Today we went to Strawberry Banke. We saw Mrs. Shapiro. We went into that house. And we had a tour guide named Ann. Ann took us around. We saw the hearth. And they scraped cinnamon. And I stringed green beans. And I grabbed a couple of apples. Her husband was the governor. And the governer decided something about Thanksgiving. He said we should have Thanksgiving that day of the year. Flip is a drink with beer. And they like cinnamon. And they use sugar. And I grated cinnamon. And they moved the spoon around. I'm telling you, I'm just trying to think of something. This hasn't been a good blog so far. I'm saying that.

FCS Diversity and Inclusion - PROPOSED RULE - MARCH 2011
Dear Mr. Van Meter,
Sixteen years ago I organized a CSA at 90th ST and Fifth in Manhattan, NYC. I go to great lengths to buy local and or organic food at all times.
Farming and husbandry are imprtant crafts that take time to be learned and need to be supported. We are making a mistake in letting Monsanto and the big Ag Companies control our food including the seeds that are needed to grow it.
My money is insignifacant in comparison to what FCA could do to support local food by giving just 20% of your budget to smaller farmers.
It would be smart to give money to leverage other public and private capital necessary to address the larger weaknesses in the rest of the local and regional food supply chain.
Have you ever considered having a farmer from a small or medium farm on you board? I bet some one from big ag is on you Board. Make the playing field even.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Charleston City Manager David Molgaard will recommend city council approve a contract with TRC Engineers Inc. to design the two-lane bike path along Kanawha Boulevard.
Members of a steering committee interviewed representatives from four Kanawha County-based firms interested in designing the bike trail from Magic Island to Patrick Street at the end of January.
The proposed price tag for designs is $280,000, Molgaard said.
The steering committee members opted to go with Charleston-based TRC Engineers Inc. because of the firm's "vision" for the bike path, he said.
TRC was the only firm that designed a bike path that had a green, vegetative buffer between the bike path and Kanawha Boulevard, Molgaard said.
"Our thinking going in was we would have to build the bike lanes on the vehicular side of the large concrete curb that parallels Kanawha Boulevard," Molgaard said.
However, TRC's design would suggest that the light poles along the trail be moved to the north, he said. The bike lanes would then be placed next to the pedestrian walkway just to the south of Kanawha Boulevard, Molgaard said.
The large concrete curb that currently separates Kanawha Boulevard from the existing walking/bike path would have to be eliminated, he said.
"This is much more appealing when you think about it," Molgaard said about TRC's concept.
The proposed green space between Kanawha Boulevard and the bike path isn't just visually appealing; it also serves a functional purpose, Molgaard said.
It is designed to keep cars from running onto the bike path or bikes entering the traffic lanes. It also helps deal with storm water drainage, he said.
Bollards could then be used to separate the two-lane bike path from the walking trail that will be left as it is, Molgaard said.
City leaders have always recognized that all four lanes of Kanawha Boulevard would have to be narrowed from 12 to 10.5 feet, Molgaard said. The grass median between the westbound and eastbound lanes would also be eliminated, he said.
The plan is to eliminate as few parking spaces along Kanawha Boulevard as possible, Molgaard said. The design firm will have to deal with what Molgaard called "choke points" where the lanes would shift.
"There's going to be a choke point under the railroad trestle," he said. "They'll (TRC Engineers) have to deal with that."
However, the firm could add additional parking spaces in a large triangular structure about halfway between Magic Island and Patrick Street to make up for any spots lost along Kanawha Boulevard, Molgaard said.
The city plans to spend about $1.7 million in federal funds on the bike path. This is money that was originally allocated to rehabilitate the railroad trestle spanning the Kanawha River into a bike and pedestrian bridge.
However, that project came with a price tag of around $20 million.
The city could also tap into about $700,000 of funds allocated by Rep. Shelley Moore Capito for the bridge project to help fund construction of the bike path, Molgaard said.
The funds for the design will be taken from the $1.7 million, he said.
If the project ends up costing more than the city has available, it will have to be built in phases, Molgaard said.
Charleston City Council must approve the contract before it is officially awarded.
It will take about four months to design the trail. The construction phase could take as little as five months, he said.
"We could have a new bike path by the end of the year," Molgaard said.

Seth Rogen tops Forbes list

Perez Hilton reported yesterday that Forbes magazine has compiled a list of actors with the most male leads in films over the last ten years, and Irish-American Seth Rogen came out on top with 10 leading roles in movies that earned a cushy $892 million total. The Irish were well-represented on the rest of the list as well, on which Matt Damon, Morgan Freeman, Will Ferrell, and Robert Downey Jr. also took spots.
Seth Rogen snuck into the hearts of American moviegoers with his endearing stoner aesthetic in movies like Knocked Up and Superbad, but he's breaking out of his chubby shell as superhero The Green Hornet in the film directed by Michel Gondry, now in post-production. I'll go see it, but I'm nowhere near as excited for that on the comic-book-turned-movie spectrum as I am about Kenneth Branagh's Thor, coming out in 2011 and starring dreamboat Chris Hemsworth.

Dude. Seth Rogen is CANADIAN. He's from British Columbia. He may be of Irish decent but the only thing American about him is his current pay-cheques. Do your homework...

This wasn't really the major TUMBLR comeback (more like throwback) that I had in mind, though I had my previous attempts at finding my way back to blogging, it isn't enough still. I admit I must have lost the ardor for inventive photo shoot conceptualizations — or simply the break for outfit-hunting and a couple of me-times, but y'know what they say, better late than never, right? Now I'm signing in once again!
Hashtag THROWBACKTHURSDAY (though it's a rainy Monday HAHA) because this blog, for the week at least, will feature throwback outfits that I failed to post online. So to start with, here's my pursuit at capturing the essence of the iconic musical "Grease", thus the title. (Scratch the fact that this was taken, for like, a year ago.)
Bought this brown leather bag on a thrift shop at a very low price!
I don't know why but every time I look at this photo, I can't help but laugh at my hilariously silly hair styling (in which apparently, I haven't that much of a talent). Though I happen to miss the copper-ness of my hair, I have no intentions of re-creating this whole image at all.
That's probably it for now.Still need to go to school today to prepare for tomorrow's enrollment process: you know the drill, got loads of paper works to do. I will be posting a lot of stuff this week though, so keep posted. Hype this look on LOOKBOOK.NU. Muchas gracias!

