It's never too early to plan for Munich Oktoberfest and celebrations around the world!
Oktoberfest is located at Theresienwiese festival grounds in downtown Munich. You'll see where the beer tents and festival grounds, or simply wiesn, are. Oktoberfest Munich is about 40 minutes from Munich Airport – MUC by car, taxi or public transit. S-Bahn rail ticket machines, which accept credit cards, and currency exchange counters are at the airport and Hauptbahnhof main train station.
Directions to Oktoberfest Munich from airport: the S1 or S8 line is convenient as parking is limited downtown and driving may run into traffic. You can take either line to the Hackerbrücke station very near the festival, or to Hauptbahnhof main train station east of the festival and walk about 15 mins. to the Oktoberfest grounds. Or for the closest stop, transfer at Hauptbahnhof to the U-Bahn U4 or U5 underground Munich subway line in the direction of Theresienwiese (1 stop) and exit there. See Oktoberfest map below.
Oktoberfest food selection varies by tent but often available are Bavarian and German favorites like roast chicken, pork schnitzel or cutlet, variety of braised or pickled vegetables, bratwurst, spätzle egg noodles, desserts like black forest cake with cherries, and the famous large, baked pretzels. Oktoberfest has been introducing new food options; see FAQ below.
Entrance to explore Munich Oktoberfest is free; you pay for drinks and food in the beer tents or kiosks when you order. Tickets and reservations are not generally needed for Oktoberfest in Munich. You may be able to reserve a table if you'd like at some tents in advance of when you and your guests sit, but it can be better simply to arrive early in the day and choose a table at a tent. Some attractions, like carnival rides and special exhibitions, may require a fee. The price for a mug or 'mass' of beer (Maß), which is one liter or about two pints, is generally around 10.50 euro or about 11.70 USD or 8.70 GBP by comparison.
Security at Oktoberfest Munich's entrances and grounds has always been visible, but security for Oktoberfest 2018 will continue to be tighter as at big events around the world. There will likely be more vegan and vegetarian food options and around a three percent increase in beer prices at Oktoberfest. Bags are examined as usual upon entering so don't bring anything that could be deemed hazardous, and it is best to carry just essential belongings in a tote or shopping bag. Backpacks and other larger bags may be prohibited at Oktoberfest this year in Munich, and the security requirements could change at the last minute. There has usually been a baggage deposit area if you need to leave bags awhile, or you can opt to rent a locker at the main train station. Also it's generally advised to consume beverages or food you brought before entering, as they may be taken by security given that food and beverages are available.
As Bavaria is by the German Alps, autumn weather in Munich during Sept.-Oct. of Oktoberfest can be changeable so be prepared for cooler fall temps or rain gear if needed; average temperatures in Munich for Oktoberfest in September – October are 18°C daytime (65°F) and 7°C at night (45°F). Here's the forecast. While the tents are warm, there's much for travellers to see on the Oktoberfest Munich grounds! This photo was taken above Oktoberfest on the ferris wheel.
– The best travel tip for Munich Oktoberfest: arrive early, before noon – especially on weekends – as beer tents can fill up in the afternoons.
– Pick a tent or two to experience in any single day, rather than trying to sit in many of them as you may not find a seat later on.
– Bring cash with you as some tents or attractions may accept cash only.
– Tipping, e.g. by rounding up to the nearest euro or about 5-10 percent at the festival is generally appreciated; give your tip directly to the wait staff.
– Stay hydrated; ask for water or seltzer if you need it in the tents.
– Keep your passport in your front pocket, tucked away in your purse or money belt – about 500-600 passports have been routinely lost and some found during the festival!
– Children are welcome on the grounds accompanied as there are things to do for family travel like historical exhibits, tasting German food and carnival rides, but all kids under the age of six must leave festival tents at 8pm local time.
– Smoking isn't allowed in the festival tents, bars or restaurants.
– There's much to explore around Oktoberfest Munich 2018, so if you have time, visit Marienplatz square and other nearby sights of the city, shopping, the beer gardens and restaurants in historic Munich too!

What else is there to do at Oktoberfest?
It's a good idea to plan for most of a day or two at Oktoberfest if you can.

