If you can't talk about throw up, you may want to skip down in this post a little bit. Throwing up (twice) was part of my migraine headache process. Growing up, I got a few migraines a year and they were bad. When they came on, I needed to be in a quiet, dark room, with a cold wash cloth on my forehead and just lay there. It would take a few hours, but finally I would throw up, lay back down for a little bit, throw up a second time and my headache would be gone and I could rejoin the world again. Thankfully, I outgrew those types of headaches. But I still get severe headaches as an adult. Over the years, I've tried tons of different headache remedies. My headaches are a little bit different each time so I usually try all of these things to see if one will work. I really try to do this before turning to my prescription headache medicine. I've been able to find relief with these methods and wanted to share them with you in case you are a chronic headache sufferer as well.
5 Quick Tips to Make Your Day Healthier
A few summers ago I decided to try to look a little better in my bathing suit and pay more attention to my overall health. That meant that what I was eating was the primary focus of every minute of my day. It felt like a full time job just to make sure I had healthy options around that were prepped and ready for when I was hungry. The results were awesome. But I couldn't sustain that level of attention on my diet. I'm still on a quest to live a more healthy lifestyle but I'm choosing to not let it take over my life. I'm guessing you also don't want to give up your life and only pay attention to how clean you are eating so today I'm sharing 5 quick tips to make your day healthier. While these aren't going to get you bikini ready, they are easy ways to start rethinking your daily routine and how you can make even more, bigger changes in the future.
A Pretty Blackberry Smoothie Recipe
I'm partnering with Aveeno® to share how to promote healthy skin, from the inside out, as part of a sponsored post with Socialstars. #AveenoTurns out you get more health benefits from a smoothie than from toaster pastries! I've spent my life trying to ignore that fact, but the truth is, eating natural foods, really does help promote a healthier body. The right diet, paired with the right skin care products, can get you beautiful, healthy skin. This blackberry smoothie recipe is delicious and will help your skin, from the inside out.
Body Image : Shorts or No Shorts?
So, I guess I'm really going for it this summer with all these posts about myself. I mean, I showed you my big old face last week, wrinkles and all. I've shared my scars with you. Well today I'm sharing my cellulite, stretch marks and body image issues with you. If you are a regular reader, you know I like to keep it real. But I also think it is really healthy for me to share this stuff with you. For years I wouldn't leave the house without blow drying and straightening my hair. But I am WAY past that now and it has been very freeing. Ok, well I still always have makeup but my hair is air dried. But I have another goal for myself. One that I think many other people also have. So let's encourage each other and see if we can all free one of our body image phobias. It has been YEARS since I've worn shorts. Yes, I wore them once last summer in Palm Springs. And guess what, I wore them a few Saturdays ago to the grocery store. But I'd really like to get to a place where I feel confidant enough to through them on whenever it's hot out. When was the last time you wore shorts? Are you afraid of them like I am?
I bought this CUTE black shorts romper from Old Navy while on a vacation in May. I have not worn it yet except to take these pictures in the safety of Lauren's back yard. I didn't even wear it home. I changed back in to my other clothes before I left. Why does it have to be this way? For me, I think my image issues are two-fold. Half of it is man-made (ie my cellulite from my love affair with Pop Tarts and my love handles from all those desserts) and the stretch marks I had no control over from growing very fast. The chalk-white skin doesn't help anything but since worshipping the sun is out for me, I can only rely on creams to give them color (if I want a nice orangey hue). I see all kinds of people wearing shorts and it is encouraging to me that one day I'll be able to wear them too without a second thought. And since I had a trip to Mexico coming up, where it is like a trillion degrees, I knew that I would HAVE to wear shorts.
It took all my effort to play it cool standing still for Lauren to take these photos. Sitting is a whole other problem. I was so uncomfortable sitting in these shorts! I know that we always see our flaws in a much more pronounced way than others. I'm choosing to share these photos on here in an effort to help myself overcome my fear of people judging my flaws, which most people wouldn't do unless they are total a-holes. Since the beginning of June, I have really changed my diet and have started seeing some crazy improvements. It really is true, diet and exercise works. I haven't put too much emphasis on the exercise portion yet, but the diet has helped me start to improve my body from the inside out. As well as how I view my body. I don't have a scale so I can only go by how my clothes are fitting and the fact that my muffin top is almost gone! Huzzah! So the other day when it was super hot and I had to run out to the store, I felt like I could finally reach for a pair of shorts. I texted 3 different people to let them know I was outside in shorts and I climbed in my car to do my grocery shopping. Guess what? No one laughed at me or my legs. Liberating. I felt proud that I had really made a difference with my lifestyle for the better and was able to change some of my problem areas just with making better choices. And there are things that I can do for the stretch marks as well. I can't wait to try out this body scrub from Frank which targets cellulite, stretch marks, eczema and more. I get that it will take more than just a scrub to completely erase my trouble areas, but it is nice to know there are things, especially made from natural ingredients, that might help them out.
Before I left for Mexico I got a spray tan since I knew it would help me feel more confidant in my shorts and DEFINITELY in my swimsuit. Our first full day there, I wore shorts. And I didn't hate it! I made Lauren take a picture as proof. This is my best Giselle pose. Because I am sure she throws herself in to a corner to get THE shot. We walked around town all day and I ended up loving wearing the shorts. I felt like a huge hurdle was cleared. I wore shorts the next day as well. And when I got home, I didn't hesitate to put on shorts. As my tan is gone at this point, I do feel a little more self conscious about wearing them. But it is WAY less than it was at the start of summer. I'm going to keep up with my healthy eating and perhaps add in a little more exercise. Perhaps. But I have some bad news to report. I wore those adorable ruffled black shorts one time and since they got ocean water on them I washed them when I got home. I hand washed them and hung them to dry. They totally shrunk! Such a bummer! I think I can still wear them but only to the pool. I would NEVER go to the store in them now as I think they may frown on actually seeing that much of a woman's bum.
Now can we talk for a second about my man hands? This is another problem area for me. I mean, look at that dainty little wrist. And then look at that gorilla hand hanging off of it.
I mean, a girl should be able to drink out of a punchbowl and not feel like she is in a Seinfeld episode. I was going to share this image last year on Instagram but didn't because my man hand was just too much to share. So here it is. Although diet is not going to change my opinion or size of my hands, I'm going to let my insecurities about them go. What are the insecurities you need to let go of? Will you pledge to wear shorts with me this summer and beyond?
Healthier Snack Ideas for Kids
I decided to sit my kids down the other day to see if I could figure out some healthier snacking options for them. I started off by asking them what their favorite junk foods are. My oldest said, "the middle of those chocolate sandwich cookies, chocolate caramel pretzel granola bars, lattes (He's joking, he's never had a latte. That I am aware of.) and ice cream. My youngest said, "ice cream, any kind of chocolate, pretty much all candy and gummy fruit snacks." I wasn't surprised by their answers. And that was a good starting point for trying to give them better options while still getting a little bit of what they want. What do you think your kids would say?
Studies show that dark chocolate has good properties, right? And moderation is the key. So I am fine including chocolate in their snacking. But I make sure that it isn't the entire snack and that I pair it with fruit or pretzels, both of which go AMAZING with dark chocolate. This way, they aren't eating an entire chocolate bar, or a bunch of chocolate candy, but getting a little to satisfy their cravings.
My youngest would happily survive on gummy snacks if I let him. So I decided to try swapping them with straight up dried fruit. While there is still a lot of sugar in dried fruit, there isn't all the other funky chemicals like in those crazy-colored, super chewy fruit gummies. At least I am pretty sure there isn't all that other stuff in there…
Sometimes they ask for chips or sugar cereals for a snack. Due to food allergies, we can't give them nuts, but salted sunflower seeds are a great substitute. They are crunchy and salty with good fats which their little bodies need. I, on the other hand, need to be careful with these in the house because I want to eat them by the spoonful. So yummy.
When they get home from school I like to give them a snack that is a little bit more hearty. If I don't, I find they ask for more food several times leading up to dinner. For this snack I make Sunbutter and banana "quesadillas". There is no cheese in these, they just look like a quesadilla. The Sunbutter is a great substitute for peanut butter (dumb allergies) and the banana is a nice sweet touch. You can make it even a little bit more decadent by spraying a non-stick pan with a little bit of spray oil and then grilling it up. Oh man. Try this.