When she said on the phone that she wanted us to turn around and not come, I was OK with that. I can't remember whose bright idea it was to go over there anyway. We were rolling as a group, so if that's what they wanted to do, then fine, but we all were tired and hungry (not just me, but I was the most vocal about it). We had a five hour flight that got us to LA smack in the middle of rush hour traffic. It took over two hours to get to the house NeNe rented for us. When we got to the house, there wasn't anything to eat there. We still had to wait on Phaedra to get there before we left for NeNe's house. NeNe waited with us a little while before she even went back home. She couldn't have left before 8:30 for what was a 9:00 dinner, so she knew we would be late. Nonetheless there's a major difference being an hour late and being three hours late.
I didn't even change clothes, because I was ready to go. I have no idea what took so long, but it wasn't me this time. I remember it took Phaedra a while to get there and that was the main reason for the wait, but other than that I can't recall what took us so long to leave. By the time we did leave I was STARVING. When I'm hungry I get moody, silly acting, and my patience is super short. When we got to her house and saw her waiting outside to go off on us, I was like really? Why are we standing here and begging this woman to let us in her house? This is stupid! Even though we were late, I did feel like she could've still let us come in. I would have let them in if it were me. When I was walking over and peeping in the window, I was being silly. My point was if I came all this way to see you, then I need to see something dammit! LOL! But when I saw that some of the guests were still there, it pissed me off. At that point I felt like she was trying to show out on us in front of her LA friends. If it was over and everyone was gone, OK cool, but if people are still here, why can't we come in? So I was done looking like a fool in her driveway, and I was ready to go find something to eat at that point.
Baby names can be incredibly private and about the family, hence why stealing someones baby name is just the height of rude! When I was pregnant I thought of one person who was a huge influence on me and my daughter was middle named after her :) Phe was always an Ophelia as she rocks!!
If I have any future kids? Jared, Jacob or Joshua for boys, girls? dunno...but I dont plan on any more kids just now!!
I'm from UK and I love the show but unfortunatey we are well behind, the season we are on is Kim is just about to have her first son is this the one she callled Kash?
you are the most standup housewife in atlanta. your achievements reflect the successes you have made for yourself. i know you ain't trippin bout kim ---- shes a big liar.
Suing Kim won't change the fact that your biggest hit in a decade came from her mouth and not yours - poor Kandi!
If the record had gone out exactly the way Kim sang it that would have been a disaster. She can't sing and Kandi and her crew worked miracles.
@721parker AMEN
@balharbour ...really? That's the best you could come up with? Before pressing the "send" key, cool off and come back to it later because your response was clearly an emotional one. I don't know either of these women, however being a part of the entertainment industry or for that matter any legitimate business, the proof is in the bottom line...bottom line as in accounting/business. In addition to character, compare revenues generated by these women...dollar to dollar, year to year; (you pick the year/s) then return to the discussion. I recognize American curricula no longer requires passing "ethics" be a condition of being graduated from high school but your position strongly supports that argument!
Three hours late for a dinner party or anything else for that matter is rude, inconsiderate and inexcusable. This seems to be a habit with many of you on this show.
I agree with you when you said that Nene had a right to be upset with you guys, but she did still have people at the dinner. Her whole argument for not letting you guys in was because it was late, and she had to get up in the morning. If it was so late to have company, then why not kick out the guest that were there as well? But you all knew you were wrong! As for Kim, at the rate she is going she is not going to have anyone to depend on pretty soon, because she has messed over everybody(including her own parents). She never takes responsibility for anything. Now that she has her own show, all of a sudden she don't need any of you anymore. No matter how successful you become, you will always need a real friend. Not ones that you pay aka Sweetie!
Kandi Burruss It's times like this I wish I could pick up the phone and drop some wisdom on a sister...probably the same wisdom your mom would impart but coming from someone other than "Mom" makes it easier to hear. Well, "Your Big Sis", my BLOG name when I blog, would say, "If you want to name a future son Kash, DO IT! People enter our lives for a season. Considering the direction her life is moving compared to yours, by the time you decide to grow your family, Kim will be the last person on the planet you will be thinking about. She has shown you who she is and unfortunately, I don't see an asset on your side of the ledger that is a direct or indirect result the 'relationship' I have seen play out on television from the beginning of The Real Housewives of Atlanta". Move on without a backward glance! One final point, regarding your talent search, I reached out to you by way of your agent via ImdbPro. Please check in with them and if possible reach out to be by the end of March. I would like to offer suggestions in two areas that will set you apart from the mundane talent searches being launched almost daily and ways to tap into that passion artist often don't know how to articulate. Looking forward to a brief conversation about the talent search. Respectfully, "Your Big Sis".
I had the name for my daughter when I was 6 years old. We had a wonderful, smart, funny babysitter named Jackie and I decided I would name my daughter Jackie after her because she was such an inspiration to me at a tender young age. And I wanted my daughters name to be Jackie, to be called by Jackie at school, etc. Officially, we had to write Jacqueline on the birth certificate but we always called her Jackie. When I was in high school, I decided to name a son, should I have one, Glen Michael for reasons I won"t continue to wax on about to you kind readers. Point is, it does happen that children's names can be fixed upon long before a pregnancy. This note is in response to the questions posed by some people about whether people pick names before a child is even conceived. Yes, and more often than people think on the surface. Think about how many names, culturally are already predetermined like in the Greek culture -- 1st born son is after the paternal father, 1st daughter is after the paternal mother. Certainly this is not a hard and fast rule but these naming traditions still exist.
darkhours1 I don't think there is anything wrong with picking a name before conception. But the issue comes about when people think they have a monopoly on names and that it should be banned from anyone in their circle. Which to me is ridiculous. First of all, someone can't even guarantee 100% that they are going to be able to conceive. And if you can, what if they never have that son or daughter that they planned on? Should that name now be off limits to friends and family because someone called dibs?
UGGHH....last night's episode was icky overall.
Kandi, Guess what? I will bet you a cheeseburger, that someone had the name Kandi before your mama named you Kandi. So my question to you is, did your mother steal it from them? Kandi, leave that foolishness alone its just a name. I'm sure you have stepped in deeper puddles don't be so shallow. Much love, now go write another song!
QuePsiPhi But, if you tell a close freind what you are planning to name your furture child and that same freind names their baby that same exact name.... Come on now, that would upset anyone.
I love your duet song "I Stay Prayed Up" (I hope that's the right name.) is awesome! I can see why your father was so proud of you. It seems like song writing is so effortless for you. I had missed a lot of the Atlanta Housewives, so I watched from around 5:pm - 9:pm yesterday. I see some people say you are complaining about Nene not letting you guys into her house. I agree with her not letting you guys into her house at midnight, but wasn't Nene 2 hours late to her own party where Kim was trying to leave? I don't think you are a complainer, I just think you speak your mind unlike Cynthia who looks like the cat that swallowed a canary. I'd rather have the realness. I've noticed that Phaedra brings sex into everything like the continuous talk about her "donkey booty," her boobs, etc. and almost every conversation she has. I couldn't figure out why you guys went to a girl strip club and made such a huge deal out of it. I think strip clubs are pretty nasty to begin with. Plus, I don't really enjoy seeing people's crotches and butts shaking around. I'm pretty open minded too, but I think strip clubs are nasty. It seems like you ladies would have had much more fun if you went out to dinner and then dancing.
Kandi, why is it that everytime Kenya & Phaedra have words, you always seems to open your mouth like your are Phaedra's bodyguard. Mind you own business!! OH, THE LAST THING YOU NEED TO DO IS ARGUE & GET ANGRY OVER FOOD AND BEING HUNGRY. KEEP YOUR MOUTH CLOSED WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD AND GETTING INTO OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS!!!!!
I never thought that I would say this but you talk way to much sometimes There was reason for you to elaborate on what Cordell expects from his wife because it is the business of no one there. Not everyone wants to see a woman take it off.
Gingertee21 I agree Kandi didn't have to elaborate on the issue, for that matter no one did. However, Porsha comes off looking stupid as hell. I'm 42 year old man and i can tell you that Kordell is controlling the heck out of Porsha. She will never grow with his thumb on her neck. How does this sound, "he expects me to be home when he gets there." Really! Real men want real women not puppets. She is a 25 year old girl who has never had her own and does not know what it means to be an independent self made woman and if she continues to allow Kordell to treat her that way she will never know that feeling. Its actually scary. She actually said: "he let me." I was like oh my damn! This isn't 1945 women have evolved. Grow up Porsha and put your big girl panties on. Say what you want about Kenya, but she is here own woman with her own shyt and she doesn't answer to a man. Oh by the way this is coming from a man perspective.
QuePsiPhi Gingertee21 Yes, I agree but Kenya is also alone wanting a man in her life. Porsha has that and is happy with it. As she has stated on more than one occasion, she wants to be a housewife. She said she has always wanted to be a housewife. So I take that as her being happy with where she is in her life. Everyone does not want the corporate life style. She comes from money and she married money. I am sure if she wanted to do something else, she could. If Kordell decides to walk away today, she can still survive financially on her own which is why I think she is just looking to have a family right now and later she will decide if she should pursue something else. Let her have her fun! She is still young.
It isn't 1945 and I agree with Nene that I believe Porsha has dreams, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't want the life she has. There is nothing like seeing yourself on TV to get an idea of how you come across and maybe watching themselves will help Porsha and Cordell. Miss Kandi sure apologized this week, even Nene (queen of often ridiculous comments cooled it a bit) I am pulling for them even though some of the others watch themselves and remain clueless. I don't think that Porsha always comes out looking stupid. On many occasions, we have seen Porsha stand and speak on her own behalf and she does very well. She may not always be able to put her thoughts into words and her thoughts get a bit muddled but she'll figure it out. One thing is for certain, a few of the girls on there seem to have a problem with how well Porsha lives and they should get over it.
Khandi......the girls were looking quite bored @ your sex toy party!!!! But I must say that your home is looking fly on the next episode!!!!! You even dressed-up in Black, White, & Red to match the decor.....you go Ms. "Prayed-Up"!!!!!!!!!
