Best bars in Val d'Isere
Val d'Isère is well-known for being part of the amazing Espace Killy ski area. With fantastic skiing and killer après, it is always a customer favourite for a ski holiday. However, with all that choice for après, you can be a little spoilt for choice! So we have put our heads together to provide you with a list of our favourite bars to visit…
Image provided by Cocorico
A great après scene and located at the main lift area of Val d'Isere, with live music and a great terrace area. Drinks are reasonably priced so it tends to be packed with seasonaires and young groups, making for a very lively atmosphere!

This is a bit more relaxed than Coco Rico's and often has a solo singer performing at 6pm. Get in at 6 for some of the cheaper prices (but they do increase throughout the night!) Definitely a good idea if you want a quieter scene for your après drinks!

Don't want to miss your favourite team playing? Head to Pacific for a few drinks and watch some sport! With tons of screens, this is a very social bar without the overly loud music!
100% compulsory visit, even if you sit on the slopes and just watch the entertainment. Be prepared to get a second mortgage if you are buying a round of drinks though! It is very busy hot spot for keen après folk after a day on the mountain. Insider tip: leave just before it closes as the run down is a highway of 'merry' skiers and the bus back into resort is an experience to say the least!

For your late night après, this is a hotspot and is a Val d'isere institution. With great music, and a really good crowd, the drinks are a little pricey but nothing more than you would expect from a nightclub!
Image provided by hg2.com
A great venue for some sport on the TV, coupled with a good happy hour and a sun filled decking. This does have a lot of regulars who stake out their seating areas, so make sure you get in early for the best spots!
Image provided by La Baraque
We must confess, this is a secret spot but a massive staff favourite! If you come out of our luxurious Chalet Hotel Le Savoie and turn right heading out of town, on the right hand side is a bar with a large fire pit outside. Nextdoor to that is our favourite bar in town, La Baraque. With over 40 types of Gin and paying around 8 euros you just cannot go wrong. The general consensus is you can often be the only English people in the bar, which is a novelty to say the least in Val d'Isère! What a great place to be, in France surrounded by French people drinking a huge variety of Gin.. worth 8 euros a drink every time!
Fancy learning more about Espace Killy? Then make sure you check out our detailed pages on the entire resort here (Val d'Isere) and here (Tignes)! Check out our latest and greatest deals, where prices for Val d'Isere start for as little as £464pp*!!!

By Koichi Tasa, University Archivist
I am currently working for the first time to archive a collection of electronic records with my colleague Laura Capell, Head of Digital Production and Electronic Archivist. The commemorable organization of focus is UM's undergraduate LBGTQ+ group SpectrUM. We will archive messages and e-flyers documenting their organizational efforts in support of UM's lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgender, queer, and questioning community.
The collection was inspired by President Frenk's December 2015 message on campus initiatives for inclusiveness towards LGBTQ+ students. I contacted SpectrUM to join their mailing list and have continued to save electronic records for the use of future students and researchers. We will make a decision shortly on how to provide access to the collection. For the time being, you can find more information on the collection in the finding aid.
Working on this collection made me wonder about earlier gay and lesbian organizations at the University. Some historical information is available in The Miami Hurricane Archive Online. There I found an article from 1985 titled "Gay Student Seeks to Inform" by Sal O'Neill. O'Neill, who was a senior at that time, wrote about an earlier group called The Gay Alliance, formed in the early-to-mid 1970s. "The Alliance had weekly rap sessions in the Alliance's office in the Student Union. They also sponsored regular dances at the Rathskeller which were open to the public," he writes, also noting significant challenges– "fears of exposure and violence, and the apathy that any group must contend with"–that brought about its demise. In the 1980s, students could connect in an off-campus group called the Gay and Lesbian Youth Group, which offered "emotional support and social interaction to gay men and lesbians not available elsewhere up to the age of 25."
This was before SpectrUM, which was organized in 1992 (under the name Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Club). Its purpose is to foster pride through education, awareness, advocacy, and social events and to support all members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies. It's remarkable to see how far this mission has come, and we look forward to the opportunity of sharing its continuation with future students and researchers.
Stay tuned for announcements about future archival efforts. In an upcoming project in February 2017 we will work with groups such as the Black Alumni Society and United Black Students to curate a full exhibition at Richter Library on UM's black students and faculty. The exhibition will coincide with the Black Alumni Society's First Black Graduates Project. We look forward to collaborating with these and other campus organizations to honor their accomplishments.

Rimfire competitions?
Are there any rimfire competitions in Texas and Where? me and my buddy would really like to enter as a team or as idividuals and i can't find anything, so any help would be appreciated.
Don't know where in Texas you are, and it's a big state.
anywhere is fine but i live in brown county
I have a couple of sites that might help you.
Ruger® Rimfire Shooting Competitions
CMP - First Shot Online!
Hope these help.
I'm so bummed they don't have any rimfire competitions in arizona
I assume you are NRA members, look in the back of the monthly NRA magazine for area shoots. Or call the NRA for shoots in your area.
Kind of broad----"rimfire competitions".
Check with the local clubs and ranges near you. Sometimes
the do "League" matches, both pistol and rifle.
Around here (Pacific Northwest) there are monthly steel matches
at several ranges, and they have divisions for both rimfire pistol
and rimfire rifle.
Ruger Rimfire matches are popular in some areas.
22 bullseye competitions, 22 silhouette, 22 benchrest, there
are LOTS of games played with the rimfire gun! Get out there
and ask. Local gunshops, indoor and outdoor ranges, someone
will know whats going on locally.
I've looked for a few months and still can't find a place in arizona
IHMSA (metalic silhouette) has a rimfire division. Arizona is in Region 6.
Arizona probably has more matches/competitions/ranges per population
than most of the country. Where the heck in Arizona are you?
Apparently I'm not good at finding things I came acrossed 1 of those 2 sites

Some limitations of the export to 1-2-3 can be overcome by supplying a WK4 extension, but the 254-character cell limitation still exists, I believe.
There is a capability provided by Microsoft to add Excel option to the import/export options in Notes, but IBM does not support this "feature."

Robbie Keane: Loss will kill Irish hopes
Republic of Ireland captain Robbie Keane believes his nation's World Cup dream will die if Sweden win at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Friday night.
• Maher: Moment of truth
The in-form LA Galaxy striker will lead Ireland into battle against Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his Swedish team-mates knowing a win would leave them in pole position to claim a play-off place in the bid to qualify for next summer's World Cup finals.
Yet Keane accepts his last chance to appear in another World Cup will almost certainly fade if Giovanni Trapattoni's men are beaten on home soil or in the subsequent qualifier against Austria on Tuesday night.
"These two games are make or break and these are the games that the players have been looking forward to," states Keane.
"We kind of knew that it was going to come down to this between ourselves, Sweden and Austria, so it's a game, certainly, we can't afford to lose, there's no question about that.
"People are talking about going in and trying to get a draw, but you go into every game trying to get the three points. Obviously, it depends on the situation, the circumstances of when you are playing and we will be going into the game to try to get the three points.
"It's certainly a game we are going into to get the three points, but the most important thing is certainly not to lose the game."
Trapattoni has named a positive line-up for the qualifier against Sweden, with Stoke's Jon Walters, West Bromwich Albion striker Shane Long, Wigan's James McClean, Everton new boy James McCarthy and Keane all named as starters.
QPR's Richard Dunne makes his expected return at the heart of the defence, for what will be his first international start since last summer's Euro 2012 finals.
Ireland team to face Sweden: D Forde; S Coleman, R Dunne, J O'Shea, M Wilson; J Walters, G Whelan, J McCarthy, J McClean; S Long, R Keane.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Michael Barley-Abbott's review published on Letterboxd :
This review may contain spoilers.
What a film! Starts with a mystery. Someone is arranging accidents around town, but who is it? And why? Well...we never find out, but it gives us plenty to think about. The film is set in Germany just before the first world war, and we see life in a village where the children are pretty much all abused in different ways by their families. It seems to be showing us, or attempting to explain the rise of the nazis by showing us their childhood years. How do you raise evil? After watching it you might have this sense of slight disappointment that the mystery wasn't solved, but then it stays with you, and you can't shake it, and you end up thinking about it more and more. That's powerful film making!

