Adrian Lyne is one that comes to mind. All of his films have a look that immediately lets you know it's his film (brightly lit backgrounds, foggy atmosphere, shaky camera, quick cuts, etc.)
They were lame and overrated. I'm sick if people telling me I "have to" like this shit. Can we just move on from the baby boomer dominated pop culture?

Me, any picture in a history book of ancient Greeks in the nude. I had no way of knowing this at the time, but the guy who illustrated some of the Look and Learn magazine ,I pounded over, again ancient Greece was gay and has since illustrated a lot of Gay Porn. I also was infatuated with Aquaman and Mark Goddard from Lost in Space. Who did you lust after growing up?
altho he's boring as fuck.
Thank God for the tips, or else bartending in a gay club would not be worth it. Everyone treats you like you're for sale. 1)Just because my shirt is off doesn't mean I'm going to fuck you. 2) Just because you tip me $20 doesn't mean I'm going to fuck you. 3) Just because you know someone who knows someone that I hooked up with, doesn't mean I'm going to fuck you. 4) Just because you giggle and act like a 12 year old girl, doesn't mean I'm going to fuck you. 5) Just because you're a regular and I just happened to remember your face and your drink order, doesn't mean I'm going to fuck you. Thanks!!

Who was she before Saturday Night Fever and what happened to her afterwards? She was a bad actress and not that attractive. I never could figure out why Tony was so hot after her.
Thankfully all are fine and no injuries. But don't those slides look huge?!
I cannot believe how many hot men she has had. Justin Timberlake, Adam Levine, Heath Ledger, Colin Ferrell. It isn't fair.

Speaking to Spanish-language media health care town hall meeting last week, President Obama dismissed concerns from a low-income man that the monthly premiums for the cheapest plans were too expensive for his family to afford. The president said the man should "prioritize health care" and cut spending on things like cable, cell phone, and other things to afford insurance. The host of the town hall read the following to the president: This question here comes from a gentleman who says that, yes, he wanted Obamacare for a family of three. He says, "I make about $36,000 per year. The minimum amount is $350 per month. I think that's too much for me." That's a question from this gentleman here. Who then responded, naturally, by blaming the consumer instead of the unaffordability of the "Affordable" Care Act plans. I guess what I would say, if you looked at that person's budget, and you looked at their cable bill, their cell phone bill, other things that they're spending on, it may turn out that it's just they haven't prioritized health care because right now everybody is healthy. I don't think it's likely that someone who makes around $36,000 a year is subscribed to premium cable channels and expensive cell phone coverage. Unlike the current health insurance market, affordable alternatives to expensive plans for cell phones exist. At Walmart, a consumer can purchase home telephone service for $15 a month, or could buy unlimited cell phone service for six months for only $249.99. That breaks down to about $41.50 a month for cell phone (and, by virtue of a smartphone, which can be purchased for around $50) and internet service. That's far less expensive than over $300 a month for health insurance, plus the plans with lower premiums carry comparatively high deductibles. Even if the premiums were subsidized via some sort of credit, it's still asking quite a lot of a person to pay the equivalent of a seventh of their income before the plan even kicks in. Also: the man asking the question is healthy. This is just another example of President Obama being condescending and out of touch.

Matthew McConaughey's Oscar-winning month may have set the stage for a history-making awards-show year. A week after McConaughey claimed the Best Actor statuette for "Dallas Buyers Club," the 43-year-old star is the consensus pick of early-bird Emmy pundits to take Outstanding Lead Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries for HBO's "True Detective." If the buzz holds, McConaughey will be the first Best Actor Oscar-winner to take home an Emmy in the same year. "True Detective," costarring McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as cops on the trail of a serial killer, wrapped its eight-episode inaugural season on Sunday night before a series-high 3.5 million live TV viewers, HBO reported. At the awards-tracking site Gold Derby, three of the four experts weighing in with Emmy picks have McConaughey as the actor to beat in his presumed category ahead of the likes of Harrelson. Like "American Horror Story," "True Detective" is an anthology that is expected to compete as a miniseries rather than a drama series. McConaughey told the Oscar press last week he won't be back for a second round of "True Detective." If McConaughey pulls off the Oscar-Emmy year, he'll be the first male actor to do so. The select bunch includes only actresses: Helen Hunt, Meryl Streep, and Helen Mirren. Liza Minnelli also pulled off the feat — it was half of her EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony); her "Cabaret" director Bob Fosse also scored the double wins.

“We’re really excited to officially welcome Tamron into the TODAY family,” the show's executive producer Don Nash said in a statement from NBC News. “She brings wit, enthusiasm and a keen sensibility to an all-around fantastic team, and I think Tamron, Al, Natalie and Willie will have a lot of fun together hosting the third hour.”
Okay granted I am not from the south but is it typical for late forties and early fifties men to social friends with 20-30 somethings? Case #1 Thomas Ravenel who is 51 years old, been indicted for selling cocaine and forced to step down as state treasurer now wants to run for congress as a "Libertarian"." Episode two showed a picture of his father with a very large confederate flag draped across the steps of the state capitol. Racist much? Case #2 Whitney Sudler Smith - 41 year old "film maker" who lives with his mother. The rest of the cast seem in the late 20's to early 30's. Thomas seems to think he is quite the stud man about town....given he is handsome and rich he is also racist and vile.

I lost my wallet on a major street on the way to work. There was over $300 in it. A woman--a nurse in the ER close by--found it, called me and returned it totally intact. I tried to give her the money as a token of my appreciation, but she rejected it, hugged me and said, "it's all good." How can I thank her? I really want to.

This is a real doozie. It's not even a news story taking place in the USA. It's about a school in Ottawa, Canada.
After a 40-year-old man was found by the side of the road with his penis severed and nowhere to be found, police shut down 4 lanes of traffic to search for the missing member. The man was discovered early Thursday morning off the A66 highway in Middlesbrough, U.K., with "wounds to his groin area." He was taken to the hospital, where he remains in an induced coma. Police still aren't sure how the man's penis came to be severed. A 22-year-old was arrested on suspicion of assault, but later released on bail. The status of the penis is also unclear. The highway was reopened later on Thursday, but authorities haven't announced whether their search was successful.

"Throwback Thursday - I was doing selfies 60 years before you Facebook folks. Eat your heart out Ellen!" the former secretary of state wrote on the social network. A star-studded selfie taken at the Academy Awards that was prompted by host Ellen DeGeneres bested President Barack Obama's record for the most-retweeted tweet of all time.

Congratulations Scotland, Queen gives Royal Assent to same-sex marriage 13th March 2014, 7:10 PM; Joseph Patrick McCormick Same sex marriage is one step closer to becoming a reality in Scotland as its bill to legalise it has received Royal Assent. Queen Elizabeth II signed the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Bill, into law yesterday. This act now means that same-sex couples will be able to marry by the end of 2014. Some early reports indicate that they could take place as soon as July. Today also marks the date that the first same-sex couples in England and Wales can register to marry, and same-sex marriages entered into abroad are now legally recognised there. Congratulations to all of those planning to tie the knot this year, from the PinkNews team.

Forget welfare. Forget food stamps. Forget Obamacare. The most shameful entitlement, at least to Ann Coulter, is sex. In typical Coulter form, she discusses a real problem, which in this case, is single parenthood and poverty, and then, rather than blaming poverty and lack of education on a society that offers little in the way of daycare, parental leave and educational assistance, she blames single parenthood on poor and poorly educated people. She goes on to say that the kindest thing we can do about single parenthood is to be cruel. We need to shame people for having sex. “The one thing that has really changed besides, I mean you have the government often subsidizing bad behavior, you have Hollywood rewarding bad behavior, but there’s also an overwhelming cultural sense, I think it is a political correctness, to end shaming,” she said Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference. “No, shaming is good. It’s almost a cruel and insensitive thing for the upper classes, the educated, the college graduates, to refuse to tell poor people ‘keep your knees together before you get married.’”
Ann Coulter Wants To See Your Credit Report Before Letting You Have Sex
In his blockbuster biography, “Joan Crawford, Hollywood Martyr”, author David Bret reveals that the gritty but glamorous actress grew up with a sadistic brother and an abusive stepdad, bedded a slew of matinee idols during her five marriages, once tried to seduce gay heartthrob Rock Hudson by asking him to pretend she was Clark Gable, and forced FBI director J. Edgar Hoover to erase her sex arrest record by threatening to expose him as a drag queen! Born Lucille Fay LeSueur in San Antonio, Texas, the future star was terrorized by her older brother Hal, who enjoyed locking her up in dark closets. Her single mom Anna was the local tramp until she married a deliveryman named Harry Hough. Bret says Hough had a lust for very young girls and attempted to rape his stepdaughter. By the time Crawford was 14, she was already following in her mom’s sleazy footsteps, entertaining boys from the local high school football team – and demanding money for her services. A few years later, she launched her film career via the “casting couch” at MGM studios, infamously quipping, “It sure beat the cold, hard floor.” Crawford’s career spanned 50 years and 80 movies – and her sex life was equally prolific. Bret says she slept with a veritable Who’s Who of Hollywood hunks, including Glenn Ford, John Wayne, Yul Brenner, Jeff Chandler, Dana Andrews, Kirk Douglas and even 17-year-old Our Gang alum Jackie Cooper. But she had a special fondness for bisexual men, accounting for three of her five husbands. She even tried to seduce notoriously gay Rock Hudson, creeping naked into a shower with him and purring in his ear, “Close your eyes and pretend I’m Clark Gable.” Gable was the closest Crawford would get to true love. Bret says he fit her mold – a strappingly handsome actor, who before hitting it big was known to flirt with men at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, prepared to “do anything” for money. “She fell on him like a sex-starved bird of prey,” Bret writes, noting that their passionate off-and-on affair lasted 28 years despite the fact that Gable was “a closet bisexual with halitosis.” Crawford had a closet stuffed with skeletons too – including some pornographic “stag” films and an arrest for prostitution when she was trying to break into showbiz. Bret writes that she and the bigwigs at MGM had to pay off blackmailers from time to time, including her own brother Hal, but Crawford took care of one threat herself. Bret recalls how she once met with FBI chief Hoover and struck a deal – she wouldn’t reveal he was a cross-dresser if he’d destroy all the records proving she’d once been a hooker. She was tough as a wife as well, emasculating her husbands by making them kneel and beg for sex. “Joan Crawford wasn’t the first Hollywood actress to trade sex for stardom,” says Bret. “But few have matched her ruthlessness.”

Not sure there is much in the way of eye candy this season. But I do appreciate an entirely new cast.
This is the gayest thing since Stonewall!!!! My world is rocked.
Seth Rogen is taking a cue from the Lindsay Lohan School of Self Promotion and naming names. But instead of listing his questionable sexual conquests, he's revealing the identities of his famous weed-smoking companions. On Watch What Happens Live Wednesday night, host Andy Cohen ambushed Rogen with the segment "Spill the Herbal Tea." While most of his answers are expected, Rogen manages to shock with at least one non-smoker reveal: o who's guilty? James Franco: "This is really depressing for me to say…I've never smoked weed with James Franco because he doesn't smoke weed. That's why he's such a good actor! It's really sad, actually." Dave Franco: "I don't know, honestly. Maybe sometime throughout the years." Paul Rudd: "Oh yeah, lots of times." Sarah Silverman: "Yes, many times." Snoop Dogg: "Yeah, actually I have." Barbara Streisand: "No, but we talked about it a lot. She smoked weed with Peter Sellers though. That's the craziest shit ever!" Jonah Hill: "Yeah." Willie Nelson: "No, but he's here in town, I think." After shocking the world with the revelation that Franco does not smoke weed, Rogen then moved on to more important topics and addressed his recent tweet calling Justin Bieber a "piece of shit." "In my opinion, Justin Bieber is a piece of s—t," he told Cohen. "He's obnoxious, he's ungrateful, he's insincere. He puts people's lives in danger."
"Senator Muh-muh-McCain? Cuh-cuh-can you tell us why Luh-Libya hasn't ruh-ruh-responded... " Shouldn't he try to fix that? It's not very professional.
It's one of the weirdest things I've ever experienced.it goes for gay men and lesbians with children, too. They really think they have been blessed with superiority over single people because they have kids. They'll deny it if they're not assholes, but they still really believe it, deep down.

Peter Lanza has remained a mystery, until now. The latest issue of the New Yorker includes a profile of Peter Lanza, who was interviewed by writer Andrew Solomon. Lanza said he's constantly thinking about what he could have done differently as a parent, and "Any variation on what I did and how my relationship was had to be good, because no outcome could be worse." But he doesn't think he could have predicted the tragedy. "You can’t get any more evil," he said of Adam, adding, "How much do I beat up on myself about the fact that he’s my son? A lot.” Read link for more.

Michael Bay to produce remake of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds The horror returns as Transformers director revealed as man behind new take on Hitchcock's 1963 frightener, with Naomi Watts set to take Tippi Hedren role Xan Brooks; Thursday 13 March 2014 06.58 EDT Alfred Hitchcock's film The Birds told the story of a rustic seaside town that finds itself menaced by hellish flocks of seagulls and crows. Now the 1963 classic looks set to suffer its own form of molestation courtesy of a Hollywood remake by Transformers director Michael Bay. Loosely adapted from a 1952 short story by Daphne du Maurier, The Birds cast Tippi Hedren in the role of Melanie Daniels, a San Francisco socialite who comes horribly unstuck on a visit to northern California. Reports suggest that Bay's version will return to tale to its original English setting, while Naomi Watts is rumoured to be considering the Hedren role. Variety reports that the film will be directed by the Dutch film-maker Diederik Van Rooijen, with Bay serving as a co-producer. The film looks set to be a co-production between Mandalay Pictures, Universal and Bay's Platinum Dunes production house. It remains to be seen whether the birds will be giant, man-eating birds, or possibly armed with guns. Hitchcock's original film spawned a poorly-received 1994 sequel, The Birds 2: Land's End, which screenwriter Rick Rosenthal later disowned. The idea of a big-budget remake was first mooted in 2007, with Casino Royale's Martin Campbell pencilled in to direct. On hearing the news, Tippi Hedren appeared to be unimpressed. "Why would you do that? Why?" she asked.

Jimmy Kimmel is catching up to Fallon in the ratings. Where is Jay when we need him? "Speaking of Fallon, last night’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon drew a 1.4 rating among adults 18-49 with a total viewership of 4.456 million. That’s down 17% in both categories from the show’s February 26 results. While Fallon was down to his lowest number since taking over The Tonight Show, the other Jimmy was up strong and closing the 11:35 PM gap. With a much stronger Thursday primetime as a near lead-in and Scandal’s Kerry Washington as his main guest, Jimmy Kimmel Live got a 1.0 rating in the demo and an audience of 3.555 million. That’s a 100% leap up among the 18-49s from the night before for Kimmel and a 44% rise in viewership from the 2.456 million viewers of his February 26 show. Last night’s JKL was actually the show’s second most watched episode ever after the 3.642 million who watched the January 24, 2013 “Matt Damon Takeover” show. CBS’s David Letterman had a 0.5 rating with 2.710 million viewers, a slight upturn from the night before. Still the fourth show of the second week of Fallon’s new gig equaled the 1.4 rating that Conan O’Brien got on the fourth night of his second Tonight Show week on June 11, 2009. While the demo rating was on par, like the night before Fallon bested O’Brien’s comparable night’s 3.565 million viewers. Like in metered-market results, Fallon was ahead of the 1.14 rating and 4.066 million viewers that Jay Leno got on the comparable night of his Tonight Show return in 2010.)"
Late night with Jimmy Fallon ratings has dropped to it's lowest ratings since taking over.

