NeNe Leakes of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" and more recently, "Celebrity Apprentice," will appear on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" today. The show airs weekdays at 4 p.m. on WXIA.
According to a transcript the show sent us, they'll be discussing Leakes' fellow "Apprentice" cast member Star Jones.
They're not exactly best buddies.
"She is bossy, she is manipulative, conniving," Leakes said of Jones. "She is controlling. I think that she knows. Yeah. She looks in the mirror, she better know."
By the way here's a comprehensive "Celebrity Apprentice" recap from our colleague Rodney Ho. If you'd like to see RoHo talking about the show click here for his video.
Jones has been vocal about Leakes as well, telling Daytime Confidential, "We're not on the same level. Let's make that clear. We're on the same show."
In case that was unclear she added, "Cream rises to the top and water seeks its own level."
Jones also noted, "They cast the show based on what they thought would generate good ratings. This was not a show about friendship."
(And if everyone got along, who would watch, right?)
Apparently their relationship was strained from the beginning.
"When I walked into the situation, I tried to walk in with no preconceived notions," Leakes told DeGeneres. "I was just thinking, 'Okay, I'm going to do the show. I'm going to get to know who Star is.' I think she had preconceived notions of who she thought I was just from watching me on the 'Housewives.' I think she thought I was going to come in and take over. I tried to get to know her. Some people are difficult to get to know. She's not easiest person to get to know. She is a disaster."
Could they work things out?
Uh, maybe.
"I don't think she's easy to get along with," Leakes said. "She's a tough girl. We're kind of okay. I'm trying to feel her out right now."

Sister Girl, Girlfriend, my homegirl, women united strong , independent women together, etc, etc. Must all be a lot of hypocrisy and baloney, ha, ha.

Nene, Star like youself is a real B… The only difference I see is Star is more intellectual than you.
March 23rd, 2011
9:16 am
This is laughable coming from nene (dumb name). Star is quite weird looking, just as you are, so please dont try to pretend that you are anything more than Star, btw Star IS a lawyer with a very intelligeng mind while you, on the other hand, what have you done to contribute to society?
March 23rd, 2011
9:17 am
Why is nene famous? She is one of the least talented people I've ever seen on TV. Her stint on 11Alive was a joke, and I can only imagine that this apprentice and housewife show is terrible.
March 23rd, 2011

This woman has a lot of nerve casting stones at anyone. Speaking of disasters, when is her 15 minutes finally going to be over? I'm from metro Atlanta, and she is an embarrassment.
March 23rd, 2011

The difference is that Star has an IQ and a (very) little bit of class. Nene, please move to Alabama so we can stop having to claim you as our train wreck.

Hush NeNe. Say nothing. You'll appear more intelligent than opening your mouth and "slamming" Star. Both of you have ISSUES. However, she is accomplished. What have you
done, lately????

Do NOT listen to ANYTHING Ne Ne has to say. She is a jealous HATER and is just a NASTY PERSON IN GENERAL. Lisa Rinna is a piece of CRAP too. Who as an OLD WOMAN (Lisa) acts in such a tasteless manner towards another human being on Face Book. Lisa Rinna is UGLY and Ne Ne is the DISASTER. GO STAR JONES! The people watching TV see what is going on and LISA RINNA and NE NE LEAKES ARE LOSERS.

It is so hilarious to hear and read people dis Nene. While her personality leaves a lot to be desired from what can be seen on the RHOA, she obviously is doing her job because she's making the entertainment circuit and making a name for herself. And if that's her goal, well, she seems pretty successful to me.

Yes Timekeeper, you are absolutely right. And I am a black man.
All of that "Girlfriend," "Strong" black woman stuff is over used and too loosely applied. Yes, there are strong black women – history is replete with them – and there is unity among men and women in the black community. Still, like the term "Diva," these descriptions are over-used and used in instances where they simply do not apply.
There are many exceptions, but I am just sick and tired of all of the "hood rats" who call themselves "Strong black women" what they are just the opposite. The call each other "Girlfriend," then call each other "Bitc#es" in the very next breath. How can a woman with any sense of pride and decency call herself a "female dog?"
These women profess unity while at the same time, they sleep with each others husbands. We are in trouble in America. While morality is suffering in women across racial lines (as well as gender lines – not to let men off the hook) it seems that the decline is being not only led by black women, but most glamorized by them.
Black women. please wake up!!!

NeNe you can't compete with people like Star who has their money working for them while you are working for your money. You have met your match and can't deal with it.
March 23rd, 2011
10:06 am
You go NeNe! I am not a fan of Star – she thinks she is better then everyone in the world! I love Celebrity Apprentice – but she makes the show not as enjoyable to watch – but I still am and everytime she is on – I will fast forward!
March 23rd, 2011
10:11 am
In regards to NeNe not getting along with Star, it appeared that she had no problem siding with her when they were all throwing Lisa Rinna under the bus. NeNe, Dion and Star all appeared to be made from the same mold if you ask me.