The global water services industry is set to double to $1 trillion in annual revenues by 2020 as companies address the growing problem of water scarcity, according to a new BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research report called "A Blue Revolution – global water" based on the collective views of 35 analysts, covering 60 companies from 18 countries. The report is the latest thematic megatrend piece from BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research following previous reports on obesity, energy efficiency, safety and security and a previous report on water. Water is on course to be scarcer than oil by 2030, with demand outstripping water supply by 40 percent. Close to half of the world's population will be living in water-stressed areas. Insufficient freshwater, uneven distribution and climate change are factors limiting the supply of water, while demand is growing in homes, businesses and farms around the world. Unless more sustainable water management practices are adopted, 45 percent of projected 2050 global GDP at 2000 prices could be at risk – equal to $63 trillion. BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research has identified the companies it believes are in the strongest position to benefit from the global dynamics of water supply and demand. The report highlights how Asia and South America are poised for the strongest growth. With public finances under pressure, the private sector will have to provide more funding. The report estimates that 30 percent of global investment will come from private sources by 2016, compared with only 16 percent today. The report outlines three themes of addressing water scarcity, explaining the challenges in each area and the potential solutions that companies are developing. The themes are: Water Treatment, Water Management, and Water Infrastructure and Supply. It identifies companies that have the greatest exposure to the megatrend of scarcity.

Bug (my daughter) has never had stranger anxiety. She has always been incredibly friendly and outgoing. This is a blessing and a curse! I love that she is friendly with everyone, but makes it incredibly hard to teach her about stranger danger. I don't want her to be unfriendly, but I also don't want her to be overly friendly with the wrong person. The thing is…you just never know what can happen. According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, an estimate 800,000 children go missing every year. Honestly, I can't wrap my head around that statistic!!! It is one number I wish was zero!!
As Bug's mom it is my job to educate her on appropriate safety tips and protect her. Every year around the holidays, my since of protection heightens. I think it is because we are out more and in larger crowds. These crowds make it so much harder to keep track of Bug and for her to get lost (believe me, she like to wander!). Before we hit the mall, I always remind Bug to stay close and if she does get lost who she needs to find for help.
Here are some great tips to review with your children before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season hits!
1. Teach your children their full names, address, and home telephone number. Make sure they know your full name.
2. Instruct children to keep the door locked and not to open the door to talk to anyone when they are home alone.
3. Caution children never to accept a ride from anyone unless you have told them it is okay.
4. Take your children on a tour of your neighborhood and tell them whose homes they may visit without you.
5. Teach your children how to locate help at theme parks, sports stadiums, shopping malls, and other public places.
6. Teach your children that if anyone tries to grab them, they should make a scene and make every effort to get away by kicking, screaming, and resisting.
I know there are other great tips out there, but these are a few I am working on with my 4 year-old. The safety tips for your child will vary with age, so make sure you teach the appropriate ones.
Another important item for child safety is to have an updated photo and finger print of your child. This would be used in case they were abducted or lost. There are many great organizations that offer fingerprinting. You can visit the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for more information.
I was e-mailed some information about a fingerprinting/safety event coming up in South Central Kentucky. The event is free and I thought I would pass the information along to you.
• Parents can attend Operation Kid Safe and receive digital fingerprints of their child. The parents will receive a form that is ready to hand to law enforcement in an emergency.
• The event is taking place at Mansfield Chevrolet-Buick in Russellville, KY on Friday, Nov. 2, 2012, 12:00 pm-6:00 pm and Saturday, Nov. 3, 2012, 10:00 am-4:00 pm.
• For more information you can visit Operation Kid Safe's website
Does anyone else have some great tips you use to teach your child safety tips? Please pass them along.

Factory block heaters are not installed on these models. If an aftermarket heater has been installed the following procedure will most likely work. There are two basic types, one for the oil and one for the coolant. The oil heater usually just slips into the dipstick tube or replaces the oil drain plug. The following procedure is for the coolant type.
- Remove the negative battery cable.
- Drain the cooling system.
When draining the coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted by ethylene glycol antifreeze, and are quite likely to drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantity. Always drain the coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or several years old.
- Remove the block heater in the same way as the freeze plugs. Some heater units have a bolt that must be loosened or a V-Clamp that must be removed to remove the heating element.
- Disconnect the heater connector and remove the heater element.
To install:
- Coat the new heater with sealant, then install as removed.
- Fill the engine with coolant, connect the battery cable. Start engine and check for leaks.

