The Jewel Cases
Posted on 3 June 2010 by David Hitt
I've actually seen Jewel in concert once before.
I wrote recently about the fact that I'm going to Jewel's June 13 concert in Huntsville, and that I'll have backstage access as an official blogger for COUNTRY Financial/Cotton States' Road Trips and Guitar Picks tour program, which gets fans involved in the concerts — you can become a Roadie to be eligible for prizes, and there's a sweepstakes to win an all-expense-paid trip to one of the concerts.
This will be my second time to see Jewel in concert. The first was 13 years ago, during the Atlanta stop in the first Lilith Fair tour. (On a related note, not only am I about to see Jewel in concert again, I just bought my tickets today to Lilith Fair.)
The line-up for the 1997 Atlanta Lilith show was rather impressive — starting with then-current one-hit-wonder Abra Moore ("Four-Leaf Clover"), Susanna Hoffs of the Bangles, then-hot Fiona Apple, Joan Osborne, Emmylou Harris, Jewel and Sarah McLachlan.
The first three acts were lagniappe, but were fun. Joan Osborne and Emmylou Harris, I wish I were seeing now instead of then. They both put on great shows, but my musical tastes were still far too immature to really appreciate them. At that point, I still knew Joan Osborne solely from the "One Of Us" song, which is probably the least Joan Osborne-y song there is. I'm practically kicking myself over the great songs I must have just sat through waiting for her to play that. Emmylou Harris, I doubt I'd even heard of before Lilith Fair. Ah, the folly of youth.
And then, there was Sarah McLachlan and Jewel.
This being Lilith Fair, Sarah McLachlan was closing act. This being late 1997, Jewel was the superstar. To be honest, me being a huge Sarah McLachlan fan, I was more interested in hearing her, even if Jewel was the bigger name at the time. And, to be sure, Sarah didn't disappoint. She earned her place in the closing slot. Brilliant show.
But this post is about Jewel, right?
At the time of the concert, Jewel's first album, "Pieces Of You," had been out for a couple of years, though "Foolish Games" had peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 not terribly long before, so she was still very much a popular act. (Ah, Wikipedia, provider of great music history information. Did you know that "Pieces of You" was one of the best-selling debut albums ever?)
Point being, though, her debut album had been out long enough that she was already looking ahead to the future, and a decent amount of her concert was new material. Now, keep in mind, this was very early folksy ingenue Jewel, whose then-only album had a song with the lyrics, "So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive / And I'd like to stay that way." It was her, and she made it work, but it's hard to think of an artist more precious than Jewel at this point.
But that night, at Lilith Fair, she rocked. She did the "Pieces of You" hits, and they sounded like the "Pieces of You" hits. But she did a lot of songs I didn't know. And they rocked, awesomely and with a great rocking. At the time, I assumed they were material for her next album, but when Spirit came out, more than a year later, I didn't recognize any of them. Now, maybe they were on there, and it had been long enough that I didn't recognize them from the live version I'd heard. Maybe she was doing covers that young, musically immature me didn't recognize. Maybe they were songs she was working on and decided not to go with. I have no idea. All I know, was for that one night, Jewel put on a show that was great in the ways I'd expected, and great in totally unexpected ways as well.
Now, I'm certainly not going into this upcoming concert with that sort of expectation, but, I will admit, from having seen her before, I am kinda excited about seeing what she's going to do this time.

Nemadji - Wisconsin Point Burial site at St. Francis Cemetery still exposing remains
Category: Paul DeMain
By Paul DeMain
Superior, Wisconsin (ICTV)
In 1918 a developer was challenged by the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa when he attempted to develop a historic Ojibwe burial ground on Wisconsin Point near Superior, Wisconsin.
The challenge was met by the developer by digging up over a hundred burials and trucking them to a Catholic Cemetery site where the remains were dumped on the edge of a river bank where they remain today.
A walk-through of the site during April of 2009 shows that despite past complaints, the burial site is still eroding with bones being washed out down the hillside, and Catholic Cemetery workers using the same bluff as a site to dump tree trimmings and other junk from the their main cemetery.
Reburying the Remains, that were Dumped
A full program is still on the editing boards of the full Nemadji Cemetery walk through with additional coverage of the Wisconsin Point site and the Settlers Cemetery across the street. That program will be in an upcoming feature at www.IndianCountryTV.com in the featured digital player and will be listed in the May 4th - May 18 featured index in the TV website and News From Indian Country along with a dozen other up-coming programs.

Why Are Evangelical Colleges Struggling? Don't Forget These Two Things
Kudos to Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra at The Gospel Coalition for peeling apart the complicated causes for declining enrollments at evangelical colleges and universities. She goes beyond the obvious, yet her article still leaves out two important factors, two unique trends in evangelical higher ed that were already becoming evident during the twentieth century.
How did we end up here…?
As Zylstra writes, all colleges these days are charging higher tuition than they had in the past. Moreover, there are more students than ever attending higher education. Seems as if these should be boom times for all universities, but they are not. Revenues are down, enrollments are threatened, and administrators are facing difficult cost-cutting choices. Just ask Alaska.
What gives? As Zylstra notes, we shouldn't be fooled by high tuition rates. In practice, colleges have to discount that rate for most of their students, and evangelical colleges might be getting only about 50% of their sticker price. Plus, competition with public universities has become even more intense, with many publics adopting the aggressive recruitment models of private schools. Finally, to keep up, evangelical colleges have had to pony up for new kinds of campus accoutrements that families have come to expect, such as high-end dining, climbing walls, and more.
As Zylstra relates,
"It's an arms race," [one administrator] said. "We all had to do what we needed to compete." Colleges upgraded their technology and built new dorms, classrooms, and gyms. . . . "Now we hit a price point, and a lot of parents won't pay.". . . schools are bringing in less money due to discounted tuition while at the same time spending more on upgrades.
In addition to these important reminders, evangelical colleges in particular have their own unique strengths and challenges. First, the good news for evangelical higher ed: These days, small colleges and universities are all struggling to come up with something that evangelical institutions have gobs of. Namely, a niche. In Wisconsin, for example, the hapless Stevens Point campus tried to recreate itself as a "professions" campus, focusing on teaching and health care. It didn't work.
For a century already, evangelical colleges and universities have had their niche. In this case, conservative evangelical colleges can claim to do something that state schools and secular private schools don't—they guarantee the faithfulness of their faculty and they promise to shape students' faith in their own tradition. For a lot of college-shoppers, that's huge.
But it comes at a big cost. Ever since the 1950s, as I uncovered in the research for Fundamentalist U, evangelical institutions faced a unique sort of intra-evangelical competition. Biola looked anxiously at the success of Azusa Pacific. Wheaton fretted about the successes of Bob Jones. And Bob Jones got nervous about the growth of Liberty.
For evangelical parents and families, the marketplace of evangelical institutions gives them a choice, and that choice tends to push schools to become more and more conservative. From Bryan College to Cedarville, all across the country, evangelical colleges are tightening down on their political and religious distinctives. Why? Because if they want to enjoy the enrollment boosts that come with their religious niche, they need to offer something truly different than mainstream schools. They need to sell themselves to students and families as something other than a public university with mandatory chapel attendance. So they tend to squeeze students and faculty members with more and more conservative requirements.
Does it spell doom for evangelical higher ed? Not at all. But as a perspicacious alumna of Westmont College recently noted in these pages,
The crisis of higher education is felt across the board, and evangelical colleges are no different. At Westmont, enrollment has been down significantly in recent years, making the role of donors even more prominent. By now I recognize that all colleges and universities are beholden to donors to some extent, but Christian colleges especially are due to their generally smaller size and "niche market." . . . How will these trends impact Christian higher education? I believe there's already a significant rift between progressive members of Christian colleges (including mostly faculty and some students) and conservative members (donors, administrations, and some other students). If the conservative element continues to control the purse strings, the progressive element will feel increasingly alienated, perhaps contributing to an even greater decline in enrollment.