I've read rumors elsewhere that he's gay and mentioned this to my boss, who is a lesbian. For some reason she got bent out of shape refusing to entertain the notion that Daniel Craig might be gay. So, IF he is gay, does anyone have some good strong evidence that Daniel Craig is gay that I can present her?
I like him. His characters always make me laugh.
Since we have threads for other shows and I didn't see one for H5O... Not sure how the show is holding up on its change to Friday nights but I think even if it's numbers are down, CBS isn't about to cancel it. Tim Daly guest starred in the latest episode and looked fine. Speaking of looking good, it appeared that Scotty Caan was commando under his gray shorts for the opening and closing sequences. Steve and Wo Fat aren't half-brothers despite fans' beliefs. Unless Steve's DNA test was changed or falsified.

At first thought, I''d think it would be the straight guy, since he''s built to be dominant and fucks pussy on a regular basis, but on second thought, the straight guy may want to play a submissive role when he''s with a man, just to have a nice change from being the dominant one with pussy. Your thoughts on the matter?

To give you a sense of Brandon Ambrosino’s approach on gay issues, he’s a fan of his alma mater’s founder Jerry Falwell, who once claimed “God hates homosexuality” and later blamed gays and feminists for 9/11. Ambrosino has defended Falwell’s record on gay rights, claiming that the Moral Majority founder was simply misunderstood.

What says you? Europe is suppose to be more progressive on social issues. Putting a cap on hate speech is one of the many things they tout as evidence of their country's progressive nature. Just curious. Historically the US has always been behind when it comes to social issues.

...but don't bitch that much about the constant fawning over Daniel "you must address me only by my character's name" Day Lewis: "The greatest actor of his generation" (bitch, please). He gets nominated almost every time he farts. And he's the only male actor every to have 3 leading performance Oscars. Is it because Streep is a woman?
I'm binge watching Hell on Wheels on NetFlix, and wondering why on earth we haven't discussed Anson Mount, the lead actor. Tall, dark, and handsome, and with the best Southern accent I've heard on television. He's also 40 and no mention of ever having been married--is he of the homosexual persuasion?
Celebrity Caterer posted this blind item in his Oscars 2014 thread: [thread]This actor is rumored to be dipping his toes in the coming out pot. Before this I had never heard he might be gay. Yet jokes on the set are being made by him. Plays a womanizer (don't they all?) and crazy gay buzz suddenly abounds. The answer was superhot James Wolk, star of The Crazy Ones, Mad Men and Happy Endings. This thread is for gossip, sightings and photo appreciation of one of the hottest potentially gay men alive.
I saw her on Wendy a few weeks back. It looked like she gained some weight. She was wearing a miniskirt that barely covered her ass, and her legs had noticeable cellulite on them. I was thinking she could have at least worn pantyhose. But even her face looked full. This woman was extraordinarily hot at one point. A lesbian pin up. Is she pregnant again?

I was recently at the dentist and a few of us waiting were chatting. Someone made a reference to Fred Astaire and the receptionist had never heard of him. I was struck dumb, quite frankly....when I gathered myself together and regained my ability to speak, I asked (eye rolling reflex barely under control) "You've NEVER heard of Fred Astaire?" 'NO...who is he?" She told me she was 25. I came way after Fred Astaire's era but I assumed everyone still knows who he is. Wouldn't you? Apparently not. Anyone here never heard of Fred Astaire?
Keri Russell is in it. It's all 1980s Cold War bullshit. It's a Republican lovefest. Will people just let go of the Reagan era already? For fuck's sake.

Is that a fair statement? Yesterday I got into an argument with someone, and when I left, they took the opportunity to bad mouth me to anyone who would listen. When I got back, he wasn't there so I wasn't able to confront him, so I was in a pissed off mood the rest of the day. If I had ignored this person, I wouldn't have had the argument, he wouldn't have bad mouthed me, and now I wouldn't feel that he got the upper hand. I'd like to blame him for being a dick, but no one held a gun to my head and forced me to get into it with him. So all in all, I put myself in a bad mood for nothing. Thoughts?

PS seems like such a unique, quiet little city...I think I (or even my retired parents) would enjoy living there. Any insight?
By Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times Theater Critic A funny thing happened whenever I set out to see Meryl Streep in “The Iron Lady.” I'd invite one of my moviegoing pals to join me and then find myself later that evening at “Shame,” “My Week With Marilyn” or the glorious “Pina.” The reviews for “The Iron Lady” weren't all that glowing, but Streep came in for her usual chorus of hosannas. For some reason, this wasn't proving to be much of a lure. Even after the Oscar nominations came out, with two-time winner Streep making history with her 17th nomination, “The Iron Lady” was still a no-go with them. Surely this was an aversion to Margaret Thatcher, I thought. But after I investigated their reluctance a bit further, I discovered that several of my well-read, culturally engaged, Pinot Noir-sipping friends are not just indifferent to Streep's greatness — they're actually put off by it. This was shocking news, and they were rightly ashamed to confess it, whispering their secret as though disclosing some white-collar crime they had gotten away with years ago. Should a drama critic be associating with such a crowd? I could feel what I assumed to be my gorge rising. But after reflecting on Streep's recent spate of box-office hits — “The Devil Wears Prada,” “ Mamma Mia!” and “Julie & Julia” — I had to admit that, much as I may have been amused by her outsize portrayals in these films, I found them either too cartoonish or superficial (in that trading on personality way) to leave a lasting impression. Yes, I guess I need to come clean: I too have a Streep problem. Lately, it seems as if her acting comes in two varieties: artful drag burlesques (the Anna Wintourish tyrant Miranda Priestly in “The Devil Wears Prada,” the cluck-clucking Julia Child in “Julie & Julia” and the holy terror nun in “ Doubt”) and relaxed diva charm-fests (aging hippie Donna of “Mamma Mia!” and the spurned Santa Barbara divorcée rediscovering romance in “It's Complicated”). And in both these modes the overriding effect is one of elaborate imposture. She's either impersonating a character quite unlike herself (ah, Streep the magician!) or one who bears a teasing resemblance to her starry middle-aged persona (oh, that lovable grande dame!). Sadly, it seems that even the greatest actors have difficulty not falling into the self-parodying trap memorably summed up by Stephen Sondheim in “I'm Still Here”: “First you're another / sloe-eyed vamp / Then someone's mother / then you're camp.” Her performances are always marvels of technical virtuosity, and her mimicry can indeed be dazzling. One senses her own delight in capturing the likeness of another. Perhaps this is why as she has gotten older she has tended to favor comic masks over tragic ones. But then comedy, which allows her to build a role through selected exaggeration, plays better to her strengths. She can zero in on a defining vocal or physical mannerism and thus flex her muscles as a talking mime. Dramatic characterizations, on the other hand, tend to become lifeless when overly conceptualized. The psychology, if it is to resonate with our own, needs to be embodied rather than anatomized. Of course there's still interpretive emphasis, but an actor's choices should create a coherent inner life. This isn't Streep's strong suit. Drama critic Gordon Rogoff once referred to her as “that scholar of emotions, burrowing in the archives for card-indexed feeling.” Yet the issue isn't really one of authenticity. Streep can be piercing in grief, as her searing Oscar-winning performance in “Sophie's Choice” attests. But her characterizations are so well calculated that they call attention to their own artistry. The dancer is always distinguishable from the dance. It may be hard to recall, now that Streep has become our thespian in chief, that her acting hasn't always been universally acclaimed. One famous detractor, New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael, found Streep's studied perfection bloodless. “[A]fter I've seen her in a movie,” Kael observed in her “Sophie's Choice” review, “I can'

But this year, he has changed his mind saying "I think that’s a complicated conflicting message to send, but at the same time I’ve never been America’s sweetheart. I don’t know where the shock comes from. But in terms of just barebacking, I definitely tell all of my friends to be safe. We definitely don’t bareback in our private life with random people at all. And so it was just for that scenario." He also says about performing for Michael Lucas "Performing for Lucas Entertainment feels like my true debut in gay porn in many ways. I have recorded most of my personal life on camera, so doing porn feels like a natural extension of that exhibitionism.” To see Chris latest BB performance go to link below.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Television's Judge Judy filed a lawsuit Wednesday against a Connecticut personal-injury lawyer, alleging that he used her image without authorization in advertisements that falsely suggested she had endorsed his firm. The lawsuit filed in federal court seeks more than $75,000 in damages from Hartford attorney John Haymond and his firm. Judith Sheindlin, a retired Family Court judge who has starred in "Judge Judy" for 18 years, said this is the first time she has filed a lawsuit against anyone. She said the unauthorized use of her name and image is "outrageous" and requires action. "Mr. Haymond is a lawyer and should know better," Sheindlin said in a written statement. The lawsuit said that without Sheindlin's permission, Haymond's firm aired television advertisements combining footage from "Judge Judy" along with clips showing Haymond and his daughters. It said the advertisements aired in Connecticut and Massachusetts during broadcasts of her show, and continued even after Sheindlin's producer told the firm in March 2013 that use of her image was not permitted. "By trading, without consent or authorization, on Sheindlin's well-known persona, the Haymond Defendants have irreparably harmed and damaged Sheindlin's hard-earned professional and artistic reputation, dignity, and prestige," the lawsuit says. Sheindlin said in her statement that any money she wins through the lawsuit will go toward college scholarships through the "Her Honor Mentoring Program."
Why is it whenever some guy(s) is robbing a house, and a woman is discovered in the home- she gets raped? I can't imagine the stress I'd be under if I was burglarizing a house: rushing around, hoping the cops aren't coming, or there is a vicious dog, or the man of the house might appear with a gun. To get an erection under those cirucmstances would be impossible. But in all the true crime shows I've seen, if there is a female in the house- she will get raped.

Diana Vreeland wrote this column every month in Vogue. It's ripe for satire. Come up with your own. Loads of fun for the whole family...Here are some of her examples: Why Don't You: ... use a gigantic shell instead of a bucket to ice your champagne? … cover a big cork bulletin board in bright pink felt, banded with bamboo, and pin with colored thumb-tacks all your various enthusiasms as your life varies from week to week? … tie an enormous bunch of silver balloons on the foot of your child’s bed on Christmas Eve? … paint a map of the world on all four walls of your boys’ nursery so they won’t grow up with a provincial point of view? … (my fave) tie black tulle bows on your wrists? And here are some of the more extravagant ones, inspiring nonetheless. Why don’t you… … own, as does one extremely smart woman, twelve diamond roses of all sizes? … bring back from Central Europe a huge white baroque porcelain stove to stand in your front hall? … wear violet velvet mittens with everything? … have an elk-hide trunk for the back of your car? Hermès of Paris will make this. (Oprah?) …wear, like the Duchess of Kent, three enormous diamond stars arranged in your hair in front? …have a room done up in every color green? This will take months, years, to collect, but it will be delightful—a melange of plants, green glass, green porcelains, and furniture covered in sad greens, gay greens, clear, faded, and poison greens?
Lena Dunham accepts her curvy body just as it is and refuses to be weight-bullied into adopting unrealistic beauty standards for herself "At the Golden Globes I had a little bit of fat bubbling over, but I love how that looks," Dunham told Glamour March 11. "It looks bountiful. It reminded me of corset dramas." While most celebrities find nude scenes intimidating, Lena said constantly showing off her nude body on her hit HBO series Girls has helped her be more accepting of her looks. "I think I radicalized my relationship to my own body in order to accept it," said Dunham, 27. "To make my body a prop in my work gave it a value I didn't feel it had before." Lena, a self-professed couch potato who hates to work out, has been harshly criticized for not being stick-thin, but has dismissed the cruel fat-shaming, saying it hasn't kept her from living her life. "People called me fat and hideous, and I lived," she said. "And now I keep living." Dunham recently made headlines after slamming the website Jezebel for publishing unretouched photos from her recent Vogue photo shoot. Lena called Jezebel's $10,000 bounty for her unaltered pictures misguided feminism because her photos were barely Photoshopped. "It was the most minimal retouching," she said. "I felt completely respected by Vogue. I felt like, 'Thank you for removing the one line from my face because I'm 27 years old and shouldn't have that there.' I appreciate this." Lena, who's happily dating musician Jack Antonoff (an ex-boyfriend of Scarlett Johansson), said she's happy that Jack is supportive of her success. "I think women are conditioned to stand by their man and watch them make it to the top, but most men never believe the person they get into a relationship with is going to rise any higher than she was when they met," she said. "It takes a very special, evolved person to be able to deal with change within a relationship."

For guys, it can never feel "that good". Guys get the rush when they cum finally. Not fair.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told the New Yorker that he plans to step down some time this year. In a feature story for the magazine's Feb. 17 issue (sub. req.), Holder told Jeffrey Toobin that he will leave his post in 2014, though he also said that he planned to remain as attorney general "well into" the year. As recently as Nov. 19, Holder, the first African-American attorney general in U.S. history, told CBS News that he didn't have "any plans" to step down. Holder, a graduate of Columbia Law School, first joined the U.S. Justice Department in 1976. President Ronald Reagan appointed him to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia in 1988. President Bill Clinton tabbed him as Deputy Attorney General in 1997, the first African-American to hold that position. After the Clinton administration, he practiced at a private firm before joining the presidential campaign of Barack Obama. His tenure as Attorney General has included several landmark cases and decisions on policy, as well as a fair amount of controversy. He has been a vocal critic of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on the Voting Rights Act and Toobin's feature outlines his plan to continue advocating for voting rights in the wake of the decision. He also announced that the Justice Department would stop defending the federal Defense of Marriage Act in court, and the law was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court last June. Congressional Republicans have frequently criticized Holder's policies, and 20 House Republicans filed articles of impeachment in November. He was found in contempt of Congress by the House in June 2012 for failing to release requested documents related to Operation Fast and Furious.
Eight gay couples and the American Civil Liberties Union have sued the state of Florida, arguing it is discriminating against the couples by not recognizing same-sex marriages performed in states where they are legal. The lawsuit is the latest in a groundswell of challenges in the divisive gay marriage debate. Within the last 30 days, suits similar to the one in Florida have been filed in Alabama, Indiana and Arizona, where the lawsuit also challenges the statewide ban on gay marriage there. In Kentucky, a federal judge ordered the state to recognize same-sex marriages performed legally in other states and countries. Sandra Newson, who is a plaintiff in the Florida lawsuit with her wife Denise Hueso, said the couple moved to Massachusetts from Miami so they could get married in 2009. They adopted a son, now 15, who has cerebral palsy and they decided to move back to South Florida, where they had more family to help care for him. When they moved back, they lost legal recognition of their marriage and began encountering a host of difficulties, such as having to prove they are their son's parents during hospital stays and battling auto insurance companies for seemingly mundane things such as the marriage discount. Newson said current Florida law undermines the commitment she and her partner made to each other. "We want the state of Florida to recognize our marriage and our family," she said. ACLU of Florida Executive Director Howard Simon said same-sex couples suffer discrimination in many ways. Examples include problems getting spouses covered by health insurance, difficulties with inheritance rules and retirement benefits, and problems with workers' compensation benefits. "There is no rational reason for the discrimination that Florida inflicts on married couples," Simon said. The lawsuit, filed late Wednesday in federal court in Tallahassee, names Gov. Rick Scott, Attorney General Pam Bondi and other top Florida officials. It asks a judge to declare Florida's refusal to recognize same-sex marriages as an unconstitutional violation of equal protection and due process rights, said ACLU attorney Daniel Tilley. The lawsuit also asks for a ruling requiring the state to recognize the marriages performed elsewhere. Scott, a Republican, issued a statement saying he supports Florida's constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman, but added that he "does not believe that anyone should be discriminated against for any reason." The statement stopped short of endorsing the ACLU lawsuit, however. Seventeen states and the District of Columbia allow gay marriage. A separate lawsuit filed earlier this year in Miami-Dade Circuit Court is challenging the ban on same-sex marriage that Florida voters added to the state constitution in 2008, one of many similar legal challenges around the country. The Florida lawsuit follows a decision by Kentucky's attorney general earlier this month not to appeal a judge's ruling granting recognition to gay couples married in other states. Kentucky will pursue the appeal using outside lawyers. Several federal judges have issued rulings in support of same-sex marriage since the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in June struck down part of the federal anti-gay marriage law. Two of the rulings — striking down same-sex marriage bans in Utah and Oklahoma — are being appealed to a federal appeals court in Denver. Joining the ACLU and the gay couples in the Florida lawsuit is the SAVE organization, which advocates for rights and protections for people of all gender identities.