Now that anyone can set a bounty on other peoples question, it might be nice to know who actually award it.
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Hover over the bounty award, it should show you who awarded the bounty.
I think the best location for names of bounty assignment would be as part of revision history. The only other reasonable place is in the tooltip. However, while separate bounties on one post are recorded separately, the tooltip will only show the combined total. See the research by Jon and myself here, and a related feature request for improving the tooltip.
Adding names (which can be long, and numerous) will make the tooltip potentially unwieldy. Comparatively, attaching it to a revision history event, in which each individual bounty can be isolated, will look cleaner. Also, the name of whoever gave a bounty isn't something that's immediately necessary knowledge, so it doesn't hurt it as much to require a click to determine. There's no other reasonable location to place this information, so revision history seems best.

Well, it's about time.
I've been wanting to start a blog for some time now, but for some reason or another I've been putting it off. Perhaps the biggest worry I've had is that I may not have anything interesting to say. However, after reading other random blogs I've come to realize that this is, in fact, not a requirement ;-).
The main thing that got me going, however, is that I will be at the Professional Developers Conference next week, and that, I'm sure, will be an event worth documenting. So, without further ado, here's my blog.

New to WP, just installed V1.5. I would like to play with design options using some of the available WP templates.(Not just the 2 included)
I am good with DW, good with html and somewhat familiar with CSS. Not at all familiar with PHP or blog code.
Is it possible to open template files in DW and do some customizing and be able to see the results in the design mode and if so, what exact files from WP need to be loaded in DW?
I prefer to experiment on my desktop with DW rather than playing with the live blog on my server. Multiple goofs are likely, no need to let the world watch.
Thanks for any help with this,

Wild Stallions
Troy Tinker sounds exasperated as he explains why the World Famous Lipizzaner Stallions Tour would be of interest to discerning hipsters. It's almost as if his horse sense was tingling, anticipating the question before it was asked.
"I know where this is going," says Tinker, the emcee of the show at America West Arena this weekend. "When you think about our show, it does sound boring, but people come back again and again because they're entertained. You've got to see our show to get it."
Things do appear a bit hokey, at first, as the all-white Lipizzaner stallions are led through "dressage" (a subtly guided series of choreographed maneuvers) by riders clad in cavalry costumes. The rare steeds also reenact the gravity-defying moves that made them the preferred choice of European nobility, both as war horses and status symbols (kind of like the Humvee of yesteryear).
The show is part history lesson, part equestrian ballet, where one particular showstopping move sees the horses gracefully leaping high into the air, kicking out their hind legs (called a "capriole") to the strains of Mozart.

Occasionally the script gets bucked, and Tinker fills in with comedy. "One time, this horse caught his image up in the big Jumbotron and couldn't take his eyes off of himself," he says. "So I made jokes until they could turn the cameras off."
Such preening is expected, as the pampered ponies have packed 'em in for 34 years. But unlike spoiled rock stars, they've never sent Tinker out into the night to score horse tranquilizers or hot-to-trot mares. In fact, this horse cock-blocking is enforced throughout the tour.
"We couldn't have a mare at the show with us because then we'd have a ticket hotter than the WWE," says Tinker. "Those boys would definitely fight it out to see who gets the girl."
Now that would make things edgy. The ponies play as the World Famous Lipizzaner Stallions trot into America West Arena, 201 East Jefferson, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, August 14, and 2 p.m. Sunday, August 15. Tickets are $19.50 to $26.50. Call 480-784-4444 or see www.ticketmaster.com.

None Dare Call It…
Wasn't this high treason when Rep. Murtha suggested a few weeks ago?
Just days after Iraq's elections, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld on Friday announced the first of what is likely to be a series of U.S. combat troop drawdowns in Iraq in 2006.
I guess we can go ahead and start drawing down our troop levels now, since the recent election in Iraq was a big success and peace is breaking out all overbut wait, this just in:
Large demonstrations broke out across [Iraq] Friday to denounce parliamentary elections that protesters say were rigged in favor of the main religious Shiite coalition…. Several hundred thousand people demonstrated after noon prayers in southern Baghdad Friday, many carrying banners decrying last week's elections. Many Iraqis outside the religious Shiite coalition allege that the elections were unfair to smaller Sunni Arab and secular Shiite groups.
"We refuse the cheating and forgery in the elections," one banner read.
Excuse me, but if cheating and forgery good enough for Florida and Ohio, then they're good enough for Iraq too.