Microsoft works on its own schedule -- without user permission
PC Periodicals
On many PCs, Microsoft has recently changed the way Windows 10 upgrades are offered to Windows 7 and 8.1 computers. Updates to Windows 10 just start installing without asking users.
This change has caused considerable damage to many computers that had not been prepped for the install, and there have been many updates applied that have left the computers unusable. These reports started to appear 2-3 weeks ago.
It seems that Redmond has implemented these aggressive changes a bit earlier — four days earlier, on May 12, according to information provided by Microsoft.
A recent advisory published by Microsoft reveals that the Get Windows 10 app was updated to schedule these upgrades to Windows 10. Probably during the Patch Tuesday cycle this month. That said, the company says that canceling the upgrade is as easy as pressing a button – but that has not always been the case.
This move has irked many users, particularly those with multiple computers and those in a companywide setup. Many users were waiting for third-party software to be made compatible with Windows 10, and this new aggressive policy has left many users unable to run their main applications.
It appears Microsoft is only interested in boosting the number of Windows 10 installs to make its number look better, without regard to the end user. Perhaps Microsoft should start looking for a new CEO who cares about the end-users.
The free upgrade offer for Windows 7 and 8.1 users ends July 29, and everyone who wants to install Windows 10 beyond this date will need to purchase a license, with the Home version of the operating system costing $119.99. It remains to be seen just how much more aggressive Microsoft will get as the deadline looms.
Patch Tuesday
May 10 was Patch Tuesday and Microsoft released this month's security updates for a wide array of its software solutions including Windows, Office, Internet Explore and Edge.
A total of eight critical security updates were part of this month's cycle. One of these updates has been provided by Adobe to fix vulnerabilities in the Flash Player, and Microsoft is shipping it via Windows Update to address the flaw in IE and Edge.
All critical updates correct Remote Code Execution vulnerabilities that require users to manually open compromised websites or documents — and these are most often the most fixed issues that the Microsoft update takes care of with these Patch Tuesday updates.
Specifically MS16-051 and MS16-052 are two critical updates aimed at Internet Explore and Edge web browsers, and these bring fixes for all versions of Windows currently supported (meaning Windows 8.1 and Windows 10). Microsoft recommends the deployment of these on an urgent basis, particularly for users that use these applications regularly.
Next up is MS16-053, which is a cumulative update for Jscript and VBScript. Office improvements are part of another update that goes by the name of MS16-054.
Overall, this Patch Tuesday addressed more than 100 flaws in Microsoft software and solutions — a substantial number. So, get those download engines started and deploy these latest updates as soon as you can.

To Qualify for the FCA Finals in All Events, except roughstock, Contestants must have entered and competed in that event, at a minimum of 10 Rodeos during the season, 50% (to a maximum of 7) of those rodeos must be FCA "Mother" sanctioned rodeos (in Roughstock only 5 Mother Rodeos are needed to make the finals). In the case where a rodeo is not formally approved by the FCA 6 weeks prior to the date of entries the board will adjust the rodeo count accordingly in favor of the contestant. If said rodeo is subsequently approved by the board then it will still count as a mother sanctioned rodeo in the contestants count.

Herman Jacob LANGENBERG
Name Herman Jacob LANGENBERG
Born 18 Jan 1935 Bolsward, Friesland, Netherlands
Died 30 Nov 2012 Leongatha, Victoria, Australia
Leaving the local Bolsward school at the age of 14 years, Herman began what was to be a 45 year career in the Dairy Industry. On the 14th of March 1949 at the age of fourteen Herman began working as a laboratory apprentice progressing to skilled dairy worker Buttermaker/Centrifugist at the Bolsward dairy factory "Hollandia Ltd" a producer of milkproducts and foodstuffs. Herman's father Jacob was also employed at 'Hollandia'.
In 1955, Herman (20 years) and his younger brother Martin (18 years) emigrated to Australia. The brothers departed from Rotterdam on the 13 September 1955 on the S.S. Sibajak. Like many new immigrants to Victoria, Herman and Martin were initially located at the Bonnegilla migrant camp in northern Victoria. They soon relocated to Dumbalk in Gippsland where Herman found employment at the Dumbalk Co-operative Butter and Cheese Company initially as an Ordinary Hand and quickly qualifying as Buttermaker.
After two years at the Dumbalk Co-op Herman returned to Friesland where he married Siebrigje (Siepie). Herman and Siepie departed Rotterdam for Australia on 11 February 1958 on the S.S. Johan van Oldebarneveldt. On returning from the Netherlands in 1958 the young couple stayed temporarily in Dumbalk (11 Feb - Aug 1958) before moving to Moe where Herman became senior buttermaker for the local co-op. After 11 years at Moe, the family moved to Koroit in Western Victoria where Herman took on the position of butter room manager in the newly built Murray Goulburn dairy factory. This was one of the biggest challenges of his career as he and his staff had to commission the new equipment which was the first in Australia. After 10 years at Koroit he transferred to the Leongatha Branch in Gippsland as butter room manager then factory manager. After 45 years in the dairy industry Herman retired in 1995.
Herman and Siepie ran a grazing property in Mardan for over 20 years. Herman passed away in 2012 after a long illness. Siepie lives in the family home in Leongatha.

Kim Kardashian: 'I think it's a little bully-ish to call a pregnant woman fat'
Fashion, Kim Kardashian
Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian leaving her Beverly Hills home yesterday. She was on her way to The Tonight Show, where she was allegedly promoting her part in Tyler Perry's Temptation. Quick: who are the stars of Temptation? Right? I don't really despise what she's wearing here… I mean, it's not flattering, it's too short and she looks ridiculous, but it's not as bad as the other stuff she's worn this week.
You know that Kim has worn a few pieces of Chanel during her pregnancy, right? Well, Karl Lagerfeld was asked about Kim during a recent interview, and Karl was actually sort-of nice about it. He said: "It's very pretentious to say 'I don't want to see this on that person, etc.' Everybody is allowed to buy it, to enjoy it. I'm not there as a fashion judge, I'm there as a designer." Which is as nice as Karl Lagerfeld gets, truly. He didn't call Kim names, he's just like "Well, anybody can buy the clothes, whatever."
As for Kim's Tonight Show appearance… I'm including the videos below. Kim's girlie-stripper voice annoys me, but the interview isn't terrible. Kim admits that her pregnancy was "a pleasant surprise… it wasn't really planned." As for baby names, she says: "We have a list. And some of them are 'K' names some of them aren't. North is not on our list… but you know what name I do like – but it probably won't be on [our list]… I like Easton – Easton West – I think that's cute." In Part II, Kim talks about her weight and the media and how she doesn't appreciate being called "fat".

