Sadie Frost has done it. Ulrika Jonsson does it all the time. Paula Yates did it. And so have I. What we, and countless other women have done, is have children with more than one man. It is fraught, it is complicated but, in this day and age, almost inevitable. As more marriages break down and former partners take up with new partners, multi-dadding seems to be a modern phenomenon.
Until about three years ago, I thought I was part of this. I had one son, Raymond, by one father and one son, Leonard, by another - both men called Michael, strangely enough. Now I have Jeremiah Jones with my second Michael and am pregnant with my/our fourth child. But, bar the fact that I am having more children than most, I now feel positively run-of-the-mill. It used to feel quite glamorous having these two different fathers. Now it's just normal.
Yet still, when I first meet people, I can see them puzzling away about why Raymond is six-and-a-half years older than his next brother. 'Really?' people say, when I tell them the two dads story. Then they want to know if Raymond sees his father (not really), where his father lives (Puerto Rico) and whether or not he gives me any money for him. What binds us together, I tell them, is me. I am their lowest common denominator. I am our Elastoplast, related to everyone, whereas Raymond is only related to me.
In fact, the logistics of my own experience are pretty simple. My former partner and I split up when my oldest son was two-and-a-half. We were living abroad at the time, in the States and, essentially, I hated it. I decided to come home on a temporary visit and never went back. It was a very difficult time. I spent a lot of time feeling angry and then terribly sorry for myself. But eventually I pulled myself together and met the next Michael, now the father of my two younger sons.
The upshot of having a slightly fractured family is that my first child has a very strong bond with me. He gets access to me in a way that maybe the other two do not, because I feel sensitive to the fact that, sometimes, when he sees his two younger, blonder brothers, he feels perhaps a bit separate to them. I can cope with all that - I have now come to realise that I am just the tip of the multi-dadding iceberg. Four children with two men is nothing. The first two women in this article - Tierney Gearon and Jemima French - have each had three children with two men while the third, Leslie Kenton, has had four children with four men. In Tierney Gearon's case, she has just separated from the father of her fourth child, who is six months old, and has now met someone else. How has she done it? How have any of them coped?
It seems to me that, in order for multi-dadding to work, the central role of the mother is essential. The desire to want children, lots of children, is also common. It is almost as if the drive to have children outweighs the reality of the situation or gives weight to the rights of the father. If you truly believed families need fathers, then it would not be possible to keep continuing to procreate with more than one man and especially not three or four. I sometimes ask myself whether, had the second Michael and I not worked out, I could have left him and gone on to have more children? The answer to that is probably yes.
Jemima French, fashion designer
French, 40, has four children with three men: Lily, 16, and Dewi, 14, from her first marriage; Edie, 9, from a second relationship; and Meadow, 4, with her current boyfriend and fiance.
'I was a rebellious teenager and at the age of 19, I ended up moving to a small village in Bali to run away from London and everything that was going on in my life there. I was quite a hippy back then, and I soon started up a business making and selling children's clothing. It was perfect. I met a Balinese man there who could charm the birds out of the trees. Soon I was pregnant with Lily and then Dewi. I breast-fed them for ages, as is the tradition in Bali, and I was very happy. I didn't notice then that my husband was having affairs. He'd go and see a woman and then come home and feel guilty about it and take it out on me.
'I was very in love with him though, and I was devastated to find out about his affairs. In the end I decided to leave Bali. I had to be conniving and manipulative for about a year until I got my children British passports. I left behind everything I had built up - husband, home, possessions and my business. I came back home, still breast-feeding both children - they were four and two - to a flat and housing benefit and a city to which I no longer belonged.
'It was a culture shock. The children found it very hard. They had never worn shoes before. They didn't even speak English. Eventually the children settled into a nursery but I was still finding it hard. Then I met Peter Martin, Edie's dad. Within six months we had moved in together and, although he was a lovely man, it was a difficult relationship. I felt I ended up looking after him. We moved to Oxfordshire to try to find a quieter life for us all but it was pretty closeted. We kept ourselves to ourselves and Sadie [Frost] and I started our fashion business, FrostFrench, there as a bit of a cottage industry.
'My older two girls grew fond of Peter, although it was tricky at the beginning. They were insecure. But I've never done any of that stepdaughter thing - you are either part of this family or you are not. Lily and Dewi were both delighted when I had Edie. She's such a sweet girl - we always say Edie never leaves her halo off. But Peter and I were not getting on and FrostFrench was taking off so we decided to move back to London .
'Once we were back in London we split up. It was very tricky. I had met Francis [Ridley, her current boyfriend and fiance] and I had an affair with him but I was hopeless at lying and had to tell Peter. We ended up sleeping in different rooms and I'd go out and have my life - it was excruciating. Peter didn't move out for a long time because he wanted to work things out.
'Finally he accepted everything was over and he left. He was very keen to maintain his relationship with the older two children as well as with his daughter. With hindsight I think I encouraged that for selfish reasons as it meant I could have some free weekends with Francis.
'Lily and Dewi started out wanting to go and visit Peter but eventually they wanted to see their friends at weekends and they stopped going. But it means that Edie has quality time with her dad. They are very close. I then had Meadow and everyone was delighted. She shares a room with Edie, and Lily and Dewi pick them both up from school for me if I am working.
'Francis has been marvellous with them. Of course he knew I had three children when he met me. That has meant we haven't had much freedom or time for us and that has been hard. I can't say it hasn't been difficult but if you love me, you have to love all my children, and Francis and I fell head-over-heels.
'Lily and Dewi are very independent now. I am the link that holds us all together. But Lily and Dewi haven't seen their father since they left Bali. I am very honest with them about their father. My parents hide photographs of us all together as a family and I don't know why they do that.
'My attitude is the earlier you know about something, the easier it is to deal with it. I do think that Lily and Dewi may need to do a trip to Bali at some point in the future. Also, I am still married to their father and I need to get divorced ...'
Tierney Geron, photographer
Gearon, 43, has four children by three men: Emilee, 13, and Michael, 11, by her first husband, an investment banker; Walker, 3, from her second relationship; and Grace, 6 months, with Alejandro. She lives in LA and has just split up with Grace's father.
'All the men I have had children with are roughly the same age - in their early forties - but they are all so different. Vincent, the father of Emilee and Michael, is a French Catholic, Walker's father is American and Grace's father is Uruguayan. What binds them together is that they all have children with me.
