I began experimenting with different polenta combinations and came up with a variety of combinations. Traditional polenta takes at least 30 minutes of cooking in a copper pot over low heat with continual stirring. Fortunately, imported instant (precooked) polenta with a silkier texture has become available nationwide. This fine-grained polenta, which cooks in just a few minutes, yields an excellent flavor as well as texture.
Substituting chicken or vegetable stock for part or all of the water called for in savory recipes will produce a more flavorful result. Remember that polenta is really a foil, like pasta or pizza, for its topping.
Polenta is one dish that runs the gamut from breakfast to dinner. You'll find an unusual breakfast idea as well as a lunch or dinner dish below. The savory version can be varied easily.
Other ways to enjoy it include topping the soft polenta with Bolognese sauce, a saute of fresh and wild mushrooms, favorite herb pesto, or cheeses like creamy Gorgonzola, burrata or a soft Saint Andre. You can also pour the warm polenta into a greased pan, let it cool, cut into squares and then grill it. We will revisit that idea when the weather turns warm. In the meantime, enjoy this rustic Italian dish.
Breakfast polenta with mascarpone, maple syrup
The topping of the rich mascarpone cheese and the sweet maple syrup nicely complement the Parmesan cheese flavored polenta. Serve this with crisp bacon or sausages for a hearty start to your day.
Servings: 4
3 cups milk
3/4 cup instant polenta
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
1/4 cup maple syrup
1. Bring the milk to a boil in a medium saucepan on medium-high heat. When the liquid is boiling, add the polenta and stir continually with a wooden spoon for about 3 minutes or until the mixture is slightly thickened. Reduce the heat to medium-low so that the mixture will not thicken before the polenta is cooked through. Add the Parmesan cheese and blend well.
2. Spoon into cereal bowls and top with mascarpone and maple syrup. Serve immediately.
Warm, soft polenta with sun-dried tomato pesto
Servings: 6
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, minced
2 scallions, white and light green parts only, finely chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
7 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 cups instant polenta
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup favorite sun-dried tomato pesto (see below below) or your favorite pesto
Basil leaves for garnish (optional)
1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and saute the shallots and the scallions for 5 to 7 minutes or until softened and just beginning to caramelize. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more, being careful not to brown it.
2. Add the stock and bring to a fast boil on high heat. Using a liquid measuring cup, add the cornmeal very slowly in a thin stream, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Lower the heat and continue cooking, stirring all the time, for about 5 minutes, or until it is very thick, smooth and creamy. Add 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese and the mascarpone cheese and stir just until the cheese has melted into the polenta.
3. Spoon the polenta into shallow soup bowls and spoon on a large dollop of the pesto and the remaining 2 tablespoons of grated cheese. Serve immediately.
Sun-dried tomato pesto
Makes about 1/2 cup
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained (reserve oil)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon reserved oil from tomatoes, or olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
With the motor running, add the garlic cloves to a food processor. Add the tomatoes, basil, oil, salt and pepper, and process until a thick paste is formed. If it is too thick, you may need to add a bit more oil. Place the pesto in a covered container and refrigerate. Add the cheese just before serving.

Includes real stories of patients and personal experiences of Dr. Weir, with a foreword by Joni Eareckson Tada.
ePub, Reflowable$8.99
When the diagnosis is serious, what makes the difference between hope and despair?
As a practicing oncologist, Dr. Al Weir works daily with patients who receive bad news. A medical doctor with a pastor's heart, Dr. Weir knows from experience that it's the patient's focus, not the diagnosis, that indicates whether one will slip into despair and hopelessness or have the courage to live each day fully. Resilience of spirit can powerfully influence recovery and healing, and within our crisis, the choices we make are important.
When Your Doctor Has Bad News offers no easy answers, no quick outs. But it does equip you to weather the storm you are facing and emerge whole again. Practical tips provide questions for you to ask your doctor and choices you can make to achieve your best chances for healing. Real-life stories show how others have coped with life-threatening illness, walked with God, and won.
You can deepen communion with God in the midst of medical crisis. When Your Doctor Has Bad News gives you proven principles that will enable you to choose a life worth living, no matter what news the doctor has given you.
"Dr. Weir . . . guides the reader---especially the one who has received bad news---past the soul-numbing shock of a dismal medical report. He reminds us of the soothing comfort available in the Word of God, of the heartwarming precepts upon which we can build a new life, and of the simple steps a family can take to promote hope and healing."

- Health IT vital to medication therapy, NACDS tells congressional panel
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Maneuvering to set forth a firm policy position in advance of President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores again urged Congress Tuesday to "look to pharmacy as a solution in improving patient health and curbing healthcare costs."
NACDS president and CEO Steve Anderson issued a statement calling attention to the role that pharmacists play in accessible, cost-effective patient care. His statement, made during the run-up to tonight's highly anticipated address by the president, was a plea for greater recognition of the value that pharmacy brings to a healthcare system in dire need of cost-cutting solutions.
"Pharmacists have the unique skill set to help patients understand the importance of taking their medications as prescribed," Anderson said. "Through medication therapy management — which involves pharmacists counseling and educating patients on how to achieve medication adherence — pharmacists can help patients understand and manage their healthcare needs."
