There's a guy who lives a block away who has messed around with me about 7 times so far this year. He's always game and we always have fun, but I know nothing about him. He comes over, we do our thing, and twenty minutes to a half hour later and he's gone. I don't want to fuck with a good thing, but he's always quick to point out that the reason he can't host isn't a platonic roommate not a sexual roommate. Is that a hint that he'd be up for more than fucking around? Advice?

The meat was tough no matter which way I tried to slice it. The cabbage tasteless. The red potatoes and carrots came out with a little taste. Anyway, can it be turned into decent corned beef hash or is it ready for the trash? If so, anyone have a good corned beef hash recipe. I mean do I just cut the beef as well as I can, cut the red potatoes into small pieces add some onion and fry away in some oil or butter or will I just waste the onions and oil/butter or whatever else you tell me to put in adding insult to injury? Thanks in advance.

These were two powerful rock voices, they were all over 80s rock radio. But then what? They kept working, but people stopped buying. Its too bad, in their heyday they sang rings around the current divas like Katy Perry and Rhianna. Smythe in particular, she had an interesting raspy raw sound, like a tough girl. Even Van Halen wanted her in their band.

I'm one of the gays that also love watching straight pron because of the guys. Seeing the other thread about straight pron stars, I thought I'd start one with the link to who is considered the hottest by this particular website. I would add James Dean and Seth Gamble to the list. Some of the ones listed have also done gay pron . . . for instance the ever-hot Wolf Hudson. Pics from the thread are not naked but may not be safe for work either. Enjoy!

A 1970s mystery series set in 1940s New York, with Jim Hutton (very charming) as Ellery Queen, living with his father, a New York homicide detective. The same producers later did "Murder, She Wrote," but this is more stylish and fun -- and campy: every episode involves a "dying clue," and near the end of every show, Ellery says "I've got it!," breaks the fourth wall, and recaps the clues for the audience. The mysteries are tough but solvable, and the cast hams it up just enough to be fun. Last night I watched one where Eve Arden was a difficult radio soap-opera star who was poisoned on the air (Betty White was her agent). And John Hillerman is Ellery's nemesis, a snooty, nelly amateur sleuth who constantly refers to bachelor Ellery as "Queen" ("Hello, QUEEN." "I might have known I'd find you here, QUEEN.") Anyone else a fan of this show?

TOPEKA, Kan. — Anti-gay extremist Fred Phelps, founder of the Westboro Baptist Church and the “Gods Hate Fags” fundamentalist movement, is near death in a local hospice, according to a Facebook post Saturday night by his son Nathan Phelps. The younger Phelps, who left the church and his family’s compound in 1976 when he was 18-years-old, writes: “I’ve learned that my father, Fred Phelps, Sr., pastor of the “God Hates Fags” Westboro Baptist Church, was ex-communicated from the “church” back in August of 2013. He is now on the edge of death at Midland Hospice house in Topeka, Kansas. I’m not sure how I feel about this. Terribly ironic that his devotion to his god ends this way. Destroyed by the monster he made. I feel sad for all the hurt he’s caused so many. I feel sad for those who will lose the grandfather and father they loved.

And I’m bitterly angry that my family is blocking the family members who left from seeing him, and saying their good-byes.” Nathan Phelps noted that he is “not clear” as to why his father was ex-communicated. “I only have hearsay on the reason, and two different versions, so I won’t comment at this point other than to say he was moved into another house and watched over so he wouldn’t harm himself.” Fred Phelps, 84, founded the Westboro church in 1955, but it has been involved in actions against gay people since at least 1991, when it sought a crackdown on homosexual activity at a local park six blocks from the church. The group came into the national spotlight in 1998, when it picketed at the funeral of Matthew Shepard, an openly gay student at the University of Wyoming who was tortured near Laramie, Wyo., in October 1998, then tied to a fence and left to die. In 2011, the church stated that it had about 40 members. Nathan Phelps was the seventh of 13 children who left the Westboro church, which is largely made up of Phelps’ family members. He is a vocal LGBT advocate, and speaks out against the dangers of religion and child abuse. The Westboro church has made no public acknowledgement of Fred Phelps’ current condition.