@ Light I totally agree with you..Nene has made a 'name for herself' she could care less what others think of her. She's a no none sense person who means what she say & says what she means. People complain about watching her on the RHOA & CA…but they still continue to watch…why??? because they enjoy the shows but won't admit it. Have a great day everyone

Also, I have to agree with Mr. Sims, these women want to say they are "strong black women". All I see is negativity and meanness. I wouldn't want to be friends with women like these or have to work with them for that matter.
March 23rd, 2011
10:25 am
NeNe is an embarrassment to all the sisters out there. She seems to have become even more full of herself and even hateful. She wants to be a star on TV, but obviously she is not television or even public material. And look at her family. It is a wreck. I can't stand Star either, but Nene is no celebrity and is not on the same level as any stars on that show. Nene, just go away.
March 23rd, 2011

Star is a has been. NeNe is a never was, never will be.

NeNe "Mr Ed" Leakes please take your 18 mins. and go back to Athens. You are the last person on earth to critique Star Jones. Ms. Jones is an educated woman and your not. Please exit the stage ASAP!

NeNe is cool. She's a bit ghetto, but cool. She shoots straight from the hip and I like that. Star is very intelligent and that's why she makes such huge asinie mistakes. She's full of hersef. Her father would tell her everyday she's a the brightest star in the world. Nothing wrong with a high level of self-esteem, but when it infringes on the space of others, Houston, we have a problem. She's conceited and not very good eye candy!

@jennifer, cute answer. at calvin sims- life is short, just make sure that your female is on the right path– and for those of you categorizing all Black women as the same ( and in a negative light), that's cool. we will use octo mom, charlie sheen and chris brown to categorize you.

as a admirer of blacks and all they have endured my question..is why they disrespect, and murder each other at alarming rates..havent as a race you have endured enough of disrespect,murder etc..nene leaks is such an embarrassment to all black women in america..i would love to take this ghetto clown to a Diana Ross concert then maybe she would learn how to act like ms ross (with class and some dignity) nene you feed that sterotypical view of black women with a large paint brush go hide in a cave somewhere..as a wealthy white male i would like to say to blacks.."IF YOU HAVE NO RESPECT FOR YOURSELF AND FOR YOUR RACE OF FOLKS WHY SHOULD ANYONE ELSE OF ANY RACE ANY WHERE AT ANY TIME RESPECT YOU?????..and please quit being so gulliable i doubt if the networks would let you get away with this nene with a white woman instead they would rather pit 2 black women against each other..THINK ABOUT IT SLOWLY AND THOUROUGLY!!!havent blacks been torn enough??..sincerly a white male and his loving wifes observation!!!..nene..you have put brown stain on Atlanta and that brown stain rymes with quit

Ok, I can't believe I am saying this but NeNe is right. Star Jones, an attorney she will remind you, is a MAJOR disaster. Anyone that ever saw her co-host The View will agree.
NeNe is just callin' them like she sees them.

One adjective from 'NeNe' on Star that doesn't apply to her is Conniving. She's straight up with no chaser, love or hate her she's making the celebrity circuit and making money by knocking 'Star'.

Leakes is an embarrassment to the both the City of Atlanta and the State of Georgia. It would be great if she and the rest of her kind (unremarkable, unjustifiably entitled drama queens) would pack up and head out for Hollywood. I promise they wouldn't be missed.

Uncle Sam bankrolled a third of Kansas spending in 2013
On the home front, Kansas' elected officials talk a big game about self-reliance and prudent fiscal governance, but last year more than a third of all dollars doled out by the Sunflower State came direct from the woefully-indebted federal government.
Should Kansas put its money where its mouth is and lessen its leaning on Uncle Sam's wallet? State Rep. Gene Suellentrop, R-Wichita, says yes – to a point, at least.Read More →

A must read from Rebecca Traister on the social construction of happiness.
Single mother's need pathways out of poverty from the Grio.
Digby on Elena Kagan.
Seriously, why IS 30 Rock obsessed with Lori Gottleib?
5 Comments
there is a disgusting Facebook even called PUNCH A SLUT IN THE HEAD WEEK. Everyone needs to report this.
here is a COUNTER even that protests the offensive event. Please tell everyone to join the event below:
by the way, this is the dickbag who created "PUNCH A SLUT IN THE HEAD WEEK," let him know how you feel:
let's get the word out that violence against girls and women are NOT okay! he needs to be PUNISHED for creating such a popular event. Disgusting.
I think happiness, in many ways, is dependent on those who seek to name the zeitgeist. And that depends completely on those with the power to set the tone and be lifted up as some authority. Whether that is real or imaginary at first doesn't matter, because if enough people believe it, then it becomes real. Our brains are that malleable and the human mind is that suggestible.
That's the truly scary thing.
the "Punch a Slut Week" has now been removed, which is great news. But unfortunately, there still exist many more offensive, misogynistic (along with racist and homophobic) groups on Facebook that calls for violence against females.
I agree. I would have liked the article much better if it had discussed the problems with the way society controls what happiness is and then given us a better way to understand happiness (as something closer to fulfillment or satisfaction that does not mean being complacent). It's true that we have to keep in mind that some people are not able at any given time to be happy, and we should not make them feel like they are failures because of it. Maybe the article could have, after giving a more useful conception of happiness, discussed how we could do things to make it possible for more people to be happy in that way rather than making them feel inferior because they are not able to be happy. Also, I really disagree with the idea of viewing unhappiness as a motivator for change. At least in my own experience, I find that having a real since of saitisfaction in life is much more of a productive motivation for me to seek to make the world better for myself and others. On the other hand, the humiliation and fear that she celebrates are, to me, paralyzing. Satisfaction and fulfillment don't have to blind us to the injustice that is out there.

