This B&B was just what our group was looking for. There were 8 of us that were in a separate house on the property and we celebrated a birthday & just being longtime girlfriends! The house had a history just like our group. The house had some wonderful furnishings and bright & clean throughout. Brian & Cathy were superb hosts and the breakfasts were some mighty fine eating!! We all would highly recommend staying here and hope we can come back again soon.

What a wonderful stay in such a beautiful, well-appointed place -- we loved the Pink House. It was better than a home away from home. Thank you, Brian and Cathy!

My husband and I recently stayed 2 nights and were well pleased. The breakfasts Cathy made were scrumptious and Brian's delivery was always on time. The hosts were personable but yet not too chatty as to tie you up in conversation. The cottage was spotless, well stocked with drinks and snacks, close to town and easy to find. We will return!

Thank you Cathy and Brian for another wonderful stay at the Pink House. We were very excitied to come back to this awesome place because it exceeded our expectations the first time and you made this trip even better! The house is beautifully furnished and has all the comforts of home and the homemade afternoon snacks and the breakfasts were sooooooooo delicious! Rocking on the porch enjoying the wonderful spring weather was an extra treat. We will be back.

Yellow House B&B is only a couple of miles outside the town of Salado. We booked it for our 25th wedding anniversary (which happens to be New Year's Eve). Beautiful and clean grounds with a gazebo in the middle of several cabins. Stayed in the Green House (detached from the main Yellow House). Everything was perfect ... the decor, the swivel flat screen TV (can turn it towards the sofa or towards the bed), the comfortable bed, large variety of complimentary in-cabin snacks and beverages, and the hot breakfast was incredible. At our request they came up with a gluten-free breakfast for my wife that was as delicious as anything. Service and hospitality was beyond outstanding. Without a doubt my wife and I want to make this an annual getaway, but we enjoyed it so much that we may not be able to wait for our next wedding anniversary to stay there again.

What a fabulous bed and breakfast. The decor is splendid! Delicious breakfast was served in a very special room.

My sister and I met at the Yellow House B&B a couple weeks ago. We stayed in the charming Purple Cottage which was cheerfully decorated for the fall season. We enjoyed everything about our stay. The peaceful location, wonderful bed and bath linens, the breakfasts. I mean, the sheets were ironed! That's over the top! Brian and Cathy took great care of us. They were professional but engaging. Brian, when he learned it was my sister's birthday showed up at the door 15 mins. later with two delicious cupcakes, one with a candle that he lighted. We even sang Happy Birthday to her. The breakfast menus and presentation were delightful! A beautiful basket packed with yummy dishes tucked in with cheerful teatowels .was brought to us each morning. There'd be a knock at the door and when we opened it was fun to see what we had. We were spoiled and didn't want to leave. You won't be disappointed!

This was the best b and b experience I've ever had. We were greeted by Cathy who was carrying a plate of warm chocolate chip cookies right from the oven! We stayed in the Pink House. The amenities provided those "extras" that not many places do such as the Keurig coffee maker with LOTS of choices, a variety of sodas and water, snacks, and chocolate! You usually pay an "arm and a leg" for these types of extras elsewhere. The breakfasts were delivered by Brian each morning (the breakfast comes in a huge basket that could fit a small child...haha) and were outstanding. We loved that we didn't have to leave our cabin to enjoy it. The second evening of our stay, we returned from a shopping trip to find a plate of yummy cupcakes as well. We made a pack that calories don't count on girls weekends though! There were 3 of us (originally supposed to be 4) and the 4 queen sized beds were perfect for us to each have our own bed. The rooms are also designed so you feel like each bed has her own space/nook rather than the side by side design of most hotels. Cathy and Brian showed us the other cabins too and they are perfect for couples getaways too. We usually try to go someplace different each year, but because of the outstanding service provided by Cathy and Brian, we are definitely considering a "do-over" at the Yellowhouse B and B. :0)