What's more, NACDS' top executive said, "the role of pharmacy in the healthcare delivery system has become even more critical as convenience becomes even more important in everyday life. The neighborhood pharmacy is an accessible healthcare provider, and can also help patients detect health conditions through blood pressure and cholesterol screenings, as well as administering vaccinations, including flu shots."
Anderson reminded federal policy-makers that pharmacists remain "1-of-the-top-3 most ttrusted professionals for eight years in a row," according to Gallup. "We urge Congress to look to pharmacy to set the example in how proactive approaches to health can produce long-term results that benefit patients and the healthcare system," Anderson said. "We look forward to working with lawmakers and the Obama administration on MTM programs that help to achieve medication adherence and put patients first."

Family and friends paid their final respects to Army Specialist Theodore Matthew Glende.
His funeral was held Saturday afternoon at the Interfaith Chapel at the University of Rochester.
For just about every soldier that's made the ultimate sacrifice, there are hundreds of tears.
"These are three kids I've buried in the last year," said Tim Yetter as he pointed to three wrist bands on his arm. "And I think that's why this is so emotional for me."
"The hero is only 23 years old and it's getting to the point now where we really seriously have to think about pulling our troops out and getting these kids home," said Yetter, who is a Patriot Guard Ride Captain.
Nearly ninety Patriot Guard riders escorted Army Specialist Theo Matthew Glende's body and his family to what would be his last roll call.
"Very, very sobering, very difficult to watch," said Will Palmer of Penfield.
Yet Palmer says for the last six months he's watched and welcomed every local fallen soldier home with his flag and a silent salute.
"Every one of these that I've gone to; it's an indescribable feeling," said Palmer. "It's a feeling of pride, it's a feeling of sadness, but at the same time thanking them and appreciating everything they've done for each and every one of us."
During Glende's funeral service he was described as a man who wanted nothing more than to protect his country.
"I can't say enough good things about Specialist Theodore Matthew Glende," said Brigadier General Ted Martin of the U.S. Army. "He's everything we dream about when we think about what kind of soldier we want to serve for our Army, for our country."
Glende was killed when his unit was attacked in Afghanistan. His family was told by the Army he made the ultimate sacrifice right after saving the lives of at least five other fellow soldiers.
"On the 27th of July, Private First Class Glende lost his life trying to save a life of another soldier. He is a warrior. He will be missed. We will never forget him," said Martin.
Glende recently married in April. Prior to the Army he was a McQuaid High School graduate and a student at Niagara University. He will be missed by the more than 200 mourners who attended his service.
"I've never seen such an outpouring of love, both from everybody in Rochester. This is an unbelievable town," said Martin.
As Glende was escorted to his final resting place, loved ones say he'll forever be remembered as a hero.

The best Junior ISAs
Take a look at these Junior ISA options, one of which offers a 6% return.
Junior ISAs (JISAs) are a great way to usher your kids into the savings habit early in their lives. Launched in November 2011, they allow funds to be paid into a tax-free savings account held in the name of an under-18 by a family member.
Like regular adult accounts, JISAs come in cash as well as stocks and shares varieties. Up to £3,600 (£3,720 from 6th April) can be invested in one or both types of JISAs (although the combined amount can't be over that limit) in the current tax year and the funds cannot be withdrawn until the child turns 18 – when the account turns into a regular adult ISA.
However, one downside with these ISAs is that they are not available to any child who holds a Child Trust Fund, the Government-backed scheme that closed to new business in 2011.
So what are the best JISAs around at the moment? First up, the cash variety…
Halifax's 6% Junior ISA
Halifax has the top-paying Cash JISA with a variable rate of 6% – but you will have to jump through a hoop to get hold of it. The person with 'parental responsibility' for the JISA will also need to open up a regular Halifax ISA, although you only need to deposit £1. If a parent doesn't have a Halifax ISA, the interest rate is currently 3%.
So how do Halifax's regular adult rates stack up?
If you're after an easy access account, Halifax's ISA Saver Online offers 1.95% for 12 months on a minimum balance of £1 (transfers from other ISAs are also allowed). After the first year, the rate drops to a paltry 0.25%.
But even with the temporary bonus, this account is still fairly middle-of-the-road for easy access ISAs.
If you're definitely after a Halifax account you'll get a better rate if you're prepared to lock your cash away for a set period. Here's how the bank's Fixed ISAs stack up:
Term |
Rate |
One year |
2.05% |
Two years |
2.50% |
Three years |
3.00% |
Four years |
3.05% |
Five years |
3.210% |
Transfers in are allowed from other ISAs.
So, lock away your cash for three years and you'll earn 3.00% on your adult stash and be eligible for the 6% Junior ISA. Not a bad savings duo in the current climate. It's worth pointing out you can only open the Junior ISA in a branch.
Other cash options
But if that sounds like too much hassle, here are some other Junior Cash ISA options:
Provider |
Interest Rate (AER) |

Nationwide's Smart JISA is a competitive offering at 3.25%. However, the account is boosted by a 1.15% bonus that will fall away after 12 months, leaving you earning just 2.10%.