Olympus pre-announces TOUGH line of SW cameras of 2009
Olympus Japan (computer-translated) has announced that they will be announcing new SW-series cameras in early 2009 and they have a new name for them: TOUGH! It will be interesting to see whether they will still use the "Stylus" name in the US market, because "Stylus TOUGH" is rather contradictory. The cameras will have three defining characteristics:
- waterproof and dustproof performance
- high-impact performance
- low-temperature performance
Memo to Olympus (Special Commentary)
Changing the name of these cameras is like re-arranging the chairs (on the Titanic) - if you want them to have mass-market appeal, you know what you have to do, deal with the "Olympushed" scandals:
- Use SD/SDHC/MMC memory cards (in addition to xD)
- Stop with the panorama-card silliness
- Bonus: Apologize for the previous two
How dare you think that by adding "microSD" you can get away with it? How dare you Sirs? Burying your users deeper into the xD media hole you dugg up not to ...smartly is the wrong way to go! Adding SD/SDHC memory card support would have these cameras flying off the shelves!
Just like the Detroit auto-makers, the executives running Olympus are in living in their own bubble, a bubble that at times seems orthogonal to reality!
This the 2326th day since the declaration of xD accomplished on July 30, 2002. Good night, and good luck!

Going to Couples Therapy ... Alone
Can couples therapy work if 50% of the couple is MIA?
Dr. Wendy Walsh: Marriage is hard work. Problems can arise in so many personal "overlap" areas -- from sex and money to child rearing and communication. And during the long haul, in terms of happiness rates, there will be many peaks and valleys. When you find yourself in a valley, couples therapy can be a great way to tune up the machine of love and get your marriage back on track. But there are plenty of husbands who wouldn't step foot in a therapist's office, even if they were the one being paid to be there. So, what's a wife to do? Can couples therapy work if 50% of the couple is MIA?
The answer is a resounding YES. Here's why. A marriage is a system. A family is a larger system where the marriage is a vital gear. If any part of that system changes, the entire system changes. The classic example is the alcoholic family member who refuses to get help. Unknowingly, the other family members' behavior supports and enables the alcoholic's behavior. But if even one member goes to Al-Anon and/or private therapy, they can learn techniques that can help them stop enabling the problem drinker, and the entire family will be affected. It might not be comfortable change. But it will be change.
Another thing that personal therapy can do is help you reframe the problems in your marriage, and assess your place in it. This can change your reactions to your husband's behavior and thus, change the marriage. Here's an example: a wife complains that her husband is a terrible communicator. He comes home from work, gives a few grunts during dinner, and heads to the TV immediately afterward. She nags and nags him in an attempt to get him out of his shell and interacting with her. Eventually she gives him ultimatums. But nothing works.
In personal therapy, she learns that she feels lonely in her marriage. She feels unseen and unheard. The therapist helps her link these feelings to early childhood events that may have been the root of her sadness. Then she asks her to foster the relationships in her life that do help her feel good, perhaps her women friends or family members. As the wife spends more time relying on friends and her feelings of neediness are assuaged, the husband can now safely lower his defenses and come out of his shell a bit. But it's important to remember, this won't work if the goal is to get another person to behave in a new way. If she is trying to manipulate him by going out with her girlfriends more, she won't really have changed inside. She's still a lonely woman, now nagging him with her behavior. But if she actually grows in self-esteem, realizes that she is lovable and can reach out for acceptance from those who will respond in a positive way, her mood will affect the family.
All therapy is a route to personal growth and higher-level thinking. It can take us out of unconscious reactions and help us understand our behaviors as being connected to our thoughts and feelings. My favorite saying is, "Therapy doesn't make you happy. It makes you real." Authentic feelings, when expressed in a non-confrontational way, can create a path toward intimacy in your marriage. Therapy can also help us learn to have empathy and accept others. So many things that we interpret as deliberate attempts to hurt us are actually someone else's protection reflex. In other words, he's not hurting you, he's protecting himself from you. Having empathy for his tender psyche can help bring you back to the place of loving respect that started it all.
And marriage is worth it. It is through the friction created in love relationships that we grow as individuals. Every crisis in a marriage is an opportunity to grow closer through understanding ourselves and the feelings of our partner. Conflict is part of the game. A relationship without conflict is one without emotional intimacy. Relationships should not be judged by the amount of conflict, but by the ability to repair after conflict. And, having a helpful guide in the form of a therapist can help you through that repair process.
|Dr. Wendy Walsh holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and her area of interest is Attachment Theory, a psychological, evolutionary and ethological theory that provides a descriptive and explanatory framework for understanding interpersonal relationships between human beings. As a psychological assistant registered with the California Board of Psychology, Dr. Walsh has treated individuals, couples and families for a variety of mental health concerns including personality disorders, anger management, eating and substance disorders, and depression.
I think this is such fantastic advice. I'm not even sure what to add it's so good! It makes perfect sense that each person needs to work on themselves individually and that can affect the relationship as a whole. I think in marriage people can forget that they are separate individuals with separate issues, and everything is a "we". This is a good way to put focus back on themselves, as a single person. Thanks for the post.

