GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The Green Bay city council has approved an $8 million deal with a hotel management firm to sell and renovate the city owned Clarion Hotel.
The vote was 8-4 for American Hospitality Management to take ownership of the riverfront hotel that they have been operating for the past year-and-a-half.
The city purchased the hotel to secure around $1.3 million in property and air rights for the connecting and expanding KI Convention Center.
The deal with AHM was put on hold in June after Edgewater Resources, a Michigan-based firm, came in at the 11th hour wanting to bid on the project that was never open to other developers.
The city council delayed the AHM deal to hear them out.
Edgewater proposed to demolish the Clarion and build a new $33.5 million new 16-story, 4-star hotel on the site. The hotel would include top floor condominiums, a restaurant and bar, rooftop viewing deck, as well as an all day spa.
However, the proposal clashed with the city's long-time plans to keep the Clarion as a mid-tier hotel and potentially jeopardize a $35 million renovation of the historic Hotel Northland.
The Northland would be a 5-star hotel.
Frantz-Hobart CEO Mike Frantz, the developer of the Northland, said Tuesday night saying that no matter what, they would move forward with their plans.
But the city council also had other concerns with Edgewater's timing, financing, and scope of the project, and decided that it wouldn't be the right fit for the downtown.
Edgewater says they would be interested in working on other projects in Green Bay down the road.
Sources say the Clarion would likely become a Hampton.

What does European royalty have to do with elk and wolves in Wyoming? One hundred thousand dollars, to start. Prince Albert II of Monaco is supporting research and celebrating a century old family tradition in Cody this weekend.
Prince Albert the First was the first European royalty to visit the U.S. when he came to hunt wild animals near Yellowstone with Buffalo Bill Cody in 1913.
One hundred years later, his great-great grandson, Prince Albert II came to Cody to help preserve the greater Yellowstone area's diverse wildlife with a scientific grant called the Camp Monaco prize.
Prince Albert told the press, "We're very happy to have this partnership with the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, the Draper Natural History museum and the University of Wyoming's Berry Biological Institute."
The one hundred thousand dollar grant funds the continuing work of Arthur Middleton and Joe Riis, who studied migrating elk in Northwest Wyoming. Middleton found the migrating herds are a defining feature of the Yellowstone ecosystem.
Monaco prizewinner Dr. Arthur Middleton said, "They bind the landscape together. They feed the carnivores, the famous carnivores of the system, but also local communities and landscapes surrounding the system."
Prize jury co-chair Dr. Charles Preston remarked, "The purpose of this sort of a partnership is to stimulate innovative thinking and to stimulate this cross boundary idea."
While in Wyoming the Prince is retracing his great great grandfather's hunting trip on horseback, visiting Buffalo Bill's ranch outside Cody, and attending the Patron's Ball, of course.
Camp Monaco was the 1913 hunting camp near Yellowstone's eastern border. Prince Albert the First is the son of Prince Rainier and American actress Grace Kelly. Albert was educated in the United States.

Reflecting on a storybook game for Twins, TigersPosted on April 15th, 2008 – 11:10 AM
By Joe Christensen
DETROIT — Well, last night brought one of those games that you could pick apart and talk about for a week. I tried boiling it down for the game story, answering as many questions as possible about how the Twins could squander those 5-0 and 9-4 leads in an eventual 11-9 loss.
Hard to believe, the Twins came very close to re-tying that game in the ninth inning. Tigers closer Todd Jones got the first two outs, but Jason Kubel walked, Brendan Harris singled and Nick Punto came to the plate representing the go-ahead run.
Even with Craig Monroe on the bench, Manager Ron Gardenhire stuck with Punto, who had entered as a defensive replacement at third base for Mike Lamb in the eighth. I wrote about Monroe in today's notebook, so I knew how much it would mean to him to get a chance in that spot. But as a switch hitter, Punto could bat lefthanded against the righthanded Jones, and he hit the ball well.
So much had happened by that point, it was easy to overlook what a great play Tigers left fielder Ryan Rayburn made on Punto's deep fly ball. If that ball drops, it's a tie game with both runners hustling with two outs. Rayburn had just replaced Jacque Jones in left field at the top of the inning.
Anyway, what a game. Detroit's comeback will be memorable for me just because of how awful the Tigers looked earlier in the game. Seriously, that dropped popup by Pudge? He's a 13-time Gold Glove Award winner. It would have been the third out in the second inning, but the Twins made him pay with two runs.
I kept thinking how the Tigers have the second highest payroll in baseball at $138 million and looked like "The Worst Team Money Could Buy." I've read Bob Klapisch and John Harper's book about the 1992 Mets, and for 5 1/2 innings, these Tigers looked like suitors to the throne.
As the Tigers kept limping around the bases and fumbling plays, the Twins kept sprinting around the bases. Detroit looked old, fat and slow. The Twins looked young, hungry and fast. Joe Mauer, in particular, looked terrific running from first-to-home on Delmon Young's double in the sixth inning.
Tigers 3B Miguel Cabrera was charged with one error and misplayed two other chances to start 5-4-3 double plays against Carlos Gomez. At one point, I heard one fan bellow at Cabrera, "Go back to Florida!"
Well, the Tigers might be gimpy, but they can certainly hit. After Nick Blackburn got the second out in the sixth inning, 14 of the final 19 Tigers hitters reached base.
By the end, Pudge was at the heart of Detroit's comeback. "It's tough, but I got mad at that play [the dropped pop-up]," he told the Detroit Free Press. "I take a lot of pride in my defense."
From John Lowe's game story in the Free Press, there is also this:
The fans who left missed the first Detroit appearance of the fully animated Miguel Cabrera. As the eighth culminated, he was on the top step of the dugout, cheering. He had a bounce in his step as he went out for the ninth. "He's just a big kid who likes to play baseball," Leyland said. "I told him again today to be himself."
I have a feeling that was the kind of game that will let these Tigers be themselves for a while. I think they got their wakeup call, and the Twins were the unfortunate squad that woke them up.

