Sean O'Mahony, 30th May 2014What a lovely pub with great food and service.
Thank you for making our Jack Russell dog Heidi so welcome.
We took very find memories back to Ireland.
Looking foward to our return in September.
Mike Dargan, 21st May 2014A fantastic and comprehensive menu, beautifully created and delivered. Thanks Pip,our guests were delighted.
Kindest regards,
Mike ,Suzy. Colin & Barbara
Carl Murray, 13th May 2014After a lovely ride from Carenza stables in Stanton, Pip hosted our Sunday lunch in the Mount so well, we were still there at 3pm! The Mount has everything going for it - stunning location but above all a thoroughly professional and engaging team even when faced with a very busy pub and dogs.
It was a real treat to come back to the mount after several years and I shall recommend this super place when ever I can. CM
Jane & Adam Stevens, 29th April 2014We spent a week renting a cottage in Stanton over Easter and went to the Mount Inn several times. We've been coming to the Cotswolds for many years and know the Mount well, but just wanted to say how sepcial it made our week. The food and service were both absolutely fantastic and Pip made us feel like one of the regulars. Prices are extremely reasonable and the setting is idyllic. It was just as nice sat outside admiring the amazing views as inside by the cosy fire. We can't wait to return.
Nick & Diane, 22nd January 2014Best Fillet Steak and Apple crumble for miles. And the staff - outstanding, noteworthy and superb. Always a good idea to book as they can get very busy at weekends
Simon Bicknell, 14th October 2013A Big thankyou to all concerned.
A birthday treat with my Wife,Daughter & Grand Daughters for Sunday Lunch. (13/10/2013)
ALL of us had magnificent food.Excellent,friendly service.
Lesley & Brian Winograd, 14th September 2013We live in London, but we bought a house in Stanton almost two years ago (lucky us) and the first thing we want to do when we arrive is to puff up the hill to the Mount for a warm welcome, a cool drink and some fabulous food. Everyone we have taken there has loved the ambiance, the setting and of course the cuisine. Lunch or dinner, it's always a highlight of our life in Stanton. Pip has been a great, helpful friend to us, too. Thank you!
Ruth from Sydney, 6th September 2013A welcome pitstop on my walk through the village, a pint of lemon, lime and bitters and a packet of crisps set me on my way to Broadway!
I highly recommend this gem!
J Fryer, 19th August 2013Really enjoyed the delicious lunch today, especially the excellent chips, full of flavour,
golden, cooked to perfection. Keep on cooking!
Claire, 30th July 2013It has been a year today since my husband and I got away for a wonderful month of traveling England, France, Italy and Switzerland, this had been our first trip of this sort in our 23 years of marriage. Much planning went into it, including being lucky enough to find this wonderful gem of a place tucked into the hills. After a walk along the Cotswold Way, my sister, uncle, husband and myself tucked in for a charming, comfortable, delicious and oh so memorable evening of fine food and surroundings. Now I sit at my kitchen table in California dreaming of a return. Lovely place, food and kitty! Thanks for providing such a good memory.
Bob & Shan South, 12th July 2013Hi Pip & Karl,
Just had to say thank you for making last evening so special. As well as the lovely things that we have come to expect of The Mount such as amazing food and fantastic service in the best ever location in The Cotswolds, the summer extras were really appreciated. Some of the group just couldnt believe the fact that the jugs of iced water were there on the tables waiting for us with a glass poured for everyone! These things simply dont happen!
As usual, Pip and the team made us feel so welcome from the start and Karl coming out of his kitchen at the end of a busy evening to say hello was the icing on the cake for everyone. I know that he is reluctant to have his photo taken so it was nice that he agreed. Ill email some pictures when I sort them out. One of the group commented that the whole experience was like a fairy tale (Ive heard this said before).
Thank you again, Kingsway will certainly be back and Shan and I will pop over with our own house guests in a week or so.
Best wishes, Bob
Mike and Suzy D, 3rd May 2013Thanks to all at the Mount
Fantastic menu,service and welcome, as always. Thanks for a lovely late spring evening.
Mike and Suzy
Mike and Suzy Dargan, 15th February 2013February 14th 2013
Once again a complete success,in atmosphere, menu,service and welcome. Thanks Pip a lovely way for us to enjoy Valentines Day.
Mike and Suzy
Nigel, Angela, Kristian & William Adamson, 1st October 2012Fabulous food, friendly service. Best ever suet pud & lamb shank. Molly (our cockapoo) made to feel welcome as well! Thanks.
Sarah Arrowsmith, 18th September 2012We visited The Mount Inn yesterday and found the bar staff very friendly, the views glorious and the food delicious. We will definitely be visiting again soon! Would fully recommend this pub.
Chris & Kay O'Sullivan, 16th July 2012We moved to Broadway about a year ago and nobody told us about The Mount Inn at Stanton - they told us lots of other places but I think they wanted to keep this to themselves. We ate there on 15th July and immediately booked a table for 6 for the following weekend.
Great location, great pub, great food and most important of all, great people !
And now we're not going to tell anyone else either !
Kevin & Laura, 22nd June 2012We arrived in Stanton on Monday 18th June whilst walking the Cotswold way. We had been booked in at The Mount for our evening meal and what a fantastic experience it was. The Landlady was lovely and the staff were really welcoming. The Local ale was the best we have had anywhere and the food could not be beaten, it was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much for a lovely evening.
Grace Gregory, 4th June 2012very good, very good!great pub!
keith & sue chamberlain, 24th May 2012My wife and I live in nearby Broadway and are regular customers of the Mount Inn.The food, staff and location are absolutely fabulous and Pipa always makes you feel like one of the family.
Working in the local Tourist Office I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Mount Inn
roger & pat Smith, 23rd May 2012On a day trip to the Cotswolds, primarily Broadway we called in at 'The Mount' for lunch. I last stopped off there 24 years ago whilst walking the Cotswold Way and remembered when food was ready it was broadcast over a Tanoy system, thankfuly that no longer happens.The staff whilst young were exceptional, nothing was too much trouble and they knew the job. We sat outside with a bottle of wine and views to die for, my fish and chips were excelent but far too much, my wife had the steak with Parie topping (a blend of numerous hearbs and garlic) the steak was top quality and the topping added to the meal.The chef later asked if we liked the topping and when my wife said how much offered to forward the recipe. This venue would be lovely on a winters evening and to view a sunset on any clear evening. We shall visit again with friends.
Sheila Mitchell, 23rd May 2012Found the pub by accident but were delighted with the ambience, service, food and location. Friendly and efficient staff served an excellent meal (fish cakes, scallops, berry cream brulee)remarkably quickly - we had an appointment in the area and didn't have much time. Will definitely return to sample the rest of the menu.
