Does he have a hairy dick?

There is this guy that I really like, and from what some have said, he likes me back as well. We share the same circle of friends. Anyway, I found out that his Grindr profile has a shirtless pic of himself. And he has been hooking up with a mutual friend of ours (I guess they're fuck buddies). Why they are not together, I don't know. For some reason, these kinda bother me. He is late 20's and I am 31, but I just feel like there is a generation-gap between us when it comes to sex. I don't know. I grew up Catholic and went to Catholic school up to high school. I'm a bit concerned about the fuck buddy thing. Everytime they hang out together (and they're closer than we are -- they were friends before I met him), I'd always wonder if they're still fucking. I like this guy, but I have a hard time imagining dating him. Just imagining getting plowed by random guys from Grindr every night just turns me off. I am quite old-school. I believe in monogamy all that shit. Is there something wrong with me?

My Grandfather died in 1927, and I had no idea when he died or where he was buried until yesterday. I am very happy about finding him, though I am in Boston and may never actually visit it in person. The Archdiocese wants $1500 in back fees for lawn care. If I want to put up a stone, as there is none now, it's another $800 for the foundation fee. Plus $60 for the affidavit fee saying I really am family. Then the stone would be another $600 or more. Plus the yearly fees going forward. Or I could leave do and pay nothing, which is probably how it goes. Poor Otto. I just put up a stone for my other grandparents who died in the 1930s & 1940s, and all it cost was $600. It's a lot of money for people I never met. I do genealogical research as a hobby, which spurs my interest.

Still in prison. Are they lifers, now? Stay tuned.

Olympic diver Tom Daley surprised fans yesterday when he came out and told the world via YouTube that he was dating a man. Now, everyone is wondering who the lucky guy is. Well, we have the answer...and he's an Oscar winner! Sources exclusively tell E! News that Daley has been dating Dustin Lance Black, the 39-year-old writer who won an Academy Award for his screenplay for Milk, the 2008 biopic about gay rights activist legend Harvey Milk (Sean Penn also won an Oscar for playing Milk in the flick). Back in October, Daley and Black were spotted together for the first time, grabbing a snack at The Coffee Bean in Hollywood. Yesterday, Daley posted a touching YouTube video in which he came out as dating a man. "In spring this year, my life changed massively when I met someone and they made me feel so happy, so safe and everything just feels great," the 19-year-old said. "And that someone is a guy. It did take me by surprise a little bit. It was always in the back of my head that something like that could happen, but it wasn't until spring this year that something just clicked. It felt right and I thought, 'OK,' and my whole world changed there and then." He added, "Of course, I still fancy girls, but right now I'm dating a guy and I couldn't be happier." Black returned yesterday to L.A. from a trip to Russia to screen Milk at an LGBT film festival in St. Petersburg with the film's director Gus Van Sant and producers Bruce Cohen and Dan Jinx. Black is currently working on screenplays for Ron Howard's Under the Banner of Heaven and Barefoot Bandit for director Robert Zemeckis. He'll be in Daley's native U.K. in the spring to direct Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. Daley is currently in London, where he posted on his Facebook earlier today, "I'd just like to say a massive thanks for all the support yesterday...it truly was overwhelming xx."

Fit for a queen! Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are planning their very own royal wedding of sorts. The famously over-the-top couple have set their sights on France's famed Palace of Versailles for their much-anticipated nuptials, the new issue of Us Weekly reveals. PHOTOS: Kimye's sweetest moments "Kanye has never been married and wants a big [wedding]," a source tells Us of the "Bound 2" rapper, 36, who has a 6-month-old daughter, North, with his fiancee. Adds another insider: "They are not working with a budget." Indeed, West seems to live by the motto "Go big or go home." When he proposed to Kardashian, 33, in October, he hired a 50-piece orchestra and rented out San Francisco's AT&T Park, which lit up with the words "PLEEEASE MARRY MEEEE!!!" on a giant screen. See more cute pics of Kimye.

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West Planning Wedding at Palace of Versailles

Please leave your judgment at the curb. We have been together for six years and it's time for us both to move on. We've stayed together about five years longer than I wanted to, because of finances and because of codependency. My finances - his codependency. I earn about $28K a year. He earns $130K a year. He just found out the biotech he works for has been sold and he's going to earn a little over $200,000 from stocks PLUS his $40,000 bonus come January. He wants to pay off $50K in debt, and save the rest for a huge downpayment on a house for us. I don't want a house. I want to be free of him. I care about him, but I don't love him. Our relationship is unhealthy. I'm 39, he's 47. I just want a clean break. I want to ask him to give me $50,000. That will still leave him with $190,000 after he pays his debt....plus all the money he makes every year! I don't think this is asking too much. He is a kind person, and he MIGHT give it to me. But of course, he doesn't HAVE to. How can I convince him - how can I win? I'm planning on bringing this up on January 1 so I still have some time to think about it.

I'm a fan of Sonic because of their chili pie. McDonald's Fajitas are good too though they're only available in select locations. Burger King makes me sick.

Fox News is making the Republicans’ House hearing case for them by helping the GOP make the case for impeachment. The House is holding a hearing today (one of four ObamaCare hearings on your tax dollars) on “Presidential power”, alleging that President Obama disregarded the constitution when he tweaked the timing of the implementation of the individual mandate. This precedes impeachment, and that’s why they’re holding this hearing. Megyn Kelly did what Fox does best; she “raised the question” of whether or not Obama has violated his duty. Has the President substituted his judgment over the Congress’ judgment? Watch the December 2 edition of Fox News’ The Kelly File here via Media Matters First “Judge” Andrew Napolitano claimed Obama had let a large group of people off and refused to prosecute them for some kind of quid pro quo, but Megyn Kelly quickly steered him back to the Talking Point of the Day – Healthcare.gov, aka, ObamaScare. Stay on point, Andrew! Kelly reminded Napolitano that they are both lawyers so they know how things work. I beg to differ. I know plenty of ignorant lawyers. Knowing enough about the law to pass the bar says almost nil about understanding government, unless you are a constitutional lawyer (like the President). Or you’ve worked on government (like the President). Working on Fox “News” is a good indicator that you may have difficulty understanding logic and processing facts, or you have sold out so completely that your take on the “law” is pretty worthless. But I digress. Back to impeachments. So Andrew, who also thought the President should be impeached over the sequester pending cuts imposed by Republicans, championed by Republicans and crowed about by Republicans on Andrew’s very own network, announced that the President violated the constitution when he decided to give “exceptions/exemptions” from the obligation of the law to some groups and not to others. Kelly played fair cop with Napolitano. “That’s an administrative decision,” she barked. I might remind everyone here that Republicans in Congress make many such decisions – like how oil companies get subsidies but groups of poor people should not, or even other energy groups do not. Fox wants to indict on ideology, apparently. Kelly pretend-pushed him that the executive has the power to make these decisions, so that he could be set up to explain Why It’s Different This Time (aka, ‘cuz Obama did it). This is the Outrage When the Black Man Uses His Authority segment of the program, when the two very white people smirk disdainfully over the “power grab” (assertion of proper authority) of the black person. It’s all very Southern Strategy on Fox. So now we find out what Kelly is going for (aka, what the GOP leadership sent her re their hearing today). Delaying the individual mandate! Sure, “timing” used to fall under the purview of the executive branch, but not anymore, they tell us. The President may not change the date of implementation of a part of a law according to Napolitano. In reality, the President controls policy implementation. That’s his role in the process. By delaying the individual mandate, Obama is simply changing an implementation date, not rewriting the law. And now we come to the landing that sets up the Republican Congressional hearing today. “What’s the remedy, you say impeachment, but can you go into court and challenge him? Can you try to impeach him, how would that happen?” Kelly wonders. Sadly, Napolitano doesn’t think Obama will be impeached because of the experience “we had the last time when Bill Clinton’s eye was off the ball.” Yes. Never mind Iraq, WMD, Katrina, etc. Never mind Nixon. A breach of executive power is best exemplified in Foxland by the delaying of an implementation of a law these people don’t agree with. But Kelly is very sad because impeaching Clinton backfired against the poor Republicans and then Napolitano reminded everyone that if Clinton hadn’t been impeached he wouldn’t have ignored Osama bin Laden, even though he admits that bin Laden attacked “in the early days of the Bush administration”. These are the same people who will whine if you blame Bush correctly for the economic mess the country is in. In their minds, Clinton caused 911 because he should have left office when he was impeached. Try not to get lost in the crazy. Here’s the point of the hearings today, and this is important because it clues us into where they are going. Judge Napolitano tells us that the Republicans may enact a resolution, “Will it lead to impeachment? I don’t know, but it will further diminish and destroy the trust he (Obama) once had with the American people.” That resolution is what could lead to impeachment. Fox is trying to help the Republicans whip up a public fury to call for impeachment. This call for impeachment will be as good as an impeachment for them, because it will allow Republicans to use the soundbites and run against Obama in 2014 instead of having to come up with an actual platform. How does Napolitano know ahead of time, since this was taped yesterday, that Obama will be found guilty in these GOP-led House hearings? Oh, I kid. No one thinks that Republicans are looking for facts.

Fox News Admits the Point of GOP House Hearings is to Impeach Obama

Faith McGregor stepped into the Terminal Barber Shop on Bay St. for a lunch-hour haircut, requesting a butch-style “businessman,’’ short on the sides, tapered, and trim up top. Co-owner Omar Mahrouk demurred, as did two other barbers working that day, explaining that his Muslim faith prohibited him from touching a woman who was not a member of his family. McGregor was displeased, claims to have felt like a second-class citizen, and denounced Mahrouk. “You are sexist,’’ she stated before leaving. “For me it was just a haircut and started out about me being a woman. Now we’re talking about religion versus gender versus human rights and businesses in Ontario,” said McGregor. She filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario almost immediately, saying she felt like a “second-class citizen.” Mahrouk’s response to the tribunal, provided through his lawyer David Kolinsky, doesn’t dispute McGregor’s complaint but says being forced to cut a woman’s hair would violate his freedom of religion. “We live for our values. We are people who have values and we hold on to it. I am not going to change what the faith has stated to us to do. This is not extreme — this is just a basic value that we follow,” said Karim Saaden, co-owner of the Terminal Barber Shop. He noted that it was a matter of adherence to faith, not a gender issue. “In our faith, for instance, I can cut my mother’s hair, I can cut my sister’s hair, I can cut my wife’s hair, my daughter’s hair,” said Saaden. The barbershop suggested a solution to McGregor toward the end of August, offering her a haircut from a barber willing to do so. “It’s the principle of the matter so I turned down their lawyer’s offer and said, ‘No, I wish to continue with the tribunal,’ because this needs to be discussed and now it’s bigger than what occurred with me that one day, in one afternoon,” said McGregor. She is asking the tribunal to force Terminal Barber Shop to offer its men’s haircuts to both genders, and suggests in her application that the shop post a sign indicating it serves both men and women. She is not seeking money. So who do you side with? The Lesbian or the Male Barber?

She's 85. She's been sick for a number of years (diabetes, then heart disease) and her body is apparently in the process of simply shutting down. Her heart, her lungs, her kidneys. Her doctor says she's in pretty bad shape and getting worse. She has days, weeks, maybe months to live. It'll be either her heart or her kidneys that give out. Her death will be an easy one, he says. For her part she's being very philosophical about it all. She knows she's had a good long life and is grateful for that. She doesn't want to leave us, but she sees that it's out of her hands so she's simply accepting it. She's signed a Do Not Resuscitate Order and has refused any medical intervention such as dialysis and life support. All she wants is the meds that keep her going and comfortable. My 92 year old father is, naturally, quite upset but also philosophical. He's also grateful that they had a good long life together and knows that it had to end some day. He's unwell too and I don't think he'll be around too much longer either. They both live in a full-care senior's home. All of their practical and medical needs are taken care of for them. My sisters pop in on them regularly to take care of everything else and just to visit and talk with them (I live on the other side of the country) I know she's old, but it still hurts. It's not tragic or horrible or unnatural. It's just what happens to people when they live that long. But it still hurts. My siblings and I have a lot to be thankful for, certainly. And we'll miss them both terribly when they're gone. But we'll have happy memories of them. I'm not sure why I'm telling Datalounge (of all people) this. I'm actually keeping this pretty private in my real life. I haven't talked about it with anyone except my partner and my siblings. I feel like this is mine and I want to hold it close for a while. I don't want to share it until I have to. Does that even make sense?

A black community college instructor in Minneapolis claims she was formally reprimanded over a discussion on racism in one of her classes. Shannon Gibney, an English faculty member at Minneapolis Community and Technical College, told MCTC student newspaper City College News in a video interview that three white students filed a complaint against her with the school after a discussion on structural racism in one of her communications classes. In the interview, which was posted by the college newspaper to YouTube, Gibney says a white student interrupted her lesson to ask "Why do we have to talk about this in every class?" Another white male in the class then chimed in, Gibney told the student paper, saying he didn't understand either. "It's like people are trying to say that white men are always the villains, the bad guys. Why do we have to say this?" the student asked, according to Gibney. Gibney said that when she told the students that they could file a complaint with the college's legal affairs department if they were so unhappy with the discussion, they took her up on her offer. That led to an official reprimand from the school in early November, she claims. Gibney told The Huffington Post she could not comment further because the case is in appeal. MCTC would not confirm that Gibney had been reprimanded after a student complaint, citing privacy laws. The school did, however, deny reprimanding her for leading a discussion on structural racism. "The college has taken no steps to prohibit faculty members from teaching about racism, including structural racism," college spokeswoman Dawn Skelly told HuffPost. "MCTC has never disciplined a faculty member for teaching or discussing structural racism. Conversations about race, class and power are important and regular parts of many classes at MCTC and have been for years." City College News reported that after Gibney spoke with the student newspaper, she was told she risks further punishment for violating the unnamed white male students' privacy. MCTC noted in a statement that nearly one in four of the school's employees are minorities, and that "of the eight new full-time faculty hires the college made for fall 2012, six are people of color." More than half of the 13,874 students enrolled at MCTC in fall 2013 are persons of color, according to the college. The story was first reported last month by City College News, but was picked up by outlets like the Raw Story and Salon on Monday. Gibney is not filing a lawsuit against the school, but is submitting a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging workplace discrimination at MCTC, Minnesota Public Radio reported.

In what now looks like a prescient move, silent screen legend Mary Pickford paid for the preservation of her films, ensuring that most of them endured. The effort spared 40 of her movies from being among the casualties of time and neglect that are represented in a new survey by the Library of Congress. The report, The Survivial Of American Silent Films: 1912-1929, has found that 70% of feature-length silent films made in America have been completely lost. During the period the study voyage dans la lunecovers, 10,919 silent feature films of U.S. origin were released and only 14% of those still exist in their original 35mm format. Of those, 5% are incomplete and 11% are only available in foreign versions or lower-quality formats. Librarian of Congress James H. Billington called the state of America’s silent film heritage an “alarming and irretrievable loss to our nation’s cultural record.” Martin Scorsese weighed in about the findings, saying the report was “invaluable because the artistry of silent film is essential to our culture.” Scorsese’s Hugo was a tribute to the silent era, incorporating Georges Méliès’ Le Voyage Dans La Lune, which the Cannes Film Festival screened in an impressively restored version a few years back. It was also at Cannes that eventual Best Picture Oscar winner The Artist began its career, a throwback to the time before the talkies. the artistContributing factors to the staggering loss of silent films are the vulnerability of nitrate film stock to fire and deterioration, and the industry’s practice of neglecting or destroying prints and negatives, the Library of Congress says. Among some of the notable films considered lost in their complete form are Lon Chaney’s London After Midnight (1927); The Patriot (1928); Cleopatra (1917); The Great Gatsby (1926), and all four of Clara Bow’s feature films produced in 1928, including Ladies Of The Mob. Meanwhile, only five of Will Rogers’ 16 silent features survive and 85% of films by Hollywood’s first cowboy star, Tom Mix, are lost. An inventory database of information on the surviving films is here. The idea is to help raise awareness so that films that may exist abroad can be repatriated. Of the more 3,300 films that survived in any form, according to the study, 26% were found in other countries. The study also recommends a collaboration with studios and rights-holders to acquire archival master film elements on unique titles; coordination among American archives and collectors; a campaign to document unidentified titles; and building audience appreciation by screening more silent features. “Any time a silent picture by some miracle turns up, it reminds us of the treasures we’ve already lost. It also gives us hope that others may be discovered. The research presented in this report serves as a road map to finding silent films we once thought were gone forever and encourages creative partnerships between archives and the film industry to save silent cinema,” Scorsese added.

I mean I don’t read any of it, I just find it so disgusting. There is a coarsening of our culture today that is just so tragic.”

Personally, I think they sound totally crass and not the least bit feminine. I heard one of them discussing the Jets with a seriously cute guy in the gym last night, and she sounded ridiculously aggressive. The entire time I kept thinking to myself, honey if you're trying to impress him and earn his cock, this IS NOT the way to do it. Now, I think I know what makes straight men tick. They don't want a female to discuss sports with. That's what their bros are for. Straight guys are not attracted to women they find too aggressive. They want a feminine woman, not some assertive sports nut. Agreed?

I've been watching Long Island Medium (sue me)...I was surprised to see the Long Island that is depicted on this show. A giant, Italian Roman Catholics middle class suburb. Very middle class.

newly discovered strain of HIV is spreading across West Africa. What's worse is that it's particularly aggressive—and causes significantly faster progression to AIDS than other strains. Called A3/02, the strain of HIV was first observed in 2011. But now, reports Al Jazeera, researchers at Sweden's Lund University have found that it's spreading across the West African country of Guinea-Bissau. A3/02 forms when two of the most common strains in the region fuse together—and the result is potent. Angelica Palm, one of the scientists involved in the study, explains: [quote]"Individuals who are infected with the new recombinant form develop AIDS within five years. That's about two to two-and-a-half years faster than one of the parent [strains]." The research backs up previous studies which have suggested that recombinant strains of HIV—where different DNA combines to form a new strain—are potentially more dangerous. Perhaps even more concerning is that the researchers point out that, while their work is conducted in West Africa, different recombinant strains are likely forming across Europe and the US due to high levels of immigration. Gulp.

