Detroit Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron expressed surprise, shock and sadness over the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, the first pope to do so in nearly 600 years.
The resignation of the 85-year-old pope effective Feb. 28 was announced Monday morning during a meeting of Vatican cardinals. The pope leads more than 1 billion Roman Catholics worldwide.
The Archdiocese of Detroit on Monday morning released a statement by Vigneron, who was appointed to the post in 2009 by Benedict. He replaced Cardinal Adam Maida.
Like most of my fellow Catholics, I woke this morning to the very surprising news that Our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI is resigning his service as the successor of St. Peter, Vigneron says in the statement. Quickly after the surprise followed sadness, a sense of grief at losing his fatherly care for all us bishops, clergy, and faithful. We have come to love him very much and will miss him.
Vigneron was born in Mount Clemens and grew up in Anchorville in St. Clair County, north of New Baltimore. The leader of 1.4 million Catholics in Southeast Michigan, he compares the popes situation to that of an elderly parent.
Most of us know in our own personal lives what it means to see a parent grow old and decline in ability, he says. That is the sense we bring to this announcement. Our spiritual father has determined, by the best light given to him in prayer, that for the good of us all he must lay down his office.
Vigneron asks Catholics to pray for Benedict.
It was with the support of our daily prayers that Pope Benedict passed his years in the Chair of Peter and has come to this point. I invite all Catholics to pray all the more ardently for the Holy Father Pope Benedict, that God sustain him in these last weeks of his papacy and guide him through what lies ahead.
And we look to the future with confidence, that the Lord who has given us this great pope and loving father, will give us a new shepherd of equal merit.
Vigneron attended Immaculate Conception grade school and high school at Sacred Heart Seminary in Detroit, where he was to conduct a news conference later Monday morning.

When I was a teenager, I kept important personal things in shoeboxes. This is kinda like that.
That one follower / person you follow on tumblr that gets you hot and bothered. Ergh.
This was my favourite part of the episode.
Somebody get me this girl's number. Now.
(via hitlershomeboy)
Dear God or genetics or who/whatever is responsible for this:
Thank you SO MUCH, for making me this fucking attractive. Damn.
So, here's a little look at my life and how fucking rad it is:
1. Got awarded a Teaching Assistantship in the Master's of Arts English program at University of Alaska Anchorage. That means, tuition covered, plus pay. For the next two years. Doing something I fucking LOVE. YES.
2. I got into the program because of two reasons:
I went to the Pacific Rim Conference and had an amazing time, did a presentation at a panel, and found that my ideas were very well received and caused much discussion. I was happier in that moment than I had been in years. I felt on fire, mentally, and every crazy passion for simply swimming in a sea of unpossessable, but profound knowledge and ideas just made me feel like my soul was tangible for second. It unlocked some potential in me I had repressed. I was re-lit that weekend. So I applied for the TA and MA programs to see what would come of it. I took a risk.
The presentation became a writing sample that then became my Bachelor's thesis at UAS. This 47 page thesis is about videogames as "procedural allegory" which if read n particular ways, expresses truth and ethics relationally, not empirically. Yeah. I fucking love videogames enough to put them down long enough to write close to 50 pages on em!
3. Now that I'm in, I have the next two years booked. I finally have a plan! A schedule! I have never had that and I can't wait to make my love of language and thought turn into a 2 year career for me. One that will transfer on to newer and greater things. I'm so jacked on this!
4. I'll be away from my hometown for 2 years. That's going to be both amazing and nerve racking. But I know I need to get out of here for a while. I love my hometown, but it's been a decade. A little over, even.
5. This semester has changed my entire life. This 2011-2012 school year was one of the most bi-polar school years of all time. Last semester, me and my girlfriend of two years went through a shitty, stupid, confusing breakup that lent itself to rash actions, inconsiderate behavior, and terrible work environments. It got better as the bile was let loose, but much like throwing up, we still have a bit of a bad taste for each other still. I was really hard on myself and preoccupied all that semester. Then, next semester began and I started to focus solely on what I could do to move past it, be happy, and be at peace. I saw a counselor, which greatly helped, and helped me to come the realizations I need to have to break down the grinding, stiff gears in my head that were holding me back. Habits I could watch. I felt happier. and I began to slowly let her go and go. Aside from a few moments of bad judgement and awkward hang out sessions, things were slowly scarring over. By the time I had become swamped in in my work, I had regarded 'us' as just another moment where two people with uncomplimentary issues collide and break each other's sore spots and just couldn't recover without running. And who she was is no longer attractive to me. And neither is she now. I haven't trivialized her, I've just let her be what she is. And better still, I'm letting myself be who I am. Not what her or anyone else ever wanted me to be. That feels amazing. Now, I'm set up to go make money and go to school and hangout with some people that really speak my language. So stoked to nerd out all the time!
5. I got diagnosed with ADD a few days back. And I got my medication figured out today. I'm really glad I got it sorted out. I feel so on top it all :)
6. I'm so happy to move out of UAS housing. It's a like M. Night's "The Village." Can't really explain why. hahaha.
I'm so happy right now. YEAH.
I'm pretty sure I have a big ol crush on this woman.