Kitten Mittens says:
You came here. She'll only go away when no one cares to even click on a link. Be it positive or negative it's still attention and awareness. You may even love to hate her. It's pretty obvious that from the amount of comments, as negative as they are, people are paying attention to Kim and for that reason she isn't going away.
It's so funny to see people complain about her, but she's staying relevant because people care enough to complain. Does anyone complain about Paris anymore? Not really. Her posts get maybe 20 comments and because of that her articles don't get posted. So next time there's a Kim K post and it reaches over 100 comments you're the ones keeping her relevant. Nice job folks.
Aclama says:
A effing MEN.
SMH I agree with her on that one.
Saying preggers and Fat NO – not nice.
As for matters of style, well we were all doing that before so continue on.
BTW that dress sucks, and is not flattering to her figure. How's that for Nice?
Looks like a big black trash bag with snaps. And – yes little ruffles on the chest are a nice touch. Meow!
The Wizz says:
Agree totally Uncool to call a preggers woman fat…EVER. No matter who she is.
ms. deneuve says:
is it okay, to call her preggo outfits totally bullshitish!? 'cause sweet Lord, Jesus, that's just all sorts of wrong. who is she trying to turn on?
Launicaangelina says:
Ugh! Stop dressing like a fool and lying about your weight! Or, here's something even better, don't talk about weight AT ALL.
Exactly! Checkmate, bitch!
Anonny says:
First off, I can't stand this woman.
However, her atrocious choice in clothing and her comments about her weight (which she's pretty much forced to make in defense of herself) still don't entitle anyone to call a pregnant woman "fat."
jwoolman says:
I don't think of her as fat. She just doesn't wear clothes that fit right or look good on her, now or before she was pregnant. It's rather bizarre, which explains why I keep reading about her…
My latest theory is that she genuinely is not very intelligent (dull normal range?) and she is kind of baffled by responses to her. This might be as good as it gets for her. The rest of the Klan seems to be of at least normal intelligence and reasonably self-aware. But Kim reminds me of a kid in my class in grade school who was clearly of lower intelligence although a nice, friendly person (well, Kim isn't as nice). Does anybody know how Kim did in school? We know they all cheated (mom already revealed that) and education is low-priority in that family. But did she struggle in school? That doesn't necessarily mean lack of intelligence, but together with other things could be enlightening in figuring out what makes Kimmie tick (or not).
PinkG says:
She is not, "forced" to make any comments. Her PR team plants the stories and she replies to them for press. Get with the game. This family is so transparent. All they do is lie.
If you wore pregnancy clothes maybe you would "Look" pregnant. But because you refuse, you "Look Fat". Not all woman can refuse to wear pregnancy clothes. You are one of those who who clearly needs to wear pregnancy clothes. You have enough money hire someone! Until then don't be shocked that people are critiquing your style as they always have. Sorry to be mean. I don't think I've ever been this mean in a public forum.
cr says:
You'd think she could afford shoes that fit her.
And that outfit, no, just no.
Afford? Like she pays for anything? In the last picture she looks like a Weeble getting ready to wobble AND fall down.
Hakura says:
I believe since getting pregnant, she probably *has* been paying for things. Designers give freebies to those they feel will be good advertising for their brand, & right now, Kim is anything but.
Even if she's not wearing the right sizes/flattering cuts, people are going to see her & automatically think that's what it's made to look like, & hate the outfit. So I don't see them giving her hand-outs to f*ck up the public perception of said designs.
I thought I heard she was gonna give up the heels, as if…. adding my two cents here ALL her choices are just no!
KaraAngela says:
…..her face looks funny….I can't explain…???
virginia5 says:
is it the jacked up lips?
Christo says:
It's the combination of actual fat pushing out the contents of the fillers in her face. Not to sound too gross, but those fillers are like aesthetically designed stuffing/subcutaneous cysts inserted throughout her face, the hardened nature of which is designed to fill out the tissues on her face. Her pregnancy weight in her face is pushing out those already plumped up tissues in the most unnatural way. What she is left with is a cat-like visage that isn't helped any with the heavy eye makeup that narrows her eyes in this case.
Katie Too says:
If that's the case, we're talking implants (maybe in addition to fillers). Restylane and the other fillers are hyaluronic acid (thinking Perlane et al). It's soft almost all the time barring complications and dissipates naturally.
I get my pathetically-thin lips done, at most, one every year and a half. I have been pregnant and my lips ballooned up with or without the lip stuff. But I doubt they're hard. Implants on the other hand or perhaps scar tissue are a whole nother ball game.
Much as I hate K, I doubt she's had fillers since she got pregnant. She's vain, but I think she wants this baby to be as healthy as possible. And, she has very bad style, but fat comments aren't appropriate for pregnant women. We all knew her body would not handle the extra weight gracefully.
Now, I feel dirty for defending her.
Yea it looks like…super tight pulled back from all directions creepy Saran-wrappy cat face thanks for the insight ladies I couldn't quite put my finger on it!
Nose surgery + swollen lips + filler in her cheeks + loads of botox + vampire lifitngs + pregnancy fat + too much makeup (especially under eye concealer)= disaster
I nominate this post to Wikipedia for the most accurate description of a Kardashian.
Then stop tucking your shirt in!!!! All you see are huge tits and stomach for the love of God. Buy some maternity clothes!!
Excellent fashion tips. Totally agree. That 'define your waist to look smaller'is not working in this situation.
Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen a pregnant woman who tucks their shirts in like this… what in the hell is she thinking?? Horrible look.
This isn't shocking for someone who avoids using a full-body mirror entirely (because she's unable to handle looking at/accept her new body). Otherwise I think even she would know better.
Sure I would never call a pregnant woman fat, but Kim makes herself look fat by wearing the most unflattering clothes. She should embrace the fact that she is pregnant, instead of hiding it by wearing spanx.
and why would they name their kid easton West :/ smh
Nemesis says:
Yes! She's making it obvious that she's gaining weight with the ugly clothes she keeps wearing.
crazycatlady says:
I'll call her fat…
RHONYC says:
didn't watch the interview, but i can say i am bored to death with the 'DRESS-LIKE-I'M-NOT-PREGNANT' wardrobe.
those tight ass bindings above her belly just makes her look uncomfortable, potentially harmful to the baby, vain & stupid.
whatevs…HAPPY EASTER & PASSOVER my Celebitchez!!!
Poink517 says:
Agree!! Right back at ya with the Easter/Passover wishes!
I read in one of the other posts that tight clothing/spanx *aren't* potentially harmful to the baby. I'm not a doctor myself, so can't really say for sure…
HAPPY EASTER & PASSOVER to you too! =D
lem says:
somewhat on topic: i follow a lot of fitness accounts on instagram and SO MANY WOMEN do before/after posts and nearly every damn one of them uses their 9 month pregnant photo as their "before" picture and it drives me INSANE. they weren't FAT before! they were pregnant! and you can tell by looking at them that they weren't overweight before pregnant, nor did they get to jessica simpson size while pregnant! being pregnant doesn't equal being fat!
Heh, they just want to give the most exaggerated comparison they can, so everyone can be amazed by how much smaller they are. (Which they would be anyway after losing the renter in their uterus, & all their stuff xD)
I felt SO bad for Jessica, she was impressively (somewhat horrifyingly) large during pregnancy.
It looks like she took a non-maternity leather skirt and placed it as high as it could go to where she could comfortably button it closed. The only thing from stopping it from going to her neck is her huge boobs. It makes the proportions wonky since now the skirt looks ridiculous and is clearly too short.
I.want.shoes says:
Yes. I think it should be a rule that if you can't sit with your legs crossed while wearing a short skirt, then you really shouldn't be wearing a short skirt.
Lulu.T.O. says:
Yet the hem is not higher in the front than it is in back, which is what happens when you wear non-maternity skirts. 0_O.
Abra says:
It's not okay to call a pregnant woman fat, at all! BUT, she needs to stop fueling it by saying things like 'I weigh 140 and I've only gained 20lbs'.
She should tell the body shamers to eff-off and mind their own, then go and buy some maternity clothes that don't look so ridiculous.
Miss M says:
Seriously, is she so dense that she doesn't seem to realize that no one thinks she's fat? Just that she can't dress her pregnancy well AND is a liar about the pounds she's gain?
The Original Tiffany says:
During that interview she could not stop talking about In-N-Out and food. (I can't blame her for craving In-N-Out) If that were J.Simp everyone would be having a cow today. She isn't fat, but she needs to find a decent stylist. Please.
Her face never moved during the interview and the voice and laugh are so annoying. She looked just like her mother last night. Did anyone catch what she said about Khloe? Thought that was the most interesting thing. She loves throwing her sisters under the bus.
She took someone else with her when she told Khloe she was pregnant because she needed backup because Khloe wants a baby, so, so, so bad. Lied to her mom about who she told first. I completely fail to see anything one thing redeeming about this person.
Every chick on the front of CB looks so plastic it is like another race of humans. The Hunger Games just got real.
I thought it was bitchy when she said that Kourtney had gained 30 pounds at that stage in her pregnancy while she had only gained 20.
Ingttyt says:
On top of the comments about being afraid of Khloe's reaction, and the comments about Kourtney (Well at least I'm not as fat as my sister was), this is still the woman who called Khloe a "an evil, ugly little troll" for waking her up in the morning. Crazy pants doesn't get any sympathy from me.
JenD says:
Yet she claimed earlier she didn't have any cravings and was just eating carrots. Something to the effect as "I wish I were craving a burger."
@TO Tiffany – I truly got the impression that she felt *guilty* for getting pregnant (w/o even trying) when she knows Khloe so wants to be. I don't (for 1 sec) believe that she was "afraid" as in, for her physical well-being xD There are plenty of other reasons unrelated to pregnancy for that. Kourtney may have gone hoping to be some sort of comfort to Khloe.
@Ingttyt – Not to sound like I'm defending her (Definitely not), but I was far from the nicest person when I first woke up. I've called my little brother WAY worse for that. & it usually involved a string of expletives. xD
@JenD – Well, we all know she's so full of sh*t that we just automatically assume she's lying or exaggerating. n_n
MonicaQ says:
No, I'm not calling her fat–I'm calling her fashion bad. Bad on the level of "pls stahp" bad.
If you're heavier–or husky, bigger, fat, whatever–sometimes you just gotta own up to it. I do and I'm not famous. Recognize your size + buy clothes built for your body type = PROFIT. It just takes a level of self-awareness that probably Kim couldn't find with the Hubble Space Telescope.
truthful says:
she is so dang gone DUMB, its her horrid OUTFITS and joker face.
her plastic surgery makes everything look bad, bottomline.
she needs to keep quiet, stop parading around in those horrible outfits and go see WHO has her "babydaddy" sooooo amused that he will not be seen with her.
I wish she would stop trying to make maternity leather happen. It isn't flattering (on her, at least).
She's not fat, or even "plus sized". She has crappy style and seems to be blinded to it.
East and West? Gag me with a spoon.
no, people shouldn't call her fat because she's pregnant. however, she should quit lying about her weight and people would quit talking about it. the lying is what I can't stand.
She's a chronic liar, so we can't really expect any truth about her pregnancy either. It's a habit with her, she thinks it makes her life easier and lets her do what she wants with minimal conflict. Me, I could never keep track of the lies so I have to tell the truth. She actually doesn't keep good track herself, hence she contradicts herself frequently. Whatever way the wind blows, apparently.
I was immediately wondering if Kim actually meant to admit having lied to her mother (about telling her first about the pregnancy). May have been an 'Oopsie!' moment (that she'll pay for later, I'm sure).
But especially the way she sort of mocked her by saying 'Because Mom thinks we're 'the closest' (*insert 'hand gesture' here*). Which automatically says 'no way'). If it were anyone other than Kris, I'd feel bad for her.
But it makes sense… When you get pregnant, the first one you call to tell isn't your manager.
trudiebell says:
She's right it's wrong to shame a pregnant woman for gaining weight. Every pregnancy is different, even if she is flaunting it. Maybe (I can't believe I'm defending her) on some level she is challenging what is culturally appropriate for a pregnant woman to wear, and that's commendable. Being pregnant myself for the first time, and watching my body expand and feeling like I am out of control, all of the bashing on her has made me feel bad about myself (although I relegated myself to leggings and tunics months ago). I know the Kardashians are horrible, but pick on her for something else, seriously.
I hope I didn't contribute to how you're feeling with any comments. Certainly unintended, but I do apologize if so). You shouldn't compare yourself to Kim, you've done nothing to deserve it (unless you're out in public in a tube/crop top xD)
To me, I'm *only* passing judgement on the clothing itself, & how she's choosing unflattering/uncomfortable designs. But I don't for a sec think she's anything even approaching 'fat' (not that I'd ever call her that under any circumstances).
Congratulations on the baby! How far along? =D
Madpoe says:
Ok KK. You're not fat. The clothes you wear are to blame. Buy some cute maternity clothings let the baby breathe!
the girl needs a mirror. one that actually works.
I see 2 possible explanations.
1.) Kim won't look in a full-body mirror, or any reflection lower than her shoulders up, unable to accept her pregnant body changes, so apparently trying her best to ignore it. Or…
2.) As another here on CB suggests, she somehow acquired the mirror from Snow White, to which she poses the same question.
Sarcasmo says:
I happen to think she's bullying the general population with her consistently poor "fashion" choices.
Gain all the weight you want, but don't act like you don't "get" what's going on here. You've been cramming yourself down people's throats for years now. Time to expect some negative input on your poor choices, cakes.