All this brain injury talk makes me not want my son to be involved in that horseshit. What's the best way to insure he's not interested in sports. The difficulty is that several family members are football crazy (we're in the south) and people are already saying "Wow, he's going to be a linebacker" he's a boy, big for his age, and did I mention we're in the south?

Police estimate it was only going 40-45 mph. Although they hit a curve with a posted 15mph limit, a car with that kind of handling capacity should've easily been able to take it at 40. "The Porsche that actor Paul Walker was riding in when he died on Saturday was traveling at approximately 40 to 45 mph when it came to a bend in the road where the speed limit drops to about 15 mph, a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation told NBC News on Monday. It was in that vicinity where the driver, Roger Rodas, apparently lost control of the vehicle, ending in the fiery solo accident, the source said. Walker, 40, and Rodas, 38, were killed at the scene, police said. Their autopsies were put on hold Monday, as the Los Angeles Medical Examiner's Office waits for dental X-rays for each man to aid in making the official identifications, said Craig Harvey, chief of the coroner's operations bureau."

Michigan lawmakers are currently deciding whether to advance a bill that would require women in the state to purchase a separate insurance policy for abortion coverage, even in cases of rape or incest. If it’s approved, Michigan would join a long list of other states that have attacked abortion access by preventing women from using their own insurance to pay for it. The debate over the legislation has heated up this week, particularly since the measure would deny abortion coverage even to women who have become pregnant as a result of rape. Although the overwhelming majority of Americans believe that rape victims should have access to legal abortion services, lawmakers continue to propose policies that would have callous implications for individuals who have been sexually assaulted. Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) vetoed the proposed insurance ban last year for exactly this reason — pointing out that it would require rape victims to pay for the total cost of their abortion procedure out-of-pocket, unless they had thought ahead and purchased a separate insurance rider for abortion services. “I don’t believe it is appropriate to tell a woman who becomes pregnant due to a rape that she needed to select elective insurance coverage,” Snyder noted when he rejected the bill last December. But Michigan’s anti-choice community disagrees. Earlier this year, when advocating for the proposed legislation, a prominent anti-choice leader in Michigan suggested that rape is like a car accident and it’s appropriate to require women to buy “extra insurance” to prepare for it. After Snyder’s veto, abortion opponents decided to simply circumvent the governor and collect enough signatures to provoke a “citizen-initiated” vote on the measure. That petition was successful, and the measure headed to the legislature on Tuesday. Lawmakers now have 40 days — not including the upcoming holiday break — to act on the measure. If they don’t take any action, the issue will be placed on the 2014 ballot for a statewide vote. If the legislature approves it, on the other hand, the bill will immediately become law — even without Snyder’s signature. Leading Democrats in the legislature are blasting the proposed measure. “Forcing women to decide whether they want to buy ‘rape insurance’ and even compelling parents to make the unfathomable decision about whether to buy it for their daughters is truly despicable,” State Senate Minority Leader Gretchen Whitmer (D) said in a press release on Monday. “Requiring Michigan women to plan ahead for an unplanned pregnancy is not only illogical, it’s one of the most misogynistic proposals I have ever seen in the Michigan Legislature.” But abortion opponents aren’t giving up. Save the 1, a national anti-choice group that advocates for abortion restrictions without exceptions, organized a press conference at the Michigan Capitol on Tuesday to make the point that rape victims shouldn’t ever have the option of choosing abortion. A group of adults who were conceived as a result of rape argued that “no child deserves to be punished for the crimes of their father.” The issue of rape and abortion access has become particularly contentious over the past year, after several Republican lawmakers have made controversial comments on the subject. Last August, former Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) asserted that pregnancies resulting from rape are very rare because the female body “has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” And since then, other GOP politicians have suggested that pregnancies from rape are a “gift from God,” mocked rape exceptions as “little gotcha amendments,” and suggested abortion access for rape victims is unnecessary because ending a pregnancy will “put more violence on a woman’s body.”

My sister has been taking care of my Dad who is in hospice care and not expected to live much longer. This past Saturday, my sister called me to say that "something beautiful" had just happened in Dad's room. A white light appeared on the wall. They thought it was a reflection of the sunlight coming in through the window so they shut the blinds and darkened the room. My sister says it only got brighter. I linked the photo below. (Dad's in a deep sleep, not yet gone.) My best friend's mother is also in hospice and he went to see her this weekend. A white light (he says looks exactly like his late father) appeared over her bed too. And they also got a (more indistinct) picture. So I went online and started reading. It seems this phenomenon is pretty common. Has anyone else had an experience like this? I'm floored by it!

I kind of experienced this this morning. I'm pretty attracted to the new-ish security guard in my company's lobby. He's really cute and I can tell he works out. We chat from time to time, and I am definitely flirty with him, which I can't imagine is lost on him. I know this sounds totally cliche and somewhat MARY, but when we're talking it's like time stands still and we're the only two people in the world. I get totally lost in his gorgeous smile and hearty laugh, and don't even hear the words coming out of his mouth. In my dreams, the attraction has been two-way, though I know intellectually that's not the case. But it's sure been nice to think about. Anyway, this afternoon as I came back from grabbing some lunch, I was going to stop and chat with him briefly. When I entered the lobby, however, I saw him talking to some chick who works on the floor above me. She's your typical stupid, slutty admin type...you know the sort...dumb as a box of hair, always advertising her looks with exposed cleavage and short skirts, and those stupid 10-inch hooker heels. She was totally flirting with him, throwing her tits and pussy in his face, and he was just totally eating it up. I awkwardly said hi to him, but he didn't even acknowledge me. Didn't even toss me a glace, he was so caught up in her. Again, I know he's 99% straight and into pussy, but there was that part of me that hoped that 1% would come out and want to have sex with me. It was just totally soul crushing, and I can't stop thinking about it. I'm really hurt, though I know I shouldn't be. ugh, why am I always attracted to the straight ones, and why does it hurt so much when my fantasies are deflated and reality hits like a ton of bricks? ugh, just ugh.

Or are they titillated by this fascinating new topic coming at them? The media has seized upon us as one of the last provocative, hot button issues. Everyday it's 'gay athletes', 'gay marriage', 'gay adoption'. I have to admit, I'm a little saturated on the issue myself (though I'm old enough to find it amusing, because when I was growing up it was a taboo subject everywhere... that is, until AIDS).

Students in the wealthy city of Shanghai, where affluent families can afford to pay for tutors, are not representative of China overall, although they are ranked as a group alongside national averages for countries such as the United States and Japan. Still, they are indicative of education trends in China and elsewhere in Asia — societies where test results determine entrance into prestigious universities and often one’s eventual career path. Shanghai scored an average of 613 on math, as compared with the nearest rival Singapore with 573, and the global average of 494. Hong Kong ranked third in math, scoring 561, while Japan was ranked seventh and scored 536. The test is given every three years. The results have led to hand-wringing elsewhere, including in the United States, where students failed to rank in the top 20 in any category. U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan called the results a “picture of educational stagnation.” In China, educators say hard work is a key to their students’ impressive showing.

WONDER WOMAN joins "Man of Steel 2"

'Wonder Woman' Returns On Me-TV Posted: 11/30/2013 2:26 pm EST | Updated: 11/30/2013 3:50 pm EST Lynda Carter's "Wonder Woman" is heading back to your small screen come Christmastime. Me-TV announced earlier this week that they'll show all 60 episodes of the 1970s series starring Lynda Carter starting Dec. 27 with the pilot. The show will join Me-TV's Saturday night line-up. "Wonder Woman" ran from 1975 to 1979 and since then, many networks have tried to recreate Carter's iconic portrayal on TV. Few have succeeded. Carter once told ET that Hollywood doesn't understand Wonder Woman's powers. "She is an Amazon Princess and she's got really strong sisterhood values. She's smart, and she just happens to be beautiful and super strong..." Now, it looks like Me-TV has the right idea by giving life to the classic show without altering a single thing. Catch the pilot of "Wonder Woman" on Me-TV on Dec. 27 at 8 pm EST.

A tragic accident took the life of Bill Beckwith. The 38-year-old cohost of HGTV's show Curb Appeal was struck by a car and killed while riding his motorcycle in San Francisco's Lower Haight neighborhood, according to local reports. The incident occurred near the corner of Oak and Steiner streets at roughly 8:30 p.m. Monday, police said. He died at San Francisco General Hospital. "The HGTV family is deeply saddened by Bill's tragic death, and we mourn his loss along with his many family and friends who will miss his creativity, adventurous spirit and general love of life," the network said in a statement obtained by E! News. "The driver of the vehicle remained on scene and is cooperative with police investigators," police said in a statement. "[Beckwith] was transported to [San Francisco General Hospital] where he died from injuries sustained in the collision. " A Facebook page in Beckwith's memory was created earlier today, and his girlfriend, Yulia Korneeva, wrote on the page, "My love: so kind, so bright, adventurous and strong. You are loved by so many good people! I wish you could stay with us for way longer." A memorial is being organized by family members, and is scheduled to take place on Sunday. Beckwith, a native of Maine and University of Montana graduate, founded his San Francisco company BB Design Build in 2001, which specialized in cabinetry and finish work. He went on to star on Curb Appeal, a half-hour reality show that features makeovers on the exteriors of dated homes.

Did anyone see Supreme Justice with Judge Karen yesterday? These two were best friends from childhood so she made him her bridesman. He matched his tux to the lavender dresses of the bridesmaids, and had paid non-refundable $50. Then, she forced her wedding party to get their teeth whitened and he spent an additional $450. Well, according to her, he was very bossy and critical, telling her future sister-in-law that she looked fat in the dress, so, with pressure from her future mother-in-law, she kicked him out of the wedding party, but still wanted him to attend the wedding. He did not, and sued her for the $500. He won. I agreed with the decision, but my question is why go to all that trouble for $500?

I know there is a thread on this, but this is a better subject title. After being fired herself, Erica Hill went around shopping for a new job at the various networks. She found an opening at Weekend Today when Amy Robach left for ABC. But the Saturday shift wasn't enough for her. She wanted Saturday AND Sunday (which was being held by Jenna Wolfe) So Jenna got demoted to newsreader on weekends, and now Erica Hill will be weekend co-host on both Saturday AND Sunday. Sound fair?

The death of Paul Walker — an obviously key figure in the mega-sequel (and franchise) "Fast & Furious 7" — makes the future of the movie and series completely unclear. Production on the James Wan directed movie was supposed to continue this week in Atlanta following the Thanksgiving holiday, and additional filming with the entire cast in Abu Dhabi in January. Clearly, things are in flux and while this past weekend a conference call between suits and director tried to figure out how they salvage the film and honor the memory of Walker, it seems everyone is still weighing their options. But until then the set has been cleared. Universal Pictures has officially announced they are stopping filming on the sequel. Here's their statement: Right now, all of us at Universal are dedicated to providing support to Paul's immediate family and our extended Fast & Furious family of cast, crew and filmmakers. At this time we feel it is our responsibility to shut down production on Fast & Furious 7 for a period of time so we can assess all options available to move forward with the franchise. We are committed to keeping Fast & Furious fans informed, and we will provide further information to them when we have it. Until then, we know they join us in mourning the passing of our dear friend Paul Walker. So where do things go from here? The Wrap reports that options are still being assessed but one that's a possibility is scrapping the film entirely and starting over. The project has insurance to cover such an incident, so money is not an issue, though the bigger question seems to be how to proceed in general. Do they keep the character of Brian O'Conner in the movie and re-write and work around it? Remove him entirely? Sources seem to be split on the viability of any of those choices though the trade notes "many of Walker’s key scenes remained to be shot" before he passed. Either way, it's clear this won't be released next summer and a final decision on the fate of the movie and series will likely be carefully considered before any formal announcements are made.

If there was an award for the less Christmas-y Christmas card in the History of the world, I believe that the 2013 Kardashian Christmas card would take the prize. Shot by elite fashion photographer David Lachapelle, the card is a rather grim and depressing summation of the entertainment world – an industry ruled by a shadowy elite that is turning popular culture into a toxic wasteland populated with vacuous celebs such as the Kardashians. The wide panoramic card is filled with symbolism and references describing everything that the Illuminati entertainment industry is about. The shot takes place in an abandoned movie theater, one that appears to destroyed and vandalized. Here’s the card (click to enlarge). card There’s a lot going on there, so let’s look at it from left to right. First, there's Kim Kardashian posing with a revealing outfit. Her curves are pretty much the only reason why her entire family is famous right now. That is maybe one there's a huge dollar sign next to her.

Fox News incited Islamophobic fears in its reporting on a weekly swim class at a YMCA facility that ensures the privacy of Muslim girls learning to swim, framing it as evidence that "Sharia law is now changing everything." In October, a St. Paul YMCA in partnership with the local police department decided to offer an hour long swim practice once a week to give Muslim Somali-American girls between the ages of 5 and 17 an opportunity to learn basic swimming skills, making considerations for the girls' modesty and religious beliefs. On the December 2 edition of Fox & Friends, Fox's Heather Nauert framed this story as evidence that "Sharia law is now changing everything": NAUERT: Well the minority becoming the majority at one community pool. Sharia law is now changing everything. A YMCA in Minneapolis-St. Paul is starting a swim group for Muslim girls but special considerations have to be made to keep with their religious beliefs. Now this means during the one-hour class, the pool is being shut down, the men's locker room is being locked, and female lifeguards are being brought in. Similar classes are now starting at towns across the Midwest. We'll keep watching this story for you. Fox's use of an hour-long swim lesson for girls to push the myth that Sharia is taking over is disconcerting to say the least. For many Muslim girls, this class represents their first opportunity to learn these basic skills, and the Star Tribune noted that this is an important and much-needed program for the community, and that "[s]pecial considerations have to be made to address modesty concerns": Special considerations have to be made to address modesty concerns so that the Muslim girls can swim and not reveal too much of themselves. St. Paul Police Chief Tom Smith had discussions with Britts to let the Y know that, through the department's connections with the Somali-American community, they had learned that such a group was needed. "I think this is just a great opportunity for them to learn basic skills that we take for granted," said Sgt. Jennifer O'Donnell, who has worked with the Somali community regularly during her time with the department. "We have to have privacy," said Ubah Ali, Dhamuke's mother. For years, Ali said she has been trying to find a place where her daughter could swim, but nothing seemed to work. Not knowing how to swim is a safety risk, especially in the state of 10,000 lakes, Ali said. Fox News' decision to cite this story as evidence of "Sharia law" spreading through the country fits with the network's history of pushing Islamophobia and the myth of "creeping Sharia." In recent history Fox has led a smear campaign against Park51, an Islamic community center near the World Trade Center, claiming it would potentially be a haven for terrorists. The network has also been known to invite discredited anti-Muslim guests on its shows to push fears about Muslims. Fox's pattern of Islamophobia has now reached the new low of presenting swimming lessons for young girls as a problem so worrisome that Nauert promised to "keep watching this story."

I found it a case of trying way, way too hard. you know... Being Edgy And Artistic, In Caps. Her producers bring their full bag of tricks, sonically it's great in places. But the tracks are nearly all vocally chilly, vocally distorted and disconnected, joyless, minor key, and too reliant on the producers' tricks. The Applause title track is typical of the whole album's sound, more or less. I can't see how this album is going to do even half as well as her last few.

Due to it being too far-left. How do you respond to an idiot who says this? Toby Keith said it.

One Direction have already conquered the music world -- now one of the fab five is set to take the football world by storm. Louis Tomlinson has signed a deal with English second division club Doncaster Rovers in one of the most bizarre deals for some time. Tomlinson, who stars alongside Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Liam Pain, is part of biggest and most successful boy band on the planet. One Direction have broken record after record during their rise from losing in Britain's X-Factor competition in 2010 to becoming as big as the Beatles stateside. Managed by music mogul Simon Cowell, One Direction have had 61 album and single number one's world wide with their last album "Take Me Home" reaching top spot in 37 different countries. They are the only UK band to have had their first two albums reach No.1 in the U.S. and have over 18.5 million Facebook fans and 71 million combined followers on Twitter. Tomlinson, 21 was born in Doncaster and has signed a deal which means he could feature for the team at any point this season. He hopes his appearance for Rovers will help raise money for local charity Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice. "This has always been a childhood dream for me," he told the club's official website. "I feel very honored to have been asked to sign for Rovers and being able to help both the club and the amazing charity Bluebell Wood is what it's all about." While Tomlinson is used to having thousands upon thousands of screaming "Directioners" cheering at him on stage, he'll be performing in far more modest surroundings at the 15,000 seater Keepmoat Stadium. As a child, Tomlinson used to attend games both as a fan and as a ball boy but his heavy work schedule means he will face a real challenge to be available for a cameo appearance. He will miss Doncaster's first game of the season against Blackpool on Saturday with One Direction set to perform in Las Vegas before the group move onto California. Tomlinson will then be touring Australia and New Zealand in September and October with the band appearing in Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne before moving onto Christchurch and Auckland. But that has not deterred Rovers, with the club fully aware of Tomlinson's ability to lure in new fans. "Louis has always been passionate about football and wanted to realize a dream of signing to his home town club where he once worked on match days," said a statement on the club's official website. "After discussions between Louis, Paul Dickov and media manager Steve Uttley, it was decided that the club could sign him and issue him with a squad number for the 2013/2014 season. "As part of the signing it is hoped that Louis will be able to appear in Rovers colors at some point this season in aid of Bluebell Wood and train with the lads. "Chairman John Ryan and the manager Paul Dickov have given Louis the number 28 shirt for this season to help him raise money for Bluebell Wood."

Just one month after announcing his split from Victoria’s Secret beauty Miranda Kerr, Orlando Bloom is already being linked to a new gal pal — Lord of the Rings co-star Liv Tyler. According to a new report from Star magazine, the two have been friends for years and recently solidified their affection for each other during a night out in New York City. An eyewitness claims Bloom and Tyler got cozy backstage during the opening night of Broadway’s Waiting for Godot and then took their PDA to the after-party at Bryant Park Grill. “When they got behind closed doors, they were playfully tickling, gazing into each other’s eyes and holding hands,” the partygoer told Star. Bloom’s relationship with Kerr lasted six years and they have one son together, so insiders say the two are keeping their new relationships low-key for now. “Miranda and Orlando are trying not to cause a scene with other people out of respect for each other,” the source said.