Whatever you thought when Bruno Mars was named halftime entertainer for Super Bowl XLVIII, let's just put it aside, shall we? The singer not only shared the stage with Red Hot Chili Peppers but he opted to let a whole bunch of folks no one has ever heard of share the stage with him on one of the biggest nights of his career. I'm talking, of course, about the members of the U.S. military whose pre-taped montage introduced Mars' last song of the show.
If he was looking for a way to win America's heart, Bruno nailed it.
The show itself was a relatively light and fun romp, with limited hip thrusting by Mars and a rather curious set of leggings on Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis, who rocked out shirtless in the bitter New Jersey cold. Mars blew through a snippet of Billionaire, followed by Locked Out of Heaven and Treasure, then a mashup of Runaway Baby and Shout. RHCP joined him for a quick version of Give It Away, and I do mean quick. The troops seemed to get as much time as RHCP -- which is as it should be.
More From The Stir: 10 Best Super Bowl Commercials of 2014 (VIDEOS)
Making dedications to their loved ones -- we are just a few weeks away from Valentine's Day -- the soldiers brought the tone down (and brought some tears to our eyes) so Mars could switch into ballad mode for Just the Way You Are as fireworks burst out of Met Life Stadium.
If the military choppers flying over the stadium before kick-off hadn't already reminded you that there are people sacrificing every day so we can enjoy something as simple as a football game, then the half-time show certainly drove it home.
Kudos to Mars for being willing to share his glory moment with some folks who deserve a little more glory.
Watch the half-time show -- what was your favorite part?

That rocked. Never a huge fan of Bruno but I may be a convert. It doesn't matter if Bruno had anything to do with the troops giving a shout out it is always a welcome montage! With the RHCP there it brought back many wonderful memories and was perfect for the crowd they were there to reach...not the children. I had my kids in the room and they didn't look at the tv once. The Super Bowl is not a kid friendly place. If you are ok letting your kids watch grown men kick the shit out of each other and not watch an amazing iconic band then have some things reevaluated.
I could take him or leave him, BUT I thought he did a good halftime show. He's a good performer with a good voice and I didn't hate seeing Anthony Kiedis shirtless either.
Val, your an ass, and it is your right to be. however the4mutts? i always love reading your comments.
I applaud the nfl for including a pro-nursing group such as the RHCP.
I thought it was a great show.

So I just finished reading PoA again and so many Marauders feels as usual. but I also got a lot of Jily and Harry feels. There's this part when Harry thinks for a split second about how once he can produce a patronus he won't hear Lily and James dying anymore but that means he'll never hear them again because that's the only a time he ever gets to hear them. And when he produces a corporeal patronus for the first time, it's right after he finds out the truth about Sirius and Remus and how he has a family in them and I always assumed that's what the memories were that he used for his patronus. but the actual moment he finds the strength to do it is after he thinks it's James that cast the patronus but then realizes it's him. He can produce a charm that requires the happiest memories after he realizes that he is his father and that he's found James in himself. How absolutely insane is that. All he ever wanted was a family and he found his parents in himself and he's covered by his mother's love and he has his father's spirit but he never gets to meet them and it's JUST NOT FAIR DAMN IT.
You know this reminds me of? The Potter family and what it should have been. A Stag, a Doe and a Fawn. THIS IS NOT EVEN FUNNY. IT'S FUCKING HEART WRENCHING. AND IT'S NOT FAIR. IT'S JUST NOT OKAY!
A Month of Sundays by ~Tetra-Zelda
Here is a sketch/drawing that is about 6 months old from an old James and Lily fic I read called "A Month of Sundays".
"Lily rolled her eyes. She tried to think of a powerful memory. As she watched James steer his stag around the room, a thought occurred to her. As soon as it entered her mind, she knew this would do it. The idea that this memory could not produce a Patronus was laughable, though she was not sure where she was drawing her confidence from. It was a powerful memory—the feeling of positivity—not quite happiness—was returning to her as strongly as if she was there again, living it.
"Ooh, I reckon Evans has got a good one," James said, eyeing her as she concentrated. "Am I right?"
Lily looked James in the eyes, her own blazing, her jaw set, her mind made up that she would produce a Patronus and if this memory and the feeling it gave her could not do it, she was not sure what would. She pulled back her sleeves, pointed her wand and shouted, "Expecto Patronum!"
This was no mere wisp of silver. So bright it was almost solid, something leapt from her wand, the largest Patronus in the room other than James's. Several people in the class ooohed, and Lily saw that Severus wore an expression of unmistakable admiration. With a delicate trot, Lily's doe traveled the perimeter of the room, stopping when it met James's stag. The latter reared its antlered head playfully, nudging its prongs into the doe's side. The doe leapt, prodding the stag with her hooves and then ramming him gently with her head. The class laughed appreciatively, including Lily, but when she looked up to see James's reaction, he merely stood there, his eyes focused very intently on her, narrowed behind his square-rimmed glasses. He stole a fleeting, worried glance at Libby, and although her expression was relatively blank, there was a lot of color in her face as she looked at Lily.
Her concentration away from the doe and with James equally distracted, the Patronuses vanished. Everyone got back to work, and Libby went wordlessly to the other side of the room to join Maggie and Alice. James gave Lily a small smile, tore his eyes away from her, and leaned back over his Transfiguration book. Lily noticed that Remus and Sirius were looking at each other, eyebrows raised and suppressing smiles, as if something unseemly but very amusing had just taken place in front of them. Severus was eyeing her shrewdly, looking oddly curious but undeniably upset."
I feel like most Snily shippers rely on "Always" (opinions here: http://theinfalliblemarauderette.tumblr.com/post/24931874726/always) and the patronuses. And obviously Snape's patronus is the same as Lily's because he loved her and always would and his happy memories must be with her. But let's just focus on the fact that Jily is canon for this bit. Because obviously, in Jo's world, James and Lily belonged together. And their patronuses reflected that because they were complementary. But Snape's was the same as Lily's. And I guess in my head it's like they don't belong together because Snape's didn't reflect Lily's; it was Lily's. I don't doubt Snape's love for Lily at all; I believe that he truly did love her always. But in my opinion, their patronuses show that James and Lily fit together. It wasn't about one more than the other but a give and take and they just fit. I feel like because their patronuses showed a pair and not a replica, it makes me feel like they belong together more.
just the ramblings of an overenthusiastic Jily shipper.