No on can steal a name cause you don't own it.
Kandi I'm jut glad you're not being so damn messy this season.
Diamonddebbie66 Are you serious? This is Kandi's Messiest season yet. Not that she should or would give a damn about what I think but I'm going to give her a piece of my mind anyway. Kandi when you first started the show I loved your character. You always kept things classy, you stayed out of the drama. You would listen to people and only offer your opinion when asked. You were level headed and calm even when Nene was tripping with you. I became an instant fan and I was relieved to fine a likeable, real down to earth character on the show.
Now, your all on Pheadra's tip and I'm like wow really! I hate to tell you this but you are coming off two faced and insincere. I will give you an example of what I mean. decided to side with Pheadra over this workout video thing before you knew what the facts were. You are in the music business, you know all about the business aspect of things i.e contracts, distribution deals, production cost etc. In Kenya's defense she put countless hours of work on for Pheadra and Apollo, who were clearly trying to get something for nothing and did not want to pay Kenya what she was worth.
You felt the same way about Kim a few season ago when she did not share any of the proceeds from tardy for the party with you or the ring didn't mean a thing. You were pissed at how Kim handled things from a business aspect and it later soured your relationship with her.
Diamonddebbie66 Part 2, Kenya is did with Pheadra and Apollo what you should have done with Kim, Kenya, like her or not is a business woman who knows her worth and expects to be compensated for her efforts. I can't blame her for that. We all know it takes money to make money and Pheadra and Apollo wanted something for little of nothing and that's not the real world.
Case in point, Pheadra tried to have this bullshyt casting call at the Bailey Agency without brokering a deal with Cynthia, What did Cynthia do? She promptly stopped that mess and canceled that sloppy message the casting call that Pheadra put out over twitter and FB. Cynthia wasted no time explaining to Pheadra that she was going to be paid for the casting call and that things were going to be handled a certain way.
My issue with you is, you have all of a sudden become this big supporter of Pheadra, and it has made you come much like Cynthia looks when she is running up behind NeNe. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with some of Kenya's antics i.e how she handled herself at the party you threw for your new beau. I agree there is a time and a place for everything, and your party was not the time nor the place. However, I will say this for Kenya, right, wrong or indifferent she is uniquely Kenya and she makes no apologies for who she is. and she keeps it 100 even when its messy.
Get back to being the Kandi that we all loved in your first two seasons. Distance yourself for Pheadra she is hella messy and two faced and liar. Much love sista, I just had to give you a piece of my mind.
QuePsiPhi Diamonddebbie66 I think you are so wrong about Kandi. Phaedra was not going to do anything for free. Phaedra say she will pay her just not what she was asking. Every business person knows there is an negotiating process when dealing with any contract. Kenya did not like the deal and neither did Phaedra. What is wrong with saying NO to any deal you feel is bad? Nothing! Kenya took that NO to another level and stole the idea to make a point and then tried to make it out to look like it was Phaedra's fault as to why she stole it. Makes no sense at all. So in Phaedra's defense, Kenya should have moved on and not turn this into a showdown between the two. I think Kandi, as a business women, saw that and refuse to back it. I am a business women and is highly offended at Kenya for taking the idea and making it her own. It could happen to any of us and we should never honor or condone such actions. Especially women who are looking to be successful or who are already successful.
@lynda.drummings @QuePsiPhi @Diamonddebbie66 She didn't have to copy copy Phaedra but it was clear to me that Phaedra wanted something for free. Do you remember her telling Kendra that Kandi's fiancé would do some for FREE?
Kandi, don't get so hung up on Kim stealing your future child's name anymore because she's envious of you and your success. She's trying to compete with you, but losing a mile a minute. Keep doing you and don't get caught up in her mess or the messes of other women. It makes you look bad. Keep doing you.
It's times like this I wish I could pick up the phone and drop some wisdom on a sister...probably the same wisdom your mom would impart but coming from someone other than "Mom" makes it easier to hear. Well, "Your Big Sis", my BLOG name when I blog, would say, "If you want to name a future son Kash, DO IT! People enter our lives for a season. Considering the direction her life is moving compared to yours, by the time you decide to grow your family, Kim will be the last person on the planet you will be thinking about. She has shown you who she is and unfortunately, I don't see an asset on your side of the ledger that is a direct or indirect result the 'relationship' I have seen play out on television from the beginning of The Real Housewives of Atlanta". Move on without a backward glance! One final point, regarding your talent search, I reached out to you by way of your agent via ImdbPro. Please check in with them and if possible reach out to be by the end of March. I would like to offer suggestions in two areas that will set you apart from the mundane talent searches being launched almost daily and ways to tap into that passion artist often don't know how to articulate. Looking forward to a brief conversation about the talent search. Respectfully, "Your Big Sis".
The dinner / cocktail party was for 9. By the time, the honored guests showed up at 12, wasn't just rude but was more than likely the time it would've been wrapped up at the latest. Caterers are expensive etc. Nene was also gracious enough to find them amazing accommodations etc on her dime. But whatever............
Kim did not steal the name Ka$h from anyone. let's face it Kim was pregnant and she had a Son and named him Ka$h. There is no reason what so ever you can't name your Son IF you have a Son Ka$h also. It is not like she is your Sister. I know my Niece named her Son the same name as my Brother named his Son so years have gone by and no drama. They are blood related cousins and love having the same name.
I think if Nene had truly cared about making her guests 'comfortable', she would have ACCOMMODATED *them* and allowed for their rest after an obnoxiously LONG day of travel to come see her - INSTEAD of just trying to SHOW OFF with her fancy dinner (WHO, btw, has a FORMAL dinner at 9PM?)
That 'dinner' was ALL aout Nene's EGO - NOT her generosity!
I understand NeNe being upset. I would have been too. BUT.......she should get over it. If she has been late to your events I call that Karma. Just sayin!
Kandi, Kandi, Kandi.....STOP making excuses & blaming everyone for your poor behaviour. If you were hungry while waiting for Phaedra,,ORDER A PIZZA. Im sooooooo disappointed in you, you acted like a 5 yr. old. And your comment about going back to the house that NeNe rented for you...classless. Get your butt straight girl, I needf you to be my favorite again.
Kandi, I don't care how tired, hungry or whatever you are. You behaved SO badly at NeNe's and in the interview that you should be ashamed of yourself and hope that your daughter doesn' see how rude you were. To be that late to someone's home is inexcusable. Period. How rude to the hostess. How would you have felt if you had gotten ready for everyone and then waited 3 hours +? Not much like making them a snack, I would imagine. You should have apologized. And you still aren't. That speaks volumes about your character. Won't be watching the new show. Glad your porn line in doing well and your are engaged. Keep that up, 'cause you sure aren't "movin' on up".
Nene was acting her usual self-centered, arrogant self.
Kandi has been established as an artist for YEARS and I can just imagine how silly some of Kandi's friends and associates thought Nene was for being so PHONY for the cameras.
Believe me, if Ryan Murphy traveled cross-country to see Nene and was late, you think she would have 'showed her ass' as she did?
@imarelic100 @WrightsvilleBeachHousewife Say what you want but Nene has calmed down a lot and became very successful. The house she rented for them was beautiful and she had a right to be upset. The people the hamburgular saw were the caters packing and cleaning up. Nene is not on drugs, not robbing or stealing from anyone therefore it would hurt to be happy for her.
Kandi, you have always been one of my favorite housewives....grounded, talented and with success and money that YOU worked hard for and deserve. I hope that everyone saw the dinner incident as a teaching moment. EACH person is to blame and several of you have talked about going to the house after NeNe said don't come...with you and others going along with the crowd. Cynthia said she was on time and was 'taking one for the group.' Each of you are adult women who can think for herself...sounds a little childish I hate to say. A big question for me....you said there was no food at the place NeNe rented...where did all the food come from that Kenya was cooking the next morning?
One of the things I like about Kand is that she is truly down to earth and engages in real "girl talk" with these ladies as if they are her real friends. No, she does not have a patent, copyright etc on the name, Kash. But expressing frustration that someone she befriended "stole" her baby name is simple, fun girl talk. Keep doing you Kandi.
Kandi, as talented as you are you still remain common. In that I mean when you knoe better you do better. Why would you call out how many times anybody else was late, You were extreamley late! That;s not cool and it was very disrespectful to your host. It doesn;t matter how much money was spent on you ladies. I would also like to say how hard it is to see my black sisters still actibg stupid! Not even woman enought to say" You know we are wrong and we are sorry" Your trying to justify yourself! You have to much money to behave so COMMON! Get your act together Kandi and get some class about yourself! Real Talk!!!
Remember everyone. Money don't buy you class. There are people in this world with much less of a bank account, but more class.
People cant steal a baby name. A) you didn't create name Kash B) real babies
trump imagery babies. C) if the name means that much to you use it any way
Kandi, one of your problems is you LOVE to dish it out but then you can't take it. You stir up more trouble then anyone on the show.
Where do some of these people learn English? It's kind of funny but shockingly bad at the same time. Kandi, you are my favorite Atlanta Housewife because you are real, intelligent and funny. My daughter and I met you at a BrandsMart which was way outside of Atlanta. You were so kind to everybody even though it was late in the day. You were taking pictures with people and signing autographs. You never lost your smile!
Amanda18 "Where do some of these people learn English?" LOL! It cracks me up how people can get so nasty, but can't properly articulate sentences! LOL!
Nikki2389 Amanda18
I know. Sometimes I will be on the Oprah site reading some of the comments about how Oprah is a hypocrite or how she never says the word God. Then you listen to one of her talks and she says God the whole way through it. I just love Oprah and Kandi because they are very honest. Honesty is big with me.
I bet you will just cry like you did about the song . When Kim would not pay you. And say again it okay . You want get messy with her . Like you done with other's you and Phaedra . You two always do underhanded stuff . The way you two did with Marlo . After she said that you was a big mama .You acted like someone sent you her mugshot . To put it out there. You did the same thing with Sheree . You and Phaedra went to her houses to show that it was nothing there . You two always are messy . With other can't wait for the reunion show . To see how fast you cry when Kim get on you . And watch you cry it going to be so good and funny
Good points. Regardless of Kandi claiming to be doing her thing and making money, Kandi is a follower, not a leader, just like Nene stated.
Who is she following?