Posey, Pence, Ellsbury among 81 striking deals Associated Press - 5 hrs ago NEW YORK (AP) — NL MVP Buster Posey agreed to an $8 million, one-year contract with the San Francisco Giants, teammate Hunter Pence got a $13.8 million deal and Jacoby Ellsbury settled with the Boston Red Sox for $9 million on a busy Friday as players and teams swapped figures in salary arbitration. Eighty-one players reached agreements, leaving just 36 headed toward arbitration hearings next month in Phoenix. San Diego third baseman Chase Headley had the largest request and the biggest spread, asking for $10.3 million while the Padres offered $7,075,000. Boston reliever Craig Breslow had the slimmest gap. He sought $2,375,000 — that was $50,000 more than the Red Sox offered.

Back in September, when we first learned that Woody Allen was going to be given the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 71st Annual Golden Globes, we thought it was all a trick to finally get him to happily attend an awards show. It didn't work. Allen will not be accepting the award on January 12. In his stead, Deadline reports, will be longtime friend and collaborator Diane Keaton. Allen has never been to the Globes, despite thirteen nominations. His excuse for avoiding awards shows is always the same, "If you accept it when they say you deserve an award, then you have to accept it when they say you don't." So, in this case, Allen must be annoyed he didn't win lifetime-achievement awards in his past lives and/or other dimensions.

Over the last month or so, opponents of the Affordable Care Act have eagerly touted Consumer Reports’ “opposition” to healthcare.gov – for the right, if the independent, consumer-friendly outlet disapproves of the administration’s exchange marketplace, it proves … Obamacare is bad. In reality, Consumer Reports’ position has always been more nuanced than conservative activists and lawmakers would have us believe. The consumer advocates, for example, defended the Obama administration from criticism on canceled plans through the individual market, rejecting Republican talking points altogether. Consumer Reports also played a role in debunking some of the ACA horror stories that the right has been so invested in. That said, the consumer advocates did warn the public about the problems plaguing healthcare.gov, urging Americans to wait until the site improved before creating accounts and selecting insurance (though Consumer Reports pushed back against far-right efforts to exploit the position). Today, however, it reversed course and changed its verdict. After advising consumers to steer clear of Healthcare.gov in October, Consumer Reports health care expert Nancy Metcalf told MSNBC’s Chuck Todd Tuesday morning that the federal health care exchange website was improved enough following the Obama administration’s frantic month of repairs that users could confidently use it. […] “Now we’re saying, ‘it’s time,’” Metcalf said, in particular praising the new window-shopping function, in which users can peruse health plans without registering with the site. The requirement to make an account before viewing options was considered one of the main causes for the site’s initial traffic bottleneck. “It’s terrific, I’ve tried it, it was working yesterday through the busiest times,” Metcalf said. If recent history is any guide, opponents of the law will argue, indefinitely, that “even Consumer Reports opposes” healthcare.gov, but for those concerned with the facts, the consumer advocates’ position now seems fairly clear.

Consumer Reports on healthcare site: ‘It’s terrific’

American students once again lag behind many of their Asian and European peers on a global exam, a continuing trend that often is blamed on child poverty and a diverse population in U.S. schools. Education Secretary Arne Duncan called the results a "picture of educational stagnation" as U.S. students showed little improvement over three years, failing to score in the top 20 on math, reading or science. Students in Shanghai, China's largest city, had the top scores in all subjects, and Singapore, South Korea, Japan and Hong Kong students weren't far behind. Even Vietnam, which had its students participate for the first time, had a higher average score in math and science than the United States. The test is based on a 1,000-point scale. Among the findings: - In math, the U.S. average score was 481. Average scores ranged from 368 in Peru to 613 in Shanghai. The international average was 494. - In science, the U.S. average score was 497. Average scores ranged from 373 in Peru to 580 in Shanghai. The international average was 501. - In reading, the U.S. average score was 498. Average scores ranged from 384 in Peru to 570 in Shanghai. The international average was 496.

This is the time of year I start thinking of summer plans and summer vacation so I know what I need to save up for and get the best deals on reservations. My partner and I are such creatures of habit. We do the same thing every single year, and I'm tired of it. Every year we go to Ptown, rent a place, ride bikes, eat out, cook in. It's loads of fun but after a decade of that I need something new. Can any of you recommend a good destination for a vacation? We do have our criteria. It would be great to rent a place to stay instead of staying in a hotel, since we really like to cook. We live in NYC, so we don't necessarily need a big city destination, something laid back, relaxed would be nice. It doesn't necessarily have to be gay, but it is nice to be in the company of fellow travelers. We are east coast guys, so seeing something completely opposite might be fun - Texas, Colorado, California. I would love to hear what you you guys think.

Another way the gay community "out-markets" the Catholic Church (per Cardinal Dolan): our viral videos are way more fun:

Ronaldo was attending the official launch of his new underwear range, CR7, and anyone wondering what his debut collection looks like didn’t have to look too far - a 19-metre tall campaign image featuring the chiseled winger in all his glory was suspended above in the landmark building’s renaissance courtyard. Meanwhile the man in question, never shy about coming forward, was clearly delighted as he posed for photos between its legs. ‘I am very proud to officially launch CR7 today and especially to see my campaign image displayed in this beautiful building, one of the most famous landmarks in Madrid,’ he said.‘I put a lot of passion and dedication into creating this new underwear line and I am delighted to finally launch it globally today. ‘ Ronaldo has previously modelled for Armani Jeans, but his latest campaign marks an inaugural brand venture and his first attempt at fashion designing. His design debut was aided by Richard Chai – best known for his collaborations with Marc Jacobs and Donna Karen.‘Fashion and design are two passions of mine and I have wanted to launch my own brand for a long time. Working on this collection alongside Richard has given me a great creative outlet and I have loved every part of collaborating on the range, from selecting the colours and designs to testing the styles and fits myself,’ he said. ‘I am very proud that the collection is launching worldwide today.’ Ronaldo's new underwear range will be available to buy via www.cr7underwear.com from November 1.

Am I the only one who noticed this or am I the only one who is brave enough to say this? It's episode after episode of some random issue but really the best part of it is the fucking. That's why EVERY episode must have a love scene so that we may see young scrumptious Gale Harold's various beautiful body parts.

A good friend of mine discovered this recently and has been doing it a lot lately. Says it expands his mind, makes things clearer, makes him more creative. I tried it back in the day but don't know the potential downside and dangers if any. Have seen people in k-holes though. Should I be worried?

What's his story? And what happened to his finger? I have always wondered.

Monday, November 25, 2013 The power of prayer has failed to save The Christmas Candle, the new release from Rick Santorum’s faith based film studio, EchoLight. The Christmas Candle, set in the fictional English village of Gladbury and billed as “a timeless holiday film for the entire family”, attracted widespread critical scorn as well as dismal box-office results, having grossed just over $1.6m after two weeks on release. The bad reviews were perhaps predictable, with the New York Daily News saying: “This odd Dickens-meets-Sunday-school movie is as artless as the setup is muddled”, while the New York Post judged: “This throwback, made-for-TV-style film takes the easy way out in a cheesy climax, but its resolute quaintness may appeal to the kind of viewers who regard electricity as disturbingly newfangled.” The Arizona Republic called it “resolutely stiff and hollow”. Former presidential candidate Santorum, who took to the media shortly before the film’s release to lambast Hollywood as “the devil’s playground” will presumably find it easy to shrug off critical brickbats; less easy to swallow will be the ignominious box office results. Its opening weekend, on a small “platform” release on just 5 screens, took a respectable $68,000; but in its second week, when it expanded to over 390, it took less than $1m. The crucial screen average was an extremely moderate $2,500, putting it below the likes of The Best Man Holiday, Narco Cultura, and bodybuilding doco Generation Iron – and far beneath Catching Fire and Philomena. The Christmas Candle, which stars Clash of the Titans’ Hans Matheson and gives singer Susan Boyle her film debut in a small role – the inn-keeper’s wife – is released in the UK on 13 December.

Oops! She did it again. Britney Jean Spears accidentally insulted gay people. During an interview with Pride Source, the “Work Bitch” singer was asked about her gay fans. “I get inspiration from them on almost all of my songs,” the pop princess said. Awww. That’s sweet. Then she added: “They’re somewhat girls…” Say what? “…so it’s so inspiring to do stuff that they like to hear, like the cool ‘in’ stuff,” she continued. “Whatever I do for each record is definitely inspired by them.” We guess that’s supposed to be a compliment? This is not the first time the hit maker has come under fire for making subtly homophobic remarks. Earlier this year, she likened her gay beauty team to puppies when she referred to them as “adorable and hilarious” during an interview with San Francisco’s 99.7 NOW FM. In all honestly, we don’t think Britney Jean is a homophobe. But she could use a lesson or two in public speaking. To the girl’s credit, she’s not used to speaking off-the-cuff, hence the lip-syncing. When asked about the “adorable and hilarious” comments made earlier this year, Britney told Pride Source: “I would never say anything to be mean to them. I love my gay fans. Gay people are always usually my best friends in the whole world. I completely adore them.” We adore you too, Brit Brit. But, for the record, we’re not girls. Or even somewhat girls.

I made an appointment with my Dr, but am curious if any of you have experienced this. Lately, when I am drifting off, and right about to fall asleep, I'll get this sensation in my chest that wakes me up. The kind of thing you feel when you're scared. Right before you make a speech, or when you are home alone and hear a strange noise. It's not that extreme falling sensation, it's more a feeling up in my chest. I don't get it, because I am not feeling anxious - I'm tired, and ready for bed. I'm not thinking worrisome thoughts, and am happily snuggled up with my partner and ready to drift off. It's happened on and off over the last few years but has since been getting worse. I'd love to know if anyone else has had to deal with this, and if so - what is it? How did you fix it?

Shit, now I may have to see this piece of shit.

Paul Walker and his friend were murdered shortly after they discovered a conspiracy to supply victims of Typhon Haiyan with a prototype permanent birth control drug hidden in medicinal supplies and food aid. They had a damning recording and they were on their way to rendezvous with an ally who would have helped them get in touch with the right people. Turns out they were betrayed and someone rigged their car’s breaks to malfunction after a certain speed. Now that the loose end has been tied up, and the recording destroyed, the people responsible have nothing to fear as this will become another “conspiracy theory” no one will take seriously. “Now here is another thread with a conspiracy on a possible motive here. Apparently, Paul Walker had discovered dirty money in the Philippines disaster relief and that would make sense because he owned a company that specialized in rapid disaster relief. “ Did Walker dig to deep into corruption or was it an Illuminati Death? Then we have the massive damage to the car, the two videos below show the same car Paul Walker was killed in that had also been involved in an ultra high speed crash with fatalities and then the video of the aerial view of Walker’s car after the fatal crash.

Lourdes, take note: The camp extravagance of 1981's "Mommie Dearest” has made it a favorite of drag performers and Lifetime Television audiences, but there's one notable person who saw the movie in its entirety only once: Christina Crawford herself. “It wasn’t accurate,” Crawford now says of the biopic, which introduced unintentionally zany lines like “No wire hangers!” into the pop culture lexicon and was based on her controversial 1978 memoir of the same name. “It did not portray the essence of my book, and it changed the point of view. My book is told from the point of view of a young person who is trying to get through trauma, while the movie tells the story from the stance of the movie star who creates that trauma. That’s a very different story.” Crawford, 74, says Hollywood’s misconceptions about the troubled relationship between her and her adoptive mother, Joan Crawford, inspired “Surviving Mommie Dearest.” The production is a new, feature-length documentary and a one-woman multimedia show that the author, actress and activist will present at New York’s St. Luke’s Theatre on Nov. 20-22. The documentary portion pairs rarely-seen home movie footage with present-day commentary in which the younger Crawford not only recounts the abuse she endured at the hands of her legendary actress mother, but also her subsequent personal and professional triumphs. “It’s the story of a relationship between me and my mother, and also my own journey after she died, as the title says, to survive and grow and thrive after a very difficult childhood and young adulthood,” Crawford says. “When people come to see my show, they have this ‘A-ha!’ moment when they realize that a real person had these traumatic experiences, and that changes everything. It’s no longer just a Hollywood fantasy.”

So many of them just vanish utterly when their time is up: Tom Chase, Travis Wade, Eric Hanson, Kevin Williams, Trent Reed, Jake Andrews, Zak Spears, Lane Fuller, Derek Cameron... all of them were big stars fifteen years ago and now you never hear about them.

How the fuck did this show gain such a cult following? I tried watching an episode on youtube, but I found it unwatchable. It was complete torture, so I stopped it after five minutes. It wasn't funny or poignant, and didn't even work as cheap soap opera parody. The theme song is catchy, but that's about it.

I read about this show in EW a few weeks ago, but just started watching on HBO and Youtube. I like it but don't think that Chris Lilley is as funny as The Kids in the Hall.

Professional bowler Scott Norton publicly announced yesterday that he is gay via a post on the Professional Bowler's Association website. Norton, who was awarded the PBA Rookie of the Year Award, was inspired by the coming out of Phoenix Suns President & CEO Rick Welts earlier this week. Read Norton's personal statement, posted on the PBA website, below: On May 15, Phoenix Suns CEO and President Rick Welts announced publicly that he is gay. That announcement was important to me because he is someone who is actively involved in professional sports and has publicly acknowledged his sexuality. While many athletes wait until they retire to officially come out, the fact that Mr. Welts has the courage to do so while still actively involved with the NBA has encouraged me to also acknowledge that I am a gay athlete. It is extremely important for me to come out to show other gay athletes, both current and future, that it is important to come out to show that we are just like everyone else. Being gay doesn%E2%80%99t define who I am as a person or as a professional athlete. I'm also a professional bowler, lawyer, caring, compassionate, strong, and many other things. It's important to show people that being gay has nothing to do with one's ability to do anything as a man, least of all compete at the highest level of sports. In 2009, after successfully passing my California bar exam, I made a decision to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a professional bowler. I entered and won the PBA Regional Players Invitational, which gave me the opportunity to bowl full-time on the Lumber Liquidators PBA Tour during the 2010-11 season, and I was fortunate enough to win the Chameleon Championship in Las Vegas for my first PBA Tour title. At the conclusion of my first year on tour, I was selected by my fellow players as PBA Rookie of the Year. It was the culmination of years of hard work and dreams, and made every obstacle I had to overcome worthwhile. I have encountered specific obstacles due to my sexuality, but I really do not wish to cause a great deal of turmoil in the industry or make waves. The issues that were in the past remain in the past but there were serious impediments to my progression to becoming a professional bowler. They only made me stronger and made me the person I am today. Those issues only strengthened my belief that knowledge is vital in our path to acceptance. I will say, however, that my experience on the PBA tour surpassed nearly everything I could hope for in terms of acceptance. The vast majority of bowlers out on tour were accepting and welcoming as were all the staff, which deeply touched me. I know from my own experiences that it was difficult for me personally to acknowledge being gay because of the shame and stigma brought on by society and I was afraid of not being accepted. I know it is more prevalent in the female sporting community to be gay, but I wouldn't necessarily say it makes it easier. It just means there are more people around to share your story with. I don't feel I have that kind of connection with anyone since many people I am around on our tour do not have that perspective. I am very proud and happy with who I am and who I have become as a person, and I would hope that this will empower other gay athletes %E2%80%93 past, present, or future %E2%80%93 to come to terms with the truth about who they are and love themselves for who they are. I appreciate the discretion and care with which the PBA staff has handled my situation. I have tried to conduct myself in a professional manner at all times and try to put forth a good reputation both for my community and for the PBA and sport of bowling. I am currently working with Compete Sports, a gay sports network, as an advisor in developing different forms of media coverage (publishing, radio, and soon tv) which will hopefully bring even more exposure to our sport, as well as increased tolerance and acceptance within the sports community. I hope everyone will continue to see me as the person I am, and nothing more, nothing less. Scott Norton, PBA Rookie of the Year.

Women, and even many men, buying a $1500 Canon or Nikon (which they've been convinced by a Costco sales clerk is "professional"), throwing up a cheesy website and keeping the dial set at 'Auto' for their "shoots" and suddenly becoming photographers. This shit needs to stop. As a photographer myself who has attended school to learn more about the craft and really tried to learn the history and the art of it, this trend bugs the shit out of me. I don't make my full time living from photography so I'm not jealous, it just seeing these people trying to convince others to pay fees of $1,000 or more for "professional" photography when all they're getting is some bored housewife with a cheap SLR and maybe an AlienBee and filter, pretending to be a pro.

CNN won’t concede the so-called knockout game might be a fake, despite widespread doubt from news sources and New York Police Commisioner Ray Kelly. Instead, it aired an interview Tuesday that perpetuated the racist media narrative of the game, where CNN guest Rabbi Gary Moskowitz, a black-belt rabbi, instructed Jewish people how to defend themselves from perpetrators he compared to animals. “The issue is … they’re not just attacking Jews theologically. What they’re doing is, they’re attacking weaker people. It’s very much like the animal kingdom,” he said. “They’re attacking weaker people. So they attack elderly women, they attack children. And Jewish people, unfortunately, especially in the Orthodox community are considered weak.” As if to emphasize the racist characterization, CNN aired video of a black man attacking a white victim on a loop. The Atlantic Wire’s Philip Bump notes that the segment included a demonstration with CNN anchor Don Lemon throwing a fake punch at Moskowitz. Watch it. Media panic over the “knockout game” has elevated a few isolated events to a fake widespread, growing phenomenon. But fringe conservative sites, and now networks like CNN, have latched onto portraying young black men as violent.

My sister is desperate for a job. A friend of hers told her about an ad from a Russian newspaper for an English speaking person to work the phone, from her home, for an escort agency. Her job would be overnight hours and it would be to set up the "dates" between those who want to hire and those who do the dates. She would have no physical contact with the customers or the girls, at least I guess it's girls. Is this legal in NYC? My sister would be doing nothing sexual, just taking addresses and phone numbers and maybe credit card numbers and such. The man she spoke with who would be hiring her said he would supply her with a phone. She can't find anything else and has been looking since she lost her job last July. I've been out of work myself and can't help her financially or I would. Neither of us have a problem with her doing this kind of work, as long as it's legal. So please, if you know, is it?