Gov. Christie: President Obama 'kept every promise' on storm aid
Mel Evans, Associated Press
HIGHLANDS, N.J. — Gov. Chris Christie said Monday that President Barack Obama "has kept every promise he's made" about helping the state recover from Superstorm Sandy.
Hours later, Obama's housing secretary approved New Jersey's plans to spend $1.83 billion in federal money to help the state rebuild and recover from the storm.
Speaking on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program six months after the deadly storm, the Republican governor said presidential politics were the last thing on his mind as he toured storm-devastated areas with Obama last fall.
When it comes to helping New Jersey rebuild from the storm, "the president has kept every promise he's made," said Christie, widely considered a potential candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016. "I think he's done a good job. He kept his word."
His comments came in response to a question about whether he had any regrets about his warm embrace of Obama after the storm, which angered some Republicans, who said it helped tip a close presidential election. Christie had endorsed and campaigned for Republican Mitt Romney.
The governor said he and Obama have fundamentally different views on governing. But he said the two men did what needed to be done for a devastated region.
"I've got a job to do," he said. "You wake up and 7 million of your 8.8 million citizens are out of power, you're not thinking about presidential politics."
Christie challenged his critics to put themselves in his shoes while dealing with the massive storm, predicting none of them would have done anything differently.
"I have a 95 percent level of disagreement with Barack Obama," Christie said. But that did not come into play while dealing with the storm.
"We saw suffering together," Christie said. "Everything the president promised me they'd do, they've done. I don't have any complaint this morning on the issue of disaster relief."
Sandy destroyed about 360,000 homes or apartment units in New Jersey, and some areas along the shore are still devastated.
Later Monday, U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan appeared with Christie at a press conference and announced federal approval of New Jersey's plans to spend more than $1.8 billion in federal grants on storm rebuilding and recovery.
"Today is the beginning of us getting to phase two of return to normalcy," Christie said. "For the overwhelming majority of New Jerseyans, their life is back to normal. For those who have not been able to leave it behind, I can still see the emotion on their faces, the sense of loss they still carry close to the surface. We are not here today to take a victory lap."
Congress approved more than $60 billion in Sandy relief funds, most of it for New Jersey and New York, despite opposition from many Congressional Republicans who voiced concerns over how some of it would be spent.
At a press conference at a popular seafood restaurant, where reporters and cameramen were pressed up against diners, Christie said it has been easy to work with Donovan on Sandy recovery.
"There's an old joke, right? Someone from the government comes into town and they say, 'I'm from Washington and I'm here to help' and everybody starts to laugh," Christie said. "Shaun Donovan is ruining that joke for me."
Donovan returned the compliment, praising the Republican governor "for his remarkable and relentless leadership in helping this town, this shore and this state recover from one of the toughest blows it has ever endured."
This is the first round of disaster relief money to be allocated. Two more rounds of block grants are expected later.
The grants will be focused in the nine counties with the worst damage from the storm. The first round of grants will help an estimated 26,000 homeowners with their primary residences, 5,000 renters and 10,000 small businesses, in addition to local governments.
The programs the Republican governor wants to implement — offering grants to rebuild damaged homes, no-interest loans for small businesses and giving landlords cash incentives to repair homes and rent them — are standard for states receiving federal assistance after natural disasters. Some areas where the state says there are problems, such as repairing infrastructure and restoring the fishing industry, are not included in the plan. An expanded home buyback program for people living in flood-prone neighborhoods will be included in a later funding application.
The plan submitted to HUD includes $825 million for elevation and reconstruction of damaged primary residences; $255 million for displaced renters whose primary residences were damaged by the storm; and $300 million in small business grants. A $25 million allocation to promote storm-impacted shore communities is also included, as is $50 million to help municipalities continue to provide essential services without increasing taxes. Developers of public housing could see $104.5 million in zero- and low-interest loans of up to $120,000 per unit to create new permanent housing

I've had a really strange thing happen and I REALLY need a fix. I was running the beta tester plugin because the new site I was working on REALLY needed the custom menus available in 3.0 beta. Once the version launched out of beta I uninstalled the beta testing plugin (WEEKS ago).
Today I got an update notice and updated only to discover the update was 3.1 beta with wp-admin tool bar. Ugh! This SO screws with things bigtime.
Why am I getting installs of betas when the beta tester plugin has been uninstalled?

Tried to find the least douchey picture of Trey possible, the above is the end result, "We Love Money" t-shirt and all. Anyway, gotta preface that Trey's LP did not review well over here. HOWEVER, why is it that Trey can get on other peoples beats and kill it? Kinda digging his take on Gucci's "Lemonade" – might also have something to do with the fact that this version doesn't have a bunch of little kids on it. Bad call, Gooch.
UPDATE: Trigga starts Sunday morning off with his rethinking of Usher's hottest-in-the-hood sexy shit. Again, Trey sounding better doing other people's songs than he does his own. Maybe he just needs some better songwriters?

'We never forgot each other': College sweethearts finally wed - 52 years after breaking up
A couple, who dated at college but spent 52 years apart, have told how they reconnected and finally tied the knot this weekend.
Emilie Danielson, 70, and Terry Britton, 69, from Santa Ana, California, first met each other as freshman at Chapman University in 1960, but after a two-year romance they lost touch.
Danielson went on to marry someone else, and Britton spent time overseas serving in the Vietnam War.
Enduring love: Emilie Danielson and Terry Britton, from Santa Ana, California, who dated in college (left) but spent 52 years apart, finally tied the knot this weekend (right)
He told ABC News: 'We went on different paths because of life. That's how life happens.'
However the couple's families kept in touch, and Britton's mother continued to send Danielson Christmas cards.
One year Danielson was shocked to receive a letter from her ex-boyfriend's mother, explaining how her son had always wanted to be with her.
But because at the time she was married, she didn't take any action.
Sealing the deal: Danielson and Britton first met each other as freshmen at Chapman University in 1960
The look of love: Wedding photographer Jon C. Haverstick described that Terry and Emilie's 'affection for each other is so obvious'
Britton's parents eventually passed away, and he temporarily moved to back to his family home in Arkansas to sort out business.
Danielson said that she didn't know about what had happened, so she sent a Christmas card as per usual, with a photograph of herself with her family.
'We had friends in the wedding that we knew in college... It was like a fairy tale come true'
As fate would have it, Britton received her mail, making it the first time he had laid his eyes on his college sweetheart in more than five decades.
He decided to send a letter back to Danielson, telling her that his parents had passed away and that he would love to see her again.
They started talking over the telephone, reminiscing about their University days, and after several months Britton made his feelings clear.
Danielson, who was widowed twice, recalled: 'He said "I want to marry you, but I think I should see you after 50 years.
Spot the difference: The wedding invite featured a picture of the couple as college sweethearts in the Sixties, and one of them today
'He said "I'm afraid I don't look the same way I looked when I was 17." He wanted to move back to California and us to be married.'
On June 10, this year Danielson visited Britton in Arkansas and they soon went about setting a wedding date.
'We never forgot each other,' Britton added.
The pair, who now live in Santa Ana, California, married at the Waverly Chapel on Sunday.
Fairytale ending: Danielson said her wedding day was 'beyond our wildest dreams'
Reunion: A host of college friends and family attended the wedding
Their wedding invite featured a picture of them as college sweethearts, next to photograph of them today.
Describing the day Danielson said: 'It's beyond our wildest dreams. We had friends in the wedding that we knew in college. It was like a fairy tale come true.'
Wedding photographer Jon C. Haverstick said: 'Terry and Emilie are two of the most wonderful folks you'll ever have a chance to know.
Finishing touches: Emilie Danielson applies her make-up before getting dressed for her big day
Perfect setting: The pair, who now live in Santa Ana, California, married at the Waverly Chapel on Sunday
'They were truly a joy to work with. Their affection for each other is so obvious, and just overflows to everyone around them.'
The newlyweds left today for a honeymoon in Laguna Beach, California. They will return to host a Thanksgiving dinner for Danielson's three children and seven grandchildren.
Talking about the sequence of events Danielson added: 'It's a god thing. There was some divine intervention in there. He's the only being that could have ever put this together after all these years.'