Meanwhile, the Coventry Building Society's Junior ISA offers the same interest rate with no bonus tied in.
Stocks and shares Junior ISAs
Stocks and shares Junior ISAs will usually offer a better return than Cash JISAs, but they are riskier. There is obviously the potential that you could lose money – a threat that is not there with the Cash ISA.
Picking a stocks and shares JISA is slightly trickier than choosing a cash account. If you already have an adult stocks and shares ISA, try speaking to your existing provider about what they have to offer. Otherwise it's just a case of shopping around for low management charges and fees. And beware of companies offering incentives such as free shopping vouchers in an attempt to blind you to the small print.
Asking a question on our Q&A board to get some advice from other more seasoned savers is another good idea.
And remember, if you don't use your or your child's annual ISA or JISA allowance by the end of the financial year – 5th April – you'll lose them.

Gerald Ford on Foreign PolicyPresident of the U.S., 1974-1977; Republican Rep. (MI) | |
"We've paid ransom, in effect, to the kidnappers of our hostages," said President Carter. President Ford said, "Whoever initiated this covert operation and carried it out deserves some condemnation by certain people in Congress, by people on the outside."
Q: [to Ford]: I�m sorry, did I understand you to say that the Russians are not using Eastern Europe as their own sphere of influence in occupying most of the countries there?
FORD: I don�t believe that the Yugoslavians consider themselves dominated by the Soviet Union. I don�t believe that the Rumanians or the Poles consider themselves dominated by the Soviet Union. Each of those countries is independent, autonomous, it has its territorial integrity and the US does not conceded that those countries are under the domination of the Soviet Union.
I was stepping through a minefield, but I failed to recognize it at that time. "I don't believe," I said, "that the Romanians or the Poles consider themselves dominated by the Soviet Union. Each of those countries is independent, autonomous; it has its own territorial integrity. And the US does not concede that those countries are under the domination of the Soviet Union. As a matter of fact, I visited Poland, Yugoslavia & Romania to make certain that the people of those countries understood that the President of the US and the people of the US are dedicated to their independence, their autonomy and their freedom." Carter jumped all over that.
Carter jumped all over that. "I would like to see Mr. Ford convince the Polish-Americans and the Czech-Americans and the Hungarian-Americans in this country," he said, "that those countries don't live under the domination and supervision of the Soviet Union behind the Iron Curtain."
Dick Cheney thought I should issue a clarification immediately. I told him I didn't see any need for that. If the critics didn't understand what I had meant to say, then that was their problem, not mine. And in my own mind I was sure what I had meant to say. Although the Soviet Union dominated Polish territory by stationing troops there, it didn't dominate the heart, soul and spirit of the Polish people. No, I reiterated, I wasn't going to retract what I had said.
Although I knew that its enactment would damage good relations with the Soviets, I decided reluctantly to sign the measure into law. A veto would have been overridden by an overwhelming majority. I could only hope that when members of Congress saw the damage they had done to the cause of furthering the emigration of Soviet Jews, they would change their minds in the next session and vote to soften or delete the amendment from the bill.
In this instance, Congressional intervention was counterproductive. Jewish emigration from the USSR dropped precipitously, and the Soviets canceled their 1972 trade agreement with us. They also reneged on their promise to settle a World War II lend-lease debt. In a world of 150 nations and fast-moving change, diplomacy is a continuing process. It must not be frozen in a statute.
As our meeting drew to a close, I asked [Cabinet members] to leave so I could chat with Park alone about the sensitive issue of human rights. Since 1972, Park had disbanded the National Assembly, set aside the South Korean constitution and adopted one-man rule. A former presidential candidate was under house arrest; the press had been gagged; church and student leaders had been jailed for criticizing Park's dictatorship. Congressional support, I said, would erode very quickly unless he took a more reasonable approach toward his opponents.
I told him I understood his problems, but urged him once again to be more lenient. Although he didn't commit himself to any specifics, I was led to believe that he would modify some of his more repressive policies.

MsgReceivev, MsgReceivev_r
This version of this document is no longer maintained. For the latest documentation, see http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs. |
MsgReceivev(), MsgReceivev_r()
Wait for a message or pulse on a channel
#include <sys/neutrino.h> int MsgReceivev( int chid, const iov_t * riov, int rparts, struct _msg_info * info ); int MsgReceivev_r( int chid, const iov_t * riov, int rparts, struct _msg_info * info );
- chid
- The ID of a channel that you established by calling ChannelCreate().
- riov
- An array of buffers where the function can store the received data.
- rparts
- The number of elements in the array.
- info
- NULL, or a pointer to a _msg_info structure where the function can store additional information about the message.
Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.
The MsgReceivev() and MsgReceivev_r() kernel calls wait for a message or pulse to arrive on the channel identified by chid and place the received data in the array of buffers pointed to by riov.
These functions are identical, except in the way they indicate errors; see the Returns section for details.
The number of bytes transferred is the minimum of that specified by both the sender and the receiver. The received data isn't allowed to overflow the receive buffer area provided.