Personal Catholicism: The Theological Epistemologies of John Henry Newman
and Michael Polanyi
by Martin X. Moleski, S.J.
Washington, D.C.: The Catholic University of America Press, 2000
(222 pages; $54.95, cloth)
reviewed by Joseph Kroger
Part of the cultural legacy of the scientific age in which we live is the widespread assumption that doubt, uncertainty, and tentativeness are cognitive ideals, whereas belief, certainty, and commitment are to be looked upon with suspicion. Since knowledge is commonly thought to be limited to what can be clearly specified and objectively demonstrated, it is considered intellectually irresponsible to hold any belief or give assent to any truth without being able to provide clear and explicit grounds for doing so. Such is the morality of knowledge in a world governed by the ideals of critical reason.
Martin Moleski's Personal Catholicism examines and compares the work of two unlikely and unacquainted allies in the development of an alternative "post-critical" view of what it means to be rational and responsible in the world today, a view that directly challenges contemporary epistemological assumptions of distrust, objectivity, and detachment. John Henry Newman (1801–1890), a convert to Evangelical Christianity, then an Anglican priest, and eventually a Roman Catholic cardinal, characterized his life's work as a confrontation with "religious liberalism" or the idea that there is no positive truth in religion. Michael Polanyi (1891–1976) was born in Hungary the year after Newman died and pursued a career in medicine, physical chemistry, and economics before turning to philosophy to resolve issues regarding the nature and justification of science in a free society. Polanyi converted from Judaism to Catholicism and was later drawn to Protestant thought (specifically that of Paul Tillich), but unlike Newman, he was not personally religious in any traditional sense.
What Newman and Polanyi did have in common, however, as Moleski's work makes abundantly clear, was the countercultural conviction that the path to reliable knowledge is not rooted in doubt or based on explicit premises, but proceeds rather from fiduciary commitments and vague apprehensions. Both Newman and Polanyi were unconvinced by the modern form of rationalism that seemed almost irresistible to most of their contemporaries. For that reason, each remained to a certain extent an "outsider" to the dominant intellectual traditions of their day. Both men began by reacting to the damaging effects of the ideal of technical/instrumental reason on their own specific disciplines (theology and natural science) and ended with nothing less than a radical challenge to the paradigm of rationality itself. They saw, in Moleski's words, that rationality is "greater than logic" and gave persuasive descriptions of the informal operations of the mind that lead from tacit assumptions to true and certain judgments.
The Illative Sense & Tacit Knowledge
Moleski's book is divided into four major parts. The first two chapters are basically expository and present chapter-by-chapter summaries, first of Newman's Grammar of Assent and then Polanyi's Personal Knowledge. The third chapter compares Newman's notion of the "illative sense" with Polanyi's idea of "tacit knowledge," the key terms each use to characterize the foundation and the process of rational thought. The fourth chapter discusses what Moleski sees as the significant implications of these converging post-critical perspectives for understanding religion and theology.
Newman developed his notion of the illative sense in his major epistemological essay, Grammar of Assent. For Newman, the illative sense meant the power by which the mind generates and evaluates inferences. (The terms illative and inference derive from different forms of the same Latin verb that means "to carry.") Moleski locates Grammar of Assent in its biographical context and clarifies its purpose and structure. He then traces the line of argument whereby Newman accounts for the capacity and the legitimacy of holding beliefs to be true even though they can be neither fully understood nor explicitly proven.
While the title of Newman's essay suggests that he will provide "rules" for the formation of judgment, Moleski shows that his purpose was precisely the opposite. There are no explicit methods or recipes for the mind to follow mechanically in its pursuit of truth. Rather, intelligence is guided towards the act of assent by an anticipatory and informal illative sense, which operates in a deeply personal way, beyond any technical rules. Thus, Newman argues against the attempt to formalize the conditions of legitimate assent. There can be no higher certitude than that given by the illative sense itself, and for this reason, all judgments are ultimately acts for which we must take personal responsibility.
In his theory of tacit knowledge, Polanyi provides a similar account of reason and responsibility. Moleski again begins by providing a biographical context for Polanyi's major text and then explains its purpose and structure. Personal Knowledge is a long and philosophically challenging work, and Moleski's methodical chapter-by-chapter summary is helpful in focusing on Polanyi's central thesis that all knowledge is personal because all knowledge is either tacit or rooted in tacit knowledge. Polanyi sees knowing as an art, and like Newman, he attends to the role of intellectual passions and creative imagination in leading the mind forward in the pursuit of truth. He argues that behind all the formal methods and specifiable procedures of scientific inquiry lie the informal and tacit operations of the scientist's own mind. Explicit logical processes are effective only as tools, and the rational application of such tools is always a personal performance, an act of ultimate self-reliance. Polanyi's goal is to describe and account for that personal performance.
Moleski argues that what Newman calls the illative sense and Polanyi tacit knowledge are basically the same thing. Both are describing the irreducible and transcendental operations of intelligence, although, according to Moleski, Newman was focused more on the capacity of the mind and Polanyi was more concerned with the outcome of that potency. Still, as Moleski reveals, the similarities of their respective conceptualities and intentions are quite remarkable despite obvious differences in context and terminology. In addition to arguing for the basic identity of the illative sense and tacit knowledge, Moleski notes the intersection of other aspects of these ways of knowing: the role of conscience in the formation of judgment, the personal character of intellectual commitment, and the idea of knowing as an act of "comprehension" (or assembling potentially meaningful parts to form an actually meaningful whole). Moleski also points out the similarity of Newman's and Polanyi's self-reflective methodologies. Neither attempts a formal proof or explicit demonstration of the operations of intelligence, but rather, each invites the reader to consider his own experience and to reflect upon his own intellectual performance in order to discover for himself the irreducibly personal character of knowledge.
Convergence & Disjunction
While Moleski's stated aim is to show the convergence of Newman's and Polanyi's fundamental insights into the tacit and personal dimension of human judgment, he does not seek a facile harmonization of their conceptual schemes or gloss over their differences. This becomes especially clear in the fourth chapter, where he shows how these two authors arrive at very different theological positions despite their similar cognitional theories. While both Newman and Polanyi allow for an apprehension of the reality of God by an illative sense or tacit powers of thought, for Newman, faith and revelation are directly related to propositional truth claims in theology. For Polanyi, despite his use of religious imagery, they are not; and the reality of God remains in the realm of the mystical and inexpressible.
It is only in his brief conclusion that I would take issue with the author's view of Newman's and Polanyi's theological significance. Moleski seems to emphasize the disjunction of religious faith and theological reflection, contrasting two (almost unrelated) forms of knowledge and equating the illative sense and tacit knowledge only with the former. The result is not only to privilege faith as a tacit way of "knowing more than we can say," but also to suggest that the language of theology is incapable of expressing the reality apprehended by faith. In Moleski's own words, "the God that can be put into words is not the real God" (182).
It seems to me, however, that the illative sense and tacit knowledge help to explain not inarticulate "faith-awareness" in contrast to articulate "theological doctrine," but the reasoning process that moves from the former to the latter. To put this point in classic Augustinian terms of "fides quarens intellectum," Newman's illative sense and Polanyi's tacit knowledge account neither for the fides (religious faith) nor for the intellectum (theological doctrine), but rather describe the quarens, the practice of inquiry itself.
In other words, the significance of Newman and Polanyi, I believe, is found not so much in what they tell us about implicit or inarticulate faith knowledge in contrast to the explicit propositions of theology, but in how they describe the practice of intelligent reasoning (not only in theology but in any scientific field), that is, as a practice that begins with a faith commitment and culminates in articulate propositions or truth claims. This is a minor and somewhat technical point in light of Moleski's overall project, however, and does not diminish the important contribution he has made in focusing attention on two philosophers whose cognitional theories have radically recast notions of objectivity and subjectivity, tradition and innovation, and faith and reason in a way that helps resolve many of the unhealthy tensions afflicting modern forms of fideism and rationalism in Christian theology today.
Joseph Kroger is Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Theology in the Department of Religious Studies at St. Michael's College in Colchester, Vermont. He is a longtime member of the Polanyi Society and has published articles on Polanyi in Philosophy Today, The Journal of Religion, and Tradition & Discovery (the Polanyi Society periodical).

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Chez Lafayette. Ms. Beth made is a very warm and cozy weekend. The room was nice and clean and bed was very comfy. I can't say enough about the breakfast!! It was magnificent! She way out did herself with choices and taste was wonderful. It was also nice to be able to have her sit with us and converse and just find out more about Jefferson and her life. We felt like family. Thank you Ms. Beth :)

I stayed at Beth's for one night on short notice and I could not possibly recommend this darling bed and breakfast more highly. Beth was so very hospitable and welcoming from the very start, helping me with arrangements prior to my stay and the care didn't stop there. Beth made sure I had everything I needed and then some during my stay. My room was wonderfully cool on arrival and the fridge constantly stocked and restocked with icy water. The whole place is beautifully decorated and maintained and if Jefferson itself wasn't such a great town, I could have very easily spent my whole stay flitting between Beth's porch and my sweet room. It is in an ideal location - nothing is farther than 5 minutes away! Beth helped me plan my visit in Jefferson and was a delight to talk to. She tailored breakfast to meet my dietary needs and boy, I will be hard pressed to dine so well again. I can offer no greater endorsement than to say that Beth provided me a home during my travels, a perfect example of southern hospitality, and on leaving, I found myself homesick for a place I spent just one night. I am eagerly anticipating my next visit.

