nothing wrong with his comment, if a aposing player is a sissy i imagine alferd will run his ass over, no matter if the defender" want a man" or, want a woman. I think this a challenge to all gay linebackers to "man up" and put old blue in his place.

LSU running back Alfred Blue made some questionable (read: awful) statements on gay athletes.

He's entitled to say what he wants, but it probably never occurred to him he probably already has gay colleagues. If not at LSU, opponents in the SEC, some of whom may already have mowed him down. And if not in college, then definitely if he's drafted. He WILL meet gay NFLers. (He may not know it, though.) Has he ever heard of Jerry Smith? Roy Simmons? Esera Tuaolo?
Speak your mind. To hell with "politically correct". This country has turned into a bunch of wimps! If he is man enough to say it, he is man enough to live with any consequences! I have good friends that are gay that think the same way.
Yep... don't worry my friend because you all seem to end up in prison eventually and then you will be gay also. God help your children....
What? In today's world we don't have freedom of speech, unless it is PC? BS! Many agree with him. The only disappointing thing about his comment is that he is a senior in college and he still uses garbage grammer. What a shame that he wasn't taught better, starting in kindergarten. It is barely recognizable as English.
PC is not the norm, no matter what some published people say. All polls show the great majority are straight and dont want to be forced to acknowledge your perversions.Keep it in the closet where it belongs and then who cares.
Hey they want to partner up with each other
be a boy scout
now play football
can we just have some normalcy in football...
I can see some gay player think he's in the shower with a bunch of super models and that will not work for college or NLF regardless how it hurts...

The Friday List, Autumn and baby bundt cakes
Yesterday we spent a golden couple of hours in the garden of my parents-in-law; picking saffron cap mushrooms and quinces and now I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate both into a venison dish for one of our F.O.O.D Week events. Any ideas?
Here is today's Friday List. Happy reading!
The Friday List
Love this post from the Lunch Lady.I made these baby banana and walnut bundt cakes with hot caramel sauce (above) for my friend Prue of Olive and Clover when we caught up last week in Young (the kimono above is one of hers - online now) and the recipe is on the Olive and Clover blog
Speed folded peanut sugar morning buns from an angry food blog. Yes really.

I want to move into this London cafe.
This weekend I'd love to cook these zucchini fritters and these Crispy sweet potato straws (3-ways) from the Edible Perspective. Perhaps also a batch of sizzling fajitas?
I love everything about this Irish blog, and am particularly keen to try these Sticky Whiskey Toffee Puddings
Parsnip gratin from a new discovery Feasting at Home
And also new to me; Wholehearted Eats. Beautiful healthy food beautifully photographed
This is a bit cute - mailable cake slices from the House that Lars Built
Armchair travel - lets go and stay in this Belgian monastery (via Dustjacket Attic) then Manchu Pichu and stay here.

Have I told you lately how much I love your blog? Probs not, so I am now. Always love reading your blog and I do click madly on your suggestions - when I have the time - and am always rewarded. Only thing is it's nearly 11pm on a Friday night and I've just admitted to spending my free time reading blogs. Damn, my life is exciting.

It's possible that a society of educated people is likely to be more cultured and scientific-minded than one of non-graduates, and this should have positive externalities in the form of better political discourse and higher culture. There is, however, little evidence of this in practice.