Yes, Pokemon Go is and we'll see whether a PokeStop might be the Oktoberfest grounds, Theresienwiese, or other fun places in Munich then.
What other services are on the grounds?
There are first aid stations all around the festival grounds, ATM cash machines, souvenir shops as well as a Service Center located behind the Schottenhamel tent near the center of the festival for missing children and lost items on the grounds.

Which days are best to visit Oktoberfest?
If you like a bigger Munich celebration, then weekends – the last weekend is also a German holiday weeekend for the Day of German Unity, celebrating the anniversary of German reunification. If you prefer fewer crowds at the tents, then the weekdays or early in the day on the weekends. Oktoberfest goes on rain or shine.
How many people work at Oktoberfest?

Are there vegetarian or vegan Oktoberfest food options?
More Oktoberfest tents and vendors are serving vegetarian or vegan options such as a variety of appetizers like pretzels, dips and salads including potato, macaroni or mixed veggie salads; as a tip, let the server know you'd like the vegetarian or vegan option so it's made with no bacon, etc. Oktoberfest 2018 will likely continue to have a yogurt stand with a soy milk option and pasta dishes.

Texas A&M Professor Under Investigation For Anti-Trump and Anti-Republican Postings
Texas A&M anthropology professor Filipe Castro has triggered a firestorm of controversy after postings calling President Donald Trump a "fat klansman" and saying that is a "good thing" that Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) contracted Covit-19. The Texas A&M Board of Regents issued a statement condemning the statements which is fine. However, there is also an investigation that raises free speech concerns over a faculty member being able to express political views — even highly offensive views — outside of his teaching responsibilities or role.
The site Campus Reform raised the social media postings and reported that Dean of the College of Liberal Arts Pamela R. Matthews confirmed that the university is "looking into" the matter. It also reported that "a separate but unconfirmed email" said that the Texas A&M Office of Risk, Ethics, and Compliance has opened an investigation into Castro.
Castro posted the comments on Facebook including:
•"We have a moron as president and everyday [sic] he paints the walls of the Oval Office with his own shit, and the republicans- including Lying Ted [Cruz] and [John] Corny Cornyn- clean the walls and the carpet, wipe the drool of [sic] his mouth, and pretend that he is normal."
• Denouncing White House advisor Stephen Miller, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, and calling to "lock them in some institution where we don't have to be confronted with their vulgarity and their stupidity."
•Stating with reference to Tesla founder Elon Musk, Castro said "we must build that guillotine" for Tesla founder Elon Musk, who he also called a "parasite" and said "we will come for you, Elon, with a spray for pubic lice."
•Described Melania Trump as "bought from a catalog."
•Called President Trump a "fat klansman."
•Called Trump officials collectively "savages and misfits all physically deformed and resentful of their deformities."
•Stated "Covid kills the poor. It also kills some stupid, like Herman Cain, but mostly kills the poor."
•"I always though [sic] that this was going to have a normal end, with trump having a heart attack on top of his daughter and crushing her with his fat, and Kushner having to try to resuscitate her (for the money) from drawing in trump's vomit of Pepsi and half-chewed chicken nuggets, swallowed in big chucks…"
•He celebrated Gohmert getting Covit-19 as "good news."
These (and a string of anti-religion postings) have been detailed by critics.
These are highly disturbing and hateful postings. I admit that some, like the crushing of Trump's daughter, seem deranged. At best, most of the postings are viral, hateful expressions of Castro's political and religious beliefs.
As will surprise no one on this blog, I tend to resolve such questions in favor of free speech. Castro's comments are disgraceful and disgusting. However, if schools are going to regulate such political comments, it is hard to see how and where the line would be drawn. The subjectivity or bias in such investigations remains a concern in past controversies. The lack of clarity on the standard would result in a chilling effect on faculty and students being able to express their views on political or social issues. The question should be whether such disturbing views were expressed in his classes or as part of his work on campus. Otherwise, I still view the comments as protected speech.
Free speech often requires support for those with not just unpopular but obnoxious views. Professor Castro is the price we pay for free speech. The alternative is to regulate political speech by faculty and students outside of a university — a prospect that is far more costly than the ravings of an academic.

This is absurd x XXii says:
Did you catch this bit of wisdom and good humor from one of the issue of our universities?

