I sold my $800 set for $75. Someone else is using it and hopefully getting something out of it.
I could not stand the thought of anything reminding me of my first marriage.
One never plans on ever getting divorced!
My first wedding set was a beautiful diamond set in platinum that I picked out myself and was exactly what I wanted. I was going to be married forever, so I got exactly what I dreamed.
Except things didn't work out exactly how I dreamed and we divorced. I kept my ring.
I tried to sell it many times, but there isn't much of a market for used diamonds, especially in the unpopular shape I picked. I had no luck on Ebay nor Craigslist (on ebay there are jewelers that sell non-used diamonds for cheap.) Jewelry stores wouldn't touch it because it was an unpopular shape. Pawn shops always offered me such a low offer that I left feeling insulted. I know that most of a diamond's value is sentimental, but a hundred dollars for a ring that cost us several thousand...I couldn't do it.
I have just hung onto it. I got re-married and this time both of us were going through tough times financially (with the recession and all) that we got inexpensive sterling silver wedding bands. I didn't get an engagement diamond but I didn't care at the time because I was so happy. We promised ourselves that we'd get nice rings when we got on our financial feet, but that hasn't happened yet.
I've thought about getting my previous diamond re-set into a right-hand ring that does NOT resemble a wedding set. (I don't wear necklaces much so getting it set in a necklace wouldn't do me much good.) It's such a pretty diamond. Is that weird to do? And is that even weirder since I don't have a nice diamond on my other hand from my now-husband? I went back to the jeweler that my ex and I originally purchased the ring from and he offered to take the side diamonds back and in exchange, re-set the ring for a cheap price. He won't take the center stone because of the shape :(
What do other people do with their diamond rings from a previous marriage?
Okay, okay! It's a heart-shaped diamond which is the most unpopular shape. Jewelers made sure to tell me that over and over! Many jewelers don't even carry heart-shaped diamonds, and those that do only carry one at a time.
I have no children from my previous marriage and my current hubby doesn't care what I do with the ring. At this point it's just a piece of jewelry. He was married before too and if we both made each other get rid of every single thing from our previous marriages we'd have an empty house!
Thanks for all the advice! I think I'll hang onto the ring and see if maybe I can donate it to a family member or something. I have lots of male cousins in their late teens, and maybe one day they'll want a nice diamond to re-set for their future wife! Thanks for the idea of donating!
I sold my $800 set for $75. Someone else is using it and hopefully getting something out of it.
I could not stand the thought of anything reminding me of my first marriage.
i sold mine - originally cost over 1500 dollars and i got 300$ - oh well. i didn't want it (and i did LOVE it, like you i picked it out myself)
do what ever you feel the need to do as long as hubby is ok with it, i don't see the point of waisting a nice piece of jewlrey...still have my old wedding band from my previous marriage, BUT we had a child and when she gets married, i'll give my ring to her, i had both mine and her dad's but an ex bf pawned it off one day when i was at work...i was MIFFED!
i know how you feel. my ex husband bought me a $1,500 3 stone PPF (past present and future) ring. we were married less than a year and he actually got the money from his parents for it as we were always broke ( he was on some serious drugs and always drunk) at the time i didnt care as i was 21 to his 31. but anyway back to the story. . . when i left him (he beat the daylights out of me) as a symbol to get rid of every aspect of him i sold the ring to some guy outside the pawn shop. i saw his girlfriend looking at the different types of rings and she kept telling him that was the type she wanted and he kept telling her they didnt have that kind of money as they were pawning his guitar to pay rent. i told him while she was in the store next door that if he promised not to turn around and pawn it i would sell it to him for $40.00. i didnt need it anymore and just looking at it brought back every feeling of hatred i had for my ex husband. i found out later that the guy was actually the son of one of the guests that stayed in the hotel i worked at. and they went to the court house with their parents 3 days later and got married with the "generous gift from a stranger" they now have been married for 5 years and have a beautiful daughter that i get email pictures of at least once a month. and "mom" is still wearing that 3 stone ring on her left finger.
i realize that there was no advice in that part of my story but was answering your question. my now husband of 3 years is happy i got rid of it. just the same as i got rid of all my things (except for clothes that would be kind of stupid) from ex's. the ring on my hand now is a simple band from walmart that cost no where near $1,500.00 but the love behind it is priceless. most men will tell you they dont care if you keep it but they are lying. ask yourself this would you be mad if he kept his ring from his ex wife and wore it on his right finger. and you KNEW where it was from and the story behind it? i would.
I too, am curious about the "odd" shape, lol. Please share :)
This may not even be an option for you, but I wanted to share my story with you.
I married my first husband (and father of my oldest child) when I was 23. I chose (and purchased, actually) my engagement ring and wedding set. That marriage lasted 6 months and entailed a bitter 2.5 year divorce. I met my current husband shortly after my ex and I separated and things moved extremely slow for us. 7 years and 3 kids later, he proposed last New Year's Eve, and we got married in May at the top of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas :) I should add that he was married before too. I held on to my first wedding set with the hopes that I could some day pass it to my daughter from that relationship. Then it hit me one day. The idea behind passing something like that down is the significance of the relationship behind it. Since that relationship essentially meant nothing to me, the meaning behind the ring was moot. We decided to go to Vegas to get married privately and we took both of our first wedding rings with us. We went to the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop...the one from the show Pawn Stars on The History Channel...and sold both of our old rings the day we got married. We didn't get much for them at all, but we weren't concerned about the price tag at that point. For us, it was more the significance behind it all. We left that last remaining bits of our past in that shop and went down the street and began our new life together.
As for resetting the stone, I would honestly consider how your husband feels about this, even if he doesn't tell you how he really feels. Put yourself in his shoes. Think about how you would feel if he continued to wear something given to him (in any form) by an old wife or girlfriend. You picked your ring out, yes, but your ex still gave it to you out of commitment. I can't imagine your husband has any positive feelings about you wearing it in any form.
I can understand you not wanting to sell the diamond for a great deal less than its original value, but if it were me, I would just take what I could get for it and be done with it. Or give it back to your ex. I don't think I would want it anymore, even if it was re-set into something that didn't look like the original. By the way, what shape is it? Inquiring minds want to know!
did you and your ex have children? maybe save it for them...