For most, a generic off-the-shelf microSD card is probably just fine. It may slow things down and take a little longer to access, but that's alright in return for lower cost. For some people, though, having their device slowed down by a budget microSD card isn't an option. Other people need high performance for recording 3D and 1080p video. It's those two groups that the SanDisk Extreme Pro microSDHC UHS-I card is for.
Well, we now have yet another reason to envy Google I/O attendees - a signed copy of the official Jelly Bean build has just been released on the 'nets, but it seems to only be working on the 'takju' (GSM) Galaxy Nexuses given out at I/O 2012 (or at least those GNs with the IMM30D firmware).
You can grab it for yourself right here, if you're interested in what's inside the 156MB ZIP.
Today at Google I/O, I got some hands-on time with the brand-spanking-new Nexus 7 tablet. We've been pretty sure it's coming for a while now. Now that it's been officially unveiled, along with the newest version of Android, everybody and their gadget-loving grandma is chomping at the bit to see if the hype has been worthwhile.
In a word, yes, it has. Mostly. While my time with the Nexus 7 was limited, Android tablets are a sort of beast that are rather easy to evaluate quickly, mostly because they're all pretty similar.
Nvidia, in its ongoing quest to convince everyone to buy Tegra 3 devices, demoed several very impressive-looking games a few weeks ago. One of them was Puddle THD, and it's now available in the Play Store in both lite and paid versions.
In Puddle THD, you use the accelerometer to control the flow of water (and eventually other fluids) through a maze of pipes and troughs to reach the goal.
Earlier today, we looked at some new content added to the Play Store with TV shows, movie purchases, and magazines. Those aren't the only new additions to the Store, either; Google has also added some other useful features, like a revamped "My Apps" page, remote update, and remote uninstall features:
As you can see, the My Apps section now display images of your devices, as well as a way to see which apps are installed on specific devices, which is awesome for anyone with multiple devices.
Google just announced a new, completely revamped developer console that should replace the current app publishing system in the near future. The private beta sign-up link will show up in developers' consoles soon, followed by a global rollout sometime after that.
The new console is very clean and addresses numerous issues with the current generation interface. Some highlights include:
In yet more app news today, Google pushed out updates to Maps and its cousin Streetview.
First, Google Maps received the promised offline mode, wherein you can pan to a certain area and save it for use without an Internet connection. Pretty neat, though it remains impossible to use navigation offline, limiting the practical applications of this feature.
Additionally, Street View saw a minor update that should improve everyone's favorite compass mode - devices with a gyroscope should now be able to use it more smoothly.
This is insane. Google. You've gone too far this time. Look, the Nexus Q was a cool idea. Social streaming? Yeah, I love it! Hooking it up to the Nexus 7? Great! Making it giant, placing it in the center of the I/O conference and giving it access to the deadly neurotoxin? MAYBE NOT YOUR BEST MOVE.
In case you weren't already feeling left out of all the fun I/O goodness, what with the free Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7, and Nexus Qs Google is giving out, Artem and David—who are currently at Google I/O having all the fun—sent back this video of a gigantic, glowing Nexus Q, controlled by a Nexus 7 and what can only be described as a control orb.
The Google+ app has received another fancy new update today. Avid Google+ followers will remember that just a month ago, the mobile Google+ got a facelift. Well, forget everything you knew about that app. Google's social network is getting another new facelift. And a sweet tablet interface to boot.
The new interface has a much lighter, brighter look, while still maintaining the large focus on pictures and videos of the previous update.
Android has become somewhat infamous for slow (almost unbearably so) updates for users of pretty much any non-Nexus device. In fact, when Jelly Bean was announced earlier today, the first thought on some users' minds was that their handsets haven't even tasted Ice Cream Sandwich yet.
Google is well aware of this issue, though - last year, it made an attempt (albeit a feeble one) to solve the problem with the Android Alliance.

As owner of one of the state's largest dairies, Logan County farmer Lee Robey is a very busy man. In the fall, he and his crew are all-hands-on-deck, as they work to harvest his grain crops in a timely manner to maintain optimum quality. Any unnecessary downtime could be a real inconvenience and detrimental to the harvest progress.
To make the harvest run smoother, Robey has taken some of his profits from the past few years of record grain prices and invested in on-farm storage. In the past four years, he's nearly doubled his storage capacity.
Large grain crops in most of the state, coupled with low prices, have producers looking for storage options this harvest season.
Producers in areas west of Hopkinsville and east of Bowling Green are reporting near-record yields in corn and soybeans, like most of the U.S. Corn Belt. In mid-September, the Kentucky office of the National Agricultural Statistics Service estimated the state's corn crop at 215 million bushels and soybean production at 77.7 million bushels. Both are well above 2011 production.
Moutain Ag Week is packed with interactive learning for all ages.