Where's the line drawn?
Hank Williams, Jr. (fired by ESPN for making a lame joke about Obama on his own time)
the late R. Lee Ermey (fired by GEICO for appearing at an anti-Obama rally on his own time)
Jofi Joseph (the Obama national security advisor fired for his anonymous Tweets made during/after the novation of the deal with Iran's mullahs)
Gen. Stanley McChrystal, US Army (over a lame joke he made about Obama during a Rolling Stone interview
Roseanne Barr (fired by Disney after making a lame joke about Obama's former chief of staff)
None of the jokes and comments I allude to were as obscene, hateful, laced with hopes for violence to befall their subjects or nauseatingly biological as Professor Castro's.
Janet Cascio says:
Well, stated and so true! Castro is is obusive and not a professional! Nasty and does not reflect the University's standards! Free speech but rude and nasty!'
Jack Clancy says:
Just cut all Federal Funding.
True! Cut feds funding!
Jeffrey Silberman says:
JT: "if schools are going to regulate such political comments, it is hard to see how and where the line would be drawn." It is hard to know where one draws the line in statutory rape. Some States have said 16, some 14, etc. That it is somewhat arbitrary and hard to do so does not preclude the necessity to draw a line. We can argue where to draw it, but some harmful speech should be penalized if not prosecuted. Penalization should be financial loss and social ostracism, not imprisonment.
Mr Kurtz says:
Here is a little mob of white BLMers it seems, physically surrounding and intimidating a white lady who won't raise her fist for black supremacy
the police should be called and they all should be arrested for intimidation and racketeering.
meanwhile, if they want to keep on pushing the envelope, people gonna push back
https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1298677797561536513?s=20
Democrats must disavow this conduct or it's clear they are fully on board with criminal acts to intimidate the voters. Isnt that right., We already know of course, Won't hold our breath waiting, it's up to three months of insurrection now. .
Kurtz, I agree that there ought not to be any intimidation or harassment. The kind of ostracism I'm referring to is milder, e.g., being impolite, casting dirty looks, flipping the bird. The kind of conduct you would feel appropriate were you to run into AOC.
I am going to suggest the Pamela Matthews get some intensive psychological care, as well as be remove from her office. And for goodness sake, don't let her teach.
Independent Bob says:
I don't agree with this guy, but he has a free speech rite. Being stupid should not be illegal. The courtroom of public opinion is always in session. Let the people make their verdicts.
This is just another "ignoramus" parading as an educator. He is just one more rabid Trump-hater — who denounces every elected Republican and everyone who works in a Republican administration while hating every person who votes for a Republican. Taxpayers, students and their parents and those who provide scholarships are paying him while he disgraces Texas A&M.

Środkiem tyłu głowy, przedplecza i tarczki biegnie jedno jaśniejsze, niepunktowane żeberko, które może być słabo dostrzegalne. Boczne brzegi przedplecza i przednio-boczne kąty tarczki są niepunktowane i trochę rozjaśnione. Tarczka jest w tylnej połowie węższa niż w rejonie nasadowym i co najwyżej nieco wykracza poza przykrywkę półpokryw, która z kolei na całej powierzchni jest ciemno punktowana. Na pleurytach zatułowia wyraźnie widoczne są ujścia gruczołów zapachowych wraz z krótkimi i na końcu zaokrąglonymi kanałami wyprowadzającymi. Odwłok ma listewkę brzeżną czarną z jasnymi krawędziami.

Vernon's Noric House long-term care facility is dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak. (File photo)
COVID-19 cases double at Vernon care home
Virus infects 10 more residents at Noric House
The novel coronavirus has infected 10 more residents at Vernon's Noric House.
Interior Health case reporting on Thursday, Jan. 8 shows the number of cases has doubled at the long-term care facility from the day prior.
Noric House has 20 cases: 18 are residents and two are staff. That is up from eight residents and two staff reported Wednesday, Jan. 6.
There are still 13 cases at Creekside Landing. Ten of those are residents and three are staff.
Cases at Heritage Square remain at 31 cases: 21 residents and 10 staff, with two deaths connected to this outbreak.
"There will continue to be fluctuations in our numbers as cases are verified," Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said. "That is why the seven-day average is important to pay attention to. The daily case count is only a snapshot on a given day, at a given time."