Why not keep it for your first born daughter? Like a family heirloom? What shape is it in, that is so unpopular? You can always try to sell it on ebay.com, but most buyers will expect paperwork to go with it, and an appraisal from a jeweler.
I talked to my hubby and told him I wanted my diamond reset as a pair of earrings. He was completely fine with it which was surprising since this was the man who insisted eradicating every pot, pan and dust bunny from my first marriage. Nothing's weird so long as you and the hubs talk and agree on the course of action. Good luck.
I know that you are considering donating the ring but what about resetting it into a style that you and your new husband like? With money being tight and with not having a diamond ring, this might be the way to go. They can do lots of things now to make rings look so different. IF it were me, this is what I would do with it.
Good luck.
I noticed you are a stepmom. Since you do not have children from your previous marriage, my 1st thought is out!
Next thought would be: I have several friends who had their previous stones reset into a right-hand ring (as you mentioned). BUT they found that they seldom wore the ring.....because of the drama attached to the "whole" event, & their current husbands were a little offput by it. Which brings me to my idea: since the value is no longer intrinsic - what about just donating the entire ring to the next silent auction of one of your fav charities? It could be your church, your alma mater, etc.
You would need to attach an appraisal from the jeweler to set a benchmark for the pricing. & that brings me to my next comment: based on how little you were offered by the pawn shops, how the original jeweler refused to take the central stone.....that really makes me question the integrity of the stone! Unusual shape, clarity of stone, etc.....normally holds or accelerates in value! BUT with anything used, it's used......& therefore will rarely be of any value other than to the original owner. Peace!
my mom kept her ring from her and my dads divorce and when my husband asked me to marry him she asked if i wanted her ring. she told me she had saved it all these yrs so one of us girls vould have it. i told her how cool that would be, but i wear a size 11 and my moms ring was a 6- no stretching there. the diamond wasnt very big but it was a beautiful ring anyway! so she still has it in her jewelry box, waiting for someone (with a smaller hand than mine) to get married
I pawned mine. Didn't get much, but don't want to have to answer to why I still have it in the future.
My aunt had the most awesome ring ever made with her ring from her first marriage and other old jewelry she had laying around. It is a custom, one of a kind ring. It won't have the same meaning once it has been changed. Go for it. :)
And, yes, what is the 'odd' shape? Weird I have never heard of an odd shape diamond? There is a diamond outlet in Houston that promises to buy back any piece they sell, (at the original price it sold for or more), with a lifetime guarantee on that. I would think if that jewelry store sold it to you, surely they could sell it again in the future?
*I think this is the store that advertises the buy-back guarantee. They have a national, free hotline that may be able to help you if you still might want to sell it. You may have better luck selling it somewhere like Houston that has a bigger, more 'international' market. Just thinking?
We wanna know - what shape is it?
I like the idea of donating it to a charity for auction.
Get it reset or if you have a daughter get it cleaned put it into a jewerly box then as she gets older give it to her that is my plan if I ever became divorced from their father I couldn't just toss it away (but then again)..
I'm curious what shape is it in that's so odd about it??What would your new hubby say if it was reset into a bridal set just reusing the old diamond since your unable to afford one at this time?
Do you have any children w/ your ex? If so, I would hold onto it and give it to them when they are older (either old enough to wear herself or old enough to give to the girl he wasn'ts to ask). My first engagement was a small one (it is what I wanted but it is considered a "friendship" ring) so it doesn't have much value and is personalized. I have saved it as a sentimental thing for my son.
Otherwise, I guess it would depend on how your hubby feels about you wearing the ring (or the reset stone) since it was from your first marriage.
You don't mention whether you have children from your previous marriage. If you do and if I were in your position, I would think about having the stone reset and giving it to my daughter/new DIL when the time comes. He's still her father/FIL, after all. I don't know where your town is in Illinois, but surely in Chicago you can find a jeweler who can make an unpopular-shaped diamond into a lovely piece of jewelry.
I am with the folks saying that maybe you should consider how your hubby may feel and realize that the ring symbolizes a relationship that no longer exists and therefore you might be better off letting it go. Another thought I had was to get it re-set as a pendent for a necklace instead another ring, if your hubby does not truly have an issue with it.
I actually still had a diamond engagement ring from my first boyfriend, prior to meeting my husband. That relationship ended amicably with no hard feelings on either end. I ended up getting it reset in another ring with a matching diamond, and a pearl in the middle. I wear it fairly often, but not all the time (my engagement ring and wedding band are on my left ring finger and I have a number of different rings for my right that I like to switch around). And DH doesn't care either way.
I think that you should just have it re-set into another ring. Talk to your new hubby and tell him that you want to do something with this diamond and celebrate your marriage at the same time.
I dont think it's weird. At this point it's merely an asset just sitting around being wasted! Have it reset and let your new hubby help pick out the design of the new ring.
I don't even know where mine is! LOL
I think thrown in my jewelry box...somewhere.
I would have it set as a solitaire necklace. Not as "wedding-y" as a ring.
As for the missing diamond from current hubby....don't worry about not having one....you may still get it one day!
My mother had her wedding rings from her marriage to my dad. She offered it to me and my sister, but neither of us wanted it. We told her to sell it and use the money for whatever SHE wanted.
My father had also given her an amazing custom designed dinner ring with 11 diamonds. She continued to wear it for years, but when she married her current husband he eventually purchased a dinner ring for her (it was so awful) so she would not wear the other ring. My mom agreed to not wear the original ring any longer and had him take back the dinner ring he gave her. She just told him she did not want any rings but her wedding rings from him.
You are never going to get the worth of the ring. So either sell it and get what you can and be done with it, donate it to charity and get a tax deduction, if you like the diamond see if your husband minds if you save and use the diamond in a future setting or save it in a safe place and give as an inheritance to someone else in your family.
It is just a ring at this point. It has no magical powers.
I worked at a jewelry store during college and we use to tell people that "diamonds have no memory". Of course that was when we were trying to get them to upgrade. =) I think, that if you love this stone, have it reset and wear it. That is of course if your hubby is ok with that, but where a diamond came from doesn't matter as much as what it means to you now. If you think this diamond is beautiful and it reminds you of the beautiful relationship you have with your current hubby, then go for it.
My first thought would be to save it for your children. If that's not an option, I'd go ahead and have it reset. Just out of curiosity, what is the center stone shape???? :)