Chris793 says:
Urgh. I can't stand anyone from the Kardashians.
I don't agree with her.
Every pregnant woman is fat or obese!
Check out the news containing pictures of pregnant women every one who is fat or obese is considered the figure of a pregnant woman while the women who are slim or athletic are faking the process.
Obviously I'm judging according to the comments made by the public.
Zoid says:
Hello again! Why, why, why do you keep saying that? Have you never seen a model get pregnant? Look up Gisele's pregnancy. No one accused her of faking it. Kim K looks bigger because of her very short height. Duchess Kate will pop soon enough, but she won't have Kim's boobs or arms thickness. Please stop supporting that very offensive viewpoint that you claim the entire public agrees with. It is very ignorant sexist and downright rude.
mystified says:
Kim's right on this one. When you are pregnant there's a lot that you can't control. Even if you don't gain too much weight some just swell up, get puffy, bloated, retain water etc.
I think the "What to Expect When.." books have done women a disservice by tacitly implying that you have more control over things than you actually do. ( And I'm writing as someone who was fortunate enough to gain all my weight in my belly and lose it all 9 months after giving birth.)
I really get annoyed with fathers-to-be who seem more worried about their wife's weight gain than the health of the baby.
"Kim's right…"
It's a miracle! xD
dcypher1 says:
Shes not obese but shes no waif either. Shes
Voluptuos too me not fat. Everyone gains weight
When there prego get over it kim. Your going to
Add sum pounds then lose all the weight on quicktrim
We all know this all ready so stop crying kim.
fabgrrl says:
No, she isn't "fat". I think she would look very very cute in some maternity clothes.
Besides, I've seen actual fat women who manage to look quite pretty. The secret is they wear clothes that FIT and are flattering to a full figure.
LucyS says:
I think if she would just give in and wear maternity clothes and stop trying to squeeze herself into haute couture, people would stop commenting on her weight. Personally, I don't think she looks fat. I think she looks like she's trying too hard to pretend she can still wear the same size clothing even though she's GROWING A PERSON. If that doesn't give you a pass for looking a little full in the face, nothing ever will.
They make pretty flattering maternity stuff, too. I actually thought some of maternity dresses had more style than what I normally wore. And you can dress anything up with some nice jewelry.
Willa says:
Well said. And we all know shes got plenty of jewlery!
bar world land says:
Oh please. First off, she IS fat. She was fat before she was pregnant.
Secondly, someone who has wedged herself into everyone's life (seriously, can you go ANYWHERE without hearing about the kash kows?) deserves being called every name in the book, whether it's true or not. That's the price of fame.
I have no pity for this attention whor-ah.
elceibeno08 says:
I think it is commendable to be nice to Kim because she is pregnant,but NO, she does not look any better than she did last week. She looks ridiculous. That outfit is inappropriate for a pregnant woman. She clearly refuses to take the fashion advice given to her here a few days ago. She is still wearing high heels, and I think she will wear high heels even when she is giving birth.
Well…her legs look really good? I also don't HATE the outfit but tbh if I were pregnant I would wear whatever I wanted and probably not care if it were cute/flattering. She thinks too much about it. But, she's famous and I am not.
Also, I think it's good she's promoting the film! Maybe not while pregnant but at least it shows she cares about the products and work she has worked with.
swack says:
I will never put someone down, male or female, for their weight as we don't know why the weight is there or not there (works both ways). When Kim first started talking about watching how much she gains (at the beginning of her pregnancy) it bothered me more as you need to gain some weight or the baby is very much effected. That being said, first this statement: 'Kim admits that her pregnancy was "a pleasant surprise… it wasn't really planned."' bothers me. If you are not on birth control of some sort and are having sex then the possibility of getting pregnant is always there. And please don't give me the old "Kim has fertility problems" argument because apparently she doesn't have them. And yes I know you can get pregnant while on birth control but Kim was not on it. Also, she really needs to embrace that she is pregnant, her body is changing and there are better ways to dress than the way she has been dressing. Every outfit (except the tan dress with the sandals) has been hideous. Also, it's sad that you need to wear heels to feel sexy.
*I* find it sad that women feel like they have to be sexy 'all-the-time', or there's something wrong with them. If they don't feel 'sexy', then they feel 'hideous' or 'fat' or '*insert negative word here*'. Not into taking into consideration that 'sexy' is in the eye of the beholder to begin with, not universally one trait or look.
lucy2 says:
I call BS on the pregnancy not being planned – she needed more attention, another narrative for their dumb show, to lock down a star baby daddy, and to try to hurry her divorce along.
THIS!! a 100%!!
TheOriginalKitten says:
Jeebus..I'm hearing circus theme music here at C/B today. Hollywood scares me..these people look like aliens.
I think she's gaining weight in her face from the pregnancy and she's doubling up on lip fillers to compensate.
I should have kept reading. I see we are of the same mind today. The parade of faces today scares the hell out of me!
God help me but I have to agree, it IS mean to call a pregnant woman fat, even if she actually looks fat. A friend of mine last week told me I was getting pudgy and I actually burst into tears and started screaming about how it's not my fault I'm pregnant. It does hurt, a lot.
Not much of a friend. /:-(
That was very unkind of your "friend". Congratulations and don't let the naysayers ruin the best nine months you'll ever spend.
P.S. With friends like that, who needs enemies?
Is it okay for me to call her dumb for not knowing the definition of pretentious?
Thiajoka says:
Nobody's calling her fat–we're just pointing out that it's silly to lie about your weight, particularly when you're pregnant. Also, we're definitely saying that she doesn't know how to dress herself appropriately, but we were also saying that prior to her pregnancy.
I'm not calling her fat as much as I would say that her clothes do NOT flatter and make her look like a small house. As with the majority of women, they're not fat – they're pregnant! But there are those who go overboard with eating, like Jessica Simpson, and it reaches a point where the consensus is "whoa, that's pretty unhealthy for mom & baby." Kim will get there, I imagine.
I love Lagerfeld's subtle shade… "She can buy the clothes if she wants" translation: ANYone can & I'm NOT giving it to her
Now I want another Choupette story (or however you spell the cats name)
Your right, she's not fat…at least fat women wear clothes that fit and wear their right size.
Lotta says:
Yeah, because everyone who is fat dresses the same.
I think she would look fine if she just changed her style. She is not anywhere near being fat.
hadleyb says:
Well she was getting fat before she got pregnant and some people DO get fat while pregnant — sorry but its true.
You don't have to eat for "two" since you are not carrying an adult human inside of you so just upping your calories a bit is fine not another 3000 a day.
I know I know everyone carries differently, gains weight differently but when you have another 50 or 60 pounds to lose AFTER you give birth – you over ate plain and simple.
At least Jessica admits she got huge because she ate like crap and a lot of it!
Jennifer12 says:
She's right; they're bullying her. But to refuse to dress as though she has a belly, to lie about weight? She buys into their mindset just as much.
Dee Cee says:
I do so wish a moratorium could be declared on using "hater" and "bullying"- they are so overused. Seriously, trying to equate snarky comments to some poor kid who's terrified to go on the school bus is just wrong.
The reason her skirts look consistently too short is bec there is not enough fabric to cover her expanding abdomen. She really needs to reconcile herself to maternity wear.
I just hope the world isn't exposed to "the bump" come May/June in a bikini- anything but that!
I agree and I blame RHONYC's Kelly Bensimon, who went crazy and acted psycho while on vacation and then claimed she had been bullied–after then, bullying campaigns started all over the internet. There are people who are bullied, but KimK isn't one of them. Unless you count her mother.
eska says:
Finally I see her touching her belly. My collegue is six-week pregnant and she can not stop to do it.
Sandydc says:
No, Kim, it is not right to call a pregnant woman fat.
We can, however, call you out on your atrocious taste. Please, no more belts until the baby is out! Stop wearing too small non maternity dresses! And, for god's sake, no more leather!
Hey Kimmy, is it okay if we call you 'fat-ish'? Seriously, though, I'm betting she already has her post-birth lipo bought and paid for.
Yup – she'll go with the combo c-section/lipo that is so popular among the celebs.
Forget the 'fat' part. Why on earth was she on the tonight show? What, exactly, is she contributing to the film/tv industry nowadays?
dagdag says:
Nothing. She is making profit.
Oh god here we go. Another day another non-story about the Queen of BORING. Her stuff is so old, we get it Kim, you like to be in love (for awhile) and you like to dress trashy and you like wearing high heels and you like a ton of make up. Botox and lip fillers and spray on tans are your best friend and you are only TRULY happy when the media is paying attention to you and only you. You think as long as you are happy your baby will be happy and don't seem to understand that babies are all about themselves…much like you are. Everyone knows already that you will never be a hands on mom and that you will have round the clock baby care so that you can continue to look at yourself in the mirror and take self photos to tweet. Again we (well most of us) get you and you are getting old and boring with each click of the clock. YUK YUK YUK.
I'm Gonna Leave Soon says:
"Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian leaving her Beverly Hills home yesterday"
This is Famewhoring right?
I mean most American's park their car in their driveway and drive out of it? Or do all you guys do 'pap walks' to your cars parked in the street?
I think her assistant takes the pictures and then her mother pays sites to post them or she simply calls the paps to let them know her plans for the day.
Wait…you don't do a pap walk when you leave everyday??
locamochagirl says:
People would stop calling her fat if she dressed for the body type she has now. Not to mention, SHE is the one who keeps bringing up her weight. She obviously is super insecure. I hate what she's done to her face. She does not look natural.
Well I'll be damned, I actually agree with the Kardashian/Jenners – yes, it IS mean to call people fat or too skinny, especially since it's like people become hypercritical of weight with ridiculously tight standards as soon as they get behind a computer. I've literally seen a celeb flamed to being too skinny, so then they gain the "much needed" 10lb so then people start calling them "chunky". I don't get it.
The Original Mia says:
People will stop talking about her weight, when she stops shoving her growing body into clothes meant for non-pregnant women.
She's the one posting pictures of herself on her twitter & Instagram, longing for the day when he body wasn't carrying a child.
Her weight gain is another famewhoring move in a lifetime of famewhoring moves.
Bullying anybody is terrible.
The obsession with pregnancy – I know women who have nasty personalities; before, during and after pregnancy.
Now, a women who glows and sparkles being pregnant, that´s a pleasure to the eye.
Wait a minute – Kaiser Karl goes to town on Adele and the First Lady, but he's going to hold back on Kim Kardashian? Come on, just think of the epically mean comments he could have come up with on her! Disappointment.
Why should Karl critize Kardashian? No flair or charisma, just trashy. Karl never goes below his level. It is after all, Kaiser Karl. KK in higher spheres.
You know what? She is the one who chose to inflate her ass to ridiculous proportions. Don't be upset when you end up looking like your dragging a load around in your pants and people notice.
LOL YAYmen!
Aww, Kim. You're always being bullied, I know. Blah blah.
She looks so uncomfortable
How could she seriously say that she has never had plastic surgery. I am baffled.
And the sun has never shone.
She has had so much plastic surgery, her body is a by-product of petroleum.
Her a** is enormous and her boobs are huge because of her implants, plus the natural increase in size that occurs with pregnancy. But the distribution of her weight gain is off kilter. Her face is all jacked up, too, and the procedures she's obviously had make her look ten years older.
I would never bag on a pregnant woman's weight, especially since I gained, and lost, 50 lbs. with each of my two kids. But I didn't dress in clothes that were sizes too small and not cut to accommodate a pregnant body. Kim brings the ridicule on herself because she is ridiculous.
DeltaJuliet says:
1. I thought she had said she and Kanye were trying to get pregnant? Now she says they weren't?
2. I think most of us have been very careful to state that she is wearing very unflattering clothes, not that she's fat. And also that she LIES about her weight.
3. Takes one to know one. She's not exactly above bully behavior herself, so…..
This +1000. She and her sisters are the queen of mean and they love to gang up on other people "who don't fit into their mold" on facebook. They lie so much that they forget what the plan lie was and so they change it up. Ugly people each and everyone of those KrapTrashian girls.
Her original face was so pretty. I'll never understand why she had to mess with it.
Hmmm says:
Like someone else said – she was FAT before she got knocked up. Therefore, even preggo, she is STILL FAT. Not a judgement call, you guys. It is what it is. Her style is crapola because she knows ppl will talk about it. Even BAD publicity (hello Ray J peeing on you?) is good for her. Please just make these ppl go away. Too rich, stupid and classless for most of us…
She's smaller than the average woman though – more weirdly proportioned of course, but I bet her bmi was smaller than average pre-preg. I think people just hate her personality.
Lachica says:
I'm sorry but the truth is that this ho is both fat and pregnant. It is possible to be BOTH.
novaraen says:
But there is a difference between fat and pregnant…and Kim…you're packing on the pounds and most of it isn't baby related. It's a shame you can't seem to dress yourself in a flattering way…so guess you'll just have to deal with what people say.
On an episode of KUWTK, she was talking about surrogacy with her sisters, and Kim stated "I'm not going to get fat for not my baby"…lol in translation that means she wouldn't gain wait to carry someone else's baby…so she DID say the "f" word pertaining to being pregnant. She is a hypocrite.
I don't think it's right to mock someone's weight period, pregnant or not, but Kim doesn't remember half the stuff she says, she is always contradicting herself.
pfeiffer87 says:
The funny thing is that the film looks actually quite good – it's starring Jurnee Smollett (whom I love!) and Lance Gross. I think Kim is only in a minute portion of the film (thank goodness!). I hope people support the film even though she's in it, films with people of colour in main roles need support!
I have seen every Tyler Perry movie and plan on seeing this one, despite K's presence.
I saw an episode of the show where Kim said she was detoxing her body. That was the episode when she got rid of the cat. I could have sworn she said that she was trying to get healthy in order to have a baby. Now she says that the pregnancy was accidental. She is such a compulsive liar.
CocoBelly says:
Her boobs look redic.
Ok,i think she is being picked on for her atrocious style more than her weight gain. I do want to say that it would be terribly hypocritical for her to be on magazine covers or endorsing weight loss programs after she "loses " her baby weight. I think that those things can be considered fat shaming to mothers who have just given birth and have more important things to worry about than losing weight. We know that she will change her tune as soon as she gives birth though, don't we?
Vl says:
If you invite people to comment on your weight by going on and on about how Slim you are (when you really haven't been since a teenager) you better be ready to called out on being Fat when you are.
Pregnant or not, she is fat.
And surely she dresses like this for attention, noone, not even she has that horrible fashion sense.
Wow, her hand is actually touching her belly for once. But to me it's so staged and fake since she knows she's being photographed. And for goodness sake, wear looser clothing! That cinched waist looks so uncomfortable and ridiculous.
If Kim would stop stuffing her size 16 into a 12, no one would say anything? That is where the problem is… She will dress, say, or act as inappropriate as she needs to try and stay relevant.
skuddles says:
Absolutely. She knows it's better we point and laugh and talk about how gross she looks then just completely ignore her existence entirely – which is really what we should be doing…
GeeMoney says:
Her stylist needs to be slapped, pronto.
bluhare says:
I haven't read this thread and am not going to.
But I am SO FRICKIN SICK of the overuse of "bullying". She's not being bullied, she's being criticised for her fashion choices, and if she'd pick something flattering the noise would die down.
I so agree with you- posted about the same thing earlier today.
But see below- now we are subjected to "quasi-bullying" AKA bully- ish- pls make it stop!
I think the problem is, she doesn't dress to compliment the pregnancy, she dresses like she's ignoring it. Instead of clothes that would be flattering to her belly, she dresses like she's not pregnant.
It is bully-ish to call a pregnant woman fat!
Sachi says:
I don't like the current trend of sheer tops with the bold, ruffled collars. The contrast doesn't look good. Paired with a leather skirt and it's even worse.
She should really ask Kourtney to style her. Kourtney looked great in both pregnancies. She was stylish but comfortable.
Also, Kim's face looks like it hurts to speak and smile.
Asdfg says:
Omg! She looks scary in these pics! :X
Better hope she doesn't catch a stiff breeze. Up up and away… in my beautiful… my beautiful balloon!
For once, and I hate to say it, I actually agree with her. I don't think she looks fat neither, she just doesn't know how to dress that bump.
Kittypants says:
What the f*** is she wearing? Have you ever seen a pregnant woman dress anything even remotely like this? As dumb as a sack of hair. Oh wait.
Bread and Circuses says:
Well, she's right. It is mean to call a pregnant woman fat.
But contrast her reaction to the comments with how Jessica Simpson handled her first pregnancy. Jessica was all about enjoying the experience and not worrying about how she looked for nine months. Kim K, on the other hand, is freaking out about nine months of not being "hot".
And it's weird that she's so hyper-sensitive about this, because people have been saying much nastier things about her for many years now.
Well in my opinion she has done so many Nasty and disgusting things to reach this level of fame that she should be ignoring this completely BUT she loves the attention be it good or bad. Just look at her smile when the media is involved. She is simply vain, vapid and vile and nothing will ever change that.
Oh god she looks terrible. Her face is more terrifying looking here than it is in stills. Poor Jay Leno having to look at that alien, and her poor baby.
Dear God, her breasts are as big as her head!
silly you says:
can we please stop calling every criticism or insult 'bullying'? thanks
Elle Kaye says:
If you didn't know she was pregnant, you would think this was a woman with enormous breasts, and a very large beer belly, who clearly had no idea how to dress her body type.
Instead, this is a pregnant woman who clearly has no idea how to dress a growing pregnant body. In everything she wears, she appears to be bursting at the seams. We comment, not because we are rude, but because we cannot believe a pregnant woman would treat her body so cruelly.
Put on some comfortable clothes, for goodness sake.
Where is the boyfriend??? Kanye West? Baby daddy, or so she says!
"my baby mamma or baby daddy" is just so crass. I hate that saying but that is what most unmarried people who have procreated call it now. As far as Kanye goes I think he is haning out in Paris with his boyfri…his fashion assistant!
HappyJoyJoy says:
Wow, I can't help but notice how much her pregnancy isn't agreeing with all the work she's had done on her face. She looks like a cartoon. She used to be gorgeous.
She is right but her fashion choices are just asking for it.
sneaka sneak says:
She is a big fat pig. Pregnant or not and if you don't agree you're blind as f#$%!
What on earth is wrong with you?
Pandaemonium says:
'I think it's a little bully-ish to call a pregnant woman fat'
She's always been fat. I wouldn't care either, if she didn't lie and say she was a size four all of this time. She and I are the exact same height, exact same body type and the only way I can get a size 4 on me, is if I cut it open and drape it over my body like a tent.
So, girl… you were fat before and you are definitely fat now. Now, please, go away and make room for real talent.
Does it make you feel good to cut down other women? It is pretty pathetic… Kim was never "fat" and it is sad for you to try and claim she was. Let go of your anger and focus on your own happiness.
Before she was pregnant it was refreshing to see a non stick thin celebrity. I like seeing someone with more weight on them being considered beautiful!
It is pretty disgusting to see a normal pregnant woman being called fat but it is just an extension… pregnant women's bodies are apparently public property. It is a travesty for a pregnant woman to do anything to compromise a pregnancy but barely anyone care what happens to the foetus once it is born. How many people adopt abused children? Not many.
Even if Kim weren't being criticized for her weight while pregnant, people are still very "judgy" about her not wearing maternity clothes and not touching her belly enough/at all. Sorry, but women's bodies, especially women's pregnant bodies, are not public property. Yes, I know the argument of her putting herself out there, lying, wearing unflattering clothes, etc., which is ALL true, but my comment still stands. Basically, she does what she does because of who she is, but that doesn't give us a waiver to abandon our own standards of propriety and good conduct.Then we've simply stooped to her level. And as I always tell my high school students, you can never win by playing someone else's game. I know it's a gossip site, but the classy thing to do would be to hold our tongues. Not the fun thing, but the classy thing.
No, no, no.
KK does not play "human entertainment" to an audience with standards of propriety and good conduct. She would not make a penny.
The classy thing would be to ignore KK? That would be the end of the brand KK.
Veronika Knowles says:
Haha – fat ass! Looks like a moose!
Snowpea says:
Her knockers are as big as watermelons! Crikey, they must weigh a tonne.
I never believed she was preggers before but after seeing those knockers I'm a believer.
I couldn't care less what size she is, but it is hardly "refreshing" to see a beautiful celeb who is not stick-thin lying about the size she is in order to perpetuate the myth that only the thin/tiny are valuable. I would feel a lot more sympathy and support for her if she owned her body and said "Hell yeah I'm an 8/10/12/whatever and I make it look DAMN GOOD!" Her current MO of lying until she fits the Hollywood ideal on paper is not helpful to women at all.
Interesting to see how uncomfortable Jay Leno got when Kim joked about taking his job. Notices how quickly he redirects the conversation? This guy plainly does not want to retire and hand it over to Fallon. He is going to cause a stink just like when Conan O'Brien took over.
Is she even divorced yet?
These are people who are "famous' because they are rich. They contribute absolutely nothing to society and are all basically useless.
This chik hates the word fat, she is all about body image and invest whatever it cost, to get everyone to look at her therefore she will do all she can to deny that she is.
I do believe the Karma bus has made a stop a the media ho's house.