Anyone else seen it? I hadn't read the book but thought the film was excellent. Like a less tragic "Ordinary People". Ezra Miller was amazing. There were a few characters that I wish had been explored further but it was refreshing to see a film about teens that isn't as ridiculously condescending or obvious as some trash out there.

I haven't seen a thread for this movie--forgive me if I've overlooked one. I read the novel when it came out and remember liking it very much, but I had forgotten most of it by the time the movie came out. I generally liked the movie, which I saw yesterday, with some reservations. Ezra Miller and Emma Watson were just right, the crazy, welcoming older kids who befriend Charlie. I loved Paul Rudd and Joan Cusack as two adults (English teacher and doctor) who are genuinely interested in helping Charlie. I loved that his sister and brother were so cool. I think the biggest problem with the movie was Logan Lerman. I've enjoyed him onscreen in several roles, including Jack and Bobby and Percy Jackson. But he's just miscast in this role. Charlie is damaged goods, lacking in confidence. A wallflower. But Logan Lerman oozes self-confidence, no matter the role. He looks the part of a popular kid, not an outcast. And I read in an interview that's exactly what he was growing up, that he never had any experience being bullied. (At times his wallflowerlessness is good for us. He had no problem stripping to tiny gold underwear to play Rocky in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, for example.) I think back to Timothy Hutton in Ordinary People. He was perfect as the damaged kid. And, while I remember his as coming across as mature, he and Logan were the same age when they made their films. Another problem I had was that the letter-writing device that frames the novel is only referenced briefly in the film (twice, I think). I wish that had been played up more. Thoughts?

I would highly recommend this documentary (it's on Netflix streaming). It really portrays the financial services industry for what it is: a bunch of crooks - no holds barred.

It began tonight here in the UK, and it was MARVELLOUS, the show is back on track. (I record it and begin watching, gin & tonic in hand, half an hour later, so I can zap through the commerical breaks, not watching those in real time). I think Dan Stevens has made a big mistake in leaving. What has he done of note since? - ok, a stint on Broadway in another costume drama (The Heiress) and a period piece movie (Summer in February) that caused not a ripple of interest (I wouldn't even want to see it on tv) and I don't suppose even Downton fanatics bothered with. Now the stories have been re-structured without him and its going to be ok. Looking forward to the jazz age episodes and Dame Kiri as Nellie Melba. It is of course a total fantasy about how masters and servants behaved back then, but its ideal viewing for these autumn sunday evenings. I understand you won't get it in America until new year, so not giving anything else away.

BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Alice Walton, the billionaire daughter of Wal-Mart Stores founder Sam Walton, has had a 2011 arrest for suspected drunken driving cleared from her record, after prosecutors declined to press formal charges in the case. The arrest was expunged from Walton’s record during a hearing Monday in Parker County. Assistant Prosecutor Fred Barker told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in October that he expected Walton’s request to be granted and that case records would be destroyed. He declined to discuss the matter Monday. “It’s a criminal offense to discuss any information related to an expunction. As such, we have no information to provide,” Barker said. Walton, 64, was arrested on Oct. 7, 2011, on Interstate 20 at Farm Road 51. In September, officials said they would not file formal charges against Walton because the state highway trooper who arrested her has been suspended from his job. Walton, who lives on a ranch near Millsap, has a net worth of $33.5 billion, according to Forbes magazine, making her the eighth-wealthiest American. Tom Vinger, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, said the trooper who arrested Walton was suspended in March for alleged misconduct and hadn’t returned to duty, and was thus unavailable to testify in Walton’s case. Mac Smith, the Texas attorney who represented Walton, didn’t immediately respond to a phone message seeking comment left Tuesday by The Associated Press. In documents seeking to clear Walton’s record, Smith noted that the arrest was for an alleged misdemeanor. “No information or indictment was ever filed by the state and the statute of limitations for this offense expired on Oct. 7, 2013,” Smith wrote. Walton was convicted in 1998 of drunken driving in Springdale, Ark., after a single-vehicle accident. In 1989, her vehicle struck and killed a woman who was walking in traffic on Arkansas 265 in the state’s northwest. Walton was not cited and police said she wasn’t at fault in the accident.

I ordered it from Time-Life and it came last week. Great to revisit. Brian Wimmer (Boonie) always seemed a little gay. Season One is a bit light on the war and heavy on ploys like USO auditions (oh, Chloe Webb!)and Cherry looking for her brother. Season Two ramps up the darkness and makes it a better show. Marg Helgenberger was never a gorgeous beauty, she had a hard look (did she on "Ryan's Hope" as well?) but she looks better on "Beach" before the surgery. And Tim Ryan who palyed Natch (McMurphy's squeeze in Season One) was hot but he's vanished.

Wonder Woman is back! Makes the Kaley episode even more inexplicable. It's a prospect that will upset many women, and probably a few men, but is Hollywood actor Henry Cavill getting back together with his ex-girlfriend? The handsome Man of Steel star was seen dining with Gina Carano in Rome, Italy, earlier this week. The 30 year-old performer, who is currently filming The Man From U.N.C.L.E. with director Guy Ritchie in the ancient city, took a break from his hectic schedule to spend an evening with the brunette. Wearing a white linen shirt with indigo blue jeans and brown brogues, he looked the epitome of smart/casual. Meanwhile, Gina wore a semi-sheer green jumper over a black bra top and leather-effect leggings. Keeping it casual, she scraped her hair back into a ponytail and appeared to wear little make-up. Seated outside a romantic restaurant, where they shared a bottle of red wine, the pair looked relaxed and happy as they toasted each others' company. In fact, they looked every inch the couple as they exchanged warm, familiar banter, which frequently resulted in laughter. Hours later they were seen leaving the venue together. Aside from a brief fling with Kaley Cuoco, Cavill has remained one of Hollywood's most eligible men since he and Carano separated.

I was a teenager in the early 90s. If you were a teen then too, let's list some memories that make us feel old. When I was a teenager... *Cell phones were still pretty new and called "Car phones." You used them for emergencies and shut them off when done. *I'd call my mom for a ride from school using a pay phone (which cost 10 cents). *There was no Facebook or Twitter or email. I did not spend any time on the Internet -- it cost 2.99 per minute and tied up the phone line. If an incoming call came in, I'd be knocked off. *To record a favorite show, I'd use a VHS tape. Laser discs were the high-tech thing, and Tivo was not around. *Mixed tapes (not even CDs!) were a romantic gift. Sometimes I'd tape my favorite songs off the radio. Man I feel old.

3 December 2013 The grandparents of Olympic diver Tom Daley have expressed their surprise at their grandson's revelation he is in a relationship with a man - but have vowed to support him. The 19-year-old announced the news that he is in a ‘serious’ relationship with a man and ‘couldn’t be happier' in a five-minute message on YouTube yesterday. His grandparents, whom he told 24 hours before he went public, said the news came ‘out of the blue’ and they feared he was ‘too young to be making this sort of decision’ but vowed to support him. David and Rosemary Daley – whose son Robert, Daley’s father, died in 2011 from brain cancer at the age of 40 – also admitted they were a little ‘confused’ by the news. Mrs Daley, 65, of Plymstock, Devon, said: ‘We only found out at 5pm on Sunday when he came to see us. We are confused because he’s always had girlfriends. 'We asked him if he was absolutely sure. He’s our first grandson from our son who died. 'We have always been supportive of him and we always will. We’re not old-fashioned, in fact we’re quite liberal. But I do think he’s too young to be making this sort of decision. ‘But we hugged him, we thanked him for coming to see us, and we’ll be seeing him over Christmas. We’ll always be here for Tom.’ Mr Daley, 66, a former company director, added: ‘We’ve always been loyal supporters of Tom and there’s no reason that that will change.’

Detroit is finally officially bankrupt, a federal bankruptcy judge certified on Tuesday. "It is indeed a momentous day," U.S. bankruptcy judge Steven Rhodes said at the end of a 90-minute summary of his ruling, USA Today reported. "We have here a judicial finding that this once-proud city cannot pay its debts. At the same time, it has an opportunity for a fresh start. I hope that everybody associated with the city will recognize that opportunity." Rhodes surprised some observers by saying he would support the city in shaving pension expenses, a key bone of contention. The ruling on pensions has significant implications for others cities elsewhere. In California, for example, cities such as San Bernardino could seize the precedent, the Sacramento Bee suggested.

No one regrets not having enough stuff/money/clothes,etc.. No one regrets not having enough sex without love. But they sure do regret not loving enough, not helping enough, not giving enough, etc.

(CNN) -- The engineer who was involved in Sunday's New York train derailment apparently "was nodding off and caught himself too late" before the accident that killed four people and injured 67 others, a union representative who has been meeting with the man told CNN on Tuesday. Anthony Bottalico, the union representative, said engineer William Rockefeller Jr. recognizes his responsibility in the incident. "I think most people are leaning towards human error," Bottalico said. Rockefeller's lawyer, Jeffrey Chartier, characterized what happened as "highway hypnosis." He said his client had had a full night's sleep before the crash, and that Rockefeller had no disciplinary record. In a brief conversation with investigators, Rockefeller said that moments before the derailment of the Hudson Line train in the Bronx he was "going along and I'm in a daze. I don't know what happened," according to a law enforcement official familiar with that conversation. Asked by investigators what he was thinking when he said he was dazed, the engineer said he couldn't say. Rockefeller spoke to Metropolitan Transportation Authority and New York Police detectives at the crash site before he was taken to the hospital Sunday. National Transportation Safety Board member Earl Weener told a news conference that Rockefeller would have had a chance to get the necessary sleep prior to his 5 a.m. shift the day of Sunday's accident, echoing comment from Rockefeller's lawyer. According to NTSB representatives, results from alcohol breath tests for the train engineer were negative, and both the brake and signal systems in the deadly Metro-North accident appeared to be working. Other toxicology results have not yet come back. Fatigue is a factor being investigated, according to a separate New York law enforcement source. But Rockefeller also told investigators on site that the brakes had failed, as CNN reported previously. Officials noted the train had been able to stop nine times at stations ahead of the crash. Weener told reporters that the train was equipped with a "dead man's pedal," designed to stop the train if the engineer becomes incapacitated. But it was unclear whether that emergency system was activated. "We don't know what that sequence was at this point," Weener said. "It's too early to comment on that. But yes, there was a dead man's pedal." Additional safety system urged for years Railroad safety officials have long pushed for a system known as positive train control technology, which combines GPS, wireless radio and computers to monitor trains and stop them from colliding or derailing. But the railroad industry has opposed the technology because of the high cost. Steven Harrod, a University of Dayton professor and expert on railway operations, said the transportation safety board has urged railroads to install PTC in some form since 1970. In 2008, Congress ordered rail lines to adopt the technology by December 2015. "PTC would have sounded an alarm as soon as the train exceeded the speed limit," said Harrod. "Technology will help. PTC will help. But there will be some other thing in the future, other ways that somebody will find to defeat the system or screw up." On Tuesday, Weener said it's possible that PTC could have prevented a derailment involving a high-speed train such as the Metro-North accident. "What I can say is that for more than 20 years the NTSB has recommended the implementation of PTC technology," Weener said. "These systems provide a safety redundancy by slowing or stopping the train that isn't being operated in accordance to signals, speed limits or other operating rules. PTC is proven technology that can prevent train-to-train collisions, over speed derailments and incursions into work zones." Salvatore Arena, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said the agency began work to install PTC on the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad in 2009, budgeting nearly $600 million for PTC installation, including $428 million last month for a system integrator.

According to Forbes Magazine, Sofia Vergara takes this year’s slot as the highest–paid actor on television, male and female. Forbes estimates that Vergara, 41, brought in $30 million between June 2012 and June 2013. Her salary of about $175,000 per episode of the hit show "Modern Family" certainly contributes to her title, but it is her numerous brand endorsements that carry her to the top of the list. The Emmy–nominated actress serves as spokesperson for Diet Coke, Cover Girl, Comcast, State Farm Insurance, and a thyroid medication called Synthroid.

In one year, more than 200 children were abused while under the state of Massachusetts' care, according to a new report. The Boston Herald reports: State officials found evidence supporting 249 allegations of physical and sexual abuse and poor care involving youngsters in state-watched settings last year, according to the Office of the Child Advocate’s 2013 report, a copy of which was obtained by the Herald. Thirty percent of those cases were in foster homes, 29 percent in treatment programs, 19 percent in day cares, 18 percent from schools and 4 percent from “others.” The Associated Press reports that a Department of Children and Families spokeswoman said "the state works hard to protect all children." The Herald's report comes just as officials in Arizona grapple with their own child abuse scandal. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is under heavy criticism after it was revealed the state's Child Protective Services department failed to investigate more than 6,000 abuse reports. The American Humane Association has more information on child abuse and how to report it.

249 Children Abused In State Custody In Massachusetts: Report

Hey guys, I'm 23 and I'm struggling with how to feel about this situation. I have a friend whom I've known for about a year. We are not romantically involved in any way - I know him through another friend. I've hung out with him at parties, and he's a really nice guy. I find out that a month ago, he got drunk at a party and drove his car on the wrong side of the freeway at 4am, hit a taxi head-on and killed a passenger, and injured two others. He himself had just minor injuries. I'm not sure how to feel about this. I think what he did was completely repulsive and horrendous. That person is dead. But do I support him as a friend? Is what he did unforgivable? How do I support somebody who did something so heinous? Especially when it's at odds with my impressions of him - he is genuinely a nice guy, but he made a terrible decision and has to live with the consequences. Also just fyi, he is extremely successful, he's young around 24, and went to Harvard, Oxford, and was in business school. Have any of you experienced something similar? I feel like I should be supporting him as a friend, but I don't know how when I am so disgusted by what he did. What would you guys do? Thanks in advance.

You might have heard that irksome term "reverse racism" -- the idea that racism can be directed at majority groups by people in minorities. The concept seems inherently problematic, but sometimes it's hard to put your finger on exactly why. Well, Australian-based standup comedian, Aamer Rahman, can explain exactly why. In just a few minutes he covers issues like colonization, imperialism, slavery, inequality, privilege, war, cultural superiority and internalized racism. Now, if we could just go back in time, make the minority group the dominant group, and change history -- That would be reverse racism. BINGO. Rahman is currently touring with comedian, Nazeen Hussain, in a show called Fear of a Brown Planet. Through comedy, they work to bring race issues to the attention of audiences. So, next time you are having an argument with someone about why reverse racism doesn't really work, pull up this video and press play.

While Larry Klayman believes that “violent revolution” against President Obama “looms on the horizon,” Erik Rush is now openly calling for people to remove Obama from office “by any means necessary.” He says that people no longer need to obey the law because Obama administration “criminals have proven that they are not dissuaded by trifles like legality.” “[A]ll I can say is that America has suffered casualties due to internal conflict before,” Rush writes today in a blog post titled, “It is Time… to Revolt Against a Tyrant,” in which he argues that “Obama and his cabal, and in all likelihood a substantial segment of Congress must go. We must also extricate the radicals and Islamists whom Obama has so kindly insinuated into high places in our government.” Rush, a regular guest on Fox News, recently said that the president should face execution over his supposed plot to nuke America and argued that anyone who criticized Rush should be put in jail. This administration, much of the Congress, and the creatures who support the same in blissful, belligerent ignorance must be neutralized if this nation is to survive in any semblance of its intended form. And it must be done by any means necessary, because such criminals have proven that they are not dissuaded by trifles like legality. The law, in our President’s estimation, is what he says it is. This has been proven time and again. So Obama and his cabal, and in all likelihood a substantial segment of Congress must go. We must also extricate the radicals and Islamists whom Obama has so kindly insinuated into high places in our government. And the culture of our government must change. Indeed, it will take some time and sacrifice, but America has never faced a threat such as this. In truth, I don’t think any nation has. As for those who remain dedicated to fighting for the legacy of our precious First Black President and all that the left holds dear for reasons of ideology or ignorance, all I can say is that America has suffered casualties due to internal conflict before. If you’re going to ally with liars, slanderers, oppressors, deviants, thieves, wife-beaters, murderers, and pedophile rapists, don’t plan to be remembered as having been on the right side of history.

Erik Rush: Remove Obama From Office 'By Any Means Necessary'

Yet another conservative has taken issue with critical comments made by Pope Francis on capitalism and “trickle-down” economics. Tea party activist Jonathon Moseley published a World Net Daily column Sunday that challenged the pope’s interpretation of the Bible, saying that Jesus had addressed his comments about helping the poor to individuals, not the government. Moseley, a Virginia business and criminal defense attorney, supports his claim with a verse from the Book of Luke in which Jesus declines to act as arbitrator when someone asks him to compel a brother to divide their family inheritance. “In just one verse, we see that God rejects the left-wing ‘Jesus Christ supported socialism’ heresy,” Moseley writes. “When Jesus was asked to support redistribution of wealth — to tell one brother to share the family inheritance with the other — Jesus refused.” Moseley says Jesus would never support a government or church “stealing property by force” to give to someone else because he wouldn’t even intervene with the family dispute described in the Bible. He dismisses claims by those who say the pope’s Spanish-language Apostolic Exhortation was mistranslated, because Pope Francis himself had not disputed the translations and corrected translations differ little from the original. But Moseley says the pope is wrong to argue for government intervention in the distribution of wealth, and he defends the pope’s American conservative critics. “One truth shines out from the Bible: Jesus spoke to the individual, never to government or government policy,” Moseley writes. “Jesus was a capitalist, preaching personal responsibility, not a socialist.” Moseley mangles the definition of socialism to make it seem synonymous with totalitarianism and defines capitalism as synonymous with freedom, and proceeds with his arguments from there. “Would Jesus endorse the violence needed for government intervention?” Moseley argues. He says that capitalism necessarily benefits society because businesses rely on consumers to choose their products or services. “The consumer is king,” Moseley argues. “Consumers won’t buy unless the purchase benefits them. To reinforce that central pillar of capitalism, laws against lying and fraud are proper and necessary.” Moseley, who cohosts the “Conservative Commandos” radio show and serves as executive director of American Border Control, says the pope has got it all wrong on the free market. “In teaching us how we should live, Jesus agrees that a man who traded with investment capital and earned profits is praised and rewarded by his master, a type for God, and given increased authority,” Moseley writes. By contrast, he notes, Pope Francis specifically rejects the “invisible hand” of the free market as a “poison.” He says the pope has directly contradicted Jesus’ strategy of changing individual hearts one at a time by calling on political leaders to help improve the lives of the poor and to address the issue of wealth inequality. “Jesus Christ is weeping in heaven hearing Christians espouse a socialist philosophy that has created suffering and poverty around the world,” Moseley writes. “It is impossible to love one’s neighbor as yourself without fighting against socialism, meaning government meddling in private lives.”