She had a very specific vision for the site with plenty of images and just enough text to increase search engine optimization. The site needed to be engaging enough to keep visitors attention with plenty of health tips and recipes and also to highlight the various programs that Stacey offers. The site is 100% responsive so it looks good and functions well on all devices. The Joomla! content management system provided the framework and a heavily modified template completed the look. Stacey requested the ability to add her own health tips and recipes so a step by step guide was written for her detailing the process. Alongside the website I also setup and optimized the Yelp and Google+ pages for Santa Monica Nutrition and Fitness.

Mental Health is a key issue for all of us, as employers and employees, with 1 in 4 of us suffering from poor mental health. One of the government's agenda items is to double the access that people who are long term unemployed have to individual support over the next five years.
Karen Mitchell, Prospects Regional Manager in the South West, is working as a strategic partner with Jan Hutchinson, the Director of Programmes and Performance at the Centre for Mental Health, to strengthen Prospects offer in this area. Due to the great work that the Dorset team delivered in employment outcomes in 2016-17 the Centre for Mental Health now sees Prospects as a strong provider achieving work as a health outcome for our customers.
The Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is a methodology used in supported employment and is evidence based with a rapid job search approach. High quality research has shown it to be more effective than other types of traditional employment support, especially if it is delivered to the highest standard – the standard known as 'High Fidelity'. Prospects has been piloting this approach in Weymouth, where the team were audited and obtained a score of 98, the highest they could achieve. Jan Hutchinson, who completed the audit, noted that the IPS practice demonstrated was so close to model fidelity it was very effective in finding jobs for our customers. Jan explains: "It was really interesting to review Prospects' service and to find that the IPS practice being demonstrated is so close to model fidelity."
Jan continues of Prospects work: "You are providing excellent work which is a great example of best practice within mental health work."
After the successful pilot in Weymouth, Prospects is now delivering a small IPS in our Bournemouth office. We have identified two employment specialists to take referrals from people with more complex health related needs including mental health conditions from the Work Programme caseload.
The IPS service is an excellent example of supported employment practice and the high success score reflects the effectiveness of the employment specialists. It is known areas with more than one employment specialist score better, which is why Prospects have two in Bournemouth. These specialists work together providing a 'vocational unit' which are integrated with health clinicians. This means that referrals are now possible between Prospects and the NHS and we are able to integrate case notes and influence NHS management on a case by case basis.
During the pilot approximately ten customers started a form of work and nine of these have sustained work for longer than six months. This is because the employment specialists could identify jobs based on an individual's needs and goals. The employment specialists worked on a case by case basis, sometimes creating appointments with people to identify vacancies or visit employers, help them to complete applications, work trials and provide on the job coaching.
The pilot also demonstrated the benefits of providing a bespoke service, as the jobs customers entered were in all sectors; national and local businesses in a wide range of roles including reception work, teaching assistants, cleaners, tele-sales, warehouse and Post Office supervisor roles.
The IPS service in Bournemouth is currently working with a caseload of 41 people, all of whom have a first or secondary mental health condition. Approximately 70% have health conditions including muscular and skeletal and other long term medical conditions or learning difficulties. Some also have criminal convictions that need to be considered at the job identification stage.
Prospects will be working together to strengthen and personalise our model for opportunities across. To find out more about the IPS model please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

File Types & Terms
Raster Images:
Raster images are made up of pixels, dots of color that work together to form the image. Photographs are always raster files, as well as most images you see online. Raster images will gradually lose quality as you scale them up, creating a rough, pixelated appearance.
Vector Images:
Vector images are not comprised of pixels. Instead, they use math equations to determine the appearance of the image. Because of this, vector images can be scaled up or down to any size and they will never decrease in image quality, which makes them ideal files to send to be printed in large formats.
Every raster image is made up of pixels; single dots of color that, together, form the image. As an example, a 2-megapixel image has 1,920,000 pixels (1200x1600).
A JPEG (saved with the extension .jpg) is the most common file type for an image. Most digital cameras take a .jpg image by default. This is a raster file format that uses color compression to reduce the size of the image file. The compression amount can be adjusted, but .jpg files typically achieve a 10:1 reduction in file size with very little noticeable loss in image quality.
A TIFF file (saved with the extension .tif) stands for Tagged Image File Format standard. This is a raster file that can be saved uncompressed without any degradation of the image.
An EPS file retains the information of a vector file. This means that .eps images can be scaled to any size without loss of image quality. This is a great file type to send to be printed, especially for large format prints.
Color Profile:
Color profiles are generated for printer and paper combinations so that accurate reproduction of colors is possible. They are also very useful in obtaining color matches between monitors and printers to ensure that what is seen on the screen is an accurate representation of the final printed image.
RGB stands for the Red-Green-Blue color profile. This is typically used in monitors and digital cameras. Colors are defined by the levels of red, green, and blue measured on a scale from 0-256: therefore, pure black is 0-0-0 and pure white is 256-256-256.
CMYK refers to the Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black color profile, usually associated with four-color printing. Each color is measured on a scale from 0-100. CMYK is a subtractive color scale, so pure black is 0-0-0-100 and pure white 0-0-0-0.
DPI stands for dots per inch, and refers to the number of pixels within one square inch of an image. A higher dpi results in a higher quality image. The dpi that an image needs to be depends on the size of the print and the distance it will be viewed from. In offset printing, such as magazines or newspapers, 300 dpi is the standard. In large format printing, the dpi can be much lower.
Image Resolution:
Resolution expresses the image quality, and is defined by pixel density (dots per inch) or image size (pixels tall x pixels wide).
Raster images are often resampled when being enlarged in order to lessen the noticeability of pixelation. Resampling can "soften" images, particularly at sharp borders between colors, but when done by a knowledgeable professional it can enlarge an image with very little loss of image quality
Printing Process Terms
This is a process that covers a print with a protective layer of hardened plastic or liquid. There are many laminating techniques available, in both hot and cold applications.
Fine Art Reproduction:
When reproducing fine art, great care is taken to match colors and details precisely, to accurately reproduce the original work.
A term used to describe high-quality inkjet prints, most often associated with fine art reproduction.
Archival Ink:
These inks are resistant to UV light, making them much more fade resistant than ordinary ink. All of GH Companies' inks are archival.
Digital Printing:
This printing process uses inkjet technologies to produce an image, requiring no printing plates or silk screens. This allows variable data to be used to customize each image, and makes for more affordable printing of short runs, especially in large format sizes.
Offset Printing:
Offset Printing separates an image into 4 plates, one each of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black color values. Each plate transfers its part of the image to a rubber blanket, which then imprints the paper. This produces a consistent, high-quality image that is more crisp and clear than what digital printing can produce.
Thermal Inkjet Printing:
Ink drops are expelled from a print head by generating a small bubble of steam with a pulse of electricity.
Piezo Inkjet Printing:
Ink drops are expelled from a print head by the activation of a piezo crystal with a pulse of electricity. These print heads are more expensive, but generally last much longer than thermal print heads.
Solvent Printing:
This refers to inkjet printing with piezo print heads and inks that use a solvent instead of water to carry the pigments. The solvent evaporates off of the surface, leaving only the pigments. These pigments are not water soluble, making the output waterproof. This is a common process for making outdoor banners.
Flatbed Printing:
Flatbed Printing uses a digital inkjet printing process to print directly to flat sheets of material, such as coroplast, sintra, 50 point board, and styrene.
Dye Sublimation Printing:
This is a digital method to create custom printed fabric. First a mirror image of the artwork is printed on a special paper; then the paper and fabric are run together through hot rollers to transfer the image to the fabric.
UV Curable Inkjet Printing:
This process uses UV lights on either side of the print carriage to cure the inks deposited on the substrate by piezo print heads. One advantage of this process is that it can print of flat sheets, and it is the predominant technology used in flatbed printing. It can also be used to apply an image directly to fabric.
Digitally Printed Wallpaper:
Wallpaper in short runs can be done very effectively with UV curable printing equipment. The material has exceptional durability and the artwork is beautiful and vibrant. Photos or digital art can be expanded to wall size for striking results in both commercial and residential applications.
Products and Materials
Foam Core Board:
Your artwork is printed on a piece of paper on either side of a thickness of Styrofoam. This product is perfect for short duration signage, such as meeting and event signs that will stand on an easel, but isn't recommended for permanent displays.
This is similar to the foam core board, using the same process of displaying artwork on either side of Styrofoam. But Gatorboard is a branded product of International paper that uses moisture-impregnated paper for a more durable, high-quality result.
Ultra Board:
This is also similar to Foam core board, except with sheets of styrene on the Styrofoam rather than paper. It is much less susceptible to warping from humidity changes.
Styrene is a plastic product used extensively in sign making due to its low cost, durability, and ease of cutting.
Sintra is a foamed PVC board used extensively in sign making. It is often used outdoors because of its resistance to rain, wind, and sunlight. It comes in thicknesses up to 1.5"
Often called "plastic cardboard", coroplast is made of a fluted polypropylene plastic material. It is an affordable, lightweight, sign-making product.
50 Point Board:
Named for its thickness of .050", 50 Point Board is a 100% recycled board commonly used for 22x28" signs that will be fit into sign stands. It can also be recycled with cardboard.

