I Cannot Be a Feminist
I will always be pro-woman
Being the eldest of three boys with a single mom struggling to survive, I know what it means to be for the empowerment of women.
The woman is beautiful and unique. She is powerful. She incubates and delivers life. Her pain, her joy, her emotions are better expressed across the full spectrum that are feelings. She is a fierce protector, a gentle comforter, and even in all her complexity, she shows mankind simplicity.
There can be no doubt that women face structural challenges in all present societies, especially in the workplace. Recognizing this is a first step, but those who don't, should not be labeled haters.
There are things we can do to make things more fair; more merit-based. That doesn't mean that every piece of legislation that's paraded around with lipstick should be supported.
Structural challenges in society also face the black, the yellow, the albino, the fat, the too-skinny, the person of faith, the repented felon, the southerner. Burdens exist because we are human. Burdens should not define our humanity nor our gender. And gender is a very real thing.
Talking to a feminist recently (a friend of many years), she was taken aback when I said to her that "I am pro-women's empowerment. I am not and will never be a feminist." She laughed. Of course she did. I simply didn't understand.
She explained to me what I already knew: the title feminist is gender-neutral. Blah blah blah. A feminist is defined as someone who believes in the equality of the genders. Blah blah blah. Then I laughed. I already knew all of this.
Feminists do not believe in the equality between the genders, not alone anyway. These fringe activists believe in degrading men until they've received reparations and only then, can equality be achieved. They've mainstreamed their titles so artsy celebrities and coastal elitists adopt the title too. 'Hi, I'm Dr. John Doe (Feminist-at-large), because… equality.'
See, the feminist believes that in tearing down men, the irreplaceability of fatherhood, male bosses, and the dissolution of any separation (or recognition) between the genders, they'll somehow establish equality.
Mandela, Ghandi, and King taught reconciliation accomplishes equality. Feminists teach what the communist Chinese regime did: reeducation. If only you knew what I know. Think what I think and everything will be better.
My friend was shocked that I was familiar with all the talking points.
"Education always works. There must be something wrong—some right-wing bias," she probably thought to herself. Conformity in language, social theories, all seem to surround feminism.
Feminism, as a belief, must stand on its own. And it must be held to account for all of its work. It cannot be supported because it sounds emphatic or has the right definition in the dictionary. Every revolutionary dictator renames his country to something that sounds pretty.
The feminist proudly touts their "slutwalk" protest while shouting to us about their latest gospel, rape culture. Did you know that men are the greatest perpetrators of rape culture? Apparently, according to feminists, explaining the circumstances around a rape or considering measures that would reduce rape actually contribute to more rape.
Rape is evil! Every reasonable person believes this. But not according to the feminist.
This has nothing to do with empowering women. When I think about my mom and growing up, none of this comes to mind. In fact, it's pretty insulting.
I will still throw my annual party celebrating women in D.C. I will always believe that I was extremely blessed to grow up in a home with a proud single-mother. Everything about the tolerance and perseverance of women will continue to amaze me. In America, women outnumber their male counterparts at the ballot box and in raw population. That's not a bad thing at all. The woman will continue to be celebrated, without needing to tear down men to do so.
My friend protested when I explained to her that feminists tear down men to make themselves equal, which not only makes the man a legitimate victim but also makes the argument extremely dangerous for women as it implies they are not capable.
If my evidence is flawed, why am I paying for birth control pills and mammograms under any health care insurance plan I select as required by the new healthcare mandate?

I dont really want to upgrade to a wordpress.org blog at the moment so ill stick it out and use the pages option instead
There are many themes that do have footer widgets areas. See here > Sidebars and other widget areas: number and position
As another possible option, what about putting information like that in a text widget near the bottom of the sidebar? That's where the normal credits appear in the Fruit Shake theme anyway.

"Pretty Little Liars" Star Lucy Hale Helps Design Carefree Hollister Collection
Photo: Hollister
Lucy Hale's character on ABC Family's "Pretty Little Liars," Aria, is arguably the most fashion forward of the group, and now she's taking that passion for fashion and channeling it into her real life via a collection she helped design for Hollister, the California-based retailer owned by Abercrombie & Fitch.
"I definitely lean more towards a laid-back look, which makes my style a great match for Hollister. I wanted to create carefree outfits that effortlessly transition from a coffee run to going out," said Hale to Women's Wear Daily about the collection, which hits stores on August 8 with prices ranging from $19.95 to $44.95. Below are two examples from the collection, which will include dresses, leggings, skirts, and tops.
Photo: Hollister
This SoCal-inspired collection marks the first celebrity collaboration for Hollister, and the first design effort for Hale, who, besides being a bona fide teen queen thanks to PLL, is also a country music musician.
For day to day life, Lucy Hale's style matches the California lifestyle–easy and laid back–but for the red carpet she certainly knows how to pull out all the stops. Click through to the next few pages for a few of our favorite standout style moments from Lucy Hale!

Lancashrie's teacher's say they are "very worried" about the implications of plans to introduce performance related pay.
The move, approved by Education secretary Michael Gove, is due to come into force from September and will see headteachers deciding who to award pay rises to.
The current national pay scheme will be scrapped and both the National Union of Teachers and National Association of Schoolmasters' Union of Women Teachers have warned that they could take industrial action over the plans.
The National Association of Headteachers has welcomed more flexibility in setting salary rises but heads are worried about the extra pressure on them and the derision it could cause in staff rooms.
Preston headteacher and national executive member David Fann said he was very concerned that some schools could use the new 'power' as an excuse to reduce costs by employing cheaper, less qualified staff.
Mr Fann said: "There is potential for enormous problems, pitting teacher against teacher and school against school. And, here is the potential for schools to employ less experienced staff. Heads will be looking at quantity rather than quality."
The Sherwood School head said he was very worried about quality of staff.