Proud of the Company We Keep: Hedge Fund Charities
March is a rewarding month for Eze Castle Integration because we have the opportunity to support two of our favorite philanthropic organizations – Hedge Funds Care and 100 Women in Hedge Funds – in their work to improve the lives of children around the world.
We have again signed on as a Hedge Funds Care global sponsor and are looking forward to attending this week's Open Your Heart to the Children Benefit in NYC. This year the New York Committee of Hearts is awarding the HFC Founder's Award to former Yankees manager Joe Torre for his accomplishments with the Joe Torre Safe at Home Foundation, which is dedicated to ending the cycle of domestic violence.
Here is a video of Joe Torro talking about his experiences and foundation.
At the end of the month (March 23 to be exact), Eze Castle Integration has the honor of sponsoring the 100 Women in Hedge Funds –Stanford PACs Conference, which is the first hedge fund conference to donate all net proceeds to philanthropy and focus on a double bottom line -- how investors can innovate both absolute and social returns.
Momentum around the conference is building and, as a committee member and Bostonian, I'm proud to see this one-of-a-kind conference being held in Boston. All conference proceeds will support The Alliance for a Healthier Generation organization, which was founded by President Clinton's foundation and the American Heart Association. Plus, Seth Klarman, president of The Baupost Group, is the keynote speaker.
To whet your appetite, here is a great video of Seth Klarman discussing investing and philanthropy.
Last but not least, in preparation for this great event, Eze Castle Integration has committed to donate $1 to The Alliance for a Healthier Generation for every new 'Like' we receive on Facebook in March 2012. Like us now!
We hope you'll consider supporting these worthy organizations as well.