Ronan Farrow has the kind of resume that’s difficult to match. He graduated from college at the tender age of 15; went on to collect degrees from Yale Law School and Oxford U., the latter on a Rhodes scholarship; and worked at the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs and for the Obama administration. Impressive as all that is, none of those credentials finishes among the top three reasons MSNBC gave him his own show last month. In ascending order, they are: the endless promotional value that comes with his being the progeny of Mia Farrow; his movie-star good looks; and most important of all … he’s awesome on Twitter. That may sound trivial, but to think otherwise is naive. There are plenty of policy wonks out there with resumes that can fill a phone book, but very few of them boast a built-in audience on the strength of their online personality. Farrow somehow manages to be a combination of funny, charming or insightful in every single tweet without the usual mistake Twitter stars make: They just plain overdo it. Which makes it all the more mystifying that MSNBC’s savvy move to bring him to TV has turned out to be such a dud, drawing mostly negative reviews. It’s an interesting test case in the tricky translation to a different platform of a star best known in social media. The logic behind making such a conversion seems as sound as it is simple: Bringing over someone with a powerful direct connection to 238,000 followers gives a TV show a running start in the ratings. But somewhere on the way to TV, Farrow’s appeal got lost. That said, neither he nor the nature of Twitter is principally at fault. Sure, before the man so much as opened his mouth, his face seemed to bear some blame. His eerie resemblance to his alleged is-he-or-isn’t-he father Frank Sinatra is a distraction. Or maybe Farrow is just too damned handsome; those limpid pools he calls eyeballs are so mesmerizing it’s easy to lose track of what he’s saying. But being too telegenic isn’t really the problem here. In his opening weeks on the air, Farrow has seemed tentative and ill at ease, prone to stumbling on his words. More to the point, he just doesn’t resemble the guy who is so dazzling on social media. But concluding that the kind of personality that succeeds on Twitter is just a totally different animal than the type conducive to good TV would be wrong. Because it’s actually MSNBC that needs to fall on its sword for failing Farrow; the network put him in a format that doesn’t capture the essence of his Twitter persona. Cable news basically has two different types of personality-driven shows. The first is where the anchor takes a backseat to the commentator he or she is interviewing. The job is to tee up the topic at hand and ask intelligent questions, but to otherwise get out of the way and let the news be the star. That’s the format MSNBC gave Farrow, and it’s the wrong one. What the network should have done was give him the kind of forum that makes people like Keith Olbermann or Bill O’Reilly famous, in which the questioner and commentator are essentially the same person; those they interview are really just furniture. It’s here where Farrow could have employed the wit and opinion he puts to such good use on Twitter, but is totally muffled in his current vehicle. It’s not too late for MSNBC to make the kind of switch that will allow Farrow to recapture his voice. If the network is simply hoping that with enough air time he won’t come off so green, that would represent a fundamental misunderstanding of what isn’t working. There’s no sense in tapping talent from social media if the TV world can’t recreate the kind of environment that made that talent so compelling in the first place.

If you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber, the price for unlimited free two-day shipping, access to its streaming video library, and its Kindle lending library, will go up to $99 a year. Amazon announced today that customers will see the price of their annual Prime subscription go up from $79, which the program has cost since it was rolled out in 2005. The move was telegraphed earlier this year by Amazon Chief Financial Officer Tom Szkutak, who said in a conference call with analysts following the company’s earnings announcement that Amazon was “considering” increasing the price of a Prime subscription by somehwere between $20 and $40 due to “increased cost of fuel and transportation” as well as high utilization by existing customers. Today’s announcement is on the low end of the range, a 25% price increase. The famously secretive retailer has never revealed how many Prime subscribers it has — one analyst earlier this year said it was 20 million. Amazon’s price increase for Prime comes after a dissappointing holiday season, while the company had sales of $25.59 billion, a 20% jump from the year, it was slightly below what analysts were expecting, while their earnings per share of 51 cents was well below the 66 cents expected by analysts. In early trading, the company’s stock is up almost 3% to $381.58.

I know she was not on the level of, say, Davis, Crawford, Garland, or Taylor, but was she considered major A-list back in the day? I can see her limited appeal as the girl-next-door type, but I just don't see najor star quality. Her performances were at least adequate, but she never seemed to stand out in anything she did, always blending in with the furniture. So what was her deal? And please keep the "It Depends" responses to a minimum LOL.
Get over it, bitch! The sooner you own your bitch-assedness, the sooner life will be easier for you!
It looks like the other thread is closed so I thought I would start up another on. I think this place can be hot sometimes (especially at lunchtime). They have a downstairs area that you can do whatever you want and I have been there and had fun with some super hot dudes. Looking to know if there are any other times when this place (xpressions on 53rd) is crowded - weekends? late night?
My choice would be "Working Out" by Charles Hix and "Looking Good" by the same author. A few Bruce Webers. What are your choices?

I have a 'friend' who has gone on a social media rant over the price of cupcakes at a local cafe in Melbourne, Australia. They charge $6 AUD for each and I would call them a decent size cupcake as they look more like muffins. Anyway, he has gone onto this cafés Facebook page, website, Trip Advisor, Yelp and I'm sure other review sites and blasted them for overcharging. They have defended themselves by claiming costs related to ingredients, staffing, profit etc, but he is claiming that on a world scale of prices they are right at the far end of obscenely overpriced (his words). I beseech you fellow DLers to let me know what is an acceptable price for a cupcake at a sit down cafe where you live. Is my friend correct or is he being a bully?

Isn't this the one complaining last year that Julie made fun of her weight? The half-sister of Julia Roberts has died of an apparent drug overdose, her family announced Monday. Nancy Motes, 37, was the youngest sister of Julia and actor Eric Roberts and had battled with depression and obesity. She was found dead Sunday in Los Angeles, the family says in a statement, issued to People. “It is with deep sadness that the family of Nancy Motes … confirms that she was found dead in Los Angeles yesterday of an apparent drug overdose,” the statement reads. “There is no official report from the Coroner’s office yet. The family is both shocked and devastated.” Last August Motes described her battle with obesity and depression in an interview, saying she always felt like an embarrassment to Julia because of her weight. Motes, who once weighed nearly 300 pounds before her decision to undergo gastric bypass surgery in June 2010, told The Sun last year, “It makes me feel incredibly hurt and very sad.” Nancy, whose other siblings Eric Roberts and Lisa Roberts Gillan are also screen stars, adds: “When you’re in a family of very, very exceptionally beautiful people it’s intimidating. I think that growing up as Pretty Woman’s little sister has definitely made me try to see the person inside and not the person outside. A lot of my life I felt judged for my weight.” Nancy said Julia wasn’t supportive over her battle with obesity: “When I was in high school and she was an adult, she would just let me know that I was ‘definitely overweight.’ “She would make it quite clear to me and in a not so nice manner.” After Nancy finished school, she ” followed her sister to Hollywood in 1995 with dreams of becoming a star herself.” But she claims she did not find Julia, who has a different father, supportive. She says: “Julia did not want to see me go down that path, mostly because I was overweight. “My weight has fluctuated my entire life. So I just got a lot of criticism from Julia, which was very discouraging for me. “I did a lot of auditioning, a lot of waitressing, then really could not afford the cost of living, so I went back to Georgia and focused on doing more things in theatre.” But she recalls, “My arthritis was flaring up to the point where I couldn’t get the rings on my knuckles, I was gaining weight like crazy. I was in an enormous amount of physical pain and just miserable, which led into the talk of the bariatric surgery.” Nancy had been living with John Dilbeck and the couple planned to marry in May. Nancy added she was not sure if Julia would be at her wedding, explaining, “It’s a work in progress, it’s not going to be fixed overnight. Nor do I think it’s going to be fixed by me just getting skinny. “My family love each other fiercely, we’re really not different from any other family. I love Julia absolutely and I have no doubt she loves me.” She says: “I want to be known as more than Julia Roberts’ fat little sister.”
At the IFC Center as part of its Francofest. 56% fresh on RT, but did get a good review in the Times. Here's the blurb from the IFC website about its series: An astonishingly prolific polymath, James Franco has already produced an impressive body of work as an actor, writer, producer and director that would make an artist twice his age jealous. His choices have never feared complexity or controversy, and each new project bristles with the thrill of discovery. We’re thrilled to present this not-even-mid-career survey includes some of Franco’s most notable performances—SPRING BREAKERS, 127 HOURS and more—and a sampling of the features he has directed, among them AS I LAY DYING, BROKEN TOWER, SAL and others. James Franco (born 1978) is an actor, director, screenwriter, producer, teacher and author. He began his career on the acclaimed show Freaks and Geeks and received a Golden Globe Award for his performance in the biographical film James Dean. Notable film credits include OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, SPRING BREAKERS, “Harry Osborn” in the SPIDER-MAN trilogy, MILK and 127 HOURS for which he received Academy Award, SAG and Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor. He has directed, written and produced several feature films and numerous short works, and has published novels, poetry, short stories and magazine articles. He is currently teaching college courses at UCLA, USC and Cal Arts and acting classes at Studio 4. He will appear on Broadway this spring in a revival of Of Mice and Men.

Even though I thought I would. I overheard (full disclosure: I was eavesdropping) a conversation between the President, VP, and Controller, discussing the legal obligations and an employment lawyer to consult yesterday. I am on vacation next week, and assumed they would drop the bomb today. I guess it takes a few days to assemble the paperwork. I do have (legitimate) access to the company's finances, so I think it is mostly a financial issue. We are heavily in debt with angry vendors sending us to collections all the time. But it sucks because the Prez and VP are both gay men too - I know it's silly, but I kind of feel a bit betrayed, especially by the VP, who I actually like a lot. Yes, I know your employer isn't your friend and you can't count on them. But it still hurts. It felt like the longest day of my life - waiting for the 'can we talk to you?'. I am not sure whether to be grateful for the delay or not. FYI: I have suspected this for a while, and been actively looking for the last six months. I was the one who started the "internal reference" thread, linked below, as I kind of saw this coming.

Kitty Genovese was a 20-something bartender living in Queens when Winston Moseley stabbed her to death on March 13, 1964 while neighbors listen to her screams and did nothing. You’ve probably heard the story told as a depressing tale of public apathy. How could 38 people watch their neighbor die and do nothing? Well, for starters, that’s not actually what happened — there were only five or six apathetic witnesses. And that’s not the only part of the story that’s been mis-reported. Kitty was a lesbian, living with her girlfriend at the time. A new book on her death explores what that relationship meant to the public at the time. (According to the police chief, “it’s also our experience that homosexual romances produce more jealousy by far than ‘straight’ romances.”) Her girlfriend Mary Ann Zielonko later recounted, “After Kitty died I went from thing to thing … I’d lost my faith in people – in everything, really.” The public attitude toward lesbians in the mid-’60s wasn’t exactly friendly, so it’s tempting to wonder if that played a role in the neighbors’ refusal to call police. Maybe they were suspicious of the two women sharing an apartment together, and didn’t want to get involved in what might’ve looked like a romantic spat. It wasn’t a romantic spat, of course. Genovese was randomly targeted by Winston Moseley, who simply liked to kill. After his capture he confessed to two other murders. Another new book delves into the details of his life: he was man with a family and stable job, who had a “double life” in which he’d go out to prowl, commit burglaries, mug and kill. He felt no remorse. “I still have a lot of anger toward people because they could have saved her life,” Zielonko told NPR recently. Five decades on, the wounds of the incident still feel fresh.

What about straight people, are they perceived as "biphobic" as us gays? As for bisexual people, are they as "enlightened" and "open-minded" as they all claim to be? I'd really like to know from the source, just out of curiosity (this is for the imbecilic trolls who will start saying "oooh, you started this to bash bisexuals and get attention!"). Thus, let's try to keep things both rational and civilized, please.
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.

Or do they find jobs outside of the sex industry?

I have a friend that rarely ever calls me or texts me. I always end up calling/texting him. I am always the one to initiate spending time together. I don''t get it. \ \ When we hang out we always have fun. He has never blown me off. He never flakes on me or gets nasty with me. So why doesn''t he ever pick up the phone and call me first? Why does he always leave it up to me to initiate the hang outs? I don''t like feeling like I''m chasing someone down all the time. It makes me feel like I''m desperate or something. \ \ One time I stopped calling him just to see if he would call me back, thinking he would think something was wrong and call me. After a full MONTH with no call from him I finally broke down and called him. He never even asked acted like the month without speaking was anything. All he said was "Wow, it''s been a while!"\ \ I swear, I feel like the older I get the less I know how to deal with other people and their issues...

Thanks to widespread public ridicule, Hollywood producers & directors finally got the message and stop repeating such rom-com clichés as montages of retail therapy for the heroine, or scenes where she lipsyncs while holding a hairbrush/spatula/wire whisk as a microphone. But there are some things they still keep repeating in films I never want to see again--such as: *in ghost movies: ghosts with stringy black hair crawling along the shadowy floor, walls, or ceiling *in action films: Mexican standoffs *in biopics of famous singers: the singer's success is shown by a montage of his or her placements on the Billboard charts intercut with scenes of him or her singing in different venues What else?

Does anyone remember this? They were very handsomely mounted (for the time) productions of fairy tales done for Showtime in the style of classic illustrators with all-star casts: The Frog Prince with Teri Garr and Robin Williams, done in the style of Maxfield Parrish; The Princess and the Pea, with Liza Minnelli and Tom Conti, done in the style of Aubrey Beardsley; etc. They were often very funny and beautifully done. They're usually narrated by Shelley Duvall, the creative spark behind the whole thing, which is too bad because you can already tell her hold on reality is slightly tenuous (and she doesn't have a good voice).

I've noticed a regular (every 3 minutes 23 seconds) 10-second sound of running water in the ceiling above my bathroom. I live on the top floor. Might the landlord have installed some kind of pump?