'I always have children with men too quickly. I was 28 when I met Vincent. I knew him three weeks before we got engaged. We were married within six months and I was pregnant within a year. We were living in London and I was trying to be the perfect wife - Vincent is an investment banker and we had a pretty glamorous life. But I wasn't mature enough to cope with it. I had had a difficult childhood and I was looking for structure in my life. Vincent gave me that structure. We were very in love with each other but fundamentally unsuited.
'I had Emilee when I was 29 and Michael when I was 31, but then, when I was 37, Vincent and I broke up. We just weren't getting on and it was very upsetting for both of us and for the children, although he sees them as much as he can. I learnt then that there are two things you need to be able to do to go alone when you have kids; I'm not afraid to be alone and I can take care of myself financially. I used to be a model but by then I'd set up as a photographer and I was doing well so I knew I'd survive. But it is a huge thing to split up with someone. My dream is for us to be a family - me, my husband, loads of kids - but I keep screwing it up. I think my problem is that I'm so busy looking for a man, I don't take the time to find out if I can be a partner to somebody. I just jump in and assume I'll sort it out later.
'I moved to Los Angeles after I'd met Joe. We originally met at a party in London but he lives in LA and I moved partially to be near him. But we broke up just after I got pregnant. When we got together he kept telling me he was the typical eternal bachelor but then he kept going on about having a baby so I got mixed messages.
'I also went through a very stressful time with him because after Walker was born, Joe wanted him for 50 per cent of the time and I felt that was too much. Walker was only a baby. I think Joe couldn't stand the fact I had left him. He didn't want me but his pride was hurt. In the end we worked out terms and conditions. Joe has as much access to Walker as he wants. I always told him he could. None of these children need a replacement dad. They all know perfectly well who their fathers are. Joe takes Walker but if any of the other children want to see him or stay with him they can - even Grace when she's older.
'I met Alejandro at a party when I was feeling really low and I needed someone to lean on. I just fell in love with him. I was desperate for love and affection and I was falling in love with everyone really. Alejandro moved in pretty quickly and he was great with the kids. I actually didn't want any more children but Alejandro really wanted a baby of his own so I got pregnant with Grace. I thought then I'd be with Alejandro forever but he turned out to be a real dreamer and it didn't work. He wasn't pulling his weight financially or emotionally and I can just about deal with four kids, but not five. I went away on a trip when Grace was two months old and I met John there. He is 53, divorced with three kids of his own. For the first time I felt there was a man I could really be with.
'I don't have any anger towards any of the dads. In fact I am quite in love with all of them. If you are going to co-parent, you have to be at peace with each other. I think I have a great relationship with all of them. Having said that, they do get cross with me, especially Joe.
'I'm the backbone of this family. That is how I see it. You know, I'm the spice in their life. The kids all go off and have quality time with their fathers but then they all come back to me. We are like a tribe and we have a lot of fun. I think I get the best of both worlds. I consider myself very lucky. I have these incredible guys in my life and I always will. We are all stuck with each other and it means I am never alone. Every day I have a crisis with one of them - one is sick, one needs help, I've pissed one off or something, but luckily I have enormous energy and I enjoy it. I need chaos. I am such a hands-on mum and I love all the crises and I love having something to deal with.
'We have all just been to St Barts for Christmas. I had a house with John and the kids and Vincent rented a house and so did Joe. Alejandro didn't come. It was too difficult for him. In LA I'm the talk of the town. I really am hot gossip. For some women I'm like their hero. For others, I'm a pariah. My friends have this joke. They say to their male friends, "If you want to have a baby, call Tierney".'
'But kids are easier than men. For some reason I'm getting so much male attention at the moment, despite the fact I am seeing John. I tell men who approach me, "Turn around, walk away and do not look back". I am a very high-maintenance woman - not financially but emotionally. Emilee calls my men "my ball and chain". In many ways, she's the most mature one in the family. I just go where the wind blows me.'
Leslie Kenton, health guru
Kenton, 63, is the author of Raw Energy and the X-Factor Diet . She has four grown-up children - Branton, Susannah, Jesse and Aaron - by four different men. She lives in New Zealand.
'I just told all the fathers of my children that I was bringing up my children and that was it. In terms of how I managed to juggle all their fathers and their relations - well, I didn't actually do anything at all.
'I believed from the very beginning that the mother is responsible for the children, not the father, so I considered childcare as my responsibility. Consequently I didn't really see that these men had any particular rights with regards to their children. I didn't give a damn about being fair. I made it clear that I was the one in charge. I had to work extremely hard to support my family as I would not accept money from any of the fathers. I basically gave them no rights so it would have been hypocritical to ask them to pay for the children they barely saw.
'I didn't let them help out because I didn't want anyone interfering. Mothering is instinctual for me. My criteria is that I care about the children. I was made to marry Branton's father, Peter Dau, by my own father. I was pregnant and 18 and the marriage was a mistake.
'I left my husband and then got pregnant with Susannah from a one-night stand with my old flame, Barry Comden, who ended up marrying Doris Day. I then married a journalist called Dan Smith. He said he'd look after me. I had Jesse with him and he also adopted Susannah. Then, many years later, after Dan and I had separated, I got pregnant with Aaron. His father, Paul Cox, was an old friend of mine.
'Actually, the fathers of my children have not necessarily been the most important men in my life. I have had other relationships with men who have come into my life and into my household. I don't think that was a problem for the children because these men were very inspiring. I always made sure that any man I met knew that the children came first and all the men in my life have always treated my children as individuals.
'Of course the fathers did want to see their children but I let them only when it was appropriate. At one point, Aaron's father said he wanted to see him every weekend and I said no. I told him that it was not in Aaron's best interests as he was only six at the time.
'Aaron's father was very angry with me and he shouted at me and said he would take me to court, but I told him that it was me who had got up in the night when Aaron was sick, and it was me who had worked so hard to pay the bills.
'It's true that some people have been horrified that I have four children with four men. Others thought it was wonderful, but both reactions were inappropriate because I never thought about it. I could never have had an abortion.
'My children have always had a great relationship with each other but, when they were growing up, Jesse was quite critical of me. He wanted me to be more conventional and I think Susannah struggled for a while. She really wanted to meet her father and, eventually, at 17, she did. Actually he fell passionately in love with her and she's been looking after him ever since! So, honest to God, it's all been fine.'