Cuisinart EM-100 Espresso Machine
What is included with the Cuisinart EM-100 Espresso machine? Does it come with a stainless steel pitcher, tamper, etc.? And what is the warranty?
Free shipping on orders over $50. No sales tax!
The Cuisinart EM-100 Espresso Machine is a great combination of stainless steel style and easy operation at an affordable price. This versatile espresso machine can brew using ground coffee or ESE (Easy Serve Espresso) pods, and pulls a great shot thanks to its powerful 15 bar pump. A cup heating tray on the top of the machine will make sure you have plenty of warm cups on hand, making it great for entertaining. With the Cuisinart EM-100 Espresso Machine, you can also create cappuccinos, lattes, and more using its stainless steel steam wand and included milk frothing pitcher. A large, removable 53oz water reservoir means there's plenty of time between refills, and a removable drip tray helps make cleaning easy.
With the Cuisinart EM-100, you have the choice to brew using ground coffee or pods. This machine comes with single shot, double shot, and ESE pod baskets, so you have a variety of brewing options to meet your needs. Brewing with ground coffee is great for those learning the art of espresso making, while brewing with pods reduces clean up and ensures consistent results.
On the front of the Cuisinart EM-100 Espresso Machine are the power button, a heating indicator light, and 2 control knobs. The large function knob in the center controls brewing and steaming/hot water output, and features icons for ease-of-use. The smaller knob above the power button lets you select whether you would like steam or hot water dispensed when you turn the center knob, and also heats the boiler to proper steaming temperature.
After pressing the power button on the Cuisinart EM-100, the red heating light will illuminate to let you know the boiler is not yet at brewing temperature. Once the light goes off, the machine is ready to go. Simply add ground coffee or a pod to the portafilter basket, lock the portafilter into place, and turn the center function knob to the coffee icon on the left. When your desired amount of espresso has been reached, turn the knob to the center to stop the flow.
Pressure plays a large role in a great espresso extraction, and helps to achieve a layer of rich crema on top of your shots. Without proper pressure, espresso can taste weak. The Cuisinart EM-100 Espresso Machine features a powerful 15 bar pump that ensures youll get consistent (and delicious) results every time you brew.
For making creamy cappuccinos, lattes, and other café-style drinks, the Cuisinart EM-100 comes with a stainless steel frothing wand and frothing pitcher. To produce steam, turn the small steam/hot water knob to the steam icon and wait for the boiler to heat to the proper temperature. The red heating light will turn off once the proper temperature is reached, and when you turn the center function knob to the steam icon on the right, steam will be dispensed from the frothing wand. When youre done frothing, simply turn the center knob to the off position.
If you want to enjoy tea, hot chocolate, or an Americano, the EM-100 can dispense hot water right from the steam wand. For hot water, turn the small steam/hot water knob to the hot water icon (two water droplets) and wait for the boiler to heat. When the heating light turns off, just turn the center knob to the hot water icon. When the desired amount of hot water has been reached, turn the knob back.
This Cuisinart Espresso Machine has a large 53oz water reservoir, enough for almost 25 shots of espresso between refills. The reservoir is also removable, for easy filling and cleaning. You can keep your water tasting fresh by periodically rinsing the reservoir with warm water and non-abrasive detergent.
The drip tray, located beneath the coffee dispensing spout, ensures your countertops are kept clean. The drip tray on the Cuisinart EM-100 Espresso Machine is removable, so its easy to dump and maintain. Like the water reservoir, the drip tray can be cleaned using warm water and non-abrasive detergent.
The Cuisinart EM-100 Espresso Machine is housed in stylish and durable stainless steel. The frothing wand is also made of stainless steel, so it's easy to clean with a damp cloth after use. Black plastic accents and a red heating indicator light add to the machines modern look.
If you would like to know a little about the many types of espresso machines we sell, this would be a good video to get you started. This video covers the machines we sell and based on your lifestyle, what you like to drink, and ease of use. It will give you an overview of different espresso machines and help you determine which one best suits to your needs.
I would watch the video and focus on a particular kind of machine—prosumer, semi-automatic, and super-automatic to decide which kind is ideal for you. Then, you can go and look at individual models to get a better idea of exactly what you want. Of course, if you narrow it down to a few espresso machines and are still undecided, give us a call and we would be glad to help!
Chance Great video. Covers the basics and really helps you find the category that fits your life. Super auto for me!

Coffee Lover
I have to start off by saying I am thrilled by the performance of this machine which is my first. After spending months researching different makes/models I finally decided on this machine after reading so many great reviews (expert and consumer). Admittedly though the love affair didn't begin so well when I first purchased this machine. I should have known something was wrong when it wouldn't pull a shot when running only water through the machine which is the recommendation for preparing the machine upon first use. It was horribly noisy and resulted in modest drips coming out of the filter holder instead of a steady stream like you would expect. Being inexperienced with espresso machines I thought it would perform like it should once I put coffee into the filter. Sadly this was not the case. It would take over a minute to pull a shot, drip by drip (if I could pull one at all) which resulted in burnt, bitter, pour down the drain espressos. I tried everything I could think of to make it work, more tamping, less tamping, reseating the water reservoir in case it wasn't sealing properly but nothing worked. Finally I returned the unit for another EM-100 desperately hoping it would work because of all the great reviews I read on this machine. It paid off and the experience has been night and day. From the moment I pulled the second unit out of it's box it has delivered amazing shots. Full bodied flavour with lovely crema. So smooth and it's not nearly as noisy as the first unit. I'm addicted. My next attempt is to master milk frothing for cappuccinos and lattes however like a lot of other people have noted the steam wand does appear to be seated very low on the machine which could make getting the milk container in and out of very difficult. Most people just put the machine on a stand to resolve this issue. Others have noted this machine seems to break down after a short period of time so that remains to be seen, however I have read this same comment on most of the machines within this class so I don't think it's a "Cuisinart" problem. I don't know whether the problems with my first machine were a result of a defective pump or a problem with the seal on the water reservoir but should you experience the same issue right out of the box return it immediately for another one. You won't be disappointed. One other note on this machine, you have to remember to manually stop the pour when you have pulled your shot. I forgot this the second time I used it which resulted in my cup overflowing. Thank goodness for a deep drip tray but all in all it's very easy to use.
Less than 1 month
Pulls great shots for the price and very easy to use. Makes a great first machine.
- Remember to stop the pour after you have pulled your shot. - Clean it immediately after use. Don't leave grinds sitting in the filter for too long. - Power off the machine when you have finished using it (it doesn't turn itself off).

- Reposition the steam wand higher up on the machine. - The cup warmer is a nice to have but it doesn't get that warm however that's minor. I simply put my cups in the microwave for about 10 seconds to warm them up. If you don't have a microwave then the cup warmer is fine.

I was given this machine as a gift. When I wrote my first review, the machine worked fine. But after I have used it daily for just 10 months, it is starting to fall apart. The reservoir leaks, the knob on the front has broken (and been epoxied twice), and the portafilter leaks out the sides during shot pulling. These are inexcusable issues. There are more problems with this machine, but they are based in preference and mechanics (small boiler, poor design.. etc) I would get the Gaggia Espresso for the same money if I were you.

I am pleasantly suprised with the ability this small machine has to make epsresso shots. Personlly I would not have bought it. It was a gift, so I use it daily. I would have bought a Gaggi Classic or a Silvia right off the bat, if I knew what I know 6 months ago. But then I would not have tried this machine either. For the money, I would recommend trying to get a slightly used Gaggia Classic or Silvia. I have read many great reviews on these products. If you find a EM -100 on ebay for less than 150, buy it. It will work for you when you need it most! Just get a good grinder, and trust the bean. :) I have not had any esperience with temperature settings, and do not know for sure if this machine is out of range. I believe it is by the way the shots pull, but I could be wrong!

It rattles a little when in use. I have not opened it up to see what the quality of components are. Im sure its not built with the same amount of forethought as other Italian makes are. But from a company that makes toasters and irons, they did a good job(or got really lucky).