I should first say that I have nothing against nature, forests, and all that other good ecological stuff. Hey, plants keep us alive, right? It just so happens that whenever someone attempts to make a movie about how nature is good and how man is inherently evil since all they want to do is destroy nature, I tend to snooze. I can't help myself. The whole subject is so biased against the presence of humans that I feel like I'm part of the problem just by being alive.
"Princess Mononoke" is a Japanese animation that utilizes traditional cell animation and is written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, the man responsible for "My Neighbor Totoro", one of my all-time favorite films, animation or otherwise. While "Mononoke" shares some familiar themes with "Totoro", most notably the worship of nature as a living entity, "Mononoke" is quite violent. Despite its very grown up vision of the world through the eyes of two young girls, "Totoro" was a cutesy film at heart. "Mononoke" on the other hand is a full-blown action adventure film mixed in with talking animals, celestial beings that take the form of deers, and a very bloody war between humans and animals and all beings in-between.
The film opens with Ashitaka, a prince in a small village in the countryside, being cursed by a demon-possessed wild boar. Ashitaka leaves his village and journeys to the source of the curse, where he encounters the (improbably) thickheaded Lady Eboshi (voiced by Minnie Driver). Eboshi has brought a small army of gunmen to the Japanese countryside to clear out the animals and the Gods, to burn down the forest, and to dig up ore to make more guns. And she'll kill anyone and everyone who gets in her way.
By the simple fact that she's willing to wipe out all of nature to mine her precious ore, Eboshi is at war with the forest's inhabitants, led by San (the Princess Mononoke of the title), who was raised by wolves as a child and is now their leader. Into the fray walks Ashitaka, who brings with him his curse, impressive skills with an arrow, and enough ignorance, naivet', and a general lack of intelligence to make a male supermodel blush.
If it sounds like I don't appreciate the movie's themes of humanity and its role in regards to nature, you'd be wrong. I also appreciated the fact that Miyazaki avoids making Eboshi and Jigo (voiced by Billy Bob Thornton) cartoonish bad guys, but instead treat them like multi-faceted people. Although there is a sense that, in an effort to rid his movie of any obvious villains, the film fails to convince us who we should be rooting for.
"Mononoke" is surprisingly quite impressive in its English dubbing, and I can safely say this is the best Japanese to English translation of a Japanimation I have seen, period. The voice actors all have impressive credentials, which allow them to skip the pitfall of bad English dubs that so many Japanimation become victims off. (The horrible dubbing for "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust", where English actors read their lines as if there were no punctuations in the script, comes to mind.)
"Princess Mononoke" has some impressive art and something is always happening within the frame to keep us interested. Unfortunately the movie is not entirely engaging, and its characters never go through any changes, leaving us to wonder what all of this was for in the first place.
In fact, there are no character arcs to be found anywhere within "Mononoke." Eboshi, for instance, first appears as a woman who nonchalantly rapes the land and murders the beasts, and ends the same way. Her character is a role model for everyone within the movie, including the vapid Ashitaka, who is incapable of making one single intelligent decision. The kid is just, well, not all that bright. Which, incidentally, also describes the movie.

Slipping through the cracks: The work of Edhi Foundation Pakistan
An unclaimed, and unidentified body of a young girl at an Edhi morgue facility in Karachi...The Edhi foundation morgue facility in Karachi sometimes receives around 30-50 deceased persons on a daily basis. the are kept in cold storage facilities for 3-4 days until they are either claimed by relatives of released for burial. Most are homeless or poor people whilst others victims of the many fatal road traffic accidents that occur in the city on a daily basis...In a country of some 160 million people, affordable medicines and diagnostic tests are beyond the reach of most people in Pakistan. The country suffers from shortage of doctors and government funded healthcare facilities; to many on low income levels, basic health care is a luxury. The rich and middle class get the best treatment whilst the poor reply on the work of a welfare trust by the name Edhi Foundation. ..The Edhi foundation was established by Abdul Sattar Edhi. Born in a small Indian own of Bantva in the province of Gujrat he migrated to Pakistan during partition in 1947. After working as a commissioning agent selling cloth in a market in Karachi Abdul Sattar Edhi and other members of his community decided to establish a free dispensary in the city.

Pirates hope to turn tables on Indians
By John Barone / MLB.com
Even at the expense of the Pirates.
Cleveland's 4-3 victory at PNC Park on Friday night snapped a four-game losing streak and extended Pittsburgh's skid to 12 games, the Pirates' longest stretch of winless futility since 2006.
Pirates manager John Russell had hoped a visit from the Indians would propel his club back to winning ways.
So far, not so good.
"It's one of those situations where, if we can get the ball to bounce our way or get that big hit, it will kind of open things up and let them relax and have some fun," Russell said. "We're trying to push everything behind us. This is a clean start, a new series.
"We just need to go out, execute and play well. Good things can happen when you start doing that."
But manager Manny Acta's Indians won't be throwing any pity parties for the Pirates this weekend. Frankly, Cleveland doesn't view itself as a clear superior to the Pirates.
"We had our own four-game losing streak going," Acta said. "At some point they had to be playing well, because they have lost [12] in a row and we only have [three] more wins than they do," Acta said. "We just want to win and get back into a nice groove.
"We know that anybody can beat anybody on any given day. Those guys are talented, too."
David Huff will start for Cleveland on Saturday. He allowed six runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings last time out against the Nationals. Jeff Karstens will start for Pittsburgh. He allowed two runs on six hits in seven innings last time out against Detroit.
Indians: Organization leads in Minor League wins
Cleveland's player development system ranks second among Major League organizations with a 160-119 record, trailing only San Francisco. ... Reliever Frank Herrmann has tossed 6 1/3 shutout innings over seven appearances since being called up from Triple-A Columbus on June 4. ... Fifteen of the Indians' 26 wins this season have been comeback victories.
Pirates: Ceremony will honor 1960 team on Saturday
The Pirates will honor the 50th anniversary of their 1960 World Series championship team Saturday in a pregame ceremony at PNC Park. Former players expected to attend include Joe Christopher, ElRoy Face, Dick Groat, Vernon Law, Bob Oldis, Dick Schofield and Bob Skinner. ... Right-hander Evan Meek's 0.70 ERA leads Major League relievers who have logged at least 30 innings this season. ... First baseman Steve Pearce, on the disabled list with a right ankle sprain, went 1-for-3 with an RBI double in a rehab appearance for Class A Bradenton on Thursday.
Worth noting
The Indians on Friday traded Minor League catcher Adam Davis to the Pirates for cash considerations. Davis hit a combined .216 (21-for-97) with three home runs and eight RBIs in 31 games between Class A Kinston and Double-A Akron. ... Pittsburgh has won nine of its past 12 home games against Cleveland. ... The Tribe has not won a series in the Steel City since 1997.