List of Pokémon by anime debut
This is a list of Pokémon by the anime episode they debuted in. Please note that Bulbapedia considers the movies, Pikachu shorts, and side stories to be separate from the main anime, regardless of their canonicity, and therefore Pokémon like Arceus, which have not yet appeared in an episode, do not have an episode listed.
List of Pokémon by anime debut
- Porygon2 and Porygon-Z are unlikely to make major anime appearances as a result of the EP038 incident; they appeared only in a cameo in the opening of Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice. Aside from them, all Pokémon from Generation VI and earlier have had a major appearance in either an episode or a movie.

Nineteen homes have sold there in the past 6 months. The average sales price is $246,155. Average Days on Market (DOM) for these properties is 88 days. That's in line with the norm for the Dallas area. Of the 19 sales, only 2 were home owners, the rest were builder sales. It's very true what everyone's saying here about being in competition with the builder. I have a new home sales background and understand the dynamics of buying in a new home community extensively.
For one of the owner homes, they only discounted by about $1,500 on a $150,000 home and sold in 47 days. The other was around a $350,000 home and they discounted about $10,000 to sell it and sold it in 139 days. The builders have knocked down some of the prices by more than $30,000, so if you're considering moving to this community, you'll want to think about living there at least as long as the builders have built out the neighborhood. It's still holding at $125.59 per square foot.
Please take a look at my blog for some of the concerns other home buyers have run into when purchasing from a new home community. We would love to help you with your new home purchase in Frisco if you aren't already working with someone.
Steve and Mary's answer is right on target. When considering a home in any subdivision that is still developing, resale homes will always be competing with the builders. Builders are focused on cash flow and keeping their machine running so they will always undercut their own previous sales to stay in business during the tougher times.
You might consider Heritage Ranch in Fairview. Heritage Ranch is an active adult, 55+ community with a 24-hour guarded gate entrance, scenic ponds, wooded trails and natural creeks lined with century old trees. Heritage Ranch Golf Club, an Arthur Hills designed 18-hole championship golf course with rolling hills and a signature hole with a breathtaking natural limestone waterfall is the backdrop for this community. The 24,000 square foot luxury Country Club has an outdoor swimming pool, indoor pool with heated spa, 4 tennis courts, restaurant and lounge, business center, library, billiards, state of the art fitness center, arts and crafts room, performing arts theater and banquet facilities.
There are currently 25 homes on the market with prices ranging from the $159,000 to the $599,000. In looking at resale in the community, 25 homes have sold in the last six months. Homes averaged 165 days on the market in Heritage Ranch where the builders have closed out their construction. While the average days on the market is longer than the average of 146 for the entire Fairview area, it is more a reflection of the
limited number of buyers for an active adult community and current market conditions.

Police arrest Hendersonville man in Carter murder case
Published: Thursday, August 5, 2010 at 8:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 5, 2010 at 8:43 p.m.
The Henderson County Sheriff's Office has arrested 37-year-old Jermaine Deprie Glover for the murder of Misty Lynn Carter.
Glover was arrested and booked into the Henderson County Detention Center, where he is being held with no bond. He will have a first appearance in Henderson County District Court Friday.
Carter's body was found at 6:32 a.m. Oct. 19, 2009 near mile marker 395 on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Buncombe County.
Sheriff's investigators, along with an extensive collaborative effort with the Buncombe County Sheriff's Office and the State Bureau of Investigation, have linked Glover, Carter's boyfriend, to the murder, Capt. Steve Carter said in a press release issued tonight.
Carter was killed by blunt force trauma to the head. Carter was six weeks pregnant and unclothed when a driver spotted her on the side of the parkway.
Glover and Carter lived at 52 Piney Ridge Court in Hendersonville, the release says.
There will be no other details released regarding the specifics to the murder investigation, Capt. Carter says in the release.
Investigators said in July that they suspected foul play. Henderson County Sheriff's Office Capt. Jerry Rice also confirmed in July that investigators have a person of interest, but no charges have been filed.
Rice said then the Sheriff's Office was waiting on lab results to proceed with the case.

Gundam Ez8 by bluegender1Watch
©2012-2016 bluegender1
This is the RX-79(G) EZ8 from MSG: The 08th Ms Team and is piloted by Shiro Amada, who happens to be one of my favorite characters in the series. It didn't quite come out like I wanted because I had to fight with my scanner, but it'll do
I like the Ez8 for being so darn realistic; They basically threw it together out of spare parts, and it doesn't have a classic V fin for that. 8th MS Team in general is a very nice concept for me. I like this drawing, too, nice, defined lineart and solid work on the shading. Props, bro!
I liked 08th MS Team for the same reasons, the mobile suits actually seemed like machines and not superheroes. Thanks for the compliments, I appreciate it
Did you use pens? if so what kind? I use serpia.
I used a mechanical pencil with .05 lead, I suck at drawing with a pen
intresting, I use mech pencil all the time, but I smuge the heck outa drawings, if you seen some of my work youll see it XD
I love it! it's like halfway between SD and "normal" and everything is so clean O_O
Chest and head looks a bit too big compared to other parts, but I liked the details .
Thanks! and I noticed that after I Uploaded it, it's starting to bug me lol.
I plan on doing another ez8 soon though and without the huge head

I get abc, nbc, cbs, fox, pbs, ion, and a couple other channels. Also you must check to find out what channels your location picks up. http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/maps/ I'm pretty happy with my choice, since it is a one-time expense and avoids being put over a barrel by the satellite/cable companies.