Some Chesterfield neighbors say they have had enough after a community party leads to gun fire and an intense police chase near Matoaca Middle School.
Sean Wallace is now behind bars and facing a long list of charges including shooting or throwing missiles at occupied vehicles. We should note any object thrown at a vehicle is called a missile.
Police say Wallace got into an argument with a man at a party and it all spilled out into the streets.
"Any party is fine," said Sandie Rowe. "But alcohol and guns don't mix."
Rowe is fed up with neighborhood parties that are becoming infamous in her Chesterfield community. Wallace allegedly shot into a victim's car as he took off down Halloway Avenue. It is the same street Sandie's ailing mother calls home.
"She has been here 30 years and never had a fence," said Sandie. "Because of situations like these parties and all has drive us to get a fence for security."
We got our hands on the arrest report. Wallace now faces five different charges including possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Did we mention the victim was also arrested? Police say he led them on a high speed chase.
"Luckily nobody was seriously injured," said Lt. Randy Horowitz. "Luckily no innocent bystander."
Police note the gunfire and chase all took place near Matoaca Middle School.
"And we need to be cautious," said Sandie. "You can't stop what everybody does, but it goes on more than I care to admit."
Sandie is just happy the suspect was arrested.
"They both have been in a lot of trouble with the law," said Lt. Horowitz. "So our victim is no more innocent than our suspect."
The victim is facing charges of eluding officers. We are told more charges could follow.

Other Hogs assisting Madden for a change
Arkansas guard Rashad Madden dunks against Savannah State Thursday Dec. 12, 2013, at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville.
Anybody who didn't witness the games probably wouldn't believe it, but the Razorbacks almost needed Ky Madden's 13 first-half points in a 72-43 victory over Savannah State on Thursday night as much as they did his team-high 14 points last Saturday afternoon in a 74-68 victory over ACC member Clemson.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The state DNR is delaying public hearings that were set for Tuesday on proposed changes to the state's endangered and threatened species.
Officials were planning a public hearing in Madison for Tuesday, with video hook-ups in Green Bay, Eau Claire, and Milwaukee. But because of an impending snow-storm, two in-person hearings are planned for later.
One is set for Wednesday afternoon at 4 p.m. in Wausau at the Marathon County Public Library, and the other will take place at five p-m next Monday at the DNR building in Madison.
The DNR is considering the removal of 16 birds, plants, and other animals from the endangered and threatened lists – and to add eight others.

The debate over the future of the anchored putting stroke is nearing 72nd-hole drama, with the United States Golf Association prepared to ban the technique.
The PGA Tour, whose members play the game at the highest level, and the PGA of America, golf's most important advocate for players of all abilities, formally oppose a ban.
If the USGA goes ahead, it will be ridiculed for making a decision without solid evidence that long and belly putters anchored to the body are an advantage for the game's top players. And for making illegal something that heightens the enjoyment and prolongs the ability to play the game for many.
If the USGA backs down, an increasingly silent majority will feel let down that it kowtowed to political correctness at the expense of protecting the spirit of the game that clubs are meant to be swung freely.
You could make the case that, in golf, a decision as to how players are allowed to wield a putter has more impact than one involving performance-enhancing drugs.
When many golfers see young, athletic players such as Keegan Bradley and Webb Simpson with the end of their putter jammed into their midsection as they putt, it looks wrong to them. That's not golf, they say.
Then those same golfers pick up a long putter in a pro shop. Most need about 10 seconds to realize they would putt just as well with a sledgehammer and are left to wonder what all the fuss is about.
Lee Trevino once was asked why professionals always use tees on par-3s. He answered, "Because we play for money." Since today's pros play for a lot more than in Trevino's day, it seems if anchoring the putter was such an advantage, everyone would be doing it spirit of the game be damned.
Tom Stine of Golf Datatech, the industry's leading market research company, estimated Tuesday that 6 percent to 10 percent of American players of all abilities use a long or belly putter. That percentage is up significantly since Bradley, Simpson and Ernie Els used them to win major titles in the past two years.
The ensuing controversy, however, has left consumers in a holding pattern, Stine said. In December, the sales of all putters were at an all-time low from the previous month since sales started being tracked in 1997.
"There's clearly a confusion about what's going to be legal or illegal, and it has stifled purchases," Stine said.
If the USGA goes one way and the PGA Tour another, anchored putters could be allowed in some events but not others. That seems to bother a lot of people.
Longtime pro Paul Goydos is on the tour's policy board. He has said more time and input are needed, and that in the meantime the USGA should back away from the issue, especially since the anchored putting stroke has been used for decades.
"I would vote for the status quo," Goydos said. "Not only is the cat out of the bag, it's had kittens."
Dry weather, firm greens
Spring greens aerification started Monday with Sunset Whitney the first area course subjected to the necessary evil. Haggin Oaks, Morgan Creek and Plumas Lake will bite the bullet next week.
Superintendents said that while a dry, cold and windy February prompted them to atypically water their courses over the past two weeks, weather had no bearing on their schedule to punch greens, which are ultra-fast and firm throughout the region.
"Windy and cold just sucks the water out of the ground," said Cherry Island's Kurtis Wolford. "We have other means to maintain greens."
During 20 years working in the Sacramento Valley, Wolford said he's had to water in February before but noted, "I can't recall it being so cold and dry for such an extended period."