Keith and Sue Ward, 12th May 2012Sue and I followed Pip and Karl from the Plough at Cold Aston when they moved to the Mount at Stanton a few years ago. Pip bubles and Karl rocks ! We are regulars and always recommend the Mount to those visiting the Cotswolds. Personally, I have been going to the Mount since 1985 but Pip and Karl have made it what it is today -- an amazing pub, brilliant food (cheers Karl) and an ambience beyond compare.
Michelle Dakin, 7th April 2012Amazing place, I arrived from East London to visit a friend and was treated like a queen to your wonderful Inn. The views were breathtaking, your hosting was delightful and if I had met the chef I would have pinned him/her to the floor kissed them then proposed.....I had the chicken breast with leek and bacon in a cream sauce and then to top my experience I had your ice-cream.
Well done to all your staff who work hard together in order to make The Mount Inn a place to remember (and want to come back to).
Thank you kindly.
PHILIP & MAUREEN HEAD, 13th March 2012We have after 12 months now settled into our new home in Badsey just a short distance from Pip & Karl. I was amused at a recent review, saying that the new owners had taken over this fantastic Pub, this is not so, Pip & Karl have themselves made it into a fantastic pub. We have been so many times and have never been disappointed with the food or the welcome. An establishment is always judged on it's most recent meal. We have no reason to stay away, good luck for 2012
Heike and Trevor Collingwood, 11th February 2012We stayed 3 days in the cotswolds, but came twice to your lovely,cosy pub with open fire.
The staff was so friendly and helpful .
Our dog, a black Labrador, was made very welcome.
Thank you !
Val and Kevin, 15th January 2012Thank you for a lovely Sunday Lunch. Very generous portion of Chicken Liver Pate, a beautifully executed rare sirloin steak; Crab Cakes were great (didn't think the tomato sauce went with them very well) but that was my preference and not a criticism of the dish, Rabbit on a celeriac puree and lovely fresh vegetables; potatoe dauphinoise and hand crafted chips made a supper meal; sorry no room to try the desserts. Would definately recomend it to friends and will certainly go again.
Chris and Ruth Winters, 1st January 2012, 1st January 2012What a lovely way to kick start the New Year with our visit to The Mount for Sunday lunch. Food and service gave excellent value as always and thanks to our waitress for the 'Hops in a Box' tip that will enhance our Christmas decorations next year - The Mount's display is magnificent!
Gail and Owen Walsh, 27th November 2011We selected this pub from The Good Pub Guide whilst staying at nearby Broadway. We have not been so impressed by a pub for a long time. Friendly and helpful welcome; service that was efficient, friendly and faultless; delicious, tasty fish & chips which we all 3 of us enjoyed; a real buzz on a Saturday lunchtime; excellent views. Admittedly the prices are not cheap but then you do get quality in everything. Despite living a 45 mintue drive away we can't wait to return particularly on a sunny day to take advantage of the attractive terrace.
Peter Sumner & William, 27th November 2011I left the UK last year for the Channel Islands and, apart from one little detail, I am as happy as a chicken's liver before it was made into a pâté. Yep, you guessed it. I'm missing the bar at the Mount and my chocolate labrador, William, is missing Pip's bonios and the huge log fire. Maybe I should just go home?
Alison & Hilary, 24th November 2011We are regular visitors to the Mount Inn at Stanton. Pip is always so warm and welcoming which creates a wonderful atmosphere in which to relax and enjoy excellent food combined with consistent and professional service. The food is exceptional with a wide range of specials all of which are excellent value for money.
Philip & Maureen Head, 9th September 2011We moved to Badsey in March 2011 and was recommended to visit the Mount. This had to be the best advice ever, as we have taken so many of our friends during this time. The service is always friendly and efficient, Pip (Mine Host)is delightful & attentive , and we have never had any cause to complain as the food is excellent at all times. A gem in these recessionary times.
Jane Galer, 8th September 2011One of the very best places to eat in the cotswolds. Had several fantasic meals. And one of the best views ever. And only a 5 min drive from where we live. Jane Pete Jack & Grace
Bob and Coral, 25th July 2011We visited the Mount Inn one lunchtime this July while walking with friends. We were so impressed with the service that we decided to reserve a table for the following evening. This proved to be a great success. The pub was buzzing with customers, so we expected a wait for our orders to be taken and the food to arrive. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the efficient way we were treated by the staff who, although very busy, were attentive and friendly. Our starters and main courses arrived promptly and were delicious and the manageress even remembered from our first visit that we wanted sticky toffee puddings which she had ensured were available that evening. Altogether an exceptional experience which we hope to repeat if we are ever in that area again.
Simon & Angela Fewins, 22nd June 2011Recently we rented a hoiday cottage in the beautiful village of Stanton.What an absolute gem of a country pub, great for just a drink, wonderful for food also.The staff were attentive to your requirments and requests, nothing was to difficult.The food was beautiful presented on every occasion.I have no problem what so ever recommending this establishment to any visitor.Good luck to all the staff in there future career choices, albeit in the food industry or not, you all deserve it.
Angela & Ian, 16th May 2011What a fabulous place this is to enjoy a drink and a meal. Set in a fantastic location, serving delicious food with friendly and helpful staff and a lovely landlady to greet you. What more could you ask for?
Jim Barry, 16th May 2011We have just returned from a short break in Buckland and on the recommendation of the owners of the B&B where we stayed, they suggested visiting the Mount Inn for our evening meals. I am so pleased that they did, because we were very impressed with the varied menu that was available and the ecellent standard of meals provided. In addition, the attention of service given by the staff was second to none and I was only too pleased to recognise this with a gratuity they rightly deserved. We returned three times during our break and each time the place was full, so I was pleased that we reserved our table each time. I wish that we had a similar establishment in Hampshire, I know that we would return time after time. I can highly recommend the Mount Inn and wish all the staff there a very successful future. Based on our experience I am sure that they will achieve this.
Jan and John Poultney Wombourne Staffordshire, 16th May 2011What a find!!! Cannot say enough about this gem of a pub plus the staff. Excellent food and such a warm welcome. Not to be missed.
david and julia williams, 10th November 2010we have just spent 3 glorious days in stanton-and ate every night at the mount inn.what a lovely warm welcome we had each night-cosy log fire burning merrily and the food was out of this world - delicious..simply superb-thoroughly recommended..thank you
Helen and Iain Cruickshank (and Bertie the whippet!), 2nd October 2010We stayed in Stanton for five nights and ate at The Mount every night. Not only was the food and service great, but it is a very dog friendly pub and our dog was looked after as well as we were! This pub has all the atmosphere and friendliness of a village pub, with the food and service of a great resaurant. We cannot praise it enough and fully intend to visit again soon.