By Gregory Phillips Staff writer
A rumored Walmart Express in Eastover edged closer Tuesday night when the Cumberland County Joint Planning Board rezoned 3.9 acres just off Interstate 95.
The board approved the change after delaying it a month over concerns about sewer. Any business at the site would operate on a septic system but be required to connect to public sewer whenever the Eastover Sanitary District extends lines past the property at I-95 and Murphy Road.
The landowners have said they granted Walmart an option to buy the land. Walmart has not responded to questions, but documents filed with county planners describe a 11,972-square-foot retail store, a gas station and parking.
Walmart Express, a new concept for the retail giant, is a smaller store that sells groceries, produce, general merchandise and over-the-counter medicines.
The Eastover landowners first sought to rezone 24.9 acres in hopes that more development would follow Walmart. They narrowed the request to 3.9 acres to allay the board's concerns about sewer. Board member Sara Piland of Eastover, who moved to approve the request, said when it came up last month she was opposed rezoning such a large tract without sewer in place.
A couple who live near the site spoke against the rezoning but said afterward they felt it was a foregone conclusion.
Lisa Johnson said limiting the rezoned area to 3.9 acres was the best she and her husband could hope for. They keep horses in a pasture close by.
"We're not looking forward to the development," she said. "I don't feel the town of Eastover needs it."
The rezoning will go before the Eastover Town Council on Sept. 4.
James Sherrill, the lawyer representing the landowners, said that the sale should close after that, but he added that he had no idea when.
"It's an unknown," he said.