New Mode Idea
- Topic Archived
- Page 1 of 2
- Last
Anyway, I was thinking, and came up with something.
For now I'll call it Attacker/Defender. Basically it is a team mode, with two rounds each 10 minutes long. The Attackers need to push their way into the defenders "base"(or key area) an seize control of it, while the Defenders must stop them. The Attackers will gain points the longer they are in the defenders "base".
After ten minutes the roles are switched. The team who gained the most points is the winner.
I can imagine some sweet maps designed for this purpose. Best thing is, the maps can be very un-symmetrical, and work perfectly.
Anyway, just a little idea. If you guys like it, expand on it, if not, well, whatever.
Put "Worker for the Regional Manager at VF54 brand Fruit and Vegetable Juice" in your sig, please. :)
There has to be something to make the attackers' job more difficult than just walking in to the base. There are many ways to do this:
Make the defenders stronger or the attackers weaker
Make the attackers spawn on the other side of the map
Move the defenders' base every once in a while.
I'm sure there are other (and maybe better) ways to do this, but that's what I've got.
I apologize for whatever I just said.
Yea that's pretty cool and I bet someones still going to ask you if your tconslayer -_-
I think the defenders should have turrets on their base with a bunch of sniping points, and the attackers should have to figure out a way to infiltrate them with out getting shot at and you only have one life so try not to get killled but you respawn in the next round, and once they infiltrate in a certain point in the base attackers win, but if the defenders kill all the attackers Defenders win, this a mode that needs a lot of team skill, and their should be more rounds and more time :P
Sounds like demolition, one of the campiest modes known.
^ I agree with him. Maybe the attackers would use their custom loadouts, while the defenders are armed with guns like phase rifles, deployable turrets, spas 12s, and SMAWs. The maps could have bases with lots of sniping spots, and holes in the wall where they could pop out at people tryingto get in. Defenders could spawn right in the base area, while attackers could spawn on the other side of the map. Good Idea!
I meant i agree with Z1LVER, not the other guy, he posted while i was writing.:)
ChunkyBoy13 6 years ago#8
this sounds like generator defense mode in Halo: Reach
It was my intention to have the Attackers start far away from the defenders. Very lengthy maps would be perfect.
I picture some rocky plains surround by mountains(with a few climbing spots, and hidden caves along the edges), maybe a waterfall or two, and some trees along the plains.
The Attackers will spawn from a spacecraft on the far side of the map, and the Defenders around a walled fort with large windows(for sniping) with ledges(for turrets).
I don't think the Defenders should spawn directly in their base, because that would make it too hard for the Attackers to ever gain time inside. Maybe a 10 second run from behind the base would be good.
And thanks for the help fella's.
Put "Worker for the Regional Manager at VF54 brand Fruit and Vegetable Juice" in your sig, please. :)
Generator Defense huh? Well if it's a mode that Halo uses, it must be a good idea then. I love Halo's multiplayer, even though I've only played it four times or so at a buddies.
But whatever.

Peter Gunz Makes Unborn Daughter His #WCW
Last season of Love And Hip Hop New York, left us with tons of drama we were glad we didn't have in our personal lives. The main story line and love triangle of LHHNY's season 4 revolved around Peter Gunz, Amina Buddafly and Tara Wallace and during the reunion show, Amina Buddafly announced she was pregnant with Gunz' child after he told viewers his relationship with Buddafly was a mistake. Despite these circumstances and Gunz continuously denying their relationship the two have remained together and it actually looks like Gunz might have the potential to be a decent father based on his Instagram posts.
Today he posted a sonogram picture of his and Amina's new bundle of joy, allowing fans to pour in their love and support. In the caption for the photo he simply wrote: "My wcw… its a girl!" which is breaking news for fans who were curious about the gender of the couple's first child together. Though we still don't have a due date, we can't help but wonder if their might be a premiere date in the works for some sort of Peter + Amina + baby reality show. You know Mona and VH1 love a spin-off…Either way, congrats to the happy family!
I Don't Want My Stepmother To Watch My Baby, Am I Wrong?
From Essence
Dear Dr. Sherry,
My father is very excited because I'm eight months pregnant with his first grandchild, a baby girl. He's already making plans to babysit and spend time with her. While I appreciate his enthusiasm, my issue is that I don't have a relationship with my stepmother—it doesn't go beyond pleasantries whenever were see each other. My dad cheated on my mom with her and subsequently married her years later when I was a teenager. My mom passed away last year. I know of many paternal relatives who would expect me to see my stepmother as my child's grandmother, but I just don't feel it's right. After all, they always told me to accept her as my own mother even when my own was alive. I don't trust her because she and my dad caused my family so much pain. My dad will always be my dad so I must strive to maintain a relationship with him. I'd prefer my dad to interact with my child in my territory because I don't want a bond to form between my child and his wife. If anyone will be called "grandma" on my side, it will be my maternal aunts. I don't know how to explain this to my dad, and my husband thinks I'm being too strict. If we happen to visit my dad, his wife may interact with the child some, but I'd never want to leave my daughter with both of them because knowing their dynamic, she would provide most of the care and have influence over her. If it's just my dad, it's a different case.
Am I overreacting?
Protective Mother, Cautious Daughter