1) If you have the aisle seat, do not fall asleep with your tray table down. You have the aisle seat. Fine. Good for you. You win. But you have also accepted the implicit responsibility of getting up quickly and with good cheer whenever one of your seatmates on the inside wants to get up for any reason. And you know what is not conducive to sending an unspoken message to your seatmates on the inside that you prepared to get up quickly and with good cheer at any moment? Falling asleep with your tray table down. Falling asleep with your tray table down sends the message: "I have constructed both a physical and emotional barrier to egress by you, my inside seatmates. In order to exercise your god-given right to get up, you are now put in the position of having to violate norms of both manners and physics. I care little for the needs or comfort of others." Unacceptable. 2) Do not talk to me for long. Say hi, chit chat a bit, okay. Now let's stop talking. 3) Do not recline your seat. Do not recline your seat. Ever. Congress should pass a law that all economy class airplane seats must be welded into a permanently upright position. There are no exceptions.

Furnished by a crazy person who works for Calvin Klein Home… At Mellen's house, that mix is constantly changing in small and subtle ways. "I'm always making little vignettes out of things I find," she says. "Last weekend, I found a dead beetle and set it on top of a rock. I'll have that next to a bird's nest that blew out of a tree, and a feather that I found in the yard."
In an intensive care unit in Memphis, a virus ravages the body of a 7-year-old who’s in heart and kidney failure. He vomits blood several times an hour as his family gathers in vigil. In a cabinet in Durham, North Carolina, there’s a drug that could likely help Josh Hardy, but the drug company won’t give it to him. They’re adamant that spending the time to help Josh and others like him will slow down their efforts to get this drug on the market. Helping Josh, they say, means hurting others. When asked how he will feel if Josh dies — and he’s in critical condition, so sadly that could happen soon — the president of the company that makes the drug doesn’t hesitate to answer. “Horrible,” said Kenneth Moch. He would feel horrible and heartbroken. But still, he said there’s no way he’s going to change his mind. There’s no way he’s going to give Josh this drug. ‘We’re begging them’ It’s called “compassionate use,” but sometimes it feels anything but compassionate. Here’s the way it works: According to the Food and Drug Administration, if someone has a serious or immediately life-threatening disease and has tried and failed other available treatments, they can ask a drug company for an experimental drug, one that they’re still studying and has not yet been approved by the FDA. Companies often say yes: The FDA approved 974 compassionate use arrangements in fiscal year 2013. But pharmaceutical companies often say no, as they did to Josh Hardy. “Our son will die without this drug,” said Todd Hardy, Josh’s father. “We’re begging them to give it to us.” So now, like many families, the Hardys have turned to the media, Facebook, and change.org to pressure the drug company to change its mind. Countless members of “Josh’s army” have responded with angry tweets to @chimerix, telling them to “open their hearts,” asking the executives how they can sleep at night. “Everyone is watching,” one tweeter warned the company. Others have tweeted out the e-mail addresses of the company’s board members. Chimerix executives say they’ve received physical threats. Moch, the company president, has read these tweets and said he is heartbroken, but the issue is complex and unsuitable for a 144-long character debate. At its very simplest, this is it: Chimerix is going full speed ahead to get the drug on the market hopefully by the end of 2016, and if they spend time and money on compassionate use cases, it would greatly hinder their effort to get the drug, brincidofovir, on the market and available to everyone. The company would have to dish out $50,000 per compassionate-use patient, since insurance doesn’t usually pay for experimental drugs, Moch said. And perhaps even more important than the money, it would divert manpower in this 50-person company, since they’d have to handle the requests and then get the patient’s records and follow up with them, as required by the FDA. “If this were just one patient wanting this drug, then this would be a very different question,” he said. “But it’s yes to all or no to all.” From 2009 to 2012, the company did give out the drug under compassionate use to 451 patients, Moch said, but at least at that time, the information gleaned from those 451 compassionate use patients was helpful to the Chimerix study and helped move the science along. But currently doctors don’t really learn very much, if anything, from compassionate use patients, so the patients don’t help get the drug to market. Beat cancer four times Josh’s journey began when he was diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer at 9 months old. Over the years, cancer turned up in his thymus, lung, and bone marrow, and each time Josh beat it. But a bone marrow transplant left Josh without much of an immune system, and in February doctors diagnosed him with an adenovirus that spread through his body. They gave him an antiviral drug, an intravenous form of brincidofovir, but it ravaged his kidneys.
Ezra Klein’s new Web media venture, Vox.com, has just hired a controversial gay-bashing “gay” named Brandon Ambrosino to write for the new online publication. (Vox on Facebook, Vox on Twitter.) Ambrosino, a recent graduate of religious-right mothership Liberty University, is a professional dancer in Baltimore. In the past year, Ambrosino has branched out from tap-dancing to penning poorly-written pieces critical of gays, gay rights, and gay rights activists. To give you a sense of Brandon Ambrosino’s approach on gay issues, he’s a fan of his alma mater’s founder Jerry Falwell, who once claimed “God hates homosexuality” and later blamed gays and feminists for 9/11. Ambrosino has defended Falwell’s record on gay rights, claiming that the Moral Majority founder was simply misunderstood. The real Brandon Ambrosino One of Brandon Ambrosino’s recent articles has him claiming to have “chosen” his sexual orientation. Ambrosino, rehashing a topic that’s long-since been talked to death, apparently thinks gay people (and one assumes straights as well) choose in advance which gender they’re going to find sexually appealing that day. (The gay-hating religious right agrees with him.) Ambrosino also believes that being transgender is a “choice.” In fact, he calls being trans a “sexual choice,” which even the most casual observer of transgender issues knows it most certainly is not. Ambrosino also believes that being gay is about “sexual behavior.” One of the reasons I think our activism is so insistent on sexual rigidity is because, in our push to make gay rights the new black rights, we’ve conflated the two issues. The result is that we’ve decided that skin color is the same thing as sexual behavior. I don’t think this is true. When we conflate race and sexuality, we overlook how fluid we are learning our sexualities truly are. To say it rather crassly: I’ve convinced a few men to try out my sexuality, but I’ve never managed to get them to try on my skin color. In other words, one’s sexuality isn’t as biologically determined as race. We’re comparing race to sexual behavior? Jerry Falwell couldn’t have said it better himself. As I’ve written before, if you want to get technical – another word for “accurate” – being gay is about sexual attraction, not sexual behavior. A gay priest, who has devoted his life to celibacy, is still gay. Though, ironically, in another piece Ambrosino claims that even if anti-gay GOP Cong. Aaron Schock were to be found in a shower having sex with another man, that wouldn’t make Schock or his shower-buddy gay. So being gay is about sexual behavior, until it doesn’t fit Brandon Ambrosino’s gay-rights-advocate-bashing narrative of the day. Ambrosino also thinks gay activists are mean. He thinks we should be more like Martin Luther King, who “found a way to condemn evil without condemning the evildoer.” Except of course that Ambrosino’s fact-free assertion about MLK inconveniently flew in the face of, you know, actual history. Here’s MLK condemning evildoers: “It may well be that we will have to repent in this generation. Not merely for the vitriolic words and the violent actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence and indifference of the good people who sit around and say, “Wait on time.” And in another poorly-thought-out piece, Ambrosino suggested that it’s not “anti-gay” to find gay marriage immoral: As a gay man, I found myself disappointed with this definition—that anyone with any sort of moral reservations about gay marriage is by definition anti-gay. If Raushenbush is right, then that means my parents are anti-gay, many of my religious friends (of all faiths) are anti-gay, the Pope is anti-gay, and—yes, we’ll go here—first-century, Jewish theologian Jesus is anti-gay. Putting aside for a moment the fact that Jesus never said a word about gay people, let alone gay marriage (much of Ambrosino’s work suffers from the absence of editors), that sing-songy simple style, and the bizarrely unquestioned assumptions (that no one thinks the Pope is anti-gay?), are Ambrosino’s hallmark. He writes and thinks like a first-year college student – that is to say, not very well. And I don’t say this to be snarky. I say it because it belies a much larger problem with the media of late. It’s a problem I call journalistic homophobia. Journalistic homophobia When a congressman hires a young secretary who can’t type, isn’t particularly good at his job, and pays him a lot of money for a position that usually takes a heck of a lot of experience to get, reasonable people ask “why.” The same goes when big-name publications hire a young guy with little publishing experience, and who isn’t particularly adept at writing or thinking. There has to be another reason he got the job. Call it the Jeff Gannon rule: If he’s obviously not qualified, he got hired for another reason. In Ambrosino’s case, he gets hired to bash gays. Ambrosino is riding a recent wave of journalistic gay-bashing that’s become especially trendy as gays get closer to achieving full and equal status in American society and law. It’s a trick formerly used by Fox News and the religious right, but now popular with Time, the Atlantic, the New Republic, and Vox. It’s the “no hetero, no foul” rule of intolerance. So long as the bigot is gay, it’s okay. It’s the same tactic Republicans have used for years. They embrace the most politically extreme African-Americans, Latinos, and to a lesser extent women and gays, in order to claim the mantle of “diversity,” while doing all they can to undermine it. Brandon Ambrosino is the Allen West of homosexuality. He’s your go-to guy, if your goal has nothing to do with finding a legitimate minority voice on the issues of the day. Vox is “hiring journalists who really know the topics they cover” I get that we all needs eyeballs. It’s been a difficult media market since the economy crashed, and online advertising has never fully come back for many of us. Add to that ever-increasing competition from social media, and we all feel pressure to get readers. If we don’t get readers, we don’t get ad revenue, and we don’t survive. But there’s a limit to how far we should sell our souls in order to guarantee our survival. Ezra Klein recently promised the world that Vox would be “hiring journalists who really know the topics they cover.” Well, this guy ain’t it. While I think Brandon Ambrosino is sloppy, unimaginative, a bad writer, and a not-very-complicated thinker, my biggest concern is that he comes across, to me, as having an agenda that borders on animus. IMHO, he’s got issues with being gay, knows how to push people’s buttons, and seems to revel in it – with little regard for the damage he does in the process. By hiring Ambrosino, and lifting his rising star even further, Vox is doing exactly what we routinely criticize the mainstream media for: Leaping before they look, elevating mediocrity, and doing real harm to truth in the process. In the same way the media loved to put gays on TV against “ex-gays,” now they’re putting gay rights advocates on versus Brandon Ambrosino – a gay vs. “gay” catfight, what could be more fun than that? (Actually, the video I link to answers that question – what’s “more fun” is Ambrosino defending a homophobic Catholic bigot against Ireland’s most revered gay rights leader.) Brandon Ambrosino strikes me as a Hipster Homophobe. And I expected better from Vox, a media entity that promised it would be different.

We met at 16 and stayed together for 6 years before I broke things off. Its thirty five years later and I still think of him most every day. I know this is more to do with me than with him,but he is like a hole in my heart. Yes this thread was inspired by the "I''ve got a stalker thread". I''ve always kept track of him,easy to do because he is prominent in his field,but I''ve never called although I would love to hear his voice even on a machine. We are both partnered and I don''t want to hurt anyone unnecessarily. Is there anything I can do to get rid of this obsession?

Why he could be gay/bi: 1. He hangs with the "gay posse" Colton Haynes, Matthew Morrison, JC Chasez, Chace Crawford, Penn Badgely, etc. 2. He LOVES Les Mis 3. There've been rumors about him and Penn Badgely, him and Colton Haynes, etc. 4. Not linked with any girls recently. Why he could be straight: 1. He might hang with the "gay posse" simply because they all have the same manager? 2. There's just not much evidence on his Twitter that he's into guys or into gay interested, as opposed to Jonathan Bennett, who follows EVERY hot guy on Twitter. 3. He had a fucking BEARD recently (the hairy kind, not the female kind). I don't know any gay guys that grow facial hair! How come Shawn Pyfrom hasn't been acting lately? What has he been up to?

CHAPEL HILL — A UNC-Chapel Hill freshman who told police he was attacked by a man who burned his hand and called him an anti-gay slur made a false report, the university says. In a message just released to the campus community, Chancellor Holden Thorp says: "The Department of Public Safety has determined that the alleged aggravated assault reported to campus last night did not occur. That report, filed with campus police on April 5, was false. The University will not report it as a hate crime." "It is important to recognize that incidents of harassment do occur," Thorp continued. "When they do, we take them seriously. We strive to foster a welcoming, inclusive and safe environment at Carolina. Freshman Quinn Matney told police he was outside his South Campus dorm April 4 when he stopped to speak with an acquaintance. As he stood on a foot bridge near his Craige Residence Hall, he had said another college-age man nearby approached him, called him an anti-gay slur, and pressed a hot piece of metal to his left wrist. The university planned to report the incident as a hate crime to the federal government. The assault was apparently motivated by Matney’s sexual orientation, Thorp said in a statement Monday. “As a university community, we condemn this act of violence,” Thorp wrote. “Our Department of Public Safety will bring the strongest possible charges against the attacker.” But police had little to work with. Matney could not identify his attacker or the person he stopped to speak with just before the attack, said Jeff McCracken, UNC’s police chief. Efforts to reach Matney today were unsuccessful. THE ORIGINAL STORY IS BELOW Authorities at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are investigating an assault on campus last week as a hate crime. "As a university community, we condemn this act of violence," said UNC-CH Chancellor Holden Thorp in a statement on Alert Carolina, the campus website that disseminates safety-related information to students, faculty and staff. "Our Department of Public Safety will bring the strongest possible charges against the attacker." The attack, which was reported to police April 5, occurred on the foot bridge between Craige Residence Hall and the intersection of Ridge Road and Manning Drive. Police said the student was treated for burns at the student health center. The student, freshman Quinn Matney, told police a person he recognized but did not know pressed a hot piece of metal to his left wrist, scalding it and doing tendon damage. The burn left an imprint that looks something like a figure 8. Police have no suspects yet, Chief Jeff McCracken said Tuesday. Matney said he stopped to speak to another acquaintance just prior to the attack, but didn't know that person by name, either, McCracken said. Thorp said in the statement that the aggravated assault "appears to have been motivated by the sexual orientation of a male student." Thorp said the university intends to report the assault as a hate crime to the federal government. "Everyone in our community has the right to a safe, inclusive and welcome living and learning environment," Thorp said. "And all of us have a responsibility to stand against acts of violence, harassment, bullying and intimidation and to treat each other with civility and respect." Outside of a bare-bones incident report on hand at the police station, the attack was not made public by the university until Monday, a week later. That lag time has bothered some members of the gay community at UNC-CH. "It's troubling when the only way we find out about a hate crime on campus is by word of mouth," said Jeff DeLuca, a sophomore and co-president of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Straight Alliance.

In a blog post at AmericanThinker.com, anti-LGBT activist — and purported “ex-gay” convert to heterosexuality — Robert Oscar Lopez wrote Wednesday that gay men plan to use surrogate mothers to bear their children as “breeding slaves.” Gay blogger Joe.My.God. reported that in a post called “Breeders: How Gay Men Destroyed the Left,” Lopez envisioned a dystopian future where women are nothing more than prisoners to an elite overclass of gay men. “Gay men are men,” he wrote, and such, they eschew the company of women. “Gestational surrogacy is a dream come true for woman-hating chauvinists who are bound to congregate under such an umbrella,” he said. “Men enjoy all the ‘phallic’ privilege that the bourgeois patriarchy can provide” under this system, he said, “and women are put in their place. Not even in the kitchen, no – in a barracks somewhere, patrolled by goons who will snatch away their babies whenever the men demand it.” Media Matters reported that Lopez — an associate professor of English at California State University at Northridge — has authored several shrill, anti-LGBT screeds, in which he calls same-sex relationships “a crime against humanity” and the push for LGBT equality the march of “full-body totalitarianism.” In 2012, Lopez wrote of his decision to give up the “gay lifestyle.” “Twenty years ago, I had never been with a woman, but I had had relations with quite a few men…Now I am twelve years into a happy and faithful marriage to a woman,” he said. “I begged God for forgiveness,” he said. “You couldn’t pay me to have sex with a man at this point in my life.” So-called “reparative therapy” has been disavowed at virtually every level of the psychiatric profession. Sexual orientation is now widely accepted by medical, clinical and psychiatric professionals to be a largely immutable, in-born trait. The practice of trying to alter a person’s sexual orientation through prayer, counseling and behavior modification has been shown to be not just ineffective, but actively harmful to patients. The practice of reparative therapy on minor children has been outlawed in California and New Jersey as a form of child abuse. Exodus International — the leading network of clinics claiming to treat homosexuality with reparative therapy — closed its doors in 2013 and its CEO, who now lives openly as a gay man, published a letter of apology to all the LGBT people the organization had harmed in its years of operation.