How does a top White House official live? We know now about one of them: Steven VanRoekel, U.S. CIO, just bought a home for $6.9 million, designed by a prominent East Coast architect.
The Washington Post reports that the former Microsoft executive's six-bedroom home sits on 1.3 acres and has a pool, a separate outdoor dining room and several gardens. VanRoekel and his wife Carrie made the house purchase May 1. (To be clear, we're not suggesting VanRoekel, who had a lengthy career in Microsoft's upper ranks prior to his government service, bought the home on his government salary.)
Located close to Embassy Row and Rock Creek Park, the home was designed by architect John Russell Pope, whose most famous work in the early 1900s include the National Archives and Records Administration building, the Jefferson Memorial and the West Building of the National Gallery of Art.

Krishna: No such insinuation was intended, and we did note that he is a former Microsoft executive. However, to be sure that no one thinks we are trying to imply anything untoward, I've added another sentence to clarify.
Perhaps Mr. VanRoekel made his millions at Microsoft, and thus can afford the lavish designer home. The caption for the story - "Federal CIO living in style with new designer home", leaves the implication that the Federal Govrnment in some way is paying for this extravagance. But the rest of the story doesn't. In that respect, this is a cheap shot. The Washington Post story doesn't leave any such insinuations.

"It's cheesy, it's over the top, and I love every second of it!"There are shows or products that many people are ashamed to watch/use. That doesn't mean a character won't enjoy it and continue to consume it anyway, regardless of what's going on. Guilty Pleasure may, but does not always, overlap with Closet Geek. "Guilty Pleasure" implies that a person feels guilty for enjoying a show or product that is actually not worthy of their appreciation—they believe that it is low-quality, but for some reason like it anyway. The Closet Geek hides their fanhood for fear of what other people will say, but they may believe that the things they like are legitimately good and worthy of appreciation. (This is a trope; for the novel Guilty Pleasures, see the Anita Blake page.)

Sustainability is founded on bringing full and lasting economic, social and environmental benefits. Our challenge is twofold; to ensure our network and the surrounding environment are fit for present and future generations, and to make sure our activities and practices have as little adverse impact as possible on people and the wider environment.
Our progress towards delivering sustainable development requires cooperation and involvement from all areas of our business and supply chain to be successful. We need to work with partner organisations with an interest in the strategic road network both from the point of view of its operation and its impacts. Importantly we need to ensure that the views of communities neighbouring our network form a part of our decision making processes.
The Highways Agency faces long-term challenges in improving reliability and tackling capacity constraints against a backdrop of increasing construction costs, environmental concerns and growing traffic volumes. Finding the right balance between measures to make better use of the existing network and prioritising network improvements which support economic growth will be a key challenge for us over the coming years.
Road transport has a vital role in supporting economic recovery. The strategic road network carries a third of all vehicle traffic and two thirds of all freight journeys in England. Our network is an integral part of our national way of life facilitating links between communities and to leisure and cultural centres. We understand this doesn't come without cost to the environment or communities adjacent to our network.