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.

Guinness today announced that the beer company would drop its sponsorship of the New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade due to the parade's discriminatory rule that prohibits LGBT families and organizations from participating. In a statement released today, Guinness said: Guinness has a strong history of supporting diversity and being an advocate for equality for all. We were hopeful that the policy of exclusion would be reversed for this year’s parade. As this has not come to pass, Guinness has withdrawn its participation. We will continue to work with community leaders to ensure that future parades have an inclusionary policy. "Today, Guinness sent a strong message to its customers and employees: discrimination should never be celebrated," said GLAAD CEO & President Sarah Kate Ellis. "As a gay mom who has fond memories of the New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade, it saddens me that I can't give those same memories to my own kids because my family isn't welcome. Hopefully, as parade organizers realize that anti-LGBT discrimination is not supported by sponsors, or many Irish New Yorkers, they'll see that families like mine should be part of the celebration." Stonewall Inn, which had planned to stop selling Guinness because of the sponsorship, confirmed today that it looks forward to serving Guinness on St. Patrick's Day and beyond. A previously scheduled event at Stonewall was canceled in light of the news. On Friday, after GLAAD reached out to sponsors of the parade, Heineken dropped its sponsorship, saying that the company is "passionate about equality for all people." Also on Friday, following outreach from MassEquality, Sam Adams announced that it, too, would drop its sponsorship of the South Boston St. Patrick's Day Parade, which also bans LGBT people from taking part. Ford Motors remains the last major American corporation to continue its support of the discriminatory parade. In a statement to CNBC last week, Ford said: Ford Motor Company is involved in a wide range of events and organizations in communities across the country and around the world, including long-standing participation in this parade. No one person, group or event reflects Ford's views on every issue. What we can tell you is that Ford is proud of its inclusive policies. Every member of the Ford team is valued, and we provide employee benefits regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation.

Speaking on his weekly television show The Last Leg which aired in the United Kingdom last night, the former Spicks and Specks host condemned the US comedienne's recent comments on late-night talk show, The Late Show with David Letterman. "If you make fat jokes about Adele, you're being a d---," Hill said. "And I'm referring to you, Joan Rivers." "Adele is one of the very few women in pop music I want my daughter to look up to and you're making jokes about the way she looks when you're so insecure about your own face you've spent more money on it than the producers of Life of Pi spent on that tiger." "Get a plastic surgeon to manufacture yourself a new soul." The rant was out of character for Hills, a comedian known for his friendly nature and non-confrontational comedic style. Rivers has faced widespread criticism for her appearance on the talk show, where she described meeting Adele at the Oscars and made unflattering comments about the singer's size. "What is her song? Rolling In the Deep? She should add fried chicken," the 79-year-old joked. Rivers has also faced strong criticism for a joke made earlier in the week about German supermodel Heidi Klum. "The last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into the ovens," Rivers, who is Jewish, joked. Despite the backlash, Rivers has so far refused to apologise.

I know these HGTV shows are plotted. I wonder, do these guys deliberately leave out some major structural problem that they know about when they present the renovation plan? Because there is always some huge problem that eats away a good portion of the budget. Like --- did you not check the plumbing by flushing the toilets and running the faucets before you told the couple to buy this house? Seriously? The entire underground plumbing needs to be replaced and you had no idea? They are good looking, but are they retarded? Or does everybody really know about these big problems before they buy the house and start renovating?

Anyone else here switch from an iPhone to another one? What do you get and how do you like it? Pros and cons, etc.. I love my Mac devices. I have a Mac laptop and a iMac desktop. I also have an iPad. However, I'm really disappointed that the iPhone really hasn't changed much since the first one came out. Why should I pay $200 for the new 5s when it's not much different than my 4s? I'm still in awe of the fact that the iPhones still have such small screens. I know a lot of people like a smaller phone, but I'd really like a bigger screen and keyboard now. I'm looking into the HTC One and the Samsung 4.