HAWT!!!

The hauntingly brutal nonfiction film Blackfish focuses on those leaping, frolicking, seemingly happy-go-lucky (even dolphin-esque) whales in captivity in places like SeaWorld, where every so often they’ll crunch down on a foot or arm and drag someone under until he or she drowns. And then you glimpse something wrong — something monstrous and unnatural — in this picture. And once you do, you won’t be the same. The film begins in 2010, when esteemed 40-year-old trainer Dawn Brancheau was killed by a whale named Tilikum before a horrified Orlando SeaWorld crowd. The incident was generally viewed as a freak accident. The first wave of reports said that Brancheau had slipped and fallen into the water, the next (the version SeaWorld still stands by) that Tilikum had gone for Brancheau’s inappropriately dangling ponytail. But this was — by all credible accounts — a savage attack. Tilikum had killed before, once at a place called SeaLand in Vancouver, once (possibly) at SeaWorld in Orlando. (The problem is that no one could prove what had actually happened to a disturbed man who’d snuck into SeaWorld after hours and was found in the morning on Tilikum’s back, naked and dead.) The big fella remains at SeaWorld, by most definitions psychotic but a source of million-dollar sperm to make more orcas for more lucrative fish shows. What’s an aquatic theme park without a killer whale? This is one of those docs during which audiences gasp and cry out — or just cry — at regular intervals. Sometimes we cry for the humans, sometimes for the whales. After the prologue that alludes to Brancheau’s fate (we must wait more than an hour to hear the full story), director Gabriella Cowperthwaite cuts to a burly, bushy old guy who took part in a 1970 expedition to steal baby whales from their mothers to supply the burgeoning fish-show industry. The man is an ex-mercenary who claims to have toppled presidents. But what he can’t forget are those whales. Orcas, you see, don’t part so easily with their children. Cowperthwaite animates what happened while a researcher narrates. The males attempted to divert the human predators while the females and children swam the other way. A brilliant diversion — spoiled by a spotter plane that relayed the whereabouts of mothers and children. Whales are complicated, intelligent, highly emotional beings. They stick by their mothers for life in family pods. A mother who loses a child will make the kind of sound that transcends species. You hear that sound in Blackfish. You will never forget it. Tilikum was one of those young ones snatched from his mother. Former Orlando SeaWorld trainers recall the anguish of mothers losing children (SeaWorld would ship babies to other parks), the excruciating solitary confinement of orcas like Tilikum, and even how males’ dorsal fins, erect in the wild, would sadly go limp and curl over in captivity. Those ex-trainers are riveting subjects, chiseled and eloquent. And traumatized. Editor Eli Espres will cut back and forth from their tearful recollections to footage of their younger selves, smiling and spouting their insipidly hearty SeaWorld spiels. I loved listening to curly-haired Samantha Berg (now living at the opposite end of the U.S. — in Alaska), Dean Gummersall (especially cretinous as a SeaWorld spokesman in his early days, now appropriately and likably embarrassed), John Jett, and especially the weathered, sardonic Dr. David Duffus. But I shouldn’t single anyone out—they’re all compelling. They all came to love those whales, even Tilikum, driven mad by isolation and regular attacks by the tag-team torture of formidable mama whales. There was no place else for him to swim. The movie unfolds like a thriller. We see trainers seconds away from their deaths — which are not, mercifully, shown. But the near-deaths are shown and are awful enough. Top trainer Ken Edwards is repeatedly pulled under by a whale (not Tilikum) that will not let him go. It went on for twelve agonizing minutes.

Researchers at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, led by Associate Professor Dr. David Harrich, say they have developed a form of gene therapy that turns the HIV protein against itself and ultimately stops it from replicating, according to the Australian Times. Harrich himself notes that his research is not an HIV cure. "You would still be infected with HIV," he said, according to the Queensland Institute's statement. "But the virus would stay latent, it wouldn't wake up, so it wouldn't develop into AIDS. With a treatment like this, you would maintain a healthy immune system."

NORFOLK, VA—In an alarming case that has baffled and repulsed many, sources confirmed Tuesday that a severely deformed freak born without a penis has managed to live with the condition for over 26 years. The bizarre, monstrous human specimen was reportedly born with no other noticeable maladies and has, amazingly enough, attempted to lead a normal, albeit severely impaired life despite possessing no male genitalia whatsoever. “We first noticed something was off about three months into the pregnancy, and I was of course horrified,” said Dr. Mark Joules, the obstetrician who delivered the grotesque—some would say subhuman—abhorrence of nature. “You could clearly see in the ultrasound that a penis and testicles were not developing as one would hope—or at all, in fact—and we immediately knew something was terribly, terribly wrong.” “Had we caught it earlier, we most likely would have recommended that the pregnancy be terminated,” Joules continued. “But it was unfortunately too late at that point, so we were forced to deliver the baby as planned and just pray that it could get by in that state. We did our best, but with such a horrible and incredibly crippling deformity, there wasn’t much hope to be had.” According to reports, the sadly disfigured 26-year-old’s quality of life has been greatly diminished due to such a condition. Sources said the abnormal, visibly blemished creature has been repeatedly passed over for employment opportunities, frequently gawked at and harassed on the street by total strangers, and has faced near constant discrimination for over two decades, all due to the horrific and debilitating birth defect. Indeed, many are reportedly unable to look past the glaring deformity and simply see the 26-year-old as a human being. “Whoa, look at that,” said 31-year-old onlooker Grant Megson, who, like many others, gawked at the freakish human anomaly while passing by on the sidewalk. “I don’t mean to stare, but honestly, it’s hard not to. Jesus Christ.” “I just wish some of my buddies were here to see this,” added Megson, smiling and taking one last look before continuing with his day. Sources confirmed that, unfortunately, such cases are actually quite common, with roughly one in every two babies afflicted with the lifelong disfigurement. However, that is reportedly little consolation to the malformed specimen’s father, who told reporters that a day doesn’t go by in which he doesn’t wish his child was born a normal, healthy baby with male genitalia. “Sadly, because the deformity is so obvious, our child was treated very differently from all the other kids,” the father told reporters, admitting that he was incredibly upset and disappointed when he first learned that his baby would be born a freak, one to be mistreated and viewed as inferior its whole life. “Even though the doctors explained all the incredible challenges and prejudice the poor thing would face, I don’t think it really sunk in until after the birth, when I saw the disfigurement with my own eyes. You never want your child to have to grow up that way.” “But what can you do?” he added. “I’m just thankful that my other two kids weren’t born like that.”

Paul Crouch, a pioneering televangelist who founded Trinity Broadcasting Network, the world’s largest Christian TV network, died today, according to the network's website. He was 79. The church reported in October that Crouch had fallen ill and was taken to a Dallas-area hospital while on a visit to a TBN facility in Colleyville, Texas. He had "heart and related health issues," the church said, and he was later returned to California for continued treatment. The son of a Missouri missionary, Crouch moved to California in the early 1960s to manage the movie and television unit of the Assemblies of God. A decade later, after receiving what he believed was a message from God, he began to buy television stations, cable channels and satellites and developed enough Christian programming to sustain a 24-hour network. By the mid-1980s, Orange County-based TBN was “the country’s most-watched religious network,” according to J. Gordon Melton and Jon R. Stone in their book “Prime-Time Religion: An Encyclopedia of Religious Broadcasting.” With his bubbly wife Jan, Crouch anchored TBN’s flagship program, “Praise the Lord,” a nightly two-hour talk show featuring guests, Scripture and entertainment. He was known for preaching a gospel of prosperity, imploring viewers to open their pocketbooks to further God’s works and reap spiritual and material blessings in return. During four decades on air he often generated controversy, in particular because of the extravagant lifestyle he and his wife led. Critics complained that his jets, mansions and lavish expense-account meals were paid by tax-exempt donations from TBN’s legion of “prayer partners,” whose pledges enabled the network to surpass its rivals in size and global reach.

Marcia Harden has joined the cast of Universal and Focus’ “Fifty Shades of Grey” as Christian Grey’s adoptive mother. Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, Luke Grimes, Eloise Mumford and Jennifer Ehle are also on board, with Sam Taylor-Johnson directing. Based on the bestselling book “Fifty Shades of Grey” by E.L. James, the movie follows the relationship of 27-year-old billionaire Grey and college student Anastasia Steele. The subsequent novels in the series are “Fifty Shades Darker” and “Fifty Shades Freed.” Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti are producing. Kelly Marcel penned the script. Film is currently lensing in Vancouver. Harden was most recently seen on HBO’s “The Newsroom” and Open Road’s “Parkland.”

Marcia Gay Harden to Play Christian Grey’s Mother in ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’

The conceit behind The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told is easy to grasp. Instead of Adam and Eve frolicking naked in the Garden of Eden, it's Adam and Steve who are the primordial couple. When they meet up with an equally primordial lesbian couple and decide to start a civilization, hilarity ensues. The sacrilege was deliberate and gleeful, but what reviewers homed in on when the play debuted off Broadway in 1998 was the compassionate spirit that was layered underneath. As The New York Times' Ben Brantley put it at the time, "there's reverence in [playwright Paul] Rudnick's irreverence, an earnest warmth beneath the frivolity." Religious conservatives, particularly in the south, however, prefer their "earnest warmth" to be Biblically accurate and free of homosexuality, which is why they have protested the play in the past and continue to do so as it makes its way through the nation's heartland. In Oklahoma City, dozens of pastors have objected to the presentation of the play, calling it "obscene" and "an affront to Oklahoma City community standards." Here in Dallas, the Uptown Players' scheduled production at the Kalita Humphreys Theater will be picketed this weekend by America Needs Fatima, which describes itself as a "nonprofit campaign made up of Catholic citzens united in a common goal: To win the heart and soul of America for Mary, our Blessed Mother." Robert Ritchie, the group's executive director, penned an outraged call to action on Sunday, alerting Dallas Catholics that "They will call Our Lady a lesbian in your city!!!" "This is blasphemy," Ritchie writes. "I ask -- will God bless those who allow His Holy Mother to be dragged into the dirt of lesbian insults? Will He allow the Immaculate Conception to be turned into a homosexual party game?" Considering that the play is 15 years old and has been shown countless times in New York and elsewhere, the answer seems to be yes. Whether he will allow the Uptown Players to stage their version remains to be seen, though it's doubtful that they will be stopped by ANF's Rosary of Reparation.

While we were waiting, these two hot(I guess!) blond chicks with painted-on jeans over their donkey booties walked in. The straight guy was transfixed. I observed him observing them. My eyes wandered down to his crotch, which began to get more and more erect. I got hard watching him get hard as he watched them. I would've gotten on my knees and serviced him right then and there if my mama hadn't raised me better. Lawdy have mercy, I'm getting all hot and tingly just thinking about it.

Britney Spears is back — or is she?The 31-year-old singer’s new gig for a two-year residency of her stage show Britney: Piece of Me at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas has had dismal ticket sales, at best, and an industry insider exclusively tell RadarOnline.com that everyone involved with the show is really worried. The numbers are in, and of the first 16 shows running Dec. 27 through Feb. 22, Spears has only sold out three shows.“After spending hundreds of thousands on promo, they expected to instantly sell out all of the first 16 shows, but they didn’t come close!” the source told Radar. “In fact, Britney only sold out three of the 16 shows put on sale and many are considering this a disaster.”According to the insider, Las Vegas residencies in the past such as Celine Dion and Shania Twain sold out their first block of shows right away.“There are nearly 50 shows a year and the theater is small…it only holds about 4,500 people,” the source said.“So all of this put together really isn’t looking well for Britney. Ticket sales need to start skyrocketing or else there’s going to be a lot of disappointed investors and people involved with the show."

And a dispute with the police. What's going on here? Was he alone in his cell? Samuel See, 34, an assistant professor of English and American studies at Yale University, was pronounced dead after he was found unresponsive in his cell at a New Haven detention center on Sunday. See had been arrested Saturday for violating a protective order and fighting with police officers when they were called to his home on a domestic dispute complaint. According to police, they received a complaint of a domestic dispute early Saturday evening. Police officers arrived to a residence and found Saunder Ganglani, See's husband, retrieving his belongings at the home both men shared. Because both men had protective orders against each other, both See and Ganglani were arrested. Police said See then became very upset, telling officers he shouldn't be arrested for violating a protective order at his own home. He fought against the cops as they tried to handcuff him. As See was led to a police car, the arrest report states that he yelled to one of the arresting officers, "I will kill you ... I will destroy you." See was first transported to the hospital with a cut above his eye and was later taken to a cell at the Union Avenue Detention Facility. According to police, he was alert the night of the arrest but was found dead early the next morning. See is not believed to have committed suicide. His death is currently under investigation and the New Haven Register reports that the chief state medical examiner's office said the "cause of death is pending further studies." This weekend's incident was not See's first brush with the law. The professor, currently on leave from the university, was due in court next week to enter a plea for an incident in September in which he was arrested for assault and breach of peace. Yale spokesman Tom Conroy released this statement Wednesday afternoon: The University community is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Samuel See. Our condolences go out to his family, faculty colleagues, and students, and his friends at Yale and elsewhere. We encourage anyone at Yale who needs comfort and support at this time of loss to reach out to friends in the community or to University resources that are available for consultation and counseling (University Chaplain, Yale Mental Health and Counseling for students, and Magellan Health Services for staff). Mr. See was an assistant professor of English and American Studies who had been on leave during the current semester.

I've known for years that I have a lower-than-average sex drive, and an article I read last week indicated that the cause of it -- as well as several other maladies of mine -- might be an unusually low testosterone level (which I probably should've considered much earlier, I know...). I went to the doctor on Friday, he took some blood samples, and I just got the results this afternoon: my levels are indeed low, about 30% less than the lowest point in the "normal" range. I'm not seeking medical advice per se -- I know my treatment options are either testosterone shots or topical gels -- but I'm curious if other DLers have had this problem and what effects injections of testosterone (or using Androgel) might have on me. Honestly, the only stuff I've read relating to it involves either f-to-m trans people and guys juicing as part of a 'roids cycle, so I don't know what to expect. Will I suddenly become a raging horndog? Will my energy levels increase? (that's another problem I've had for years)

Tumblr just released a year-end list of their most reblogged actors and actresses, and it reads not only like a list of the Internet's most-beloved celebs (Poehler! Hiddleston!), but also like a list of TV shows that teenagers love. What works best on Tumblr is the visual (a.k.a. GIFs), thus the most reblogged are the ones who either charm us with their one-liners or appear on TV shows that inspire a younger crowd's immense fandom. Like Supernatural: Stars Jenson Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins appear on the lists. So does most of Teen Wolf (Dyan O'Brian, Tyler Hoechlin, Daniel Sharman, Tyler Posey, and Crystal Reed) and Glee. Other stars who "do well" on Tumblr include actors from Doctor Who (Jenna Louise Coleman, David Tennant, and Karen Gillian) and other Brits (Martin Freeman, Emma Watson, Kaya Scodelario, and Tom Hiddleston). As far as wider known A-listers go, Benedict Cumberbatch and Jennifer Lawrence are at the top, while Chris Pine, Johnny Depp, Chris Hemsworth, Anne Hathaway, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Zooey Deschanel appear further down on their respective lists.

Monday 2 December 2013 [quote]His YouTube video announcement further shows how he is a thoroughly modern communicator with a traditional sense of decency I've known Tom since he was 15 and am very happy for him today, although I know that the decision to talk about himself so privately hasn't been easy. I've made two films about Tom - 'Tom Daley and his Dad' and 'Tom Daley - Diving for Britain' - and I can honestly say he is a delightful young man who I'm privileged to know. I can tell from the emotion in his voice that it was hard to be so open. I know Tom is thinking about his family, particularly his father Rob, and wondering what his reaction would be but knowing that Rob was always totally supportive. It's a big day when you define yourself and Tom is to be congratulated. He did this piece for YouTube because that's who he is - a thoroughly modern communicator with a traditional sense of decency. He didn't want to live a lie. But he hasn't lived with the truth for that long either. In the years I filmed him he had a jaw-droppingly tough schedule - pool, school, homework, pool, collapse in bed. He'd multi-task all the way. He took his school work on planes, did his homework whilst he ate tea, and studied whilst he was away at competitions. He had mates, many of them girls, who he'd see on Sundays, but there was never time for a significant relationship. I'm glad he's had some space since winning his Olympic medal to take stock of his life and learn more about himself other than how to pass an A-level with flying colours or learn the latest terrifying dive from 30 feet up. With this off his shoulders, he'll be able to be free to be himself. There is nothing shocking any more about being gay but he doesn't know the response - from family or sponsors - until he goes ahead and says this is who I am. He will be fine. He is our Tom and we all love him. Jane Treays is an award-winning documentary-maker. Her Tom Daley films aired on BBC1 in 2010 and 2012

Hume tweeted that his wife would not be able to see her doctor after getting insurance from the healthcare.gov site. Someone tweeted back that they were surprised that fox news did not provide healthcare for spouses. Hume tweeted back that they infact do, she was just "looking" He was then called out because as someone pointed out the healthcare exchange is not meant for people like them.. Just another example of Fox being fair and balanced.....