Child's Play Is Serious Business
Raising children isn't child's play but being one is. Children experience their world through play. Play is the basis of learning in the primary years of life. Play stimulates healthy brain development, language skills, emotional expression, physical and cognitive ability. Cognitive development is the brain's ability to process new information, think reasonably, problem solve, remember and relate what you learned to what you know about the world.
Letting our children go wild with playing can mean a messier home, spills, more dirty clothes to clean and sometimes even cut knees and scraped chins we need to tend to. All of that sounds like more work for moms and it is. But it is essential to allow our children to play and to join them in their play sometimes. If your child is not naturally motivated to play or you find yourself constantly discouraging playtime, you have a problem. When parents understand what play means to children and what it looks like, they become more inclined to support the playing process. So, here is a guide to help you help them.
Newborns and Infants: The youngest of babies experience everything as play. Changing diapers, smiling at family, being fed and carried, holding a small toy, being sung to, watching mom move around the room–it's all play to them. When you see your baby staring at you or grabbing or throwing an object, that's play too! Join in the fun, follow their lead and copy their actions. Be sure to offer sound, space (to lay, roll, kick and throw), diverse environments (home, park, bus, store, sunshine) and varied texture (carpet vs. wood floors, hard vs. plush toys, bath water vs. raindrops).
Crawling and Cruising Toddlers: These almost-walking children are mastering physical control as they learn balance, coordination and muscle control. It is a very exciting time because they are becoming confident explorers! They are now interested in toys that have many possibilities like big chunky stacking toys, wooden blocks, nesting cups, shape sorters and toys for water and sand play. These are all toys that will keep your toddler engaged in creative imaginative play for hours a day.
Walking and Talking Toddlers: Items that promote imagination and imitation like cellphones, TV remotes, keys and your high-heeled shoes become their toys of choice. Now is the time to put all important items in the house away and turn your home into one big child's playroom. Let them play themselves into exhaustion. This is the perfect time to add things Play-Doh, scooters, crayons, finger paints, mini basketball hoops, dress up clothes and little tents to their toy chest. It is good to allow your children to play with toys across genders and generations. Rotary telephones, astronaut suits and feather boas are good for the imagination of both boys and girls, so try not to restrict them.
All of this play can feel like work to moms but it is worth it to try and be creative about how you make time to get involved in your child's play. You and your child can play clean-up games while you are actually cleaning or let them help you cook and have a picnic in their room at dinnertime.
There will come a time when schoolwork, practicing a craft and writing a top-notch essay for college take precedence over play but early childhood is now is not that time. The first few years of life are essential to who your child will become and how they will get there. Supporting and encouraging play is the single most important gift you can give your child.