Jill and Lin Bell, 19th July 2010Upon visiting the Mount Inn a few weeks ago, we found Karl and Pip Baston offer the most elegant and tasty fare of all the pubs encountered in our nine years of walking the paths throughout England. My husband absolutely loved his chicken dish served with a delicious and original leek sauce and did not want to move on to our next stop the following day (nor did the rest of our group). What a wonderful setting to enjoy delicious food and what friendly and kind owners. If you are anywhere near the Mount Inn, you will not be disappointed no matter what you order!
Felicity Silman, 10th July 2010Just had to say this place is the best!! Food.. tasty,imaginative,locally produced and not excessively priced, not even my Lobster Pasta which was so delicious all my friends ate it!! Marvellous Wine and guest Ale too.
Staff.. Young, Polite and efficient.
View and Location.. Just stunning. We came last Monday and had expected it to be quiet as most are at the beginning of the week but not so, would suggest booking if you are actually arranging to visit and not merely stumbling across this Gem as we did!
My daughter fell in love with the young man behind the Bar so we'll definitely be returning very soon!!
This Pub feels "with it" without having lost its character as so many have these days. Thanks to all those who made our evening so thoroughly enjoyable. See you soon, Felicity. x
Karen Tyler, 13th June 2010My family and I have been to the Mount Inn many times over the past few years'. As the pub has changed hands several times the food too has often been pretty variable.Having now moved up to Inverness we were spending a nostalgic week in the Cotswolds.
We visited on 8th June 2010 and were delighted at what we found. New owners Pip and Karl Baston have done wonders. The menu is imaginative, well sourced and quite frankly delicious. We all had The Mountman's - the most exquisite ploughmans ever. My partner, who is Scottish had never tried a ploughmans before and he was really impressed !
A lovely place with a warm atmosphere and delicious, creative food. Highly recommended. Only wish we lived closer !
Many thanks for a lovely experience.
Mike & Christine O'Mahoney, 16th May 2010Today, Sunday May 16th, we have been treated to a great meal. This is not our first meat at the Mount, so we knew what to expect.
We were on table 203, the meal was fabulous, the staff were exceptional, for politeness and attentive.
The door to outside has been changed BUT still needs to be addressed as it still 'slams' shut disturbing the diners in this area.
Secondly although the meal was great, I have the lamb shoulder, it would/could benifit with some aditional potatoes, 1.5 potatoes is not really enough for this size of meal.
These are VERY, VERY small issues, please carry on with this/your greaat service, we will certainly be back.
Kind regards
Mike & Christine O'Mahoney
Dav Wasdell Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway, 9th February 2010On behalf of the signalmen's department I would like to pass on a big THANK YOU to Pip and her staff for a fantastic evening out last Saturday. The food was great and along with fantastic service, it made for a really enjoyable evening. All of my signalmen were extremely complimentary of the service received, so much so that I have been requested to book again for next year.
Dan Papworth, 30th December 2009We enjoyed the mount Inn immensely. The food was excellent: good-sized portions and well presented. The drinks: good quality real ale and a well-thought-out wine list. The atmosphere: a proper pub ambience with real fire and tasteful decor. This is what public houses should aspire to nationwide.
David & Peggy-Ann Horton, Australia, 6th December 2009It was a wet and windy night when we found the comfort of the Mount Inn on our trek down the Cotswold Way.
The food was a delightful surprise, a good few quality notches above that which we found in other country (and urban) pubs across England (the pie was a stunner). What made our night even more memorable was the enthusiastic passion of Karl and Pip; they obviously enjoyed delivering exemplary unstuffy service to whomever entered their cosy inn. It was also clear that they believed that the food we consume should be of wondrous quality . We left with smiles on our faces and heartily satisfied.
Go there and enjoy yourselves. You deserve the 'Mountain' experience and Karl and Pip deserve your support.
John Dyke, 11th October 2009Gloucestershire has many great pubs and scenic locations, so to stand out from the crowd in this county is really saying something , but that is exactly what the Mount manages to do and it does it so well.
I have always enjoyed visiting the Mount and can only congratulate the current owners on the way they have taken over this fantastic pub and sought to preserve it's essence and character, whilst carefuly and tastefuly updating it.
It's not always the case that a pub which serves such great food ( and it really is good! ) also shows the same amount of care with it's beer and to those of us that enjoy Donningtons, this means a lot. Something else that the Mount exudes is hospitality and a genuine warmth of welcome and I can certainly say that this has been appreciated on our recent visits, whether it's with family and friends for a meal or just popping in for that excellent beer.
We shall certainly be popping back to the Mount as often as we can and wish the current owners every success.
Andrew and Kate Chapple, 2nd October 2009We came across The Mount during a walk which originated from Broadway. It's great walking country round there and our OS map showed a Public House at our halfway point which is always useful, little did we know that it would be in such a beautiful setting.
We had a drink that time but impressed with what we saw, we came back on a mid-summer evening for am impressive meal (grilled fish)after a brisk uphill walk on the Cotswold Way towards Snowshill and then enjoyed the beautiful sunset from the west facing terrace. We hope to return and take advantage of the real fire in the Autumn/Winter.
Gabriel Savage, 25th August 2009Review originally published at http://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/content/view/10321/333/
The Cotswolds is a veritable honey pot of country pubs, all promising rural nirvana and gentrified versions of yokel gastronomy, but not necessarily delivering on either.
Since being taken over last year by Carl and Pip Baston, The Mount Inn at Stanton has become one of the leading contenders in this crowded field, without (yet) becoming swamped by the trendy Cotswold crowd.
As a member of the local Donnington Brewery pub collection, youll find BB and the slightly richer SBA as the draught ales here, accompanied by quality ciders, Stowford Press and Addlestones. The wine list is surprisingly strong for a pub, with the house wines and several others available by the glass from £2.10.
An Old World bias nevertheless leaves plenty of variety for all tastes, including a particularly refreshing Touraine Sauvignon Blanc (£15.50 a bottle), top quality Prosecco from Vincenzo Toffoli (£20.50 a bottle), and robust southern Rhone complexity from the 2005 Raspail-Ay (£29.50 a bottle). Hine Cognac and Quintal do Noval Port keep up the quality levels behind the bar.
The food here is a distinct step up from the usual pub grub, without roaming into the dangerous territory of over-priced crocodile steaks. The printed menu offers a tempting selection of light snacks and pub classics, such as fish and chips in Donnington ale batter of course and Gloucester Old Spot bangers and mash, both for £9.95.
However, some of the best dishes appear on the daily specials: the steamed mussels are a regular feature here, arriving in a particularly tasty broth, either as a starter (£5.95) or a main (£11).