The first buffer of the IOV (input/output vector) must be big enough to contain a pulse. If it isn't, the functions indicate an error of EFAULT. |
If a message is waiting on the channel when you call MsgReceivev(), the calling thread won't block, and the message is immediately copied. If a message isn't waiting, the calling thread enters the RECEIVE-blocked state until a message arrives.
If multiple messages are sent to a channel without a thread waiting to receive them, the messages are queued in priority order.
The thread's effective priority might change when it receives a message. For more information, see "Priority inheritance and messages" in the QNX Neutrino Microkernel chapter of the System Architecture guide. |
If you pass a non-NULL pointer for info, the functions store additional information about the message and the thread that sent it in the _msg_info structure that info points to. You can get this information later by calling MsgInfo().
On success, MsgReceivev() and MsgReceivev_r() return:
- >0
- A message was received; the value returned is a rcvid (receive identifier). You'll use the rcvid with other Msg*() kernel calls to interact with and reply to the sending thread. MsgReceivev() changes the state of the sending thread to REPLY-blocked when the message is received. When you use MsgReply*() to reply to the received message, the sending thread is made ready again. The rcvid encodes the sending thread's ID and a local connection ID.
- 0
- A pulse was received;
the IOV's first buffer contains a pulse message of type
When a pulse
is received, the kernel space allocated to hold it is immediately
The _msg_info structure isn't updated.
Don't reply to a pulse.
Blocking states
State | Meaning |
STATE_RECEIVE | There's no message waiting. |
The only difference between MsgReceivev() and MsgReceivev_r() is the way they indicate errors. On success, both functions return a positive rcvid if they received a message, or 0 if they received a pulse.
If an error occurs:
- MsgReceivev() returns -1 and sets errno.
- MsgReceivev_r() returns the negative of a value from the Errors section. This function doesn't set errno.
- A fault occurred when the kernel tried to access the buffers provided. Because the OS accesses the sender's buffers only when MsgReceivev() is called, a fault could occur in the sender if the sender's buffers are invalid. If a fault occurs when accessing the sender buffers (only) they'll receive an EFAULT and MsgReceivev() won't unblock.
- The call was interrupted by a signal.
- The channel indicated by chid doesn't exist.
- A kernel timeout unblocked the call. See TimerTimeout().
Safety: | |
Cancellation point | No |
Interrupt handler | No |
Signal handler | Yes |
Thread | Yes |

I have recently noticed, particularly with server 15 dust 2 that there are random patches of lag as if fps dropped to 30 or high ping.. It comes and goes but sometimes stays for quite a while...
This might be connected to the thread brought up by fimmwolf regarding pings, but I am finding these random spikes incredibly annoying and I know I am not the only one getting them.
Before anyone points out I need a new computer - I assure you I don't. This problem is probably a week and a bit old so its fairly recent and I haven't altered any of my settings.
Currently running at 300fps normally - (GTX560)
Rate = 30000
Cmdrate = 66
updaterate = 66
Is there perhaps a setting I should adjust or is the server just not holding tick/fps when it is full?

this is probably more a question for the devs but...
Will there be split screen in the sequel? (in the PC version).
I was kind of disappointed that the first game on PC didn't include split screen because I know many people are interested in it and I would really have loved playing it with a friend on one PC. Besides you built the game on the Unreal Engine 3 which makes it really easy to include the split screen. So why wasn't it implemented?
I was just reading this article on co-optimus in which Paul Hellquist talked about the co-op features and the split screen, so please tell me split screen is a feature on the PC as well!
Please take into consideration that many people want this feature (just look for the people searching for a split screen on the PC version and people trying to accomplish it by running the game twice and going to lan mode)

Classic Car News
The Mercer Cobra - metal in fine fettle
Image: Courtesy RM Auctions
The Cobra was already a fine hybrid of a car, a union of the venerable AC marque from the UK, and the brash US racer / entrepreneur, Carroll Shelby. The car that was born of these two, the Shelby Cobra, is a much revered, and much raced, car. But in a smaller chapter of Cobra history, one car was produced with another name preceding Cobra - the Mercer Cobra.
The idea for the Mercer Cobra sprang from the pages of Esquire magazine. In 1963 the editor commissioned automotive designer Virgil Exner to 're-imagine' models for four US marques - Stutz Super Bearcat, Duesenberg Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton, Packard Convertible Victoria, and a Mercer Raceabout. After publication of the magazine in December 1963, there were moves to realise the designs. The Duesenberg was built as a concept car, and a company established to take the car into production, but unfortunately the business collapsed before any cars were built beyond the prototype.
There, there was the Mercer. Mercer as a marque closed in 1925, its Raceabout, first built in 1910, had been a much admired car. Exner's reworking of the Raceabout was also built as a concept car, atop of a Cobra chassis, shortened to 108 inches. Under the bonnet was a 289 cu. in. V-8 engine, along with four-speed manual transmission, four-wheel independent suspension with transverse leaf springs, four-wheel disc brakes.
As it was, the Mercer Cobra was already a distinctive car on paper, but then the design was stepped up, due to the business area of the company that commissioned the car. That company was the Copper Development Association, and for me, it is this involvement, and design influence, that really makes this car special. Exner wove copper and brass elements into the dash, the instrumentation, engine, wheels, trim, exhaust - as you can see in the images accompanying this story, the metal elements, along with the sculpted pearl white metal of the Mercer Cobra's body, makes for a car that at the very least demands a second look.