This is a song lyric that follows on thematically from my last poem. It's kind of in answer to your question Craig. :o)
a longing for your arms
layers of silence one after another
peeling the onion – waiting for you
in the stillness of reverie there is only surrender
I open my fist to let you come through
how many times can I come to this water
ask the same question – feel the same pain
and how many times can I come to surrender
and ask that the water will take me again
it's an old returning – the lesson still to be learned
and in the ache of separation a longing for your arms
a longing for your arms
no other lover could be so familiar
no other lover
could touch me like you
until that moment of total surrender
no other lover will do but you
it's an old returning – the lesson still to be learned
and in the ache of separation
a longing for your arms
a longing for your arms
a longing for your arms
Very powerful Helene!! For me almost dangerous. I need a life sometimes I think ;) Been alone too long LOL
a beautiful, ache for connection……..
It feels like a memory, so powerful so strong. I need to be reminded
Thanks for the feedback guys. LOL I know exactly what you mean Craig! For the record I have had a couple of relationships since I wrote this song – nothing that's lasted though. But hope springs eternal. ;O)
nice! you should sell prints of photos with your poems on em… on bookmarks n stuff.
LOL I hear ya Helene ;) I have had one relationship since my ex gf left me over 2 years ago …. that was an online relationship with a beautiful Woman from America. Yeah I know … is that a real relationship? It was for me. I ended it New Years this year. It's hard to know someone loves you so much (and you them) but need to come to the understanding that you both may never even meet :( I didn't think it was fair on either of us to be so bound in that way. We are still in love and talk every day, but there is the understanding that we could both meet someone in the physical now.
this is truly beautiful and touching
and i like the comments and conversations it starts too
thank you
Thanks Amanda.
Helene, so gorgeous. Love the line "in the stillness of reverie there is only surrender". So powerful. Desire aches in all of us. Whether its a desire for attention, for spirituality, for peace, or for a quench of hunger or thirst. In some of us that desire is so unbearably strong. Your writing tells its so beautifully and dramatically. I agree with the comment that it would be a good companion piece to some of your images. Thank you. To have your talents are one of my desires.
Thanks for your lovely words Pepper – you're gifted in this form of expression too!

Do what you love and do it often. If you don't like something, change it. if you don't like your job, quit. If you don't have enough time, stop watching tv. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop, they will be waiting for you when you start doing the things you love. Stop over analyzing, life is simple.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