Two years ago, my sweet mother passed away on Easter Sunday. I was deployed to Afghanistan at the time. My sister had the unfortunate job of phoning in the obscenely early morning hours Monday to tell me the devastating news.
This year, I borrowed an idea from a friend, whose stepmother was widowed at a young age with a newborn baby boy. Each year, on her husband's birthday, she and her son wrote messages on balloons to his father and released them. I thought it was a touching gesture, and a great way to keep him in their lives. I want to do the same for my family, particularly my nieces and nephews, and my own children
if I can ever trick someone into marriage and babies when I have them.
They chose his birthday, we chose Easter Sunday. First, my mother's birthday is in January and it's way too cold to want to be outside doing something like this. Second, my mother appreciated death; she spent the bulk of her years as a nurse working in hospice. She would appreciate the celebratory nature of balloons honoring the day she died.
We gathered four dozen balloons and a half dozen permanent markers and made for the cemetery.
As children, we all had colors assigned to us (mine was yellow). My mother's sister started the color tradition by purchasing Christmas gifts for us each year, identical except for their colors. The color tradition still surfaces in adulthood now and again. Each family received their "color" balloons to write on. We also purchased additional balloons in pink, white, and lavender (Mom loved her some purple, and always sent pink clouds in her letters to her children away from home), in case any balloons popped or got loose. They did.
The messages were all unique; some were funny, some were tear-inducing, but all were sweet, and Mom/Nona/Lady would love them all.
When everyone had written their notes, we counted off and released the balloons up to heaven for Mom to read.
After the balloons were released we watched until they couldn't be seen anymore. Then we visited with one another, and enjoyed the beautiful spring day and the serene location. A few tears were shed.
The cemetery was bustling with people, although, I'm fairly certain our group was the largest. Easter Sunday is an appropriate day to remember those who have passed on, and a great reminder that death isn't the end, even if sometimes it feels like it. While some of my siblings initially thought the idea a strange one, nearly everyone said they want to make it a tradition every Easter (a few said they want to do it every major holiday, though I'm mostly sure they were joking).
We love you, Mom… and we look forward to sharing our lives with you every year in this very special way.

Mercat a La Planxa Ratings and Reviews
Its higher end tapas with higher end prices, but totally worth the price because this place is amazing. The food is as good as the best restaurants I visited in Spain, and the service was top notch. Coupled with an amazing view-this makes for a real winner! Must have the patatas bravas!
Our second visit to Mercat a La Planxa and we enjoyed it as much if not more as last time.
A special way to dine and taste a variety of special unique, fresh dishes...all were delicious!
It is nice to order a few, test your hunger level and order more if you'd like.
I have discovered that it is nice to order one of the fresh, very tasty salads to add to the flavor of the other dishes.
Not one bad thing to say from host to server to assist staff.
Steps from the hotel we stay at and it can be as fast or leisurely as you would like to enjoy!!
The friend I was meeting had recommended this place, and I'm glad she did! The food was yummy - we met for brunch, and they had options for both breakfast-type food and more traditional (and savory) tapas. We also had the option of ordering any item a la carte, so you could get one pancake or piece of french toast alongside a breakfast meal, without having to order two complete meals. It was also quiet enough for us to have a lovely catch-up conversation without having to shout. The weather may have dissuaded many people from going out for breakfast - we met at 10am, which is normally a busy time. Definitely a new favorite place!
Fabulous! Hadn't been there in a long time, so didn't know the chef had changed, but every course was fabulous--we did the luxury wine paired courses - yumm!
Mateo, our waiter, was SO KNOWLEDGABLE, and courteous and proficient, as were all the other staff who kept appearing throughout our dining experience.
I mentioned sadness that the chocolate croquettes I had so fondly remembered were no longer on the menu, and they brought us complimentary chocolate bon bons as a substitute. (Quite nice! Still would like to see the croquettes back, though...)
The ham croquettes were maybe my favorite, but the bruschetta course was oh so good!!, the beef filet was perfectly prepared, and the seafood paella, the last, crowning course, was so good - but truth be told, most of it came home--was absolutely satiated, and very content!
Indeed, a very pricey evening, but was extremely pleased with the fabulously prepared food, wine pairings, and the kind of service you always hope for! Thank you for a great evening!
We had a 6:30 reservation on New Years Eve, and were called at 3pm to be informed that they were only offering a fixed menu that evening. Hardly time to make alternate plans. Our real concern was over the fast pace that they delivered each course, before we were even close they would set the next dish on the table along with the wine pairing. We felt rushed throughout the dinner. Surprisingly the restaurant was only have full when we left, not a real issue to provide a second seating for the evening. This is not the restaurant that I remember from 20010. For a $400 dinner, they need to pay far greater attention to the details.
Attentive service. Quiet, intimate setting. In love with the decor and ambience. After spending our summer vacation in Barcelona, we were so thrilled with the excellent and authentic food. Try the tapas - we had the pulpo, papas bravas, cured meats, scallops. The sangria is also a must. The staff went out of their way to make us feel special. Would come again next time in Chicago!
The restaurant was a perfect location for our post movie dinner. The food was fantastic and service was very fast. We tried many of the plates and everything was excellent. Great views with the floor to ceiling windows. Would highly recommend for a nice quiet dinner.
We appreciated the chef offering us a vegetarian tasting menu, which we expected to be on the smaller end, but were surprised instead to receive plate after plate of delicious vegetarian tapas. The vegetarian paella was divine! The mushrooms and potato dish was delicious! Samuel, our server, put in an extra effort to get us to "Hamilton" on time, which we deeply appreciated. His service was spot on! Even the host was extraordinarily friendly and remembered our coats without looking at the ticket. Thank you for a wonderful evening!
Everything was going so well until the serving of the Beef. The Beef was rare but extremely tough. We observed that the Chef has cut the steak with the grain and it was like eating a rubberized Beef Jerky. If the Beef portion had been Tender, we would have given a much higher rating. Its difficult to pay your prices and get such poor quality beef. After spending more than two weeks in Spain we expected more from the food you prepared.
Love this Mercat a la Planxa in the Blackstone hotel. The tapas that my daughter and I shared were awesome. So delicious, creative and the presentation was wonderful!. The dessert was one of the best I have ever had . Olive oil cake with orange marmelade and kava sorbet.
Seated at an uncomfortably tiny table for two in a high traffic corridor. Asked to be reseated. Got a table for two that we had to move away from neighbors, that was overlooking a bus stop. Got our drink order wrong. Lousy wine for price. Inconsistent tapas.
small plates? more like tiny plates. flavors were ok, but portions were limited to 4 bites on several dishes. quality of some ingredients was lower than expected... the serrano ham on their salad was stringy, scallops were very tiny, cheese fondue on dates ruined the dish. overall an ok experience but way too many better places in the area.
We selected Mercat a La Planxa to celebrate a special occasion and it didn't disappoint. The Luxury Tasting Menu was a great way for us to try many items on the menu and have a great culinary experience. The service was outstanding and they did a very great job making the evening special for our celebration by surprising us with a special desert and champagne at the end. Even though Jose Garces is no longer the Executive Chef, it was still an Iron Chef experience!
We ate there last night before the symphony and the food is still fabulous! The mushrooms and potatoes, stuffed dates, grilled pork and creme brûlée with a twist were all memorable and would do it again and again! Our waiter, Doc, knew his menu and guided us to a great menu experience. The menu has been updated and is still made with great flavors. Go!
We were seated at a small table by a window facing Michigan Avenue. It was a beautiful view -perfect for our dinner before the symphony! We were unfamiliar with the menu and tapas but our server, Doc, was so helpful and friendly! The food was delicious! Fabulous evening -delicious dinner and amazing symphony performance!