Citi PC + CLI[ Edited ]
09-04-2012 08:06 PM - edited 09-04-2012 08:08 PM
I called to see about PCing my Citi Platinum Select card to the Forward so I can start earning rewards for restaurants (btw, great advice guys!!). I called the retention number and got an amazingly joyful CSR! I couldnt upgrade to the Forward because it wasnt availble for some reason, but I was able to upgrade to the Thank You card. The reward points are seriously lacking and aren't that great, but at least Im earning something! Plus, I get to keep my 0% APR till Oct 2013 Oh, and to top it off, Citi gave me a CLI of $750! The luv denied I was denied by Cap1 has been vastly made up by Citi
Edit: CSR did say I can PC my card as many times as I want as long as my credit worthiness stays intact; so, the Forward may be in my near future
Goal: 750+ on all
Current Cards: Cap1 Cash Back; Chase Freedom; Chase Amazon; Citi Thank You; Citi Forward; Discover iT; Amex Zync; GE WalMart; BoA 3-2-1

My mother recently committed suicide. My father died seven years ago of cancer. I'm 34 years old, and I am seen by my two sisters as the f-up brother. I can honestly say that I can totally relate to this film.
Laura Linney is dead-on as a sister who is trying to live a "normal" life; work at the bank, pick up the son in her SUV, and believe in God, about 15 years after the sudden tragic death of her parents. Her brother is immature, unreliable, can't hold a job, and smokes an awful lot of pot. She is the "caretaker" in the sibling relationship. But, as the film unveils, she certainly can't take care of herself. And the f-up brother isn't as worthless and stupid and selfish as he is supposed to be.
This is a real film about real people dealing with the extrodinarily frustrating and painful task of carrying on after a tragic family loss. And they go on. They continue, the best they can.
There is dysfunction and then there is dysfunction. Some of us know what a real dysfunctional family is. And we're not whiners. We're heroes. And this film is for us.
Words such as "masterpiece" and "genius" are incredibly overused these days, but I'm prepared to make the following statement: The screenplay is a masterpiece and Mark Ruffalo is a genius. (And Laura Linney, bless your soul, you are a damn fine actress.) Let me take a quick crack at supporting this statement, so that you can get on with the business of watching this movie instead of reading my review.
1. THE EDITING: Lonnergan's orginal screenplay chalked up 125 pages, which translates into roughly 125 minutes screen time. AFTER the final edit, Lonnergan RETYPED the screenplay (only a devoted writer and parent would do such a thing) and it yielded 95 pages. Now anyone who has written anything at all can tell you THIS IS SOME MAJOR CUTTING. And for the viewer it means a TIGHT, DIRECT, and WONDERFULLY VISUAL movie. To see what the hell I'm talking about, just check out the crash scene at the beginning of the film and specifically the moment when the policeman struggles to get a word out on the front porch. CUT!! You don't need to see anymore. Lonnergan trusts the audience to put the pieces together and the film moves on. It was at this very early point in the film when I saw it at the theater that I sensed the brilliance to come. And was not let down. You can probably find 20 moments where the scene ends EXACTLY WHERE IT NEEDS TO. (A comparable film in this respect is "Days of Heaven.")
2. BELIEVABLE CHARACTERS. That means complex characters. Characters who are not ALL GOOD or ALL BAD. Characters who behave in predictable and sometimes highly unpredictable ways, much like you and me.
3. SUPERB ACTING. You just don't see such nuanced performances like this every day.Read more ›
Laura Linney plays Sammy, a single mother and bank employee. When her troubled brother Terry (Mark Ruffalo) returns to town, Sammy's life and relationship with her young son (Rory Culkin) become complicated by Terry's influence. Sammy has to juggle this domestic situation with controversy at work, where her anal-retentive boss (Matthew Broderick) is making lives miserable.
The story sounds simple, but Lonergan's intelligent script really brings us into the lives of these characters. And the performances truly make this film worth seeing. Linney carries the lead role with passionate grace, and has great chemistry with her screen brother Ruffalo. Broderick delivers a wonderfully multilayered performance as a character who is at times pathetic, at times sympathetic, and at times downright infuriating. And Culkin is a revelation as the young son; this is one of the best performances by a child actor that I have ever seen.
"You Can Count on Me" deals insightfully with a number of relationships: mother/son, brother/sister, boss/employee, pastor/churchgoer, and more. Lonergan deftly blends moments of both heartbreak and hilarity into a richly satisfying whole. If you want to see a serious adult drama with some sparkling comic moments, check out this film--it's one of the year's best.
The key relationship here is between a brother and a sister. Orphaned as children, they've grown up counting on each other. Now they are in their thirties. The sister, Laura Linney, is a single mother of an 8-year-old boy, played by Rory Culkin. She works in a bank in their hometown in Upstate New York, and has made arrangements with her boss to use part of her lunch hour time to pick up her child from school and bring him to a baby sitter. The brother, played by Mark Ruffalo, has left home years before. He's a drifter who always needs money, impulsive and boyish and loveable all at the same time. His young nephew adores him, especially when he takes him to a pool hall one night.
The sister has stuff to contend with. There's a new branch manager Matthew Broderick, where she works, the kind of idiot boss who forces the staff to refrain from using bright colors on their computer screens because it doesn't represent the dignity of a bank. There's her son wanting to know more about his real father than she wants to tell him. And there's a marriage proposal from her long-term boring boyfriend. The brother's arrival is a catalyst for turmoil.Read more ›

This place is so good and the food so deliciously inventive, I'm not sure I'm qualified to write a review, though I will give it my best shot.
On a visit to Houston my host made reservations at Uchi. Having dined at the restaurant before, my dining companions said the best way to order would be to let the server decide what to bring. What an experience (sorry, exclamation mark required)!
The food orgy began. I think we had just a little of everything, both hot and cold. We started with Brussels sprouts - outside of dessert, this was the one request we made of the server. For me, these were unexpected at a sushi restaurant, but a completely delicious way to start the meal. From there it was a whirlwind of food, probably 11 or 12 dishes, a couple of cold items and then a hot item, then back to cold. I believe our hot items were duck, pork belly, tuna and wagyu beef - all cooked perfectly. The one item I didn't "get" was the salad, which came near the end of our meal - I didn't love the dressing or the timing. The salad was but a blip on an otherwise perfect meal.
Next was dessert. The three of us couldn't decide on dessert, so we decided to order one-each and share. They were all delicious and inventive - fried milk, lemon sorbet and the dessert of the night, which I believe was chocolate (something mousse-like) with orange. The fried milk was my choice and it did not disappoint. Little crunchy pillows that, when pierced, had a sweet, creamy center. So, so unbelievably good.
Our server was spot-on with her timing and her suggestions. The rest of the staff was on pointe. The décor was warm and inviting (though we did sit under an ac vent, and whenever it fired up it was a bit cold for late November).
Will I go back? Already looking at booking a flight so we can bring my husband along next time. Can't wait!