Two Years After Gilad Shalit's Release, His Negotiator Looks Back—and Ahead
In his new book, 'The Negotiator,' Long Island-born Gershon Baskin says the prisoner swap that saved the soldier was worth it
On June 25, 2006, militants from Gaza snuck into Israel via an underground tunnel near the Kerem Shalom crossing and abducted a 19-year-old Israeli soldier: Gilad Shalit. In the first days after the abduction, Shalit's captors demanded that all female prisoners and all minors who are being held in Israeli prisons be released in exchange. They then requested the release of a thousand additional prisoners. But Ehud Olmert, who was prime minister, was fundamentally against negotiating with Hamas, and the conversation between the Israelis and the Gazans ended there.
But while the politicians stalled, Shalit's image seared itself into Israel's consciousness. There was the serious teenage Gilad making a point with his hand raised in gesticulation, posted by supporters as their Facebook profile photo. There was the image of the emaciated boy in military garb reading a script to his government from captivity. There was the Gilad Shalit in a checked shirt being grilled by an Egyptian television personality, her questions like lashes at the newly released Gilad, thinner still and white as a sheet.
Over the five years of his captivity, Gilad Shalit became everyone's child. And, in the end, the task of securing Shalit's freedom fell not to military officers or politicians or special envoys, but to an outsider to Israel's close-knit military-political establishment: Gershon Baskin, a peace activist from Long Island who spent 35 years developing relationships with Palestinian leaders. In his new book, The Negotiator: Freeing Gilad Schalit from Hamas, Baskin writes that, before Shalit, he had tried to rescue his wife's cousin, Sasson Nuriel, after he disappeared in the West Bank, in 2005, to no avail. Nuriel was killed, and Baskin describes his guilt. "I had worked with Palestinians for decades, but all of my contacts had done nothing to save Sasson. I swore on his grave that if ever again asked to help save a life, I would do everything humanly possible to accomplish that mission. I would not rest until I'd succeeded."
Today marks the second anniversary of Shalit's return home. His face has now filled out, restoring something of his lost youthfulness. He is studying economics and sustainability, and he has a girlfriend. "I pinch myself every day, that I played this role in saving a human life," Baskin said by phone from Jerusalem earlier this week. "It's so amazing that it happened."
The story of Baskin's pivotal role in securing the young man's life is a reminder that, for all the high-level negotiations and delicate offers of prisoner swaps or land compromises that characterize politics between the Israelis and the Palestinians, real progress rests on the strength of the personal experiences and commitments of the individuals involved. While Shalit's release was ultimately secured by Israel's release of 1,027 Palestinian prisoners, it was only Baskin's commitment that kept negotiations—and Shalit—alive long enough to reach a resolution.
"Many households left an empty chair at their table for Gilad," Baskin writes in his book. "This became customary over the next five years, not only in Israel but in Jewish homes around the world." But for Baskin, "Gilad Shalit had become part of my family. I was always conscious of him, wondering how he was doing, where he was being held."
Baskin made aliyah 35 years ago with the Interns for Peace program, which sent young people on two-year stints working in Arab villages with the goal of fostering personal relationships between Arabs and Jews. "Israelis were always saying to me, 'You're a stupid American, you don't really know them,' " Baskin said. "I needed to gain credibility. I needed to be able to speak with authority." By the time Gilad Shalit was kidnapped, Baskin knew who to call to reach Ghazi Hamad, Hamas' deputy foreign minister and the man who ultimately brokered the prisoner swap that saved Shalit's life.
It turned out to be harder for Baskin to gain access to decision-makers in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv than in Gaza. "I felt like I was holding a key to a locked door, that so many people were trying to pick, and I was standing here holding the key," Baskin said. Eventually, he reached Olmert through the politician's daughter, Dana, a peace activist. Gilad Shalit's parents, Noam and Aviva, proved themselves to be locked doors. "Noam has called the first two years of Gilad's imprisonment his naive period," Baskin said. "They needed to believe that the government was doing everything they could be doing." Today, the Shalits are, if not friends, then supporters; they appeared at Baskin's book launch in Jerusalem earlier this month and offered kind words for his work on their son's behalf.
But early on, Baskin believes, elements in Olmert's government turned the Shalits against him, ultimately costing their son valuable time. "Whenever I spoke to [Noam] and Aviva," Baskin writes in his book, "I was made to feel that I was intruding, that my information wasn't serious. They always told me my Hamas contacts weren't the decision makers regarding Gilad."
The turning point came in May 2011, when Benjamin Netanyahu—who succeeded Olmert as prime minister after Olmert resigned amid a corruption investigation—put a Mossad veteran named David Meidan in charge of negotiating for Shalit's release. By that time, the Shalit family had been sleeping in a tent in constant vigil outside the prime minister's residence in Jerusalem for two years. The family held a Seder in their encampment. "It was amazing, enormously depressing, to see the family out there with a few of their friends with them to have a Seder on the street in front of the prime minister's house," Baskin said. "It has been reported from more than one source that Sara Netanyahu told Bibi that it was time to bring him home."