Naked man walking on Kinard road arrested on 4 charges
by Teresa Eubanks, Journal Editor
A man who said he was "high on ICE" was arrested after he was found walking along a road, swinging a flashlight around to illuminate his naked body and yelling.
Deputies were dispatched to the scene at Juniper Creek Bridge on CR 73 in Kinard on Feb. 27 at 3:50 a.m.
When Deputy Jessica Page arrived, she tried to talk with Frank Justin Huber, 42, of Altha, who told her, "You're going to have to kill me. I will tell them I done it."
When she told him to put the flashlight down, he refused and ran to the north end of the bridge.
The deputy repositioned her patrol car and then activated the emergency lights to warn oncoming traffic as well as illuminate Huber.
When asked once again to put down the flashlight, Huber responded by throwing it onto the west shoulder of the road.
The deputy grabbed the metal flashlight to ensure it would not be used as a weapon and approached Huber, ordering him to kneel and put his hands on his head.
Huber appeared to comply but as she cuffed one hand he tried pulling away. She regained control until he snatched his hand back again, this time pinning her hand between the restraints.
When she released the handcuffs, Huber swung his free hand in an attempt to hit her.
She dodged the blow and he ran south on CR 73 before he stopped at the intersection with CR 5.
She moved the patrol car so the lights once again caught Huber in the early morning darkness. As Page stepped out of the patrol car, Huber charged toward her "swinging both hands, attempting to strike me," her report stated.
The deputy avoided contact but he charged toward her a second time. After ignoring her orders to stop, he was met by the sting of a Taser barb in his chest.
He was then handcuffed and taken into custody.
As they were en route to the jail, Huber stated, "I'm an addict…so what. You're going to have to kill me, because I love that s***."
Once at the jail, Huber refused to get out of the patrol car or submit to leg restraints. Pepper spray was then used. As others were helping get him out of the patrol car, Huber punched out a side window.
He was charged with exposure of sexual organs, disorderly intoxication, resisting an officer with violence and criminal mischief under $200.
Huber is being held in the Calhoun County Jail on $25,000 bond.

A multi-method approach to measuring health-state valuations
Existing techniques for eliciting health-state valuations incorporate both strength of preferences for health states and other values such as risk aversion or time preference. This paper presents a new methodological approach that allows estimation of a set of core underlying health-state values based on responses elicited through multiple measurement techniques. A study was undertaken in which respondents completed the visual analogue (VAS) scale, time trade-off (TTO), standard gamble (SG) and person trade-off (PTO) for a range of states. By specifying flexible parametric functions to explain responses on each measurement technique, we estimated both the underlying strength of preference values for the health states in the study and the values for a set of auxiliary parameters characterising risk attitudes, discount rates, distributional concerns and scale distortion effects in the group of respondents. This study demonstrates that it is possible to understand responses on these four different measurement techniques based on a consistent set of core values. The approach presented here can provide insights into different sources of observed variation in VAS, TTO, SG and PTO responses and facilitate appropriate adjustment of valuations elicited through different methods for use in summary health measures and economic analyses.