A new study has found that smarter people not only tend to stay up later, but also regularly engage in recreational sex and drug use. According to Esquire magazine, English researchers recently discovered that students at prestigious schools like Oxford and Cambridge spend much more time having sex, smoking weed and staying up later than their peers at less reputable institutions. The research was funded by sex toy retailer Lovehoney.co.uk, where Oxford and Cambridge students have spent a combined $31,461. “The correlation probably has something to do with the open-mindedness that comes with intelligence,” 23-year-old Annalisa Rose, an employee of high-end sex shop “Honey” in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, told Esquire. “I think that the ability to engage in an open sex life comes with the abilities of introspection and logical thought, and those require some level of intelligence. If we’re talking about an open sex life that comes from an emotionally healthy place, sexual mores are mostly made up anyway and intelligent people can rationalize past them,” she said. Many previous studies have found that people with higher IQs, better jobs, or degrees from top-notch universities are more likely to smoke weed or even snort a few lines here and there. Esquire reports that this is because these people tend to pursue insightful experiences involving adventure and mental expansion. Smart people will indulge in most opportunities that could potentially broaden their minds. They also more closely understand addiction and moderation and are therefore less fearful of engaging in drug use. A 2010 study seen in Psychology Today showed that those with an IQ of 125 or higher are exponentially more likely to use drugs. From the study: “Net of sex, religion, religiosity, marital status, number of children, education, earnings, depression, satisfaction with life, social class at birth, mother’s education, and father’s education, British children who are more intelligent before the age of 16 are more likely to consume psychoactive drugs at age 42 than less intelligent children. “… there is a clear monotonic association between childhood general intelligence and adult consumption of psychoactive drugs. ‘Very bright’ individuals (with IQs above 125) are roughly three-tenths of a standard deviation more likely to consume psychoactive drugs than ‘very dull’ individuals (with IQs below 75).” The final element of our genius-trifecta is proven valid in an academic paper entitled “Why the Night Owl is More Intelligent,” published in the journal Psychology and Individual Differences. The paper, Esquire reports, highlights that for several millennia, humans have been conditioned to work during the day and sleep at night. Those that break this cycle, the paper says, “may be more likely to acquire and espouse evolutionarily novel values and preferences than less intelligent individuals.” The paper goes on to say that liberals who don’t believe in God are more likely to be intelligent as well. It seems that the gist here is that progressive thinkers who uphold adventure and experimentation over safety and tradition are the more intelligent beings. So as Esquire says, “if you’re getting laid at 3 am on Sunday morning and have a full bowl packed beside the bed and you aren’t going to church the next day, you’re probably a genius.” There you have it. Not only are those who rebel against conservatism sexier and much more fun to hang out with, but contrary to popular belief, they’re also smarter and more groomed for success. Oh, and we work our assess off too, so don’t even think you’ve got that one on us.

The force of Sandra Bullock's charm must be as strong as gravity. Bullock took the top honor in Entertainment Weekly's annual Entertainers of the Year issue, the magazine announced on Tuesday. "She could run a country if she wanted to," Matthew McConaughey, another of the magazine's Entertainers of the Year, remarked of Bullock. Bullock isn't letting her spate of success get to her, though. "When people are like 'Life is so good,'" Bullock remarked, "I go, 'No, life is a series of disastrous moments, painful moments, unexpected moments, and things that will break your heart. And in between those moments, that's when you savor, savor, savor.'"

A Connecticut high school football captain has been charged with stabbing his homosexual lover to death after the high-schooler decided he wanted to break off their relationship. Bloomfield High School student Tarence Mitchell, 18, killed Ronald Taylor Jr., 27, with a steak knife, stabbing him five times after Taylor arrived and allegedly struck Mitchell in the face. Mitchell, who initially claimed that the two men were attacked by two other men wearing hoodies, confessed he and Taylor had been lovers and that Taylor had wined him and dined him with marijuana and alcohol for two years. Mitchell added that when he texted girls, Taylor was incensed, and threatened him with a sword the week of the murder.

I was a kid when this first come on, and I LOVED it. Now, not so much. But I wanted to brush up before the new series starts this summer. Things that I didn't remember about the show: Victoria Principal is beautiful, but she's a TERRIBLE actress. Charlene Tilton isn't the best actress, but she's little and cute, so I forgive her. Patrick Duffy is so fucking HOT! How did I miss this?!?! Linda Gray is pretty, and very talented. Is Jim Davis wearing a toupee? I'm on season two, and hoping it gets better...

or is this some urban legend? Someone mentioned this in another thread.

I am trying to get my parents life in order as they are no longer able to take care of themselves. Nearly anything to do with Senior Care is a scam. There is always an in-home assessment before they will quote prices. Of course the in-home assessment is not an assessment of the senior's needs, it is an assessment of the seniors worth. Clearly everything in Senior Care is on a sliding scale depending on what they perceive the senior has. It is as if a restaurant charged various prices based on the car you drive.

Has anyone here seen it? thoughts?

I have hands that can hold a basketball from above and wear a size 15 on my right hand. Occasionally, I'd like to use a ring as an accessory, but I can only find sizes up to 12 on most sites, I have a couple of simple silver bands that I've bought at Jewelry shows over the years, but those often get confused for a wedding band or something similar. Do any of you have large fingers? If so, where do you find decent rings online?

How To Find Out If Your Facebook Friends Hate You

1. All the models now look alike, speak alike. Nothing unique about them. Even a guy in a whore house gets some diversity. And the guys look so bored. You are getting $500.00 and you look like you are waiting for a train. 2. They all act or pretend to be straight. God I wish straights thought about gays the way gays think about straights. What is the point of watching gay porn if your porn is based on one fantasy. The gay porn industry is selling self hated at $30 a pop. 3. Although the quality of film has improved the sex is less sexy and more technical. They will kiss, then the bottom will blow the top for what seems like forever, then the top will kiss the bottom and blow him for three seconds, then the top will rim the bottom( the bottom will be so overwhelmed by the rimming that you will wonder what kind of tongue the top must have),the fucking will start and go on longer than this post. Then finally they will come.BORING! 4. Which brings to the one big problem in gay porn. No chemistry. No real foreplay. How can I get into a scene when the director tells me that two people who are about to fuck just met. Yeah like they are going to jump off my computer screen. 5. My fantasies can run pretty wild. From hypnosis, to suit sex, to roleplay- but porn doesn't cover real fantasies anymore. It is just about the blow, the rim and the fuck. In old porn they accomplished in ten minutes what it take 20-30 minutes to do now. They had better set ups, better plots( yes I need a story or else I am just watching people fuck- what is the point in that), and they talked and moaned and showed excitement in better ways. It is all acting but it doesn't have to be so clear. As I get older porn can be a comfort. But not when my attention and money are not earned. And why do only fat, old queens run gay porn? Maybe that's the problem right there!

I was jacking my boyfriend off the other night and he came all over his black shirt. He then said, "shit I really liked this shirt." I asked him what he meant and he said that there was no way to get cum stains out of clothes. I told him that surely there must be some way, but he continued to protest. I can remember getting cum on my clothes before and I think i just washed them, but now i''m worried that i walked around with faint cum stains. DL is there a sure fire way to kill cum stains? TIA.

There's a reference to this subject on the 'Manhattan' thread. Something about how all the characters are just playing at grown up and it made me think to start at thread on the subject. Some people really seem very adult. Like they made the full transition, others less so, to varying degrees. Some people theorise that gays are often less adult than the straights as they often don't need to take on the usual adult responsibilities. Do you agree? Do you feel like an adult or like a child, pretending to be a grown up or somewhere between the two?

Landslide victory for conservative activists who called for marriage to remain an exclusive union between man and woman. With the results of this referendum Croatia joins Hungary, Poland, and other Eastern European nations in banning same sex marriages, adding up to a division inside the EU to a conservative East and a more liberal West.

I was at the gym today and "Another One Bites the Dust" and We Will Rock You" played back to back. I'm 28, so I had no idea that "Queen" did both songs (along with "We Are the Champions") with Freddie Mercury as the lead until a quick wiki search. So my question is: How big was "Queen" here in the states and was it well-known that Mercury was gay? BTW, what a voice.

I'll confess that there was this h-h-hot defensive coach on a game I watched this weekend, and the camera went to him numerous times just as he was very animatedly waving his arms and sending in signals. Each time I slowed down the dvr and replayed just to see his upper inside arm, pit and hope for a slight glimpse of the underarm hair. Too blonde. Creepy and fun though.

From what I hear from the straight guys I work with, their number-1 complaint is that their gf''s and wives won''t go down on them or that they do it reluctantly. I don''t get it! If I were a woman and had all that cock available to me whenever I wanted it, I''d be sucking day and night. I''d probably have to give up my job LOL. And the thing about straight guys is that they''re not as picky as we gay men. The woman doesn''t even have to be attractive in order to face-fuck her. As long as she has a warm, wet, willing, that''s all straight guys care about. What these girls'' damage that won''t orally satisfy their men?

I was unemployed for 3 years and went through my 401K which I had rolled over to an IRA so I could withdraw money easier (that was Fidelity's recommendation). I am working again but for a small business owner with no 401K plan and at a reduced salary. Ageism exists folks. I'm taking anywhere from 50-100 (all I can afford) out of every check and putting it into the IRA. How much money should I have built up before turning it back over to an investment 401 type account?

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) accused President Barack Obama of rewriting the Constitution during a Tuesday appearance on Fox News. Bachmann's accusation came amid criticism of the Affordable Care Act, which she's slammed in the past. “He has rewritten the Constitution for himself as a part of his effort to fundamentally transform the United States of America,” Bachmann said Tuesday. Bachmann called the recently announced delay of online enrollment for small businesses "political management." “What are these delays about, what do they have in common? They all put off the very negative effects of Obamacare until the next election. That’s what this is all about," Bachmann said. "This is all political management. But we believe the constitution has to be respected." Bachmann has considered taking action against Obamacare before, saying in November that she and several of her GOP colleagues in the House of Representatives were considering suing Obama for allowing plans canceled under the Affordable Care Act to be extended through 2014.

More than 62 years after I Love Lucy debuted, the wacky Ricardos and the whole Lucy gang are getting a fresh look in time for the holidays. The I Love Lucy Christmas Special, which will air Dec. 20 on CBS, will feature two newly colorized episodes -- the long-lost ­“Christmas Episode” and “Lucy’s Italian Movie.” The new color will have a “vintage look”—but one thing’s clear from the first released clip (see link): there’s nothing muted about the way Lucy’s vivid red hair has been tinted. “The Christmas Episode” originally aired in 1956, but according to CBS, the episode was thought to be lost and wasn’t aired as a rerun until it was found again in 1989. In the episode, Lucy and Ricky (Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz) along with their neighbors, the Mertzes (Vivian Vance and William Frawley), decorate the Ricardos’ Christmas tree and reminisce about the arrival of Little Ricky. The other episode to be included in the colorized Christmas special is the iconic “grape-stomping” episode, in which the Ricardos and Mertzes visit Rome and Lucy gets an invitation to appear in an Italian movie called Bitter Grapes. Thinking the film is about the wine industry, Lucy goes to a vineyard to do some research; a famous grape-smashing fiasco ensues.

December 2nd, 2013 Well, of course, cosmically – where all the worlds are perfect – it doesn't matter at all that Tom Daley is going out with a man. And there's sufficient sight of that cosmic perfection on Earth these days, enough for me to be slightly irritated at being asked to write about Tom Daley's YouTube coming-out statement. (What am I? The Telegraph gay bloke? Oh please.) But it still matters, though, enough for Tom to record the video, enough for us to watch it (maybe), even for me to write about it. The editor caught me on the platform at New Barnet, where I was waiting to catch a train. Next to me on the bench was a young girl, holding her iPhone in front of her face, raptly following Tom's video on YouTube. People care about Tom Daley. So, young man: you just did a beautiful thing. I'd guess a part of your internal discourse these last few months has been thinking "What's it got to do with anyone else?" The nasty comments from the more intelligently unpleasant members of the public will use that very trope – "I don't care what they do, why can't they just keep it to themselves?", etc etc – to signal their own inadequate psychologies. It's not viable, though, pretending to be something you're not – not in practice. It might just about work for a while, in theory, and particularly when you're alone. But it's not possible to be in love and not wish to share that fact. Indeed, it would be an obscenity to demand that harmless young people in love should keep the best thing about being alive a secret, as though they're ashamed of being human. It's a touching video, starting with a memory of his father. Most of us worry about what our dads will think. Tom is confident his own would be pleased that his son is happy, and I'm sure that's true. My own met me as I stepped from a train from Glasgow – I gave the news by phone – to reassure me that nothing of importance had changed. Nothing important, except we had stopped lying to one another. (He was right, of course. Your dad's always right.) I once saw a politician give a speech – it was Nick Herbert, until recently the policing minister. Nick told how, at the start of his career, he had attempted to avoid discussion of his sexuality, because he didn't want to be defined by it ("What am I? The gay Tory MP?") He changed his mind, he told us, because of the letters he received from young people, telling him how much it helped them to see openly gay – and successful – people in the world of politics. He realised that his generation – maybe the last one to do so – still casts a shadow on the next one. It's a more powerful shadow than we sometimes realise. First politics, now sport: the citadels that stood out against openness are starting to crumble. And look! The sky hasn't fallen in. I wonder if Tom's Coming Out will be a game-changer? Whatever happens, a young man has stood up to the world and disclosed one of the key aspects of his existence. As Iris Murdoch told us: all our failures are failures of love. One of the worst failures is to see the possibility of love, but to shun it through fear. Tom will now have to deal with those people who have a problem with (who fear?) homosexuality. Fortunately he's not a champion diver for nothing: his shoulders are broad enough for most things. Good luck, Tom, and thank you.

Tom Daley's coming out shouldn't matter – but it does, and it's beautiful

What is an example of a country that runs on Libertarian principles?\ \ By this point in history we have examples of just about every form of government man has come up with. Hasn''t there been a Libertarian government ever?\ \ It seems like you''re just supposed to take it on faith that Libertarianism would work, which makes it seem more like a religion than a political philosophy.

The once pretty Playgirl centerfold Stephen Scott is now a washed up porn star called Mark Davis. His chief co-conspirators in this shambolic lifestyle are his alcoholic ex-wife (C list porn performer Kitten, who variously also goes by Kitt Scott and Marci Scott) and her well reviewed escort best friend (Sinnamon Love, a sometime madam specializing in introductions to black porn stars, fetish sessions, and taking her youngest child with her to NYC on escort trips). Kitten and Sinnamon are best friends, because these two share the ignominy of each having spent more than a decade in adult without the achieving the fame of being able to sell DVDs based on their name alone. The experience had left them bitter and brittle. How do I know this? I unfortunately became entangled in their web of insanity via my job writing about the adult industry.

Inspired by the first cock you ever saw thread. What was the first cock you ever touched? Not including your own of course. I was a very late perverted bloomer. I moved to NYC for school and was put up in a hotel as my dorm room. I remember I was not out then and still discovering the fact that I was actually gay. I used to call phone sex lines disguising myself as a woman and invite guys over to jack off at my hotel room door while I watched through the peephole. It sounds crazy and stupid but you wouldn't believe how many guys actually did it. Anyway, one guy wanted me to crack the door and touch his cock. I was terrified, for obvious reason, but so curious and horny - so I did. That was the first dick I ever touched besides my own. And I remember feeling surprisingly not freaked out by it.

I'm in graduate school with lots of kids from other English-speaking countries, and I've noticed that I barely perceive any differences in how we behave (vs. other nationalities), and though we speak English differently, I mean, it's almost as if they're just slight regional variations. I guess New Zealanders and a bit calmer (I've gotten to know all of 2 of them well), Australians are kind of alpha-male-ish. Canadians are mellow, too, and British people are just like any other person in New York, basically. Do other countries have this kind of thing with other countries? It's weird that we live so far away from each other, yet we speak the same language to the extent that we can easily communicate with each other. Cuh-razy.

Lady Lazarus

Veronique Peck, the widow of legendary actor Gregory Peck and a long-time active figure in the cultural life of Los Angeles, died Friday, August 17 at her home in Los Angeles. She was 80. The cause was heart failure, said her children, Anthony Peck and Cecilia Peck Voll. She and Gregory Peck were married for nearly 50 years, until his death in 2003. Witty, intellectual, and a sparkling conversationalist known for hosting lively soirees in her Holmby Hills home, Veronique Passani Peck was born in Paris, the daughter of architect Antoine Passani, and Russian artist Alexandra Passani. She was educated at Marymount, and later became a reporter for the leading French daily, France Soir. She interviewed leaders in the arts and politics, from Colette to General Dwight Eisenhower, Samuel Goldwyn, and on a life changing occasion, Gregory Peck. The story of their love affair could have come from the movies. After their interview, Peck went to Italy to film "Roman Holiday," and months later upon his return to Paris, called the newspaper to track down the beautiful young journalist. As he told it, he heard the loudspeaker announce “Veronique Passani, c’est Monsieur Gregory Peck au telephone,” and the busy newsroom went silent. When she reached the phone he reminded her of their meeting and invited her to lunch that day. She hesitated, so he asked if she had a boyfriend. She said she didn’t, but still wouldn’t agree to lunch. He persisted, and their lunch at a Left Bank restaurant marked the beginning of a love story that lasted for over fifty years. Much later, she told him why it had taken her so long to say yes. “I wasn’t going to tell you this,” she confessed, “but I had an interview that day with Dr. Albert Schweitzer. At the apartment of Jean-Paul Sartre.” Gregory famously replied, “Well, you made the right choice, kiddo.” Veronique moved to the United States with Gregory at age 23 and began her life at her husband’s side, actively supporting and sharing in many of his film industry and personal interests. During his Chairmanship of the American Cancer Society in 1966, they toured 26 cities and together raised over $50 million for cancer research. She helped to create and was principal fundraiser for the Inner City Cultural Center, an interracial theatre group in South Central Los Angeles. She was voted Woman of the Year by the Los Angeles Times in recognition of her work as a Founder of the Los Angeles Music Center. In 1976, Veronique Peck became an American citizen, one of her proudest moments. She never lost her French elegance, charm or the trace of a French accent, but as she put it, “I am French by birth, American by choice.” Gregory and Veronique were known to have one of Hollywood’s most loving and enduring marriages.

I noticed a few recently. 1. Just before they go to Hollywood, Lucy is on the phone with her friend Marian Van Vlack discussing the trip. Couple of episodes later, when Mrs McGillicuddy arrives, Lucy asks her mother how Marian Van Vlack is doing, as if she hadn't had contact with her in ages. 2. In that same episode where Mrs McG arrives, she announces she wants to go Hollywood so she can take her book to Dore Schary, with the hope that he'll turn it into a screenplay. A few eps later, when they're all in Hollywood, Ricky makes a comment about Dore Shary, and Mrs McG shrieks over and over, "Who's Dore Schary? Who's Dore Schary?" 3. This one's a blooper: in an episode when they're getting ready to go to Europe, Fred brings his old vaudeville trunk to the Ricardos. The phone rings, and Ricky picks it up. I don't know if the sound people had the phone ring prematurely, but just after he picks up the phone, with phone to the ear, he turns to Fred and asks what that trunk is. Lucy has to quickly remind him that he's on the phone when she scoldingly says, "the phone, dear." Any others you can think of?