I've been going to Bandit's Bath House for years. They know my dog and give him a custom cut per my instructions. I'm also notified if he has had any problems (nipping, irritations, etc.). I think they are a very busy establishment, but would recommend them.
- Jim, Rochester
Great deal for the do-it-yourselfers! They supply shampoo, towels, driers and they clean up the tubs after you leave....which is great since my dogs leave behind quite a bit of hair.
- April, Rochester
Bandit's is great! Everyone there has always been very friendly and caring with our dogs. We often buy our dog food at Bandit's too, especially when they run one of their $5 off coupons. Bandit's is a major convenience for us. Giving two dogs a bath can be quite a production and a mess at home. At Bandit's it's much easier. They even supply a variety of shampoos, unlimited towels and hair dryers, and treats for the dogs!

A man accused of murdering a North Texas teen girl used a fake Facebook profile to gain her trust, then picked her up from school and shot her and choked her to death, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
Police say 30-year-old Franklin Davis killed 16-year-old Shania Gray on Thursday because she was going to testify against him in a rape trial. He admitted to the crime and showed police where the body was, according to Carrollton PD.
Gray's body was discovered in a park alongside the Trinity River on Saturday.
Davis was accused of sexually assaulting Gray back in March 2010, when the teen babysat Davis' two children.
"His trial is coming up, and basically he did not want her to testify against him," said Gray family friend Nina Adams.
According to the arrest warrant affidavit, Davis contacted Gray on a social media site while pretending to be someone else. He used her trust to gain information about what she planned to say during the trial.
The warrant says he used a pre-paid cell phone to contact Gray, and made arrangements to pick her up after school on Thursday. "...Gray was surprised to see him," the warrant states. "Gray got into Davis' car after he told her that he wanted to talk to her about the March of 2010 criminal case."
Instead of just talking, Davis told police he drove the girl to a park trail beside the Trinity River in Irving, then shot her twice.
"Davis stated that Gray fell partially into the river and began asking, 'Why, Wish?', a nicknamed that Davis admitted to using," the affidavit says. "Davis then reached down and pulled Gray up onto the bank. Davis stated that he then stepped on her neck until she stopped breathing."
Davis told police where to find the body. Nearby, they discovered the .380 pistol that Davis admitted to using.
Gray was a track and field athlete who competed three times in the Junior Olympics. She transferred from Mesquite to Hebron High School this fall.
Hebron's principal issued a news release to parents and students.
"Based upon the most recent facts, the police department has shared that this situation was not an abduction," wrote Principal Scot Finch. "We encourage you to talk with your student this evening about this situation as well as getting into cars with acquaintances or friends."

If Romney wins, there are many things to focus on and many things that need to be changed. One of them is Voter Fraud. We need s system that makes voter fraud darn near impossible. Because if you can't trust the vote / election results, all else is meaningless. I'm surprised that we don't have a national ID card. Many countries do. We also need a federal data base of voters, so people can't vote in multiple states. Tie it to the obits, so the dead stop voting. In Ohio, the only ID you need is an old utility bill. Hard to believe, isn't it?

Very nice! Who does your boxes and leather work?