After using a Classic Gaggia for over 10 years, I was astounded with the ease in which to use the Cusinart for Espresso and Cappucino. As long as you follow the instructions, which state to fill the grinds to the top of the grind holder, the machine makes a perfect brew with lots of rich creama.

What is included with the Cuisinart EM-100 Espresso machine? Does it come with a stainless steel pitcher, tamper, etc.? And what is the warranty?
Michael Rosso ♦ Janel...Thank you for your interest in the Cuisinart EM-100 Espresso Machine. The machine does not come with frothing pitcher, but it does come with a plastic tamper and a limited 3 year parts and labor warranty through Cuisinart. I hope this information helps you, however if you have anymore questions please feel free to contact us directly at 1-888-411-5282 option 1. Thanks.
the pump on my cuisinart has stopped working. It will pump hot water and steam on the frother but not on the espresso maker
Michael Rosso ♦ David...Please contact Cuisinart directly at 1-88-767-0190 for help with your machine. Thanks.
Are the filter baskets included with this machine pressurized or dual walled at all? Or are they normal baskets?
mjackson ♦ Andrew,
It is a pressurized system which will give you good shots easily regardless of the grind.It is a good starter machine and is easy to use. I hope this helps.
The frothing wand has "fallen out" of my machine. Is there somewhere out there where I can find a repair manual so I can fix my machine. I am assuming I will need to purchase the frothing wand as well.
Michael Rosso ♦ Robert...Sorry to hear about your misfortune. We do not service Cuisinart machines. You will need to contact Cuisinart directly at 1-800-726-0190 for all parts and service. Best of luck and happy brewing.

I have just received a Cuisinart EM-100 as a gift and would like to lower the temperature at which the "water heating" light sets off.
I live in Santa Fe New Mexico and the boiling point of water here is about 8 degrees lower than at sea level.
The effect is that as I operate the machine to make an expresso, after the heating light has gone out, the water comes into the cup as mainly steam which kills the crema. I believe the setting must be set around 204 degrees F which is boiling point here.
Is it possible to adjust the temperature to a lower setting to work at this altitude (7000 ft ASL)
Ian Norrish
ToddS Ian, there is no way to set the temperature lower. But you can lower the brew temperature by doing a little "temperature surfing". Load your coffee into the portafilter as you always do but before you put the the Portafilter back into the machine turn on the brewing switch. You will the steam come out of the brew group at first and then it will turn into just water. When it does you know that you are below the boiling temperature at your elevation. Then quickly turn off the brew switch, place the portafitler back into the machine and turn the brew switch back on. It sounds like a lot of work but it only takes a few extra seconds the quality of your espresso will be much better. Remember the longer you run the pump before you brew the cooler the brewing temperature will be. If it starts to taste sour then you know that your brew temperature is to low.
Ian Norrish Todd,
Great suggestion, it worked liked a charm.
Many thanks,

Anaya was found guilty of first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of Theresa Vigil, 51, and Austin Urban, 16 in January 2012. Urban had been identified as the boyfriend of Vigil's daughter. While prosecutors said late rent was being the murders, Anaya's ...

of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.

lol thanks for the feedback you guys. so it seems like you guys think the cut would be better without the slash??
i kinda like it, adds a bit of flare. i would like an extra opinion.
even the model has a hard time pulling it off. Honestly thought dude was wearing a beige eyepatch when i scrolled down.
No slash.

Yesterday, I ventured to The Eastern State Penitentiary's "Terror Behind The Walls" annual haunted house. I went with a couple of friends. It was awesome! It was scary but, not as scary as it is made out to be. The only thing that was actually scary was the fact that it was in an old prison from the 1700's.
At the end we went to a coffee place across the street called "Mugshots" I got some mocha frappe. It was pretty good. But they had a lot of art in there. It was really good art. This is one of the pictures that I really liked. I believe it is by an artist named Clinton Reno. He had some other portraits in the coffeehouse that were also excellent but this one stuck out to me the most. One of the cool things was that all the art was donated to this foundation that was there,"Screens 'N' Spokes". They do a big bike ride every year to raise money for MS. Back to the art, it was donated and they were selling really cool pictures like this for only $20!!!

Perk Average Synthetic Wig by Eva Gabor
It never ceases to amaze me how wonderful these wigs are. To me they look all alike when you take them out of the box, but when you actually put them on they really do have their own individual style. Whenever I wear one of my Vogue wigs, people comment on how nice my hair is and sometimes I tell them it is a wig and other times I just say "thank you". I recently had a photo taken wearing this gorgeous wig and I could not believe how it changed my look ( for the better), and I hated having my photo taken for the last few years, unfortunately I do not know how to forward it to you otherwise I would. So if you are not sure about venturing out to wear a wig, don't worry you will be ever so pleased that you made the move. Thank you Vogue Wigs

this wig is great. slightly large, that's alright since its human hair,braided my own and had my stylist sew it on!!!!!!!!
Bangs Synthetic Hairpiece by Jessica Simpson hairdo
Its super...Color matches perfect....people don't know its not my own hair...I just had it trimmed to match my hair...Makes me look younger hahaha
Bedhead Wig Synthetic by Forever Young
I ordered the Bedhead style wig by Forever Young in the color HL4-350. The color is great, although I wasn't expecting the red/copper streaks to be as chunky. That said, they aren't that obvious when wearing the wig. I love this wig though and am definitely considering ordering it again in other colors. The bangs are just right, I didn't have to alter the wig at all. I ordered the wig to wear at work due to my companies policy on hair colors.The wig has done a great job with nearly daily wear. So far no one knows I've been wearing a wig! My natural hair rests on my shoulders and it easily fits under the wig. My coworkers and mom think I've gotten extensions! The hair, although synthetic, feels and looks real. It was a little shiny right out of the box, but a small application of baby powder took care of that. I would highly recommend this wig or any wigs by Forever Young :]
Hair U Wear Brush
a wig brush reduces the wear and tear of your wig versus using a regular hair brush, this one is the best value for the money

I have noticed my hands becoming drier and drier with every winter season. Using regular lotion once helped, but it has not been doing the trick at al this winter season. Recently, the skin on the sides of my index fingers started growing thick, dry and cracked and I became embarrassed to touch anyone or let them see my hands. Within two nights of using this treatment, my hands have been transformed. I had already been using Burt's Bees lemon butter cuticle treatment for some time so my nails are beautiful, strong and bright. But using the cuticle treatment, slathering on the banana creme lotion, and slipping on those cute cotton gloves at night has done wonders for the skin on my hands, and my cuticles are softer and more moisturized than ever. There's no dry or cracked skin anywhere; in fact, they're soft as ever. And using the banana creme lotion during the day keeps my hands protected and soft. I am no longer afraid to touch people. I'm going to reach out and touch my boyfriend with my new hands later :)

The products are good and as always Burt's Bee's products are all natural. The gloves that come with this are not the cute white ones with the bee print that are in the picture but are plain pale yellow gloves. Was dissappointed since I bought two sets.

first below-70 day and my fingertips dry up and crack - add some housework and they are painfully damaged - this kit is the solution but you must use every day and wear gloves at least a little while every night.