AP Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congress failed to override President Bush's veto of
legislation requiring the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq on
Wednesday, a defeat for anti-war Democrats that triggered immediate talks
on a new measure to fund the conflict.
The vote in the House was 222-203, 62 shy of the two-thirds majority
needed to override a veto. With few exceptions, Republicans stood fast
with Bush in the wartime clash.
"I'm confident we can reach agreement," the president said moments after
the vote as he sat down at the White House with leaders of the
Democratic-controlled Congress who have vowed repeatedly to force him to
change his war policy.
Democrats flashed defiance, yet signaled they were ready to make
significant concessions such as jettisoning the troop withdrawal timetable
in order to gain Bush's signature on a replacement measure. There was
early talk in both parties of setting goals for the government of Iraq to
meet as it strives to develop a self-defending, democratic society.
"Make no mistake, Democrats are committed to ending this war," said House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "We hope to do so in unison with the
president of the United States," she said on a day of carefully scripted
political drama at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.
The veto vote hewed closely to party lines, with 220 Democrats and two
Republicans in favor of overriding the president, and 196 Republicans and
seven Democrats voting to sustain him.
Despite the magnitude of the issue, Bush's political victory was a
foregone conclusion, and the one-hour debate on the House floor was
While Pelosi and other Democrats took turns criticizing Bush, Rep. John
Boehner of Ohio, the Republican leader, said that terrorists had made Iraq
the central focus of their war against the United States.
"If we're not going to stand up to them in Iraq, we're not going to take
them on in Iraq and defeat them there, where and when will we do it?" he
The day's developments unfolded as the fourth of five brigades ordered
into the war zone in January poured into Baghdad. Bush decided on the
increased deployment as part of an attempt to quell sectarian violence in
a war that has claimed the lives of more than 3,300 U.S. troops and grown
increasingly unpopular.
It was only the second time in 6 1/2 years he has rejected a bill sent to
him. In his formal veto message, he wrote that "the micromanagement in
this legislation is unacceptable."
He also called the original bill unconstitutional for directing war
operations "in a way that infringes upon the powers vested in the
Outside the White House, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid bristled at
that claim. "We are not going to be submitting our legislation to somebody
at one of the law schools to look for its constitutionality. We have an
obligation, under the terms of the Constitution, to legislate," he said.
"That's our job."
The main sticking point concerned the Democratic demand for a troop
withdrawal timeline. Under the vetoed measure, the withdrawal would have
begun no later than Oct., 1 with a goal of completion six months later.
It seemed unlikely Democrats would try the same approach a second time.
Instead, there was talk of establishing standards for the Iraq government
to meet. Republicans, too, support benchmarks, suggesting an area of
potential compromise.
But that led instantly to an area of obvious disagreement - how, or
whether, to enforce these so-called benchmarks if the government of Nouri
al-Maliki fails to meet them.
"Benchmarks are important, but they have to have teeth in order to be
effective," Pelosi said.
Whatever the ultimate outcome, Democrats said they were eager to proceed
"We're not going to leave our troops in harm's way ... without the
resources they need," said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland.
He said he hopes to have a replacement measure ready for a vote within two
weeks. Democratic leaders had said previously they hope to send Bush
legislation he can sign before Memorial Day.
Bush has said the funds are needed quickly to prevent serious disruptions
in military activities. Officials said White House Chief of Staff Josh
Bolton would meet with Reid and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell
of Kentucky on Thursday.
The House vote and subsequent White House meeting occurred in a political
environment of increasing complexity.
While the Democratic leadership in Congress signaled it was ready to make
concessions, at least one of the party's presidential hopefuls called for
a more confrontational approach.
"We've got a few days - maybe less - to do absolutely everything we can to
ensure this Congress responds to Bush's veto by sending another binding
plan to end the war," former Sen. John Edwards wrote in a fundraising
appeal on his Web site.
Assuming they jettison the withdrawal timetable, Democrats could face
significant defections on the next legislation. That, in turn, would give
Republicans in the House and Senate more leverage.
While most GOP lawmakers have stuck with the president so far, public
opinion polls show strong opposition to the war. Several Republican
officials said during the day that the party's lawmakers are looking for a
way to signal impatience with the conflict and the government in Baghdad.
Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, said she is circulating a proposal to reverse
Bush's troop buildup and transfer combat operations to the Iraqis if the
Baghdad government does not make progress in 120 days. U.S. military
commanders would be given substantial flexibility, however, on how fast
troops should leave.
Sen. John Warner of Virginia,a prominent Republican on defense issues,
told reporters he was circulating one proposal that he declined to
describe. He said he was confident "it can achieve more than 70 votes"
needed to override a veto in the Senate

A similar cooperation between local, state, and federal law enforcement may be reflected in a recent crackdown on activists in St. Louis. Demonstrators in that city had planned to protest at the annual meeting of the World Agricultural Forum in May. But before the protest, representatives from several police departments, including Seattle's, visited St. Louis police to share tactics and information about violent protest. Though St. Louis police deny making preemptive arrests, activists say that as a result of these visits, two days before the scheduled demonstration, police pre-emptively arrested 22 of the protest organizers. |
Ashcroft's Justice Department also advises police officers in at least some states to gather information on "enemies in our own backyard." In a police training manual titled "A Police Response to Terrorism in the Heartland: Integrating Law Enforcement Intelligence and Community Policing" officers are encouraged to investigate members of the "Green Movement"—defined as "environmental activism that is aimed at political and social reform with the explicit attempt to develop environmental-friendly policy, law and behavior." |