Has anyone seen the commercials for this new reality series? I was surprised that it's a reality series when I Googled it because the commercial's production values look like it's for a standard half hour sitcom. It's supposed to be about a self-made millionaire, his wife and five kids. But, is this man not screamingly gay? And the son who comes to the door in the commercial pings to high heaven.
Dear god, she was bigger than ever. That poor thing is going to die young.
In case you missed it…….. Late last year the Department of Justice demanded records from an outside “super PAC” as it investigates an improperly coordinated strategy with Bachmann’s campaign staff, including her husband, in violation of election laws. The DOJ is looking into the super PAC’s finances and its communications with Bachmann; her “husband” Marcus Bachmann, and former staff members, according to a grand jury subpoena reviewed by The New York Times. The investigation stems from a complaint a former campaign staff member made to the Federal Election Commission and to the F.B.I. The staff member told of overhearing the president of the super PAC asking a Bachmann senior adviser about buying advertising on radio and TV stations in Des Moines ahead of the Iowa caucus on Jan. 3, 2012 and investigations are centered on secret payments that her campaign made to state Sen. Kent Sorenson in exchange for his support and help in the 2012 Iowa caucuses. The House Ethics Committee is investigating Bachmann’s potential misuse of staff and campaign finances to promote her poorly selling biography Core of Conviction. The DOJ investigation stems from information obtained from the FBI that appears to show the Bachmann’s violating at least 11 election laws. While Bachmann may have technically retired from Congress, in reality she quit because the criminal investigations were closing in on her. The case against her is still being investigated.

A 13-year-old dachshund left outside an animal shelter with a note asking that he be put to sleep because his elderly owners could no longer afford to care for him was expected to be reunited with the couple soon. The dog, named “Harley” by rescuers, was found tied to a basket outside the Baldwin Park Animal Shelter on March 6, according to Toby Wisneski, CEO and founder of Leave No Paws Behind. Attached to Harley was a note explaining that he had gotten sick, was vomiting and had bloody stools. “We are both seniors, sick with no money. We cannot pay for vet bills, or to put him to sleep. He has never been away from us in all those years, he cannot function without us, please put him to sleep,” stated the note, which ended without identifying the owners. Wisneski received a call from the shelter and took the dog in knowing if she didn’t he would be put to sleep. After receiving medical care at the East Valley Veterinary Clinic, doctor’s told Wisneski that Harley was going to be OK and had a couple of years left in him. Determined to reunite Harley with his owners, Wisneski tracked down the couple and found out Harley’s real name is Otto Wolfgang Maximus. “We just are living week to week,” one of the owners, who wished to remain anonymous, said in a phone interview. “We can’t even go to the hospital to get our treatment.” The couple was informed that Leave No Paws Behind — described on their Facebook page as a nonprofit, foster-based rescue — would cover Otto’s healthcare and food costs for the rest of his life. “We thought he was dead, but he lives,” said the owner on the phone. “He’s being well taken care of and, boy, we’re just so extremely grateful.” The couple was expected to be reunited with Otto when they return to the area on March 28.

Hilarity ensues!
They've finally released 1964's [italic]Where Love Has Gone[/italic], a melodrama with the triple threat of Bette Davis, Susan Hayward and Joey Heatherton as three generations of women in a socially prominent San Francisco family. It's an expensive-but-cheap ripoff of the Lana Turner/Cheryl Crane murder case, and while it's not a top-shelf classic, it was well worth waiting for. If you want to see where Helen Lawson came from, it's this role, where Susan Hayward chews the scenery and the drapes as an internationally renowned sculptor AND nymphomaniac, whose daughter Joey stabs her lover to death with a sculptor's chisel. Watching Hayward wield a welding torch wearing goggles and a yellow chiffon scarf is priceless, but not as good as the flashback scenes, where the fortyish Hayward is cast as a twentyish World War II wife (with the same red cast-iron hairdo and smoker's wrinkles). And Joey's prison cell, with an iron bed, sink in the wall, and a completely incongruous enormous mid-60s bedroom table lamp, is genius. Best lines: Someone about Hayward's murdered "bookkeeper" -- "He knew little about double-entry bookkeeping %E2%80%93 but plenty about DOUBLE-ENTRY HOUSEKEEPING." DeForest Kelley as Hayward's pipe-sucking agent: "So the old Valerie Hayden is back. Sculptor. Painter. ALLEYCAT!" Mike Connors: "You're not a woman %E2%80%93 you're a DISEASE!" Has anyone else caught this reissued little gem?

Within a ten mile radius of my house these are six shops that sell homemade chocolates. I just do not understand why these places stay in business. Clearly their main income is making specialty favors for weddings, etc. I cannot believe that there is enough income in that to support a brick and mortar store. Granted, many of these are in old houses, and the owners probably live upstairs, but I would still think that the taxes would make this unprofitable.
Alright try to be honest bitches. If a stranger met you taking into account your normal looks, voice and mannerisms how masculine or feminine do you come across? Curious how most posters see themselves. Gay or primarily gay men only of course
My dad, a former sociology professor, insists that there are more masculine gay men than there are stereotypical gay men. He says, it''s just that the stereotypes are more apparent. I''m not exactly the most masculine of men, so, I feel like he''s telling me I''m an anomaly. %0D\ %0D\ Is he right? And if so, where does he get this from? How does he know this? I have yet to meet a gay man who doesn''t ping, at least, slightly.%0D\ %0D\ Anyone here familiar with sociology? Is this what they teach?

I've always been rather shy and passive, even as a child. I've come to believe those traits elicit bullying behavior in many people. For years, I've let people talk to me like I'm something less than human. Finally, I've had enough and today I snapped. From now on, I'm going to be as nice to other people as they are to me.

While we are still left wondering what Sarah Jessica Parker's real closet looks like, we can at least tell you this -- a ping pong table in a dining room has never, ever looked so chic. As the actress answers all 73 (yes, 73) questions in the Vogue video above without skipping a beat, we get proof that not only is she the old romantic soul we had always believed her to be, but she has the home to match. From the bookcase-lined walls and perfectly accessorized bar cart to the jeweled tone velvet couch and impressive globe collection, the adorable hostess' eclectically layered home is everything we wanted it to be...and then some.

I keep seeing articles about how proud AJ is that Shiloh wants to be a boy, how often this kid is photographed and the fights AJ is having with Brad's mother about her androgyny. It's like she is trumpeting how liberal (and between the lines gay-friendly) she is. Isn't it terribly unseemly for her to pushing a sexual identity onto a child for publicity? Along the same lines, there are a lot of stories about this woman having sexual relationships as a young teen under her mother's roof, fucking her mom's lover, etc. Apologies if this has been discussed. I don't read these sites often.

I love watching shows or movies about the Christian myth of the apocalypse as well as Mayan etc. I don't know if it's because I grew up so non religious that all these stories are like the Bogeyman to me. Sometimes I wonder if anyone got parts of it right. Does anybody here believe that an apocalypse from something other than natural disaster will happen? Is there a certain time you're expecting it? No judgement from me we are all strangers on here.

Yes, that's the actual headline of this story in today's NY Times. Aside from the ones listed in the article, I'm sure our resident bitches can come up with a few on their own. “Amory” was too F. Scott Fitzgerald, “Enzo” too Europhilic. “Selby” was too Brooklyn, “Roman” too Polanski. And those are just the boy names, a few of the dozens my wife, Joanna, and I have considered in our search to find a name for our baby, due next month. What’s in a name? What isn’t, these days? Baby naming has become an industry — with paid consultants, books, Web sites brimming with trend data, and academic studies exploring correlations between baby names and future success. The once-simple task of coming up with a monogram for the baby blanket has evolved into a high-stakes exercise in personal “branding.” And so many prospective parents feel paralyzed, trying to find the elusive name that is exotic yet not bizarre, classic yet not pompous, on trend but not trendy. “All this evaluation is not just overwhelming, it’s contagious,” said Page Rockwell, 34, a freelance project manager in San Francisco. Before she gave birth to a daughter a year ago, friends were constantly weighing in with half-welcome advice: “Charlotte” and “Chloe,” for example, were beautiful, but a bit played out. She shuddered when friends passed around birth announcement e-mails from mutual acquaintances amended with catty comments like “worst name ever.” Ms. Rockwell compiled spreadsheets filled with notations on government trend data (“Olivia,” an early favorite, was spiking ominously, she found), tabloid favorites (“Penelope” was rejected when Kourtney Kardashian claimed it); and cultural nuances (was it good that “Rosamund” evolved from “horse protector” in German?). She and her husband eventually settled on “Imogen,” a name with pleasing literary overtones (Shakespeare’s “Cymbeline”): distinctive, but not weird, they thought. Not long ago, unusual baby names were largely the province of celebrities — who can forget the rolled eyes that greeted “Apple” (Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s daughter) or “Moxie CrimeFighter” (Penn Jillette’s daughter). Now, ordinary mortals are getting into the act. The Social Security Administration’s list of the most popular baby names in the United States for 2012, released last month, showed a continued slide for staples like “John” (now No. 28) and “Mary” (123), which were among the Top 5 for a big chunk of the 20th century; the biggest gainers were “Major” (483 from 988) and “Arya” (413 from 711). “Finding a name that has authentic roots, but is completely undiscovered, is the ultimate baby name status symbol,” said Pamela Redmond Satran, a founder of the site Nameberry and an author of a new e-book called “The Nameberry Guide to Off-the-Grid Baby Names.” Even when parents look to the Bible, they often thumb past “Adam” and “Daniel” in favor of “Joah” or “Obadiah,” she said. In 2002, 77 percent of babies born in the United States had names on the Top 1000, according to government data. By 2011, only 73 percent did. Keep in mind that “Maxton,” “Krish” and “Brecken” already were on the Top 1000. To get more obscure than those, you basically have to draw Scrabble tiles randomly, which is perhaps how parents come up with neologisms like “Cree,” “Izan” and “Emi” (for boys) and “Safi,” “Nanou” and “Esosa” (for girls), all of which cropped up for the first time last year among the 450,000 births to registered users of BabyCenter. “No one wants their kid to be one of 15 Aidens in the kindergarten class,” said Linda Murray, the site’s editor in chief."
This week the Pope declared war on parents naming babies after celebrities, fruit or popular sports cars. In an address to parents, the ever-progressive pontiff pleaded with worshipers to 'give your children names that are in the Christian calendar'. So Apple, Brooklyn and Ferrari are out, Francisco and Giulia are in. But Benedict's not the only authority figure to stamp down on one of the sillier by-products of celebrity culture. The following names have all been banned around the world for reasons of taste, decency or just plain daftness. 1) Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii (New Zealand) New Zealand law bans names which could cause offence to a 'reasonable' person. Good thing too - the country is a stupid name hotspot. We found a couple from the islands who tried and failed to call their son '4Real', but nothing beats the ridiculous moniker above. It belonged to a 9-year-old girl before a judge had her renamed during a custody battle. 'It makes a fool of the child,' he said. It certainly made application forms a pain in the butt. Has New Zealand banned any other names? Oh yes. The judge listed some that were also blocked: Fish and Chips (twins), Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit. Number 16 Bus Shelter and Violence were allowed. 2) Venerdi AKA 'Friday' (Italy) Maybe this is what the Pope was talking about. Back in 2008 a court banned an Italian couple from calling their child Venerdi (translation: Friday). The judges reckoned the name - taken from 'Robinson Crusoe' - would expose the boy to 'mockery' and was associated with 'subservience and insecurity'. The parents, however, might have the last laugh; they threatened to call their next child Mercoledi (Wednesday). Has Italy banned any other names? Italian courts can step in 'when the child's name is likely to limit social interaction and create insecurity'. In Turin, Andrea was rejected (and changed to Emma) as it's a boy's name in Italy. Dalmata has also been rejected, as it means Dalmatian. 3) Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 (Sweden) No, we didn't fall asleep on the keyboard. That is an actual name a Swedish couple tried to inflict on their son back in 1996. Apparently the name is pronounced 'Albin' (we're not sure how), and the parents chose it as a protest against Sweden's admittedly strict naming laws. Tax authorities must give their blessing to both first and surnames before they can be used. Has Sweden banned any other names? Oh yes. Some favourites include Metallica, IKEA, Veranda and Q. Google was OK though. 4) Gesher AKA 'Bridge' (Norway) Back in 1998 those nasty Norwegians threw a woman in jail (admittedly for only two days) when she failed to pay a fine for giving her son an 'unapproved' name. Eccentric Kristi Larsen said she was instructed in a dream to name her son Gesher (Hebrew for 'Bridge'), but the court were having none of it. Kristi did have 13 children already though, so maybe she had just run out of ideas. Has Norway banned any other names? Undoubtedly, though in recent times they have replaced their list of officially sanctioned names with a general ban on monikers featuring swearing, sex and illnesses. 5) Chow Tow AKA 'Smelly Head' (Malaysia) Unlike many countries which are gradually relaxing name laws, Malaysian authorities have cracked down on unsuitable titles in recent years. In 2006 government killjoys published a list of undesirable names that weren't in keeping with the religious traditions of the country %E2%80%93 such as Cantonese moniker Chow Tow %E2%80%93 which means 'Smelly Head'. Has Malaysia banned any other names? Lots more Chinese efforts such as Ah Chwar ('Snake'), Khiow Khoo ('Hunchback'), Sor Chai ('Insane'). Malays should also steer clear of Woti, which means 'Sexual Intercourse'. 6) @ (China) With more than a billion fellow countrymen, finding a unique name in China is difficult. Perhaps that's why one couple called their baby the '@' symbol %E2%80%93 in Chinese characters it apparently looks a bit like 'love him'. Bless. Unsurprisingly, however, the authorities were less sentimental and publicised the moniker as an example of citizens bringing bizarre names into the Chinese language. Has China banned any other names? The police have control over all names given to children because they issue identity cards, but details of rejections are not widely circulated. 7) Miatt (Germany) Country living up to stereotype alert! Surprise, surprise the Germans are somewhat officious when it comes to baby naming laws. Regulation-loving Deutschland has an entire department (the Standesamt) which decides if names are suitable. Miatt was rejected because it didn't clearly show whether the child was a boy or a girl, but sometimes the decisions are somewhat arbitrary... Has Germany banned any other names? The likes of Stompie, Woodstock and Grammophon were turned down, whereas the similarly strange Speedy, Lafayette and Jazz were allowed. Cool Anus (Denmark) What is it about Scandinavian countries and name laws? The Danes are even tougher than the Swedes in this regard, with parents given 7,000-odd names to choose from by the government. Special permission is needed to deviate from the list, with ethnic names, odd spellings and even compound surnames forbidden. Luckily for him (we assume it's a 'he'), Anus was one of 250-odd names rejected each year. Has Denmark banned any other names? Well, Pluto and Monkey had lucky escapes... 9) Ovnis (Portugal) Before naming your child in Portugal, best consult this mammoth, 80-page government doc (and have it translated to English) that tells you which names you can and can't use. It's pretty strict (and random) %E2%80%93 Tom%C3%A1s is OK but Tom isn't %E2%80%93 and celebs can forget about the likes of Apple and Brooklyn, which aren't even on the banned list. Essex girls rejoice, however %E2%80%93 Mercedes is allowed! Has Portugal banned any other names? There are more than 2,000 names on the reject list, including Ovnis - Portuguese for UFO. 10) Akuma AKA Devil (Japan) Here's a name the Pope definitely wouldn't approve of. In 1993 a Japanese parent called his son Akuma (which literally means Devil). The authorities decided this was an abuse of the parent's rights to decide a child's name and a lengthy court battle ensued. Eventually the father backed down and junior got a new, less demonic name.
Has it ever been leaked?
Anyone watching? - Because I have to vent. The kids are wannabe actors, not wannabe chefs. A few are from wealthy parents who are "gifting" their spoiled brats with a TV show. The rest were auditioned for personality and energy. None had to show any cooking skills. NONE of the kids cooked anything. The cameras show them chopping, stirring, plating, etc. What they don't show are the real chefs (I was one) who actually cook the dishes and style the plates. All of the "confessions" are scripted, as are the chats over the food with the judges. It was a pain in the ass because there were so many takes. I know most people know this "reality" crap is BS, but as a real chef, I am insulted and disgusted. I know, "Mary!!" Seeing 9/10/12 year olds getting praised for something I made was much worse when I saw it all edited for TV. I will never work on "reality" TV, or with entitled, bratty little twats and their vulgar parents ever again. On a side note, Gordon is charming beyond belief. If you want a laugh, and want to see 8 -13 year olds turn out 5 star dishes and pastries, and plate them more beautifully than many top restaurants, it's at least enjoyable to make fun of.
WTF??!
Does anyone still watch this mess?
I completely agree. Very touching.