The car was completed in 1964, and at first, toured the world for 10 years, promoting the use of copper and brass. Once its promotional duties were done it was purchased by Joe Bortz, a concept car collector.
Build costs were as follows. The Cobra components, "one left hand drive chassis complete with front and rear axle assemblies, including disc brakes, road springs, 5 road wheels, 4 with tires and tubes. Engine and gearbox supplied free, issued by Shelby American, Inc. with installation kit, including radiator, petrol tank, all supplied, packed to chassis, including wiring and instrumentation.", cost $3,019. The coachwork, carried out by the Turin-based Carrozzeria Sibona-Basano, was a further $10,400. The price the Copper Development Association paid for the commission was $35,000.
The Mercer Cobra came up for auction in August 2011, at the RM Actions event in Monterey. Its pre-auction estimate was $800,000-$1,200,000, the heights of which it didn't reach, selling in the end for $660,000.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the car was not designed to be driven, rather it was a showpiece of design… and copper. But the car has indeed been driven - sparingly - and was a hit when appearing at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
So there you have it, ClassicCar.com's first look at the work of Virgil Exner, a man whose work I think we will be revisiting many times.

Restorative justice process helps prisoners, victims
From Phil Haslanger's article in the Capital Times: Each of the 18 grads spoke a bit as they came forward to accept their diplomas from Sue Heneman, a Madison volunteer who was one of the teachers in the program along with Diana Shaw. What was striking was how many of them talked about becoming aware for the first time of the consequences their actions had on their victims, on the community. These men were here for big-time crimes - murder, sexual assault, running prostitution rings.

- The Millionaire Matchmaker Patti is Furious Thurs 9/8c
In the scene where I went to pick up my summons with my mom, there's no need to tell me, I KNOW I LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT. I blame some of it on editing, the rest was just me being immature. I wasn't excited for court, obviously. I didn't even remember saying that, HA! To quote my Aunt Caroline's blog:
"As reality show participants we have the unique opportunity to view ourselves from the outside looking in. I'm hoping that Ashley will look at her behavior along with her attitude towards Jacqueline and make a conscious effort to move in a positive direction."
Caroline is absolutely correct. Since we last filmed, I have grown a lot as a person. I still make mistakes along the way, but I definitely learn from them. Every time I watch an episode, I grow even more. As my aunt said, we can view ourselves from the outside looking in, and I have seen a lot that I need to improve. Most of it I already knew, but it's just another reminder of things I needed to and still need to change. I am young, but I am not a kid. I am going to be 20 in a few months. I am not going to use my age as a crutch for how I acted and have been acting. I know it was wrong to pull Danielle's hair. I am sorry for how it happened, but I do not regret it. Everything happens for a reason. I do not like Danielle, I have plenty of good reasons not to. I don't like her, and I never will. That doesn't mean that I didn't learn from the experience. I don't need to like her and forgive her for all she has done in order to learn something from all this. If you all still think that I'm a bitch for not feeling sorry for her that night, then fine. I tell things like they are, not how they should be. I'm not about being fake. I'm not going to sit here and say, "I wish her the best, I am so sorry, blah, blah, blah," like SOMEONE else does. To be honest, I don't wish her well. I just hope karma catches up with her one day. I have been trying to not talk about her, and for the most part I haven't. What some people have to realize is #1. I have people asking me questions about her, and the show, and I'm not going to ignore people's questions. #2. Seeing these episodes rehash a lot of angry feelings I have towards her and writing my blog and on commenting on my Twitter and Facebook is my way of venting. #3. Danielle is STILL currently trying to mess with my life. So, sorry if you have a problem with it. I do have a life besides being "obsessed" with Danielle. HA! I have a job. I go to school. I just recently started an internship in the city. I have another internship in the city coming up in the fall. I am looking into getting an apartment. Things are going REALLY well for me right now! I spend most of my free time with my boyfriend Derek, (we have been happily together for a year and three months now) and my amazing friends. I spend the rest of my free time with my wonderful family. I really am blessed, and I have been working hard to not let any negativity get me down. I am happy with how things in my life are going. I see a bright future for myself.
I'm re watching the hair pull episode on bravo today and you aggitated me to the point i felt a needed to say something, (and that usually only happens when i am watching Brandi Glandville, Gretchen Rossi, and the most recent one that seems to make my skin crawl is the OC wife Lydia and her judgement on her mom's pot smoking and her overzealous uptight and religious way.) but you don't need to here it, especially bc you didnt sign up for the show, your mom did. and if a camera was following my during my late teens and early twenties i'd be humiliated. It can't be easy. The smartest thing you did was get off the show, no offense really. Especially since you seem to act so impulsively.
Ashley,Ashley, Ashley... As a Mom I can't help but scream in my head (GROW UP!!!) The sooner you stop talking about Danielle at all the better! Nearly 20 does not give us immediate smarts. Years of experience does. It is soo much better to say nothing and stay in the smart lane and just listen. You can always think what you will but if you don't speak out on it, you save yourself alot of regret later on down the road. As one who knows, I wish you the best. Think first... Talk quietly to Mom.