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Vote was democracy in action
Harper right to allow motion
OTTAWA -- Nothing raises the heat on Parliament Hill like an emotionally charged debate.
Last week was no exception, as MPs gathered to vote on a motion from Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth calling for Parliament to study whether medical evidence supports the definition that human life begins at birth.
The motion was defeated by a vote of 203 to 91.
Amid the emotional fray surrounding the debate, New Democrat MPs Niki Ashton and Franßoise Boivin said they want more rules about what business MPs can bring before the House, and that this motion shouldn't have even been allowed.
According to Boivin, there are things "we should not be accepting" for debate.
But opening the door to banning certain topics from ever being debated is like slamming the door on the idea we live in a free and open democracy. Four Liberals and 87 Conservatives voted in favour of the motion, 12 of them cabinet ministers. A dozen "yes" votes were by women.
Their constituents will judge them on their vote when it comes time for re-election. So will the 203 MPs who voted against the motion.
Like it or not, the abortion issue is always going to be a highly contentious one and will always be an issue on which people do not agree.
Polls on the subject show public opinion on the issue is heavily nuanced and never simple. While the hardliners on either side of the debate would have us believe this is a black-and-white matter, few Canadians see it that way no matter which side of the debate they're on.
Surely there are Canadians represented by MPs who voted against the motion who would have preferred they supported it, just as there are Canadians who will be disappointed their MP voted in favour of it.
Status of Women Minister Rona Ambrose voted in favour of the motion and is now facing calls for her resignation. For the minister in charge of ensuring women's rights, to vote for a motion many saw as the first step towards criminalizing abortion was unacceptable to women's rights groups.
But the freedom her critics have to express their displeasure with Ambrose's vote is the same freedom she had to express herself when she cast it.
Ambrose may pay a political price for her decision. She has offered little explanation yet for her vote, save a single tweet pointing to concerns about "sex-selection abortion."
Prime Minister Stephen Harper may also pay a price for the whole affair. Although Harper has repeatedly said the abortion debate will not be reopened on his watch, the events of last week somewhat proved the opposite.
His harshest critics accused him of letting a backbencher do his dirty work for him, that this was his secret agenda to criminalize abortion sneaking in from the side.
That makes his decision to allow a free vote -- or even allow one of his MPs to introduce the motion at all -- all the more curious.
Harper has been a man of tight control, keeping his caucus in a unified line for years. Dissent is so rare it has always been extremely noteworthy.
Maybe he allowed the free vote on this motion to at least appease the socially conservative base that keeps his party so well-funded. Maybe he did it because he was hoping to test the waters and see how bad going down this road could be.
Or maybe he did it because it was the right thing to do.
Politics aside, what happened last week on Parliament Hill is exactly what should happen in a free, democratic society. Opinions should be expressed freely and motions debated and voted on that not everyone agrees with. Especially on issues that people care deeply about.
Opening the door to ruling out of order what Parliament can't debate is a slippery slope anyone who believes in democracy should reject.
The motion came up, it was debated and it was defeated. The results somewhat mimic polls that show how Canadians feel about the issue of abortion.
One can only hope the freedom Harper gave his caucus to introduce, debate and vote on this motion will now extend to other votes and other issues as well.

Paris Day 3 - New Years Eve
... We could have hired this room for our wedding if we had a few million to spare! The King would have his throne in this room and the servants would enter and exit through the opposite end. In those days it was punishable to turn your back on the king so the servants would have to walk backwards over 75 meters out of this room. The guide said that often they fell and this was pretty hilarious for the King! We saw the real Coronation of the Queen artwork ...
Intro to Paris
... it costs extra so we did not get it. I will need to read more about it online. We also looked at the ancient armor display and the church located behind the tomb. There are several other exhibits, but we were done for the day!
We walked back to the hotel and everyone made the effort to keep going and not give up even though our feet and hips were pretty sore and tired. According to my pedometer, we put on 9.1 miles ...
From Barcelona to Paris
The cruise is now officially over, and we had a very early start to collect our luggage from the cruise terminal (it had been put out the night before) and get on the bus for our highlights of Barcelona tour which would end with dropping us off at the airport for our flight to Paris. The tour started in the Gothic Quarter - as there had been celebrations for La Merce the night before, the entire area stank of urine and was littered with beer ...

Good, but not the best Korean BBQ I've had. If I were to use this recipe again, I would use low sodium soy sauce and add a little minced ginger.
Loved this. It is going to be a family standard. We served it with cauliflower puree.
Overall a good recipe. The garlic and salt level was perfect, although the marinade could have been a bit sweeter. The short ribs I bought were a little tough (maybe that's why they were on sale) and next time I'll add a kiwi to act as a tenderizer. Finally, I broiled them in the oven. Placed them on a cooling rack with a jelly roll pan underneath to catch the drippings and set it about 2-3 inches away from the heating element. Broiled it for 5 minutes on the first side, 2 minutes on the second side and it was perfect.
I have made these ribs several times but never for guests. We had an Asian themed dinner with friends and served these ribs. I thought I'd made extra but every single rib dissappeared.
these are wonderful. we made them a few years ago for father's day and they have become a family favorite!
This was easy to prepare and tasted great, husband and daughter liked it alot. It's rare that they agree on food. I added minced ginger root to the marinade. I served the Sesame Spinach recipe with it, and it was also delicious.
I tried this in 2002 and it's been a staple of our summer cookouts ever since. Don't know about the authenticity, but the flavor is wonderful. Be sure to add the ginger!