People choose to relocate to a new home for all sorts of reasons. You might be moving because you've just been offered the job of a lifetime that you'd be mad to turn down. Alternatively, you might fancy a change of scenery and the opportunity to get to know a new town or city. You might simply be moving because you're bored of living in the same property, but relocating is undoubtedly an arduous endeavour that requires careful planning and professional help.
Needless to say, you'll want to make as much money as you can from the sale of your property in Barnsley. You might be asking yourself 'how can I sell my house in Barnsley for a high return?' If that's the case, you'll benefit from taking the basic tips below on board that can help you secure a great price as well as a speedy sale.
The most important thing you need to do is find a reputable estate agent that has years of industry experience and knows how to secure a quick sale. There are many estate agents in Barnsley that have earned a reputation for excellence, but you might want to take measures on your own to make sure your property sells for a high price.
Make sure everything's tidy – Some people intend to buy a home that they can redecorate to make their own, and that means you need to make sure their imagination can run wild when they come for a viewing. Make sure there's no clutter taking up any floor space, and you might want to put mirrors on walls to make rooms look as large as possible.
Consider revamping your home – Revamping your home might seem unnecessary if you're about to relocate, but certain home improvements can increase the value of your property tremendously. You might want to think about making your garden look like a paradise, and you'll benefit from ensuring your home's interior looks as modern as possible.
Advertise your property properly – People search for homes in newspapers, magazines and online, so you'll want to make sure your property is well advertised on all platforms to appeal to a large market. It's worth getting professional help to make sure your adverts stand out and capture attention, and that means you'll need to find an estate agent you can trust.
Finding a reputable estate agent is perhaps the most important thing you can do when trying to sell your home quickly and for a fair price. As long as you do your research and find an agent that's been operating in Barnsley for years, you can feel confident that you'll get what you deserve from the sale of your home.