So enjoyed our stay in the Granddaughters Cottage! Miss Beth graced us with a most delicious breakfast and heart felt stories. So looking forward to staying here again. Such a memorable experience. Thank you again, Miss Beth. Sue & Cathy

My husband and I met up with another couple in Jefferson so we rented both rooms at Chez Lafayette. Both rooms were beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. The garden/courtyard was very pretty. Breakfast made by Beth who was a gracious host was delicious. I would definitely recommend this B & B to anyone who wants an outstanding B&B experience.
5 on January 22, 2016
B&B is located in the downtown area so you can walk for antique shopping and food. Beth was a very gracious host and provided an excellent breakfast. Accommodations were cozy and comfortable. Will definitely stay there again when we come back to Jefferson
3.2 on December 11, 2015
Stayed during the annual Candlelight Tour of Homes. Location is convenient to all downtown attractions and a short drive to this year's homes (was on the tour once in the past). Friendly atmosphere. Stayed in the ''Granddaughters' Cottage" which had plenty of space for three of us.
4.6 on November 18, 2012
Chez Lafayette provided a cozy home away from home for our getaway. Granddaughters' Cottage allowed for privacy, while our hostess, Mrs. Crawford, prepared a delicious meal and opportunity for pleasant, interesting conversation during breakfast. We were within walking distance from any points of interest.
5 on October 03, 2012
Our hostess/owner, Beth, was very hospitable! This town has so much to see and to -- our stay was superb!
5 on July 31, 2012
We stay at Chez Lafayette Bed and Breakfast, every year. Sometimes twice a year. We stay in the cottage. It is always so nice and clean. Beth makes you feel so right at home. She cooks the best gourmet breakfast in the world. Chez Lafayette is the best bed and breakfast in Jefferson, TX.
5 on July 30, 2012
Chez Lafayette is a favorite of ours. Ms. Crawford has a beautiful house filled with antiques, and is such a gracious hostess. Everything you need is there waiting for you, and the breakfast is to die for! We have stayed here twice and plan on coming back. Very. very nice!
5 on July 29, 2012
The Chez Lafayette is a very cozy B&B right near down-town and in walking distance of Jefferson's main attractions. We really enjoyed Parker's Chamber which is a very cozy room with a comfortable bed and private entrance which opens to the front porch where we sat and drank coffee and watched the squirrels play in the morning. There is also a really nice flower garden on the side of the house not to be missed. Our host Beth, was very gracious and welcomed us with some homemade chocolate candy that was just sinful & made us a wonderful breakfast the next morning. I highly recommend the Chez Lafayette to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway! David & Katie Ziegler

My wife and I visited Chez Lafayette at Christmas. The home was beautifully decorated and the innkeeper was very welcoming. Her breakfasts are amazing! We stayed in the guest cottage and it was roomy and private. The location is perfect for walking to shops and dining establishments. We will definitely return for another visit.
5 on July 27, 2012
Chez Lafa yette is a great place to stay in Jefferson -- walking distance to antique shops and restaurants. The breakfast was wonderful and in addition to the nice rooms and lovely parlor, this home also has a beautiful garden for visitors to stroll through and a welcoming front porch with ample seating.
5 on July 26, 2012
My stay at Chez Lafayette was by far the most memorable I ever had! In addition to the cleaness, the food was to die for! I will definetaly book my next stay in Jefferson, Texas with Ms. Beth Crawford!
5 on July 26, 2012
Chez Lafayette is the B&B of choice for me and my wife when we are in Jefferson. Its central location next to the city library and only a block or so off of downtown makes it the perfect place to experience all that Jefferson has to offer. Although it only has two rooms, one in the main house and a larger room detached and in back of the main house, the hospitality is that which one would expect from a much larger operation. The innkeeper, Beth Crawford, provides unforgettable gourmet breakfasts and is a wealth of information about this quaint, historic town. I've stayed at several B&Bs and hotels/motels in Jefferson, but for the last six years, this is the only place I now stay.
5 on July 25, 2012
I have stayed at Chez Lafayette three times within the past 18 months and it will be the only place I will stay in the future when I visit Jefferson. The property is ideally situated so you can park your car and walk to all the shops and restaurants in old town Jefferson. Beth, the innkeeper, is a wonderfully charming hostess and you can't beat her gourmet breakfasts. She is also very familiar with the town and surroundings so she is full of good information. There is one room in the main house with a private bath, in which I have stayed during my past visits. The room is very comfortable, clean and inviting. The cottage out back is equally as nice and is perfect for a girls trip; it is a bit larger and has multiple beds. Whatever the occassion, you can't go wrong with Chez Lafayette.

Phil squashes the carbs and calories out of your spaghetti
Thu, 13 Sep 2012 23:37:28 GMT —
"The reason they call it spaghetti squash is because when you cook it and you take it out of the shell, it looks like spaghetti squash," said Phil. "And it's very, very healthy."
Phil is helping you create some of his favorite dishes in your own kitchen every week on UpNorthLive Tonight on ABC 29&8 at 6:30 p.m.
This week Phil is sharing his recipe for Spaghetti Squash:
Cooking Directions:
Cut squash in half and scrape out seeds. Place in a water bath.
"It steams it a little and makes it nice and soft and tender," said Phil.
Bake squash at 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes, or until soft.
"It's very, very delicious," said Phil. "It's good by itself or it's good with grilled fish or chicken."
If you can't wait until next week, stop in at
Phil's On Front
in downtown Traverse City. Phil's on Front is located at 236 East Front Street.

$6AUD at Chemist Warehouse for 200ml. GEM OF A PRODUCT.
I was looking for a product to replace my HG Maybelline Make Up Remover Eye & Lip (40ml). Which ticks all the criteria listed below.. except at 40ml and a twist off cap.. I began to search for a better bottle size and packaging.
Packaging is good. Bottle is squeeze-able.
To avoid pouring out too much, do NOT squeeze! Shake so the two liquids are combined, quickly tip over onto makeup remover pad to control how much product is coming out.
About my eyes: I have eczema around my eyes. Have had a history of getting chalazions (A chalazion is a small bump in the eyelid caused by a blockage of a tiny oil gland. Symptoms: Eyelid tenderness; Increased tearing; Painful swelling on the eyelid.) and I have finally found a product that is safe enough to use on my eyes!
Previously, I have tried products which have promised to be suited to sensitive eyes... however they're so gentle... They remove only powder eyeshadow leaving the waterproof mascara (essential; my eyes water), cream eyeshadow, gel eyeliner and the whole shebang!
This removes everything. EVERYTHING. It's so cheap! And my eyes do not sting or anything. They feel soft after I have removed my makeup unlike other formulas that have left my eyes feeling tight, slightly red and dry. I also use this on my lips, as I get eczema around them too. Removes all my lipliner and lipstick stains.
Have already purchased backup bottles. Definitely recommend! To sensitive and non-sensitive eyes!
EDIT: Make sure to shake the bottle thoroughly before use. Pouring the liquid onto the cotton pad must be done quickly before the two layers separate. As a result, I find myself squeezing the bottle! The only con is pouring out too much.

This loose powder is as fabulous on the face as it is fine. Unlike some mineral cosmetics which use nano-particles, the Earths Beauty line uses arrowroot as the base. Arrowroot is fine and not ultra-fine like the controversial nano-paraticles. It works well for those who are sensitive as there are very few ingredients.
This shade is a medium dark.
Size: 22 ml / .75 fl oz
Ingredients: Organic/wildcrafted maranta arundincea (arrowroot) powder, iron oxides.