Plant Delights Nursery E-Newsletter November 2013
Dear PDNers,
Greetings from Juniper Level Botanic Gardens, where a low temperature of 26 degrees has left the garden feeling and smelling like fall. I was just noticing the strong smell of chrysanthemum foliage yesterday, whose oils were released after the recent cold snap, like collards after a frost. So, where did the year go? It seems like just yesterday we were enjoying epimedium flowers and now the early hellebore season has already begun. As we age, it seems like the world spins faster on its axis every year.
I apologize for being silent so long, but I've been sequestered away in our underground horticultural bunker, writing the 2014 Plant Delights Nursery spring catalog. Now that the main text is complete and the photos have been selected, I'm playing catch-up on long overdue writing. We're very excited about our 2014 catalog, which will head to the printer in a few more weeks and will subsequently arrive at your home shortly after the first of the year. We're wrapping up our 2013 plant shipping season, which ends the week of November 25-29. Plant shipping will resume in mid-February, weather permitting, but if you encounter a horticultural emergency between now and then, please let us know and we'll see if we can help. Read More

Bono and his wife, Ali Hewson, reportedly had a VIP lunch with first lady Michelle Obama and her daughters on Tuesday at a pub outside Dublin, Ireland.
Bono and Ali were spotted shortly after 1 p.m. local time entering Finnegan's Dalkey, supposedly one of the couple's favorite restaurant spots in their hometown just south of Dublin.
Moments later, the first family, minus the president, arrived to enjoy a final meal of traditional Irish fare before departing for Germany later on in the day.
Mrs. Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha have been taking in the sites of Ireland while President Obama is busy in G8 Summit meetings in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The White House has not commented on the first family's luncheon.

The Teachers College Featured in
U.S. Department of Education Video
The hallmark of The Teachers College experience is its involvement with 34 professional development schools -- public schools that are modeled after teaching hospitals -- where teacher education students do much of their learning in real world situations, working with faculty and public school teachers.
Students complete 100 hours of supervised work with young people prior to entering the teacher education program and by the time they are seniors their program is 100 percent field-based. ESU graduates stay in the classroom. Ninety-two percent of ESU teachers remain in the classroom for over three years—almost twice the national average—and principals rate alumni highly on a wide range of knowledge and skills.
The success of this approach drew attention from the USDE and in Summer 2011, they released this video.

Today's post is from Ken Hughes, a research specialist with the Miller Center's Presidential Recordings Program and the producer of Fatal Politics. This post originally appeared on the History News Network.
On the thousands of hours of White House tapes Richard Nixon secretly recorded, you can hear him order exactly one burglary. It wasn't Watergate, but it reveals the real root of the cover-up that toppled a President.
On June 17, 1971, (one year to the date before the Watergate arrests, by impure coincidence) Nixon ordered his inner circle to break into the Brookings Institution. "Blow the safe and get it," the president said. "It" was a file of secret government documents on the 1968 bombing halt.
"What good will it do you, the bombing halt file?" asked National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger seconds after the president ordered his top aides to commit a felony.
"To blackmail him," Nixon replied. President Lyndon Johnson had halted the bombing of North Vietnam less than a week before Election Day. Nixon claimed LBJ did it for political reasons, to throw the election to his vice president, Hubert Humphrey.
Kissinger knew better, since he had inside information about the talks. Having worked on an abortive bombing halt deal for Johnson in 1967, Kissinger used his connections with LBJ's negotiators then to gain access to the Paris talks in 1968 -- access he used as a secret informant to the Nixon campaign.
"You remember, I used to give you information about it at the time," Kissinger reminded the president. "To the best of my knowledge, there was never any conversation in which they said we'll hold it until the end of October. I wasn't in on the discussions here. I just saw the instructions to [Ambassador Averell] Harriman," the chief U.S. negotiator in Paris. (Kissinger's words on tape contradict his later claim that he didn't even have access to classified information at the time.)
Nixon had his own reasons to realize that the bombing halt file didn't contain blackmail material on Johnson. He knew from classified briefings during the campaign that Johnson had remained unwavering in demanding three concessions: If Hanoi wanted a bombing halt, it had to (1) respect the DMZ dividing Vietnam, (2) accept South Vietnamese participation in the Paris peace talks, and (3) stop shelling civilians in Southern cities. Throughout the negotiations, LBJ didn't budge from these three demands. Hanoi remained equally adamant, insisting on an "unconditional" bombing halt -- until October 1968. Then Hanoi suddenly reversed course and accepted all three. Johnson didn't decide the timing of the bombing halt; Hanoi did.
If the bombing halt file didn't contain dirt on Johnson, what made Nixon want it desperately enough to risk impeachment and prison? Over the decades, evidence has slowly accumulated that Nixon had a far more compelling motive: the fear that the bombing halt file contained dirt on him.