Why Bluegrass and Old Time Are Not The Same
Reflections on how bluegrass music is different from old time Appalachian music and why there can be no name that will cover both no matter what Nashville or the media is presently saying . (From three email posts to Banjo-L by Allen Feldman)
It has been suggested that we need an inclusive cover name that would bring oldtime music bluegrass, clawgrass and dawg music under the same umbrella in order to attract new audiences. The unfortunate trend in this country is to homogenize things. I think oldtime music stands against homogenization; it celebrates an intractable, idiosyncratic difference. To come up with a cover name that unites oldtime with bluegrass and other styles like roots music etc. is to accept the myth bluegrass tells itself about its origins. But that myth is only a half-truth.
I, for one, do not accept the myth that bluegrass is the lineal descendent of oldtime music. Rather, bluegrass is a modern very urbanized genre, connected to the 1930s-50s industrialization of rural Southerners, that drew on a diversity of musical genres that
were available through radio and phonograph such as oldtime, western swing, gospel, big band jazz, blues, parlor songs, Hawaiian music, etc in order to create something new that expressed the experience of mountain folk in urban exile. Ralph Stanley describes the bluegrass sensibility exactly in those very terms. It's the music of folk who were losing their traditions and past and used this form to hold on to and recapture their memory of a pre-industrial lifestyle.
In oldtime music the tradition has not been lost, it may be resisting change but it has not been displaced, it is not a modern music. I for one celebrate the fact that oldtime music is not bluegrass or dawg music or new grass or even claw grass (which sounds like an agricultural disease or killer weed). Oldtime works from different tonal centers, it uses open tunings and harmonic resonant overtones and incidentals, it mixes non-tempered scales with harmonization or it's completely modal. Compared to bluegrass or country western its largely dance centered and not song centered, many of its songs are verses to dance tunes, and most of its songs were meant for solo and unaccompanied performance in their oldest form. It is often not strictly symmetrical in its rhythms; a-rhythmic fiddle and banjo tunes are common particularly in West Virginia and Kentucky. Drones, bowed or fifth stringed, are central and not incidental to the music.
Yes, I know bluegrass has some of these characteristics though in a much more domesticated and tamed state and certain forms of oldtime music in the 1920s and 30s appear as transitional bluegrass antecedents like the Carter Family, the Mainer's, the Stoneman's, the Delmore's and the Blue Sky Boys, but then there are the Carter Brothers, the Weem's Stringband, Doc Boggs, French Carpenter, they are in a different cosmos from the Country Gentlemen or Dawg Music.
The social organization of the bluegrass band with its division between virtuoso soloist and backup musicians is a product of the mechanized era and of urban individualism. It is a product of mass media and of the proscenium stage (audience/performer divisions, frontstage/ backdrop divisions) where it was originally designed to be performed, or around the microphone– the electronic acoustic equivalent of a proscenium stage. Bluegrass is a musical genre that is also a dramatic form with its soloist and chorus.
This stage-centered music can be contrasted to the very different communalism of the oldtime session, which was part of the Afro-Anglo-Celtic community barn, or kitchen and/or circle dance. Oldtime music's anti-individualism is characterized by ensemble playing unison melody lines, or antiphonic call and response, forms in which back up instruments may be welcomed but are not essential and can readily be dispensed with, without diminishing the genre. Tunes may not have a beginning or an end. Tommy Jarrell once described the circle as the effect he tried to reach in playing a fiddle tune, a melody that went round and round in an endless continuous curve.
It is true that oldtime was crudely adapted to the proscenium stage and to mass media very late in its 250 year history, 1920-40, but only for a rather short period of 20 odd years less than 1/10th of its history. The commercial success of oldtime music of the 78 records was short lived, it presented 200-year-old sounds and modified these somewhat for mass media markets. But this commercialization was not the final evolutionary moment of oldtime music, nor was it a summing up, many more traditions and styles did not get recorded than did.
And the commercial string band ensemble sound was not pervasive everywhere only in certain locales. In Kentucky, West Virginia, Round Peak other ensemble and performance formats endured and were not displaced by commercial sounds. For instance Wade Ward two finger picked up the neck when he recorded with the Bogtrotters, considering it a more appropriate modern style of banjo picking, and we only have recordings of him playing the archaic 200-year-old clawhammer style because of field collectors. What was commercially recorded of oldtime music in the 1920s was highly selective and some of this selective material contributed to the development of bluegrass. Like a runoff into a large rising river but a lot stayed in isolate puddles with their own separate currents resisting homogenization and standardization.
Bluegrass is all about standardization, that's why every body plays Scruggs style, or Keith style, such terms are alien to oldtime music in its original context. To talk of Koken style banjo sounds ridiculous in oldtime music. Most oldtime banjo players do not want to sound identical to Walt Koken, no matter how much they admire or learn from him, the way folks want to sound like Earl Scruggs. Then there is the West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky traditions where we often have the strictly solo musician who requires no ensemble backup context whatsoever, folks like Roscoe Holcomb, French Carpenter, Edn Hammons. [AND IN FACT, AN ENSEMBLE WOULD FLATTEN OUT AND SQUARE UP THEIR MUSIC, THUS DESTROYING IT – DWIGHT] The communitarian and the extreme soloist traditions in old time music are very foreign to the mechanical coordination and orchestration of the bluegrass band, with people weaving back and forth in and out of the microphone, standing awhile in the spotlight to take an often improvised solo. It's all fruit but it is also apple and oranges, and they don't taste or smell the same.
Bluegrass is a diverse sound, between Sam Bush and Ralph Stanley there is as much or more aesthetic distance as between Ralph and Doc Boggs, yet bluegrass festivals, like jazz festivals host a wide variety of styles, and period sounds from early bluegrass to jazz-bluegrass without any loss of audience. And even avant garde folks like Dave Grisman or Andy Statman came from a sound bluegrass foundation and still have their bluegrass chops and play at bluegrass festivals. So an alternative inclusive cover name for bluegrass derived genres is a non-issue for bluegrass. The real issue as per this suggestion for an inclusive term pertains to "oldtime," and whether the bluegrass market, audience and promoters will welcome it in their ranks. And the answer is they do and they don't, depends on the group. I for one would not like an inclusive name in this context because it sounds like it will end up in a situation where the bluegrass market decides what "oldtime music" will be publicly promoted and which will not– bluegrass will end up defining oldtime music. Even now as sections of the bluegrass scene claim the term 'roots' music they implicitly present themselves as the oldest original indigenous American music – for that is what the term roots means. So Dolly Parton by singing bluegrass songs and psuedo Appalachian ballads she composed herself can now claim she has a roots album and does roots music. So if bluegrass stands at the root at the beginning where does that leave oldtime– in the antediluvian period?
If it helps, the Irish came up with a cover name many decades ago – "Trad" {for traditional} – and Irish performers and audiences can decide for themselves if they belong to that category. Trad for some reasons has evaded the marketing faddism of world music, and the newer roots music.
The other thing that worries me about bluegrass defining oldtime music, is that many oldtime ensembles are already halfway to a bluegrass sound based on their approach to backup. Current styles of guitar and stand-up bass backup used in many oldtime bands are actually stylistically from bluegrass. The fine art of oldtime guitar backup or even of oldtime bands without continuous chordal backup of any kind has given way to the heavy thumping sound and rhythmic geometry ( Dwight's squared off meters) of plucked bass and bluegrass guitar tempo favored by modernized clog dancers and festival jams and groove music. And this backup style has 1. changed the way a dance tune sounds and is played as compared to the fiddle/banjo duet sound and 2.moves oldtime ensemble sounds closer to bluegrass ensemble dynamics. A lot of audiences respond to this sound and it can lead them to an enjoyment of oldtime music because of the percussive rhythm. But it would serve nobody well if this ensemble sound displaces other ensemble approaches in oldtime music and other ways to play dance tunes rooted in the diverse tradition of oldtime.
Allen Feldman has been playing oldtime and Irish music on clawhammer banjo and cittern since the 1960s. He is the author of the Northern Fiddler: Music and Musicians of Donegal and Tyrone, Blackstaff Press, 1980.