A fat cat with a bad attitude attacked a baby and forced a Portland family to hide in a bedroom before calling 911. Police were called out to deal with the crazed kitty at The Yards at Union Station complex on Northwest Naito Parkway just before 8 p.m. Sunday. The man who called 911 told the dispatcher the cat “went over the edge,” and was charging at them every time they opened the door. “He’s trying to attack us,” he said. “He’s very, very, very, very hostile.” 911 operators confirmed the baby did not need medical attention before sending officers to the scene. “The 911 operator stayed on the phone with the caller to ensure the family, including the dog, remained safe in the bedroom as the cat screeched in the background,” a Portland Police Bureau press release states. The responding officers snagged a dog snare to use in case it was needed to take the alleged cat criminal into custody. The cat, named Lux, weighs 22 pounds. When officers opened the door to the apartment, a black and white Himalayan darted into the kitchen, “attempting to flee custody,” police said. The dog snare came in handy, as it was used to put the cat behind bars in a crate. Officers then told the family it was safe to come out of the bedroom. “The cat remained behind bars in the custody of the family and officers cleared the scene and continued to fight crime elsewhere in the city,” the Portland Police Bureau stated. A motive for the feline’s frantic behavior has not been revealed. “He’s got kind of a history of violence,” the caller told a 911 dispatcher. “He’s kind of a violent cat already. But he’s really bad right now.”

When I was a kid, my jerk older brother told me to jack off with Tiger Balm, and that it was "so awesome". The first stroke was fine, but I thought my dick was going to burn off after the second stroke. I tried to get it off with a towel and it got worse. I jumped into the shower and when the water hit it, it got even more painful. I was screaming and freaking out, so when my mom ran in I was in too much pain to be embarrassed. Some of it got up inside my urethra, because, of course, my brother told me to put a whole bunch on me. I had to lay there in burning pain while my mom inspected my penis. (horrible) Then she thought we should go to the ER where the Dr had flush it out or something. I remember him looking into the hole and using a q-tip and also a little tiny hose thing with water. I had to ice my balls too. Now I don't use anything but fragrance free lube. My dick hurts just thinking about it.
This brings up a great point. It also gives some examples of the actresses that have portrayed the role in a contemporary time period. It'd be cool if they actually got an older actress to do the role, especially if they want it to be scary. Mila Kunis and company just don't have "it" and it isn't only due to acting ability. It also has to do with beauty, not to mention costuming. I loved the Baum books. It would be interesting if someone would take a chance on presenting the character as it's illustrated in the original novel. I never cared for that bitch, Dorothy, FWIW. "Return to Oz" really captured the spirit of the books.

I tried delivering pizzas for a couple of weeks, but after pay/tips combined I only made about $400. But I spent about $200 on gas. I used to be able to make some extra money buying/selling watches back in the 90's and early 2000's, but now everyone posts their possessions on ebay and Craigslist. So what do you do to make some extra cash?

I mean, why is there no NAMGLA? In the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM V), the American Psychiatric Association (APA) refers to pedophilia as a sexual orientation, which has given rise to numerous pedophilia-advocacy groups who often try to link up with gay rights activists. For example, The Campaign for Homosexual Equality called for a time limit on reporting child sex abuse. The association between National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL) and Pedophilia Information Exchange (PIE). PIE somehow managed to convince feminists and the gay rights lobby that they had shared values and that we all belonged in the same club! WTF?

Olive Barrymore Kopelman is going to be a big sister! The Hollywood tot's famous mom, Drew Barrymore, is pregnant again, multiple sources confirm to Us Weekly. The baby-to-be is the second for the actress-producer, 38, and husband Will Kopelman, whose daughter Olive is just 13 months old. Although Barrymore's rep had no immediate comment, there was ample evidence over the weekend: The former child star was among the attendees at the LACMA Art+Film Gala honoring Martin Scorcese and David Hockney on Saturday, Nov. 2, and Barrymore's long, flowing dress seemed to strategically designed to conceal a burgeoning bump. The speedy second pregnancy shouldn't come as a huge surprise: Just last month, she told Jay Leno on The Tonight Show that she "very much" wanted to have another child and get pregnant "right away." Barrymore, who wed art consultant Kopelman in June 2012, explained: "I grew up as an only child, and although that really works for some people and for some parents that's the way they want to do it." The Flower Cosmetics founder's inspiration? The Griswolds of the National Lampoon Vacation flicks. "I want the kids in the back rolling their eyes at mom and dad. I want Rusty and Audrey, theme parks and the whole nine."

The title of the book is going to be "Prince Lestat." The book is going to be coming out on Oct. 28 and it's going to be a true sequel to Rice's book "Queen of the Damned." "Queen of the Damned" was published in 1988. It was a story about Lestat becoming a rock-star, waking up Akasha, the Queen of the vampires, and how the other vampires had to band together to fix Lestat's mistake. "Queen of the Damned," was made into a 2002 film. This announcement is one of the biggest ones for fans of the Vampire Chronicles series, since Rice hasn't written a new one since "Blood Canticle" in 2003.
Karma’s a bitch. Last month, The Bachelor’s Juan Pablo Galavis made headlines when he called gay people “perverted” in an interview with TV Page. (He later claimed he was quoted out of context.) Now, Radar Online is reporting it has a full frontal nudie pic of the 32-year-old reality star. The dirty picture was allegedly sent via text message to Juan Pablo’s new lady love. Because nothing says “I love you” like a photograph of one’s genitalia. “The reality TV contestant is fully nude in the photo with an erect penis,” Radar Online reports, “and it has been verified that it came from a cell phone registered to the woman that the 32-year-old reportedly chooses as his final rose recipient.” It is believed the nameless woman is the one responsible for leaking the photo. Sounds like a match made it Heaven. We’re sure Juan Pablo’s legal team is doing everything possible to prevent the photos from being made public. But we know how these things go. If there’s a photo out there, it’s only a matter of time before it makes its way to the internet. See you soon, Juan Pablo!

The show comes on for two half-hour episodes each night where I live. I love "Lizzie" and the show. There was something timeless about her. She (and her character) had so much personal warmth and if you watch the show her timelessness also appeared in her clothes. Everything she wore on Bewitched 50 years ago could be work today. Simple. Elegant. Class all the way. Last night they had the show on where she one-ups a snobby lady (Spring Byington?) who asks who the "couturier" was who designed her "amusing frock." "Actually I have two couturiers," Samantha said. "You might have heard of them. Their names are Sears & Roebuck." I had no idea Dick York who played Darin was in love with her. She married older men, including Gig Young who shot and killed himself as well as his last wife, and Liz had Daddy issues. She was also one of the first Hollywood actors to come out for gay rights and AIDS activism after the second Darin got sick. The book about her (Twitch Upon a Star) is interesting, but written from a fan's point of view. She, like many who get typecast, didn't care for her role on Bewitched, hardly able to see how many fans she had gained from the 7 or 8 years it was on. But she also owned 20% of the show and made a fortune in residuals before she died at 62 from cancer.

Last night I watched a doco called The Day it Snowed in Miami about the 1970's gay rights battle in Florida and Anita Bryant. About halfway through, the film sort of loses its focus and starts to concentrate on the early years of the AIDS epidemic. This leads to look at the crisis in Miami which then led to a segment about Pedro Zamora. They interviewed family and friends and ended the segment on him in probably the most tasteless way imaginable. It seems as soon as he died, his family gathered around his hospital bed to pose for a picture with his dead body. Now, if they had arranged him lying peacefully, eyes closed like he was asleep, that would be one thing. Instead, he is propped up, his lifeless body leaning over, mouth agape and his eyes open and rolled back. Now, I am not a prude or overly squeamish, but really, WTF? Who would want a picture of their dead loved ones? Who would want to pose for a picture with their dead loved ones? And who the fuck would then share that picture with a film crew so they could show it to strangers? Can anyone say they would be cool with their dead body being photographed and shared with the whole world? Maybe its the way I was raised, in my family we never were into the open casket wake thing because we think its kind of creepy and ghoulish. The whole thing really weirded me out.

Amnesty International estimates Native women are five to seven times more likely than other women to die of violence in Canada. James Anaya, the UN special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous people, who visited Canada last October, called on the federal government to launch a "comprehensive and nationwide" inquiry into the case of missing and murdered aboriginal women The government response is that ALL women need to be protected from violence, not just Native women. And that the laws on the books are enough protection. Yet if over 800 white women were found murdered or missing, would they say the same thing? Or would they act immediately to find out why there is such a high number?

What does it feel like?
Republican Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona announced Wednesday she will not run for reelection. "There does come a time to pass the torch of leadership," she said at a school in Glendale. "After completing this term in office, I will be doing just that." Her announcement comes amid questions about whether she could legally seek another four years in office. As Arizona secretary of state in 2009, Brewer automatically succeeded Janet Napolitano as governor when the Democrat became President Barack Obama's homeland security secretary. Arizona is one of a few states without a lieutenant governor. Brewer sought and won a full term in 2010 and hadn't ruled out trying again. But Arizona law dictates that a governor can't run for more than two consecutive terms, and a partial term is counted as a full term. In other words, Brewer's time in office before she was elected in 2010 would count as a full four-year term. However, Joseph Kanefield, Brewer's former general counsel, argued in a 2012 opinion piece for the Arizona Republic that the governor could still legally run for another term because the state's law was "intended to apply only to an elected or appointed partial term rather than one in which a governor inherits the office by constitutional succession," as in Brewer's case with Napolitano in 2009. Though she's not running for reelection, Brewer vowed to "work until my final hours, completing the people's business." "Both my pen and my veto stamp have plenty of ink," she said. The governor made headlines last month when she vetoed a bill that passed the Republican-controlled state legislature and would have allowed businesses that asserted their religious beliefs the right to deny service to gay and lesbian customers. Perhaps her most famous move in office was the 2010 signing of a law that requires immigrants to carry their alien registration documents at all times and requires police to question people if there is reason to suspect that they're in the United States illegally. Critics fiercely fought the law and the case made its way to the Supreme Court. While the high court in 2012 struck down key parts of the Arizona statute, the justices let stand the controversial provision allowing police to check a person's immigration status wile enforcing other laws. The immigration law helped cement Brewer’s reputation on the national level as a conservative firebrand. The issue also became a point of contention between the Arizona governor and President Barack Obama. At one point in 2012, the two had a now-famous confrontational encounter when Brewer greeted Obama on the tarmac at an airport during his visit to the state. At her announcement Wednesday, Brewer pledged to “remain a proud cheerleader and champion" for Arizona. "Serving as governor has been the privilege and pleasure of my life," she said. "It's been a challenge of the most rewarding kind. Standing before you today is truly bittersweet." A number of Republicans, including Secretary of State Ken Bennett, state Treasurer Doug Ducey, and Mesa Mayor Scott Smith, had already announced bids for the GOP gubernatorial nomination well before Brewer's Wednesday announcement.

US: Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia watch the most gay porn 12th March 2014, 10:03 PM; Nick Duffy Three conservative southern states have surprisingly topped the rankings for gay porn viewership in the US. According to PornHub, Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia come in first, second and third in the rankings, while Alabama and Florida also feature in the top ten. Despite apparently large LGBT communities, none of the top three states offer protection from discrimination for gay people, and all three ban same-sex marriage. However, Alaska, Montana, North Dakota and Idaho consume the lowest amount of gay porn. Mississippi, which accounts for a hefty 5.58% of gay porn consumption in the US, was named the least tolerant state towards gay people last year. Politicians in the state will presumably be shocked to find out just how many gay citizens they have. Last week, an adult gay TV channel in Canada was told off for not showing enough Canadian content.
"I think the thing that is getting a little tiresome, the gay community, they have so bullied the American people, and they've so intimidated politicians. The politicians fear them, so that they think they get to dictate the agenda everywhere."

Yes, there were the notable exceptions like Ken Howard and Hal Linden. Still, it seems like most of the men the girls dated or lusted after were really not attractive at all. Laszlo the artist has to be the ultimate example. All three of them are in hormonal overdrive over him (Dorothy is practically tingling when he first shows up at the house - Bea's portrayal of this is very funny). Yet the man is freakish-looking! Not as extreme, but certainly another example of the casting not justifying the storyline, is Doug from the Mangiacavallo wedding episode. Dorothy and Rose have a big blow-out fight over a man who looks like THAT? (And he's uncharismatic to boot.) Thoughts?