Photography > Digital Cameras > Sony > Sony SLR
The SLT-A37 Alpha 37 Digital Camera + 18-135mm Zoom Lens from Sony starts you off right with an all-purpose zoom lens and a very budget-friendly camera body, once you realize how much camera you actually get for the price. This means you can be up and running, photographing to your heart's content, in nearly any setting right away. Whether you're a beginner with a point-and-shoot camera looking to upgrade, a parent looking to capture life's precious moments, or an enthusiast who always has a camera within reach, the A37 has been created for any customer who wants to take their photography and creativity to the next level.
Thanks to its lightweight design, the A37 is easier to carry around than traditional DSLR's, but unlike your standard point-and-shoot you still have a plethora of features, functions, and lenses at your disposal for full custom control of your image making. Sitting very comfortably in this goldilocks zone, the A37 boasts a 16.1Mp Exmor HD APS CMOS sensor, in-camera image stabilization, and Sony's proprietary Translucent Mirror Technology, enabling simultaneous focusing and capturing unlike other DSLRs.
With all of those features, and dozens more, you're sure to capture detailed photographs that can stand up to the rigors of editing, enlarging, and viewing: on your HDTV, computer monitor, digital picture frame, and of course, as prints both big and small. Of course, RAW image capture provides you with even more latitude, providing high-quality files and allowing for exposure and other adjustment options unavailable with images shot in JPEG.
With the Sony A-mount you can put any number of lenses onto the Alpha 37 for getting the shot you want, in addition to the included zoom. Whatever your vision calls for, you can add the right lens for the job. And of course, the SLT-A37 wouldn't be a true modern-day digital camera if it didn't also record HD video. The high speed AF Full HD Movie mode allows you to record 1080 / 60i / 24p movies. With features like Live View, the tilt / swivel 3.0" LCD screen, and creative controls, you can make stunning videos along with spectacular photos. Additionally, the eye-level finder for HD movies helps you with framing and focus.
No matter which mode you're shooting in: video or still, all your files can be stored on a variety of optional memory cards. The camera's media card slot allows for insertion of Sony's own Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory PRO-HG Duo, and SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards. Other useful features of the camera include a built-in auto pop-up flash, which is great for grabbing low-light snapshots, and Handheld Twilight and Multi-frame NR modes which both allow for quality low-light images without the flash, by combining the data from 6 consecutive shots into one. You can also shoot 3D images that look great on 3D televisions as JPEG or MPO files. These features, and numerous others, all contribute to this truly versatile and cost-effective DSLR, the SLT-A37.

Codes & Regulations
LouisvilleKY.gov Links
Improper storage of inoperable vehicles can be a serious problem for a neighborhood. The vehicles are unsightly, clutter the neighborhood, provide harborage for rodents and are an attractive nuisance for children. This regulation addresses two problems associated with vehicle storage and repair:
Your vehicle is parked/stored illegally if there is:
It is the responsibility of the registered owner of the vehicle, the owner of the property, or the person in possession of the property where the motor vehicle is located to correct the situation or remove the vehicle.
Vehicles may not be parked in the required front or side yards except on a hard-durable surface known as a driveway. This driveway may only be a maximum width of 20 feet.
Failure to comply with a notice to correct the situation or remove the improperly parked/stored motor vehicle will result in the impoundment and disposal of the vehicle and may also result in criminal fines or imprisonment.

Scramble for legal jobs as graduates spurn banking
Readers' comments (6)
Oh great
Just what the legal profession needs. More wannabe bankers.
Not so great
It means ethnic minorities lawyers 2B will be squeezed further down the pecking order.
...ethnic minority lawyers will be forced to get jobs on their own individual merits. Tough break!
Ethnic debate
How will ethnic minority lawyers get pushed out? If they are any good then they won't. Sounds like you have an inferiority complex.
Prospect of Ethnics
it makes sence to assume that ethnic minorities will have to get jobs on their own individual merit assumming also that they get real equal opportunities.
The writer who stated ''.... it sounds like you have inferiority commplex'' missed the point completely - you missed the opportunity to state your confidence in the system instead of being judgmental and trivalising the debate in the process
'Being judgemental'
If by 'being judgmental' you mean making a judgement (the end result of thinking, surely?) then yes, that's just what I was being.
My judgement is that, if not at smaller practices, at large firms decent ethnic minority lawyers are not only not discriminated against but are actually favoured so that firms can have some BME numbers on their books to show the PC police next time they come knocking. Which is always soon.

A reader wants some advice about his new girlfriend. He seems a bit worried that she has virtually no friends who are women. In the beginning, he didn't even notice the lack of girls she hung out with. Then he slowly realized that all her friends were guys. Why does too many guy friends have to be a red flag, though?
I actually think that her having guy friends can benefit him. When my guy friends give me perspective about what men think and the reason they do what they do, I am less inclined to freak out over silly stuff. They teach me a lot about the male perspective!
Ladies, would it bother you if the guy you were dating had a lot of women friends?