A 110-year-old independent shop is to close after losing business in the recession.
John McEwan, 70, owner of Art Shop Framing, in Church Walk, said he would be sad to close his doors to loyal customers on February 8.
The business, originally named The Art Shop, opened in the High Street in 1904 and John took over the business in 1980.
He renamed it Art Shop Framing and moved to Church Walk in 2000.
John said his beloved business lost profits during the recent recession and it was not viable for him to keep it open .
He said closing the shop was 'like moving house' after working there for 34 years.
He said: "It will be a very sad day when we walk out and leave.
"I will miss the people. The customers are also friends. If people are just passing by they will come in to have a chat."
John will use his retirement to play golf and do volunteer work.
He added: "It'll be daunting because it'll be the first time I've not had a job."
John's wife Hilary, 70, who did the books for the shop, thought it was the town's oldest independent shop.
She said: "So many people go to the shop and have been going for several years.
"We want to say an enormous thank you to all the people that have been coming in for 30 years. You get to know their children and their grandchildren.
"It's a big social centre."
Hilary enjoyed being involved in big milestones in customers' lives.
She said: "Somebody brought in a teddy with no eyes, one ear and a hanky had been sewn onto it to make its body. She wanted it to be put in a frame which says 'Lucy's first love' and she was going to give it to her son-in-law on their wedding day. I thought that was so lovely."
Sheelagh Owen, from Horley, said she would miss coming in every few weeks to get her cross stitching work framed. She said: "I just come in here for a chat if I'm passing. I've been coming in for years. I will miss it."
What are your memories of the Art Shop? Do you know any older independent shops which are still open today?

VIDEO: Saturday Night Live comics mock Kim's divorce
"I'm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents," a stunned Humphries, 26, told Us shortly after Kardashian filed papers in an Los Angeles court. "I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work."
Though the NBA star says he was blindsided by his new bride's filing, a Kardashian pal tells the new issue of Us the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star saw red flags before their lavish August 20 nuptials.
VIDEO: Watch Kim and Kris' body language in this look back on their romance
"She knew it was wrong before they were even married," a Kardashian insider tells Us. "They were not seeing eye to eye and it felt wrong."
Nearly calling off the wedding, Kardashian went through with her vows at the last minute because she did not want to disappoint those around her.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's shortest marriages
"I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn't get off when now I know I probably should have," Kardashian blogged Tuesday. "I got caught up with the hoopla and the filming of the TV show that when I probably should have ended my relationship, I didn't know how to and didn't want to disappoint a lot of people."
Confirms a Kardashian pal: "She felt like she couldn't turn back. She got in over her head. She made a big mistake and she knows it."

Extra Ballast on-the-Hoof
With kids in college its sometimes hard to find a crew to boat with.
If well-placed, the Newfs can help generate a good wake.

Thanks! Forgot these were posted here! I'll post a few more, since you liked em.
The newfs were bred for boating / water rescue, so they actually are naturals. They are kind of like hairy mega-versions of labs, webbed feet and all. Just a little less energetic.
Lucy, the one thats marked like a border collie, now weighs about 135 lbs. The markings are called "Landseer" when they show-up in a newfoundland.
Ed, ours also like to launch off the front. Its hard to get em up onto the platform, though. Plus, they've torn my seats in a few places.
I would think Border collies would be perfect boating companions. We have a service that uses them to keep our company's lake free of Canadian geese. Its a treat to watch them work. They swim real well.

But he noticed problems when he opened the pool two weeks ago: Sand beneath the pool's plastic liner was a half-foot lower than normal in places, and some of the pool walls were buckled.
Repair companies say the cause was ice buildup from two months of sub-freezing temperatures in
Pool repair companies declined to discuss revenue gains from the increased work, but some estimate their repair business is up 40 percent compared to "normal" winters, with bills for liner and equipment replacement averaging
With summer set to start this Saturday, the number of repair jobs at Pool City, the region's largest dealer and servicer, normally is about 125 at this point, but it's 180 and counting this year, said
Damage to above-ground pools such as the one behind Janosik's
"I've been in this business for 38 years and never seen anything like it," he said. "Mother Nature had a harsh reaction. Every year pools freeze, but from
Plus, in April and May, there was rain that added weight on top of ice. "That gets the ice to travel, leading to more problems, some minor and many major, especially for one-third of all pools that are not properly winterized," Blohm said.
His customers blamed the winter for half of the reinstallations he's done this year, compared with 25 percent in other years, he said.Pool industry trade association don't compile data on repairs and causes, but
Aluminum or plastic walls on above-ground pools are bendable and when they do, it ruins the entire system, she said.
"The ice was so thick that when it melts it pulls on liners, ripping them and in some cases the weight of the ice damages wall and uprights that hold liners, causing pools to leak," he said. When liners and pool covers are damaged, leaves and debris fall in. And pool pumps are damaged because "people always fail to take them in during the winter."
"We're seeing a 40 to 50 percent increase in liner replacements, and everyday we're getting more calls," because many people haven't yet opened their pools for summer, Kleiner said. Replacement costs
"Some of those customers say they've been winterizing their pools the same way for years," Pool City's Blohm said. "But we didn't have this bad of a winter. ... The extra business is nice, but it's hard business. A lot of customers don't want to accept that Mother Nature was the cause; we just had a real odd weather pattern this year."
Dealers and repairmen say pool damage generally is not covered by homeowners insurance. A spokeswoman for
Janosik said he was disappointed that a stainless steel panel that connects pump and filter equipment to the pool buckled. "But there was a big chuck of ice there, I won't lie to you," he said. Blohm said manufacturers introduced heavy duty panels in that spot because of the equipment connected there.
Janosik's repairs may be scheduled next week, and damage wasn't severe enough to prevent swimming until then.
"I'll be in it this weekend," said Janosik.

Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

Found it on youtube
He's a parolee and apparently he had a throwing knife visible in his hands.
Surely they could have used a taser instead of the 10 or so bullets they put in him.
That's rather messed up then putting the handcuffs on him once his basically dead.
The description on Worldstar says this just happened, but i think it actually happened in Summer of 2011. Sorry if it was already posted before!
THe officer also shouts drop the knife before shooting him.
Shooting tens shots was totally unnecessary though.
If the guy had a weapon then the cop is justified in shooting him. I don't see a problem with how many shots he fired. You never know how you would react unless you are actually there with the adrenaline pumping through your veins.
Uh oh these threads usually end up bad
Dude had a knife. Dont police have some hand to hand combat skills? Fuck
They're trained to fire multiple shots. It's standard procedure.
At the moment these things with civilian people, at such a big scale, could only happen in one country in the world... It just looks awful and unbelievable - the guy is in his backyard, his mom parks a car, the guy gets out of the car... obviously, as most people in his case he wants to run into his house to hide from police, his wife and children are waiting for the husband in the house... but the husband gets ten bullets in his body... I am surprised the cop didn't shoot the man's wife, although as you see in the video he considered about it for a second... had it been in the dark and not in people's own backyard the wife would have been shot as well.
The man behaved suspiciously, we all do, especially in those stressful situations... but it was miles away from any threatening behavior, and if it looked threatening then a cop should have hidden behind his car and kept giving commands until he becomes sure about the situation and man's intentions... You can punch someone in the face and then say sorry, you can use electro shock and then say sorry... but here a lethal weapon is being used, now you cannot wake the husband and father up... The only justification for this murder would be if the man have just killed someone in front of police and still has a gun in his hands.
The states's law should control cops' behavior.... it's hard to blame the cop, he is just human being and reacts according to the training he has been given, and police practices used in the country, the cop knows, he will not get sentenced for killing when he is on his duty, and for him is much better to kill earlier than to wait and might possibly face a dangerous threat later.
How many is adequate, at what point is it excessive?
Seriously, it's only unnecessary if he pauses to reload.
If the dude has a knife, it's not hand to hand is it?
Thecop obviously knew the guy by shouting "ernie" twice.
However the guy was all hyped up and scrambling around by the car, people should know by now that doing that with American cops leads to a lot of bullets coming your way.
Also, his kids will grow up hating cops and will likely kill a one or two. The vicious cycle continues.
Of course it is. If your skills are up to par (which as a cop i hope they are) they disarming a person with a knife shouldnt be hard at all.
Front stomp kick from a distance then a crashing technique..move to elbow or hroat strike..rear throw..armbreaker series.
Anything. Its a knife. You should know how to handle someone with a knife .
He couldve pepper spray the guy even without needing any h2h at all.
Did he have a knife? I can't tell.
It is not a cops responsibility to take risks like you are describing.
With that said it looked like an execution. Dude should have known that as frantic as the cop was it wasn't a good idea to be fumbling around though. You could tell the cop knew he made a serious mistake when he couldn't find a knife. It's pretty messed up that he was more concerned with covering his ass than assisting the guy he just gunned down.
A cop can only go from "hey stop" to putting holes in people?
No in between?
If either person is using a weapon it is, by definition, no longer hand to hand.
If you look into the subject a little from a real world perspective you will find that it is far from "not hard at all" to disarm a person with a knife.
The gentleman in the photo is a police officer and, I believe, a well trained use of force instructor who went hands on with a guy with a knife while wearing body armour. Inside it's effective range, a knife is up to 3x as lethal and much more effective than a handgun.
If you ever need to "disarm" somebody with a knife who intends to do you harm, I highly recommend that you shoot them first, if at all possible.
I have no opinion regarding the specific incident in the video. I lack the necessary information to form one.
Edit: I see the photo was removed. In retrospect it was pretty graphic.
No, I didn't sat that. The cop was trigger happy but the other guy was a dumbass for fumbling around like he was trying to get a weapon out. He is a parole but doesn't have enough street smarts to know that acting like you are pulling a weapon will get your ass shot? Sounds like he was destined for a short life.