New port construction plan submitted to Azerbaijani transport ministry
Azerbaijan, Baku, Jan. 26 / Trend /
The Azerbaijani Transport Ministry and the Dutch Royal Haskoning Company discussed a plan for the construction of a new international sea trade port in Alat on the Caspian coast, the ministry said.
The sides viewed the establishment of a geodesic network on the territory of the port, which will comprise of a railway and an automobile road connecting the port to a major highway.
The plan will be submitted to relevant organizations for proposals.
The port will be multimodal because it will create a free economic zone and a logistic center.
The new international sea port will be constructed in three stages and will be completed by 2015.
The first stage of the project, 2008-2010, envisages the construction of two bridges for ferry boats, three freight bridges for containers, Ro-Ro ships and simple (universal) dry cargo ships.
The second stage of the project, 2011-2013, envisages the construction of three other freight bridges. And the third stage of the project, 2014-2015, envisages the construction of two additional freight bridges.
The project is worth over $400 million.
Eleven berths will be built on the new port, of which six will be completed in the first phase of the project. After the port is finished its capacity will be 11.6 million tons of cargo.
At the moment, there are six international trade ports in the Caspian Sea - Baku (Azerbaijan), Turkmenbashi (Turkmenistan), Aktau (Kazakhstan), Astrakhan (Russia), Enzeli and Neka (Iran).