What Can Insurance Cover?
One of the most common questions that we have at Atlanta Dental Spa is, "Do you accept my insurance?" The answer to that is yes. We do accept all insurance plans as long as your specific plan allows you to go to an out-of-network provider.
What that means is that we are not contracted with any insurance companies, so you would want to make sure that your plan, possibly a PPO plan, will let you go out of network and will pay out-of-network dental offices.
We don't know exactly how much they're going to pay, based on the treatment. We can only estimate when we call and get a breakdown of benefits from that insurance company, and also what they may have paid on services in the past. We are a fee-for-service office, so our patients do pay upfront at the time of the visit, and then we're happy to submit the claims for you. After we submit the claim, the insurance company will reimburse you directly.
How Insurance Works at Atlanta Dental Spa
Atlanta Dental Spa is not contracted with any insurance company and would be considered an out-of-network provider. Our office will help you to optimize your out-of-network benefits for your treatment. See dental financing for more. Patients are reimbursed directly by their insurance carrier after our office has submitted a claim. Atlanta Dental Spa is a fee-for-service practice, which means our patients pay for services on the day the services are provided. As with many medical providers, our fees may exceed the amount insurance carriers pay. Every dental insurance plan has different stipulations regarding access to care and payment for services rendered. Within the same insurance company, benefits may differ depending upon what type of contract employers negotiate with that carrier on an employee's behalf. A plan may include specific inclusions and exclusions that we will not know of in advance; therefore, it is important for the patient to understand his/her dental benefits. Benefits discussed with the patient are only estimates. In the event that a patient's insurance carrier pays under the estimated amount, the patient will be responsible for any remaining balance.
Read on for some advice for ensuring that you can take good care of your oral health and keep dental costs in check:
Prioritizing Dental Needs vs. Your Coverage
Don't hesitate to talk to your dentist about financial concerns. If you have limited insurance coverage and don't want to go too far above that coverage ceiling, your dentist can prioritize your dental work so that it fits your budget and your dental coverage. If you've got a limit per year, your dentist can schedule your needs based on that limit and could suggest the most cost effective treatments possible. (For example: if you want smile improvements but can't afford porcelain veneers, your dentist might suggest tooth bonding or Invisalign.)
Dental Financing
If some or all of the services you want won't be fully covered by your insurance policy, ask about dental financing. Atlanta Dental Spa offers dental options including interest-free financing, reducing the burden by giving you a small monthly payment to make instead of a large lump sum (and instead of meaning you have to wait to get work done that you want done now). Click here to see our Dental Financing page
Talk to Your Dental Insurance Company (Atlanta)
Before having extensive work done, consider approaching your insurance company with your quote for dental work to find out exactly how much will be covered. There may be areas you're not sure of and your insurance company can confirm, for certain, how much they will cover. This way, you won't be left with any unpleasant surprises.
Invest in Your Smile
Yes, certain dental services aren't covered by basic dental insurance but the difference they could make to your smile and your confidence levels could result in an amazing return on your investment. Certain dental procedures might even cost less than you expect. Why not set up a consultation with us at the Atlanta Dental Spa and find out what your options are? Sometimes you can be surprised by what we can do 🙂

SCOTT, La. (KLFY)– Repairs to aren't expected to be completed until 2018.
Over 400 students, grades kindergarten through 5th have been relocated to either Scott Middle School or to Moss Prep for the time being.
A modular school is in the works so that all of the students can be reunited again until renovations and repairs are complete for Westside's original campus.
The parents of the students will have a say in the temporary campus.
Principal Lisa Thomas says she wants everyone to be back together as a school family. "So were trying to get us all in once space, in one location, in one facility."
The modular campus will be completed by January 2017.
The projected time for Westside Elementary's original campus to be renovated and up to code will not be until 2018.

Salmond's plan for indy 'coup' as he claims independence possible without new poll
ALEX Salmond was last night accused of attempting to stage a "coup" after suggesting Scotland could become independent without a referendum.
Days after urging Scots to accept the country's "democratic verdict" the First Minister vowed to continue his quest to break up Britain."
He suggested that a ballot is "only one of a number of routes" to independence, and warned that "the writing's on the wall for Westminster".
Mr Salmond added that another vote could be justified if the UK left the EU, or if Westminster did not honour its promises to grant extra powers to the Scottish Parliament.
Opponents condemned his outburst as "undemocratic" and an attempt to "ignore the sovereign will of the Scottish people".
In an interview yesterday, Mr Salmond launched a tirade against over-55s who voted overwhelmingly against independence, describing them as a "blockage".
Alex Salmond lost. It is not for him to try to overthrow the will of the Scottish people in some sort of coup
He also claimed that Westminster politicians had "tricked" Scotland into voting against independence and would "renege" on new powers for the Scottish Parliament.
Speaking from his home in Aberdeenshire, he suggested that independence could be declared without another referendum.
He said: "You establish a parliament and you establish successively more powers until you have a situation where you're independent in all but name, and then presumably, you declare yourself independent. Many countries have proceeded through that route."
Mr Salmond signalled his intention to step down as First Minister at a press conference on Friday, an event the Scottish Daily Express and several other newspapers were barred from attending.
After conceding defeat on Friday morning, he pledged to help "bring Scotland together" so that "we shall go forward as one nation".
But his remarks yesterday provoked fury among opposition leaders, who accused him of trying to railroad the country into independence against the will of the people.
Labour leader Johann Lamont said: "Alex Salmond lost. It is not for him to try to overthrow the will of the Scottish people in some sort of coup."
Mr Salmond's sentiments were echoed by Jim Sillars, the former SNP deputy leader, who said yesterday that nationalists should demand that Scotland be declared independent if separatist parties win a majority at the 2016 Holyrood election.
Mr Salmond went on to accuse Westminster of deliberately deceiving the Scottish public over new powers for Holyrood.
Making a bizarre Star Trek reference during an interview he said: "I think the wrath of Khan will be as of nothing compared to the wrath of a No voter who has been gulled by the Westminster leadership."
The First Minister also rounded on Scotland's pensioners, whose votes helped to preserve the Union.
He said: "My generation will indeed contemplate whether or not we are a blockage to the aspiration of the younger generation."
He also claimed that the over-55s had "impeded progress for the next generation" by voting No.
Tory deputy leader Jackson Carlaw said: "The First Minister's grace in defeat barely lasted a day.
"He claimed on Friday that he accepted the outcome of what was the largest democratic vote in Scottish political history, yet going by today's extraordinary outburst there is anything but acceptance in the Salmond household."
Yesterday, Downing Street confirmed that a timetable had been agreed for further powers for Scotland.
A spokesman said it would not depend on reaching agreement over English votes for English laws.
David Cameron added: "New powers over tax, spending and welfare are on their way to Scotland" and he said the timetable for setting out the plans would be met.