How can you say you learned your lesson when your recent twitter and facebook page contains mean statements about Danielle and others? You even tweeted something about Christine have to post flyers all over school just to get friends to her party. Do you see how mean you seem?
You have learned from your mistakes? Your twitter and facebook accounts suggest something entirely different.
Hey Ashley, it's great hearing about the positive things going on in your life, keep it up. You have to ignore the negative. That pisses them off more than engaging them in their craziness. Remember that, IGNORE! Good luck with your internship(s). Hope you're having a great summer:)
You say you're so tried, etc but you still blog. Is Bravo forcing you to blog?
i am very disappointed and shocked how you seem to think assaulting anyone is funny - you seem to find amusement in the situation you put yourself in. You also continue to be obsessed with Danielle. You're a young girl who doesnt go to school, work, has no direction and ambition other than blogging about Danielle all day.
Whatever you can say about Danielle, her daughters turned out well. They go to school, work (model), sing and knows the value of charity. They actually DO while all you do is TALK. You say you're glad that Danielle isn't your mother. Well, I'm sure she's glad YOU'RE not her daugther too. Please get a life.
All you can do is learn from your mistakes and move on.......You are a young lady and part of growing into woman is making a few mistakes....owning up to them.....and moving forward. Your alright kid! Hang in and saty away from Danielle. She doesn't exist.
I am very disappointed your views about Danielle's girls getting away from their mother. How would you like it, if someone said that about your mom? I don't care for Danielle, but as a Mother, how mean can you be? I would hope that even if someone didn't like me, they would never say that my daughter should get away from me as fast as she can. Those are very talented girls and apparently very smart. Danielle is doing something right. Look at the mess you were in and I don't think it's your mother's fault at all.
well, what you said about Danielles kids not needing her was so stupid. She is their mother!! you xo at the end of a statement to them (that was nice by they way), and turn around and say ugly things about their mom? i dont understand your bullying? I dont care how old you are, you are acting like a mean girl. I cant imagine my daughters behaving that way over the age of 13.... im very disappointed in your blogs and wont read them any longer.
I am not a big fan of Danielle but you do not have the right to touch anyone! You do not have to like Danielle or wish her well but you should regret and feel sorry that you physically assaulted another human being. Everytime you try to justify your actions, I have less and less respect for you. Just say you are sorry and move on!
Good job Ashley. You said it all when you said 'editing'. Of course we are seeing the worst. You are young,,young people make mistakes,,we all do. If you have learned and moved on,,then good for you!! If 'things' with Danielle are still going on with you,,then its obvious that SHE is the one who has not learned. The woman likes revenge and she does not give up until she gets it. Nuff said. Im happy to hear you are working and continuing your education. All the best to you in the future!!!
I can't stand danielle either, but Ashley seriously zip it. I know you are young but you can't be so dense that you don't realize that everything you say and do is digging a deeper hole for you. You are making it too easy for Danielle and you are coming off really badly. Live your teenage life and stay out of the rest of this!
Once again you speak of things you know nothing of. You criticize Danielle for her parenting skills, who do you think is raising her beautiful daughters..yup her!!! I think she knows her daughters better than anyone. She has raised 2 beautiful talented daughters and it doesnt look like her ex is having much to do with that. Give credit where its due. Some ppl dont like to be on tv, maybe they are a little camera shy. So what? Please stop blogging and get off the show. Noone wants you here. I dont think she pushed Jillian to sing, I think she wanted to and got nervous which is to be expected. Not everyone is coddled such as yourself. Please Grow the eff up and take the silver spoon out of you ass..
Great blog, Ashley. I always appreciate your honesty and self awareness. Caroline's words were spot on, and I am glad you can recognize that. I'm so happy to hear you are working and going to school! That is what will make the most difference in your life. Good luck!
Hi Ashley, I really love your mom and entire family but seriously you need to just shut your mouth. You dig yourself deeper and deeper each week. You are immature, inexperienced in life and have no idea what your talking about. Originally, I was in full agreement with alot of other viewers that due to your age, your words/actions were not so much 'excusable' but maybe we could get passed it. But now you just don't quit and it is becoming ridiculous. WE GET IT that you don't regret what you did to Danielle. But in the real world, cooth and respect is a part of life. And to gain credibility and respect yourself, you have to act appropriately in public. Especially when addressing people older than you, even if you disagree with what they say or do. Please stop all this banter about how you don't regret what you did. I'm getting embarrassed for you. If you think you deserve to be treated like an adult then please present yourself like one. Seriously. I think Danielle is absurd and I love all of the rest of you, but your act is getting a little old sweetie. No disrespect intended at all. I'm just telling it like we see it from the outside. Love you & your fam!!!
Hey Ashley,
I just want to let you know that I love watching the show. I agree with you 100% about your attitude. I know I acted that way when I was your age. Not to say its right or wrong, just the way it is. But I think its GREAT that you can look back and acknowledge what you did and learn from it. WAY TO GO!