ONE of the stars of Nottingham city centre's spectacular Christmas lights switch-on was a talented teenage singer who hails from Hucknall.
Thousands of revellers got into the festive spirit as Nottingham was transformed into a winter wonderland with twinkling fairy lights and the Old Market Square became a festive market.
One of the acts was the singer Sophie Debattista (pictured), who shone on the Capital FM stage.
The 18-year-old Anglo/Maltese performer, who represented Malta in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest at the age of 12, has been touring the UK over the summer and is continuing with a mini-Christmas tour promoting her new single 'Sunny'. Her mum's family has roots in Hucknall.
This latest record is a remake of the Bobby Hebb classic and is released on Sunday December 9 through Absolute Marketing/Universal Music.
After a summer performing at festivals in London, Manchester and Norwich, this is the closest Sophie has been to her Hucknall roots for some time.
This year's switch-on event was attended by the Lord Mayor of Nottingham, Coun Mick Wildgust (Lab), who lives in Bulwell.
As well as Sophie to keep the crowds entertained, there was street performers including panto characters, break dancing Santas and the Lost Elves complete with Rudolf the Reindeer. The Nottingham Jazz Ensemble and Nottingham Music School also performed.

Foreign objects in orifices a bigger killer than laptops
Notebooks safer than bees - it's official
If you're worried about the prospect of dying at the hands of a flaming laptop battery while travelling, relax.
It's far more likely you'll be killed by a firework, non-venomous insect, "legal intervention" or a foreign object in a natural orifice.
Computerworld has kindly combed through Federal Aviation AUthority data to declare that between March 1991 and September 2009, there were a grand total of 109 incidences of batteries on planes exploding, enflaming or just plain smoking.
This resulted in 51 injuries - or one lap for every two incidents - and one death. The death - and 13 other injuries - resulted from a single incident, when a Taiwanese plane exploded on landing, after gasoline from a canister in a luggage locker was inflamed by sparks from a nearby motorcycle battery. See, the figures don't just cover notebook batteries.
And, the story adds, most of the injuries were inflicted on baggage staff, not air crew or passengers.
However, one might be forgiven for thinking the proliferation of notebooks could be causing an increase in the number of incidents - there nine in 2008. That year, CW says, 2.2 billion Li batteries took flights.
However, the figures suggest that cordless drills and other power tools were the single biggest culprit, followed by flashlights.
This should be some comfort to regular road warriors - and the unfortunate people who have to sit next to them.
However, the truly cautious would be advised to avoid pretty much everything else. US figures quoted by ComputerWorld show motor vehicle accidents killed 48,412 people in the states in 2006, while 655 deaths were classed as "air and space transport accidents."
Bees, hornets and wasps iced 61 people. Non-venomous insects and other arthropods accounted for seven unfortunate souls, while fireworks took care of another eight.
A terrifying thirty were despatched by a "Foreign body entering through skin or natural orifice".
And 360 were taken care of by "legal intervention involving firearm discharge". ®

I've been in a sewing mood lately. Last week I posted my ruffled dish towels and my little pleated purse and I just couldn't stop there. I found this shirring tutorial over at Portobello Pixie and could not believe how easy it looked. And it was!!
First let me back up. For those of you who don't know what shirring is, here's a picture (image from Craft Gossip). I'm saying that because I had NO IDEA what in the world shirring was until I ran across a post about it (I wish I could remember where so Icould link up to it. They linked up to Portobello Pixie's tutorial and that's how I found it). Sigh. Anyhow……here's the picture.
Loving to try something new, I decided to go for it. I picked up my handy dandy supplies from Hobby Lobby: fabric, elastic thread and regular thread. To my delight, I banged out one little dress in about an hour or so. Having 2 very competive daughters, of course I had to make another. I did take some progress pics but my camera battery pooped out on me so I took a few pics with my cell phone and all I got was the finished products.
Not too bad for my first attempt at a dress. I think I'll make myself a shirt next. 🙂
I'm linking up to my favorite LINKY PARTIES. Make sure you check them out. You never know who you'll find. 🙂
Don't forget about New Friend Friday tomorrow!
I probably won't get around to Readers Rock this weekend. I'm the Matron of Honor tomorrow night in my sister's wedding and will be traveling. 🙂

Woodbury senior honored by St. Paul Winter Carnival
When Woodbury resident Mary Severson first moved to Minnesota from Florida in 2003 she was looking for something to occupy her time.
"I thought I was going to need some new excitement," she said.
Severson found just that in the form of the St. Paul Winter Carnival Senior Royalty.
Severson served as the Princess of the Four Winds.
Now 10 years later, Severson has added another St. Paul Winter Carnival title to her resume -- Nathanial L. Hardy Award recipient.
Severson received the award for her outstanding volunteerism with the Senior Royalty.
"I was shocked to death - I was awe struck," Severson said. "It was just a beautiful surprise.
"I just happened to be the most unworthy person to receive it."
Every year the St. Paul Winter Carnival selects three men and three women to represent the senior citizens of St. Paul throughout the coming year as the Senior Royalty.
The Senior Royalty makes appearances throughout the year at parades, community celebrations, nursing homes, senior citizen centers, hospitals and schools.
During her time as the Princess of the Four Winds, and as a volunteer with the Senior Royalty, Severson would visit various locations.
Severson said her primary role would be to perform with her accordion.
"I never felt that I did enough, but I guess the music and the playing for people is the biggest things," she said. "Seniors are pretty important and sometimes left out of things, so, if I can bring any joy that's what I'm going to do.
"I felt this was my thing."

Jazz is a part of Kansas City much as giving back to the community is ingrained in the tradition of Southminster Church.
Tim Whitmer and the KC Express will play at the church at 4-6 p.m. Nov. 24, the latest offering in Southminster's concert series.
The event at the church at 63rd Street and Roe Avenue will be free and open to the public.
Whitmer, a jazz pianist, and his quintet, the KC Express, will play in Southminster's sanctuary where the acoustics are marvelous for the church's Casavant pipe organ, choral groups and a wide variety of other music, said Jeff Clayton, Southminster's senior pastor.
Jazz was introduced into the lineup of the music series only after Southminster had offered the concerts for years. It's proven to be a popular addition.
"I see it as part of the cultural legacy of Kansas City," Clayton said.
The jazz concerts also have been appreciated by the musicians, who sometimes encounter challenges in finding a good venue and an attentive audience, Clayton said.
"These incredibly talented people have a hard time getting their music out there," Clayton said.
Past performers in the series have included, Angela Hagenbach, Joe Cartwright, Stan Kessler and the Johnson County Community College Jazz Ensemble.
Whitmer and the KC Express are known for building upon the great tradition of Kansas City jazz with an inventive treatment of standards and fanciful original compositions.
Southminster's members long have viewed the free concert series as a way to share their building and love of music with artists and others, Clayton said. They very much are intended as a gift to the musicians and the wider community.
So, if you like good music and are free Nov. 24, Clayton and other members of the Southminster community hope you'll stop by.
You are welcome at Southminster. Please visit us at our church for this concert, or for one of our Sunday worship services. You can learn more about us at https://southminsterpres.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland - Iceland authorities say there's been a small fissure eruption near Bardarbunga volcano, but no volcanic ash has been detected by the radar system.
The eruption took place early Friday morning in the Holuhraun lava field, north of Dyngjujökull glacier, Iceland's Meteorological Office said.
It says the aviation alert code has been changed to red, the highest level, but any ash produced has so far been minimal and all airports in Iceland are open. Icelandic Air Traffic Control has closed down the airspace from the ground up to 18,000 feet (5,486 meters).
In 2010, Iceland's Eyjafjallajokul volcano erupted and sparked a week of international aviation chaos, with thousands of flights canceled. Aviation officials closed Europe's air space for five days, fearing that volcanic ash could harm jet engines.