As a child there were 3 things I desperately wanted to change about myself, Anne Shirley-style:
I have eventually given up on these three things but I was reminded again at how amazingly awesome identical twins are when Fun & Fit twins Kymberly and Alexandra interviewed me for their show. They are hilarious and sweet and one of them even has red hair! (Which I guess means one or both of them dyes their hair since the other one's a blond and there's that whole identical thing. Anyhow.) So they're pretty much living my dream! And I had a blast on their show. You can check out the 10-minute (ish) interview on Women's Radio .
Other posts I wrote this week: 13 Things Parents Wish Other People Knew About Their Kids. (I originally titled it "The #1 Thing Parents Wish They Could Tell Non-Parents" but that caused a crapstorm the likes of which my Facebook has never seen before. In the end I think it turned out very educational for everyone involved! So the next time you see a kid completely losing it in the grocery, please think of this list!) A grape here, a granola bar there – d oes eating in the store constitute stealing if you intend to pay for it? I'll admit to doing this one quite a bit, especially with my kids. Feeding them a bag of animal crackers buys me 20 minutes of peaceful shopping! But a Hawaiian woman was recently arrested for this when she forgot to pay on her way out. Crazy ensued. And it made me rethink the whole debate. Scariest Ad Ever! The Michigan Department of Health uses shock tactics to scare parents out of co-sleeping. There's still time to enter my Bare Escentuals giveaway and my T-Tapp giveaway ! Also: TODAY (Friday, Nov 18) if you comment on MizFit's post on the Anytime Fitness debacle, Anytime Fitness will donate 10$ PER COMMENT to charity!

When Mike Kemper was a child, he went to the Oklahoma City Festival of the Arts more times than he could count. His mother, Gillian Kemper, was an established artist who exhibited here off and on for 30 years.
Oklahoma City Festival of the Arts: An artist's life is perfect for Mike Kemper
"I'm an art festival baby," Mike Kemper said Wednesday at his booth.
For the Kemper family, painting and creating art is as natural as breathing. Gillian Kemper surrounded her son with art materials and parents who never said "no" to his artistic fancies. Quite naturally, he followed in his mother's footprints.
Now, the two travel the country, showing their art at various shows and festivals. They are best friends, Mike Kemper said. For several years they even shared studio space in the Paseo art district.
Kemper's booth at the festival is 19D, the same booth one of Oklahoma's most revered artists, Bert Seabourn, usually occupied when he attended the festival. Gillian Kemper took this year's Oklahoma City festival off.
Defining an artist
How to describe Kemper's work? Years ago, he said, he was having a conversation about art with a young teen at a festival. Later, the teen returned to Kemper's booth, pointed to the art and simply said, "Urban pop surrealism."
That's a rather accurate description, especially to someone with an untrained eye. It's urban, and definitely unconventional. It's pop, certainly, in its bright colors, strange content and concepts. And its surrealism is impossible to miss and almost as impossible to describe.
One might point back to his childhood decor to find an unconventional sensibility. "Our house was filled with these beautiful paintings of naked women," Kemper said. "I never thought it was unusual until I was in my teens and I'd have a friend spend the night and they're like, 'What is going on here?'"
Some parents disallowed their children to visit the Kemper home. The "cool" parents just shrugged and said, "Oh well, they're artists."
Kemper admits his art isn't for everybody. The richly saturated watercolors he adores lure patrons into his booth, but once they stand before his paintings, he said, they often find themselves confounded, trying to understand the bizarre characters, trying to deconstruct and make sense of the abstract strangeness that emotes.