DENVILLE - They heard it first in the summer, when they were playing in their summer leagues.
It started up again when school started, got stronger when basketball practice started in late fall and then intensified even more when the seedings were announced for the Morris County Girls Basketball Tournament.
Yes, Morristown was seeded No. 1. Yes, the Lady Colonials were the county coaches' choice to win the tournament.
Girls hoops? Morristown. Morristown. Morristown. Morris-town.
Morris Catholic was awarded the No. 3 seed, a high tribute indeed to the small-school program that had taken an 11-2 record into that seeding meeting.
Today, only the 11 has changed and Morris Catholic is making room for another championship banner on its gym wall after the Lady Crusaders defeated Morristown, 57-54, last Friday night at FDU-Madison to win the girls version of the MCT.
Score Last Six
The Lady Crusaders of coach John Olenowski have won 13 straight games since that seeding meeting, but none was as big as last Friday's when Morris Catholic (24-2) put on its best offensive and defensive faces in the last 2:18 of play to score the last six points of the game to turn a three-point deficit into a three-point victory.
A Heather Sargent basket had given the Lady Colonials a 54-51 lead when the scoring stopped for the top-seeded team.
Kayla Waite scored to pull the Lady Crusaders to within one point at 54-53 and then the senior co-captain stole the ball on Morristown's ensuing possession and passed off to a streaking Allison Dunn who scored on a layup to give the Morris Catholic a 55-54 lead.
This time it was Megan Olenowski who came up with the big steal, stripping the ball from Morristown's Jen Harris with 1:27 to play.
Morris Catholic went into a stall and Morristown was forced to foul in an attempt to get back the ball.
But precious time went off the clock as Morristown had to foul three times before they could put the Crusaders on the line.
When they did, Waite sank two free throws to give Morris Catholic the lead at 57-54 with 32 seconds remaining.
The Lady Colonials inbounded and called timeout with 20 seconds remaining. They ran a play designed to free up Harris for a 3-point shot, but Harris missed and time ran out on Morristown.
And on the notion that Morristown was going to win the tourney title.
Summer Talk
"That's all we heard since the beginning of the summer, that Morristown was going to win the county title," Olenowski was saying this past Sunday evening from his home in Denville, where a 19-pizza post-game party broke out after the team bussed back to Denville from Madison.
"We just told them to make as many pies as they could before they closed and get them over here as quickly as they could," Olenowski says with a laugh. "It was some party."
It was also some ball game, a game befitting of championship status.
The first period ended tied at 16 and Morris Catholic took a 28-26 halftime lead. Morristown (19-6) had a 17-11 edge in the third period to take a four-point lead into the final period.
The teams traded baskets for the most part until the Lady Crusaders pulled to within one on a 3-point shot by Mikey Kretzer, who led all scorers with 19 points and was named tourney MVP.
After Sargent's basket put the Morristown lead back to three points with 2:18 to play, Morris Catholic took over and scored the last six points of the game to win the third MCT title - and first since 1982 - in school history.
Kretzer, whose two free throws with 15 seconds to play beat Mountain Lakes, 53-51, in one of the semifinal games, scored 12 of her team-high 19 points on 3-point shots.
Allison Dunn has 13 points, Waite and Claire Wilson add 11 and Meredith Hall added 3 to round out the scoring.
For Morristown, Lindsay Litland had a game-high 22 points, Harris had 13, Sargent 10, Elisa Haggarty 7 and Danielle Hines had a field goal to complete the scoring.
Holding Harris, a 21 ppg scorer, to just 13 points was a key point in the victory.
The Lady Crusaders used a combination of their 1-3-1 zone and then switched to a diamond-and-one midway through the second quarter with Wilson, a freshman, assigned to cover Harris.
"Jen had scored 7 points on our 1-3-1 zone and Morristown was getting the ball inside to Litland without too much trouble, so we had to change," Olenowski says. "Claire did a nice job on Jen, holding her to six points the rest of the way, with four of those points coming on steals that led to breakaway layups.
"Claire did a super defensive job for us in keeping Jen way below her average."
Olenowski likes to talk about "team chemistry" and how well the girls play together when he discusses his team.
It's nice to hear, but the girls back up their coach's talk with their on-court play.
All five girls out on the court in the final two minutes of play had a hand in the deciding plays - on offense and defense.
Waite had three steals and four points - including the two free throws that iced the game - down the stretch.
Kretzer had "… a huge 3-point shot," to give the Lady Crusaders a 51-50 lead at one point. Allison Dunn gad the bucket that put Morris Catholic ahead for good and Olenowski had a big steal and Wilson completely shut down Harris in the final four minutes of play.
"One of the goals we had at the beginning of the season was to become the closest knit team in the state of New Jersey," Olenowski says. "We talk about being unselfish and it works … the girls don't care who scores or who gets the winning basket."
That was just one goal. The others were to win 20 games (done), win their conference (done), do well in the state tournament (pending) and … and … right - something about doing well in the county tournament.
Make that DONE!