I would not mind if a guy had some women who were friends as long as he knew who he was with, friends can wait when you are with me doesn't matter if they are female or male.
When i was younger (that was just yesterday it seems) i had more male friends than girl friends –girls just don't like me, i learned a lot from the guys back then but as time goes by and they got married or whatever you drift apart, i still have 2 close male friends but they do not live here –thats ok we don't talk all the time like we used to–i understand that their wives are more important and should be!

good morning. Yes it would bother me if my guy had a lot of women friends. It has nothing to do with insecurities. I am a woman and I know how women can get. It would be like I am dating them too and I am sure they would try to interfere with my relationship. People throw around the word "insecure" so much and they are the main ones who are not 100%. The do's and do not's of a relationship matter and they are different from individual to individual

I have more male friends than woman friends, I'm not sure how that even came to be. Growing up I just liked being around my male cousins rather than my female cousins, one reason was because they were always messy. Always starting something. Talking about ppl behind their backs. I'm betting that's where it started. Fast forward into adult life, my ex used to gripe all the darn time about my bestie D. He never liked when we hung out, he always had a problem or making a problem. Always suspected there was more than us being friends. In the end I lost contact with the bestie and the ex is curb food. These days my male friends are practially virtual and married. My SO don't have any female friends but he does have female colleagues that he travel with for conferences. I'm TRYING not to be cool with it.
Ladies, would it bother you if the guy you were dating had a lot of women friends? a lot as in how many? if it's 3 or more, I would hava a problem only bc some women can be so messy.

Morning everyone!
I used to have a lot of male friends, but as time has gone on, we have drifted apart. I still have a couple of close male friends, who I hope to always keep in my life. I think I would be ok with my SO having female friends as long as there is respect. The Ex had a couple of female friends who were extremely disrespectful towards me and our relationship. He wouldn't put them in their place. I will not stand for that again. It's not even about trust with the SO…it's the women!

9:14 am
I've never understood folks that says something is wrong with a woman for having more guy friends than women friends or no women friends….that's her and who she can relate to. Let me tell you, women are the ones that you run with, break bread with and gossip about you. And the cattiness?? Naw, I can't deal with that. I find men to be more loyal and less pretentious and more on the up and up. So yeah, I prefer to cop a squat when I need real advice or a shoulder or wanna kick back and take a load off. They won't say in their minds (most won't, some will) "I knew you wasn't all that no way" when you disclose maybe challenges or what not. And all the time it's not about getting relationship advice, like I said, I find men keep it real more often than women. Not all the time, but most times.
Now, what I can say is that I respect my relationship and don't behave in such a way that would raise eyebrows. The say way I know too many ahem (women) friends may make me feel some kinda way, then I try to mindful of the same. I'm not gonna hang out so much so that he asks "what's up with that?" And "feeling some kinda way" about too many women (or male) friends have nothing to do with insecurity. More often than not "stuff" happens looooong before it comes to the light, and usually with folks you thought you could trust. And in having male friends, I can cop a squat, hang out, shop, whatevs cause I already know it's ain't nothing popping off. I can sit across the table and laugh it up….I've already decided ain't gon be nothing.

Oh, and in defense of today's post, there is that one or two that "thinks" there's more going on than what's on the table or that they're smooth enough to use "friendship" as a means for "getting in." You know the ones….they trydda hand you a hook to see if you'll bite. NAW, AIN'T HAPPENING!!! lolol. That kind usually lose patience with just breaking bread…lololol
You nor your SO ain't crazy. Sometimes there's a cause to be concerned.
September 17th, 2013
9:35 am
"Why does too many guy friends have to be a red flag, though?" – It's a red flag because the new bf is wondering if she's been intimate with any of them. He's watching how chummy the guys are, he's watching body language, that lingering smile, that touch that comes across as being more than just friends. He's basically uncomfortable and/or insecure with all that he's wondering.
I've always had more male friends than female friends, less cattiness.

I'm not sure how I would feel about it to be honest. It really just depends on the guy and how he mentions and deals with his friend-girls. As far as a woman having a lot of guy friends, it also just depends. To me, it makes perfect sense that a girl would have more guy friends than girlfriends. Going through the motions of having a girlfriend can be…challenging.

Good morning!!!
What do men want??? It seems like everyone is beating up on women today!! Okay, so you have a problem if she's got too many guy friends. For some men, even ONE is too many! Then you have an issue if she's too tight with her girlfriends. You are afraid she'll share too much of y'alls business and hate on your relationship if they are not in one themselves. Make up your mind!!! LOL!!!
It's not even about trust with the SO…it's the women!
Bluz – Really???? Let me tell you and all that think this way – the women can't do anything the men won't freely allow!!! And that goes the same for these wussy dudes whining about she got too many man friends. It's his or her job to CHECK anyone that interferes with their current relationship. And 9 times out of 10, if they had wanted to get with their "friend" they would have already!!
Wise's friend must be young. Usually all these issues with friends resolve over time- folks get busy with life, get married, have babies, etc. Thru all that, either the friends are gay and you have nothing to worry about, or they have moved on themselves. Either way, really should not be a concern.
The "friends" folks are out in the open with are generally not a threat. The chance of one hooking up with a coworker seems more likely to me.

my male friends always kept it real with me esp when it came to who I dated. They were like big brothers, saved me a lot of tears/drama. My bestie D warned me about my ex but I didn't listen to him that time and married that ol bat anyway. In the end he didn't say I told you so, just hung in there with me thru the whole ordeal and was a shoulder to cry on.