Global warming must be taken seriously (Column ~ 04/14/07)

Water shortages in Africa. Disappearing glaciers worldwide. Shrinking ice sheets...


"I must admit, I love good food. My father and I share the belief that if we have to eat it should be good. A few years ago this conclusion was a big problem for me because I was an expert at burning water…so I set off on a journey to learn to prepare amazing food. Five years later I'm proud of my culinary skills and find feeding large groups to be so much fun, especially because I only do it on special occasions and never do the dishes after!
Although enjoyed all over the country, Nanaimo Bars are a western Canadian design. A thick layer of chocolate atop the middle layer of sweet and rich creamy custard buttery icing, all atop a thick crumby chocolate/walnut/coconut base makes this square a finger-food dessert. As a little girl, Nanaimo Bars were one of my faves at showers and parties…except I hate the bottom of them! Thankfully, my dear cousin Jessica loves the base layer and hates the top two. I'm sure you can image two little girls snagging (another!) treat from the dessert buffet and splitting it. She often had to tell me she was done, as her sweet tooth wasn't nearly the size of mine, so I'd go and find my mom who also loved the bottom layer. (Just a little tip: Chill them before splitting, otherwise you'll wind up with a gooey mess.) Recipe here!
What would Canadian cuisine be without poutine? (Pronounced poo-teen or poo-tin or pass-me-that-now-because-I-can't-resist-it, depending on the person with whom you are sharing this dish!) French fries, or 'chips' as they are known to many, are fried to perfection, covered in cheese curds, and smothered in gravy. You'll find many variations, some adding meat or spices. I once met a chef who boasted that her classic poutine recipe took 5 years to perfect – from potato to cheese curd to gravy, the combinations were tried thousands of times; truly was a treat to stop and enjoy, unfortunately her doors have closed. For our American friends who would like to indulge, I'll meet you at Leunig's Bistro in Burlington, Vermont for a twist on this favourite, Confit Duck Poutine; to our Canadian friends I promise getting a passport will be worth this one.
Ok, one more. Let's not forget butter tarts. Butter, sugar, eggs and sometimes raisins all baked in a delicious crust! Goodness in just a few bites!"
Did we mention dill pickle chips, the magnificent Bloody Caesar, smoked salmon, Montreal style bagels and Saskatoon berry pie! Hungry yet? We'll get to the maple syrup later!