You might get lucky and time your visit with a recent delivery of fresh halibut or local venison. Some of the prices are higher than the average pub, but then so is the quality and youre unlikely to have room for pudding, except possibly one of the ice creams produced a few miles down the road.
At any time of day, this is a picturesque spot to enjoy a pint, but the evening sunset with views stretching as far as the Black Mountains should soften even the most jaded character.
In winter, settle by the fire if the dogs will clear you a space and enjoy the disarmingly charming hospitality from Pip, or quiz Carl on the provenance, anatomy and preparation of the various dishes emerging from the kitchen.
As you can imagine, its worth reserving a table here if youre looking for anything more substantial than a pint. The pub lies on the Cotswold Way and is understandably popular with walkers. You might decide to be one of them if youre going to work up the appetite to do this place justice.
Tina and Charity 18th July 2009, 20th July 2009Had a fantastic meal, slow roasted pork belly was the best Iv ever had, perfect. Great service, good value, warm welcome and fantastic views... will definately be back and will recommend to friends. Thank you for a lovely evening.
Matt Campbell, 16th July 2009Definately worth the walk. Cant wait to roll my eggs at easter!
Rob miller, 5th June 2009Cool site.
Sarah, 3rd April 2009A warm and welcoming pub with fantastic food. We came all the way from New York for dinner at The Mount Inn and an evening at Shenberrow Hill. This year's visit did not disappoint. The food is local and fresh and very well made. The owners were inviting and friendly. We could spend many evenings next to the fire with our dog at our feet. Too bad we don't have something like this at home.
Keith and Sue Ward, 26th January 2009Sue and I live in the Cotswolds and have visited probably every pub in the area. Without doubt, Pip and karl Baston have made the Mount Inn the best of the bunch. We knew they would, having been regulars at their previous pub where they became hugely popular (Plough, Cold Aston). Pip is delightful and Carl a wonderful chef who just loves his work. The food is exceptional, the ambience fantastic and there are no superlatives to give justice to the setting and views. We are regular contributors to the Good Pub Guide, having sent in reviews of over 80 pubs we have visited. We can honestly say that the Mount Inn, under Pip and Karl's stewardship, stands head and shoulders above all others.
chris and jill higgins, 17th January 2009i have eaten at the mount and enjoyed a fantastic three coures pri fix at ony 15 pounds for scallops partridge and a pudding with local veg it was cooked so well i would have paid 15 for the partridge its self so the starter and pudding for us was a bounus will will return -- keep it up
Alan Jones, 12th December 2008Also published in the UCAS staff e-magazine.
After work on Friday 5 December, my brother and I set off to visit Broadway in the hope of picking up some Christmas spirit at one of the beautiful villages late night Christmas shopping events.
This worked admirably, as we visited some lovely shops in a gorgeous setting, had complimentary mugs of hot chocolate and mulled wine thrust at us, grabbed a snack at one of two outdoor barbecues, saw delighted children riding in a horse drawn carriage with Santa Claus, and bumped into various elves, Victorian carol singers etc (needless to say, I too wore the silliest Christmas hat and sweater I could muster!).
Having partaken of all this wintry festive revelry, we headed off back towards Cheltenham. However, we were determined to stop at a pub we had never tried before for a swift pint and if impressed, perhaps a bite to eat as well. So, not far from Broadway, just before you get back into Gloucestershire, we headed into the village of Stanton, and up a steep drive to the Mount Inn.
There we enjoyed an excellent pint of a locally brewed ale (Donningtons SBA), had a pleasant chat with some of the locals and bar staff (in an atmosphere conducive to chat and devoid of music and fruit machines indeed, one local dad was teaching his young son and daughter to play chess!).
We were indeed tempted to try the fare, and it was exquisite. Both of us plumped for the locally sourced pan seared venison on bubble and squeak with winter vegetables and a jus of thyme and juniper berries with baby onions from the specials board. It was pure melt-in-the-mouth heaven and very reasonably priced at £13.50.
Also on the specials board were dishes like pan seared scallops served on celeriac puree with a thickened jus (£6.50 starter/£13 main), local partridge on bubble and squeak with chestnut, baby onion and bacon jus (£12.95) and lightly breaded deep fried brie served with a red wine, cranberry and orange sauce (£5.50); while the main menu boasted tomato and chickpea curry with saffron rice (£9.50), Gloucester Old Spot sausage served on cheddar mash with a rich jus (£9.95). And for those with a sweet tooth, how about elderflower cream or Christmas pudding flavoured local Herefordshire ice cream? Or Hayles Blenheim apple fritter? They even offered a locally sourced cheeseboard, boasting a selection of five Cotswold cheeses.
With an open log fire warming the bar and outside terrace area with tables (which must be wonderful in the summer, giving a lovely view over the surrounding countryside), we were mightily impressed and well satisfied.
... So much so in fact, that I have even sent a report to the Good Pub Guide.

Interview with General Hospital's Kelly Thiebaud
Known for being David Guetta's video girl, Kelly Thiebaud is now "the bad girl of Daytime" as Dr. Britt Westbourne on the 50th season of General Hospital. (Photo courtesy of Kelly Thiebaud)
If you're a fan of Viva Glam, you're probably a big fan of fashion, beauty, and entertainment. You might even consider yourself a diehard fan of something. Maybe you own every album by The Rolling Stones, own too many Jimmy Choo heels (but still owe college loans), or have an obsession with Channing Tatum in Magic Mike and have used the excuse, "I just love the…acting" too many times.
Being a diehard fan implies dedication and diehard fans are taking over the entertainment industry. With sites such as Kickstarter, fans took the Veronica Mars Movie into their own hands and demanded a completion to the story. Soap operas have been on the decline ever since the 70s when more women entered the job market. Now with only four soaps remaining on broadcast television, diehard fans are the only things keeping shows like General Hospital on the air since they never release DVDs simply due to the quantity of episodes. But, since GH just celebrated 50 years, I'm sure they are going nowhere and are making the fans proud.
Newcomers are added to soaps quite frequently, but there is one in particular who is really turning heads with her unique look and her powerhouse character. Kelly Thiebaud, an actress formerly known for being David Guetta's "video girl", joined the cast in September 2012 to play Dr. Britt Westbourne on the famous soap. Within mere months, Thiebaud has already been given juicy storylines such as a love triangle and a potentially fake pregnancy. With all of the drama she's bringing to daytime, she just might make a few women call in sick.
Q&A with Kelly Thiebaud
General Hospital is celebrating 50 years. What's it like to be a part of such a legacy?
I feel very blessed to be on such an iconic show right when its celebrating 50 great years. It's a special time for us right now and people are really supporting what we do.
You play Dr. Britt Westbourne on General Hospital. How are you enjoying your character?