Stunning Photorealism and Hyper-Realistic Pencil Portrait Drawings
Personally, I stare in awe when I see some of the stunning hyper-realism and photo-realistic pencil drawings some portrait artists create. I'm completed countless portrait drawings in graphite myself, but mine aren't even close to as detailed. I don't have as much time to devote to a single project as some artists, which is why I can appreciate the level of dedication for an exact likeness.
Some may be wondering – what's the difference between hyperrealism and photorealism? The answer deals with the photograph(s) used as reference. Photo realists either make an exact copy of a photograph, or make very effort to imitate the look of a photograph. Hyper realists, on the other hand, strive to create an artwork which appears more real than a single photograph. Some artists even use several photographs (with different exposures) of the same subject to add details not found in a single photograph.
Now that this is explained, take a look at some examples of some amazing realistic pencil portrait drawing, from Franco Clun, Kristy Griggs and more. Please show your appreciation for the talented artists by sharing this post!

"Kristy Griggs (1984) is a graphite artist and illustrator living in Sydney, Australia.

Drawing was one of her regular activities and required none of the matriarchal persuasion that practicing the piano did.
Kristy has since won a number of awards and commendations at both local and national levels. She is currently a freelancer and creates artwork in a range of styles, from hyperrealism to book illustration."

Chargers Dominate Cardinals 41-10
Although it came three games later than expected, the San Diego Chargers (2-2, 0-1 AFC West) were finally able to put together a complete game in the 41-10 dismantling of the Arizona Cardinals (2-2) in front of 62,189 fans on Sunday afternoon.
Philip Rivers continued his statistically impressive season, completing 15/20 passes for 241 yards and two touchdowns, while the defense sacked the Cardinals' quarterbacks nine times and allowed only three points. The biggest sigh of relief for Chargers fans, however, came with the performance of the special teams units.
Much will be said about the improved special teams coverage – I'll address it below– but kick coverage merely not giving the game away is not reason to celebrate. Or at least not yet.
The best news to take away from this game is that the Chargers once again have one of the most potent offenses in the National Football League despite all of the questions heading into the year.
LaDainian Tomlinson may be gone (and doing quite well for himself), but on Sunday Mike Tolbert was the first Charger to eclipse the century mark since 2008. He and rookie Ryan Mathews combined for 155 yards on 24 carries and two touchdowns.
Philip Rivers hasn't lost a step without Vincent Jackson, completing an obscene 75% of his passes to seven different receivers. Plus, until someone figures out how to cover Antonio Gates, it seems as if Rivers will be able to move the ball down field at will.
What impressed me most about the offense, however, was the effectiveness with which they moved the ball on first down. Picking up sizable yardage on first down opens the play book for Norv Turner and allows Rivers to take deep shots down field, the perfect example of which came on the Chargers first touchdown of the day.
After Mathews picked up seven yards on a first down carry, the Chargers faced second down and three – a short enough distance that Turner could let Rivers take a shot for the end zone and still face a manageable third down if the pass were to fall incomplete. But the combination of Gates' ability to get open and Rivers' accuracy on deep balls resulted in a 33-yard touchdown grab for the All-Pro tight end.
An offense that racks up yards on first down is one that will score a lot of points, just as the Chargers did on Sunday. Here is my account of how the Bolts did on first down on all nine offensive possessions orchestrated by Philip Rivers:
See the correlation? The Chargers averaged over seven yards on first down on 6 of their 8 (excluding a single carry to end the half) meaningful drives in the game, all of which resulted in points. San Diego finished the game averaging 6.37 yards on first down on the day – a surefire formula for success.
With such a powerful offense, the defense isn't required to do too much – yet this unit continues to make big time plays. Whether it was Derek Anderson or Max Hall under center for the Cardinals didn't matter – the opposing quarterback was under pressure all day and forced into careless mistakes.
On top of nine sacks, the defense forced three turnovers, scored once and forced a fumble on the 15 yard line that required only one Ryan Mathews carry from the offense to add seven more. The Bolts' defense alone outscored the Cardinals offense after holding them to 3 points that came on a Jay Feely 53 yard field goal.
It was, in fact, a defensive play that shifted momentum early in the game for the Chargers. Safety Steve Gregory responded to a Tim Hightower touchdown that was called back on a holding penalty by intercepting Derek Anderson and keeping the Cardinals off the board on the first drive.
It took Philip Rivers little time after that to find Antonio Gates in the end zone and jump out to a quick 7-0 lead. The Cardinals offense wouldn't get close to finding the end zone offensively again.
And with that, here are the other things that I liked (and even a few dislikes that I managed to muster up) following the rout of the Cardinals on Sunday:
What I liked, Besides Giving Up No Special Teams Touchdowns
Shaun Phillips
After Sunday's performance, maybe it's this Shaun that deserves to be the linebacker in the spotlight for San Diego. Phillips had a career day in every sense of the word, tallying six tackles, a mind-boggling four sacks and an interception that he returned 31 yards for a touchdown. Not much else needs to be said – he simply dominated.
Antonio Gates
It was another day at the office for Gates, and another monster performance. The tight end caught 7 balls for 144 yards (a 20.6 yard-per-catch average) and two scores. While much was said about his 500th career reception, it was Gates' 501st – a 26 yard touchdown grab - that gave the Chargers a 21-7 lead and effectively put the game away. Despite clearly being Rivers' most consistent receiving threat, Gates continues to thwart coverage schemes and get open. Perhaps more impressive than his stat line – every ball that Philip Rivers threw his way Gates came down with.
Directional Kicking
This was a quiet shift in the schematics of kickoff coverage that may otherwise have gone unnoticed. While kicker Nate Kaeding regularly puts the ball in one third of the field – usually outside the hash to the left or the right – on Sunday there was an added emphasis to his direction on kickoffs. All but one of Kaeding's kicks landed outside the numbers to the right, and the other was an attempted deep left that went out of bounds. Although he sacrificed overall distance, this ball placement effectively eliminates the possibility of a field return and forces the opposition up the sideline. It was a huge component to the improvements to this team witnessed on Sunday.
Points off Turnovers
The turnover battle is always a point of emphasis, and the Chargers won it this week by forcing three turnovers and only coughing up the rock once. While it's one thing to force a turnover, it's another to capitalize on it. San Diego did this to perfection, with each Cardinals turnover resulting in a touchdown for the Bolts.
Kevin Burnett
The sixth year linebacker may not be a household name for Chargers fans, but he played like one against Arizona. Burnett led the team in tackles with eight and also notched two sacks, one of which took the Cardinals out of field goal range in the first quarter when the game was still close.
What I Didn't Like, Besides Another Blackout
Ball Security
The lopsided final score will allow this bit to go relatively unnoticed, but fumblitis continues to plague the San Diego running backs this year. Ryan Mathews has two, Mike Tolbert one and Darren Sproles added his second of the year on Sunday. To make matters worse, Kerry Rhodes returned Sproles' fumble for a touchdown – the only time the Cardinals reached paydirt all day. They got away with it this week, but against a better team giving away a touchdown on offense can become a costly, costly mistake.
It's the tale of two teams for the Chargers, who apparently love the comfort of home but clam up away from the San Diego sunshine. The Bolts lead opponents 79-23 in two home victories this year, yet have fallen apart on the road in the losses at Kansas City and Seattle. I love the Chargers I see at Qualcomm Stadium, but good teams win on the road, plain and simple. They'll have a chance to change this this week with an important divisional game at Oakland.
Around the AFC West
With a Kansas City bye this weekend, San Diego gained ground in the division with a victory on Sunday. Unfortunately for Chargers fans, so did the Broncos (2-2, 0-0 AFC West) with an impressive win over Tennessee, 26-20. The Raiders, meanwhile, dropped to last place in the division with a 31-24 loss to Houston.
Grade the Chargers
Was the dismantling of a poor team enough to ease your concerns about this Chargers team, or do you expect the team's woes on the road to continue next week? Is this just another instance of a Norv Turner team taking September off, or will they drop below .500 again sometime this season? What did you like or not like from Sunday's performance? Chime in below.