I used it for 3 days and found my hands become so soft! the Almond smells so natural. Even in Summer night, it won't be too oily or sticky. I will buy it again!
Made my hands happy
By WeirdJess

This product is great for the hands. I'm someone who is constantly working with my hands and washing them a million times a day. So they are always dry and my cuticals are always damaged. This kit does wonders for me.
Great kit for hands
By Happy Hands
from Silverdale WA
The cotton gloves are great for keeping the moisture on the hands. I use them periodically overnight when my hands are really dry, to the point of cracking. A couple nights with the gloves really helps. This is actually a replacement pair because I wore out the original gloves from the first kit I bought.

not as advertised
By BLAH
from SD, CA
not as pictured/advertised but at least there is a note saying that now. the gloves are not as pictured (not cute with bees) and they have a strange smell. i also did not receive a gift with purchase with this item as advertised.
Service and delivery comments:
i did not get a gift with purchase. called customer service and they said the free samples are my gift which is just a brush off i think.

I bought this kit specifically for the gloves with the little bees on them. Althogh the picture shows the gloves with bees, and the package the gloves came in shows them with bees, the gloves in the package are just plain yellow gloves. This was going to be a gift but now I guess I will just keep it for myself. I won;t retrun the item but am very disappoitned it was not as represented.
Really like this product

I gave this as a gift to my hostess where I was staying on vacation. She loved it and said she was glad it was a 'personal' gift, rather than one she would have to share with her husband (ie, wine, cheese basket, etc.).