There's definitely no shortage of sport fanatics out there, but even if you don't consider yourself a superfan, there's no shame in wanting to stylishly support your preferred team during Sunday's Super Bowl festivities. In case you are having a sportswear struggle, here's some inspiration.
Look 1 (Casual Sports fan): Blank Denim, $128, shopbop.com, Muk Luks Chloe Boot, $75.60, bonton.com, 3D Stitch Jumper, $45, topshop.com, Brown Saddle Bag, $69, freepeople.com,

If you don't like your lipgloss, you can wipe it off. If you don't like how your bun came out, you can do it again. But if you don't like how your mascara turned out, you're pretty much screwed. This is the reason that Urban Decay developed something called Resurrection. They claim that if you comb a thin coat of the substance through your lashes, it'll soften them up and bring them back to a workable state so you can fix clumps, kinks and even choose to add another coat of mascara if you want (for instance at the end of the day). $16, urbandecay.com starting February 1.
You use your phone to read the news, go shopping, and order food… Now you can use it to manage your beauty bag! Here are 3 beauty apps to know about:

2) Stash: Lets you track the use of your favorite beauty products. Scan the item's barcode and the app will calculate when you'll run out and even any current sales.
3) Drugstore Dupes: A brilliant idea for those who want to try new beauty without going broke. The app helps you find similar substitutes for the high end options, at more affordable prices. Works for makeup, skin care, nails, haircare, and beauty tools!

Katy Perry fan or not, when the singer, who is slated to entertain us during Sunday's big halftime show, instagrammed a picture of her game-ready football toes, nail enthusiasts took notice. So for anyone interested, below is an easy 3-step D.I.Y. decal option that you can tackle at home.
1) Using pre-purchased decals, cut strips to fit your nail bed size. (Football Threads Nail Decals, $2.50 for 20, etsy.com)

3) Once dry, place the white football threads on your nails, mimicking a vertical tally mark, to execute the sporty look.

Between caffeine, jet lag, bright phones, and computer screens, it's no wonder that we all (occasionally) have trouble relaxing and falling asleep at night. I'm no exception, especially with all of the pregnancy-related sickness I've been having… So I was excited to learn about the DriftLight, a bulb which mimics the sunset by slowly dimming down over the course of 37 minutes. It's said to increase your natural levels of melatonin and help you drift peacefully, which sounds pretty pleasant to me. $29, drift-light.com

For those who have been joining me on the crazy emotional and physical journey that is IVF, here's the latest news… xx
Since I began documenting my IVF journey on the TODAY show, I've received countless amazing messages from women. Today I wanted to share a particularly cute one that came in via Facebook. Earlier this week, after sharing that I heard the baby's heartbeat, Jackie Kaufman of Etsy shop RockMyWorldInc reached out to let me know about her sound wave jewelry, which is custom imprinted with the sound wave imagery from your sonogram. How precious is that? xx
P.S. you can find other affordable styles of heart beat rings, bracelets, and more on Etsy
Morning! If you're already a little tired of seeing the same old Golden Globes red carpet photos, then check out the video above for my Recap & Restyle segment, where I put my own style spin on some of last night's most popular looks… xx
If you're about to give up on your New Year's resolution, hang tight and watch the above video! There are some smart products in it that can help you stay on track so that resolution becomes a habit. Links are below. xx
Lumo Lift Posture Corrector • Massage Roller • Bodyworksball • Count Me Healty Bracelets • Boogie Boards • Stainless Steel To-Do Board
Not gonna lie, when these bath treats arrived in my office there were a few moments where we didn't know if they were for cats or for humans because of the clever packaging…but I suppose therein lies the fun Honeycat Cosmetics come creatively packed in tins and bottles and have adorable names, like "I'm in Heat" foot scrub, "Rub My Belly" cream and "Love Potion Number 9 Lives" body oil. Today, January 8, also happens to be National Bubble Bath Day (yes, that's a thing), so now you have the purr-fect excuse to indulge (couldn't help myself, sorry!) xx
Spotted this DIY project online and wanted to share. Seems like a pretty smart way to turn a too-tight dress into something usable– a cardigan You could also apply the same technique to a sweater. Just cut up the middle and then either stitch those raw edges down or use fabric tape to create a clean edge. And if you're feeling super creative, tack some buttons on & make it look like the real thing. xx