I just got this ASSHOLE eamil from some guy because I did not give him "positive feedback" on Amazon when I bought 6 halogen lightbulbs for about $3.99. I gave you money, man. I got the stuff. That is it. That is how adults buy things.

Have we had a thread about him? What's his story?

Kind of NSFW.

After many, many years, the real Cheryl has been found!

My cousin and I work together, she is also the mistress of one of the executives at our company. Ever since she started seeing the exec in question he’s given her any and everything she wanted, her house is paid off, he’s bought her two cars and a motorcycle, gives her cash and orders or buy’s anything she even looks at. He paid for breast implants and a tummy tuck, the relationship hasn’t even been sexual for almost three years and he still pops up with jewelry. The issue started back in late 2011, she told me that she didn’t get excited by getting things anymore if she wanted it she got it and she’d just stopped caring. Then she got the kitchen appliances that I’d been wanting, the woman does not cook. She got the new flooring that I’d mentioned that I’d like to have. Even during the week that my father died she was acquiring anything she’d heard me talk about. I decided that week that I wouldn’t mention anything else to her. We have a coworker, that we’ll call John, she dated him when he was 8 years younger and about 65 lbs thinner. Six months ago she had nothing good to say about him. John is on his third marriage, is sterile so he only has stepchildren, he’s a Mason and a libertarian. If he walked up and propositioned me right now I’d stand up and walk away. Several months ago she and I were talking; I was complaining that there were no gay men in the area that I was attracted to that weren’t already taken. She asked what exactly I was attracted to, being a young bear who likes bears I told her that if I could find a man with John’s body and a good personality I’d be set. We didn’t really talk about it anymore and I thought nothing else of it. About a month later she made a point to tell me that John, had stopped by her office and gave her a hug every day that week. Then she’d make comments like “I know I’ll see John today, he hasn’t come and gave me my hug yet.” Or remind him about the hug if he walked into the office with me sitting there. Last month she stepped it up. She insisted I be her DD to a bar where John’s band was playing. It was a redneck joint an hour away and I finally got tired and went to sit in the car for awhile. When she finally came out, she came out holding hands with him and giggling. Then she made a point to tell me how he’d kissed her on the neck and cheek and she’d stopped him. The following (last) Wednesday, she persisted in that I should meet her and a few people from work at the local bar for a few drinks, on her. I arrived and it was she, John, and a lawyer friend of ours who is even more liberal than I am. Their behavior led the lawyer to ask me within 30 minutes if they were fucking. She was sneaking pecks and hugging him whenever possible. He was, of course, responding in like (he’s now desperate to fuck her.) When we went to leave she made sure that the two of them were kissing in the parking lot where I could see them. Then she broke away as though she’d just seen me after I’d had a nice little show. Now I know her motives, and it’s fun watching John fling off the morals that he feels that I, as a homosexual lack. The next day I confronted her. She denied her reasons for pursuing John, though she did so with a smile. How she’s blatantly pursuing John at work, Where her exec (who does NOT like John) is likely to see. I keep warning her that if he sees this were all three in trouble. (I’m the only one who actually knows for sure about her and the exec and have been places with them on their little adventures.) How should I proceed, should I tell John her true reasoning, that she thinks I want him and once she thinks she’s beaten me that she’ll drop him AFTER he cheats on his wife, or do I just sit back and hope that I’m not a victim of the collateral damage?

I had a date with a guy who told me his first experience was with his uncle- who is also gay. When I said that it sounded like incest to me, he became defensive. On gay.com there use to be a chat room devoted to the subject. How many gays are victims of incest, but don''t think of it is incest because in the end they turned out to be gay?

You just never know how low these people will stoop... Last week, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s official “campaign team” sent an email to the potential donors in which his deputy, Taylor Palmisano, asked supporters to forgo purchasing presents for their children in lieu of donating to his reelection effort. “Instead of venturing into the cold this Black Friday,” it began, “stay in and give your children a gift that will keep on giving. This year, we are celebrating the Holiday Season with a Black Friday special that is better than any deal found in stores. Donate $5, $10 or $25 to help Governor Walker get reelected and save your children from a future of double-digit tax increases and billion dollar budget deficits.” It continued by noting that any “electronics or toys” that parents buy for their children “will undoubtedly be outdated, broken, or lost by the next Holiday Season,” whereas a contribution to the Walker reelection effort will help to create “a Wisconsin as great as the one [Walker] grew up in.” Raw Story contacted both Taylor Palmisano and the Friends of Scott Walker, but as of 9:12 a.m. EST has not received a response.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker asks supporters to donate instead of buying their kids Xmas presents

I was at a shop and putting my shopping cart away. There was about a foot between the front of my cart and the other carts in the return (inside the store). A woman who was clearly more important than me cuts me off and walks right between my cart and the others. I mumbled to my partner "I guess I'm invisible." As we were leaving the store I hear "I CAN SEE YOU!!!!!!!!" I didn't think anything of it and we walked to the car all the while hearing this woman from the other end of the parking lot screaming, "I CAN SEEEEEEEEE YOU!!!!!!" We had another stop to make and we drove to the grocery store. I notice this woman had followed us and was circling the parking lot. We got out of the car and walked toward the entrance of the grocery store and she speeds up next to us and screams from her car with her passenger window rolled down, "I CAN STILL SEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOU!!!!!!!!!!" I blew her a kiss. Guess I should have not mumbled about being invisible, but still, if she had done this to the wrong person it may not have ended well for her. People just don't know how to let things go these days it seems.

Well? And you can't say Hitchcock, since he only did suspense stuff.

Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan, Cheyenne Jackson (for a time) - that's a lot of crazy under one roof. Did Tina Fey and Jane Krakowski get along? Jane was not the first choice for the female sidekick role - Fey's friend Rachel Dratch was. Plus you had Elaine Stritch hanging around sometimes.

No need to get the crumpets out, kids, ’cause the tea has been spilled. Remember that 52-second “sex tape” allegedly of noted non-Nazi Cheyenne Jackson? Well, like the glorious stunt queens before him — namely Paris Hilton and more successfully, Kim Kardashian-West (the queen of all stunt queens) — Cheyenne is relishing in the amateurishly-lit spotlight. Or is that Ms. Jackson, if you’re nasty? According to the New York Daily News, “one of Jackson’s pals confirmed” that the nude, tattooed dude in the short clip is “definitely” Jackson. That supposed pal went on to say that the actor loves the press because Ms. Thing has bills to pay. With a new CD, I’m Blue, Skies, out and a recently finished run at New York’s famed Birdland Jazz Club, that fairweather friend said the non-scandal “can only help.” “Let’s just say he’s not doing anything to stop the presses over the tape,” Jackson’s pal claimed. Meanwhile, NYDN ran into Cheyenne at a Q&A and CD signing on Monday at the Drama Book Shop, where they asked him about the tape. They got what passes for proof-positive in the land of the Daily News: “he shook his head as if to say no comment and smiled at us.”

How do they do the quick change with the pink vests in "Turn it Off"? I've seen the show twice and I'm dying for a definitive answer. Are the vests tucked into their pants and then quickly pulled up and over their heads? Do the two dancers who are added to the number in the dark have something to do with it? I can't believe there's time for those two guys to bring out the vests and pass them out during those brief few seconds.

Recent anti-gay propaganda laws in Russian have made LGBT life dangerous. This documentary looks at modern gay life in my home country. I am currently finishing a feature length documentary "Campaign of Hate: Russia and Gay Propaganda" about gay life in modern Russia. Since growing up as a confused gay child in the former Soviet Union, it has been my dream to show the world a vision of what it is like to be a member of the LGBT community in my former homeland. As most of the world moves forward toward gay equality, Russia is seemingly heading backward. Antigay sentiment and legislation are spreading rapidly throughout the country. Earlier this year, the Russian parliament passed a ban on so-called “gay propaganda” that effectively makes nearly any public discussion of gay equality a crime. The city of Moscow has outlawed Gay Pride parades for the next 100 years. Adoption of Russian children is forbidden to citizens of any foreign country that permits gay marriage. And legislation is now being considered that would permit the Russian government to remove gay people’s children from their homes. The Kremlin has chosen the LGBT community as its scapegoat in a populist campaign against supposedly decadent “Western” values, and there are ominous signs of much worse to come. Violent attacks against Russian gays or suspected gays are more and more common. Videos of young LGBT people being taunted and tortured have been widely distributed on the Internet. Those are the stories that get the headlines, but there is much more to the Russian LGBT men and woman I have met. It is my hope that this documentary will educate viewers to their reality....

Before the Affordable Care Act became law in 2010, President Obama promised Americans they could keep their healthcare plan if they liked it. But already hundreds of thousands of citizens are receiving notification that their plans are being cancelled because they don't comply with the new law, and, according to NBC News, the Obama administration has known for at least three years the cancellations were coming. While campaigning for health care reform in 2009, Obama went out of his way to make one thing perfectly clear: if you like your current health care plan, you will be able to keep it. On June 15, 2009, Obama said this: "We will keep this promise to the American people. If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your healthcare plan, you will be able to keep your healthcare plan. Period.” In 2012, he echoed that sentiment, saying, "“If [you] already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance.” However, many are finding that not to be the case. More than 300,000 cancellation notices have been sent out in Florida, according to Kaiser Health News, and another 180,000 in California. In New Jersey, the number of cancellations tops 800,000, the Star-Ledger reports. According to NBC News, approximately 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million Americans who buy their health insurance individually should expect to receive a cancellation letter over the next year "because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new health care law." This could result in millions of Americans being forced to purchase different policies, potentially at higher premiums. Top 5 Product Launch FailuresPlay video." Top 5 Product Launch Failures So how did the Obama administration know the cancellations would be coming? The Affordable Care Act states that people who had health insurance prior to March 23, 2010 – the day President Obama signed the bill into law – will be able to keep those policies even if they don't meet the requirements of the new law. However, the Department of Health and Human Services tightened that provision, so that "if any part of a policy was significantly changed since that date -- the deductible, co-pay, or benefits, for example -- the policy would not be grandfathered," NBC News reports. Because the market for individual insurance experiences significant turnover, the insinuation is the Obama administration had to have known many policies "grandfathered" in would not qualify for the ACA. NBC News claims that the administration knew in 2010 that "more than 40 to 67 percent of those in the individual market would not be able to keep their plans, even if they liked them." “This says that when they made the promise [that individuals could keep their plans], they knew half the people in this market outright couldn’t keep what they had and then they wrote the rules so that others couldn’t make it either,” Robert Laszewski of Health Policy and Strategy Associates told NBC News. Monday, former Obama adviser David Axelrod said on MSNBC's Morning Joe that "most people are going to keep their own plan." When asked about Axelrod's admission of "most" as opposed to all, White House spokesman Jay Carney acknowledge that some individual's plans will be cancelled, but countered that the plans they switch to will be better and affordable. "What the president said and what everybody said all along is that there are going to be changes brought about by the Affordable Care Act to create minimum standards of coverage," Carney said. "… So it's true that there are existing health-care plans on the individual market that don't meet those minimum standards and therefore do not qualify for the Affordable Care Act." Actually, what the President said back in 2009 was "[the Affordable Care Act] is for people who aren’t happy with their current plan. If you like what you’re getting, keep it. Nobody is forcing you to shift." Only now, some who like their plans are being forced, including Laszewski. According to NBC News, he has a so-called "Cadillac plan" – "the best

Upon further reflection he really was not a nice guy or a good person.. One of those guys who is very affectionate and loving when he drinks and could care less about you when he is sober. He was handsome and part of me fell in love with him, and I realize this now. Does the hurt ever stop when you lose someone you love? The world has taken on an almost vicious vibe to me. I do not have any brothers or sisters and just a few close friends, so losing someone to me is a big,big deal. Whereas he has a huge loving family and an endless stream of friends. He actually couldn't care less. Just curious. I have never been so depressed and I feel like it will never end.

I fully support breast cancer awareness and do one of the walks with my boyfriend's sister every single year for the past 4 years. However, I never see any heavy public push for 'mens' cancers; those cancers which kill many men such as colorectal, testicular etc.. Everywhere you look, products in the stores are emblazoned with the pink ribbon, in my state there are those pink ribbon license plates and I swear it seems like every other person has one. The NFL and major league baseball go totally pink during this time of year to the point of being slightly absurd. The network news will have long packages covering the plight of those suffering from breast cancer and/or who've overcome it. Those are all really great things, but colon cancer and testicular cancers kill many men every year; perhaps less than breast cancer but not by so much as to ignore it. There are also men with breast cancer, but one would think breast cancer is a strictly female thing, even though it overwhelmingly affects women. Isn't there some way to bring the plight of mens' cancers more to the forefront? Or, how about just a pop culture push to make everyone aware of all cancer? Maybe a new logo or ribbon which would bring to mind cancers suffered by all people regardless of sex or race?

I'm counting on DL to point out the differences. I've avoided getting involved with bisexual men for years - not for any issue with their own sexual orientation but because, based on my experiences, I've always felt they were different from gay men. But I met a really great guy and we're very attracted to one another. So I thought I'd break my rule and give it a go. We've had a few dates and have a lot of chemistry. I've made it clear that I'm not a bottom, that I'm versatile, that I'm gay and that I'm a grown man. I feel strongly that his sexuality shouldn't define mine in a limiting way. I've been pretty persuasive about the joys of ass play and I haven't been aggressive and have promised to take my time with him, etc. His comfort level is my highest concern. And he has a gorgeous ass. But he's a bit of a tease, a bit coy. He says things like, "If you're lucky, maybe I'll let you do this...," etc. I suppose a certain amount of negotiation is to be expected but it makes think what I've always thought about this equation - bisexual men just want to control everything. Any experience here?

But Nancy Silberkleit's lawyer says the lawsuit is bogus because white men aren't members of a "protected class," reports the New York Daily News. The $3.25-million lawsuit by five Archie employees alleges Silberkleit used her "gender as a weapon" by yelling "Penis! Penis! Penis!" during a meeting. What's more, the plaintiffs allege she used the term for their names regularly, brought Hells Angels to the office to intimidate them, repeatedly made reference to her late husband's handgun and 750 rounds of ammo supposedly kept in the office and stalked employees and their families. Silberkleit has denied the allegations, calling them "cruel and mean and inaccurate." The 59-year-old took over the role of co-CEO after her husband's death in 2008.

It has been many years since she died, even more since she sat next to her husband as his head was shot off. I was born after that, and my parents always had mixed things to say about her. She "held the country together" but then she made the "bone headed move" [my Mom with a rosary] of marrying Onassis. Enough time has gone by. How does History remember her. How do the fine folks of Datalounge?

Trannies and Intersex (whatever that is) were bad enough now people who don't want to be referred to by any gender now need to be included in the GLBIT identity. I don't even know where to begin with this. Obviously, there is no excuse for the asshole who set this person's skirt on fire, and I hope he gets savagely raped in prison, but I don't want to be associated with someone's mental illness. "After 18-year-old Luke "Sasha" Fleischman was set afire last week for wearing a skirt on an Oakland bus, students at Maybeck High in Berkeley wore skirts and kilts to school in a show of solidarity for their classmate. Since the attack, donations of more than $20,000 have poured in to help with the teenager's medical bills, as the story garnered international attention - and outrage. The brutal act, coupled with the kind response, put a new spotlight on gender nonconformity, an issue long championed by the LGBT community but one that is gaining increasing attention on the streets, in schools and from legislatures. It's an issue that could even affect our language, in the form of new gender-neutral pronouns being discussed on college campuses. Awareness growing Experts say there is still much work to be done for a broader understanding of gender nonconformity, a phenomenon that often starts in childhood, when youngsters don't conform to gender expectations in their dress or other behaviors. But the violent Fleischman case underscores the fact that the public at large is becoming more aware of the issue. "I was horrified by what Sasha has gone through, but I was heartened by the response," said Carolyn Laub, executive director of the Gay Straight Alliance Network, a youth leadership organization fighting gender oppression and stereotyping in schools. "So I was struck by this dissonance. What this tells me is that there is a strong level of support in this person's life, but there is hostility and violence in another part." Fleischman, who identifies as "agender" or "gender queer" and has an affinity for wearing skirts, was heading home to East Oakland from Maybeck at the time of the attack. The suspect, 16-year-old Oakland resident Richard Thomas, reportedly admitted to police that he was "homophobic." Fleischman is now at St. Francis Memorial Hospital and will require numerous surgeries for second- and third-degree burns. "It's that jarring contrast between support and rejection," Laub said, "that presents a larger message about where we are as a culture." Few would dispute that gender nonconformity is taking a more prominent place in culture. More than 60 percent of public high schools in California have gay straight alliance clubs on campus, operating under the umbrella Gay Straight Alliance Network. Some colleges have added "neither" to the male and female gender categories on new student applications. Documentaries such as "Straightlaced: How Gender's Got Us All Tied Up" and "It's Elementary: Talking about Gay Issues in School" have been shown in hundreds of primary and secondary schools across the state. And earlier this year, the School Success and Opportunities Act was passed in California, reaffirming existing antidiscrimination laws requiring that transgender students be provided with the safe and supportive school environment needed to succeed. Adjusting the language Linguists are getting in on the act, too. New gender-neutral pronouns are being introduced on college campuses, including at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Vanderbilt University, with suggested usages including "ze" rather than "she" and "he." The plural "they" is being used as a gender-neutral term for the singular "he" or "she." Nevertheless, high rates of violence directed at people who don't conform to gender norms persist, said Rebecca Rolfe, executive director of the San Francisco LGBT Community Center. "I've been doing this work for years, and there has been added public awareness, but it's still a new issue for most people. Most people don't know someone who is gender neutral, or don't know someone who is transgender."