Very nice! Who does your boxes and leather work?
Different shops for each, whoever I feel gives the best product.
Actually, I work with artists that hand craft these for me.. That will take my designs, and make them a reality. :)
The box maker is Tom Blevins, And for my leather. I use Carl Thomas. another fine craftsman and leather smith.
These look like some gifts for a Norseman warrior. :viking:
Is that writing on the lids?
Yes, Each has a written name in Gaelic. The other symbols burnt into the box and sheath are Christian symbols, one for the trinity and the other is the earliest known Christian cross found in Celtic ruins etc.
Amazing! Those look like props for an upcoming hollywood summer blockbuster!! Except that they would never be used in the fight scenes. Nobody wants knives that would actually kill.
Athough... if your daggers got rid of kirsten dunst, I might actually pay for the entire batch of knives in return for "services rendered to the good of mankind".
Impressive work.
Thanks guys. Im gona be trying to package and send these out this week. This packaging them all to be safely delivered may be a bigger challenge then making them. lol :)
Anyways, Back to the grind, I have 2 Meteorite damascus hunting knives coming up next on my list as well as a couple others. Im not sure which thing I ill tackle first or if Ill do 4 or 5 of them all at the same time. :) Which believe it or not seems to work best for me somehow. So if one isnt seeming to "Talk" to me I have a back up waiting to "Talk" to me!! Well now im just being silly.
Thanks again for checking out this thread. I plan to try and keep this one rolling and updated. as often as possible.
God Bless YA!
Thats fantastic Randy! Beautiful homes, with a theme none the less, to house the fantastic work you did on those Sgian Dubhs! Well done sir!
Next couple of blades and some odds and ends.
Meteorite damascus blades.
Some damascus and silver jewelry
Damascus earrings, silver and SS hoops.
High carbon damascus dog tags. :)
Stainless steel damascus cuff links with sterling silver backs.
Mammoth tooth and damascus charms set in sterling silver bezels. http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/...094800x533.jpg
Meteorite damascus crosses.
Hey Randy, Any of the jewelry available?

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
October 2014
- 03.13.2012
- Retail Sales
- Retail sales increased 1.1 percent in February and have increased 6.5 percent on a year-over-year basis. There were also upward revisions to the reading for both December (from flat to a 0.3 percent increase) and January (from a 0.4 percent to a 0.6 percent increase). After a large jump in December (2.6 percent) and a drop off in January (1.6 percent), auto sales were up a bit in February, increasing 1.6 percent. Retail sales excluding the auto sector were up 0.9 percent in February after a 1.1 percent increase in January, and are up 6.4 percent over last February. This pulled the near-term (3-month) growth rate up from 0.4 percent to 0.6 percent. Contributing to the gains in both retail sales and retail sales excluding the auto industry, sales for gasoline stations jumped up in February with an increase of 3.3 percent (likely price related) following a 1.9 percent increase in January. The impact of the increase in gas station sales on the total can be seen by looking at the "core" retail sales, which excludes autos, building supplies and gas stations. "Core" retail sales were up only 0.4 percent in February after an increase of 1.0 percent in January. The near-term growth rate for "core" retail sales increased from 0.3 percent to 0.4 percent. Other sectors that saw the strongest sales gains in February were building materials, garden equipment, and supply dealers (1.4 percent increase), clothing and accessory stores (1.8 percent increase), electronics and appliance stores (1.0 percent increase), and sporting goods, hobby, book and music stores (1.0 percent increase). Sectors that saw decreases in February were furniture and home furnishing stores (1.2 percent decrease) and general merchandise stores (0.1 percent decrease).

- Birthdays. Lots of them lately. Apparently I am drawn to Pisces. Who knew?
- Dahlias. Specifically THIS story on Design*Sponge on the glory of dahlias, courtesy of Studio Choo. Gahhhh, aren't they gorgeous?! What would I would give to live in a floral studio like that...
- Buttermints. Do you know about buttermints? I think they might be a Southern thing. Or maybe an old lady thing. They aren't so popular anymore…
Help Me Rhonda, how that woman loved her buttermints.
She thought keeping them in a single candy bowl would breed germs, so she used little disposable cups instead. Not a bad idea, only problem was, Grandnanna was obsessive about everything matching. It would be a cold day in July before a blue cupcake liner made it into her pink kitchen. The woman refused to serve food with ketchup at the kitchen table because it clashed with the décor. I'm not even kidding.
Needless to say, she always kept a variety of cupcake liners on hand. They didn't make a lot of color/pattern options back then, so if you saw something nifty you just picked them up and saved them until Grandnanna's birthday. She would get mad if you bought her a real gift, but simple indulgences like cupcake liners and heavy duty aluminum foil were greatly appreciated.
Ramble Ramble Ramble…because I inherited every breed of crazy from Grandnanna, it's only natural I also inhereted some of her cupcake liners and started a collection on my own. Eventually the collection got so big I had to curb it by setting a $1.00 a packet limit on all new acquisitions. Of course, wouldn't you know it, the fancy department store down the street, the one with the great kitchenware departments where I'm always buying registry gifts, is always selling cupcake liners on clearance and they are always priced 89cents. Polka dots, checks, and stripes…it's different every time. I can never pass them up. One time, I passed up on buying some Laura Ashley style pink pansy print cupcake liners, and I swear to you, an hour later I was craving buttermints so bad I had to take two buses to get to a greasy-spoon diner where they keep them at the hostess stand.
It was totally worth it.
|Making these is so easy. Just grab a lunch sac, some twine, hot glue, and of course, cupcake liners! I make bag handles just by gluing the twine to the inside of the bag. This is gift wrap y'all, no need for long term quality here.
|If you want to be thorough about things, use an existing shopping bag like the white one above. Whatever you do, don't just go out and buy a gift bag! True Craftmeisters never buy bags or ribbon. It's the law, y'all.
|Ruffles work wonders! Just pinch a cupcake liner or two and hot glue to end of some rustic old twine. Ta Da!