Very good
Perfectly located to visit Ronda Very helpful staff Great value at a reasonable price
The location, great cafes and now a local bus service
Ronda is becoming run down, lots of places closing down, even the shop at the railway station. The coffee shop/restaurant at station is not very clean...
The character, decor and furnishings of this poet's house all added to the charm. The bathrooms were beautiful with their brass fittings. Staff were friendly and helpful and incredibly tolerant of our complete lack of Spanish. It is in a great location by the gorge.
Not much! The place is at least clean, despite the dated decor.
Disappointing for the price. We booked this hotel based on good ratings, but the hotel fell far short. Unfriendly staff at arrival, at breakfast and at checkout (smiles are free!) The rooms facing the main road are very noisy. Cold atmosphere in general. Everywhere else we stayed in Andalusia (similar price bracket) was fabulous, but this place made us regret our overnight stay in Ronda. This hotel must do a lot better!
Decor in hotel and nearness to town
Breakfast could of been better only one drink in a morning is a bit mean Car parking expensive
really nice room. Excellent location. Staff was nice. Breakfast was nice. I would stay again
street noise and hotel staff outside speaking loudly. Room was very cold and the space heater only heated up part of the room.
Location Building
Personnel hardly speak English, not hospitable Very greedy: just one small tube of shower gel and one small tube of shampoo for the family of 3 people We've booked the double bedded room 6 weeks before arrival, but upon arrival there were just 2 small beds. We travel with a small kid and we sleep all together. But hotel didn't change the room for us.
Cosy, elegant, comfortable hotel. Great value for money. Clean, friendly staff
Parking is really inconvenient. Be prepared to get lost in Ronda as you park.
Good room, very good location in Ronda, just next to the bridge in Ronda. The breakfast is superb!
Bathroom is a bit noisy when the fan is working.
Location of hotel, communal areas, the young lady on reception very nice, Wi-Fi excellent.
The two male members of staff on reception poor, bed uncomfortable, water not hot, no dressing table, window difficult to open.
The room was spacious Bathroom was nice with a big shower Wifi was reliable Manager spoke English and was friendly, when present. Manager announced a new staff member was coming that may speak another language than Spanish
Neither of the staff spoke any language other than Spanish (not a word of English, French, Dutch, German, Italian or Portuguese) Staff members were often not to be found, when they were found they were generally unhelpful. The manager spoke English and was more helpful but I checked in on Friday and he only came in on Monday. Mandatory upfront payment at check in (after copying passport and swiping credit card), no decent invoice available until check out because staff only speaks Spanish and didn't seem bothered. Only when I demanded to speak to the manager I was able to then speak to him on the phone, with the news I had to pay upfront (per day if I wanted) and he would only be in on Monday. Breakfast only started at 8. There is no parking space near the hotel. There is a short term loading space which was taken by other cars that were just left there overnight, also here no help in any shape or form from staff to solve unloading problems (I had a lot of luggage and equipment with me). Recommended overnight parking was 500+ meter away and 18 Euro/night. Free overnight parking space was 1100m away. Quite a lof of noise from rooms next door.
The building inside is a beauty
Noisy on street side. Breakfast choice/content shall be improved!
Excellent location and wonderful young lady on the front desk. Hotel is beautifully furnished.
We had room #3 and it had a dripping shower (shower head and hot water valve). The most concern was a noise coming from what seemed to be inside the wall of an adjoining room. The staff told us it was a problem with the ventilation (heating system). It was extremely noisy all night long of our first night, and some of the second night.
design of hotel and very friendly staff. Great location
The location was excellent and the bed was comfy
Breakfast not included and toiletries could have been added daily .
Hotel was beautifully presented, exceptionally clean. Room was excellent, very practical and comfortable, location was excellent.
Very simple plated breakfast, no re-fill of tea, coffee or fruit juice offered.
The staff were extremely friendly. They were willing to store luggage for 2 weeks for us, when illness prevented us from taking it. The hotel is beautiful, full of character and art, perfect location. We would return.
the style and size of the hotel. the location - close to the New Bridge. the staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. I liked the simple, set breakfast.
the hotel is close to a busy road and I found the traffic noise and smell an issue. the hotel has a bar, restaurant and cafe terrace but in November/winter they're closed and there isn't a lounge area.
Location perfect - Beside the Historic Bridge with easy access to the Old and New town - walking distance to Museums and shopping streets. For hiking - beside Gorge and Valley. Intimate Hotel -Beautiful Decor. Manager and staff friendly and helpful.
Easy access to everything that you would want to see in Ronda
Parking a bit of a challenge - like it is in much of Spain.
small neat app., good location, good welcome & follow up
bed room filled with large ward robe, which does not require. a A bed which too small and uncomfortable