Anyone remember this Australian band? They were kind of the Air Supply of the late 90s. So what was the deal with their breakup? Supposesly Daniel Jones, the Andrew Ridgeley/John Oates/Art Garfunkel half of the duo, wasn't comfortable being in the public eye and wanted a break from touring and publicity. Darren Hayes recorded a solo album and came out and soon after anounced that Savage Garden was over. Does anyone know the real dirt of their breakup? When asked about reuniting both men are adamant that it will never happen. Hayes was quoted as saying something like 'not even if it cured cancer.' Definitely some bad blood there. Was Hayes in love with straight Jones? Did they have a romantic relationship that ended badly? Or was Jones a homophobe who didn't want to be in a "gay" band? He's since married a woman and had kids.

Fred Phelps, the one-time leader of the infamous "GOD HATES FAGS" church, is on his deathbed in Kansas. Hopefully, you can carry on with your day having learned of this terrible news. Phelps' son Nathan, who left the church in 1980 and now lives in Canada working on behalf of LGBT rights, posted on Facebook late last night that his father is dying in a hospice in Topeka. I've learned that my father, Fred Phelps, Sr., pastor of the "God Hates Fags" Westboro Baptist Church, was ex-communicated from the "church" back in August of 2013. He is now on the edge of death at Midland Hospice house in Topeka, Kansas. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Terribly ironic that his devotion to his god ends this way. Destroyed by the monster he made. I feel sad for all the hurt he's caused so many. I feel sad for those who will lose the grandfather and father they loved. And I'm bitterly angry that my family is blocking the family members who left from seeing him, and saying their good-byes. The legacy Phelps will leave is of having turned his religion into a sideshow, and of having made the notion of the protest a farce. We may never know the extent to which Phelps realized that his church moved the "cause" backwards, or whether he even gave a shit. But we know that above all the Westboro Baptist Church loved attention, and now its ex-leader will die quietly as the world spins uninterrupted.

What the fuck? I have lost 45lbs over the last several months by eating only fruit, vegetables and grilled chicken or fish. I decided to have one 'cheat meal', a couple spicy salmon rolls at a nice sushi place. It was delicious, and a nice change, as I hadn't eaten rice for months. Also, I rarely eat out, so it was a fun treat. I stepped onto the scale the next morning and was horrified. How the hell did that happen? Of course I went right back to my regular healthy meals, but it's been three days and I'm still up by 6lbs. Is this what happens when you diet and then eat a few hundred calories over what you are used to?

So, I've had an iPhone for a few years and switched to an Android (LG G2) a few months ago. In the past I have had Blackberries, Droids (the X) and the old flip phones. I really wanted to love the Android, but man, I just don't. The cutting/pasting/clipboard shit is a pain in the ass, so is the keyboard. And what the fuck with all of the multiple photo albums? Also, like another poster I read about here, my Android will not allow me to watch any of my Amazon Prime videos. And many of the newer cars have ports for iPhones, but not Android. I mainly got it because of the fantastic screen size and beautiful photo and video resolution. It really is a joy to look at. If you have any tips to help me love this phone, please post. I'm stuck with it for a while..

I'm 42 years old, gay, single, and I don't have a single friend in the world. I am not close with my family. Throughout my life, I have had friends - but the friendships never last. I think the longest may have been four months. It is ALWAYS the other person (with two exceptions) who decides to sever the friendship, and they never explain why. I have gone to psychiatrists (for years) who have told me there is nothing wrong with me and I just need to try again and not be so discouraged. How can there be nothing wrong with me when every single friend I have had avoids me, leaving me wondering what went wrong? Just to be clear: I haven't sought out A-listers, hunks, porn stars or the most desirable men out there. I work; I pay my own way and am not looking for favours or connections. I'm just looking for a few guys I can watch a movie with, laugh, and chat with.
Since the spoiler in the "official thread" states that his spoilers are wanted, can we have a thread that doesn't say what happens in each episode until it has aired?