National Enquirer Blind Item
WHAT super-famous African-American movie star stunned his co-stars when he was overheard ranting and raving about white people? The angry actor snapped: "I only deal with white people because I have to work with them."
WHAT super-famous African-American movie star stunned his co-stars when he was overheard ranting and raving about white people? The angry actor snapped: "I only deal with white people because I have to work with them."
Posted by ent lawyer at 10:40 AM
Labels: National Enquirer
last year National Enquirer had the same blind item with a white actor
Denzel was the first to come to mind. He's the biggest name black actor, super-star.
Since there aren't that many super famous african-american movie stars to begin with, lets narrow it down: either Will Smith or Eddie Murphy. I'll go with Eddie Murphy.
I thought it was Jamie Foxx - ? Or am I thinking of the "reverse" blind?
Jamie Foxx springs to mind
Jamie Foxx?
Denzel is supposed to be a huge asshole, so I'll go with him for this one.
I'd have to go with Denzel. While I love the man, and think he is all kinds of yumy, there is a certain air that would lend itself to the belief that he could utter these words.
Doesn't he refuse to do love scenes with white women?
Denzel is friend with Julia Roberts,no?
i say Eddie Murphy because Murphy directed movies with only black peoples
Samuel Jackson?
This is Denzel because Jamie, Samuel and Eddie both have "dated" white women
Eddie Murphy and Jamie Foxx are definitely the two that come to mind.
This is a terrible blind...they should give a more specific hint than 'super famous movie star' - now everyone is prone to call out every black actor as being racist.
@ Beth. Didn't Denzel do a love scene with Jennifer Beals in that movie Devil in a Blue Dress?
Long time lurker but have never posted! I remember something posted on CDAN maybe two years ago where Denzel's co-star Bronson Pinchot in the movie Courage Under Fire described Denzel as being the biggest asshole on set. Anybody else remember that post?
Morgan Freeman
She is biracial though.
Eddie Murphy came to mind before I even clicked on the comments.
He refused to kiss Julia Roberts in that John Grisham movie.
Jennifer Beals is indeed biracial.
@Jonel: Morgan Freeman uses Christian Bale as pillow (it was my Twitter avatar before,now i have Dujardin using Clooney as pillow)
@***D** I don't know about that post but I hear Bronson Pinchot is a big asshole. Also is a huge jerk towards some of his female co-stars.
I didn't think of that about Jennifer before I commented. Yes I remember he didn't want the kiss scene with Julia Roberts. I thought he was a relatively nice guy though.
@Kari That sucks to hear, always liked him as Balky in Perfect Strangers, and of course the memorable Serge in Beverly Hill Cop, lol
Please, please, please not Samuel L Jackson. I adore him but if this were him, I could not watch him anymore...except in Pulp Fiction because that will remain my fav movie till the day I die :)
@**D** So did I. He was very good in those roles.
I would be so upset if the is Morgan Freeman. Love that man.
Sad but not surprising, they say Oprah's not a fan either she just hides it.
Samuel L. Jackson! Good for himmmmmm, just kidding!
Agreed...if it's Morgan Freeman, I will be disappointed too. Unless it's Denzel Washington.
ha ha, I read @Frenchgirl's post too quickly, thought it said "with only black penises".
Sounds like Samuel or Eddie
Oprah is not a racist.
Before everyone jumps on "he is a racist bandwagon", people have to realize this. Hollywood and America are notoriously racist so this comment does not surprise me. I'm pretty sure a lot of ETHNIC actors and actresses feel this way in Hollywood. In fact I know they do particularly the Asian-American & Latino actors.
Is it right? No! However, dealing with racism day in day out be it overt or undercover still hurts. So please keep that into perspective. No amount of money or fame will erase that.
Sounds like Denzel to me. Jennifer Beales is half-black.
It's not Eddie Murphy because he has a lot of white friends, Joe Pesicpo (sp), and Steve Martin.
Wesley Snipes!
Wesley Snipes was famous in 1995. He is not famous in 2012.
It does sound like Samuel L. Jackson or Denzel.
Denzel did a sex scene with Milla Jovovitch in He Got Game. I think this is Jamie Foxx. He told a story about growing up in Texas. When he was a kid he was hired to play piano at some wealthy white folks house. He brought a friend with him but the white ppl wouldn't let the friend come in bcuz they had a rule of "only one black person being allowed in their house at a time." Sooooo this is probably Jamie
Samuel L Jackson is pretty good friends with Owen Wilson, I think? I recall him being very snippy (rightfully so) when he was grilled by the press when visiting him in the hospital.
This is Denzel without a shadow of a doubt.
This has GOT to be Denzel. He's a judgemental, shit talking prick.
Yup pretty much Denzel. I don't blame him either some white people think racism is funny.
Denzel Washington spoke about how several Hollywood execs offered him a racially disparaging role during his first years as a professional actor. Washington also spoke about how Sidney Poitier provided insight on how not to become pigeonholed as a black American stereotype.
"I got a part in a movie in 1986," Washington said. "I call it 'The N***a They Couldn't Kill.' He raped a white woman, they tried to electrocute him, and they tried to hang him. There were some Jewish people in the audition, and they said it would be funny if they tried to hang [my character], but they couldn't. I said, 'Like you bring some Jewish people in a room. They think it's a shower, but it's gas.' I said, 'Yeah, that's not funny, right?' To me, it wasn't funny to put a rope around my neck either. So, I called Sidney Poitier and told him that they offered me $600,000 to play in this movie. He said, 'I'm not going to tell you what to do. But the first three or four films in this business will dictate how you are perceived.' So, I turned that role down. Six months later, I got a call to do Cry Freedom and got an Oscar nomination. My career could've gone an entirely different way."
This is the video where he says what I just copied. It puts it in another perspective.
Samuel L. Jackson doesn't hate white people. I've heard Jamie Foxx is racist, but I too think this is meant to be Denzel.
Top Stylist, that story is bullshit. Jamie Foxx LOVES to spin tales about how awful Texas is, but he is a liar. He's been quoted as saying that people in his hometown (which is near Dallas) "don't know that airplanes fly over the ocean." He thinks it helps his rep to act as if he had to overcome adversity, but he didn't. He was raised in a middle-class Baptist home by his grandparents, was a Boy Scout, performed in his church choir, and was a successful high school quarterback -- which in Texas guarantees you popularity. He got a scholarship to college, too. So don't believe everything he says. In fact, don't believe anything he says. He's full of shit.
I heard somewhere that Mr. Poitier supposedly loathes white people.
Re that Jamie Foxx anecdote, I wouldn't want any employee or hired worker, regardless of their color, bringing a friend to work at my house. What was he thinking?
Top Stylist, I forgot about that. I wonder if Denzel makes exceptions for Spike Lee.
Anyway, I still think this is Denzel.
All the more reason that this could be him. Why make up a story disparaging an entire race if you like them? The sad thing is out of the entire Hollywood we only have like five black actors to choose from. We can't really blame Hollywood tho. They give us what we want to see.
He was a kid. And they didn't say he couldn't come in because it was unprofessional. It was because his friend would put their black people allowance over capacity. How do you defend this?!! If the story is true.
Samuel Racist Jackson
I know that Denzel likes white people he just got done last week meeting with the injured troops at Brook Army Medical Center. He spent the whole day there with the troops NO MEDIA. He had his family with and then he toured the Fisher Homes where the Families stay and he whipped out his checkbook asked how much one cost, wrote a check for the full amount. I have sources in the military. 4 Service members on active duty at this time.
I've never heard that Poitier hates white people, but really can you blame him? First black star BEFORE the civil rights movement. He also transcended the color barrier by playing just men, not black or white. I'm sure he went through lots of shit, major stories always not about him per se but about his color.
I still think this is Denzel, who also opened the way to blacks becoming Hollywood stars.
And take a look around the present day, so many whites still hate blacks. It's pathetic.
Forgot to add he posed with the injured so family could take pictures and he hugged and kissed a lot of Moms, girlfriends, wifes, and children. As did his wife and family. There are White, Latino, Black, and Mixed troops injured at Brook Army Medical Center. If you don't like white people you don't hug and kiss a lot of them.
Just to throw out another name: what about Tyler Perry?
Isn't KK in his current movie-- which might explain WHY he would feel that way (kidding, sort of)
old ;ady, you got me, I suppose you might hug and kiss a bunch of white people that you hate and maybe even whip out the checkbook if for a reason, but if it was on the quiet and his family were doin' the huggin and kissin too, well that just doesn't happen in a racist family. He seems like a strong man and would have a strong influence on them. You can't just switch that kind of thing off. I hope your telling the truth coz I've always admired him.
Samuel Jackson asked Ricky Gervais to be on Extras and they had a little clip on the behind the scenes. He was friendly and professional. Ricky said he Samuel only needed one take. He didn't come off as racist, I don't find many racists who go out of there way to work with the race they hate.
What I meant was, I am sure there are plenty of racists in Hwood who work with everyone because they want to work. I just don't think you admire them and seek them out.
Denzel, Jaime Foxx or Eddie Murphy. Or, should I say, Denzel, Jaime Foxx AND Eddie Murphy. Doesn't matter - coulda come out of any of their mouths to no surprise.
I don't who this is but I would never say that a black person working in Hwood who doesn't like dealing with white people outside of works is an asshole. And people calling him an asshole for saying this is one of the chief reasons. Racism against black people is still a reality and it can greatly affect a person's mental health. Not wanting to be around the biggest perpetrators of racism does not make you an asshole. Although saying so out loud might cost you.
I dont believe this is Denzel. Just bc hes arrogant and the biggest black movie star people can think of doesnt make him a racist. Now I could see Samuel L Jackson sayin somethin like this. and just bc men have "dated" white women doesnt automatically give them a pass. I think itd def be someone who worked in Hollywood before it became as acceptable to be a black movie star.
Sidney Poitier's wife is white. Doesn't mean he still can't be racist...but I kind of doubt he is.
I seldom comment on this type of post, but what Jasmine said.
When Sidney Poitier "made it" he was married to a black woman and was famous for saying he could never be with a white woman...and then of course he fell in love with one and is still married to her. So things happen it's just life.
My mom says that when my gran saw Guess Who's Coming To Dinner in the 60's her reaction was "What woman could resist Sidney Poitier ?" I say how true...a class act all the way.
Jasmine, he may not be an asshole (doubtful), but he is a bigot. Hating an entire race -- black, white, brown, whatever -- is bigotry, no matter who is doing it. This guy saying "I only deal with white people because I have to work with them" is racist.
Sidney Poitier must not hate white people too much, his beloved wife of many years is white. I had the pleasure of meeting him one day when I was walking my dogs. His wife and daughters were loving them first and as I was about twalking away - he appeared and told me how much he loved dogs and asked if his "beautiful wife and daughters had seen them." He was the most engaging man. I was on cloud nine the rest of the day!!!
Charles Barkley made a comment years ago about not liking white people, but his wife is white and quite a few of his friends are. I can see anyone making a comment that they regret, or is taken out of context due to their choice of words.
I can see any actor making a blanket statement about a race when that is not really what they meant to say - such as white people really get on my nerves and they meant to say was - ignorant white trash who ask stupid questions...
Yes, I understand that some people are racist, but I think whoever said this - if it is real - was taken out of context.
National Enquirer blind items are just wayy too obvious or stupid usually...
co-sign Jasmine and Snowstorms
Oh I never meant that Poitier was the subject of this blind, just that he's someone who would have cause to be disgusted. I agree - what a lovely man!
Also thanks to everyone that this might/probably is out of context...it is NE after all.
How about Wesley Snipes? I know he's currently in prison, but I haven't seen his name mentioned.
Um, in all honesty, this could be any number of African American actors, male and female. Still not the majority of the actors but not as shocking as you might think. The same can, of course, be said for white actors and their feelings about several or all minorities. Racism exists everywhere in the world and even in so-called liberal Hollywood.
The Denzel story about the troops is partly true. He did write a check but not big enough to build a Fisher House. The whole story is on Snopes and has been circulating for years.
What DianaofThemyscira said!
First person I thought of is Samuel L. Jackson.
What does Himmmmmm think ??? He knows who it is, I bet !!!! Hmmmmm,, where are you?
Morgan Freeman was the second person that came to mind.
Samuel L. Jackson, before he was a movie star, was involved with the Black Power movement. He signed up after MLK's assassination, and was friends with Stokely Carmichael. I would not be surprised in the least if it was him.
Honestly I'm not surprised it's not ALL of them. Do we really think because they command a lot of money that they don't get hit with snide comments that can come across as or be just blatantly racist? Not to create a tempest in a teapot here but seriously while we all hope and pray racism will end, have not (all) directly experienced it for ourselves and think of ourselves as pretty open to advancement of everyone regardless of race, it just ain't so. I am not condoning it as correct just putting in my two cents here.
Oh yeah, Denzel.
Sorry, but it happened just in the last 2 weeks and the check was for the full amount. When you have 4 Service Men & Women on Active Duty and Have lost one KIA in Iraq, You have 1000's of friends in the Military who email you their cell phone pictures while the things are happening. So all you Haters out there can believe what ever you want about Denzel and I will believe what my relatives and other friends in the Military have to say with their Cell Phone Pictures.
I lived in an all black foster group home that was also staffed by all black women and run by a black family- for 5 years. It gave me (white as can be) a unique perspective I think. I heard "I hate white people" quite frequently and it was only occassionaly directed at or including me. I became very close with several girls over the years who would explain that they considered me the only nice or only pretty white girl they ever knew. I wasn't offended from that point on as I came to understand that the blanket statement is mostly an exaggeration based in the us vs them mentality and defensiveness that black culture has been backed into. These statements are made by people who can and do have sincere relationships with white people, admire people who happen to be white and yes, even date & marry white people. It's not as simple as the statement often made in frustration- it's a complicated expression that cannot just be explained away as racism. Doesn't make it right, or even true- its the understanding you might be missing while you're getting all offended.
This is a terrible blind because it's nothing wrong with it! That's that mans preference and he is so entitled to it, especially given the history of race relations in this country.
This blind and the disparaging comments about these actors us ridiculous! So what he said that, we're in America jack! Given the history of race relations in this country (with whomever the subject if this blind is being a member of the ippressed race) coupled with the fact that that very statement was/has been uttered aloud through words and actions by whites in this business, what's the big deal? Not noteworthy!
Msgirl, I agree w/you. And the weird thing is, I met him in ATL - so all of that was buzzing in my head...Of any Oscar winner to meet and any place?!? I will never get that day out of my head...
Laurence Fishbourne?
He came here to Australia a few years ago and said this country was racist against him because many people were looking at him.
They were probably looking at him because he is a film star.
can't be Sam, why would he work with Tarantino so much and freely use the n word.
I think this vice sucks. It could be anybody. Hell, at this point I'd even say Terrence Howard. We need to look at the bigger picture-like rappers turned actors who may say this crap. I'm just saying.
Or Will Smith??
Old ;ady: "I know that Denzel likes white people he just got done last week meeting with the injured troops at Brook Army Medical Center. He spent the whole day there with the troops NO MEDIA. He had his family with and then he toured the Fisher Homes where the Families stay and he whipped out his checkbook asked how much one cost, wrote a check for the full amount. I have sources in the military. 4 Service members on active duty at this time."
Check your facts. This actually happened in 2005 not last week and he did not whip out a checkbook. He donated money after the fact and it wasn't as much as we were all led to believe.
James Earl Jones quotes for $100, Alex.
Jaime Foxx. I know someone who did a location shoot with him a few years ago. Only the black crew members were invited to his nightly parties.
Well, Texshan your comment is really only proof that what I posted earlier is correct. It might be racist in the strictest since of the term, but it does not make him an asshole to acknowledge the BS he may have to go through as a black person.
The attempt to equate all forms of prejudice is exactly why it can be tiresome. I understand you do so only out of ignorance and a need to believe that we're all the same in this mess, but it's not true. It affects different groups in different ways, and I have no problem acknowledging that for some groups it is more painful than for others. You can say it's all the same once you can prove historically that all people in this country had/have the same relationship to institutional racism.
This could be any African-American actor/actress (if the blind is even legit).
Samuel L. Jackson is a good friends with Quentin Tarantino and even defended him when the black community went after Tarantino for his use of the "n" word.
Sidney Poitier and James Earl Jones are both married to white women and have biracial children. hard to believe it's either of them.
If it's Oprah she's a better actress than I thought because she seems to get along with a lot of people - black or white.
Morgan Freeman is a NASCAR fan and goes to a lot of the races. Not exactly a popular sport with African-Americans and not a sport someone who is anti-white would watch/attend.
Don't think it's Jamie Foxx - there is another blind out there rumored to him about an African-American actor who sleeps with white women only. It just doesn't feel like him.
If this blind is legit, the two most obvious "suspects" are Denzel Washington and Eddie Murphy.
Just to play Devil's Advocate, if this were a white actor/actress saying they "hated" black people, everyone would be outraged and demanding they be outed.
I don't think a black actor/actress should be excused for saying the opposite. Racism is racism no matter whom is being racist.
TheDailyLmo, as much as I hate to, I have to admit James did pop into my head.
Isn't he super-famous african american?
I'm sad now..
everyone knows that ignorant white people will fuck your shit up....