Sometimes, our house is an organic bounty of local goodies from the co-op.
Sometimes it's fueled by $1.50 hotdogs from Costco.
Sometimes our house is filled with the beautiful sounds of classical music.
Sometimes the house is silent because a child is engrossed in the glowing screen of an iPad.
Sometimes 6 whole servings of fruits and vegetables are consumed in a day (this is a rarity…but it does happen).
Some days it seem like her diet consists of bunny crackers and string cheese.
Some days sharing and compromises make my heart sing.
Some days are perpetual meltdowns.
Some days we go outside.
Some days we don't.
Some days I have the patience of a saint.
Some days I really really want to yell and scream and flail about.
Some days we go at a slower toddler pace; letting her lead the way.
Some days tiny bodies are hurriedly put into car seats.
Some days I encourage and embrace the messes.
Some days I get frustrated with the messy chaos.
Some days I come up with endless games and activities.
Some days I just want to lock myself in my room because my brain has shut down for the day…at 10am.
Some days I work out during nap.
Some days I eat a dozen cookies during nap.
Some days naps don't exist and I eat 2 dozen cookies.
Some days we win.
Some days we keep winning.
I don't let the burden of parental perfection weigh me down anymore.
I'm over the guilt.
We do the best we can each day.

Can you use ammonia in dish washing liquid?
Add your voice! Click below to answer. ThriftyFun is powered by your wisdom!
Hi Clyde. If you mean a bit of dish detergent in a pail of water for cleaning the floor, yes. But make sure the dish soap is for hand washing and read the product usage directions on both products.
Make sure the dish soap does NOT contain any kind of bleach or chlorine products in it. You never want to mix ammonia with bleach as it will combine to make poisonous fumes.
Ammonia is pretty nasty stuff anyway. I would use something else.
Yes, you certainly can ... the more expensive Dawn dish detergent has ammonia in it! Use a cheaper brand and add your own ammonia, much cheaper. How much, start with an amount you think appropriate for the size of the container. You can always increase or decrease the amounts.

The New York art and rare books dealer John McWhinnie died yesterday in a snorkeling accident while on vacation in the British Virgin Islands. He was 43.
Virgin Islands police told East Hampton Patch that McWhinnie and his wife, jewelry designer Maria Beaulieu, were caught in a current while snorkeling on a coral reef off Savannah Bay beach, half an hour from Tortola. A man on the beach managed to pull Ms. Beaulieu from the water, but was unable to find her husband, who was recovered by emergency personnel half an hour later and was unable to be resuscitated.
Mr. McWhinnie divided his time between Manhattan and East Hampton, managing Glenn Horowitz's flagship East Hampton bookstore for eight years before opening his own stores with Mr. Horowitz as a partnership in 2005. A downtown fixture, he championed the work of artists like Cindy Sherman, Matthew Satz, Nicholas Weber, Peter Sabbath, Jameson Ellis and Richard Prince, a prodigious book collector who frequently bought from McWhinnie.
In a conversation with Glenn O'Brien for Interview, Mr. Prince said McWhinnie helped him track down a copy of On the Road that was once owned by Neal Cassady, the man who served as Jack Kerouac's inspiration for the character Dean Moriarty.