For years, the island of Regalo, has been protected by her father's "organization," the Arcana Tarocco, whose success is due in no small part to the members' unusual skills with Tarot Cards, not to mention the more usual guns and knives. But now, unexpectedly, her father has decided to retire and, while the fact that his position will be filled by the winner of a series of duels doesn't worry Feliciti , the fact that he's decided to throw HER into the contest as part of the prize certainly does. Especially since some of the contestants are her cousins, which is keeping things in the family WAY too much! Fortunately, our lady shark has two aces up her sleeve: as the head of the Swords Division, she's eligible to compete for herself; and with her favored Card, The Lovers, she can snoop into the minds of her would be suitors cum rivals. It's just too bad they have their own card tricks! Roll the Batchelorette, the Sopranos and that crazy gypsy from the fair into an insane anime calzone, half-bake thoroughly and you've got a lot of spicy mayhem ahead in LA STORIA DELLA ARCANA FAMIGLIA! (Sentai Filmworks)
GIRLS UND PANZER — You may have heard of kung fu, but the girls at Oarai Academy practice gun-fu - really, really BIG gun-fu, in fact. It's called Tankery, and it's the martial art of operating armored tanks! And even though the Tankery program at Oarai has been defunct for years, the student council has taken a sudden interest in the art and no one they set their sights on is safe. Which is how Miho Nishizumi, who transferred to Oarai specifically to stay out of tanks, gets drafted to join the newly revived Tankery divison. But it's not all bad, because joining her in Team Anglerfish are her new found friends Saori, the highly receptive radio operator; Hana, a flower arranger turned gunner; Mako, their brilliant, but chronically sleepy driver; and combustible tank fangirl and loader Yukari. They may not be on the half-track to fame and fortune, and maybe some of them would rather shop for tank tops than become tops in tanks, but once their focus is locked and loaded, they're absolutely driven. It's mad, it's metal and mayhem is guaranteed! It's GIRLS UND PANZER! (Sentai Filmworks)
LITTLE BUSTERS — When tragedy struck Riki Naoe as a child, he was rescued from grief over his parent's deaths when four other kids "recruited" him for their group - the "Little Busters." Now in high school, Riki and the other Busters are still fast friends, and though their vision of being heroes for justice may have faded, they'd still do anything for each other. Which is why Riki is now on TWO special missions. The not so secret one: recruiting new members so the Busters can form a baseball team. Preferably FEMALE recruits, as the current dude/babe ratio is an inconvenient 4 to 1. The OTHER mission though, that's the strange one. Because Riki and Rin, the group's singular girl, are receiving odd messages, delivered by cats, concerning the existence of a "secret world" and assigning them tasks they have to complete. Were their youthful dreams of being crusaders not so fanciful after all? Or is there something even more vital at stake? Between steeling his courage to talk to girls and dealing with his own narcolepsy, Riki may just need the strength of a superhero to solve the ultimate mystery of the LITTLE BUSTERS! (Sentai Filmworks)
BTOOOM! — In the blink of the mind's eye, Ryuta Sakamoto suddenly finds himself transported from playing the hit BTOOOM! video game to being stranded on a mysterious island. He's equipped with a day's worth of provisions, a bag of bombs, a strange crystal embedded in his left hand and a huge gaping hole in his memory. But it doesn't take long to figure out what's going on, especially after the first person Ryuta meets tries to kill him. Someone is attempting to recreate the ultra-violent BTOOOM! game in real life, and the island has been filled with an army of other unwilling players, each armed with one of the multiple variants of explosive weapons called BIM. Fortunately, Ryuta's an ace BTOOOM! player, but this insane version of the game has no reset switch or second lives, and there's only one way off the island: kill seven other people before they can kill you! Can Ryuta repurpose his game-based skills fast enough to survive this ultimate battle royale? The action is ultra-violent, ultra-graphic and ultra-lethal as the ultimate blood sport is unleashed in BTOOOM! (Sentai Filmworks)
SAY I LOVE YOU — Friends suck, and trusting someone is just setting yourself up. That's the lesson Mei Tachibana learned after her heart was ripped out and only a shell was left where a girl used to be. But unlike so many, she found an easy solution: she'll never make another friend. Ever. Okay, maybe that's not as easy as it sounds, but it's worked for Mei. Or at least it did. Until handsome, charming and annoyingly popular Yamato Kurosawa came along. Because for some freakish reason, he seems to like Mei. He even gave her his phone number! As if she would ever call him. Except she did. But only because she needed help. Still, he came. He actually came. And now things are getting way too complicated. Mei's no princess in a tower. She's not waiting for a knight in shining armor to rescue her. So why did he have to kiss her and confuse everything? And why are those three little words so hard to say? Between heartbeats, behind trembling lips, and unspoken with every breath, the specter of betrayals past, future and present now haunt them both in SAY "I LOVE YOU." (Sentai Filmworks)

Intel Dials Up $31 With Smartphone Push
NEW YORK ( Trefis) -- Amid the slowdown of the PC market in 2011, Intel(INTC) managed to maintain its dominant position as market leader of the PC microprocessor industry. Despite revenue declining by 7% quarter over quarter and 2% year over year in the first quarter, we are of the view that the company performed well in a tough market and has a lot in the current year to look forward to.
With the much awaited entry in the smartphone and tablets segments, the company competes with established ARM-based players such as Qualcomm(QCOM) , Nvidia(NVDA) and Texas Instruments (TXN) .
See our complete analysis for Intel .
Intel Powered Smartphones
In January, Intel made announcements with Lenovo and Motorola at CES to launch Intel-powered smartphones, followed by announcing designs for Orange, ZTE and Lava at the Mobile World Congress in February. This week saw the launch of XOLO X900, world's first Intel-architecture-based smartphone, by Lava International.
Follow TheStreet on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook.
For more than a year Intel talked about making an aggressive push into the mobile computing space, challenging chip designer ARM Holding's dominance in the lucrative smartphone and tablet market. This year marks the entry of the largest chip maker in one of the fastest-growing technology segments of smartphones and tablets. Lava will soon be followed by Lenovo, which plans to launch its Intel-based smartphone by the end of May 2012.
According to research firm IDC, the smartphone shipments will grow from 494 million in 2011 to 1.16 billion in 2016. For 2012, it predicts that the worldwide smartphone shipment will reach 660 million.
Intel's share in the smartphone and tablet markets is not very significant; so we do not see the launch having a significant effect on its current price. However, considering the growing potential in this segment, the future launch of other Intel-based smartphones could increase its share in the smartphone and tablet segments.
Recovery From Hard Disk Shortage
Due to the flooding in Thailand in October 2011, the HDD market witnessed a year-over-year decline of 4.5% in 2011. The resultant supply shortage led to a downward trend in the industry which extended until first-quarter of 2012. As per IDC, the PC shipment grew by 1.9% in Q1 2012.
We estimate that this year will witness an annual growth of 4.7% for PCs (excluding netbooks). The improved supply of hard disk drives, combined with improving job growth in the U.S. and the stabilization of sovereign debt issues in Europe, could lead to an upside to our estimate.