Nice win- but the blackouts suck. There is a local pizza joint that carries the blackouts, but they show the Chargers games on an small tube TV while there are three other huge LCD TV's that show the other games with the obnoxious fans of the OTHER teams making too much noise to even hear the action of the Charger game.
To LT: Where was that kind of play the last couple of years you sellout!!

It's Not Goodbye (Part 2)
The next part of the story..
There was also a slight conflict between myself and Ivy. Last year, Ivy advised me to ask questions whenever I didn't understand a particular chapter of a school subject. I'm a very shy, quiet, timid person. I kept trying to break the force field of shyness away from myself, but somehow I failed to do so. As the final government examination was about to approach, I hardly improved or aced most of my subjects. That would be because I had lack of understanding. I knew she was hoping that I would pass the trial tests. I received a text message like as if she was giving me a cold shoulder. Her voice turned to the temperature of Artic ice. I was upset. I was afraid that our friendship would collapse into broken chandelier pieces. But then during a sex education seminar a few days later, Ivy greeted me with a friendly smile. I guessed the anger was erased away. Of course I was relieved.
Friends do fight or hurt each other feelings, but soon the pain will go away to mend the cracks of a broken heart.
As senior year ended, I was accepted to take one semester of Canada Pre-University program at Taylor's College, Kuala Lumpur. That psyched me and worried me at the same time. A new path to my future in Canada was opened to me, but what feared me was I might lose the bond with Ivy and the rest. The first day when I arrived at Kuala Lumpur, I suffered from homesickness. I even waited to receive a call or a text message from Ivy. And I did. She called me one afternoon as we talked for an hour. We had our usual text message conversations in the mornings. We also kept in touch on Facebook and Skype.
Six months later, I finished the semester and i went bonkers of going back home in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. I was excited as well to see my beloved friends. I made a bunch of new friends at Taylor's College, but my heart laid on the 7 auras. I seeked refuge with my family at home for more than a month, and involved myself in hangouts with my buddies during the weekends. But most of all, I was overjoyed to see Ivy's face once more with that emboldening smile of hers.