I do not have many male friends. I was married and did not "collect" friends of the opposite sex. The few that I do have are through female friends. As far as it bothering me if a guy had too many female friends, it depends on how many female friends and how "cool" they were. I am okay with some female friends as long as there are boundaries and they respect our relationship and stay in their lane. Above all, he has to respect our relationship.
Hazel/Button- I know! The word "insecure" is overused!

If my guy had a close female friend, I would be jealous, no lie. I would question him about their relationship and I wouldn't be a happy camper in la la land encouraging them to hang out alone. I would be right there smack dab in the middle.

Kimmie- Me as well. My circle of girlfriends are awesome!

Button – Oh yeah, I'm hip to the "we're just friends" game too, I'm not naive about it. It just seems like a lot of trouble to go thru, messing with a friend while maintaining a dating relationship with someone else, to the point one has to be suspicious of anyone they date that has a friend of the opposite sex.

kimmie ~ that is key, choose your friends wisely. Everyone doesn't have the privilege/title of being called a friend. My close friends I've had for decades. My acquaintenances are just that, acquaintenances.

Kimmie – I have wonderful gfs too, I just have more male friends than female friends since that's what the topic is about.
September 17th, 2013
9:59 am
kimmie – Maybe I have a problem trusting the women because I've dealt with some shady females in the past. Granted…if anything happened, it was on him because he was the one in the relationship. During that relationship, a couple of the women were so nice to my face, then talked crap to him behind my back. And…he didn't defend me. Now, I know that this example isn't the best because that was the relationship from hell and he was a piece of isht!

I would be okay with 'a lot ' of male friends on her part(my Queen) if the male friends are gay!
Just a male friend? Proly an aquantaince maybe.
Her male friend should be me!
Too many male or female friends when you are in a relationship are just some drama waiting to happen..so much envy,ego,jealous etc.
I don't believe in a gazum of friends. One or two is fine then a couple of arm length aquantainces.
And a male friend for my wife? non starter or I am going to punch the fool!
Males don't hang around chics just to be friends. They hang around chics to be friendly just in case she slips up!

The age old question: Can women and men just be friends?
September 17th, 2013
10:08 am
Button/Leggs – To be honest I kinda started out that way, well maybe not MORE, but equal amounts of male friends. I got my feelings a little hurt right after college when the truth hit about the dynamics of the male friendships. One guy friend got married a few years after we finished college. I was still living at home with parents. He brought his then fiance' over to meet me. I was always very respectful of his relationships and he mine. After they married, something changed. I called him at work to give him some info he had asked me for. He was very cold and that was the last time we talked! I told my mom about it and she explained the new wife was probably uncomfortable with our friendship, even though we were respectful. Then similiar thing happened years down the road with another friend. I had a few gay ones, but they fell by the wayside. A few guys I dated over the years seemed a little uncomfortable with my male relationships too, though they didn't make a big deal about it and I was, again, always respectful.
It just got to be not worth it for me. I have one guy friend left that is actually a play brother.

Here's a question. Would a woman listen to a piece of advise from a woman or man better? Once I told my ex-friend that she shouldn't mess with a loser. She didn't listen and suffered. But if a guy had told her the same thing, would she have taken that advise?
September 17th, 2013
10:09 am
Ex ~ you're absolutely right. Many men wait in the wings waiting for a slip up, one drink too many, a call at the right time. Men waiting in the wings are funny.
September 17th, 2013
10:11 am
I allow folks in that have my best interest at heart. That's a handful. The rest are at the end of a long handled spoon.
September 17th, 2013
10:11 am
Hazel ~ great question. I think it all depends on the strength of the woman. What is the woman's track record with having a solid relationship? If her record is as flimsy, why listen to her? Don't know what your friend would have done if a man spoke to her, but men know men better than many women.
September 17th, 2013
10:14 am
I agree with Exiled too. I backed up a lot from my male friends after I got married. I did this out of respect for my husband and to be fair. I would not want him to have female friends (esp single ones) so didn't really keep up with my single guy friends. My husband did meet them and knew of them.
September 17th, 2013
10:16 am
I tend to listen to my male friends about relationship stuff because they will tell you like it is while women may sugar coat it and tell you what they think you want to hear. It's been nice getting to know my neighbor (the roomie) and listening to him talk about relationships. I feel like I'm learning something from him on how men think.
September 17th, 2013
10:19 am
Women are fickle. I have a used to be friend that's been relegated to "acquaintance" zone…lol We were cool cool cool. We talked everyday nearly. She'd fly stuff to me she thought I'd like or fit my personality. We talked about EEEEVVVEEERRYYYYTHING. Never once did we not trust one another. Well, she gets into something at work and wanted to go ham on her manager by reporting. I didn't support that and gave her honest feedback. And what did she do??? She snapped and said I wasn't there for her as she'd been for me. Ummmm, if I tell you don't tell in front of that mac truck that's gonna knock the heck out of you, is that not what a friend does??? I was telling her to put her trust in the Lord and let him work it out. She wanted to report her manager, but it was all on "feelings" and heresay and didn't have anything concrete to substantiate. My point being, NOT A SMART MOVE. Well, she had a tizzy and too bad for her, cause I didn't change my stance. We're cool now, but noooowhere near where we were before. We talk every blue moon.
Now, before go start calling themselves "friends", they need to first define and thenunderstand what it mean to be true blue, tried and true. Having folks to say what you wanna hear? Fake! Having folks to agree when you're wrong? Fake Allowing stuff to come outta ya mouth and you don't mean it? Fake!
So now, when I travel to NC, we'll do lunch (she and a few others), but now I see it as catching up with a few acquaintes…and that's all. I'll NEVER go back to that place with her again. The trust has been broken.