Bobby Cox
Cox was a longtime minor league infielder who finally earned a look from the Yankees in the late 1960s. In 628 career at-bats, he hit .225 with nine homers. After he was released, he got into coaching and managing in the minors, in the Yankee organization. He also did some scouting, advance scouting, and player development.
As manager of the Blue Jays, and later managing the Atlanta Braves, Bobby Cox set a record for most division titles won. Through 2005, his Braves had won a remarkable 14 consecutive division titles, and he earned one with Toronto in 1985. During his years in Atlanta, the Braves won five pennants and a World Series crown in 1995. Cox's teams, often built on power and pitching, won at least 100 games six times, but were disappointing in the post-season, losing 10 of 21 playoff series, and posting a 1-4 mark in the Fall Classic. Despite his Autumn failures, Cox had been named manager of the year four times through 2005, when he won his 1,700th game. The Atlanta Braves have since retired the number 6 in commemoration of Bobby Cox. He led the Atlanta Braves to the World Series championship in 1995. He holds the all-time record for ejections in Major League Baseball with 158 (plus an additional three post-season ejections), a record previously held by John McGraw.
He ranks fourth on the Baseball All-time Managerial Wins list with 2,554.
Playing career
As a player, Cox originally signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but was never able to make the Dodgers' major league team. Eventually he was acquired by the Braves, but never appeared in an MLB game for them either. Instead, he was traded to the New York Yankees on December 7, 1967. Cox played two seasons, mostly at third base, for the Yankees. Because of bad knees, Cox became the second in a string of four stopgap players between Clete Boyer and Graig Nettles. He played with fellow Oklahoman Mickey Mantle during Mantle's final season in 1968 and with Thurman Munson during his debut season in 1969.
Managerial career
New York Yankees farm system
Cox began his managerial career in the Yankees farm system in 1971. In 1976, he led the Syracuse Chiefs to the Governor's Cup title. This team featured such future major leaguers as Ron Guidry, Mickey Klutts, Terry Whitfield and Juan Bernhardt. Overall, Cox had a highly successful six-year tenure as a minor league manager, compiling a record of 459 wins and 387 defeats (.543) with two league championships. He then spent the 1977 season as the first base coach on Billy Martin's staff with the World Series-winning Yankees before beginning his MLB managerial career.
Atlanta Braves (1978–1981)
Cox replaced Dave Bristol as the manager of the Atlanta Braves prior to the 1978 season, inheriting a team that had finished last in the league during the previous two seasons and had compiled a worse record than the two expansion teams, Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners, in 1977. Building from the ground up, the Braves finished last in both 1978 and 1979. Entering 1980, Cox made one of the unusual moves for which he is known, moving power-hitting first baseman-catcher Dale Murphy, who had developed a throwing block as a catcher that hindered his ability to play, to center field. Murphy later won two National League Most Valuable Player Awards and five Gold Gloves, and became one of the premier players of the 1980s. In 1980, the Braves finished fourth with their first record above .500 since 1972. However, Cox was undone by the 1981 baseball strike when the Braves finished fifth and owner Ted Turner fired him. Asked at a press conference who was on his short list for manager, Turner replied, "It would be Bobby Cox if I hadn't just fired him. We need someone like him around here." The Braves won the National League West division title in 1982 and finished second in both 1983 and 1984 under Cox's successor Joe Torre.
Toronto Blue Jays (1982–1985)
Cox joined the Toronto Blue Jays in 1982, who steadily improved over the four years of his management. In 1985, Cox's fourth season with the club, the Blue Jays finished in first place in the American League East. That season, the American League Championship Series was expanded to a best-of-seven format after sixteen seasons of a best-of-five format. This change ultimately made the difference when Cox's Blue Jays became only the fifth team to lose a playoff series after leading 3 games to 1 to the Kansas City Royals.
Atlanta Braves (1986–2010)
General Manager
After the Blue Jays' elimination, Cox returned to the Braves as general manager. After going through two managers over the course of less than five years with disastrous results in attendance and outlook, Cox fired Russ Nixon in June 1990, and appointed himself as the manager. Cox had spent the prior four seasons accumulating talented players, including Ron Gant, Tom Glavine, Steve Avery, Pete Smith, and David Justice. He was also responsible for drafting Chipper Jones with the first overall pick in the 1990 draft.
In 1991, the Braves, along with the Minnesota Twins, became the first teams to go from last place in one season to first place the next. The two teams met in the 1991 World Series, which the Twins won in seven games. It was the second World Series in which the home team won every game. The first was in 1987 when the Twins defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games.
In 1992, Cox's Braves held a 3–1 lead in the National League Championship Series against the Pittsburgh Pirates before losing games 5 and 6, although they did win Game 7 on Francisco Cabrera's ninth-inning, two-out, pinch-hit, two-run single. They went on to lose the World Series to the Toronto Blue Jays. In 1993, the Braves had the best record in baseball after a pennant race where they overcame a ten-game deficit in August to beat the San Francisco Giants. By going 51–17 over the last two and a half months of the season, they won the division by a game. However, they lost the National League Championship Series in six games to the Philadelphia Phillies.
In 1995, the Atlanta Braves won Cox's only World Series championship, over the Cleveland Indians. Their division title in 1995 marked the first time since 1989 that neither the Philadelphia Phillies, nor the Pittsburgh Pirates, won the National League East.
In 1996, the Braves again won the division title. After sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the division series, the Braves' pitching fell behind the St. Louis Cardinals, three games to one in the 1996. Facing elimination, the Braves offense outscored the Cardinals 33–1 over the final three games and won the pennant. Cox became the only manager in history to lose a series leading three games to one and win a series trailing three games to one. The scoring continued into the first two games against the New York Yankees as the Braves took a two games to none lead by winning with scores of 12–1 and 4–0 in the World Series. In game four, the Braves led 6–0 in the fourth inning, but the Yankees came from behind. Jim Leyritz homered to tie the game, and the Yankees tied the series with a win in 11 innings, 8–6. The Yankees would ultimately win in 6 games.
The Braves lost to the Florida Marlins in the 1997 NLCS and the San Diego Padres in the 1998 NLCS. The Braves made it back to the World Series in 1999, but lost to the defending World Series Champion New York Yankees in four straight games. Cox's 2001 team won the division title and upset the favored Houston Astros in three straight games in the division series. However, the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Braves in five games in the NLCS.
One of Cox's memorable games as manager of the Braves during this period came on September 21, 2001, when they played rival New York Mets in the first major professional sporting event played in New York City since the 9/11.
Cox's Braves did not advance past the first round of the playoffs in any of their last five appearances. In 2002, the Braves won more than 100 games and led the wild card San Francisco Giants two games to one before dropping the last two. In 2003, the Braves pushed the Chicago Cubs to the fifth game before falling. The following year, the Braves lost in the best-of-five Division Series for the third straight year. In 2005, the Braves lost to the Houston Astros, with the finale taking eighteen innings to decide in the 2005 NLDS. On September 23, 2009, Cox signed a one-year contract extension through 2010, and on the same day announced that 2010 will be his final year as manager. He also announced that he agreed to stay on as an advisor for team baseball operations for the next five years after he retires. On October 2, 2010, the Atlanta Braves honored Bobby Cox at Turner Field in a sold-out game. On October 3, 2010, Cox led the Braves to a 8-7 win over the Phillies and clinched both his and the Braves' first Wild Card. His final game was on October 11, 2010, when the Braves were eliminated by the San Francisco Giants in Game 4 of the National League Division Series. He was given a standing ovation by the crowd and both teams immediately following the game.
Cox has been named Manager of the Year four times (1985, 1991, 2004, 2005) and is one of only four managers to have won the award in both the American and National League. He is also the only person to have won the award in consecutive years. Cox has also been named Manager of the Year by The Sporting News eight times (1985, 1991, 1993, 1999, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005).
On May 12, 2007, Cox passed Sparky Anderson to become the fourth-winningest manager in major league history, with a record of 2,195 wins and 1,698 losses. He led the Braves to a division title every season from 1991 to 2005, excluding the strike-shortened 1994 season; the Braves have competed in the National League East since 1994 and competed in the National League West prior to that. He won a World Series Championship in 1995. In 2001, he took sole possession of first place for most wins as a manager in Braves history. Cox's .561 winning percentage is fourteenth in all-time among managers with at least 1,000 games managed, and is the second highest among those who managed the majority of their career after the creation of divisions within each league in 1969. On June 8, 2009, Cox won his 2,000th game with the Atlanta Braves, becoming only the fourth manager in Major League history to accomplish that feat with one team. Cox reached career win number 2,500 on September 25, 2010, becoming only the fourth manager in Major League history to do so.
Bobby Cox following an ejection from a game in September 2009.
On September 17, 2010, Cox was ejected for the 158th time in his Major League coaching career during the second inning of a Braves game against the New York Mets; he currently holds the all-time record for most ejections (set on August 14, 2007 with his 132nd), previously held by John McGraw. By a strange twist of fate, his first ejection happened when manager of the Braves in a game against the Mets, on May 1, 1978. Unlike McGraw, Cox did not have a reputation for having a fiery temper and Cox generally only got ejected to prevent his players from being ejected. In the 156 games that Bobby Cox was ejected, his teams had a winning percentage of .385. In a July 2006 game, Cox was unable to save outfielder Jeff Francoeur from ejection; speaking with Atlanta Journal-Constitution beat writer David O'Brien, Francoeur recounted his manager's advice after both men had been sent to the Braves clubhouse:
"I'm like, 'What do I do?' He said, 'Go have a couple cold beers and get in the cold tub or something and relax. And then you'll probably have to write a $500 check. Or you can do what I do, write a $10,000 one and tell them when it runs out, let me know'."
Cox is also the only person among all players and managers to be ejected from two World Series games (1992 and 1996). He was ejected in the ninth inning of game three of the 1992 World Series for throwing a batting helmet onto the field at the Skydome. Cox was trying to slam the helmet against the lip of the dugout and missed, throwing it onto the field. Cox was tossed again in the final game of the 1996 World Series after protesting an out call of Marquis Grissom attempting to take second base on a passed ball. Although video replays appeared to show Grissom as safe, umpire Terry Tata called him out, and Cox was tossed in an ensuing argument.
On August 12, 2011 a luncheon was held by the Braves, and Cox was inducted into the Atlanta Braves Hall of Fame and his number six jersey was retired. Afterward, an on-field ceremony was held that recognized the long-time Braves manager prior to the scheduled game versus the Chicago Cubs.
Cox will become eligible for induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014, the next induction class in which post-1972 managers can be considered.
Domestic abuse charges
In May 1995, police were called to the home of Bobby and Pamela Cox in northwest Atlanta, Georgia. Pamela Cox told the police that her husband struck her. Bobby Cox was charged under Georgia's Domestic Violence Act with simple battery. He was accused of punching his wife and pulling her hair. In a court settlement, Pamela Cox was instructed by the judge to attend a battered women's program and Bobby Cox was told to complete violence counseling and an alcohol evaluation. The criminal charges against Bobby Cox were dismissed, and he was not punished by Major League Baseball or the Atlanta Braves for the incident.