In an editorial titled "Five Secretly Gay Aldermen," which was published online last Thursday, Dispatcher publisher George Lutfallah wrote that the paper "learned that five of the city's 50 aldermen are closeted homosexuals." Lutfallah threatened to disclose their names in next month's newspaper, unless a list of demands was satisfied in the interim. The editorial further claimed that the five aldermen in question lied to their constituents about their "gay lifestyle." As examples of their hypocrisy, Lutfallah joked, "a couple of them watch Duck Dynasty while eating carryout from Chick-fil-A." Equality Illinois issued a statement saying it "strongly condemns" the editorial, as it "suggests there is something shameful about being a lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender public official." "However this article was intended, it is no joking matter," continued CEO Bernard Cherkasov. "We call on the publication to immediately retract its extremely offensive article and apologize to the city’s LGBT community, women drivers and customers, the City Council and the public at large."
A drama student who became an internet sensation after claiming he was savagely beaten up for being gay has admitted he caused his injuries himself when he tripped on the pavement. Richard Kennedy, 18, from Blackpool, told police he was set upon by a gang of homophobes when he left a gay nightclub in Preston, Lancashire, prompting officers to appeal for information about what they called a 'particularly nasty assault'. He posted photographs on Facebook of his battered and bleeding face, dislodged teeth, and gaping knee wound, with the caption 'An example [of] why homophobia is wrong and it's disgusting that it's still around in 2014'. The post was shared by more than 182,000 well-wishers. But today the teenager, who studies Contemporary Theatre and Performance at the University of Central Lancashire, admitted he made it all up. After being shown CCTV of him tripping and falling, face-first, onto the pavement, Kennedy accepted that the 'utterly inhumane homophobic attack' he had talked about actually never happened. This afternoon Lancashire Police, who carried out a 'detailed and thorough investigation' into the alleged attack two weeks ago, confirmed CCTV showed the teenager had not been attacked by anyone, and had simply hurt himself when he fell over. But police said Kennedy will not face any action for wasting police time as they were convinced he actually believed he had been assaulted when he spoke to police. Detective Inspector Paddy O’Neill said: 'We managed to recover some CCTV footage which shows the injured party falling face-first onto the pavement. We have showed him the CCTV and he now accepts his injuries were caused during the fall. 'Having had oversight of the investigation... I accept his report was made in good faith.'

The parents, meanwhile, say that daughter Rachel Canning, 18, moved out voluntarily after refusing to abide by their rules. “We love our child and miss her. This is terrible. It’s killing me and my wife,” Rachel's father, Sean Canning, a town administrator and retired police officer, tells the Daily Record. “We have a child we want home. We’re not Draconian and now we’re getting hauled into court. She’s demanding that we pay her bills but she doesn’t want to live at home, and she’s saying, ‘I don’t want to live under your rules.’” The rules, he notes, include reconsidering her relationship with a boyfriend who may be a bad influence, being respectful, and abiding by her curfew. He and his wife, Elizabeth, who live in suburban Lincoln Park, about 25 miles outside of New York City, have kept their daughter’s car because they paid for it, says Canning, and he admits that they did stop paying Rachel's tuition at the private Morris Catholic High School. A hearing is scheduled to take place on Tuesday in the Morris County Superior Court.

So, I started posting on a straight forum and there are so much homophobic shit that goes on there. There was this one comment I remember posted by many posters that went along the lines of homophobia is unnatural (they also said the anus was never meant for sex) and that gays are gross because they put their penis in each other's anus when they love each other. These comments make me sick; how would you deal with this? These comments are sort of depressing and damaging.

We are safer from violent crime than anytime since the early 70's and late 60's, so why is it that we are not trusting more? The good news is that we are still more trusting than other countries, including many western european ones. Why do you think trust is declining?

...Could you have a relationship with someone who only has time to see you twice a week, and barely calls in the meantime? He's a doctor and is very busy, plus he has half-custody of his two daughters by his marriage (which didn't last long). He says he's really into me, he's very sweet and kind, and we've been seeing each other for six months now. But even those two times a week usually just means he shows up at 9 or 10:00, talk, have sex, and then he basically passes out from exhaustion. He says he'd like to see me more but between his booming practice and his daughters, he just can't. Some weeks I only see him once. I've talked to him about this often, and he says he cannot change his routine. Basically, it's take it or leave it. I'm torn because I am so fond of him but it just isn't enough for me. Am I being unrealistic? Should I be happy with what I have? Or I should I break it off and hope to find someone who has more time? Caveat: I'm 55 and he's 50, so it's not like there's a long line of men waiting for me at the door. I might not find someone else I like as much.

Has anyone else noticed this recent wave of porn stars and hustlers in the neighborhood? I'm not really complaining, mind you. They eye candy is quite nice, but I guess it confirms Hell's Kitchen as a hot destination neighborhood. I see Rafael Alencar at least once a week. This evening I passed him on 9th at 44th Street. He was strutting down the street rubbing hard cock through his pants, and I think the guy next to him was a date. I see him at least once a week. There's a hustler living in my apartment building. I looked him up on rentboy.com & watched him usher a couple of guys in their 60s (one in a raincoat, I swear to God) into his apartment. He's hot and has a hot body, and a huge cock. He's got some work to do in the personality department, though. His shitty aloof behavior, bad attitude and perpetual snarly look make wonder if he ever has any repeats. Of course neighborhood favorite Matt Sanchez(retired or not, who really cares?) has been living in HK the past few years, but seems to have moved on. I was constantly running into him and he was always scowling at me. Spike, the cute short porn star whose hair is sometimes bleached must also live close. I see him often. Any other sightings?

A new study by the Centre for Addictions Research of B.C. at the University of Victoria has found that the “managed alcohol program” approach reduced emergency hospital visits and arrests among participants at Shelter House, in Thunder Bay, Ont. The centre’s Tim Stockwell, who presented the study to Thunder Bay city council this week, said the results are encouraging. “It’s very controversial and that’s why we wanted to take a good, hard look at the data,” he said in an interview. “We’ve had harm reduction programs for illicit drug users. Well, in fact, this population can be regarded also as illicit drug users because they’re using a lot of non-beverage alcohol. Especially in winter time, there are strong compassionate grounds for not denying people shelter because they can’t do without their alcohol, which has led to some tragic deaths in the past.” Every 90 minutes, from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., the Shelter House provides alcohol – typically six ounces of white wine – to residents who might otherwise consume hazardous “non-beverage” alcohol such as mouthwash, aftershave or even hand sanitizer. All residents were previously homeless. The study compared 18 people in the managed alcohol program with 20 people who were not. The number of police interactions and hospital admissions dropped between 40 and 80 per cent for the 18 participants, who also had stable housing, improved nutrition and renewed contact with families. Both residents and shelter staff reported improvements in mental and physical health and life skills. Program drinks are spaced out through the day rather than consumed all at once – a much safer consumption pattern, the study said. “It was also evident that the type of alcohol being consumed was intrinsically less hazardous; i.e. the wine provided on the program as opposed to a variety of forms of non-beverage and higher-strength alcohol,” it said. Despite the small number of study subjects, the study suggested the health and safety benefits translate to economic savings. Research shows about 38 per cent of homeless men are alcoholics. There is little or no information on the rate among homeless women. The first managed alcohol program was put in place by Toronto’s Seaton House after three men froze to death on the streets during the winter of 1995. A larger study is pending on managed alcohol programs in Thunder Bay, Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Hamilton, Ont. The study said there are also at least two informal programs in towns in the B.C. Interior. In Vancouver, where the city, health officials and the province are at odds with the federal government over safe injection sites for heroin, the non-profit Portland Hotel Society has forged ahead with harm reduction for the smaller but equally troubled population of severe alcoholics on the streets of the Downtown Eastside. “For us, it’s kind of a pragmatic approach to people we deal with every day,” said Mark Townsend, executive director. “We’d rather they didn’t do this, but they’re doing it so we’re trying to make it a little bit safer for them.” In addition to the managed alcohol program, the society runs a “drinkers lounge” group for severe alcoholics that meets once a week. Among the programs offered to the group is a brew club, which allows them to join in brewing a batch of beer or wine for $10 a batch. Two litres of each is donated to an alcohol exchange, where members can swap toxic, non-beverage alcohol for beer or wine. “This is an extreme thing. If someone’s drinking aftershave, it’s pretty serious and they’ve done it for a very long time,” Mr. Townsend said. “All we’re really trying to do is improve their behaviour in the community and make it possible to house them. For us, it’s succeeded.”

Yes, we know she looks like shit now, but she's full of it too. Apparently she was on The Talk recently and discussed her reconciliation with John Ritter: "We did (reconcile). I was in a beauty salon and I hadn't talked to him in a long time. I really felt so badly because I love John Ritter and it was over a contract dispute that never should have infiltrated John and I... "In the beauty salon, the receptionist comes over and says, 'You have a phone call... It's John Ritter.' I go over and pick up the phone and he says, 'Listen, I forgive you.' I had a little trouble with that, but I let that go, and I said, 'I love you and I've always loved you.'" Really? Because a few years ago her story was: "I was in the bathroom at a premiere for "Victor/Victoria" and [Amy Yasbeck] walked in and -- she's this beautiful woman. And she said, 'I am John Ritter's wife.' And I didn't know her. And, she said, 'You and John have to get together.' And she dragged me out of the bathroom and brought me to his table. And the two of us just looked at each other and hugged each other, and cried."

When confronted with this news, she did what any good Regressive would do. "That cant be true. I personally dont believe it." And there you have the Regressive mindset.

Is anyone watching this show? I did a search but I couldn't find any threads. I vaguely remember a thread about the episode about the florist in California. Last night they had some douchey gym owner-excuse me, "personal fitness wellness center". The guy was a roided out former body builder who was verbally abusive to his wife. His temperament would vacillate between macho stubborness and weepiness. I can't believe this owner was encouraging people on his Facebook page to watch the show. If you look at the webpage of his business you would think the guy was doing very well and was very accomplished. He also lied on the show: he stated that he had a degree in Physiology- but if you look at his webpage his degree is in marketing. He was straight out of central casting with his obnoxious New York accent and attitude. I initially thought he was from Philly.

Religious Right talk show host Kevin Swanson railed against the Disney film Frozen on Wednesday, accusing Disney of using the movie to turn children gay. Swanson told cohost Steve Vaughn that Satan is using the movie “to indoctrinate my 5-year-old to be a lesbian.” Swanson: Man, how many children are taken into these things and how many Christians are taking their kids off to see the movie Frozen, produced by an organization that is probably one of the most pro-homosexual organizations in the country? You wonder sometimes, I’m not a tinfoil hat conspiratorialist, but you wonder sometimes if maybe there’s something very evil happening here. If I was the Devil, what would I do to really foul up an entire social system and do something really, really, really evil to 5- and 6- and 7-year-olds in Christian families around America? Vaughn: I would make a movie. Swanson: I would buy Disney. If I was the Devil, I would buy Disney in 1984, that’s what I would have done. Vaughn: Then you would start making all these nice little movies that throw little things in there that make sin look enticing, in fact some of the worst of sins, make it look enticing or at least to start to indoctrinate slowly, turn the heat up on the frog in the pan. Swanson: Friends, this is evil, just evil. I wonder if people are thinking: “You know I think this cute little movie is going to indoctrinate my 5-year-old to be a lesbian or treat homosexuality or bestiality in a light sort of way.” I wonder if the average parent going to see Frozen is thinking that way. I wonder if they are just walking in and saying, “Yeah, let’s get my five-year-old and seven-year-old indoctrinated early.” You know they’re not, I think for the most part they’re oblivious. Maybe they do pick up on pieces of it but they just don’t get up and walk out. Swanson also criticized Disney for its opposition to the Boy Scouts of America’s ban on openly gay troop leaders, saying that parents should know that the company, along with public schools, is aiming to have “their children indoctrinated” into “the lifestyle of sodomy.” He added that it would be the “worst nightmare” of parents to have their child “turn into a sodomite.” Swanson: I’m guessing the majority of American parents don’t want their little boys turning into sodomites, at this point. if you were to interview, stick a microphone in front of most parents dropping their kids off at the average K-6 school in Colorado where they’re sporting their GLSEN signs everywhere, but if you just interview them and you ask them: “Is your vision for this little 6-year-old boy, 8-year-old boy, 9-year-old, 10-year-old boy that he turn into a sodomite?” My guess is that 60 to 70 percent of them would say, “that would be my worst nightmare.” Of course that changes over time and it does change, everything is slipping here. You feel it slipping, can’t you? You feel the whole sexual thing slipping down and it’s affecting boys. I think the position of parents with 18- to 22-year-old boys tends to change, especially as they’re being indoctrinated by Disney and others. American society I think is going to fracture on this one. The Boy Scouts are the fault line, you got six percent leaving, you got Disney pulling funding. This is fracturing our society and I can see how it might, I can see how some parents might be very strong, they don’t want their children indoctrinated in any way into the lifestyle of sodomy. Vaughn: And if you fall into that camp, you got to get them out of Sodom, you got to bring them home.

I refuse to watch any movie this little turd dropping stars in. I used to like Will Smith but now hate him for foisting his crotch fruit upon the population. I don't know what it is exactly that I find so repulsive about Jaden Smith. Maybe the arrogant smirk he always seems to have. Maybe the blatant and unabashed nepotism. Maybe the fact that he's essentially a beard baby for his father. Whatever it is, I get an immediate and violent reaction whenever I see his face on a commercial.

Rumors have swirled that Janet Jackson and her husband's marriage is on the rocks. Reports indicated that the singer is not happy with being married to Wissam Al Mana and has already filed for divorce. A source reportedly said she has already confided in her close friends and her mother Katherine Jackson that she's preparing to leave him. Another tabloid reported that Jackson will challenge the prenup and will also demand a payout from his fortune. Jackson was previously married to James SeBarge and Rene Elizonda. She also had a long-term relationship with rapper/producer, Jermaine Dupri. She secretly married Al Mana in 2012, whom she began dating in 2010. Back in October, the couple were taking steps to expanding their family by exploring the process of adopting a child from a third-world country. "She now pretty much knows pregnancy is not in the cards, so she's been looking into adopting," a source said at the time. "She's been very moved by the events in Jordan and Syria now that she's been living overseas. Not sure how soon it will happen, but there's been movement on this." Page Six also noted that Jackson even reached out to Queen Rania of Jordan to help out with the process. "Janet has always been concerned about the welfare of the world's children, and it's important to her that she affords a baby the opportunities that have been afforded her," a source told the paper.
Tina Turner is one strong woman, having emerged stronger and in tact from trials and tribulations that would have broken many down, but still - she's not infallible. So in adding son Ike Jr.'s illness and the recent death of her sister to her tumultuous history, it seems only natural that rumors about the singer and performer would start to emerge. According to her biographer, Mark Bego: "Losing Alline and seeing Ike Jr. so sick has hit her like a one-two punch. Tina has been in misery ever since her sister's death. And now Ike Jr. has taken a turn for the worse. Her friends fear she is drinking heavily in private to get over the pain. Those closest to her are beginning to believe that going into rehab may be her only salvation." Hopefully Bego is wrong, though it seems highly unlikely given the amount of time he inevitably spends with Turner and friends, not to mention the resources at his disposal as her biographer. Hopefully seeing the concern of others close to her will inspire Tina Turner to get the help she needs!
Queerty Reporting The pair were reportedly dating as early as last July when, according to a source close to the couple who spoke exclusively to Queerty, “they met in AA and were kicked out of the chapter for breaking the no-dating rules.” This was around the same time Jackson shaved his head, got a few interesting tattoos and grew a mustache amid his “mutual” split from Lapka. Speculation that Jackson switched coasts and began dating a younger man in order to “start fresh” began, and today, our source clears up come misconceptions about Jackson’s fiance: Jason Landau is NOT an actor, he’s an instructor with The Landmark Forum, a controversial offshoot of EST that’s been under investigation many, many times by state and fed gov’t for cult like activities and ponzi-scheme-like activity.