As the risk of spread of COVID-19 remains extremely high and new cases and clusters continue to emerge, Henry announced the extension of restrictions.
"Here in B.C., we are and will continue to do all we can to protect our province, and we ask everyone to do the same."
The current provincial health officer's orders on all gatherings and events have been extended through to Feb. 5, 2021, at midnight. The same restriction, including on social gatherings in people's homes and in public venues, and all events and sports activities continue to apply.
"We need to hold the line with the public health orders for the next two incubation periods – one month – to ensure we are doing all we can to keep everyone in the province as safe as possible," Henry said. "These orders enable our health-care system, schools and essential workplaces to continue to stay open, which is important for all of us."

Oberon 2004Scottish Opera
Read more about the opera Oberon
Edinburgh's major visiting company in 2004 was from Germany, but a Festival newcomer, the Hanover State Opera. In a mere four performances they presented the work of three of Europe's most controversial 'concept' direction teams. The single performance of Il trovatore, never presented at a previous Festival, was directed by the never-dull Catalan Calixto Bieito, whose production of Celestina for Birmingham Rep was also seen at the Festival. Peter Konwitschny's production was of Nono's massive Al gran sole carico d'amore, while Jossi Wieler and Sergio Morabito took a fresh look at Pelléas et Mélisande, given two performances to end the visit. The final opera was Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice, presented by Opera North in a co-production with Emio Greco I PC. There were four operas given in concert at the Usher Hall. A stimulating series gave a survey of the three major Weber operas - Der Freischütz, Euryanthe and Oberon. The first two had not been seen in Edinburgh in half a century. There was an excellent Bartók evening, including Duke Bluebeard's Castle. The final offering saw a vintage cast assembled for Strauss' Capriccio.
This concert performance was Scottish Opera's contribution to Weber year at the Festival, and made amends, to some extent, for the travesty of the work perpetrated back in 1985.
Richard Armstrong produced a dramatic account of the score. Peter Bronder had the technique vital for the difficulties of Huon's music, and if he didn't quite have heldentenor reserves of power his tone was refined enough to project well. Barry Banks was developing into an excellent character tenor able to tackle high-lying romantic roles as required. Elizabeth Whitehouse returned to the company for the first time since her Fidelio, a similar role vocally. Jane Irwin and Garry Magee both gave accomplished performances as the subsidiary couple.
While Planché's original text is a great improvement on the ghastly nonsense produced by Anthony Burgess back in 1985, it still presents huge problems in performance, so the lovely music is unlikely to be performed frequently.