~Brooke, Ohio
It sounds like you are working to create a life for yourself with your job, school and boyfriend.--Good for you! I really hope you have learned from the experience--I wonder if you would have learned as much if people didn't post comments on these blogs calling out your behavior.. . . As for Danielle, you Manzo family and friends really need to let her go. She will quit bothering you when you quit letting her get a rise out of you.
Wow, you really can't stop! Danielle finally did something good for her kids and didn't even talk about all of you and here you go again! Why are you even on this show? Give yourself time to grow up and become a housewife and mother then blog all you want!
I have all the faith in you Ashley! My mom and I used to but heads all the time and now I'm so proud to have a close relationship with her and she's become one of my very best friends. I think people need to step back and not be so judgemental about you. How is it right to judge someone if you aren't in their shoes? Keep your head held high! You know the person you are and as long as you own that - nothing else matters!
OK - you were wrong for putting our hands on Danielle regardless of what she's done to you. You will have to pay the price for that because it is just what she wanted you to do and you played right into it. The way you speak to and about your parents is disgusting. If you were my daughter I would cut you off - no money/no car/no legal expenses/no education/no clothes/no nothing. By the way are you working? If not, why not? You chose not to go to school so do you think you have the right to live off your parents who you find so much fault with? You talk about counter-suing Danielle - who is supposed to pay for that? As a matter of fact, are you paying your own legal fees? If I was your Mother and you talked to me the way you talk to her, I would put you out in a fast minute. You need to grow up!
You need to have some respect for you Mom and Dad, it is so awful the way you treat and talk to them. GROW UP! Talk about something other then Danielle. It's getting really old.
When are you going to own up to what you did? The past three blogs there are many people that have disagreed with you and no they are NOT HATERS, for disagreeing with you. Grow up little girl!
I couldn't get through another one of your blogs because I can't figure out why you need to blog every week. You could stop commenting on Danielle by simply not blogging. Sorry you couldn't figure that one out on your own.
I am glad your life is going so well now but I don't think you get it about the whole Danielle thing...you should never put your hands on another person! Physical violence is never the answer and will get you in to trouble in life (obviously you must be aware of this)
You keep blogging that you have grown and are a changed person but you continue to rip Danielle to pieces and her mothering of her children..enough already.
Ashley, I like you! I think you're a great girl, and just learning from your mistakes! I think your mom is a great mother! You have a great role model in her!
Ashley... I wish you well... but I must comment on one of your statements... when you say, Christine and Jillian do not need Danielle for a mother.. they have their father and step-mother... that is NOT a true statement. No matter what kind of parents a child has they love that parent. They love them unconditionally! I'm sure the girls would just ask that you please stop making comments concerning their Mother, their relationship with their mom, etc. Hope all is well with you and good luck! Love the show... wish Dina would return...
Hey Ashley. I wrote you on your FB page & said we had the same birthday lol. Doubt you remember me but that's besides the point. I want to apologize for all the horrible things people have been saying to you. Why everyone badgers you & says. "JUST APOLOGIZE/MAKES ME HAVE LESS & LESS RESPECT FOR YOU. YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE TOUCHED HER." Blah blah. Okay first of all, every person who has ever lived has made a mistake. We make mistakes everyday. Just because you made a mistake, everyone & their dog acts so righteous like they are anyone to tell you to apologize for your actions. If you made a mistake & don't want to apologize, THAT'S UP TO YOU. Not to all these stupid viewers that think they can act better than you from behind a computer. We've all made mistakes that we were happy to make at the moment, or one's that were unintentional. We're human beings. I think everyone should lay off you & let you live your own life in peace. Enough attacking you for making your own choices whether they're right or wrong. I wish the best for you & your family. Take care girlie girl. xoxo
Whoops! Just read that you DO have a job! Your blogs are always so long about nothing I do a lot of skimming! These looooong paragraphs are just the testament to how you have not really grown much. They're filled with a bunch of excuses!
Ashley, while you're no longer a child, you still have a lot to learn at your age. What your parents are doing is admirable. They continuously try to help you group up and warn you about your actions.
All too often, parents these days don't really care about what their children and ignore them. That's why there are so many children that are screwed-up.
One day you're going to be a parent so you'll see why your parents are trying to help you. They love you and want the best for you. We all have gone through this as young adults. We all think we have the answer but don't.
Just as you would consult with a mechanic for car issues; a Doctor when you have health issues, your parents are there for any problems you may have. Trust them and listen to them.
I hope that you're not charged with assault as that's a crime if convicted, could make it very difficult, if not impossible, to find a good job.
You have a lot going for you. You just don't realize it yet. Talk to your parents and learn from them.
Good luck to you.
People need to get over the fact that she pulled that woman's hair! Hello, it's not that serious to waste tax dollars to take it to court. She should have just pulled Ashley's hair back and then they would have been even. Issues solved! lol
LP, she already does, that's the point of this. Did you even read her entry?
Ashley, I'm really proud of you, and that you've learned and are growing. That's what you say, and I really hope you truly are. :) So proud of you! :D
Life is about the choices we make. Sometimes we make good ones and sometimes we don't. Like you said, all we can do is learn and grow. Take care, Ashley. And congrats on your internships and school!