I have had this phone for a year now and it still works perfectly. The system it uses matches up to the iphone with google speak and google play (although it doesn''t have as many apps), without costing the hundreds of pounds that an iphone does. The main benefit for me is that it doesn''t break; i crashed my bike and the phone went through the gears on the bike and half way down the road but there wasn''t a scratch on it. The phone feels very durable and i have never felt the need to put a case on it, unless for aesthetic purposes. However if you are really concerned about damage then you might want to consider some of the other xperias which are meant to be waterproof. I have got this phone wet before and it has survived but it did take a few days to come back to life. Aesthetically the phone is a winner, very slim and slightly curved so it sits in you hand nicely. However, after a year of wear the silver paint on the rim has chipped slightly. The screen is a good size, big enough to surf the internet, play games, answer emails and so on, but not so big that its awkward to hold or too big to fit in your pocket. I can be slow at times but not often. The main disadvantage is the limited built in memory which has caused so problems and limits the amount of apps I can have. However this can be fixed by adding a memory card to the phone. Also the camera isn''t the best quality, it can take good pictures but it takes its time to focus so it isn''t great for action shots. Overall this phone does the job it needs to and I am very pleased with it and in no rush to upgrade. I have never had a phone last this long and still work as well as it does.
I think this phone is excellent for people who use social network sites a lot. It comes with Facebook and Twitter already installed so you don't have to go through the hassle of downloading them. It also come with the eBay app which I use a lot and find it very helpful the phone ha this already installed. The phone has an excellent layout and is fairly easy to work. It has excellent battery life, which lasts about 2-3 days without charging. It displays the percentage of the battery life left so you can tell when you will need to charge it.
==the outside==
The outside of the phone is very smart looking. Personally I think it looks better in black but there are range of back for the phone that come in a few different colors. The layout of the buttons on the side are positioned very well as they are right under you thumb when you hold the phone. I think it is best to keep this phone in a case to avoid damaging the outside as I admit the corners can be scratched quite easily.
The quality of the phone is excellent compared to most large touch screen phones. I have dropped it a few times and as some smart phones would break and the screen would crack there is not difference to the way the phone looks or functions. The only bad thing about the quality is that the outside of the phone on the corner can wear quite easily although nothing major.
I am very impressed with the camera on the Sony Xperia j as it has an amazing focus. It come with the options 'single auto focus', 'infinity' and 'touch focus'. Personally I think the touch focus I the best one as you can chose what area of the picture you would like the camera to focus on. The camera also come with a front camera which is very useful although the picture quality is not as good on the front camera, and it also comes with 'sweep panorama' which is excellent and very helpful for taking wide shots. You can choose what sort of shot you would like to take. There are 7 options which include portrait, landscape, night scene, night portrait, beach and snow, sports and document. These are very helpful on making sure you can take the best picture possible.
Overall I think this phone is definitely worth getting and is perfect for you first smartphone as it is easy to use. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fairly cheap phone which works well.
I have had the Sony xperia since March this year and would not recommend it to anybody really. Although the phone itself looks nice, has a decent sized screen and a good camera it does not make up for the fact i have had to send it off for repair twice since march. The first time was the beginning of June when the screen would not switch on so i had to send it off which then meant i lost everything on my phone to as automatically it saves to your phone not your card. Then since it has been sent back it now decides as and when it wants to work. It is extremely temperamental and turns itself off and on when it feels like it sometimes i will be on the phone and it will just switch off with no warning or reason and sometimes will then switch back on. Another thing while your already on the phone should you accidentally touch the screen with your cheek it puts the other person on mute and rings other people from your phone book. I have not been happy with this phone at all and if i was not tied into a contract would be changing it now! I am still considering changing it anyway and it isn't even slightly reliable.
I have had the Xperia J for a bit under a year. It started of giving me some problems with the software and i had to go have it repaired, something wrong with the sim card reader, but after that it worked perfectly, although if you are planning to buy a phone, install loads of games and fill it up with things you use one time and just keep on your phone for friends, i would not recommend it because it gets quite laggy. It comes with some modified(by sony) android 4.1.2 software that has some very handy, good looking and new features that you will not find on many other phones for this price. The back is quite irritating mainly due to the fact that you have to fact that you have to dig your nail into a small opening and that it doesn't come of very smoothly.
It has a 5 mega pixel rear camera with auto-focus and LED flash which can also be used as a light with the right app. The screen is 4.0 inches and has 480 x 854 pixels, with multitouch(2). For earphones the input is a normal 3.5mm and at the back there is a reasonably good loudspeaker.The xperia J comes with 4gb of internal memory but you can add up to 32gb more memory with a good microSD and has 512 MB of RAM.From full battery you can be in a call from 5-7 hours depending on if you are using 3G. Usually for normal phone calls it will be 7 hours and the quality has always been good for me, around the same as an iPhone 4.
I bought my phone from my service provider for a big discount but usually it would be $220(Euro170) which, for a pretty good smartphone is quite a good price. I would recommend this to anyone who is trying to get a good, cheap smartphone for business, or normal, as long as you don't install to many games.

Quoting *Mayhem*:" Guys...really...holy balls can we keep one topic separate from the others? Half of us that have this ... [snip!] ... people from post to post, I think it's time for that thread to die and put the f**king keyboard down...walk awaaaaayyyy"

You can do that no one else has to open forum
All my kids have different dad's and I don't care what anyone has to say about it. I sure as hell didn't plan it that way, but wouldn't change having my babies.
Quoting Mrs. Grinch:" Keep your damn legs closed all you f**king wh**es. Think how your children will feel having no full brothers and sisters."
Aren't you f**king sweet. I have two brothers and a sister, all half. We were raised together and don't even bring up the fact that we're half.
I have kids with two different men and it never has bothered me at all . I had 2 with my oldest's father (though I put the 2nd up for adoption due to the fact I was trying to sort my life out and raise my first child at the same time) and I will have two with my husband. My oldest daughter's father was a complete a*****e , and also died due to a car accident so the combination of those things are why we're not together (totally for the better) . We never married but were pretty committed and were together from the time he was 11 and I was 10 until I got pregnant with my second child when I was in my 20's . We were off for a few years though but I , mistakenly, got back together with him despite knowing he was an abusive a*****e and that's how we had our second child. I have never heard anyone say any judgement to my face, if they did they're a sick p***e o* s**t in my opinion . You don't say that to someone who survived abuse.But anyway the good news being I ended up with my husband a few years later and it has been a wonderful relationship .
Due to this I really can't judge though because I don't think I have the right to , knowing how it is to be in a horrible relationship I would assume it's possible they did as well, and maybe that's why, so I couldn't judge.
And one more thing, it does bother me when people ask if all my kids have the same dads (3) and I can't answer yes. Sometimes. Only because of comments like from Mrs. Grinch. Otherwise, I just remember that they are all MY babies too and don't need to be defined by their DNA.

Quoting *Mayhem*:" Guys...really...holy balls can we keep one topic separate from the others? Half of us that have this ... [snip!] ... people from post to post, I think it's time for that thread to die and put the f**king keyboard down...walk awaaaaayyyy"

No kidding im so confused lol.

Quoting Loka Lokita:" And one more thing, it does bother me when people ask if all my kids have the same dads (3) and I can't ... [snip!] ... like from Mrs. Grinch. Otherwise, I just remember that they are all MY babies too and don't need to be defined by their DNA. "