I absolutely love my character and all her layers. [I'm] excited to see what else comes her way and what other juicy things she gets herself involved in. I get to play every time I go to "work". [There's] nothing better.
Describe your overall experience being in four of David Guetta's videos.
Being in David Guetta's videos is a highlight of my career. I loved every second from the first video to the last. It gave me the push to whole-heartedly pursue acting. It also gave me a broader fan base now that is worldwide.
How is your relationship with David Guetta today?
My relationship with David is great. We haven't seen each other in years. But if we did, we'd sit down over a glass of champagne and laugh over the years since we worked together.
How did your fan base change with the video opportunity?
The videos gave me access to parts of the world I might not have been able to reach 'till further down the line. Now, people all over the world know my face and are interested in who I am. It also satisfied my desire to combine my two passions, acting and music.
Follow Kelly Thiebaud!

The Valdosta Lowndes Parks and Recreation Authority changed things a little this year and put judging responsibilities for their house-decorating contest into smaller hands.
"Instead of VLPRA staff being judges, we allowed some children from the community a chance to make the decisions," said Sarah Pinson, program coordinator.
Six children who submitted original artwork of a holiday scene boarded the authority's new bus with their parents and guardians and Executive Director George Page to view area houses decorated from top to bottom for the holidays.
"Each child had a clipboard with all of our
house-decorating contestants and space to write what they liked about each house – they had a great time," said Pinson.
The children took time at each house to discuss what they liked about the decorations and how the houses stacked up against each other. In between houses, the kids shared holiday plans and goody bags with cookies, milk and chocolate.
"We are looking forward to keeping kids involved in this event every year," said Pinson. "It is a fresh twist on an annual program that our agency puts on and is a great way to share some holiday spirit with kids in our community."
The contest had three categories: WOW!, Reason for the Season and Humorous. The children chose Bill and Joanne Halter's home on McRee Drive as the winner in the WOW! category. Mathew Lindsey Jr. on Webb Road in Hahira won top honors in the Humorous category, and Maggie Johnson on Knights Academy Road placed first in the Reason for the Season category.

Toyota Venza New Owners Report
Short answer: Is there going to be any difference at all between the '10s and 11s? My impression is no, but I may be wrong, so waiting would be pointless unless you are banking $ for the downpayment. If so, then wait. If your present transportation may not make it another month, then buy now.
We're in no hurry. The 2011 is going to be based on the outgoing Camry platform and the 12 should be based on the new platform. Besides, if we fully load a 4 cyl, it will come in around 30k, about $32k for a v6, so we'll be riding our 2 reliable toyotas while banking $ for the venza. Also a couple concerns about the present model. The 4 cyl has very limited tire replacemnt selections, the gas mileage on the upcoming model hopefully will be a bit better and I think Toyota's drive to grow resulted in some slippage of quality/reliability based on reviews. Perhaps better to wait a year or two (or 4, in our case!) and see how their drive to regain their reliability crown goes.
Besides, who knows what bells and whistles will be added by then! But that's just me. Bells and whistles are fun for about the first month, then it's all a matter of reliability for the next 119 months. :P
I doubt your doubt. Very happy with Toyota after owned Fords and realized if they can't figure out how to build a RELIABLE automatic transmission after 100 years in the auto business, another 100 years is unlikely to yield any improvement. Ford builds job security for their service departments into every automatic transmission vehicle they build.
sammy56 Posts: 1Just bought a new I4 FWD Venza a couple hours ago.
Anyone else notice their car rolling back on a 10 degree hill? Did not notice that before buying and still would have bought it but... I use to work in a shop so I understand how this can happen, though I do find it somewhat strange because all my previous cars have not rolled back .. well ever.. On a steep enough hill, sure, but on 10 degrees?
Am I alone or is this standard on the Venza due to added weight (my other cars have been sedans, my Camry, for instance, doesn't roll back at 20 degrees).
Now that the use of the torque converter lockup clutch is common above 1st and second gear the torque converters need not be as efficient at coupling torque. So must vehicles now have hill-hold.
Press harder on the brake pedal as soon as you're fully stopped to engage this feature. Shortcoming is it engages the brakes and doesn't release them until you again depress the accelerator and then there is a short delay in DBW throttle response until the brakes can be released.
marvin6 Posts: 72I have the 20" goodyears on my venza. Yes, it rides very rough. You feel every imperfection on the road. I rode in a 2002 tacoma - stripped, no options - this weekend. It rode smoother than my venza. Perhaps those who have owned SUVs and pickups in the past do not find it bothersome.
oiiiio Posts: 1We just bought a 2011 Venza V6 about 3 weeks ago. I just recently started to pay attention to some of the dashboard details and noticed that our Venza dashboard is warping in some of the sections as well. Not sure if I should take it to the dealer afraid they might just make the problem worst, not sure if I should wait until it gets worst and then take it, or not sure if we should wait for a Toyota recall on that issue. This really sucks! Considering we have just bought a brand new car which is already showing problems for the next 5 years. What a screw up! Good luck to us the Venza owners!
ted_driver Posts: 4I did get the dashboard panels fixed/adjusted. Doing so helped a little bit. My dealer in Orange County, CA was good about promptly fixing it but the process took over half the day in addition to the weeks it took for the parts to arrive. Also, when it was done, the repairman said this was the best he could do -- meaning that if you are one with an eye for detail, you can still notice some ill fitting panels. This is nothing major; I forgot about it after a while.
If you do get it fixed, leave your car in the hot (I know it's winter) sun and let the plastic panels cure in the sun. This should reveal the most ill fitting pieces. Then take your car to the dealer. When they note which panels should be replaced, tell them to make sure those new panels (probably just fresh from the factory) are cured and don't warp after being placed in the car and adjusted for fit.
madbudda Posts: 1I purchased my Venza on January 3rd 2010 and had it nearly a year before my wife crashed it. It was a 2010, 4 cylinder with AWD. Two days ago, my wife was easing into a parking space at the local CVS with her foot on the brake when the car started to rev it's engine and lurking forward like a bull on it's own. This all happened when she was about to put the car from drive to park. The car jumped the slab of concrete that most parking spaces have in front , rolled another foot and jumped the sidewalk. The car was heading straight for the store when my wife turned the wheel and collided with a pole/column. This was the only way the car was able to stop. Luckily she didn't get hurt. The air bags didn't deploy either. Right now the car is in the collision shop with a 6,800.00 bill that the insurance company will have to pay. A complaint has already been filed and I am waiting for an answer from Toyota.