Retrogodess, this post made me LOL. I'm an aussie too and if Laurence Fishbourne came over here and caught me looking at him... well Yup!.. I'm havin' some bad thoughts and not one of them is racist LOL. Such a good looking man with such a sexy voice. I always liked Morgan for the same reason too.
I wouldn't be suprised if either said it and I certainly don't think less of them for it.
I don't why I'd be so dissapointed if it were Denzel except to say, I thought of him as so much more smarter than to generalize like that, but anyone's self respect can demand a snap back and we don't always mean what we say, not on level it is percieved as anyway.
Slightly off track here, but re: Denzel Washington & The Fisher House thing. It happened a few years ago, not just last week. He donated a good chunk of money, but not enough to build a house. I live in San Antonio & have a lot of military family members, so I would've heard something about this if he was in town last week. OKAY, now back to the speculating! :)
Denzel ftw!
I'd say it's Chris Rock.
Jasmine, save your sanctimonious bullshit for someone who cares. Racism is racism. It doesn't matter who is committing it, it's always wrong. I'm not going to give a black person a "pass" on being a racist any more than I would a white person.
And, since Enty wrote that this guy is a "super-famous movie star," I'm also not going to lose any sleep tonight crying over the many hardships and trials this douche has bravely endured at the hands of the evil honky. Something tells me that this guy is doing just fine, in spite of The Man(TM), always trying to keep him down.
Hey Texshan, meow! I cant help but wonder what is the color of your skin. Has anyone ever personally hated on you, even someone you've never met before because of your skin or your religion? How about your sex, or how you have sex or who you have it with. (Perhaps you are perfect in everyway).
Did you ever win 'em over by shrilling about what's right or wrong. What do you really know about any ism and how are you qualified to define it?
slow clap @oopsitsme!
Hollywood is racist so whoever said it is just giving back what they get. The industry only let's a few African American actors into the industry at a time with quality roles, everything else is to play maids, drug dealers, crack heads, or something else beneath him. Tyler Perry has created a opportunities as of late for AA actors, but outside of that you usually have one black side quick in movies.
Will Smith and Denzel thank God don't have to do that, and Eddy had to resort to kiddy movies to stay relevant. Jamie Fox could be him..., but I can see ANY AA actor thinking it, but not saying it out loud. doesn't mean that its right but is it what it is.....
Biggest wellknown black actor is Denzel Washington,so I'm guessing its him. I dont really care what he likes or not. Suck it up buddy!!!
chris rock
I agree with Jasmine. My sister says she hates white people all the time. Does she actually hate white people? No. Our mom is white...as is her boyfriend. But, as a 1/2 Latina with brown skin, she has been the victim of A LOT of racism (technically ethnicism), almost all of which has been from white people. I can see how someone who has been the victim of racism would say something of the sort out of frustration. I could also see how one could develop a distrust, even a dislike, of an entire group of people. I wouldn't necissarily call it racist to avoid the people that have hurt you the most. It is a response to a repeated stimulus.
I'm not qualified to define any ism any more than Jasmine is, and I am far from perfect, to answer your questions.
Yes, I have dealt with prejudice before. It's not fun. But that doesn't give me the right to say that I hate everyone in a certain group because of it. People should be judged individually on their own merits.
I can't believe I am actually getting crap from you people because I dared to say that racism is always wrong!
Not Morgan. He lives outside the small small town in Mississippi my uncle lives in and all the people say nothing but good about him. My uncle has met/seen him multiple times, and also has met Clint Eastwood and Brad Pitt through him. I think Morgan likes to take people to the country club my uncle goes to, but don't qoute me on that. I'd have to ask him.
Totally Denzel.
"While filming the 1995 film Virtuosity, Washington refused to kiss his white female co-star, Kelly Lynch, during a romantic scene between their characters. During an interview, Lynch stated that while she wanted to, "Denzel felt very strongly about it. I felt there is no problem with interracial romance. But Denzel felt strongly that the white males, who were the target audience of this movie, would not want to see him kiss a white woman." Lynch further stated, "That's a shame. I feel badly about it. I keep thinking that the world's changed, but it hasn't changed quick enough."[8] A similar situation also occurred during the filming of The Pelican Brief when Julia Roberts expressed in an interview her desire to have her character in the film engaged in a romantic relationship with Washington's character."
might I add: Angelina Jolie and Denzel
IDK, Barack Obozo?
"But that doesn't give me the right to say that I hate everyone in a certain group because of it. People should be judged individually on their own merits".
We do agree on that, and I don't actually want to give you crap, It's just given the circumstances, I'm not so sure it's so black & white .... no pun intended... don't you find the movie biz is racist?