One of the best action movies I've seen in a long time offers a great picture and kick-ass audio. The AVC encode reveals phenomenal shadow detail and offers a razor-sharp image. The audio is just as impressive with an enveloping surround stage, first-rate frequency response, and pervasive ambience.

Floyd Mayweather Girlfriend Abortion Revelation: Boxer Accuses Shantel Jackson of 'Killing' Their Twin Babies
In the run-up to Saturday's big fight, Floyd Mayweather has been revealing details about why he split with his ex-girlfriend and fiancee Shantel Jackson, saying it was because she had had an abortion and that he was "totally against killing babies."
On Thursday, Mayweather posted a sonogram photo to his official Facebook, and revealed that Jackson aborted their twin babies.
The pair broke up last year, but until this week, fans did not know the real reason for their split.
However, Mayweather explained the real reason when he posted the sonogram photo and abortion papers (dated December 26).
"The real reason me and Shantel Christine Jackson @missjackson broke up was because she got a abortion, and I'm totally against killing babies. She killed our twin babies, " he captioned the photo.
Although the original post has since been deleted, it was up long enough for media outlets to jump on the news. Despite pulling the sonogram photo from his Facebook, Mayweather did not backtrack on what he had revealed.
In a recent interview with V-103, the boxer continued to talk about his ex, describing her as "selfish."
He said, "It hurt my feelings, all because she's selfish because all she's worried about is looks, talking about 'I don't want to mess my body up.' Everything you got on your body, I paid for so it's okay. Even if you had the baby — even if you had the babies, if you wanted me to put you back together like I did in the beginning, I could've done it again."
The 37-year-old and Jackson previously dated for four years before calling off their engagement last year.
Shantel Jackson, also known as Miss Jackson, is an aspiring actress and model and is now dating Nelly.

Technically easy routes exists in the vicinity of the large avalanche chute that has cleared a path on Allen Mountain. The hillside is covered with alders, and it's prime grizzly habitat, so be be sure to take caution if hiking off-trail. By ascending uphill and to the right, you'll eventually encounter a small cliff band. Traverse beneath it to the south (right) until an easy, broad class II gully provides access to the north summit ridge. From there, it's a straightforward class II ridge slog to the top.

Thanks to past posters for feedback. Drastically cutting down our France stops and simplifying. Need to get all hotels confirmed pronto.
Two kids - 10 year old boy twins - one mom for 25 days in France. 10 days in Paris and one week in Montpellier are necessary (visiting friends).
Would you add one week up north Normandy/Brittany or one week in Dordogne? I've wanted to see both, so I know I can't lose here. Both work well logistically transportation-wise. Boys haven't studied WW2 yet. Or any war for that matter. But the north still sounds cool. A little worried about mass numbers of tourists in Dordogne in mid June.
Thank you all for your advice. Very much appreciated!

The Dordogne, definitely. It makes geographic sense, and the boys should love it: caves, castles, etc. Don't know why it would be any more crowded than Normandy. The Dordogne is a popular area here on Fodors, but I don't think it's so widely known yet.
Report Abuse
We have been to both and really loved both areas so as you say you cannot go wrong. A lot depends on the interests of the boys. Weather can be changeable in either location. We were in the Dordogne in Mid Sept and the weather got cool, continued north and in Late Sept the weather was beautiful in Normandy. So here were some of my favorite things to do in both:
A night on Mont St Michel - touring the abbey, sitting on the wall later and watching the water rush in (great fun especially since someone almost lost their car they forgot to move). D Day beaches - being able to walk down into the bunkers on Omaha beach. The magnitude of it and the Cemetery, lunch in Arromanches and the man made port. The D day museum is great (husbands love it), a lot depends on how impressed the boys would be. Monet's gardens are a nice Segway into Paris.
We stayed in La Roque Gageac and used it as a base to see Sarlat and Beynac. Wonderful markets, if the weather would be good, there are canoe trips (which we did not do, too cool). Favorite tour was the Font-de-Gaume. A one hour tour IN an original prehistoric cave dating from about 25,000 BC discovered in 1901. We left with an incredible appreciation of prehistoric man after seeing the sculpted drawings and how they were made (pointed out by a laser pen). Keep in mind if you go you need to get a tour in "English". Initially in Sept there was none available. However, our French guide was so conscientious wanting us to understand all the history he got permission from all the group (only 10) to do it in as he apologized his poor English, which was really good.
Scenery is fantastic with climbing to hilltop cities. Do not know if you are including Carcassone in this but it is great too, but is best if you spend the night inside the walls. When all the tourists leave in the evening, you can walk the walls almost alone.
Have a wonderful trip!
Tourist wise, I think it may not be very different in either location. It was crowded in both for us.

As mentioned above, logistically it makes more sense to concentrate on the Dordogne and Lot River areas. The kids would love the castles and old villages everywhere. I love Brittany, both east and west, and of course,east into Normandy and it's WW II history, but my choice would be Dordogne under your circmstances, Browndog.
Here are some of my scanned pics of Dordogne and Lot, and even with some views of Collioure on the Vermilion Coast near the Spanish border. The Lascaux Caves or Font de Gaume will be of interest to the boys, also. I hear the lineups for entrance have grown exponentially since we were last there just a few years ago.
Report Abuse
The Dordogne in a heartbeat, though I love lots of areas of France.
You don't have to worry about "lineups" for Lascaux II. You do have to go to the tourist office ahead of time to get tickets; for Font-de-Gaume,good luck. You need to get there around 8 am and hope you're one of the 80 people allowed in that day.
Report Abuse
For ten year old children, the Dordogne probably has more to offer than Normandy/Brittany. Tickets for Lascaux are purchased in Montignac. While I enjoyed Font-de-Gaume, I do not think that it is a "must" and probably can be disappointing after Lascaux II.
Consider a canoe ride on the Dordogne. You can do it for different lengths of time: 2 hrs. 4 hrs., the whole day.