Dulac native announces Parish Council bid
Published: Saturday, March 12, 2011 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 11, 2011 at 11:13 p.m.
HOUMA — Another candidate has announced his intent to run for the seat now held by veteran politician Clayton Voisin.
Nathan Trosclair, 51, will seek the District 7 seat, which represents Bayou Black, Dularge, Theriot, Grand Caillou and Dulac. Tim Fanguy, owner of Tim's Bail Bonds on Grand Caillou Road, has also announced his candidacy.
Voisin, nearing the end of his third consecutive four-year term as the District 7 representative, is not eligible to run for his Parish Council seat. Voisin has said he will challenge incumbent Michel Claudet for parish president.
Both elections are set for Oct. 22, with runoffs, if needed, set for Nov. 19. Candidates will sign up Sept. 6-8.
"We need someone in office who will address all the issues critical to District 7," Trosclair said. "We need levees, hurricane protection and coastal restoration, and I would be very aggressive in trying to get these things funded and in place."
This is Trosclair's second run for Parish Council. He also ran in the 2007 Parish Council election, when he was defeated by Voisin. He also ran for state senate in 2003, losing to then Sen. Reggie Dupre, D-Bourg.
A lifelong resident of Dulac, Trosclair said he's had to sweep mud out of his house after floods and hurricanes. The frequent flooding prompted him to elevate his home, and he's watched coastal-erosion change the land around him.
Trosclair described himself as a leader with a mellow personality. He said his ability to keep a cool head will allow him to work well with parish administrators.
"You have to build coalitions and work with people to get things accomplished for your district," he said.
As a council member, Trosclair said he would also "focus on cutting the waste and addressing the more critical areas of the parish."
He also said he plans to push for expansion of the municipal sewage system, which is not currently available to all residents.
Trosclair is a graduate of South Terrebonne High School and has completed four years of undergraduate work at Nicholls State University, though he has not yet earned his degree. He said he plans to finish his degree.
He's active at Holy Family Church in Dulac, where he's taught catechism classes and formerly sat on the Pastoral Council. He's also a third degree Knight of Columbus.
Trosclair works as an insurance agent for Security Plan Life Insurance Co. in Houma. He's been selling insurance for three years.
He previously worked for Catholic Social Services as a disaster-assistance case manager after hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Prior to that, Trosclair said he was employed in a variety of fields, including oilfield-related jobs and shrimping, crabbing and oystering with his father, a commercial fishermen.

