dolphins' post—Dan Marino quarterback problem. Instead, they drafted lightning-fast receiver and return specialist Ted Ginn Jr. from Ohio State and acquired veteran QB Trent Green from the Chiefs for a fifth-round pick in the 2008 draft. To mollify fans, coach Cam Cameron, Nick Saban's replacement, announced that the Dolphins are "drafting the whole Ginn family." Huh? In the free-agent waters, the biggest splash the Dolphins made was signing Steelers OLB Joey Porter, who immediately made his own splash with an altercation in Las Vegas. Defensive Player of the Year Jason Taylor (13.5 sacks) leads a strong defense, but don't look for a championship celebration at Shula's Steak House anytime soon.
4 Buffalo Bills
The Bills were $30 million under the salary cap, but spent little in the free-agent market to improve on a 7-9 record. What's more, coach Dick Jauron took a big hit on defense with the departures of LB London Fletcher-Baker, LB Takeo Spikes and CB Nate Clements. J. P. Losman has finally settled in as the starting quarterback and is teamed with deep threat WR Lee Evans, who caught a career-high 82 passes for 1,292 yards. The Bills had a quality draft, landing LB Paul Posluszny from Penn State and RB Marshawn Lynch from the University of California to replace Willis McGahee. There's no way the Bill's will get a chance to lose a fifth straight Super Bowl.

Evansville is moving to an automated trash and recycling system. This system, the city says, will be safer and easier for everyone.
Instead of 18 gallon bins, residents will now have two 96 gallon carts.
If you haven't already, you will soon be getting two new giant containers delivered to your address. One for trash and one for recycling.
"This will be a containerized cart system. Everything goes into the carts. The lids are attached so there will be no more blowing of lids and tipping over of trash cans will be reduced and it will reduce odors," said Todd Chamberlain, Allied Waste.
"It's nice they have recycle bins because I've been wanting one since I moved in here," said Juliana Cheatem, Evansville Resident.
Cheatem got her new carts Monday. She says the cart system will make it easier to recycle and she hopes that encourages more people to join in.
"When people see these recycle bins, I hope people will throw something in there instead of just walking past it," said Cheatem.
This means no more curb side sorting.
"Just put all your aluminum cans, paper, plastic, cardboard inside the same cart," said Chamberlain.
Chamberlain says there are a few new guidelines that come along with this system and he expects residents to have questions. That's why information will be delivered to you along with your carts.
"There's actually information on top of the carts that will tell you what needs to be recycled or what can be recycled in the new program," said Chamberlain.
That information is attached to the carts.
The city says they expect to have all 84,000 delivered by March 31.
One frequently asked question is: What if my family can't fit all our trash in that one cart?
Allied Waste says for now, set the additional trash next to the cart and it will be picked up.
Come 2014, if you think your household needs another cart, you can buy one.