Baby On The Brain? How To Know If You're Really Ready
You spot a cute baby on the train, and you simply can't keep your cool. You lean toward the stroller, you ask the mother inane questions, you gibber at the child, and then you touch on that child's hands as if your hands are clean (or as if their hands aren't covered in stickiness). You're crazy…baby crazy. The child's mother can see it and so can everyone else. Before you take that baby fever home, consider the consequences of "forgetting" to take your pill, or deciding that you wouldn't really mind being a mom sooner than later.
So much ought to be mulled over before making the leap towards parenthood. You have to consider your finances, your relationship, your support network, your mental health, your job, your social life, and also your body. Yes, lots of people begin a family with a 'surprise' child or 'love' child, but that doesn't make it an ideal situation, especially when you consider the financial state that most people are in nowadays. Likewise, planning to get pregnant without making any actual plans for after your pregnancy is far worse than an unexpected pregnancy because it reads as irresponsible; ironic because of the stellar amount of responsibilities being introduced. And this is sometimes done haplessly because of fear or expectations. Individuals place a well of responsibility on an unborn child, expecting that having a baby will fix their relationships, will make them feel loved, or give them something that they've been missing in their lives.
Before you and your boyfriend (or whoever the guy who may be) make the decision to have children of your own, commit yourself to spending time with other people's children. As a running experiment, try to spend time with children of different age groups at that, from infant to pre-teen. The mistake that a lot of women/couples make is that they seem to think that their child is going to be a baby forever, when the truth is that children sprout up faster than you could ever expect. Preparing for a baby when you should be preparing for a growing child is a sure way to get in over your head rather quickly. Babies just don't sit and sleep. They cry, they grow up, and they possibly become like those "other" kids you find on the train…
And perhaps you're like me: Suddenly, half of the people that you attended college, high school, or even grade school with, have married and/or had a baby as recently as yesterday. To top that off, their Facebook pages seem to indicate that they're living the ideal life. Their job is on point, living situation is on point, health is in check, and obviously their love life seems to echo the same sentiments. Nonetheless, while it isn't to say that their lives are a farce, they're usually exaggerated for mass consumption (aka, social media bragging), so don't let anyone's apparent successes hurt your self-esteem or fool you. This is chiefly because emotionally, financially, and physically, you may be in a completely different place, and not necessarily prepared to have a child in your life, a marriage, or more responsibilities than the ones already on your plate.
Let the merging of you and your boyfriend's image on the screen of your laptop as it morphs into a conceptual illustration of your child satisfy you in the meantime. While you're lucky enough to have time to plan for the child you want, plan for that child. Put money aside for when that day comes, and also, put together a "Pre-pregnancy" fund to help with financial responsibilities before and after the child is born. And because there are plenty of things that you won't be able to do when that child finally does comes along, enjoy your time with your partner, or better yet, with yourself, while you can.
Ouch! Meet the Biggest Baby Born Naturally in Spain
Is there something in Europe's water? Last month an enormous baby was born in Germany, and now Maria Lorena Marin is tipping the scales and almost 14 pounds. And this Spanish baby arrived the natural way. Yikes.
The Huffington Post reports mom Maxime and her doctors at Hospital Marina Salud knew her baby would be big but she wasn't expecting her new arrival to be quite so big. And at 13.67 pounds, she was definitely big. Amazingly, Maxime delivered her daughter with no help at all–not even an epidural.