I am torn as I love both. Wouldn't the Dordogne be better for logistics?
I asked my kids what they preferred at age 10 & they overwhelmingly opted for Normandy. They loved the beaches, WW11 cemeteries, Mont St Michel & Falaises d'Etretat.
Stu - loved your photos. It felt like a stroll around some of my favourite places. Racamadour minus crowds & Conques are delights.

Dordogne - without a doubt. Castles, caves, Gouffre de Padirac, boat/canoe trips, "cute little villages", Sarlat, birds of prey show at Les Milandes, medieval jousting demonstrations - everything the twins would love - and you too!!!. Mid June is NOT a problem - mid/late July would be - but not mid-June.

I think from a prior post, you said you lived in San Francisco. I was born in San Francisco in 1947 and have spent many years wandering up & down the coast. We lived in Laguna Beach for about 5 years, and in SF or San Mateo since '75. I assume you live near the coast too. Brittany is lovely - but not a whole lot better than the Calif coast - except for the medieval villages, castles, and wonderful churches. We have nothing like the Dordogne here in the USA - visit the Dordogne (castles there too).

One more thing
Mid June in Normandy or Brittany could have pretty "iffy" weather. We're spoiled living here in California - it rarely rains from May through October. In late June '11 we were in Normandy for 2 weeks and it rained hard most of the day for about 3 days. It was overcast about half the time. There were around 3 "beach days". Pretty much the same in Brittany around Dinan when we were there for 2 weeks in late June '01. Eisenhower had to call off the D-day invasion for one day because of bad weather.
Are you going to Les Demoiselles just north of Montpellier? Better stalactite & mite cave than anything near the Dordogne. Or Clamouse cave - even closer to Montpelier. How about the Gorge du Tarn??
I'm not a fan of the Camargue. The SF zoo has pink storks.

Stu, you're too funny. I am curious as to why/how you became so into France?
I have been to the Les Demoiselles and was planning to take the kids either there or to some grottes in Dordogne - thanks for answering that question!
My kids want to see where I lived in Montpellier and it is important for me to show them some of the things I've done. This will be the best part of the trip for me.
It is also a last minute trip. I never intended to go to Europe but well-priced tickets happened, and... I have also never planned a Europe trip during the internet age. I remember a fat Let's Go! book and a handful of lires calling pensiones from Italian train stations looking for a place to sleep. Now, too much info = too many decisions.
Thank you.

We retired when we were in our early 50s so we could travel more. No kids. We love good food, diversity, different types of sites & terrain, different people, etc - France has all of these. My wife speaks French (she studied in St Brieuc/Brittany one summer during high school). We also discovered Gites. We've rented 53 gites (several of them multiple times) & have stayed in them for a total of 87 weeks - plus apts. in St Tropez, Nice, and Paris. Gites allow us to feel like were living there - instead of just visiting. Often we'll have a day just like we have at home - where we do nothing except relax on the deck outside, go to the morning farmer's market, read a book, make chicken stock for risotto from leftover chicken, prepare a dinner, etc. We usually stay in a gite for 2 weeks at a time. These gites rent anywhere from $700 to $1,200 a week (higher in July & Aug - but we rarely go to France in July & Aug). They are at least 2 bedrooms, multiple baths, and some have pools. Gites make traveling more affordable and they kinda force us to spend more time in just one spot - which is the way we like to do it now.
In June, we'll be on the Lot River in Puy l'Eveque near Cahors for 2 weeks, then in the Auvergne near Roanne for 2 weeks. Last year we were in the Pyrenees for 5 weeks - 3 different gites. We were in Paris just before Christmas in '10 & '11 - fabulous time to be there.

We've had a couple of house sitters stay in our home while we're gone. Big problems!!! They don't treat our home like we do. They allowed our cat to stop eating & get a few diseases. When we got home, we had to rush the cat to the nightime emergency room. Then I had to shuttle him back & forth from the nightime emergency room to the daytime one - for several days. He barely made it. Our sitter also broke a door on the refrigerator, a door on the oven, broke the toilet, smashed our car into another car, broke a porcelain washbasin handle, taped something to a column outside our house and paint was pulled away when we removed it, bought plants & wantered them on an oak table - without any saucer & it ruined the table. Set hot hair curler on the bathroom vanity & it bubbled the verathane finish.
Nope - no exchanges or sitters.

This is literally the twentieth time in the past three days that I have sat down to write this. Every time I get started, I am assigned a new task or asked to help on another project. I knew I would be very busy this week, but whew!
Wednesday and Thursday were the media preview days at the Auto Show. Only media professionals who have been verified and given credentials by our staff are allowed to attend. Everyone put in 12 hour workdays and additional activities later in the evening. Alexis and I covered the Hyundai press conference where John Krafcik, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor America revealed their newest version of the Genesis sedan, the Genesis 2.0T and 3.8 Coupe and the sporty new R-Spec. The R-Spec is a turbo-charged version of Hyundai's new coupes. The R-Spec Coupe will be the premiere car for the Red Bull Drift Team featuring driver, Rhys Millen who was also at the press conference.
We also covered the Acura press conference where their big reveal was the Vice President of Acura Sales, Jeff Conrad, spoke to the press about his appreciation for the shared stage provided at no cost by the Chicago Auto Show. Acura revealed its new V-6 model on the Grand Concourse stage for its TSX sports sedan line-up. Much of the presentation was focused on the economy and the saying, "I give my hat off for the Chicago Auto Show for coming up with a solution to keeping expenses reasonable for manufacturers to hold the press conferences during this difficult economic time. The automotive market may be slowing down, but not Acura," said Conrad.
The seminar, "Engaging the Blogosphere," was well attended by the media. J. D. Power presented information they obtained by a survey regarding the untapped potential of blogs and blos pages as a marketing tool. A pannel discussion including industry representatives-- Dutch Mandel (AutoWeek Editor/Associate Publisher); Terry Rhadigan (Communications Director for Chevrolet's division of GM); John Neff (AutoBlog.com Editor-in-Chief); David Thomas (KickingTires Editor); and the moderator of the panel was Jason Vines.
Thursday night was the big event, First Look For Chairity, where Chicago's social elite gathered for a night of private viewing of the cars, a variety of coffees, wines and other beverages, and exquisite hors' devours and desserts. The event was well planned and executed and there were many prizes to give away. The main prizes given away were a 2009 Kia Borrego and a 2010 Chevy Camero. There is a five minute time limit for ticket holders to make their way up to the stage to claim their prize. The winner of the first car, the Borrego, was a young man who was followed on stage by his posse'--five of his friends and brothers. Sadly, the second winner was unable to make it to the stage in time and so another number was drawn. Guess what...both ticket holders finally made it onto the stage at the same time. Only won can win...I would have been so mad at myself I had missed the time limit and watched "my" car drive away!
This has been a whirl wind of a week and as pleased as I am to have been here, I am definitely ready to head home.