The New York Jets are looking at releasing Mark Sanchez and ending the drama filled era in which he occupied a roster spot for the team. But while the Jets and their fans are tired of having Sanchez underperform for them, one NFL coach has a very different opinion of the former fifth overall draft pick.
An unnamed NFL coach spoke with the New York Post stated that Sanchez would be his team's starter the instant he walked through their door.
One coach of a quarterback-needy team said his team already has discussed Sanchez internally as an option to be its starting quarterback in 2014. "We'd take Sanchez," the coach said. "He'd be the starter as soon as he walked in the door for us."
The key phrase there is 'quarterback-needy', as it appears that's the only type of team that would take a chance on Sanchez given his body of work with the Jets. While it seems like a compliment that a coach would say Sanchez is a starter on his roster, that likely say less about Sanchez and even less about the roster he'd be joining.
Still, there seems to be a market for the quarterback, which may prompt the Jets to try and trade Sanchez before just cutting him loose.

Report: Tennessee Grill
I've been meaning to write about Tennessee Grill but it's one of those place half the people get and half don't...and of course I'm hesitant to kill the vibe. It might be the last of its kind in SF.
Tennessee Grill is one of those places that aren't around much any more – a hole-in-the-wall American diner that makes most of its food from scratch (nothing is over-salted) and yet is inexpensive. It reminds me of old school Chinese American places like Jackson Cafe and Valley Cafe but without a Chinese menu...but the concept/food is similar (including the frozen peas/carrots).
Out in the Sunset District it's definitely not trendy but that's part of its charm. I'm a fan. Reasonable prices, well-prepared food, the clientele and the diverse staff. I don't think anything is over $10 bucks…most plates are around $6.25 for a la carte, $7.50 for full.
In the morning it's usually packed with senior eating breakfast...a sign of value. At lunch and dinner I've see many single senior men, which I gather is a sort of a default meal plan for these guys...an old school social function, and it's nice to see.
My highlights:
Chicken Fried Steak – cooked from scratch, mashed potatoes, veggies and 4 slices of Boudin's sourdough and butter. (I have no idea how it compares to stuff in the South but for $6.25 in SF I'm don't care really.)
Fried Chicken – a full ½, cooked to order and fresh, veggies, mash potatoes.
Typical specials might be roast beef, ox tails, roast pork, corned beef and cabbage or salmon. Prices range from about $7.50 to $9.00. I've never had anything bad served except some dry roast pork (maybe 10 years ago) just don't expect anything beyond good solid diner food.
For all full meals, $1.25 more gets you tea/coffee, a big bowl of soup (usually minestrone) or the salad bar (to be avoided).
Burger – The Tennessee special; fresh beef, cooked to order, char-grilled, fries (frozen…only okay) and cheese - $4.10. In my mind this is a huge value and beats Bills because it's cooked over a charbroiler/grill. Most sandwiches/burgers are in the $5 buck range.

re: NoeMan
Sarah and NM, thanks for the tip. I've never been to Bashful Bull but of course have driven by a million times. Unfortunately I don't live out there any longer so if I'm in the 'hood, I go to TG. I'm going to have to stop in.
Another greasy spoon breakfast place is New Taraval Cafe, a block from TG. Not as good as TG, breakfast and lunch only but it has a few things going for it -- they roast a fresh turkey every day for hot plates and sandwiches and they serve an Irish breakfast and lots of Irish contractors come in for it. Less expensive as Tennessee (I mean cheap), as hard as that might be to be believe.
re: ML8000
I'll give it a try. I love Irish breakfasts
re: ML8000
I just called TG and found out oxtails are served on Thursdays -- yay! Thanks for the tip!
I first heard about this place in a Dan Leone column many years ago and by that time he had led me so undeliciously astray so far too many times that I just wrote it off as another disaster waiting to happen to my tummy. Thanks for another look at it (unless, of course, you're Dan ... :)
re: Chuckles the Clone
Or whatever her name is now............
I worked in the neighborhood for awhile, and it was always a treat if I could make the time for a little longer lunch so that I could have the fried chicken. Since it's fried to order you need more than fifteen minutes (my usual lunch time in those days). Always moist white meat, nice tasty and crispy skin, and good mashers. I miss the joint, so thanks for the reminder.
Thanks for the report. Can't wait to try the CFS.
As I mentioned in the other thread, the owner of Tennessee Grill also has Larkin Express Deli in the Tenderloin. He's been wanting to start a breakfast service there. If he hasn't already, I hope he can get it going soon, as he seems to understand the morning meal well!