This is not the first incident that we have had with this problem. A few weeks after we purchased the car was the first time my wife notice this. Almost the same thing, She was pulling into our driveway slowing down as she approached the house. The car started to lurk forward and rev it's engine. She managed to stop the car before it hit the house. She told me about her experience and I questioned her. I didn't think it was true because the car is new and not on the recall list. Another couple of weeks went by before I had the same experience. I was doing the same exact thing as my wife, about to park the car in the driveway when the car started jumping again. The next day , I brought the car to the dealership explained the problem to them. They said the car wasn't on the recall list and to make me feel a little better, they had someone test drive the car around the lot. Obviously the car performed beautifully. I drove the car home and haven't had a problem till 2 days ago.
There is definitely something wrong with the car. This is something Toyota has to fix. Lives are at stake here. I don't want anyone to go through what my wife went through. Like I said before, luckily she wasn't hurt and my kids weren't in the car. I would strongly suggest anyone thinking about buying or leasing a Venza to reconsider different options. Toyota is not going to admit that there is a problem with its cars unless enough people complain or seriously get hurts or even dies. They always come out with a recall when its too late or 3 years later. This is there MO. I'm just venting because I am mad. I bought this car because the car looks nice and wanted my family to feel safe. Toyota failed in the latter of the two.
horsepower4 Posts: 5">We just traded our Kia Sedona van for a certified 2009 Toyota Venza with 8000 miles. While I loved my van (and do miss the space, ride, convenience), the Venza is much more stylish and affords me the versatility of the fold-down seats and space in the back. Besides the looks of the car, we really like the mileage. Got the I4 and it seems to have plenty of go-power to pass and accelerate. The best part is, we have gotten as much as 34 mpg. with a tailwind on interstate driving and consistently average 26-27 combined city and highway driving.
The car is comfortable to drive, plenty of seat adjustment, and room in the back seat. We do notice road noise at highway speeds and it is not related to the sunroof. For that reason, we are thinking of having the radio speakers replaced to improve sound, and while they have the door panels off, will probably have some insulation added. Something we should not have to spend extra money on.
Mechanically, we do not have any issues with engine noise or transmission shifting. It runs very quiet and shifts just like it should. I don't think the steering link to the front-end feels as "connected" and tight as it should (compared to my van); nor does it ride nearly as smooth. We feel the bumps and they actually can throw the car slightly. Of course it's a lighter-weight car than the Kia Sedona van, but still overall does not hold the road or steer as tight as I would expect for a new car with only 8000 miles on it. We drove new 2010 Venzas before purchasing this used one and I did not notice so much wind noise or handling issues. This 2009 is Toyota certified and had a clean CarFax report, so it shouldn't be flawed.
We held out for a Venza with leather interior because, as a repair professional who works on car interiors, I had some reservations about keeping the cloth seats clean. As far as the quality of the interior materials, Toyota has reduced the quality. The plastic parts seem to scratch and scuff much easier than those in my Kia. (It was very durable and near perfect after 5 years and 75,000 miles.) And the leather used in the seats is not as thick or of the quality as that in cars of a few years ago. Same can be said for the vinyl and plastic parts.
We purchased a Toyota extended warranty which hopefully will take care of any issues the car may have while we own it. It is transferrable to the next owner as well. The gas mileage is enough to help us overlook the handling and noise problems for now. We will drive it for awhile and see what else comes on the market in a year or two. As far as appearance, we got the blizzard pearl and it is a head-turner. Get lots of compliments on it and it does turn heads. Overall, we are satisfied with the car and the money it saves us at the pump!
vanza_safety Posts: 1I recently bought a 2011 vanza, and I had same issue on uphill. This car would roll back on drive UNSTOPPABLE until you press brake or accelerate pedal. I really think it's a safety hazard and a design flaw. So I did some googling, and found you have to manually activate the feature by fully stepping on the brake pedal until a beep is heard and the traction control light comes on. I have tested it on my car, it works fine when stopping on the uphill. I hope anyone see this post would post it on your forum or somewhere else to let other people to know and get safe on this car.
gurbeer4 Posts: 1I have an Honda Crv. and I want to change and will keep this car atleast next 5-6 years.. Do u recommend this car. I like the car to drive and be nice and steady...I kinda also do 4-5 hrs road trip here and there, so I need something nice .. Do u guys recommend this car ?
tennisjuncky Posts: 1Hal, I have the exact same noise coming from the drivers front wheel area. It sounds like a chain clacking inside when driving on rough pavement or railroad track overpass.I took it to the dealer and they could not try to fix it because " the mechanic could not locate exactly where the noise was coming from". I plan on taking it back before the warrantee expires. If no help I am going back to a Honda.

Great choice
Flower Flourish RSVP Postcards The quality of the card is excellent! It was great being able to write my own text. The difficult part was ensuring the look and font size, but learned to print actual size from the pdf and all was well. Customer service here is also very helpful.
Awesome Choice for RSVP
Fancy Blossoms RSVP Postcards I received my rsvp cards in the mail and was thrilled with how they turned out! I absolutely loved them! I chose the pearl finish so it has more of a shimmer to it. The only thing I noticed is the shimmer finish is not as noticeable on the color part of my rsvp card as it is on the white. Other than that I'm 100% happy with the results. Magnet Street made it so easy for my customize the cars to fit my colors. And they were speedy at delivery too!
Flower Flourish RSVP Postcards I ordered my invitations after several hours of trying to get them just right! I love how much you can customize. So much so that I wish they suggested a few different wordings. I placed my order on Dec. 22 and they arrived on Dec. 24 (two days is amazing in and of itself, but two days during the Christmas rush- impressive)! They look beautiful and are exactly as they appeared online. They were also cheaper than their competitors, though you can't tell by their appearance. I highly recommend them! Explore the site a bit- they do sell matching RSVP cards, reception cards, etc., but they don't show up on the main invitation page for some reason...

That path did open up, but it was not really of my doing. While at St Martin's I was mentioned to the head of the Australian Broadcasting Commission's television studio at Ripponlea, John Cameron. He, and his head of Staging, Kevin Lynch, had together created a concept whereby nominated persons outside the ABC would be recruited and nurtured as television directors and producers, enabling them to gain broad experience by working for a time in various departments. Television was very new, with little or no talent to draw upon except from theatre, radio and print media. The film industry developed by our forebears had long since been choked to death by English and American distribution and exhibition interests. I was invited to join.