Michigan is the latest state to give adult motorcyclists the right to choose whether they want to 'Easy Rider' it like Billy or wear a helmet.
also are required to carry additional medical insurance if they decide not to wear a helmet, as are motorcycle passengers 21 or older who choose to do the same. Michigan is the 28th state to implement a partial law, while Iowa, Illinois and New Hampshire have no helmet laws at all.
In a press release issued by the governor's office, Snyder said, "While many motorcyclists will continue to wear helmets, those who choose not to deserve the latitude to make their own informed judgments as long as they meet the requirements of this new law."
"There is no substitute for proper training, education and awareness when it comes to operating any motor vehicle. We must continue working together to keep our roads safe by making sure that everyone who gets behind the wheel of a car or on a motorcycle has the proper skills. Traffic safety is a responsibility shared by all motorists," he added.
The bill overturns a 45-year-old law. Michigan began enforcing the helmet law in 1967 to comply with U.S. Department of Transportation requirements. If they didn't comply, the state wouldn't have been eligible for federal funds, but that requirement is no longer in affect.
State Sen. Phil Pavlov sponsored the bill which was approved with bipartisan support.

TNT Has announced that Dallas icons Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy, and Linda Gray are on-board for the revival. That's right, "revival" – in case you haven't heard, TNT's new Dallas series is not another 're-imagining', this is a bonafide sequel.
The original Dallas ran for thirteen years and followed the exploits of the morally diverse Ewing family – an uber-rich family of oil Tycoons. Dallas became the gold standard for prime-time soaps, perfecting the 'saga' formula that resulted in stylistic spinoff's like Knot's Landing, Falcon Crest, and even 90210. The group dynamic templates even persist today, in ever fading permutations – but TNT is going to change the 'fading' part, plugging their 'saga' directly into the sinew of the original Dallas.
One key element of the new Dallas's plot TNT revealed is a love triangle involving J.R. Ewing's son, John Ross, Bobby and Pam Ewing's adopted son Christopher, and the object of their mutual admiration Elena. When not fighting over the Ewing empire, John and Christopher will be vying for Elena's attention.
In addition to the returning 'classic' cast members, TNT has announced that Desperate Housewives' hunk Josh Henderson will be joining as John Ross, and Jordana Brewster (Fast & Furious) will play Elena. No word yet on who will play Christopher. Also, no indication as to how much Hagman, Duffy, and Gray will be used on the series; expect them in 'guest star' status.

FREDERICK, Md. -- Prosecutors in Frederick have added a felony count of aggravated animal cruelty to the charges against a Brunswick man accused of tossing a Chihuahua off a bridge.
The additional charge prompted postponement of a hearing Thursday for 34-year-old David Michael Beers, the Frederick News-Post reported.
Beers already faced a misdemeanor count of animal cruelty plus theft and trespass charges. The new charge means he could be sentenced to up to three years in prison if convicted.
Beers has admitted he threw Caisha and Tim Wantz's dog Zoey from his car as he drove over Catoctin Creek, police said.
Beers grabbed the animal after an argument with the couple in their long, rural driveway, according to court documents. Trying to pull out of the driveway, the couple asked him to leave. He told them he wanted to stay and make a call on his cell phone. Then he drove toward Caisha like he was going to run her over, the couple said.
The man left but returned when the couple left and grabbed Zoey, according to charging documents.

What Do Increasing Attacks Against Soft Targets in Thailand's South Signal?
August 6, 2014
On Friday, July 25, a car bomb rocked the normally peaceful tourist haven of Betong in Thailand's southern province of Yala, leaving three dead and 42 injured. For the last eight years, Betong had remained relatively untouched by the ongoing insurgency in the Deep South. However, in the last six months, the insurgents have changed tactics and are increasingly demonstrating that they have the ability and deadly resolve to strike anywhere and against anyone.
Following the first-round meeting in February 2013 between the Thai Government and the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) rebel group that marked the start of surprise peace talks, insurgents have primarily targeted hard targets such as military and police personnel. However, following the breakdown of talks in July 2013, insurgents have shifted from ambushing soldier and police vehicles to car bombings in public spaces, including markets, schools, and hospitals, which have inflicted a greater number of civilian casualties. Since the peace talks stalled, 35 women have been killed – with Buddhist women making up the majority of victims of targeted killings – and over 60 women have been injured, mainly from bomb blasts. Over the past 10 years, 62 children have lost their lives and over 370 have been injured.
"I don't have any more children left. I don't have a reason to live but when I die and am cremated, there will be no one to collect my ashes. Violent incidents take place here every day … anyone can be killed next," said one mother who recounted her story after her daughter, who worked at a local bank, was shot and her body burned on her way home from work.
To provide a voice for those affected by the violence, Bangkok-based and southern women's organizations organized a public forum, "Breaking the Wall of Silence: Stop Taking the Lives of Women and Children," on July 22. Mothers, sisters, and daughters from both Buddhist and Muslim communities recounted heartbreaking stories of how they lost children and loved ones to the violence. A young Muslim mother who herself sustained severe injuries that almost led to her lose her leg, struggled to tell the story of how she awoke in the hospital to find that she would never again see her five-year- old son who was with her at the produce market at the time the bomb went off. Or the story of a disabled Buddhist woman who was unable to run away from an attack and her bullet-ridden body was discovered at the scene. These are the tragic stories disclosed by relatives who lost their loved ones in the decade-long subnational violent conflict in Thailand's southernmost provinces.
In the forum, most victims and relatives disclosed that they felt invisible and forgotten by society. Although many have been able to access some government compensation schemes, still many victims and survivors are not listed in the official police database, which is a requirement for receiving government assistance. In most cases, victims' relatives said the best healing for them is to hear the truth about who is responsible for committing the crime. The forum closed with a statement from relatives and representatives of the women's organizations that addressed the armed parties directly, calling on them to respect the principles of International Humanitarian Law and stop any activity that would harm civilians.
They reiterated that public spaces such as schools, markets, hospitals, and religious compounds should be designated as safe zones, and that all armed groups must refrain from military activity in or around the areas that could put children and other civilians at risk. They also called for Muslim and Buddhist religious leaders to reconvene interfaith dialogues to correct any misconceptions in the interpretation of religious principles.
The statement also called for the media and high-ranking officials participating in the forum to take immediate measures to ensure security and safety for civilians, particularly women and children, and improve emergency response capacity and comprehensive short- and long-term assistance. There was also a strong call for the establishment of a truth-seeking mechanism to help speed up reparation and the judicial process.
Last week, the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) announced its commitment that peace talks would continue with the aim of permanently ending the southern conflict, but the approach may be different from that taken by the previous government. While negotiations are still being worked out, the increasing attacks on soft targets sends a loud signal of the need for talks that bring lasting conflict resolution for the people of the Deep South.