Science Says Your Baby Is Ugly, Friends Lying To You When They Say She's Cute
Your bundle of joy, your little sweetheart is healthy, has all his fingers and toes–and is busted. At least, that's what the Daily Mail says a fifth of new parents think. That's right. That wrinkled, purple little face doesn't immediately make parents' hearts sing for joy and friends kinda think the same thing, though only about 10 percent would actually say that out loud. Does this sound like you? It's okay. No one wants to admit that, and only 8 percent of new mothers actually discuss their disappointment with their partners.
In a poll of 1,000 users, PromotionalCodes.org.uk got down to how parents really feel about their new babies' looks, and the truth? Well, it wasn't pretty. An anonymous dad said,
"Everyone seems to think they have the most beautiful baby on earth and as a new parent you feel you have to say the same even if you privately believe your baby is ugly.
My daughter is three now and she is gorgeous but when she arrived she was the most disgusting little thing I'd ever seen. She had a face only a mother could love, but even my wife admitted she was ugly."
Both a spokesman for the website and the anonymous father wanted to stress, however, that loving your baby is very, very different from thinking she's beautiful. She may not be ready for a Huggies commercial (yet) but that doesn't mean you don't want to love and protect that little thing more than you ever thought possible.
As for the 82 percent of you that said your newborn was the cutest thing you'd ever seen? Some of you are probably lying.
Smile For Me Baby, Lemme See Your Grillz: Iced-Out Pacifiers Are The New Ratchet Trend
Yesterday we reported on the latest baby fashion craze, baby wigs, designed to provide a head full of hair to babies up to nine months old, in keeping with the product creator's philosophy that they "believe in the beauty of childhood." But if you are not about your baby's hair being laid, fear not, you can still keep up with the Jones! Your daughter or son will be the most gangsta baby at playtime with grillz pacifiers. Yes, you read that right.
The creator of Grillz Pacifer, Billy-Bob Products, states:
" Don't let the fact that your baby has no teeth hold it back from expressing its inner balla'! So maybe he or she can't even walk yet, but your baby was born to be iced out! So give your little one a Grillz Pacifier! "
Trust us, we wish we were joking about this.
The product can be found on the internet only (no surprise) and the price ranges from seven to ten dollars. While the product is certainly silly at the very least, it also represents a misappropriation of black culture. On one vendor's website, a commenter posted: "Hey, something is wrong. The baby is not black" regarding the child who is modeling the grillz pacifier. This type of comment stems from the media based images that are projected through hip-hop. Although grillz are a popular accessory for adults of a certain ilk, it should not be for babies under any circumstances. This not only is not funny, it's just not cute. There are plenty of more important accessories babies need in their lives, like diapers and bottles. Let's work on providing those.
Will you be purchasing grillz pacifiers for your child or the next baby shower? Let us know!
American Women Spend More On Childbirth Than Any Other Nation In The World
Maybe it's more economical to move to South Africa if you're expecting a bundle of joy. Statistics show that South African mothers pay $2,035 for delivering a child while U.S. mothers spend $9,755 for childbirth. Americans, according to the Seattle Times, spend the most on newborn care than any other nation in the world.
Expenses for delivering children have tripled over the last 20 years, says a study by Truven Health Analytics. With the hefty costs of pregnancy, childbirth, and infant care, the bill accumulates to more than $50 million for all U.S. deliveries. Medicaid programs and most insurers disburse the most cash for "maternity and newborn care", added Seattle Times.
You would think that with such a high price tag on maternity care, American mothers would have access to advanced technological services than other nations, but this does not seem to be the case. Studies have shown that citizens of other developed countries "do not have less access to care or to high-tech care during the pregnancy than Americans do," it added.
Compared to other countries, the average American woman pays more for childbirth because they undergo the same hospital services more often. Women in the U.S. "tend to get more of everything, necessary or not, from blood tests to ultrasound scans", said Katy Kozhimannil, a professor who studies the cost of women's health care at the University of Minnesota.
Obstetricians once performed ultrasounds for patients in their office for a flat fee. Currently, they charge extra for the service or refer clients to radiologists who have much higher rates. (The New York Times did a big story last month about what drives up the pricing for procedures in the US, in that case, a colonoscopy.)
Studies show that in 2011, 62 percent of women in the U.S. who had private insurance plans — not sponsored by an employer — did not have coverage for pregnancy and newborn care. Even women who did have plans that covered their maternity needs were swamped by demands for higher co-pays and deductibles. According to a survey conducted by Childbirth Connection, expecting mothers pay an average of $3,400 in out-of-pocket costs.
From 2004 to 2010, the Truven study found that the out-of-pocket expenses quadrupled.
"In most other developed countries, comprehensive maternity care is free or cheap", Seattle added. "Ireland for example, guarantees free maternity care at public hospitals, though women can opt for private deliveries for a fee."
Pervasive use of midwives in Europe is another reason why other developed countries are not breaking the bank to deliver children. In America, obstetricians are seen as more of a necessity, but in Europe they are seen as specialists "who step in only when there is a risk or need," Seattle Times added.
Midwives deliver 68 percent of British births; only eight percent of midwives deliver babies in the U.S.