The film was well regarded within the organization - and later overseas - and gave John Cameron and the Head of Film in Sydney, Kip Porteous, faith to proceed with a series on Australian wildlife proposed by naturalist, Graham Pizzey. We proved that the production of programs on film was viable, principally within the resources of the studio.Ferdi (Nandor) Genes, a refugee from USSR-controlled Hungary, who had joined ABC-TV, was appointed to assist Graham as director. I was assigned in the capacity of producer; although no roles were then designated as such. It was all a very loose co-operative excise and all the more enjoyable, especially as Graham and I had together grown up in the same beautiful area of Melbourne, one made famous by the Heidelberg School of painters; although Graham boarded at school in Geelong, and was therefore away for much of the year. It was an idyllic spot just up the hill from a wonderful swimming hole in the Yarra River, at that time surrounded by open fields and lined by Eucalyptuses.We filmed the wildlife series and, as with Alcheringa, on many locations in the bush away from human habitation. I secured two Land Rovers from the Commonwealth Government Pool and hired caravans to accommodate us. We were now four, as Nobby Clarke joined as cameraman. The cuisine was not great, our repertoire limited. So much so that the other three boys could hardly wait to get a weekend free. They would pile into one of the vehicles and head for Mildura on the Murray River to enjoy showers, a swimming pool, clean sheets and professional tucker. I am more the contemplative type and relished the peace at the edge of Hattah Lakes. It was only disturbed by the cacophonous chorus created each morning by the aforementioned pelicans, coots and dozens of other wading birds, then later, by their more quietly spoken résumés of the day's activity as the sun went down. Besides, someone had to mind our settlement.
My first project, which took some time to complete as I could raise no money and had to finance it with the help of part-time work, was Yoga and the Individual; a 35mm film of 16 minutes duration in beautiful black and white. It was unusual to shoot a documentary on 35mm then; 16mm, being more portable and, due to cost factors, almost exclusively used. But I wanted to prove that we could demonstrate professional first-class quality in both image and sound. This was the Australia of 'near-enough is good enough', a very frustrating and limiting milieu in which to work, one that lasted a very long time in many fields of endeavour. I did succeed in attaining my goal in that Yoga and the Individual won a Silver Award in the Australian Film Institute's annual competition (1966), and was broadcast by both the BBC in the United Kingdom and ABC-TV in Australia. I also made it available for distribution on 16mm.There followed a number of commissioned documentaries during the 1960s that I wrote, directed and produced before joining Tim Burstall and Patrick Ryan as associate producer and first assistant director on their first feature: 2000WEEKS. Later, during pre-production, David Bilcock Snr, founder of Senior Films, also joined us as associate producer, bringing with him additional finance and facilities. The film was released in 1968 and also introduced us to the reality of feature film distribution and exhibition; moribund with regard to Australian narrative drama.

A woman is suspected of shoplifting more than $600 worth of items from two different clothing stores, according to a police report from the Livingston County Sheriff's Department.
Police say an employee from the Gap store in the Tanger Outlet Mall contacted police regarding a retail fraud in progress after observing on camera a female putting clothing items from the store into a shopping bag.
The female suspect arrived with another woman, according to the report, but the other woman was not seen taking any items.
According to the report, after the suspect saw one police officer enter the store, she placed the shopping bag under a rack of clothes and left, but was stopped by a different officer on scene who was waiting outside the store.
Police say the suspect gave the officers a wrong name and then admitted that she had been planning on stealing some of the items in the bag.
When police retrieved the bag left in the store, they found items from Old Navy with no receipt. The suspect admitted to taking those clothing items valued at more than $45.

The Will Ferrell Super Bowl spot you never saw.
Because it only aired in one small city in Nebraska. Classic.
Wow. Wish they would have replaced one of the Adriana Lima ads with this.
That was actually good.
The Will Ferrell spot I still haven't seen, since the link has been changed to private.
FU private video.
It had a drawn twizzler red lip image in the beginning that looked like a four year old drew it. Then Will coming towards you walking slowmo for the majority of the secondage in a corn wheat field, and at the very last second before rashly clipped off he was thrown a can he spewed open to sip.
It was thrilling! It was better than the lost cat dorritos commercial that that graphic designer got paid a mill for, and hopefully not more from YouTube.
The world has reached a point of no return!
Only in Nebraska. Suspiciously from a small town of a road outside of Carney.

The panel of three administrative judges from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission sat before a ballroom of mostly suited and silent folks (and many members of the press) for today's first in a series of federal hearings on the relicensing of Indian Point.
The scene inside the DoubleTree Hotel hall was sedate and formal compared to the singing and chanting that happened here in May, when some pro-nuclear speakers competed for airtime againt "Shut it Down" outbreaks.
Then, Assemblyman Thomas Abinanti said "Indian Point is an accident waiting to happen," while Martha Gordon, President of Westchester Business Council, praised the industry's importance in the region for keeping electricity costs down and people employed.
Today, it was the first chance for major opponents—New York, Clearwater, Riverkeeper—to officially make their case before the NRC.
Outside the proceedings, Tarrytown Police providing security screening reported no issues so far and no real protest.
"You're not going to have all the Raging Grannies" this time, said an NRC security man having his lunch break. The hearings are "evidentiary" only, he said, meaning the public can only listen.
Jim Steets, communications director for the Entergy company that owns the plant, said "we are pretty confident" in how things will go in the coming weeks (and months, if not years). He anticipated the question of relicensing, serioiusly begun in 2007, would not be resolved for several more years.
See video of Steets attached here.
"When all is said is done, it will be hard to argue that there wasn't an opportunity to express every side," Steets said. "I do have a sense that this is a good opportunity for us to present the scientific and technical basis for our argument to the public."
As does Riverkeeper.
Read about the last Indian Point hearing in Tarrytown here.
Hearings will be held this through Thursday and are scheduled to start at 9 a.m. and end at about 6 p.m., McQuade said. People can start entering the hotel conference room at 8:30 a.m. No public comments are allowed.
Future hearing dates have been scheduled for Oct. 22-24 and Dec. 10-14.

Not sure this credits the right soloists. Tenor solo on Satta Massagana is Ben Somers and I'd check the trumpet solos too and the flugelhorn.
Tom, It's unclear from the credit notes exactly who solos where, so my accreditation of the Satta solo (and indeed others) could be wrong. All the musicians contribute wonderfully to the music, however.
A great review Chris. I downloaded this album and feel that the songs the Ethiopians wrote that are more Ethiopian are easily the strongest. The reggae ones are kind of oh another cover version and a little 'cheese' is that what you say in the UK? They don't quite sound correct. It does make me question though why it is not actually an Ethiopian band writing their own music and album. Do we need all these westerners on it? I guess this is where the 'dub' comes from.
The horn sections are interesting but again I would like to hear all Ethiopian horns.
You are right about the keyboardist sounding very Astake like. An interesting album, but I would prefer to listen to a new Astake and Ethiopique classic musicians album or concert. But nevertheless.. One for the collection.
Hey guys! Mike here from The Planet Company, If you dig Dub Colossus come check out all other new releases including the latest from DC.

Hocking compares development culture to the Vikings
LucasArts' creative boss, Clint Hocking, has hit out at the poor balance in games development culture.