I feel like I have to play advocate for Danielle because, regardless of her part in the drama, it is 4 against 1, and she does not have 3 other blogs to cut and paste in support of herself. I disagree with your assessment of Danielle's interactions with Jillian. She was definitely nervous and scared as this was her first public performance. I don't think it had anything to do with Danielle pressuring her. Jillian specifically wrote and rehearsed this song to be performed at her sister's party. As a parent, Danielle realized that if Jillian backed out, she likely would have regretted it later. What I saw was Danielle giving her a healthy push knowing that this was all initiated by Jillian, she did not take it lightly, and she put in the rehearsal time. That she was able to handle her nerves in front of such a huge crowd tells me that in the end Danielle was right. Your feelings for Danielle are no secret, so you will see what you want to see.
Perhaps you have grown, but please do not speak for Danielle's children and say they don't need her. You know nothing of their private life together, and therefore should remain quiet with regards to her children.
Great post. You are your own woman and you own what you did. You're handling the situation beautifully in my opinion. I love that you tell it like it is . . . good for you! Forget the haters. Good luck on the rest of your endeavors and enjoy your great family and boyfriend. You deserve it!
I tried- I just can't read your blog anymore. I made it to the start of the second page and I can do no more.
As a 40+ women- mother of 2 sons, the oldest is age 21. I would say that your first real adult move should be to stop filming nor ever blog again.
You are only 18 and the world is a big rough place. None of this is doing you any good.
Take time to find yourself, grow and mature - like ALL 18 year olds need to do.
Love, love, love that you support TWLOHA!! I'm a recovering prescription addict & think its wonderful that a young girl like yourself would choose this as thier charity. You remind me a lot of my own daughter, whos still finding her way. You are blessed and you know that. :) Dont listen to the haters, sweetie. You are turning out great! Keep your chin up!
I think people really want to see you being super nice to your mom- if there is a season 3 than i feel that is how you should come off. you will gain more fans that way who will gladly donate to the charities you support.
Ashley, this should be a great time in your life. You are young, beautiful and talented. There is no need to bring drama into it - your Aunt Caroline is right. You can't change Danielle but you can certainly change yourself. I can see it in your blog. Good luck in life and love. Just stay away from Danielle no matter how hard she tries to get under your skin.
I see alot of myself in you ( when I was your age ). I wanted to be treated like a grown up, make my own money, be respected and most of all, act like a grown up. As long as your aunts ( I love them like my own!! ) refer to you as a child, kid or teenager , you will maintain that persona. Sure, part of that may also be to put things in to perspective with the " old lady picking on a kid" storyline going on here. After HS, I went to work in a hospital as a unit secretary. No experience needed. I found that I was surrounded by educated people who needed me, counted on me and respected me. Families and patients treated me kindly and with respect. I felt grown up finally. It boosted my self esteem and I entered nursing school at 21. I am now 42 and I have always been so grateful for taking that first hospital job. It gave me the chance to break out of the cute kid role and become a respected member of a healthcare team. I was told by a step father that I wasnt smart enough to amount to much and my good looks would fade. You are very lucky to have a supportive step father. My point is, you can turn your life around very quickly. I think because I surrounded myself with serious professionals ( doctors and nurses and technicians ) who are in the work place to work and take care of serious issues like life and death, I didn't have the time to be childish or petty. It certainly made me grow up and see the big picture in life. I'm not knocking other professions (so haters need not respond.) I have been in healthcare since I was 18 so that is what I know and have been exposed to. Good luck to you. You are a beautiful lady with a fabulous family. I just wanted to share my experience and let you know that it is easy to break out of the "kid" role in the family and find your adult way.
Danielle is exhausting but would there really be a show without the "drama"??? I enjoy watching the closeness of your family and the friendship with Teresa and her family as well...
Ashley keeping on the path your on currently, stay focused and enjoy life!!!
I don't think you have to feel sorry or regret pulling Danielle's hair cause like you have said everything happens for a reason and I believe that you have and are learning from your mistakes just like everyone else does. Keep being the person that you are and try your best and hardest to stay away from Danielle.
Take Care, ~Jessica~
Saying things and doing things are two different things. You seem understand what is right and what is wrong,but you should start digesting your parent's voice and start practicing it. You should start proving by action, but not only by words. And you will be just fine.

Well, Yamcha's late characterization was actually intended to be a middle finger.
Man, Natsumi really doesn't like it when Kotarou so much as talks with anything else with breasts.
I imagine that if Nagi/Lifemaker brings all those people that Eva Pwned back, then that's a pretty big list for various Ala Alba fighters to have to work themselves up to. I think only Ku, Kaede, Setsuna, Mana, Kotarou, and Asuna are going to remain the fighters though. Even though Yue's knight training and Makie's artifacts give them offensive potential, I think they're gonna be support types from here on out. Oh, and Chachamaru for fighters too, since she's got that kill sat and can always be rebuilt stronger than ever.At the moment I'd say that the fighters are at early Cell-saga Piccolo levels of importance.
They're not entirely useless but their importance is steadily decreasing.
With Fate heel face turning, one has to wonder what will become of the Fate girls. Will they end up fighting alongside Alba?