|Will the trend worsen global economic woes?
|by Sarah Glazer.
Nations around the globe worry that low or falling birthrates will cause severe economic problems, including shortages of workers to pay into social security systems to support growing numbers of retirees. While the coming retirement of American baby boomers engenders concern, the United States is exceptional among major industrialized Western nations because its birthrate produces enough children to maintain the population as elderly people die. Most of Europe as well as Japan and China are well below population replacement levels. The current global economic downturn could worsen the situation by forcing young couples to postpone having children until the economy improves. Meanwhile, governments are casting about for solutions, such as cutting spending on the elderly, requiring workers to stay on the job longer before drawing benefits and offering cash bonuses to families to encourage them to have more children.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, the Cleveland Cavaliers have some interest in former college coach and current NBA assistant Kelvin Sampson. As of right now, the Cavs are reportedly just doing some "fact-finding" on Sampson, and have not yet zeroed in on Sampson as their next head coach.
LeBron James beautifully pass-fakes, makes layup in transition (video)
LeBron James is a treasure.
Shaquille O'Neal's big toe is seriously jacked up (PHOTO)
Remember how we we all freaked out when we saw pictures of LeBron James' feet back in 2013?
You probably didn't want to be reminded that it existed, but it does. Still. And apparently jacked up feet is the consequence of a lifetime of playing professional basketball. Once can only assume it has something to do with tight shoes and constant, hard changes of direction in said tight shoes.
We got yet another vision of what basketball shoes can do to feet on Thursday when TNT analyst Shaquille O'Neal showed off his, er, little piggies.
Much to the horror of the Internet in general, it was Shaq's right big toe that took social media by storm. Mostly because it's not even close to pointing in the right direction.
I'm going to show you what it looks like. Be forewarned, it might just be NSFL.
Via Twitter:
Oh. Oh … why?
Social media reacted appropriately and proportionately:
Shaq did have issues with that toe during the course of his career, and at one point it was so bad that he had to have surgery to remove bone spurs from the toe in 2002.
That still doesn't explain why it's all over your TV and the Internet, but here we are. I am sorry.
Warriors' JaVale McGee sued by former landlord, agrees to pay $9,350 in 'cat-related fees'
What is illicit cat possession, you might ask?
Let's explain by using a practical example involving Golden State Warriors big man JaVale McGee.
According to a report by Patrick Redford over at Deadspin, McGee was not allowed to keep his cat, Raja, in his apartment when he was a member of the Dallas Mavericks. He also is alleged to have caused other damages to the apartment, furniture, and flooring.
Via Deadspin:
All in all, he agreed to pay for all the late and unpaid rent he owed, $12,000 in repairs, as well as $9,350 in cat-related fees. Subtracting his security deposit and tacking on an extra $10,000 for legal fees that Johnson requested, McGee agreed to pay $26,000. He submitted a petition to confess judgment yesterday.
Seems illicit enough.
Long live Raja. He seems cool and worth the $9,350 in cat-related fees.
No motivational material: LeBron James, Cavaliers respectful when asked about Warriors
The rubber match. The trilogy. Whatever you want to call the historic third meeting between the Cavaliers and Warriors in the Finals — never in NBA history have two teams met three years in a row in the Finals — it's what fans have been waiting for. The inevitability of this Finals matchup sucked some of the drama and fun out of the postseason so far, but now these two teams are ready to go.
It's the best rivalry in the NBA, two teams not afraid to mix it up with each other, but when Cavaliers players were asked about the Warriors after eliminating the Celtics Thursday night, there was nothing but respect.
"We just got to play defense," LeBron James said in a televised postgame interview. "We're going to face adversity. That's been the best team in our league the last three years, and they added an unbelievable player in Kevin Durant this year, so that makes it even more difficult. So they're gonna challenge us a lot: offensively, defensively, mentally, physically, but we're going to have to be ready for that challenge."
LeBron stuck to that theme in his postgame press conference.
"I'll be honest, I'm not really in the right mind to even talk about Golden State right now. It's too stressful, and I'm not stressed right now," LeBron said cracking a smile. "Golden State, they've been the best team in our league the last three years, then they added an MVP. That's all I can give you right now, because I'm happy and I don't want a lot of stress, and they cause a lot of stress."
Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said he had yet to start any prep for the Warriors.
"Of course I watch every game, because I'm a basketball junkie, and they've been playing great," Lue siad. "But you can't get too far ahead of yourself."
"The Celtics and Brad Stevens, the team they have, they throw a lot of different lineups at you and a lot of different stuff on the offensive end, so as far as how they play I think it definitely prepared us for what's ahead," Kevin Love said, discussing how the Celtics prepped the Cavaliers for the next round.
The Cavaliers are veterans on this stage, and they both respect the Warriors and don't need the distraction of a war of words, so they stayed on message all night.
But with a week to go before Game 1, you can bet someone will say something inflammatory. We're looking at you, Draymond Green.

Christine Taylor - 'Zoolander 2' World Premiere at Alice Tully Hall - Arrivals - New York, New York, United States - Tuesday 9th February 2016
Though Derek and Hansel have left the world of fashion modelling behind them, a part of both of them still has the wish to return to the stage and once again be crowned as the king of the runway. When some of the world's most famous celebrities are found murdered (all of whom have died pulling Derek's trademark Blue Steel pout) Interpol decide to recruit the two fashion veterans in a bid to infiltrate the current world of modelling - an industry that's evolved beyond the one they were originally accustom to.