I spent more than an hour tonight gchatting with a F2M transgender person. He and I met on CL more than a month ago, but we have not actually met in person. We have traded photos. Our chat tonight was not exclusively about sex, but some of it was. I'm seriously considering meeting him and the possibility of having sex. The thing on my mind is he has a vagina. He calls it a pussy. I have never had sex with a female, but frankly, I consider him a male. I would not be attracted to a female or ever consider having sex with one. I am 53 year old gay man. I came out when i was 22. I have had probably 1,500 male sex partners. The idea of him blowing me, which he says he wants to do bad, turns me on. But so does the idea of frontal intercourse. THAT IS REALLY ODD, and Im trying to figure out what that means or what is behind that. I'm just wondering if this is something I might regret later in that I question to some extent my own identity. I never went through that "I'm bi" stage or any of that shit. When I decided to come out, I just did it. I dated girls in college, quite a few actually, but at the end of college, I made a clean break from all my fraternity brothers and the girls i dated and really just sort of went off and started a new life. Oddly, I'm not interested in kissing this guy at all. He is relatively attractive to me, but I am attracted to all sizes and shapes of men. So, DLs, what should I do? Is it crazy for a confirmed gay man of 30-years to be interested in sex with a man who has a vagina? Does that mean I am bisexual? I'm seriously confused. And this is NOT an EST.

Yay!

What is happening here on DL? There is a new 900 page Barbara Stanwyck biography by Victoria Wilson, and unless I'm missing something, no one on DL has mentioned it. The book is actually the first volume of the bio that Wilson is writing, and deals with the years 1907 - 1940. It covers her marriage to Frank Fay, her romance with Frank Capra, who made her a star, and second marriage to Robert Taylor. The reviews I have read say nothing about Stanwyck as a lesbian. Maybe Stanwyck didn't turn to the ladies for love until later in life.

Anybody else ever notice the history of thefts by LBGT people from charities that are intended to help the LBGT community? I'm thinking of the defunct Boston-to-NYC AIDS Ride; or more recently, the Boston Living Center scandal. I recall that during the March on DC in the early 1990s, there were guys on street corners collecting garbage bags full of dollars for some LBGT charity, but the organizer just picked-up and fled with all the bags, over $100,000 at the time, worth so much more in today's dollars. There are more, I can't recall right now. What's to make of this sleazy history?

NEW YORK — In the not-too-distant future, Amazon deliveries could come by air directly to your doorstep. The online mega-retailer unveiled plans on Sunday for a new delivery service called Prime Air, which uses unmanned aerial vehicles — or drones — that look like toy helicopters. The “octocopters” aren’t ready to take flight yet. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said in an interview on 60 Minutes that the drones would be ready to take flight in four to five years. But an Amazon spokesperson pointed to an updated post on the company’s website promising aerial deliveries as soon as federal rules change. Those FAA rules could come as soon as 2015. The type of flights Bezos proposed are currently not allowed. Unlike some other drones currently used, these would be autonomous — they would fly without a pilot. “I know this looks like science fiction. It’s not,” Bezos said in the CBS interview. “It drops the package. You come and get your package and we can do half-hour deliveries.” Bezos said the drone models Amazon is currently testing have a range of 10 miles and can handle products under five pounds, which is nearly 90% of the company’s offerings. “It won’t work for everything,” Bezos said. “We’re not going to deliver kayaks, or table saws this way.” Amazon has long used innovative delivery strategies to gain an advantage over other retailers. Its warehouses, called fulfillment centers, are famously efficient. The company was also quick to recognize the promise of free shipping on larger purchases, and its Prime service now offers free shipping for a flat annual fee. Other companies including pizza chain Dominos have floated the idea of using delivery drones. All have to consider what Bezos described as a key concern: “This thing can’t land on somebody’s head while they’re walking around their neighborhood.”

Amazon Says Drone Deliveries Are the Future

(CNN) -- An 85-year-old American man on an organized tour of North Korea was pulled off a plane in Pyongyang just minutes before it was to depart, the man's son told CNN on Wednesday. The family has had no contact with Merrill Newman of Palo Alto, California, since he was detained on October 26, his son Jeff Newman said. "This is a misunderstanding. My father is a (Korean War) veteran and wanted to see the country and culture he has been interested in for years," Jeff Newman said. "He arranged this with a travel agent that was recommended and said was approved by the North Korean government for travel of foreigners. He had all the proper visas." The U.S. State Department is working to resolve the matter with North Korea's top ally, China. Ambassador Glyn Davies, the U.S. special representative for North Korean policy, met with his Chinese counterpart in Beijing for several hours Thursday. "We are working very hard ... to try to move this issue along," Davies said after the session. "We certainly think that North Korea should think long and hard about (this) and understand that for the United States, this is a matter of core concern for us." The relationship between North Korea and Washington has been especially testy in recent years as the United States and other world powers have tried to limit the nation's nuclear ambitions. On Tuesday, the State Department warned Americans not to travel to North Korea. Previously, the agency had warned U.S. citizens of the "serious risks" of travel to the reclusive country -- including arbitrary arrest for what would be innocuous acts elsewhere. But its last travel warning, issued on October 1, didn't include the stronger language advising against all travel. Newman's arrest appears to be "an indication that North Korea seems not to be seeking a better relationship with United States," Davies said. "They are not taking action to address our concerns." Jeff Newman said his family has been working through the State Department since they found out that his father was being held. "We've worked through the State Department from the day he was supposed to depart," Newman said later on CNN's AC360. "... We've heard nothing." Newman said what he has heard has primarily come from his father's traveling companion, who was on the plane when he was taken off. He identified the traveling companion as Bob Hamrdla, a friend who lives in the same retirement community. North Korea has not publicly acknowledged it detained Newman. But the family believes the elder Newman's military service during the Korean War may be related to his detention, his son said. Park Syung-je, chairman of the Seoul-based Asia Strategy Institute, says Newman may have been arrested on espionage charges. As a Korean War veteran, Newman might have told his minders he fought against North Korea. They may have reported it, and it resulted in his detention. Pyongyang previously announced that the safety of Americans cannot be guaranteed on North Korean soil. Meeting with authorities The day before Newman was to leave North Korea, he and his tour guide met with "one or two Korean authorities," his son said. During that meeting, Newman's service record was discussed, he said. "I understand my dad was a bit bothered," Newman said. But neither he nor his traveling companion believed there was an issue. The next day, Newman and Hamrdla boarded a plane for Beijing. Five minutes before the plane was to depart, authorities boarded and asked to see Newman's passport, his son said. According to the traveling companion's account, the authorities then asked the elder Newman to leave the plane with them, Jeff Newman said. When the plane landed, Hamrdla immediately contacted the U.S. Embassy in Beijing to report Newman had been taken off the plane, the younger Newman said. Why do people want to visit North Korea? 'Trip of a lifetime' The elder Newman was enjoying the trip and called home from North Korea to tell his wife about it, his son said. The family also received postcards sent by Newman during the tour of North Korea

I spent New Year's Eve at the red-blooded, all-American epicenter of college football: at the Chick-fil-A Bowl, next to Dan Cathy, as his personal guest. It was among the most unexpected moments of my life. Yes, after months of personal phone calls, text messages and in-person meetings, I am coming out in a new way, as a friend of Chick-fil-A's president and COO, Dan Cathy, and I am nervous about it. I have come to know him and Chick-fil-A in ways that I would not have thought possible when I first started hearing from LGBT students about their concerns over the chicken chain's giving practices. For many this news of friendship might be shocking. After all, I am an out, 40-year-old gay man and a lifelong activist for equality. I am also the founder and executive director of Campus Pride, the leading national organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and ally college students. Just seven months ago our organization advanced a national campaign against Chick-fil-A for the millions of dollars it donated to anti-LGBT organizations and divisive political groups that work each day to harm hardworking LGBT young people, adults and our families. I have spent quite some time being angry at and deeply distrustful of Dan Cathy and Chick-fil-A. If he had his way, my husband of 18 years and I would never be legally married. Why was I now standing next to him at one of the most popular football showdowns? How could I dare think to have a relationship with a man and a company that have advocated against who I am; who would take apart my family in the name of "traditional marriage"; whose voice and views represented exactly the opposite of those of the students for whom I advocate every day? Dan is the problem, and Chick-fil-A is the enemy, right? Like most LGBT people, I was provoked by Dan's public opposition to marriage equality and his company's problematic giving history. I had the background and history on him, so I thought, and had my own preconceived notions about who he was. I knew this character. No way did he know me. That was my view. But it was flawed. For nearly a decade now, my organization, Campus Pride, has been on the ground with student leaders protesting Chick-fil-A at campuses across the country. I had researched Chick-fil-A's nearly $5 million in funding, given since 2003, to anti-LGBT groups. And the whole nation was aware that Dan was "guilty as charged" in his support of a "biblical definition" of marriage. What more was there to know? On Aug. 10, 2012, in the heat of the controversy, I got a surprise call from Dan Cathy. He had gotten my cell phone number from a mutual business contact serving campus groups. I took the call with great caution. He was going to tear me apart, right? Give me a piece of his mind? Turn his lawyers on me? The first call lasted over an hour, and the private conversation led to more calls the next week and the week after. Dan Cathy knew how to text, and he would reach out to me as new questions came to his mind. This was not going to be a typical turn of events. His questions and a series of deeper conversations ultimately led to a number of in-person meetings with Dan and representatives from Chick-fil-A. He had never before had such dialogue with any member of the LGBT community. It was awkward at times but always genuine and kind. It is not often that people with deeply held and completely opposing viewpoints actually risk sitting down and listening to one another. We see this failure to listen and learn in our government, in our communities and in our own families. Dan Cathy and I would, together, try to do better than each of us had experienced before. Never once did Dan or anyone from Chick-fil-A ask for Campus Pride to stop protesting Chick-fil-A. On the contrary, Dan listened intently to our concerns and the real-life accounts from youth about the negative impact that Chick-fil-A was having on campus climate and safety at colleges across the country. He was concerned about an incident last fall where a fraternity was tabling next to the Chick-fil-A restaurant on campus. Whenever an out gay student on campus would walk past the table, the fraternity would chant, "We love Chick-fil-A," and then shout anti-gay slurs at the student. Dan sought first to understand, not to be understood. He confessed that he had been naïve to the issues at hand and the unintended impact of his company's actions. Chick-fil-A also provided access to internal documents related to the funding of anti-LGBT groups and asked questions about our concerns related to this funding. An internal document, titled "Who We Are," expressed Chick-fil-A's values, which included their commitment "to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect," including LGBT people. Dan and his family members had personally drafted, refined and approved the document. Through all this, Dan and I shared respectful, enduring communication and built trust. His demeanor has always been one of kindness and openness. Even when I continued to directly question his public actions and the funding decisions, Dan embraced the opportunity to have dialogue and hear my perspective. He and I were committed to a better understanding of one another. Our mutual hope was to find common ground if possible, and to build respect no matter what. We learned about each other as people with opposing views, not as opposing people. During our meetings I came to see that the Chick-fil-A brand was being used by both sides of the political debate around gay marriage. The repercussion of this was a deep division and polarization that was fueling feelings of hate on all sides. As a result, we agreed to keep the ongoing nature of our meetings private for the time being. The fire needed no more fuel. Throughout the conversations Dan expressed a sincere interest in my life, wanting to get to know me on a personal level. He wanted to know about where I grew up, my faith, my family, even my husband, Tommy. In return, I learned about his wife and kids and gained an appreciation for his devout belief in Jesus Christ and his commitment to being "a follower of Christ" more than a "Christian." Dan expressed regret and genuine sadness when he heard of people being treated unkindly in the name of Chick-fil-a -- but he offered no apologies for his genuine beliefs about marriage. And in that we had great commonality: We were each entirely ourselves. We both wanted to be respected and for others to understand our views. Neither of us could -- or would -- change. It was not possible. We were different but in dialogue. That was progress. In many ways, getting to know Dan better has reminded me of my relationship with my uncle, who is a pastor at a Pentecostal church. When I came out as openly gay in college, I was aware that his religious views were not supportive of homosexuality. But my personal relationship with my uncle reassured me of his love for me -- and that love extends to my husband. My uncle would never want to see any harm come to me or Tommy. His beliefs prevented him from fully reconciling what he understood as the immorality of homosexuality with the morality of loving and supporting me and my life. It was, and remains, an unsolvable riddle for him, hating the sin and loving the sinner. My relationship with Dan is the same, though he is not my family. Dan, in his heart, is driven by his desire to minister to others and had to choose to continue our relationship throughout this controversy. He had to both hold to his beliefs and welcome me into them. He had to face the issue of respecting my viewpoints and life even while not being able to reconcile them with his belief system. He defined this to me as "the blessing of growth." He expanded his world without abandoning it. I did, as well. As Dan and I grew through mutual dialogue and respect, he invited me to be his personal guest on New Year's Eve at the Chick-fil-A Bowl. This was an event that Campus Pride and others had planned to protest. Had I been played? Seduced into his billionaire's life? No. It was Dan who took a great risk in inviting me: He stood to face the ire of his conservative base (and a potential boycott) by being seen or photographed with an LGBT activist. He could have been portrayed as "caving to the gay agenda" by welcoming me. Instead, he stood next to me most of the night, putting respect ahead of fear. There we were on the sidelines, Dan, his wife, his family and friends and I, all enjoying the game. And that is why building a relationship with someone I thought I would never understand mattered. Our worlds, different as they can be, could coexist peacefully. The millions of college football fans watching the game never could have imagined what was playing out right in front of them. Gay and straight, liberal and conservative, activist and evangelist -- we could stand together in our difference and in our respect. How much better would our world be if more could do the same? This past week Chick-fil-A shared with me the 2011 IRS Form 990, filed in November for the WinShape Foundation, along with 2012 financials. The IRS has not released the 990 to the public yet, but the financials affirm Chick-fil-A's values a year prior to the controversy this past July. The nearly $6 million in outside grant funding focuses on youth, education, marriage enrichment and local communities. The funding reflects Chick-fil-A's promised commitment not to engage in "political or social debates," and the most divisive, anti-LGBT groups are no longer listed. Even as Campus Pride and so many in the community protested Chick-fil-A and its funding of groups like Family Research Council, Eagle Forum and Exodus International, the funding of these groups had already stopped. Dan Cathy and Chick-fil-A could have noted this publicly earlier. Instead, they chose to be patient, to engage in private dialogue, to reach understanding,and to share proof with me when it was official. There was no "caving"; there were no "concessions." There was, in my view, conscience. This is why, after discussions with Dan and Chick-fil-A, Campus Pride suspended our campaign. Like Dan, we had faith. It took time to be proven publicly. Now it is all about the future, one defined, let's hope, by continued mutual respect. I will not change my views, and Dan will likely not change his, but we can continue to listen, learn and appreciate "the blessing of growth" that happens when we know each other better. I hope that our nation's political leaders and campus leaders might do the same. In the end, it is not about eating (or eating a certain chicken sandwich). It is about sitting down at a table together and sharing our views as human beings, engaged in real, respectful, civil dialogue. Dan would probably call this act the biblical definition of hospitality. I would call it human decency. So long as we are all at the same table and talking, does it matter what we call it or what we eat?

Gay Man 'Comes Out' As A Friend Of Chick-Fil-A President Dan Cathy, Reveals The Details Of Their Friendship

There's an uptick in discussion about her around the internet and I just noticed someone mentioned her on the 2014 comings out thread. I know she's gay-friendly, but where are people getting that she has a gf?

WTF was his problem?

How many times have you "fallen" for ads like this.

Gays and Body Obsession

Either because of societal changes, the fact that we just now know better, etc. I'll start. This was the 80s and my 12th grade government teacher, routinely fucked students. It was an open secret and no one cared or stopped it. In fact, it was kind of expected and laughed about.

Post your TRUE stories of meeting a (seemingly) heterosexual man or woman who immediately started giving off the vibe that they were interested in you. Were they married or single? What did they do to show their interest and how did you respond? What was the outcome? No "straight-acting" fantasies or anything along those lines. This is for true stories.

The 44 Worst People in Every Restaurant

Sometimes the commentaries on DVDs are complete disasters, as when the director and a couple of pals babble through the length of the movie and never refer to what's happening! Or when an academic reads a paper while the movie plays, again without ever referring to it! But some commentaries are wonderful. What are the best ones you've seen? My contribution: Todd Haynes' commentary on "Far from Heaven." Informative, intelligent, graceful.

For some reason she gets a bad rap on this board, but I happen to love her. She's smart and witty and funny. She has a very positive aura. She has a good heart and really seems to care about finding true love for her millionaire clients. She also happens to look amazing. I can't believe she's in her 50s. She looks a good 10-15 years younger than her age. I know she's had trouble finding true love for herself, which is really a shame because she has so much love to give. I love her and her entertaining BRAVO show. I always try to catch it Thursdays at 9 or the rerun the following Tuesday at 10.

I know I''m probably late with this, but I just discovered him today. Canadian model and occasional actor Thierry Pepin.

After two months, I have finally cleaned out my damned DVR. All programs watched, I'm all up to date on all of my shows. Thank the lord jesus christ for giving us this long holiday weekend. Is there a better feeling than a clean DVR?

Will Ferrell assumes his alter ego behind the anchors' desk of a local newscast, as part of press tour for Anchorman 2 ----- Is it only me or does this Will Ferrell / Ron Burgundy schtick really annoy anyone else. I get it -- Ferrell is playing a fictional character and bringing him into the real world. But isn't it a bit of overkill (or overhype, as the case might be)? In the past, the world didn't need Clark Gable playing Rhett Butler showing up in Atlanta or Audrey Hepburn appearing at Tiffany's in character as Holly Golightly. Not to mention that many news broadcasts are jokes in themselves, but to have a fictional "jokey" character reporting the top stories?

Ron Burgundy is real-life anchorman in Bismarck, North Dakota

I was listening to Justin Bieber's new song released today called "Change Me" and I thought what if there was a pill available that could change your feelings and make you 100% heterosexual. How many of you all would take it?

If There Was A Pill Available To Make You 100% Heterosexual Would You Take It?

Because it's time... Because I just saw him on Nightline reporting live, and he'll be on GMA tomorrow, so no sleep for our Davey. Will he get a room at the Empire Hotel - just for old times' sake? And speaking of trois, who would be in his menage a trois? David, Peter Jennings, and Diane Sawyer working the dildo.