The Harmony between Food and Wine
The Harmony between Food and Wine by dan phillipe
Wine is a social drink which should be enjoyed in the company of friends and .. food.
The right combination between food and wine is a source of ultimate bliss for every connoisseur. Both wine and food can benefit from the right pairing. The right wine can accentuate unexpected gastronomical aspects of food and vice versa, wine can shine in a new light when accompanied by the right dish. In order to savor the splendor of such combinations, one does not need to frequent expensive restaurants and buy overpriced wines. Rather, when combining food and wine it is one's intuition and curiosity that are of paramount importance.
Most rules for agreeable food – wine combinations date back to the 19th century and are made by Read More »

Holiday shopping may have inspired you to make a little money back after investing right spent so much on presence now you -- to invest properly but retail -- over the past few months.
-- -- looking a little bit expensive compared to other alternatives like reits real estate investment trust.
That have exposure to the American consumer David Henry is Kimco Realty CEO -- was a REIT focused on retail.
They pay a juicy dividend that you've got a great story here because your stock is -- 18% year over year so you're looking pretty healthy right now.
The inference.
That because people seem to be doing OK as far shopping is concerned even -- shopper track today downgraded what they expect -- for Christmas sales.
But -- stores are doing well.
You're doing well because you can -- -- leases and you -- maybe -- a little bit more.
Exactly right the whole shopping center industry has been getting better over the last couple years.
Powered by their consumers but still spending so.
Retailers especially the national retailers are growing like crazy having stores and that's good for a shopping center -- language okay look at your stock -- -- along with some of the other ones Arcadia and some of the names that are out here in the space but specifically to you.
You're in a whole bunch of different regions on the map they say real estate is all really pretty localism -- which areas looking at best for you right.
What we are -- national company and that we concentrated on major markets like the New York City metro we have eighty shopping centers here in the New York City metro.
We have a 140 shopping centers in the Baltimore Washington Philadelphia.
Category we're about forty in South Florida.
-- about twenty in San Francisco so these are major cities live work and play is one market better than another.
-- the coasts in general are looking out looking pretty good although Chicago also was is it is a major metropolitan area Texas is a good strong market for us good growth good employment growth.
12% of your properties are in California you know California's.
Financial situation is pretty -- at the moment on the California following very closely are you seeing any erosion there any worrisome trends not so far -- again it's very hard to building California so if you have an existing shopping center it's probably doing OK if you're in some of those major markets like Los Angeles or -- but what's my next question a lot of these guys -- there in your space are are sprucing up existing malls.
There isn't as much outright building or are what you guys do what what is your choice here.
Well it's it's very simple the economics aren't there to justify -- new building new rents haven't recovered to the levels they were several years ago so in terms of buying land.
Getting in entitled getting its own and then building.
It just doesn't make economic sense it's much easier.
To renovate and expand something you already you know we're showing which retailers are in most of your properties and -- Wal-Mart Sears Home Depot PetSmart Costco Bed, Bath & Beyond -- -- -- and then you've got.
They they lower and dollar tree TJ Maxx and Ross.
I don't know you know.
It is one area doing better than another right now.
Well I think the analogy of a bar -- really works that the low when the discounters are doing very well and in the very high and the Neiman Marcus is -- doing well as the people in the middle that are still struggling for the right business model with our last thirty seconds you've got as we said a juicy dividend about four point 3% to.
But it's we should let people know taxed at a regular and come right so if something -- in the fiscal -- discussions and dividends or tend to hiking you're already getting taxed at what 35% exactly right so we will make -- student looked a little better as taxes on.
Ordinary C -- go up.
Absolutely that's an important point folks and it's certainly better than say for example your savings account.
Or a treasury yields -- -- point 3% -- what's not to love it's good to see you thank you live happy holidays thank you David.
Is with the Kimco Realty CEO David Henry thank you very much closing bell.

In response to MoreRings' comment:
In response to stillgridlocked's comment:
The O-Line sucked today against a superior D just like they always do.
Brady was sacked 4 times, hit 8 more times and hurried all day. Only 4 years ago Brady played a good portion of the season with 3 fractured ribs and a broken finger. He is tough as nails but yeah he's getting older.
All the more reason why the Pats should have made better efforts to surround him with more reliable weapons.
How about a running game?
Take that up with coaches. I mean he dialed up one of the worst game i have seen. They didn't even attempt to pass it in the rain to Brady's strength which is short to intermedate timing routes over the middle. The didn't use TE in and realistic way and BB did his benching of todays best runner over a fumble. Going for the long ball all day in the rain on first down was stupid... play action was getting Brady killed... lets do it again. The screen almost worked.. . lets never call another one all game.

Obama Gets Real on Income Inequality
President Obama's speech on Economic Mobility on Wednesday, was a much needed jolt of reality about the state of our economy and income inequality in America. I spent the past two weeks researching the topic of poverty in America in the past sixty years. Suffice to say, I was glad to read Obama's speech after writing an eight page report on the topic of poverty. Paul Krugman wrote a must read piece in the NY Times today. Krugman said: Mr. Obama laid out a disturbing — and, unfortunately, all too accurate — vision of an America losing touch with its own ideals, an erstwhile land of opportunity becoming a class-ridden society. Not only do we have an ever-growing gap between … Continue reading