before "folks" start calling themselves friends….is what I meant
September 17th, 2013

Hazel – It depends on the person giving the advice. And sometimes, a woman might be more receptive of the SAME advice coming from a guy versus another woman. She might think her girlfriend is hating or jealous while thinking the guy is being completely objective.
That can go so many ways, so again it depends. Is it possible the guy is one of those "waiting in the wings" types who is gonna tell you to break up with dude so he'll have a shot? Is the guy a "dog" who thinks all other men think and act like he does and is misreading the situation?
While I may not have a lot of guy friends, I grew up with 4 brothers. I also had a positive example of a relationship growing up with my parents and other older relatives. I had examples of what NOT to deal with as well off of men.I went thru my ups and downs with men, but I've had positive relationships overall with guys. I'd like to think any advice I give my girlfriends is as good as any they think they may get from a man just because he is male.
September 17th, 2013
10:28 am
I miss having my male coworker, who gave great advice to me. He was in the office next to me and we became friends. He is happily married and treats his wife like a queen. I always told him he needed to hold classes for men to teach them how to treat their women! I can still reach out to him, but it was nice to just walk next door and ask his advice. He was very good about telling me what I was doing wrong too and guiding me.
September 17th, 2013
10:32 am
I don't really see the problem with folks "waiting in the wings". At least, my hubs would not have to worry about that any more than anyone else that's been checking me out. If someone has not spoken up and let you know their interest, that's their problem if they let that ship sail away. Men and women should speak up if there is an interest there, instead of laying back in the cut. Say something, don't sit on the sidelines watching your love interest with someone else. Don't waste your time worrying about the "what if's".
September 17th, 2013
10:51 am
I think this goes back to would you tell your SO if his/her friend hit on you?
Most friends well close friends esp the ones that was there before the SO know things about you that your SO don't even know.
September 17th, 2013
10:54 am
good morning.
I think the reason a lot of men take issue with women having a lot of guy friends is because men tend to think a guy friend has either already hit or is in line to hit. lol.
September 17th, 2013
10:55 am
Here's a question – Would you drop a friend of the opposite sex for your SO?
I made the mistake once of letting go of a friend when I was with Psycho in Seattle because he did not approve. Luckily, that friend took me back when I realized how toxic that relationship was and ended it. Heck…he didn't even want me to hang out with my gay friend!!!
September 17th, 2013
11:00 am
Button – It boils down to the maturity of the two individuals dating. Yeah, the friends that were there on both sides, before you dated, know more. Why would either of you let the past dictate your current relationship?
September 17th, 2013
11:02 am
bluz – I'm not dropping any friend for anyone. my friends are my friends and that's that. if we should fall off it will be because we fell off. not because some third party had issue with us.
men – y'all need to understand the real (LOL) reasons why we have male friends. here's a few:
1. y'all can carry stuff
2. we need y'all to help us move (see number 1)
3. y'all are great blockers when we don't want to be bothered by – wait for it (men!) – lol.
4. y'all work for cheap (usually a home-cooked meal or a few beers)
September 17th, 2013
11:05 am
Bluzgirl – I've never done that. Never even a consideration.
September 17th, 2013
11:07 am
Disco- That is why I need to work on my list of male friends that every woman should have, lol.
September 17th, 2013
11:08 am
Bluz – Like I mentioned earlier, for some even ONE friend of the opposite sex is too many. Your dude had a problem with your gay friend. Some don't even want you to have female friends. That's someone that probably has control issues, as well as other stuff wrong. A lot of abusive types try to isolate their women from not only friends, but family too. They don't want anyone putting "ideas in their heads"!
I know I've been respectful with my friendships, so I would have a major problem with a guy wanting me to drop any friend. I'm not to be controlled, I'm grown and not his child.

Hi Richard! We contacted the person who submitted all of these pictures and he says that if Gov Manning had six sons who served, then this picture must have been before the last one began service. But unfortunately we can't be sure!

The Elkhart County 4-H Fair wrapped up Saturday and organizers say it was a huge success! This year the fair had record attendance. And a record auction that brought in over one million dollars.
They also started a new program called Fair Cares. The goal was to collect 250 thousand pounds of food for Church Community Services. They brought in about 50 thousand but are still happy with those numbers. "We didn't know what to expect but it's been pretty consistent all week and that's always encouraging to see," said Fair Board Treasurer Brent Carrick.
Organizers say they'll probably do the Fair Cares program again next year.