The petition, which demands that Bomer, 35, and Bledel, 31, take on the roles of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, respectively, was created on Change.org shortly after book author E.L. James revealed the casting decision on Monday, Sept. 2. "Matt Bomer is the perfect description of Christian Grey and Alexis Bledel is the perfect actress to represent Anastasia Steele and if they are not, nobody will be," a message at the top of the petition reads. "We can do anything guys, anything." As of Thursday, Sept. 5, the petition had already reached 48,384 supporters. The petition's creator then continued to post messages on the sounding board further down the page: "Many people say that we are doing this to criticize and make fun of Dakota Johnson and Charlie Hunnam … it's not true, we are doing this because we want and deserve to be heard." "It's 2013, it's a new era, the readers are as important as the director or producer," a recent message continued. "We are the critical. We deserve respect." And the fans' outrage hasn't fallen completely on deaf ears. In a recent interview with ETonline, Bomer admitted that while he is "so grateful for the fans and touched," he is "looking forward to seeing the movie with Charlie and Dakota." On Monday, producer Dana Brunetti took to Twitter to address devastated Fifty Shades readers. "There is a lot that goes into casting that isn't just looks," he wrote. "Talent, availability, their desire to do it, chemistry with other actor, etc. So if your favorite wasn't cast, then it is most likely due to something on that list." "Keep that in mind while hating and keep perspective," he added.
Fifty Shades of Grey Fans Double Petition Numbers, Matt Bomer Responds
"God, I never thought so-and-so would die before Liza did." I'm not talking about accidental deaths, but people who died of natural causes. Seriously, there are people I knew who lived clean and healthy lives, and who I definitely expected to live to a ripe old age. Yet they're gone, and Liza's still here? Their bodies gave out, but Liza's is still going? Amazing. (BTW, I'm not implying that I wish she were dead! Just that I assumed she would be by now.)
They met last summer on the set of upcoming movie, Tracers, and co-stars Taylor Lautner and Marie Avgeropoulos seem to be quite the happy couple.
...do you think about his wife-beating?
So I know this show has some fans on this board and apparently the fourth season premiere is already out. Showtime put it up the internet below. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet but here is a home for my fellow Mickey/Ian lovers.
This is the kind of lunatic you are supporting, closet-cases.
What's it like, especially for a gay guy? I'm tempted to move there because of the (apparently) extremely affordable cost of living. I'm impressed by the quality of homes you can purchase there for the price, and I know the property taxes are quite reasonable too. I've only really driven through there a few times, but it always looked quite clean and nice from what I could tell. And before you call me a loser or flyover or whatever, I'm disabled & on a small fixed income...that's why I will not and cannot live in a big, vibrant city. Thanks!
Most the of the guys on in are barebacking sex pigs. I joined years ago when it was one of the few hook up sites online, but it's gradually become disgusting. Saturday night one guy (married bi) who is constantly sending me chats wanted me to step out for a walk in the middle of the night so we could hook up in a park. Then last night he said that he was on his way to a sex party and could drop by to pick me up if I wanted to join in. I blocked him after that. Gross. And dangerous. It makes Grindr look like a Bible study.

Actress Patricia Heaton’s publicly pro-life stance is a rarity in Hollywood, especially considering the frequency with which she voices her views on abortion. But the star of TV’s “Everybody Loves Raymond” and “The Middle” said becoming a mom just made it something she feels she needs to speak out about. “It just bothers me so much. It’s almost a natural, it’s almost a reflex now,” said Heaton, a mother of four, told TheBlaze in an interview. “Once you have kids and you know what it feels like to be pregnant and you know what it feels like to have that person growing inside of you, and the beauty of it, it’s just not a holistic thing to do.” Despite having no qualms about sharing her pro-life views, Heaton, who also speaks openly about her Christianity, said it’s important to approach the issue with compassion. “It’s tricky, because I think it’s one out of three women who have an abortion, so whoever you’re talking to you can’t assume — and it doesn’t matter if they’re a Christian or not,” she told TheBlaze. “It’s a very sensitive subject, so you want to be sensitive so that in whatever you’re saying you could be really, deeply affecting somebody within listening distance.” She added, “In the Hollywood community, I’m the only one I know who says anything about it. I feel like I’m supposed to.” The actress, who stars in the upcoming film, “Moms’ Night Out,” also addressed the nature of media and how an entertainer’s comments about controversial issues sometimes end up becoming fodder for television news networks and commentators alike. She said these outlets end up taking something a performer says and running with it. “It happens on every TV show. So for actors, for a minute it feels like ‘I’m important. I got attention,’” Heaton explained. “Then you realize, ‘No someone is just using me to get their ratings up’ — and then you’re just sitting there sort of with the aftermath of opening your big fat mouth.” For Heaton, it’s all about picking and choosing when it’s appropriate to speak up. She also noted that one’s politics can easily be fused to his or her public persona and career — a development that can alienate audience members. “I think you really have to pick your battles and I think you can do so much more as an actor through your creative work than just spouting off your opinions,” she added.

Um, "Mark", Becky''s boyfriend, was waaayy to hot for Becky. Shit he was too hot for the 2nd Becky.\ \ I mean what was wrong with Jackie? She was probably just a few years older than Mark and a career girl - cop/truck drivers bring in good money for those kind of people.
I do not approve!
Does anyone else think so. She is so ugly and I'm not talking about personality-wise, I'm talking about physically.

Streisand wanted to make it for HBO in the mid-90s because she couldn't get a studio and distributor on board. Larry Kramer REFUSED because HBO wouldn't pay him his demanded $1 million for the script. When Larry Kramer sold the rights to Ryan Murphy, he publicly chastised Barbra for not paying for the movie out of her own pocket and gloated that Ryan Murphy would be making the theatrical adaptation he had always wanted. Today it was announced that Ryan Murphy's adaptation will be made for HBO with a budget of $15 million.

The Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature Study (BEST) is poised to release its findings next week on the cause of recent global warming. A forthcoming NY Times op-ed by Richard Muller, BEST’s Founder and Scientific Director, has been excerpted on a conservative website with the headline, “New Global Temperature Data Reanalysis Confirms Warming, Blames CO2.” I have spoken with scientists and journalists familiar with BEST’s findings, and the excerpt appears genuine. Here is the money paragraph: [quote]Call me a converted skeptic. Three years ago I identified scientific issues that, in my mind, threw doubt on the very existence of global warming. Now, after organizing an intensive research effort involving a dozen scientists, [bold]I’ve concluded that global warming is real, that the prior estimates of the rate were correct, and that cause is human.[/bold] Yes, yes, I know, the finding itself is “dog bites man.” What makes this “man bites dog” is that [italic]Muller has been a skeptic of climate science, and the single biggest funder of this study is the “Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation ($150,000).” The Kochs are the leading funder of climate disinformation in the world![/italic] It gets better: [quote]Our results show that the average temperature of the Earth’s land has risen by two and a half degrees Fahrenheit over the past 250 years, and one and a half degrees Fahrenheit over the most recent 50 years. Moreover, it appears likely that essentially all of this increase is due to the human emission of greenhouse gases. [quote]These findings are stronger than those of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the United Nations group that defines the scientific and diplomatic consensus on global warming. In short, a Koch-funded study has found that the IPCC “consensus” underestimated both the rate of surface warming and how much could be attributed to human emissions!
The anti-Michfest, it sounds like a circuit party for slutty lesbians. And why not? Any reports from past years?
I'm close friends with 3 sets of couples who always argue and criticize each other in public. More often than not, one of them will try to draw me into the argument, but I always make it a point to be a peacemaker. I know relationships have their ups and downs; however, what is the point of being with someone whom you think so lowly of, you'll go out of your way to embarrass them? Why do people think it's honestly okay to belittle their partner at every opportunity?
According to Popnography, Robert Downey Jr. tells Rolling Stone magazine that his rumored bisexuality was something he manufactured: "A lot of my peer group think I'm an eccentric bisexual. That's OK. Being relaxed about sexuality is something you're born with...[My bisexuality] was manufactured. I didn't have an identity. I was playing around. I expressed it. I grew up in the Rocky Horror Picture Show world, where even my butch friends turned out to be androgynous on Saturday nights."
Just nasty.

Women find men less attractive when they smile compared to when they take on swaggering or brooding poses, a Canadian study has found. In contrast, men find women more attractive when they smile, and least attractive when they look proud and confident, the study of 1,084 heterosexual university students shows. "Generally, the results appear to reflect some very traditional gender norms and cultural values that have emerged, developed and been reinforced through history, at least in Western cultures," Jessica Tracy, a sociologist at Vancouver's University of British Columbia, said in a statement Tuesday. She co-authored the study with psychology graduate student Alex Beall. Their results were published online Tuesday in the journal Emotion. While previous studies have shown that women are judged more attractive when they smile, the researchers believe this is the first study to show that men are judged less attractive when they appear happy. They suggested it was because smiling men were judged to be more feminine and less dominant. The study "helps to explain the enduring allure of 'bad boys' other iconic gender types" and may "inspire online daters to update their profile photo," said a news release about the study. Beall noted that the study explored first impressions and did not ask whether they thought the people in the photos would make a partner or spouse. "We wanted their gut reactions on carnal, sexual attraction," he said in a statement. The paper said one important question for future research is to find out whether the effects seen in judgments from photographs can be seen in live social interactions. The study took place in two stages. In the first, a research assistant showed about 100 study participants photographs of the same member of the opposite sex in four poses: Participants were asked to rate the person's attractiveness on a scale of one to nine, where nine was the most attractive. In the second stage, study participants were shown photographs online. The volunteers were divided into three categories: The photos were categorized into the same four categories %E2%80%94 happy, proud, ashamed and neutral %E2%80%94 by research assistants who did not know why the photos were being categorized. The study participants were asked to rate the attractiveness of the people in the photos. In all cases, men rated "happy" women highest %E2%80%94 above five on the scale. Proud women were rated on average one to two points lower, and were rated lowest among those shown the online photos. Women consistently rated the proud men highest, with a rating of four to five. They rated happy men about one point lower. Younger women rated happy men lowest, while older women tended to rate happy and ashamed men equally and neutral men lower. The researchers suggested that shame was considered somewhat attractive in both genders because it expresses respect for social norms.
I'm watching some old Law & Orders and I realize I never get tired of Orbach. I saw every play he was in from The Fantastics on. He never got the acclaim he should have. I used to be in with the NY theater crowd and no one, not one person, ever had a bad thing to say about Orbach. It figures he died and organ donor.

Was he ever considered more than a passable actor? Were his movie performances acclaimed at all?
A mob of nine men beat David Sal Silva, 33, to death in Bakersfield, California, last week. They hogtied him, bashed his head with batons, picked him up and then dropped him at least twice as he screamed and pleaded for his life. They committed this crime openly – I would say in broad daylight, except that it was around midnight. Nonetheless, they slaughtered Mr. Silva on a fairly busy road, across the street from a hospital and in view of the neighborhood’s residents and passers-by. Indeed, so blatant were they that said passers-by videotaped the atrocity from beginning to end on their cell phones. Which the thugs or their accomplices then stole, menacing and intimidating the witnesses. Where are the cops in all this? Protecting their own: the nine killers are sheriffs from Kern County. When a guard at the hospital called to report a “possibly intoxicated” man in the area, they descended to exterminate him. Their excuse is the usual: resisting arrest. But the onlookers vehemently deny that. One named Sulina Quair called to report the crime and courageously told a dispatcher in the sheriff’s office, “…These cops have no reason to do this to this man." She repeatedly stressed in her comments (listen to them here by scrolling to the bottom of the article) that the attack was unprovoked murder. The victim’s screams awakened Ruben Ceballos. "When I got outside,” says Mr. Ceballos, “I saw two officers beating a man with batons and they were hitting his head so every time they would swing, I could hear the blows to his head.” (More Inside)

The Rancid Honeytrap is taking Glenn on with a vengeance and Glenn is having any of it. I love this blogger, who is as he says: "Bilious, herbivorous, queer small a anarchist." [quote]Note how childish, dumb and technically inept it is. Also how homophobic. Then wonder what kind of person attracts fans such as these and even, on occasion, incites them. This incident is no anomaly. They say a picture speaks a thousand words, and this nicely encapsulates what The Friends of Glenn Greenwald have been saying to me for six months now. It rarely gets better. [quote]As anyone who has ever been insufficiently deferential to Glenn Greenwald in public knows, the alleged civil libertarian/savior of journalism cultivates and periodically incites a pack of internet brownshirts who enforce discipline on his behalf. Most of the commentary on this has come from Greenwald’s right, because until recently that’s where most of his acrimony was directed. But as his status increases and his affiliations change, the rare lefties calling him to account are getting a taste of this as well. Recently British independent journalist Jonathan Cook capitulated completely on some very tepid criticism he had offered only days before, after a swarming by Glenn’s fans and a self-serving lecture by Greenwald himself. [quote]I have become something of an expert on Greenwald’s frothy minions since he first sicced them on me six months ago via this fallacious rant on my blog, in which he deliberately mischaracterized practically every point I had made and obliquely suggested that I kill myself. Since writing the post that sent Greenwald into a tizzy, I have been the target of routine trolling on Twitter, usually in the form of extremely childish verbal abuse, but also in the form of lengthy, angry interrogations, akin to visits from Jehovah’s Witnesses vexed by my stubborn unwillingness to see the light. The research wing trawls through old tweets and blog posts looking for things that can be damningly quoted out of context. I am the subject of six Twitter ‘parody’ accounts, at least one of which simply mixes real tweets with fake for the sole purpose of mischaracterizing me. Glenn himself even cracks wise with this Tarzie parody — which of course endorses its smeary intent — though since vomiting on my blog six months ago, he never replies to me directly.
Are Friends of Glenn [greenwald] making homophobic attacks on his rivals?

I came upon the terminology in another thread. I recall hearing that "Fifty Shades of Grey" began that way but I've not read it. My tastes run towards biography and autobiography. I know there are people in publishing who post on DL. Just how bad is "Fan Fiction" and how many people are sending in manuscripts since that book became a best seller? Any idea as to the demographics of the writer/readers? Does this stuff actually sell? Thanks.

In their pursuit of a fugitive ex-cop, at least seven officers opened fire on what turned out to be a mother and daughter delivering newspapers on a quiet residential street, law enforcement sources told The Times. It was "a tragic misinterpretation" by officers working under "incredible tension," LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said Friday in an interview with The Times. Margie Carranza, 47, and her mother, Emma Hernandez, 71, were the victims.[...] around 5 a.m. Thursday in Torrance, police from nearby El Segundo saw a pickup truck exit a freeway and head in the general direction of the Redbeam Avenue residence of a high-ranking Los Angeles police official, which was being guarded by a group of LAPD officers. A radio call indicated that the truck matched the description of Dorner's gray Nissan Titan. As the vehicle approached the house, officers opened fire, unloading a barrage of bullets into the back of the truck. When the shooting stopped, they quickly realized their mistake. The truck was not a Nissan Titan, but a Toyota Tacoma. The color wasn't gray, but aqua blue. And it wasn't Dorner inside the truck, but Carranza and her mother delivering copies of the Los Angeles Times.[...] "How do you mistake two Hispanic women, one who is 71, for a large, black male?" said Richard Goo, 62, who counted five bullet holes in the entryway to his house. Glen T. Jonas, the attorney representing the women, said the police officers gave "no commands, no instructions and no opportunity to surrender" before opening fire. He described a terrifying encounter in which the pair were in the early part of their delivery route through several South Bay communities. Hernandez was in the back seat handing papers to her daughter, who was driving. Carranza would briefly slow the truck to throw papers on driveways and front walks. As bullets tore through the cabin, the two women "covered their faces and huddled down," Jonas said. "They felt like it was going on forever." Hernandez was shot twice in her back and is expected to recover. Her daughter escaped with only minor wounds from broken glass.