Christine Taylor - Zoolander No. 2 Premiere at the Empire, Leicester Square in London, England. 4th February 2016. - London, United Kingdom - Friday 5th February 2016
Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson , Christine Taylor - The Fashionable Screening of 'Zoolander No.2' held at the Empire Leicester Square - Arrivals at Empire Leicester Square - London, United Kingdom - Thursday 4th February 2016
Derek, Hansel and some other familiar faces are back in Zoolander 2! After offering their services to 'The Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too' Derek and Hansel find themselves pining for a time when they were the biggest names in fashion. Only a few years might've past but the fashion industry is a very different place and one that's left them FAR behind.
When an Interpol agent finds a unique pattern to a series of deaths - some of the world's most beautiful people - she knows that Derek Zoolander is the only one who can help catch the killer. Pop stars including Demi Lovato and Lenny Kravitz have all been found dead with a certain look alluding to Blue Steel on their face.
Zoolander 2 is the follow up to the 2001 film and it once again sees Stiller team up with Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell. The film was written by Ben Stiller and Justin Theroux and will be released in cinemas from February 2016.
Ella Olivia Stiller, Christine Taylor, Christopher Jackson , Ben Stiller - Backstage visit at the Broadway musical Hamilton at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. at Richard Rodgers Theatre, - New York City, New York, United States - Friday 11th September 2015
After a disastrous return to the fashion industry following his retirement, which almost ended in the death of the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Derek Zoolander is once again ready to make a comeback. This time he has his former rival turned best friend Hansel by his side, and a better reputation after he exposed the evil behind the fashion industry and went on to work with children. Life may be good; he has a wife and son, and a bucket load of runway talent; but things are about to get messy once again. Derek and Hansel aren't as relevent as they used to be in the industry, and their careers face series threats when it becomes clear that a rival organisation is planning to take down their new modelling agency. Can the duo save the day once again? Or will they be forced to give up the strut for good?
Continue: Zoolander 2 - Teaser Trailer
The sequel to the 2001comedy is due out in February.
The first teaser trailer for Zoolander 2 has leaked online and let's just say it's really, really good-looking. In the two minute clip we're taken on a dark journey inside the mind of male model Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller) who also poses one of life's greatest questions, "If God exists, then why did he make ugly people?"
Ben Stiller is reprising his role as the male model in Zoolander 2.
The trailer is narrated by a Stephen Hawking-esque voiceover who charts the history of the universe and mankind, before going deep inside the brain of Derek. Inside the model's mind there many special nods to the first film for fans to look out for including a wind-up toy monkey, a mer-man and a dictionary definition of 'eugoogly'.

Much like Derek, Zoolander is a sweet simpleton of a movie. It's not complex in either its social commentary or its comedy, and it never produces any gut-busting laughs (except maybe a scene when Derek's model roommates all die in a tragic "gasoline fight" accident -- a riotously funny take-off of Tommy Hilfiger ads). But it has a satisfying handful of strong chuckles, wild characters and performances, and mildly harsh potshots at the fashion industry to keep you amused. Better yet, this exaggerated version of the original three-minute skit is only blown out to an efficient 95 minutes -- just enough time to string together its goofball plot without exhausting the gag.
Continue reading: Zoolander Review
The Brady Sequel gets a lot raunchier, too, with a major subplot about Greg and Marcia's seemingly inappropriate budding love affair, and plenty of innuendo outside of that. The primary plot concerns a stolen artifact, which just so happens to be residing in the Brady residence. When Carol's first husband Roy (Tim Matheson), presumed dead, shows up looking for it, havoc breaks loose. Turns out he's a thief and will do anything to get it; along the way he fiddles with that old-fashioned Brady do-gooder spirit, telling Peter he has to "lie, cheat, steal, or kill" in order to make it in "the big house."

Can somebody please stop Ben Stiller?
Since becoming a box-office draw with "There's Something About Mary," the guy has been a horrendous ham, devouring scenery with an eye-bugging, eyebrow-stitching schtick so stale and predictable that his last dozen movies have all included the same gag: slow-motion scenes of Stiller madly mugging while dancing, or running, or playing the titular game of schoolyard pain and humiliation in "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story."
The only variation in his on-screen persona is that sometimes he's an irritatingly neurotic, hapless chump ("Along Came Polly," "Envy," "Meet the Parents") and other times he's an irritatingly arrogant, mock-sexy-pouting, self-obsessed moron ("Starsky & Hutch," "Zoolander").

Man Stabbed In Parking Lot During San Diego Chargers Game Last Night
A man was stabbed in the parking lot outside Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego during the Chargers vs. Oakland Raiders game last night, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune.
According to San Diego police, the stabbing occurred during a fight near the front gate at about 7:30 p.m. The victim was stabbed in the abdomen, however reports say the injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Police told the Union-Tribune that the victim was uncooperative with authorities, and would not give them a description of the attackers. The attack strikes an eerily similar tone to the one that occurred in April when San Francisco Giants fan Brian Stow was jumped outside of a Los Angeles Dodgers game on opening day.