Why we hold onto things we don't need — and how to let them go, according to experts
Rachel Grumman Bender
Letting go of stuff, even if you no longer need or use it, can be hard. Here's how to make it easier, according to experts. (Photo: Getty Images)
No in the New Year is Yahoo Life's series about the power of saying no, establishing boundaries and prioritizing your own physical and mental health.
Anyone who has ever cleaned out their closet, or even a junk drawer, knows how hard it can be to let go of stuff. Even if you know logically that you no longer need it, it's easy to second-guess yourself. What if you donate that purple sweater and then finally find the perfect outfit to go with it? What if you give away the fondue set that's still in the box and then have a craving for fondue six months later?
The feeling is universal, according to experts. "All of us have trouble letting go of stuff," Dr. Carolyn Rodriguez, the director of the Translational Therapeutics Lab and an associate professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University, tells Yahoo Life. "All of us hold on to items that we may not need."
Why is it hard to let go?
When we're unable to get rid of possessions we no longer need or never used, it's usually because of one of three reasons: "We spent money and/or time procuring the item, and don't want to admit it was fruitless," Amy Trager, a certified professional organizer, tells Yahoo Life. "Or, we really think we might use it again someday. Or, we feel guilty getting rid of whatever it is."
Trager says that most of us have made "an impulse buy or bought something we intended to use, but never did," adding, "It's hard to admit that it was all for naught. Maybe we're really truly intending to someday do that thing we hoped we always would. But, chances are if it's been laying around the house for a long time, we aren't going to."
In some cases, we keep possessions out of guilt "because of who gave it to us," Trager says. "We're convinced — sometimes rightfully, and sometimes not — that the gift giver will know if the item isn't in our home anymore. Or, we know there were good intentions, so we feel bad donating that picture frame that doesn't match our decor or any size photo we own."
Clothing items, of course, can be notoriously hard for people to part with — particularly clothes we used to be able to fit into. "It really can be a challenge," says Trager. "Often, we tell ourselves it's motivation to lose the weight. But, in reality, it's a constant reminder in the closet that we aren't the size we hoped to be."
When helping a client revamp their closet, Trager asks them if "realistically, by the time they are that size again, is it a piece of fashion they'd even want to wear again?" she says. "Was it comfortable? Fashionable? A part of your current lifestyle and wardrobe?" If the answer is no, then it can help them let it go.
It can also be hard to part with certain pieces of clothing that people associate with part of their identity, such as when they were in college or before they had kids. Some may think: "'If I'm no longer fitting into the clothes that I wore at a particular point in my life, then that means I'm not that person anymore,'" says Rodriguez, "but that's not true. We evolve, our tastes change."
Rodriguez adds: "You don't need to hold onto a physical item to know your value or your worth. And you can just rebuy it if you need to. But right now, it's weighing you down with volume and space."
When it's a sign of an underlying problem
It's common to have a bit of a tough time parting with possessions you liked but don't need anymore. But if you're consistently struggling with and are significantly distressed about letting go of items that no longer (or never did) serve a purpose in your life, that can be a sign of a mental health issue, such as hoarding disorder.
According to the International OCD Foundation, there are three signs that, together, signal a hoarding disorder: "A person collects and keeps a lot of items, even things that appear useless or of little value to most people. These items clutter the living spaces and keep the person from using the rooms as they were intended. These items cause distress or problems in day-to-day activities."
This isn't to be confused with collecting, such as bobbleheads or stamps. "Collecting is different in that a lot of people see it as a pleasurable activity," says Rodriguez. "It brings them great joy and there's a level of organization, unlike hoarding disorder where it's a mix of items and they may be embarrassed about it." (The International OCD Foundation has a resource directory for therapists, clinics and treatment programs for hoarding disorder on their site.)
How to let go of stuff you no longer need
In general, Trager recommends following this advice when deciding whether or not to purge an item in your house: "A good rule of thumb for everyday items is that if it hasn't been used in the last year, it likely won't get used again," says Trager. "For more seasonal or specialty items, the time frame can be stretched a bit. But, if something's been in its original box in the basement for years, the chances you will use it are slim to none."
1. Set aside time for the task
Rather than spontaneously launching into cleaning out a closet or a series of drawers in your kitchen, both Rodriguez and Trager recommend setting aside some time to focus on organizing an area.
"Figure out when you will really be able to focus on the task at hand without distractions like kids coming home from school or work emails dinging in the background," suggests Trager. "Schedule time into your calendar like any other important appointment."
Rodriguez also recommends "budgeting more time than you think you'll need." That's because "people aren't accounting for the emotions," she says. "You never know if you're going into a mystery drawer and may run into an item that was your grandmother's. You want to take time to think about that memory and feeling or talk about a loved one. That takes time. They're meaningful objects."
2. Have supplies on hand
Both Rodriguez and Trager recommend having a few supplies on hand to stay organized — such as garbage bags or bins for different items. "So things you want to keep, donate, and throw away," suggests Rodriguez, along with items to recycle.
3. Start small
When cleaning out or organizing an area, Rodriguez suggests not putting "the goal so high that it's overwhelming." Instead, start small, such as focusing on a specific category like books, makeup, or water bottles. "One square foot at a time — that mantra helps to reign it in," says Rodriguez. It also "builds a nice momentum," she says. "You get a little positive reward and then you can do something bigger."
Another reason to start small? "When you unclutter it can look worse before it looks better, so make sure you're not biting off more than you can chew," says Rodriguez.
She also suggests starting where you can clearly see the benefits. For example, "if your bedside table is the area where you want to start, that's a great goal because every time you wake up in the morning you can see it's uncluttered," Rodriguez points out. "When you see it, you can get that sense of accomplishment."
4. Work through any feelings that come up
If you're feeling unsure or a bit anxious about letting go of certain sentimental possessions even though you know it's likely time, Trager points out that "there are things we can do to help us remember the item" without physically keeping it.
For example, "we can snap a photo of it before it leaves the house," Trager suggests. "We can re-purpose it into something else — for example, a t-shirt quilt. We can journal a story about why it's so important. Most powerfully, we can make sure it gets into the hands of someone else who will love and use it."
Rodriguez agrees, suggesting that "thinking about others that may need the item more and donating to those in need" can help you let it go.
The benefits of decluttering
Experts say there are several benefits to getting rid of, recycling, or donating items you no longer need. "We instantly feel lighter," says Trager. "Our outer space very often reflects our inner selves. The calmer our space around us becomes, the easier it becomes to create a calmer self."
Rodriguez adds that "decluttering can save you time," making it easier to find the items you need in your home.
Trager agrees, saying that, by decluttering, "we can make space for whatever else we want in our lives — a new activity, a new person in our home, or just some open space. There can also be some charitable satisfaction that we've given things to people that may not have been able to access those items easily. The things move on to new lives in new homes, where they'll be used and enjoyed."