I can't believe people would ask that! Seems kinda rude and nosey.
Quoting Mrs. Grinch:"
Quoting *Mayhem*:"
Quoting Yurvette [♥]:" ... [snip!] ... so perfect world. It's up to the person what happens and if they choose to risk it then they can handle the judgement from it."
That's pretty much a bullshit statement. Shit happens... I religiously used condoms and became pregnant. ALL protection can fail, except abstinence. You know that. But it seems absolutely wacky to me to be all "Well I am a responsible adult and have responsible relationships but oh nope, I won't have sex at all because protection fails and if I have multiple fathers for my child then I should expect people to give me backlash." I'm sorry, that's crap. It IS pretty bad to be with whoever you want, have kids with random people that don't give a damn, but shit happens.
I'll use my situation and explain why it would be bullshit to judge like that without knowing the situation and just be all "Well I should expect backlash" :p
First real long-term relationship I had, I became pregnant. Religiously used condoms. It wasn't until AFTER I became pregnant that his true colors showed. He even tried to kidnap our child. I left him, blocked him from our life. After that, I started to date Tony (my recent ex) but that didn't work out back them. Let's move onto Dale... Dale treated me WONDERFULLY. I was his Queen and Lily was his princess. We had a very strong, wonderful relationship. The reason we broke up was mainly because I still loved Tony, and two... his mother didnt like me having a child and she made that known. I was pushed away by that. We did not have kids together but if I did... it wouldnt have bothered me. He was an amazing "father" to my child. Second relationship, we had our issues but it still was a good relationship. He treated Lily well (until the last 2 weeks we were together) and so if I had a child with him, I think all would have been well. He only "hurt" my child until the end. Then I got back with Tony. He has a son and we had a wonderful blended family. I wanted a child with him... I was with him for 5 years and he was a stand-up, wonderful man to me, my daughter, and the son he has custody of. We broke up for bullshit reasons and I still want him back, but that's another story ;)
But lets say I had a kid with all of them... especially with Dale and Tony, they were wonderful "fathers" to my child and Lily LOVED them. Even if I had a child and broke up with them I know without a doubt they would be there for our children, Lily included. Matt was the only bad one and like I said, I left him. So lets just say I had a child with Matt, Dale, and Tony... it would be bullshit to expect judgment from someone just because I had more than one father especially since two of them were wonderful men that took on another child as their own. Why is more than one father bad and should expect judgment for it.... when a woman can stay with one man that is horrible to her and her child in private and the world doesnt know because she doesnt want to leave because of the judgment of moving on and having a child with someone else. Why do we pass judgment... that judgment is what makes girls stay in shit relationships instead of moving on and saying "Who cares if I end up having a third father... I'm a wonderful mtoher and that father may be the best thing that ever happened to us." And even if he isnt wonderful, all that matters is the mother being a stand-up mother.
People change, relationships change. A woman shouldnt get with someone that is abusive, on drugs, is horribly mean, etc... and expect him to change. But people DO change so that wonderful man can turn into a deadbeat, and one shouldnt receive scorn for that.
Additionally, it shouldn't be a "just dont have sex until its serious/close to marriage/you know the person like the back of your hand" because again, people change. Sex shouldnt be JUST for love. Its fine if one thinks that way, but it shouldnt be looked down upon just because you don't agree. You say "This is so grey, but my opinion is more than one baby daddy, without being married, is f**king whoreish" is just... well... crap. What does marriage have to do with anything... I mean really, does being married mean anything more than being unmarried? People sleep around while married... people have open relationships when married. People are beat when married, people get married just for insurance or because they feel they have to... I mean the list goes on. Being married doesn't make one better, just as being unmarried doesn't make one better or worse. But the underlying fact is that being married doesn't mean you have more morals, and you can be a "wh**e" or "whoreish" when married just as when you aren't married. You can be a fantastic mother to 5 children, when not married, when all kids have different fathers. You can marry one person, sleep around still, or even if you do stay together and be faithful you can be married and still have horrible morals or be a horrible parent. To judge a mother based on how many fathers she has and to call her a whoreish for not being married with more than one father is just.... well it's bullshit to be honest.
Quoting Mrs. Grinch:"
Quoting Yurvette [♥]:" I was in a committed relationship ... [snip!] ... because I can. If you can't handle it don't air your dirty shit and don't put yourself in a place to get judged. End of story."
"Not feel bad when it's wrong." Who the hell says it is wrong to not be married and have more than one father of your children? Who died and made you queen of morals and rights in the world?
You say don't air dirty shit and put yourself in a place to be judged.... saying "I stole a bunch of makeup because I don't feel like paying for it. I steal all the time because the store has insurance to cover theft anyways." Is a perfect statement to judge and say that they are putting themselves in a place to be judged. They are doing something wrong and so they should feel bad, as that IS wrong. But I fail to see where it is "wrong" to have children out of wedlock, even more than one child, more than one father, and it certainly isn't a place to judge someone unless they are neglecting their children.
I mean, you are putting yourself in a place to be judged right now. I think you are a royal b***h and should turn that judgmental nose more toward Earth than upturned into the clouds, acting as if your shit don't stink and your life is better than others.
Let's talk about you... you have extreme anger issues and outbursts. I could say that you are childish and need to act like an adult if you don't have a hold on your anger and throw tantrums like a 3 year old. You threw a fit like a child and told your fiancee that his girlfriend was on the phone. So you aren't even married, and have a kid. You DO realize that if you throw too many fits and your fiancee leaves you, that you too can find someone else, sleep with them, and have another child and that makes YOU look whoreish by your own definition......... correct?
You put up a post about having body issues and feeling like crap, working for a goal for your body and your body is "betraying" you in a way. You say, "please don't judge." Why is it people can't judge you, but you judge others by calling their actions whoreish without even knowing what may have happened in their life? You flip out on your boyfriend.... a lot. He can easily leave you and then if you get with someone else and have a child out of wedlock again, are you going to call yourself a wh**e?
I really can't believe you judge......
Quoting Mrs. Grinch:" Keep your damn legs closed all you f**king wh**es. Think how your children will feel having no full brothers and sisters."
I have a half-sister and full blooded sister and we all love each other the same. I look more like my half sister. So we don't give a damn.
My daughter loves my ex's son as if he were my own. I love him as if her were my own. If you raise your kids right they won't grow up with trash views like yours and you won't have anything to worry about.
Quoting Ꭶwan♥Nem
More then 1 is to many lol ; )
I don't see what the big deal is. If the children are being taken care of who flipping cares. Some might think a woman who has 3 baby daddies is a wh**e. Then what about the woman who has had 3 abortions cause she didn't want to have 3 baby daddies. Is she a wh**e also?

The last time Missouri fans saw Tony Temple, he was slicing through the Oregon State defense on his way to a career-high 193 yards in the Sun Bowl. Temple drew rave reviews all through fall camp. Which made his 17-carry, 33-yard thud of a debut against Illinois even more surprising.
"I think we all were (shocked)," said Tyler Luellen. "We didn't have a very good showing in the running game."
That would certainly be an understatement. Temple's 1.9 yards per carry average marked just the second time in the last 50 years a Mizzou back had gotten as many as 17 carries without averaging at least two yards per touch.
"There was a lot of breakdowns, lot of missed assignments," Temple said. "Got to be more tough out there, got to be more physical."
The fact that Temple still did get 17 carries--exactly on average with his per game totals from last season--was actually a positive that players were pointing to after the loss.
"We didn't shy away from it," Chase Daniel said. "Tony had 17 carries, that's a lot of carries, and I had 11."
"I'm glad they didn't give up, but as an offense, we can't reach our potential if we don't run the ball well," Temple said. "I've got to take it upon myself to make that happen. I'm going to work my butt off this week to make it happen."
The question, then, was exactly why the Tigers could not run the ball against Illinois. The Illini certainly deserve some credit, but Gary Pinkel laid the blame more at the feet of his own team.
"Give them credit, okay, they did a good job, I'm not saying that," the coach said. "You always give them credit, but we did not execute the detail that we need to. That's what we focus on, the things we need to do to make it better."
"Generally what happens is you get one particular play where the guard misses a block, another play where the tackle misses a block, another play where the running back takes the wrong steps, another play where the quarterback might cut the running back off on the exchange and you get a multitude of things."
There was no shortage of blame claiming for the Tigers. Everyone wanted to put the problems on his own shoulders.
"As the offensive line, we're going to take it on our shoulders," said Ryan Madison, who slipped from starter to second-team at left guard following the game. "It wasn't the running back's fault, it was all our problems."
"They're going to say that because they're the offensive linemen and they feel like it's all on them, but it's not," Daniel said. "It's on all the players. I don't think we played a good game."
"The best thing about our team, we've been saying it all year, we've got a lot of playmakers and if one can't do it, we can distribute the ball," Temple said. "We know what we can do. We're good enough , as long as we execute, it shouldn't be a problem."
Much of the focus, at least from fans, has been not on the one-time performance of the running game, but on Mizzou's scheme as a hole. The Tigers run a zone-read running game, which means that Temple has to identify the hole on each play. Running plays are not specifically designed to hit one certain gap. That can, at times, put a little more stress on the line.
"It's sometimes a little bit difficult," said center Adam Spieker. "That's why sometimes you have to hold on to your blocks a little bit longer because you don't know if he's going left or right or cutting it back."
However, the failures were not, according to the Tigers, a scheme-based problem.
"I don't think we finished blocks very well, didn't communicate well enough," Spieker said. "Finishing blocks will help out any running play."
Regardless of why the Tigers were unable to run the ball (as a team, they totaled 70 yards on the ground), one thing was clear to all: To be as good as they hope to be this year, the Tigers have got to get better on the ground.
"That's very fair to say," Temple said. "I'm ready to practice so I can get out there and run the ball. My offensive line, they took that to heart. They want to perform better, I want to perform better."
It may not get a lot easier. Ole Miss gave up just 124 yards on 35 carries to Memphis in its season opener. The Tigers and Rebels kick off at 5 p.m. on Saturday.