Possibly MacNeice's least known book, and about his last. Fascinating at times, at other times the usual kind of stuff you get in an introductory book on astrology. Ler resenha completa
Born in Belfast and raised in Carrickfergus, MacNeice was the son of an Anglican clergyman who became a bishop. His education in English schools and Oxford University made him ill at ease with his Puritan upbringing, but it never caused him to lose his sense of northern Irish roots. At Oxford, MacNeice became friends with Stephen Spender and later, W. H. Auden, with whom he collaborated on "Letters from Iceland" (1937). After graduating with a double first, MacNeice accepted a lectureship in the classics at Birmingham University and, after the traumatic elopement of his first wife, at Bedford College of the University of London. He joined the BBC as scriptwriter and producer in 1941 and remained with it for the remainder of his career. He also did an admired translation of Aeschylus's "Agamemnon" and the well-known book "The Poetry of W. B. Yeats" (1941). MacNeice defended his own poetry and that of Auden, Spender, and C. Day Lewis in his book "Modern Poetry" (1938). There he called for an "impure poetry" that would react against the giants of the previous generation by embracing the partisanship that he missed in W. B. Yeats and involvement with life that he found lacking in T. S. Eliot, both of whom had otherwise influenced him. While engaged with personal and political issues of the 1930's, MacNeice maintained a more skeptical stance than many of his contemporaries. His best verse---such as "Valediction" or "Bagpipe Music"---brings wit and strong rhythms to bear on contemporary life and often harks back to scenes of his youth. After joining the BBC, he also wrote more than 150 scripts, of which a dozen radio dramas have been published. An autobiography, "The Strings Are False," was published posthumously in 1966. During his lifetime, MacNeice was overshadowed by Auden, but in recent years, reevaluation of his work has regarded him as a major literary figure.