In his most recent column in Edge Hocking compared games development and its lack of female input to a the Vikings adding that in 1066 they were beaten by a more balanced culture.
He explained: "Game development studios and their teams are largely staffed in the same way that Viking longships were crewed. Consequently, the culture is overflowing with beer and pent-up aggression, and a very significant portion of our overall cultural output is fart jokes. I think we can do better."
Hocking continued: "This means that we need to better position the industry as a desirable workplace, one in which female artists, designers, programmers and project managers would want to be employed. It involves reaching out to universities and colleges to help them attract more female applicants to their programmes, enabling us to benefit from a greater number of female graduates. Like the Viking expansion itself, this transformation probably needs to be driven from the bottom up. Like it or not, the culture onboard your ships is the culture you're exporting. Fart jokes have their place in culture, but when fart jokes become your culture you have a problem."

A hailstorm struck parts of Eagle Rock Sunday evening—to the surprise and delight of Patch reader Jason Pritchett, who grabbed his camera and ran out on the patio of his Upperton Avenue residence to snap these photos.
Pritchett lives at the very top of Upperton, just before the street curves around a hill into a one-lane road that empties out onto Buena Vista Terrace and Nolden Road. (See the attached Google map.)
The hailstorm began just after 5 p.m. and wasn't as sporadic as another spell of hail that hit the neighborhood Friday. In fact, Sunday's storm, which left a snow-like blanket on streets and the tops of cars, lasted off and on for a good half-hour or so, Pritchett tells Patch. "There was a pause for a few minutes, and then it returned even harder for a few more minutes," he says.

Still missing tools
By M.L.
from Montreal
I can't believe it! After all the reviews complaining about the tool kit missing tools for the recipes in the cook book, there are still tools missing. And the best tool from the last kit - the apple corer - has been replaced with a flimsy unit.Tool kit and cook book both go back.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It's not absorbed very well into skin, so you should wait a minute or two before putting on your shirt on. More than one wipe is needed, and there are defenitely other anti perspirants out there. But I like the fragrance and how soft it makes my underarms.
LOVE the smell of this stuff. Works well for me, but I took off one lippy for its tendency to leave white marks on clothing.
This works great. I've noticed that I don't nick myself quite as often when I shave. However, I don't like the fact that it will leave white marks on my clothing if I'm not extremely careful when I get dressed.
More reviews by jenniferandroberts
For some reason, I have really dry, itchy underarms. I really like this deodorant because my underarms are not as dry and itchy after using this. It doesn't exactly provide the best protection during physical activity but it's good for enough for everyday activities. I like the "fresh" scent the best.
Works great and smells great but b/c of the obscene amount of white residue that gets on all your clothes and just does not go away, I won't be buying it again. I am sticking to my Secret Platinum. UPDATED: 02/26/06 Now that I've had a chance to try their Soft Solid and their Ultimate Clear as opposed to the regular run of the mill anti-persipirant/deo, this is what I use when I really want to control sweat. They've improved this a lot since the first time I tried it.
This a good moisturizing deoderant. My underarms don't feel itchy or dry when I use it. However, I wouldn't consider it an "anti-perspirant" b/c it did not keep me from sweating in stressfull moments. I will repurchase because it's great for my sensitive skin.
This makes my armpits itch for some reason?? I have no idea why..
My underarms never felt clean using this deodorant. Even after a shower I felt a residue. I liked the scent alot but it wasn't worth the clogged pores I got.
I can't stand how this stains my shirts with white residue. It doesn't matter how careful I am about pulling over my tops, I always find white marks and as another poster stated, this flakes up and drops off which can be pretty embarassing when your out in public.
I have very sensitive underarms and almost all anti-perspirants I've tried give me the itchies - all of them except Dove! It's very gentle yet effective (I admit that I do not perspire a lot - but this keeps me dry even in the hottest of summers and stressiest (is that a word?) of situations).
However, I must use the "fresh" version and not the original. The original scent morphs into something very unpleasant-smelling on my skin. continued >>

The meaning of fundraising numbers at this early point, as we all know, is largely an expectations game by the media, a game in which the campaigns gladly take part. So, what's the status of expectations 4 days out from the fundraising deadline? Let's look at the Democrats.First quarter numbers can be found here. As you'll recall, the big story was Obama outraising Clinton in primary dollars. It also cemented Edwards in the top tier as his $14 million take was not only well above his stated $10 million goal for the quarter, but it was also double his 2003 Q1 fundraising.
So what's the latest buzz?Hillary Clinton has been playing the expectations game by predicting that Obama would once again overtake her this quarter but now it looks as though the opposite may be true. From The Caucus:
[A leaked campaign] memo...estimated that the Clinton campaign would raise roughly $27 million this quarter, which ends June 30. Some of her advisers have predicted raising $27-$30 million for the quarter.The LA Times has Obama's spin:
Obama, who raised $25.7 million from January through March, could surpass that total, though aides say they have no chance of beating Clinton. Obama amassed a stunning list of 104,000 donors in the first three months and since has expanded that base.But really, regardless of who wins the fundraising race between them, both will remain the top two competitors in the Democratic field. Watch for Obama to continue to stress the number of donors to play into the "movement" narrative from his fundraising asks (even now his website declares 3876 donors just since June 25.) The one question on people's minds: will either of them break the $35 million 2003 Q2 record set by George Bush?
Edwards's Q2 strategy has been to set a goal of $9 million and to track the progress on his website. As of now, it states that Edwards is at $7,559,801 from 51,919 donors. Expect the number of donors to be key here as significantly fewer, 40,000, donated to his campaign in Q1. While the media has seemed to sense a whiff of desperation in his latest fundraising asks, expect Edwards to exceed the $9 million (especially with his secret end of quarter weapon Elizabeth on the case,) to play up the fact that it's double his Q2 take from 2003 and that it places him on track for their $40 million goal by the Iowa caucuses.
"This is not about outraising our opponents in a meaningless fundraising arms race or what any of the other campaigns are doing around us," said Edwards' spokesman, Eric Schultz. "This is about executing our plan, which is raising enough money to push our message in the critical early states, and building strong operations around the country."
No matter how Edwards does though, an impressive quarter by Richardson could drag him down off his top tier perch in the media's eyes into a new second tier. All Richardson needs to do, it would seem, is outperform his own Q1 numbers to impress and potentially knock Edwards down a peg. As The LA Times writes:
What's more, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who raised $6.2 million last quarter, could surpass that total and draw within striking distance of Edwards. That would vault Richardson's standing in the contest at Edwards' expense.
For Richardson, strong Q2 numbers would be an opportunity to secure a spot alongside the big guys, a narrative that's already begun based on his rise in the polls.