Stunning picture of the cortege as it approaches St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle. The soldiers lined the streets right until the steps of St. George's and the Marines mechanically pulled the gun carriage with the King's coffin. The vivid colours of the Royal Standard sharply contrasted with the dark colours of the uniforms and made the attention focus on it during the day. Behind the gun carriage comes a Windsor landau which carried HM Queen Elizabeth II, HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, HRH Princess Margaret and HRH the Princess Royal and, behind, the long cortege of royalty and statesmen.
Dramatic picture as the coffin, followed closely by the two Queens and the two Princesses, goes up the staircase of St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle. The staircase was lined with flowers left by dignitaries and the public. On the Government's wreath it was possible to read Sir Winston Churchill's handwritten tribute: "In loyal and affectionate memory of their august Sovereign King George VI, the royal founder of the George Cross, with humble duty from Her Majesty's Government". The flowers, as does George's Cross, designed the words "For Gallantry".
The cortege enters St. George's Chapel. It is clearly possible to see the Crown Jewels above the King's coffin, as well as Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother's wreath, of white orchids, lilies and carnations, which read "For darling Bertie, from his always loving Elizabeth". Behind the two Queens and Princesses, the four royal dukes and the foreign kings are easily recognizable.
Amidst the historic walls of St. George's and the regal banners of the Knights of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, the King's coffin was placed in the catafalque, which stood over an elevator conducting directly to the Royal Crypt. The members of the Royal Family stood during the short service, in the Quire. In the picture, the Royal Standard and the Crown Jewels had already been taken from the coffin, in preparation of the burial.
The final pictures of a historic day. In the splendour of the royal chapel, the King's coffin dramatically disappeared from everyone's sight and the new Queen came forward for some seconds. Simultaneously, the Garter King of Arms, in his magnificent tunic, cried loudly: "God Save the Queen!" It was the beginning of a new Elizabethan Era.

What do you say when the shiny-chopped chap seated next to you at lunch opens the conversation with: "My wife is Lady-in-Waiting to Princess Michael of Kent"?
There's only one response: "You must be Julian Fellowes." It isn't as though the 62-year-old creator of Downton Abbey hasn't been warned. Last week he was fingered as "the biggest snob in Britain", and with the second series of ITV's smash hit period drama arriving tonight, those critics of a certain persuasion – the ones Fellowes portrays as "socially insecure, Left-wing nitpickers" – are mustering for a new onslaught.
Downton tells of life at the fictional stately pile of the Earl and Countess of Grantham, but is heavily overlaid with the class attitudes of the Edwardian era. The look is lush and the dialogue clever, but it is Fellowes's sympathetic view of the aristocracy's treatment of the lower orders that has caused upset in the reliably liberal arts-and-media world.
"For all that Fellowes pays lip-service to the social revolution that will come with the Great War," sniffed the New Statesman, "his working-class characters say things like: 'Just because you're a lord, you think you can do what you like with me!' The script oozes nostalgic approval for the days when people not only knew the difference between an Earl and a Duke, but cared about it, too."
Fellowes makes no secret of either his big or small C conservatism. A lifelong Tory, he used to write speeches for Iain Duncan Smith, and earlier this year was elevated to the peerage by David Cameron. These achievements alone would make him something of a rarity in his profession, but it's the way that he trumpets his old-fashioned toffishness that really gets up his detractors' noses.
The lunch incident was reported by the veteran society columnist Taki, who wrote in The Spectator: "I burst out laughing, but in order not to be rude I said nothing. My first thought was, 'Is he bragging or complaining?'"
Quite possibly neither. Before he ascended to the title of Baron Fellowes of West Stafford, and became an habitué of St James's dining clubs, he spent three lost decades adrift in outer-showbiz darkness. He toiled as a minor character actor, playing the parts of vicars, colonels and hospital consultants in provincial rep or, if he was lucky, the West End, sensing all the time that even these parts were only coming his way because he was perceived as a caricature buffer.
Almost everyone else in the theatre was dangerously Left wing, the entire trade taking its cue from the likes of the Redgraves and Pinters, and even if few actors really were working class, it was wise to pass as such. "I didn't subscribe," Fellowes has said, "to the kind of romantic version of socialism. I found it bogus then, and I find it bogus now." Yet he suffered endlessly for the sin of being a Tory, and in the early 1980s, decided to abandon the struggle and head for Hollywood.
His thinking seems to have been that plummy-voiced English actors would always enjoy a certain cachet, and he wouldn't have to put up with agitprop lecturing and backstage whip-rounds for striking layabouts. But although he landed a small role as Lynda Carter's chauffeur in Rita Hayworth: The Love Goddess, after two years, lonely and disillusioned, he returned home.
The irony of Fellowes's career as a token toff is that, for most of it, he was broke. He recalls sleeping in rented rooms, "with damp coming through the walls", and says he delayed getting married because he couldn't afford to support a wife and family. If he crows a little too loudly now – as the husband of Lady Emma Kitchener, a descendant of Lord Kitchener of Khartoum – it is surely because his success is a sock in the eye for everyone who told him that the theatre wasn't the right place for his sort.
But what sort is he? He comes from a comfortable background, the son of a diplomat-turned-oil-company executive. Educated by monks at Ampleforth, from where he went to study English at Cambridge, he drifted into the theatre after a stint at the Footlights. "I wasn't handsome, titled or rich," he says. "I was always the man who was asked along because they were short, or because someone had dropped out, and I think that allows you to be some sort of fly on the wall."
It was in this way, thinks Fellowes, that he first developed a feeling for dialogue and character. His breakthough came when, in the mid-1980s, he decided to try his hand at writing.
His first 12 screenplays were rejected, and he struggled by doing sitcoms and a little acting, until, in the late 1990s, he was approached by the Hollywood director Robert Altman, who was toying with the idea of an English upper-class drama. Fellowes's brief was to produce a story "set in a country house in the 1930s, and to have a murder in there somewhere, but for it to really be an examination of class".
The result was Gosford Park, and its global success – $87 million grossed – catapulted the writer to unforseeable stardom. It also made Fellowes realise that just as the British are fascinated by class, so the rest of the world is fascinated by the British fascination with class. It has been a lucrative discovery.
The return of Downton will see a return of the critics who accuse him of glamorising snobbery. Fellowes isn't worried. "You could only represent it to their satisfaction," he says, "if everyone downstairs was writhing in a state of permanent torment while everyone upstairs was vicious, violent, horrible and dishonest. The idea that both groups were just trying to bash through their lives is alien to them."