A former ivy and bamboo-filled ravine was transformed into a series of cascading pools lined with azaleas, woodland plants and more than 80 varieties of Japanese maple. Beck's construction team created the ravine-like rill and stream that follows the natural contours of the site. The garden includes extensive stone work, weirs, screen walls, border-forming boulders and aggregate walkway. A large entry plaza connects the garden to the 'Paseo de Flores', the Arboretum's main walkway. A stone bridge halfway down the stream provides pedestrian access from the adjacent DeGolyer garden to the Martin Rutchik Concert Lawn.

Our exploration of the universe is revealing alien worlds with gigantic storm systems that encircle entire planets, supersonic winds and extreme temperatures. On some planets, temperatures are so hot that the clouds and rain are believed to be made of liquid lava droplets, and on other planets it is thought to rain precious stones. We thought we had extreme weather on Earth, but it turns out that it is nothing compared to what's out there.

Monticello's Community Hub gets $200K state grant
Mike Randall
Times Herald-Record
MONTICELLLO – The St. John Street School Community Hub will receive a $200,000 State and Municipal Facilities capital grant that will aim to make the already successful after-school program even better.
State Sen. Jen Metzger announced the funding Tuesday morning on the steps of the Hub.
The after-school program is currently on hiatus, like many other programs during the coronavirus pandemic.
Martin Colavito, director of the Hub, was among those who joined the news conference to thank Metzger for her support of the program. He said they are taking advantage of the down time to make improvements to the center.
"While others are panicking, we're planning," Colavito said.
Eventually, he hopes to make the Hub a place that caters to students of all ages, including senior citizens.
The Hub offers students from the Monticello school district free tutoring; educates them about things like substance abuse, nutrition and dental hygiene; and also gives them a chance to relax and play basketball, ping pong and board games.
Colavito told the Record earlier this year that a month after it opened during the last school year, it already was drawing 50 to 60 kids on a typical day. It was open into the early evening hours.
Metzger, said it is exactly what is needed in the community.
"Our kids face a lot of challenges," Metzger said. "If we want them to succeed, we have to create the conditions for them to thrive."
"I grew up in a family that struggled," Metzger recalled. If there had been something like the Hub around back then, she said, "I would have been there every day."
The building is owned by the Monticello school district.
School board president Lori Orestano-James said she's grateful a way was found to repurpose the building, which is on the New York State Register of Historic Places.
She said the south side of the building was built in 1894 and originally housed grades K through 8. A central part of the building was added in 1934 as part of the Works Progress Administration, one of the programs created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. She said it has one of the finest natural theaters around.
"They don't make buildings like this anymore," she said.
Orestano-James recalled discussing the advantages of such a center with Metzger when she was just a candidate for office.
Matthew Evans, who recently was hired as Monticello's new superintendent of schools, said the grant will help with the purchase of laptops, better wi-fi access and other technology purchases, as well as physical plant improvements.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West spent some quality time together last night pretending to be aliens and smoking, what appears to be, some marijuana. At first glance, the couple, who did some Photobooth mastery to make their heads look like aliens, appears to be having innocent fun. But as you look closer you can see that they might be having a little too much fun, as Kanye appears to be holding a small white object that looks like it might be something a bit stronger than a normal cigarette.
To think that there was a time when Kim Kardashian was considered the mild-mannered one who chose to stay away from just about everything, including alcohol. Now she can be seen indulging in a cocktail every now and again and truly livin' it up. Maybe Kanye West is getting her to loosen up a bit? Or maybe Kanye is a bad influence on this Kardashian and we should do an intervention so he doesn't continue to *gasp* corrupt her even more.
What do you think of the pics? Do you think Kim and Kanye were smoking something they shouldn't have been smoking? Let us know what you're thinking in the comments section below.