Sun 27th Jan 2013 11:00amEscape Surfboards's Polzeath Surf Report
Polzeath : Wild and windy this morning with a big swell and a lot of white water here. I would think that you are going to be better off looking at the more sheltered beaches to get your fix today. The wind is supposed to moderate this afternoon and so as the tide pushes in there will be some good waves at Harlyn and the town beaches of Newquay. The forecast is for wind and big swells for most of the coming week. There will be some fantastic waves to be had if you look to the sheltered beaches of the North and South coast. We are not working today but will be back tomorrow and open between 10 and 12.30 and then 2.00 until 4.30 so we'll see you then. Call 01208 863962 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Now I am even more convinced this guy is an ass and a liar. What I find so fascinating about this is that people on the left still don't get it. The far left could care less about anyone or anything but themselves and the viewpoints that they hold. Anderson Cooper is far from a right wing nut, so why the hate Nir? Listen carefully to what he says at the end. He reveals himself in all his pathetic glory. His real issue is that a white woman is getting attention for being sexually assaulted. Is it ok to attack white women?

Indian Naan Bread
(59) Ratings:
Makes:8 naans
Indian Naan Bread is a perfect solution to the "What to bring" dilemma when you're attending a party or potluck, and it's a delicious alternative when you're looking for something a little different.
Traditionally dipped in Raita – a cooling yogurt/cucumber combo that's similar to tzatziki, Indian Naan Bread is a versatile flat bread that's served with most Indian dishes. Made with Robin Hood Best for Bread Homestyle White Flour, Indian Naan Bread can also be served with family favorites. This scratch recipe is topped with a delicious mixture of sesame and poppy seeds and its unique taste is sure to warm you up when you're feeling chilled.
- COMBINE 3 cups (750 mL) of Robin Hood Best for Bread Homestyle White Flour and salt in large mixing bowl. Make a well in centre. Mix warm milk, butter and yogurt. Pour into well. Sprinkle sugar and yeast over milk mixture. Let stand 10 minutes. Beat with wooden spoon or electric mixer until smooth and elastic. If necessary, add more flour to make a soft dough which leaves sides of bowl. Turn out onto floured board. Round up into a ball.
- KNEAD dough, adding more flour as necessary until smooth and elastic.
- PLACE in lightly greased bowl. Turn dough to grease top. Cover with greased waxed paper and tea towel.
- LET RISE in warm place (75° - 85°F/24° - 29°C) until doubled (45-60 minutes).
- PUNCH DOWN. Turn out onto lightly floured board and knead for 1 minute. Divide dough into 8 portions. Shape each into a ball. Cover and let rest 15 minutes.
- SHAPE one ball at a time, keeping remaining balls covered. Roll dough into circle, 1/4" (1 cm) thick keeping it thin in the centre and thicker around the edges. Pull one end outward to make a tear drop shape. Repeat with remaining balls
- BRUSH dough with melted butter and sprinkle with seeds.
- BRUSH baking sheets with water. Put 2 or 3 naans on each sheet.
- BAKE at 450°F (230°C) for 5-6 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. To keep breads soft, wrap in tea towels 5 minutes after baking. Store in plastic bag.

Hi, being very newish to Matlab I am trying to solve a simple problem to begin with, and advance from there. I have 2 sets if data (named x and y in workspace). When I use curve fitting tool to fit the data, it works fine, but if I use the script below in .m file, I get error saying more input arguments are needed to run.
ft = fittype ('poly4'); [xdata, ydata] = prepareCurveData(x,y); c = fit(xdata,ydata,ft);
I have tried the fit from curve fitting toolbox and using generate code function and I get the same error. What am I missing here?
Any help is appreciated.
Log in to comment.
'Generate code' usually returns a function and not a scrip. Is it possible that you are not calling the function with the right arguments?
Could you paste the exact error message from the command line?
Also, could you run the following and see if it works?
>> x = rand(10,1); >> y = rand(10,1); >> ft = fittype ('poly4'); [xdata, ydata] = prepareCurveData(x,y); c = fit(xdata,ydata,ft);
I created random numbers to show you an example. you can use your own data. I will use random numbers again.
>> x = rand(10,1); >> y = rand(10,1); >> [fitresult, gof] = rubb(x, y)
Does executing the above in the command line work for you?
I think the issue is that you are calling the funcion rubb with no arguments although it clearly has two arguments x and y, which you need to pass to it inorder for it to return the fit result.
Just to add to that, you can't just execute the generated code. You will need to call it as showed above, either from the command line or from another script. hth.
Your commands execute perfectly fine in command window. I am confused as to what other possible input argument there can be that I am missing. I have just tried running and calling the m script file containing just the code below:
function [c,z] = createFit(x,y); [a, b] = prepareCurveData(x,y); ft = fittype ('poly4'); c = fit(a,b,ft); z = c(750);
Now when I run this m script file, it executes fine but if I call it from another script (which is what I eventually want to do) or from command window then it gives same error again (Error using createFit (line 2) Not enough input arguments).
I am struggling to understand what am I missing.

Exchange Traded Commodities Make Headway in Financial Markets
BOSTON -- After a slow start following their launch in 1993, exchange traded funds grew significantly in the late 1990s due in large part from institutional investor demand, according to Aite Group.
During the 2001-2002 recession, ETFs saw another slowdown only to pick up again in 2004 prompted by a wider array of investors including institutions, hedge funds, individuals and advisors, Aite reports in a newly-released primer on ETFs and exchange traded commodities.
Described as open-ended securities created by using multiple types of structures including trusts, partnerships or structured notes, ETCs are backed by underlying assets such as indexes, futures or physicals and are accessible to anyone with a broker, Aite noted in a newly released primer. Exchange traded commodities have grown to $36 billion and are expected to swell to $247.8 billion by 2012, according to Aite. To keep up with the demand, issuers grew their product lineup and offered various investment approaches involving shorting and leverage.
Aite reports that the first actively traded ETFs became available this quarter in the United States through Bear Stearns, now owned by JPMorgan and PowerShares, among others.
The overall ETF market now has more than 700 funds with approximately $700 billion in assets. There are 504 publicly filed ETFs pending and by some estimates over 1,000 privately filed ETF registration requests, according to Aite.