re: Melanie Wong
Ah I know who you're talking about. He mans the register in the evenings. Seems like a nice guy.
re: NoeMan
I'm one of those passing-thru-ers now that I don't live in the Avenues. In fact yesterday I was thinking about swinging by since I was in the Richmond around 4 p.m....but it was too early, not hungry enough and in the wrong direction. Not having it close by makes you appreciate it a little more. Not changing since the '50s...in this case it's a good sign.
re: ML8000
>Had the CFS.<
How was it? And the gravy?
>black and white pudding.<
I assume it's Irish, but what is it?
re: Mick Ruthven
The chicken fried steak is very good...freshly made, hand dipped in egg wash and floured (I saw them do it) ...although the steak could have been frozen but given it's a "less then great cut"...what are you going to say? Brown gravy, house made mashed potatoes, frozen peas - $6.75, large portion. I think it's the best in SF. How it compares to the South, not going to go there. For $6.75 and freshly made in SF, it's sort of pointless.
Yes, Irish breakfast...I think I wrote that. There's a large (relatively) Irish population in the Sunset (I guess the weather is like home) so it must be in response to demand.
re: ML8000
>Yes, Irish breakfast<
But what is black and white pudding?
re: Mick Ruthven
I am married to an Irish gal and we have a home there (I also have my Irish citizenship), so I am going from 20 years of substantial experience with this stuff and it is still quite a mystery. And I am a bit of a food nut and have always asked about this stuff trying to get details. People tend to be very sketchy about what the puddings really are. Yikes.
To me black and white puddings are like sausages, never understood the use of the term puddings over in that time zone (e.g., Yorkshire pudding). The "black" one is definitely a dark "blood" sausage that I usually just taste and only finish if I am truly starving (and very hungover). The white one reminds me of a slice of a large pork sausage and I always eat it. My wife says they are both blood pork sausages, but she admits she honestly doesn't know because she has always hated them and never ate them or wanted to know what was in them. Her Mother and sisters felt the same way, but her Dad and brother loved the stuff. Is it a guy thing? She's not even positive that the white one has pork in it. (Now there's a vote of confidence).
Irish breakfast is usually one fried egg (sunny side up with brunt crispy edges like they do in New York ... Yuck), and in addition to the puddings you also get Irish Bacon (aka Rashers, that are really like thin sliced ham cooked under a broiler; technically it is back bacon) and Irish link sausages which are thin sausages like American breakfast pork sausage and not the big fat things the Brits call Bangers. The Irish NEVER call their sausages Bangers. Irish sausages are fantastic in my opinion, with lovely spicing. Each small town has a few butchers that do their own little twist and have loyal, multi-generation cult-like followings. They are different from American breakfast sausages in that the filling is much finer, more like our hot dogs. The Irish sausages you get here are generally mass produced imports from Oscar Meyer-like huge producers that service big city clienteles like Dublin, etc., but they are still better than nothing. About fifteen years ago, there was a guy from Roscrea, the town next to my wife's home town, who moved here and was making his own Irish meat products (Tierney's Meats) as butcher at Shanahan's (now Roxie's) Market on 9th (or 7th) and Kirkham. He sadly died young and I think they now import the mass produced stuff, like all the other Irish shops.
Lastly, with an Irish breakfast you get a grilled or broiled small tomato half and sometimes baked beans and of course white toast. The tomato was luxury during the rough economic times of the 50's thru 80's, as a small taste of the tropics, before the mega-supermarkets were loaded with variety all year round.
Long answer to your short question. If any chefs out there know the ingredients of the puddings, I'm pretty sure I'd like to know, but I'm slightly apprehensive as well......
re: NoeMan
What a great informative reply! Now I know enough to ask to substitute Irish sausages or bacon for the "pudding" as well as lots of other good info.
re: NoeMan
Great info. Sounds like pudding is in the tradition of tail to snout (look away). Nothing like an inside read.

During the Season 1 finale, Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) gave birth and was immediately killed, only to wake up as a hybrid. But with the baby's life at stake, Hayley, along with Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Elijah (Daniel Gillies), made the heartbreaking decision to give baby Hope to the only person they could trust with keeping her safe: Rebekah (Claire Holt). But for both parents, the devastating loss will be their drive and purpose when the show returns.
A re-telling of the backdoor pilot, but this time from Elijah's point-of-view. Determined to help his brother find redemption, Elijah follows Klaus to New Orleans and soon learns that the werewolf Hayley Marshall has also come searching for clues to her family history, and has fallen into the hands of a powerful witch named Sophie Deveraux, who leads an underground coven. When Sophie reveals some life-changing news, Elijah realizes that the Original family may have been given a second chance at humanity and redemption. Klaus, however, is more intrigued by his recent unexpected reunion with his former protege, Marcel, a charismatic but diabolical vampire who now has total control over the supernatural inhabitants of New Orleans. Klaus vows to reclaim what was once his – the power, the city and his family.

Hope took on a new meaning by the end of The Originals Season 1 finale.
After being kidnapped by the witches, Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) gave birth and was immediately killed. Fortunately, she had her child's blood in her body and was reborn, but this time as a hybrid. By the end of the hour, Hayley, along with Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Elijah (Daniel Gillies), made the heartbreaking decision to give the baby, aptly named Hope, to the one person they could trust with keeping her safe — Rebekah (Claire Holt). With her new supernatural form, and after losing the only family she's ever known, Hayley will be at rock bottom when the series returns.
The Originals' Klaus is about to become a baby daddy, but will that change anything in the villainous vampire?
"I hope so," Joseph Morgan tells TVGuide.com. "There is certainly potential for it. If Klaus sees the baby or gets to hold the baby, I don't know if it'll make him go more in that [nurturing] direction or send him the other way. I can see him not being able to handle it. With him becoming a father it's interesting to see how that affects his bloodlust."