This was in The Independent in March looking at some new research that argues that there are no health benefits to drinking and that previous study findings were flawed.
Studies which suggest that drinking alcohol moderately has health benefits are flawed, according to new research.
Previous studies have suggested that drinking alcohol, for example a glass of wine, can cut the risk of heart disease.
However, a study reviewing 87 past research papers concluded that the idea that drinking at a reasonable level was flawed.
Canadian researchers claimed that the studies were biased, poorly designed and pointed to positive effects that were unlikely in reality.
The team behind the study published in the 'Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs' also highlighted concerns about groups of "abstainers" who were compared to moderate drinkers, despite giving up drinking due to ill health.
This meant that those who were classed as drinking occasionally, at fewer than one drink per week, lived the longest.
But by taking into account study design issues, such as the abstainers, researchers found that moderate drinking had no link to longevity.
And Dr Stockwell said he doubted that drinking infrequently was the reasons that "occasional" drinkers had lower mortality rates because the level of alcohol in their bodies was "biologically insignificant".
"A fundamental question is, who are these moderate drinkers being compared against?" said lead author Dr Tim Stockwell, director of the University of Victoria's Centre for Addictions Research in British Columbia, Canada.
Of the 87 studies assessed, only 13 did not have an issue with the selection of abstainers.
Therefore, alcohol should not be linked to people being healthier, said Dr Stockwell.
The study assessed health in terms of drinking in general, rather than specific types of drink.
Dr Stockwell said: "There's a general idea out there that alcohol is good for us, because that's what you hear reported all the time, but there are many reasons to be sceptical."
Dr Harshal Kirane, director of Addiction Services at Staten Island University Hospital in New York, who was not involved with the study, told CBS News that the research "highlights the limitations of past efforts to characterize the impact of low-volume alcohol use."
He told CBS News that authors have highlighted "pitfalls in the current literature."
So there goes that justification then ……
Plus two new sober blogs and bloggers to support and follow lovely people 🙂

Everyone saying how you made a mistake and should be given a chance…your comment below shows that you have no remorse for what you did. 🙁 Thankfully you didn't injure or kill somebody with your "mistake". You made a 'CHOICE'…not a mistake. Hopefully the family that loves you will open their eyes and not continue to support and enable your bad choices.


text: This is part of a statue in Turin's University district. Now for preference, I don't bother with iron sculptures. I feel they are clunky and often out of keeping with their environment - then they rust and look dreadful! But this one made me stop to have a look. In in this case I didn't feel impelled to melt it down to make something more useful. What is symbolic about the figure - man, hands, mouth or shout? In this shot he does look like he's made from Lego pieces. So there are overtones of construction and, by the same token, deconstruction. Let's go for shout, because it's unusual for a symbol. A shout has some kind of formal association (often unwelcome) in all traditions. There's the Town Crier in England and Night Criers and Night Whistlers in France. The Greeks and Trojans gave shouts of halala as they charged into battle. For Romans it was the clamour! But in the Koran the shout is all about disaster, perhaps a whirlwind to punish the unjust. As is the way with symbols, the opposite can apply. In the procession along the Sacred Way from Athens to Eleusis, shouts of celebration accompany the Hiera (holy mysteries). One god in particular, Iacchos, personified the shout. In this case, his association with Demeter means fecundity, love and life. When a new born baby is born what's the first thing it does? A lot of shouting!

I always hear a story about a black man beating on, or killing a black woman. Now, black men are even kiling their white girlfriends! You would hardly EVER hear about a white man abusing a black woman and black men abuse women in general more than white men do. Why? Dont get offended just give me a logica answer.
Most Helpful Girl
And I qoute "I always hear a story about a black man beating, or killing a black women. Now black men are even killing their white girlfriends!"
So it was acceptable, didn't matter, or wasn't as serious when black women were getting abused or murdered but when it's white women it needs to be brought to attention and even deserves an exclamation mark? 😒114|71|1
It shouldn't matter what race is being abused because each and everyone of them are. You seemed to care an awful lot about the caucasian women but what about the Hispanic, Indian, or Asian ones? Tbh you didn't really seem to give much of a damn about the black women just more of the fact that black men were the ones doing it.
Well do you realize Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian, Indian, and any other ethnicty of guys also abuse their women? Why are you singling out the black guys you certainly didn't single out the black women getting abused -_-

I actually do care about black women. If black women really respected themselves, they would turn to white men.
Please do not say idiotic things to me. If we turned to white men we wouldn't be black now would we?
And you're nonsense white men beat and abuse women also except they take everything to the extreme and usually for no purpose... Like people have already pointed out shooting up schools, raping women and children, and so much more. So is that really treating us better? beat vs. Getting killed... Hmm I wonder?
But seriously obviously none of it's acceptable so why the hell are you sitting here trying to down a race and men when there's of every race that are abbusive? You and your race are no better so get off of your fucking high horse 👿

Plans by Google to add photographs of British streets to its online maps could be referred to the UK's privacy watchdog.
Google's Street View matches 360-degree photographs of locations with the company's online maps.
It not only gives users the ability to see addresses and streets but also passers-by who were captured as the photograph was taken.
The service has already been launched in the US and the process of photographing streets in the UK is believed to have just got under way.
Data protection
But Privacy International, a UK rights group, thinks the technology could break data protection laws.
It believes that Google would need the consent of any person who appeared in one of the Street View photographs.
It's now written to the company asking for more information about the system and is also threatening to ask the Information Commissioner for a suspension of the service in the UK.
Google said it works hard to make sure that its products respect privacy laws in each country in which they are launched.
It has incorporated face-blurring technology in the US version of Street View and has also launched similar technology to blur vehicle licence plates.
A spokesperson added: 'The technology isn't perfect – it will sometime miss a face or licence plate, for example if they are partially covered, or at a difficult angle – but we make it easy within the product for users to report a face or licence plate for extra blurring, or to ask for their image to be removed.
'And of course, we'll keep working hard to make sure the product keeps improving. We think this type of privacy-enabling technology is the best way of meeting the challenge of continuing to respect people's expectation of privacy, while not stifling the development of new products and services that everyone can enjoy and benefit from.'
Potentially illegal
Which? technology editor Matthew Bath said: 'Google does face a potential headache with the launch of Street View.
'While taking photos of people in public is legal, reusing them for commercial gain – and Google is an advertising-based service – or showing a photo that would lead to substantial distress of the person in the photo is potentially illegal.
'While Google says that it is going to great lengths to ensure that people can't be identified, and can be removed from a photo if they request it, the fact remains that many consumers may inadvertently end up captured in a Street View photo and displayed on the internet for all to see.'