The Hurley School of Music offers a variety of ensembles for both music majors and non-music majors.
You can schedule an audition for an ensemble or read frequently asked questions for more information about the ensembles and the Hurley School of Music.
Vocal Ensembles
Cory Wikan, Conductor (email)
Camerata, founded in 1983, is the select chamber choir from the Hurley School of Music. This SATB group of 24 singers is dedicated to quality artistic performances of choral repertoire from all historical periods to the highest musical standards. The composition of the group is primarily voice majors, though membership is open to all Centenary students by audition.
Camerata presented an Ensemble Debut Concert at Carnegie Hall in 2007 and was one of nine featured choirs at the National Collegiate Choral Organization Conference at Yale University in 2009. They have been invited to perform as a featured choir at the Southern Division Convention of the Music Educators National Conference, the Spivey Hall Educational Concert Series, and the Louisiana Conference of the American Choral Directors Association.
Camerata performances are lauded for technical excellence combined with genuine understanding of musical expression.
Centenary College Choir
David Hobson, Conductor (email)
Centenary College Choir is the primary touring choral ensemble and musical ambassador for Centenary College. Established in 1941, the Choir is the oldest and largest ensemble at Centenary College, made up of 55-65 singers. The group sings a diverse repertoire of music, from classical to casual, making an international tour every other year. Nicknamed "America's Singing Ambassadors" by the press, the Choir has toured throughout the world, bringing the name of Centenary College to audiences in 32 countries on 6 continents. The Choir is well-known for its engaging visual and aural appeal, and for its heart-felt connections to audiences. The group makes two weekend tours each semester and a longer tour in January, in addition to traditional performances such as the Easter Sunrise Service at Hodges' Gardens in Many, Louisiana, and choral major works with orchestra. Despite an extensive performance schedule, Choir students miss very few classes. The group has the high distinction of having performed seven times at the White House, two lengthy engagements at Radio City Music Hall, for American Choral Directors and International Lions Club conventions, for numerous conferences of the United Methodist Church, at famed cathedrals such as Notre Dame in Paris and St. Peters in Rome, and in renowned concert venues such as the Sydney Opera House.
Membership in the Centenary College Choir is by audition only. The group is made up of both music majors and non-majors, and thrives under a vibrant system of teamwork and student leadership.

Vintage Porch Swings turns a hobby into a success story, with all design and manufacturing in the Lowcountry. Five years after building a swinging porch bed for his pregnant wife, Brent McHenry, a PhD developing medicines to defeat cancer and co-owner of Vintage Porch Swings, says "the porch bed swing is both a hot trend and a classic tradition, everybody wants one!" Vintage Porch Swings has performed every year ranging from 185 percent to 390 percent growth in total sales compared to its previous year.
Co-owner Vann Cochran describes Vintage Porch Swings as "a place to kick back, relax, read a good book and disconnect from the world." He adds that making the beds by hand in South Carolina adds an authentic southern charm, attention to detail and a Made In America quality which is unmatched overseas.
But aside from Cochran's soothing, southern drawl, the growth is fast-paced. "We expanded out of our current space on the day we moved in." Vintage Porch Swings now offers seven models, as well as personalized custom designs, which ship efficiently in flat packages to porches across the country. The bed swings arrive with easy-to-follow instructions, ready for assembly and installation. The bed swings can also be installed indoors.
Vintage Porch Swings has appeared in Southern Living, Coastal Living, Charleston Style and Design, on television on HGTV and the DIY Network. Stay tuned for Vintage Porch Swing's new Indoor Collection and see the blog for new designs and finishes. (vpswings.tumblr.com).

Next Act rings true in 'It's a Wonderful Life' adaptation

Stan, the crusty foley artist played by David Cecsarini, heaps insults on the station boss while also identifying the true culprit: television, which kills the imagination and turns would-be theater fans into sodden lumps. Actors, Stan grumpily suggests, face a grim future. »Read Full Article(1)

Milwaukee Music Video: See the visual treatment for Alchemy's 'Creature of Love'
The music video for glossy synthpop band Alchemy's "Creature of Love" doesn't feature unicorns, a snuggly, six-foot-tall stuffed animal or any other cutesy creatures of love. But it does have a CGI mud monster, a sickly, paranoid dude in a hoodie and the local group rocking out at Mad Planet.
"Creature of Love" is also the name of the band's latest EP, which the band celebrated with a show at Mad Planet last month. And it has another cause for celebration: after winning a battle of the bands at Marquette Friday, Alchemy will get to open for buzz band Twenty One Pilots at Weasler Auditorium April 5. »Read Full Blog Post

The most obvious conclusion that can be drawn from the Eagles' draft this weekend is that the Eagles are almost certainly going to be players in whatever passes for free agency this year.
While they attacked their pass-protection problems head-on by selecting Danny Watkins, who is expected to be a Day 1 starter at one of the guard spots, in the first round, they didn't do anything to improve a pass rush that managed just 15 sacks in the last eight games last season, and they didn't find a starting right corner. At least not for this season.
At 6-0 1/2, 197 pounds, Curtis Marsh adds some much needed size and physicality to an undersized corner group. But he's a project. He was a running back until just 2 years ago and started just 16 games at corner at Utah State. At best this season, he's the dime corner and bolsters Bobby April's special teams.