Exeter went to Spotland looking for back-to-back victories following their hard earned 3-0 triumph over Leyton Orient in their courageous attempt to avoid the plunge into League Two.
The City faithful made the long trip to a cold and windy northeast to witness what was potentially a relegation decider for both clubs.
Exeter started the brighter of the two sides, applying the pressure early on. The travelling fans rallied the team on but it was Rochdale that had the first real effort of the match with Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro's effort from outside the box going just wide of the goal.
Exeter then had chances of their own with both Daniel Nardiello and Liam Sercombe having trying their luck from long range.
The dominating opening continued with Troy Archibald-Henville's potential goal-scoring header being blocked by Rochdale's Matthew Edwards after a Billy Jones in-swinging corner.
Akpa-Akpro was a threat to the Exeter goalmouth yet again with a right-footed shot from close range in a rare Rochdale attack.
Exeter were quick to respond with Alan Gow producing a left-footed shot from just outside the box that went wide left of the target.
Exeter maintained the pressure with some very slick and simple passing movements that unravelled the Rochdale defence leading to Akpa-Akpro conceding a penalty for a foul on Nardiello on 27 minutes.
The Welshman stepped up and calmly slotted the ball passed Matt Edwards in the Rochdale goal, much to the delight of the Exeter fans.
With the travelling support in good voice, Exeter played a game of pinball with shots from David Noble and James Dunne being inadvertently blocked by Gow and Jake Taylor respectively.
Exeter maintained the pressure for the remainder of an entertaining first half with only the occasional flutter from Andrew Tutte to potentially worry Artur Krysiak's goal.
Rochdale started the second half brighter than the first but still weren't able to break the spirit of the Exeter squad.
City sustained their passing mentality, creating some fine passages of play but with no end product until the 62nd minute when Liam Sercombe scored what will be a contender for team goal of the season.
Exeter passed the ball freely around the field of play creating an opening to allow Gow to set Taylor free near the corner flag. He picked out the onrushing Sercombe alone on the edge of the box to tap the ball home.
Exeter continued to drive forward as they looked to extend their lead and rare Rochdale touches were ironically cheered by the home support.
The next chance of the match fell to arguably Exeter's man of the match Sercombe who came close with a decent effort which was stopped by the Rochdale goalkeeper.
Tisdale then introduced Fulham loanee Lauri Dalla Valle for Nardiello on 74 minutes.
Rochdale slowly got themselves back into the game and looked more likely to get back into the game. And they did exactly that on 78 minutes when some sloppy Exeter defending lead to Nicky Adams scoring from the edge of the penalty area, placing the ball low into the middle of the goal.
In two minutes of madness, Joe Simpson then found the bottom left hand corner from just inside the penalty area to make it 2-2.
With the 1,930 home crowd now behind them the Dale surged forward looking for the winner with Akpa Akpro's once again hitting the woodwork.
Tisdale then put veteran striker Jamie Cureton on as a last ditch effort to salvage the game but Rochdale looked the more likely side to score in the closing moments.
Rochdale piled on the pressure and unbelievably grabbed a winner with just three minutes to go, Jason Kennedy's low finish beating Krysiak from close range.
The match finished 3-2 to the Dale to leave Exeter eight points from safety with 9 points left to play for.
Is the dream still alive? Probably not. But the Grecians know that the great support that they received today will follow them into next season, regardless of which league they are playing in.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I'm in the exact same boat as you claretdebs. However, what i have found is the following.
For a week or so, just do 30 min-1 hour walks, varying your pace. Walk over rough terrain if possible such as woodland or fields.
After a week or so, start the couch to 5k program, but modify it. Instead of the 1 min jogs, then 90 sec walks, do 30 sec jog, 2 min walks. Do this until your endurance improves enough for you to start on the plan properly. It might take a week or two, it might take a month. All the while though, your endurance is improving and increasing.
While you are doing this, change your diet so you start losing weight purely through that. From then on, things should slowly start falling in place.
Hi Clare
I'm am also just starting out (been doing this for just two weeks). My plan is to doing "Brisk Walking" for a couple more week, then if I feel ready I will start on the C25K program and work through that.
But I have already decided if I need to I will re-do every week of the plan so I don't over do things or push myself to fast.
as well as all the good advice above i would also recommend buying or borrowing (your library may have it) Bruce Tulloh's book 'running over forty' (don't worry if you are not, its suitable for all!) as it suggests a 2 - 4 week walking program before even thinking about running, then the walk/run program takes you really slowly into running.
time out on your feet is more important than actual running at this stage
DO NOT beat yourself up for not being able to do what you think you ought to do!
as M..eldy says go at your pace not anyone elses - you will get there - enjoy the journey and celebrate every little bit of improvement (e.g today i walked 5 mins more than last time!)
good luck on your journey
Most folk can't just go out and "run". It takes practise, and everyone is/ was at where you are now. There is excellent advice on this thread already, so I will try not to repeat it (but probably will!)
Do you run on your own? If so, try and get some one who can go out with you, it will help... it will motivate you too. Go at the slowest pace of the two of you.
Couch25k.... definitely. This will give you little goals to achieve each week. By the end of the programme, you will also be able to see how far you have come. Keep a record of what you have done each session, so you can look back and measure your success.
Balanced diet... yes... and use this in conjunction with the running. The latter does not mean you can eat what you want! Get the weight off in a sensible manner. Running + sensible diet will work!
Dont be worried about taking walking breaks, its all part and parcel of you learning to run. Once you get a lttle fitter, bit less weight, you will find that you can natually run for a longer period.
Above all, enjoy what you are doing. You have made the decision to run, and lose weight, just do it!, and glow in your successes!
I've lost 3 stone in 4 months by joining WeightWatchers online and running. Chose whatever method you find best but try to just eat sensibly have lots of fresh fruit around...

After reading this, have just picked up a 2nd hand copy on Amazon for the vast sum of 12pence plus £2.80 PnP.
Makes me one happy little (ok not so little) plodder

Cool, its a good book! ol' brucey knows what he is talking about
Debbi - if it helps, I was exactly where you were six months ago. I started walking and swimming first - going from 10 laps gradually up to 50 laps in the pool of breaststroke, which really helped with my cardiovascular fitness. I did a 5k in 30:20 last weekend and a 5 mile run (slowly!) and have lost 18 lbs so far. It's totally doable, but I'd definitely recommend something a little lower impact that will give you a great workout before starting the C25k programme. I swam for about three months, with walking, before starting it and ended up finishing it in 6 weeks because my body had gotten used to exercise. I only swim once a fortnight or so now, running's definitely my main workout, but it really helped get me from A to running B (and is nice for recovery when I'm achy from doing a long run!) Good luck! If I can do it really - anyone can!! x
Hey Debbi - if you have a look through some of the other beginner threads on here, you'll see that some people couldn't even jog for 30 seconds to begin with! So yeah, going at whatever pace is right for you is perfectly fine. Agree with some of the others that a few weeks of brisk walking would be a good way to start, but if you're already jog/walking, well done! Understand why you want to do it alone, but I'd say if you've got a lovely son who's encouraging you and is happy to go running with his mum, he's obviously a total gem as loads of kids wouldn't be seen dead out running with their parents, so think about going out with him even once a week, so he can see how you're improving. Bet he'll give you loads of praise and encouragement to keep you motivated. Keep at it and you'll get there in the end...