I love Nanaimo squares and butter tarts!
Poutine and Nanaimo bars make me ? happy.
I know it's weird, but I think Nanaimo bars are too sweet, but I love butter tarts! No rhyme nor reason to that one… Also, poutine is wonderful!
watching some of the cooking shows.
Have to try it sometime.
I love all the foods mentioned…who wouldn't. I grew up in Leamington, home of the delicious tomatoes which went into making Heinz ketchup although sadly they don't anymore, however, French's stepped up to the plate so Yeah! There is nothing like the taste of a fresh Leamington tomato/ If you get the chance to visit, check out the big tomato in town which is a tourist information booth.
Yum! Dull pickle chips, Hawkins Cheezies and Smarties! Love our snacks!
Mmm… Yummy!!! They looks delicious!!!
Yummy foods all! I love everything on the list!
I will admit I am a Canadian who puts Ketchup on everything. Love my Ketchup chips! But I have to say I would never pass up a Nanaimo Bar.
Mmmm….all my guilty pleasures! These are all great but my favourite has to be butter tarts. Whoever invented these is a Canadian genius. Happy Birthday, Canada!
Happy Birthday, Canada! I love tarts! My grandmother always made them and now my mother and I make them.
There will be thousands of tarts and nanaimo bars consumed today along with poutine and/or french fries and ketchup!!
As a teen I worked at a little snack bar that was run by a wonderful Canadian man who came to know my love of poutine! After he closed down for the winter he would make me a poutine survival package once a month. It consisted of a gallon jar of his homemade gravy, a bag of curd cheese and a 5lb bag of potatoes so I could still get my fix!
Years later, he made poutine for all of our wedding guests! I really miss him and my poutine fixes! I guess I will have to get my enhanced license so I can go to Canada for poutine regularly!
I have never heard of the Nanaimo bars but they look ? yummy! TFS!
Happy 150 Canada from the prairies!
Coffee crisp! A delicious Canadian treat is one of my favorite foods!
Love Nanaimo bars and butter tarts. I don't put catsup on anything (although hubby does). Do not like KD. Canada sells the most varieties of chocolate bars! Hurray for Canadian food!
going to try the nanaimo bars that will be a first for me.
Poutine – oh my! Born and raised on Quebec, the birthplace of poutine it was definitely a favourite. Now if someone would just create a gluten and dairy free option I woukd be in heaven!
So hard to pick my favourite, they're all delicious!
Happy Birthdat Canada! Loving the Canadian facts. My fav treat are Nanaimo bars. Love them.
Happy Canada Day everyone! We have a lot to be thankful for. We live in an amazing country!! May we all live in peace and harmony.
I need a cup of Tim Hortons to go with all these!
Nanaimo bars sound absolutely delicious. Will have to try them soon!
I love to eat entire Nanaimo bar! All of it is good. Butter tarts yum! Poutine…not so much. Love our Canadian money! So fun and colourfulness!
My Mom made the best butter tarts in the world. Every time I eat one I think of her.
Gosh, I've forgotten about the Nanaimo Bars. How could that happen. Will be making them this week for sure!!!
I've always had a passion for Ketchup. I even carried a bottle of it around with me in my car. One Halloween night, I was stopped by a policeman and he made me put my Ketchup in the trunk of my car. I guess he thought I was going to splatter it on a building or something. To this day, I don't know why he stopped me.
Mmmm our celebrations are centred around eating today ?
Ok – you're making me SO hungry! Love French fries and pies, so poutine and butter tarts both sound delicious! Happy Canada Day!
Making me hungry…off to put maple syrup on pancakes!
This all looks yummy –esp the dessert.
Wow, such interesting food facts… I had no idea that Nanaimo bars were a Canadian recipe….they are one of my favourite desserts to eat and so addictive! Thanks for all of the fun info..I am enjoying your blog today with all of these photos and fun facts!
Love nanaimo bars and butter tarts! And lots of maple syrup! We do live in a great country!
Oh yummy! Great Canadian dishes and now I NEED some poutine!!! And a butter tart!
I love learning all of these great things about Canada. Very interesting.
I love all of these tried and true Canadian favourites!!
I love Nanaimo bars! Happy Canada Day from Saskatchewan ??!
Going to make those bars for the 4th of July in Utah!!
Yummy! I have not tried any of these dishes, but that's about to change. Thanks for the dessert recipe, can't wait to try it.
Can someone please hand me a Nanaimo bar and a butter tart? Would love the try those. As for gravy on french fries? No thank you. And I only use ketchup sparingly, e.g. with a croque monsieur ('tosti' in Dutch).
I have tried all of these Canadian yummies but they are more of a "treat" than a regular part of my diet. I did not know the fun fact about Kraft Dinner but it makes sense now that I see it! Thank you for celebrating Canada 150 in style! I am so happy to be Canadian!
Thanks for sharing these fun Canadian food facts – always fun to learn about another country!
But I do LOVE butter tarts!
Happy Canada Day from British Columbia.
Mmmmn… been debating making poutine for dinner tonight! I think it's happening!
Love the recap of our fave foods 🙂 I do love ketchup but maybe not as much as others … in my world, the only places it belongs is on fries, hashbrowns, meatloaf and burgers!!!
I am getting really hungry now. I have made Nanaimo bars for years. At Christmas I add some green food colouring and mint flavouring. After the first time I now HAVE to make them. Be sure you know what you are getting into before you start! lol And yes, always make sure they are chilled before cutting and serving. Not a good summer time treat. Better saved for cool temps.
As for poutine, if you aren't putting the cheese on top of the fries the second they come out of the fryer so the curds are melting down around the golden potatoes before you even add the scalding hot gravy, don't bother wasting your time. Seriously, who wants cold clumps of cheese?
And the butter tarts. Mmmmmm….with our without the little raisins, they are always a temptation.
So much fun food has come out of our country. We know how to eat!
It all sounds delicious and I am sure they have less calories in Canada, since we use the metric system ? Happy Canada Day!
Sweet Treats, Canada!!!! Happy Birthday!
Oooh, Bakeapple Buckle. There's something no one in America has ever heard of. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
All of the food you shared look and sound yummy. Now I need to go to Canada so that I can try some of them.
I have never had any of these treats, but they all sound delish!
I could go for the nanaimo bars and the butter tarts. Those both sound yummy !
So my kids would be very happy in Canada putting ketchup on everything? I'd love to try butter tarts, and basically, everything else mentioned!
I love our Canadian foods!!
So many yummy Canadian foods! Happy Canada Day!
Hasn't every Canadian lived on KD at one time or another????? Happy Canada Day!
i am eating ketchup chips right now and some ketchup on my hotdog!
Yummm! Butter Tarts and Nanaimo Squares. Thanks for the recipe. Can't wait to try it.
Can't wait to try some of these…maybe in Cornwall?!
Love the foods of Canada! Yum! thanks for the chance to win!
OMG – which do I love more….nanaimo bars or butter tarts!
I love all the Canadian food you posted,! Thank you so much!
What's not to love about all those Canadian foods.
Oh yummy! Must try these!
It's so hard to pick authentic Canadian cuisine but these are a great start! I love Nanaimo bars!
Poutine and butter tarts – a perfect Canadian feast!
Yum! The nanaimo bars look awesome!
Nanaimo Bars are the best and I had one today. Happy Canada Day Everyone.
I used to love Nanaimo bars!! Ohhhh so good…. one of the things I miss but have not looked for a tree but free recipe. And poutine. .. yum!! That's it. Just yum!
Nanaimo bar cheesecake for Canada Day, enough said!
Yummy…my mouth is watering with these delicious Canadian treats.
Love poutine! A staple in my home!
Ketchup on almost everything is common in Sweden aswell.
Your Canadian food selections are terrific. I did not realize that butter tarts were Canadian until I attended the recent Buttertart Festival in Midland. While waiting in line I met a gentleman from the USA who told me he had come up to Canada in order to get himself some butter tarts!!! Just another reason Canada is so terrific!!! ❤?? Who else would like buttertarts when they are scrapbooking?? what a great combination!!!
Butter tarts my fave! ??
Ooh, the butter tarts look fabulous! I haven't heard of nanaimo either. So delicious-looking.
What a fun day! Thanks for the chance to win something.
Butter tarts!!!! Now I have to go and make some!!
Some of all the great food found in Canada. Thanks SCT for the great facts of our great country.
Some of my favorite memories include the Canadian food you have mentioned! Who could resist such treats?
A poutine and a Jos Louis, the lunch of Canadian champions! Loved eating these treats as a kid. You certainly had my mouth watering with all the amazing Canadian favourites!
I used to work for a Canadian software company and learnt to make Nanaimo bars after trying them. One of my colleagues used to regularly bring in butter tarts – delicious! Would love to try poutine one day.
My grandma made the best nanaimo bars and butter tarts. Although I've found delicious ones made by other people, they aren't quite the same – probably because they are missing her special ingredient love. Whenever I have either one of them, I think of my grandma.
I love Nanaimo bars. My very favourite treat, and thank you for including a recipe. So many delicious food memories here.
But, please let's not forget, fresh lobster from PEI, fiddle heads, sugar pie from Quebec City (a close relation to butter tarts), hawberry jam from Manitoulin Island, fresh wild salmon from BC or delicious Alberta beef.
And so many more other amazing foods, some I have tried and others I look forward to .
Nanaimo bars are not my favourite! Too sweet. I'll eat a butter tart once in awhile but again, too sweet most of the time. I seldom eat fries or ketchup – sorry, vegetarian and healthy eater (most of the time) but hubby loves anything sweet.
Happy Canada Day !!! These hourly posts are a super creative way to honour our fabulous country. Nanaimo bars and butter tarts – so yummy!
I love the food facts. I have the bar recipe pinned to make in the future.
Nanaimo bars are soooo good. All the layers!
Yummy butter tarts. Happy Canada Day ??
I think my husband must be secretly Canadian for his love of ketchup!
The fun facts are great. Thank you. Would love to win the Canada stamp and die set. Great ideas from your blog. Keep up the good work!
I tried delicious Nanaimo Bars when in Canada, but also icewine and maple whisky.Though I think the whisky is probably drunk more by visitors than locals. Canadian club is a massive favourite here in Australia.
I grew up in Eastern Canada and we ate tweed squares. Still a great treat.
Thank you very much for this wonderful homage to Canada and its marvelous opportunities. Having had the opportunity to visit Vancouver Island, those Nanaimo bars hold a special place in my sweet heart. Cheers!
Now I'm very hungry after reading that! Happy 150th Canada!
I had on Canada Day a Nanaimo Bar Buttertart….the two together is magical!! If you get a chance go to the The Magic Pin in Peterborough and try one!! Delicious!!


Assault and battery are actually two separate charges though they are commonly grouped together. Assault is the attempt or threat to do harm to another. Although assault and battery is commonly charged when one person strikes another, no actual physical impact needs to be made for an assault to have occurred. Battery occurs when there is physical contact between the attacker and the victim. Battery requires more than just a verbal threat - it is forceful.
If you have been charged with assault and battery you should obtain skilled legal counsel immediately. Attorney Yoder and Attorney DiCaudo have extensive experience on both sides of the courtroom - as former prosecutors with over 30 years combined experience and as criminal defense lawyers. This prosecutorial experience gives them insight as to how prosecution will build a case against you, and therefore how to more effectively defend it. Speak to an Akron criminal defense lawyer today to find out how we can best represent your case.
Assault and battery may be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the severity of the offense. If convicted of a violent crime such as assault & battery or domestic violence, penalties may be harsh, potentially including a prison sentence and high bail or even no bail. Beyond this a criminal record for a violent crime can have secondary consequences down the line.
If you have been charged with assault and battery, it is vital that you have skilled legal representation that can thoroughly investigate your case and mount a strong defense. We will work on effective defense strategies and aggressively fight your case.
Contact an Akron assault and battery attorney to find out how our experienced team can aggressively defend you.