I have to admit that I do not see the attraction that some men find in all the bling that is worn by the "dressing to have my photo taken at Pitti Uomo" set these days. I saw one clothing writer comment recently that he was finally convinced that he was wearing too many bracelets so he reduced those to two and began wearing more rings to compensate.
Personally, I think the Prince of Wales has it about right when he is out of uniform during the day. A signet or wedding ring, cufflinks, an optional wristwatch and gold blazer buttons once in a while. I also think it acceptable to add a gold pin worn in the collar or through a keeperless knit tie but that and a dress set for black tie is all the jewelry that comes to mind. And the latter of course is beyond the scope of this conversation.
The most basic bling does not need to be particularly costly. A simple pair of gold cufflinks is about the price of a good necktie on eBay or through similar sources (I acquired the Trianon links in the photo from RJ for a great price and given the amount of stuff that he seems to have up for sale at any given time, you may be able to do the same). The cell phone has rendered the watch essentially unnecessary, and wedding rings are either a package deal with the wedding or not (since it is also worn on the left hand, the signet ring should only be seen on men who do not wear a marriage band).
Men who wear button cuffs can dispense with bling altogether, but I wish more of us would wear cufflinks. Those basic gold links are great looking and low maintenance since they do not tarnish. I see no reason why a cufflink man should settle for sterling silver unless it is a second or third set coated with enamel. After all, the money saved on one of those ultrasonic jewelry cleaning machines will make up much of the difference between a pair of sterling links and gold, and in times of need you can always have the gold melted down and recover enough of the value to pay for a good lunch. That is not an option with sterling silver.
And those are my thoughts on bling.

Traffic Advisory: Single lane closures on Dunn Memorial Bridge
Motorists are advised that one lane in each direction will be closed beginning Monday on the Dunn Memorial Bridge between Albany and Rensselaer to remove screening installed to protect falcon nest boxes underneath the span across the Hudson River.
The screening was installed in February 2011 to protect the falcon nest boxes before the start of work on the bridge, which carries Routes 9 and 20 between the two cities. The screening is no longer needed for the remaining work on the bridge, which includes joint repairs and painting the steel beneath the structure.
The falcon nest boxes remained undisturbed during bridge work and will remain in place after the screening is removed.
One lane will be closed, while two other lanes will remain open, in each direction starting on Monday, Jan. 28, at 9 a.m. until Friday afternoon, Feb. 8.
Motorists are reminded that fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. In accordance with the Work Zone Safety Act of 2005, convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual's driver's license.

Periodontal DiseasePeriodontal disease is another term for gum disease. Long-term infection of the gums, bone, and other tissues that surround and support the teeth causes periodontal disease.
Early treatment of gum disease may prevent more severe disease, which is harder to treat. Brushing and flossing regularly help prevent periodontal disease.

Chapel Hill, Durham & Raleigh Area
Fearrington Village
Imagine the elegance of an English country village nestled against a backdrop of fields and foothills. Fearrington Village is not just a picture-perfect community with white pasture fences, but also an unexpectedly scintillating destination consisting of world-class dining, lodging, shopping and an exciting new spa.
A cordial country village and residential community, Fearrington Village lies about eight miles south of Chapel Hill in Pittsboro. On approach, visitors feel as if they have entered a stately family farm, and that's exactly what Fearrington Village once was.
Fearrington Village began its long history as a 640-acre operative dairy farm purchased in 1786 by William Cole. Cole passed the estate from generation to generation for two centuries, until it came into the hands of his great-great grandson, Jesse Fearrington. In 1974, Jesse sold the property to developer R.B. Fitch and his late wife, Jenny, who have since expanded the farm into a country village encompassing 1,400 serene acres.
The landscape is still dominated by the dairy barn and silo. Belted Galloways, a rare and ancient breed of cows characterized by completely black hide with a single white vertical stripe around the midsection, graze the meadows and greet all visitors as the community's unofficial mascots.
As you arrive in the Village Center, you'll see The Fearrington House Inn and adjacent Fearrington House Restaurant, placing you in the middle of this delightful European experience. The two-story Inn is centered on a beautifully landscaped courtyard and fronts the White Garden, a manicured garden in riotous, year-round bloom (white, naturally). The Inn and Restaurant are one of only six southern properties to achieve the distinction of being admitted to the international Relais & Chateaux hospitality association – a collection of the most beautiful hotels and restaurants scattered around the world. Fearrington House is also rated Five Star in both lodging and dining by Forbes (formerly Mobil) Travel Guide.
Each of the 32 rooms and suites at The Fearrington House has a distinct character all its own, but all share a romantic country elegance. Inn rooms are accessed through courtyard gardens and offer serene views of the Village Center.
Rooms mix the 'old' and the 'new' – with antiques and original works of art alongside iPod docking stations, flat screen televisions and complimentary wi-fi. Rooms also include Kingsdown pillowtop featherbeds and plush 300 thread count sateen Egyptian cotton bed linens. Guests regularly comment they receive the best night's sleep ever here! And don't miss port at turndown with handmade chocolate truffles. Fresh flowers, many cut from their own gardens, and a bowl of fresh apples, await.
The 1927 Fearrington family homeplace houses the restaurant; it includes a collection of small rooms, including two glass-enclosed porches. Open to non-guests also, the restaurant serves contemporary American dinner in these candlelit rooms overlooking the garden and grounds.
Inn guests enjoy complimentary a la carte breakfast in the Restaurant overlooking gardens, and afternoon tea served in low chairs in the former homestead's front parlors.
Fearrington is also made up of a collection of unique shops, many housed in original farm buildings. The granary now houses the Fearrington Granary Restaurant, a lively bar and grill fronting the Village Center. The former milking parlor is now Dovecote Home & Garden, which sells gifts, accessories, jewelry, furniture and more. Adjacent to Dovecote is The Belted Goat, a charming deli that serves casual fare, coffee and pastries. An outdoor beer garden called Roost (the former corn crib) awaits, offering local craft beers and live music on the front porch on warm days. Pop in McIntyre's Books and you'll probably arrive in time for an author reading – they host over 150 of them annually. This handsome store has been a beacon for southern authors for over 20 years.
And be sure to stop by the latest addition, The Spa at Fearrington. This two-story day spa sits perched over the Village Center. Enter through a gorgeous spa shop called Haven and present yourself to the receptionist. A full range of manicures, pedicures, facials and massages awaits.
The shops, restaurants and spa of Fearrington Village are surrounded by stunning, meticulous gardens that are maintained by a dedicated full-time staff. Visitors are encouraged to relax and stroll the many gardens, and ask questions or just say hi when encountering a Fearrington gardener. The garden beds here are unusual in that they use the full spectrum of plant materials – bulbs, annuals, perennials, shrubs and mature trees – for a sophisticated, dazzling look that creates artistic, colorful combinations year-round.
If you find yourself wishing for a change of pace – maybe an old-English experience without leaving the country – Fearrington Village invites you to immerse yourself in world-class accommodations, explore distinctive specialty shops and restaurants, or relax in a restorative spa treatment.
And don't forget to pet the friendly, curious Belted Galloways.