Labour fury at Ed Miliband blunder over EU referendum
LABOUR leader Ed Miliband is facing a rebellion by up to 30 of his own backbenchers after ordering his MPs to oppose the proposal for a European Union referendum in next week's Commons vote.
He angered the growing band of Eurosceptics in his party's ranks by deciding to impose a three-line whip on the vote.
And many party insiders fear Mr Miliband has made a huge error that will backfire among the many traditional Labour voters who are fed up with the EU.
Labour MP Kate Hoey yesterday said: "Labour voters across the country will be very angry that Labour is taking the same view as the Tory leadership on this issue.
"This just shows how the establishment colludes to ensure that the voice of the ordinary British citizen is shut out of what is happening at Westminster."
She is among a string of senior Labour MPs who have already defied their leader by signing the Commons motion proposing the referendum.
Labour voters across the country will be very angry over the EU referendum stance
Other Labour backers include former ministers Frank Field and Keith Vaz, and backbenchers Kelvin Hopkins, Austin Mitchell, Graham Stringer and Gisela Stuart.
Another Labour source said: "This is a serious mistake that has totally missed an opportunity to cause the Government some mischief."
Confirming his decision to try to order his MPs to oppose the motion, Mr Miliband said: "We are going to be voting against a proposal for a referendum on getting out of Europe.
"It's not the right thing for Britain. It is not the right thing for jobs. It is not the right thing for growth. The prospect of a referendum would create economic uncertainty our country does not need right now.
"David Cameron should show some leadership. He should not be spending the next few days negotiating with his backbenchers but negotiating for Britain to sort out the eurozone crisis."
But a Tory rebel said: "This is a big tactical error by Labour. This was a chance to cause the Government some real trouble."

Photos of iPod Touch with Capacitive Home Button Possibly Leaked

The images, which look like blurry camera photos, show an iPod touch with what may be a non-physical home button
Some questionable images of an
iPod touch
have hit the web, leaving tech sites and consumers wondering if they are leaked photos of an iPod touch with a capacitive home button.
Apple's iPod touch, which is a personal digital assistant, portable media player and Wi-Fi mobile platform, was first introduced in 2007. As of September 2009, Apple sold over 45 million of these devices. So far, four generations of the iPod touch have been released, each with software updates and added features such as a 0.7 megapixel fixed focus camera.
The physical home button has been a staple in the iPod touch design throughout all four generations, but these new pictures show otherwise.
The images
, which look like blurry camera photos, show an iPod touch with what may be a non-physical home button. It also has a DVT-1 badge, 128 GB of memory, an aluminum back that resembles the description of the new iPhone 5's back, and is marked model MC550LL.
In addition, the photos indicate that the touch is running firmware 4.2.1MC14, which is an older version. The fact that it is running older firmware has lead many to believe that this model has been sitting around for quite some time, and was only used as a test subject.
While a capacitive home button may decrease wear and tear with use on the iPod touch, it's unclear if Apple plans to make this feature a reality, or if these pictures are even leaked images of such a feature. But it doesn't seem completely out of the question since Apple is making changes to its other iPod products, such as
adding a camera to the iPod nano
once again while keeping the body slimmer and smaller body.

Tricia Penrose became the sixth housemate to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house tonight.
The former Emmerdale actress followed Frankie Dettori out of the house in a double eviction.
After Brian had announced her name, Tricia went out of the CBB doors and danced down the stairs as the snow began to fall (how romantic).
Back in the studio, Tricia confessed: "I would have liked to have made it to Friday cause I've come this far."
Speaking about what it was like to live with the house's most controversial contestants, Spencer and Heidi, the actress said: "It's very atmospheric. They're just a very special couple. I can't get my head around them."
She also tipped Rylan to win. Like everyone else in the world.
Tricia's CBB journey started rather well. Whilst half of the celebrities were sent to the miserable, cold basement on launch night, Tricia walked straight into the luxury house thanks to Rylan Clark and Frankie Dettori, who decided she would be "more of a laugh".
On her way in, she told Brian: "I'm very laid back but cross me and you'll be in trouble. Denise Welch told me to enjoy it and don't take it too serious - just enjoy it. I won't be getting these puppies out though!"
Once inside the house, Tricia quickly established a friendship with the other celebrity mums, former EastEnders actress Gillian Taylforth and Claire Richards from Steps.
Together, the trio were a force to be reckoned with, isolating 'youngsters' Sam Robertson and Lacey Banghard, with Sam moaning that it was like hanging out with his parents' mates.
Tricia was left a little bit peeved earlier this week after Paula Hamilton returned to the house and, along with Rylan, branded her one of the worst dressed housemates.
Paula said about her: "I think Tricia is mutton dressed as lamb and should make friends with her age. Accept her age. She looks tarty. She's worn the hair band every day, I'm sick of the sight of it."
But her penchant for headbands didn't seem to harm her popularity any, as it emerged that Tricia's odds of winning had been slashed ahead of Wednesday's double eviction, making her a favourite to win!
Already missing Tricia? Read more about her here...
Name: Tricia Penrose
Age: 42
Known for: Appearing in just about every ITV show going
Career highlight: Her 17-year stint as Gina Ward on Heartbeat
Career lowlight: Entering A Song For Europe in the hopes of representing the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest - and losing
Celebrity mates: Nick Berry, Tara Palmer-Tomkinson
In brief: In addition to her years on Heartbeat, Tricia's also appeared in Coronation Street, Emmerdale, The Royal and Boon. But it's not just acting she loves - Tricia also likes to belt out a song and, in addition to releasing two singles, has appeared on the celebrity version of Stars in Their Eyes, Comic Relief Does Fame Academy (where she came second to Tara PT) and Sing If You Can. She was also a contestant on Celebrity MasterChef in 2010, but was booted out early on after serving uncooked liver. So the housemates had best check anything she cooks before they put it in their mouthes.
We predicted: Food poisoning. Which thankfully didn't come true. Can you imagine them all chucking up in that bathroom together?
Frankie and Tricia's departures leaves Razor Ruddock, Rylan Clarke, Ryan Moloney, Claire Richards, and Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag battling it out for the CBB crown. Click here for more Celebrity Big Brother 2013 news.