Anyway, he snatched my iPhone right out of my hand and threw it to the floor, spewing obscenities at both me and Jake! Frothing at the mouth, he drew back his leg and kicked me right in the cunt! Jake finally shook himself out of what appeared to be a catatonic state and pulled Van away from me, but the damage was done. I've been in the hospital for weeks while my broken vagina bone heals. I got flowers and a get well card from Jake, apologizing for Van's behavior.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Comedian David Brenner passed away Saturday, a spokesman for his family said. He was 78. Jeff Abraham, who was Brenner’s publicist, said the “Tonight Show” favorite died Saturday afternoon at his home in New York City. The gangly, toothy Brenner made more than 150 appearances as a guest and substitute host on Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show,” starting in the 1970s. The exposure turned the former documentary filmmaker into a hot comedian. Brenner was a regular on other TV talk shows and game shows and starred in four HBO comedy specials. He also briefly hosted his own syndicated talk show in 1987. Howard Stern tweeted about Brenner Saturday following the news of his passing, saying “Keep David in your thoughts.

Re the false passports of the 2 Iranians on the doomed Malaysian flight . . .
Looking for confirmation
With the election last June of Hassan Rouhani as Iran’s president, there were hopes for a Persian Spring that would improve human rights for the country’s struggling LGBT community. Those hopes have not been borne out. Two new studies addressing the plight of the LGBT community in the Islamic Republic — and a detailed letter from human rights organizations to Rouhani mandate an alarming conclusion: Iran’s authoritarian regime continues to enforce anti-LGBT repression, and sanctions that reflect lethal homophobia remain codified in law. Rouhani declared prior to his election victory: "All Iranian people should feel there is justice” and “Long live citizen rights!" His rhetoric proved to be empty. The United Nations special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Dr. Ahmed Shaheed, published a scathing indictment of violence against LGBT Iranians last October. Under the section headed "Other Forms of Cruel and Inhuman Punishment," Shaheed chastised Iran’s authorities for meting out the penalty of flogging for "illicit relationships and nonpenetrative homosexual acts." Shaheed, widely considered one of the world’s top human rights experts, noted in his report that Iran’s effort to revise its Islamic Penal Code failed to expunge "homosexual acts" from the list of capital offenses. Shari’a — what is commonly referred to as Islamic law — plays a critical role in the application of punishment, particularly the death penalty, under Iranian law. Shari’a law codifies punishments called hudud, which are applied to a defined set of crimes, including acts of sodomy. Separately, there is a form of punishment labeled ta’zir, to be meted out at a judge’s discretion; this usually includes "other homosexual acts." [bold]Iranian Islamic law differentiates between passive and active sodomy convictions. A convicted passive partner faces the death penalty, whereas an active partner, if unmarried, may receive 100 lashes. A married active partner faces execution.[/bold] The regime vehemently rejects Shaheed’s report. In January, Mullah Mostafa Pour Mohammadi, Rouhani’s justice minister, called Shaheed a "corrupt person." As deputy intelligence minister, Pour Mohammadi was one of a circle of top officials responsible for the slaughter of thousands of political prisoners in 1988. All this helps explain the bleak outlook for the realization of Rouhani’s promises of reform. [bold]"Nothing essential has changed. The structure is still the same. It’s a play, a comic and ugly performance. They’re relying on the naiveté of people to be able to succeed," the gay Iranian poet Payam Feili said about Rouhani’s administration[/bold]. Feili’s poetry cannot be published because he is on a blacklist.
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.

[quote]On her feelings towards plastic surgery: "I'm not for it. I'm not against it. I have plenty of friends who do stuff and if it makes you feel good, great. But I don't think it's the fix for some sort of unease that you're having about who you are as a human being. I don't think I need plastic surgery at this point. Can we just go day-by-day on that one?" [quote]On her underwear scene in 'This Means War': "I don't worry about it. I have the body I earned. I had two kids and I'm still strong and healthy. And you start to have a different respect for your body the older you get. Instead of tearing yourself apart all the time, you start to go 'Oh wow!'" [quote]On being frugal: "I have this fixation about this black leather The Row purse, but it's so prohibitively expensive, I will not allow myself to buy it. I literally go to the store to visit it. Too much money - it feels decadent. I can't wrap my brain around it. If I bought it, I'd only feel upset about it and take it back."
Regarding Kate Hudson: [quote]She is known, pretty, and relatable," says this former chief, "But I don't know what her prospects are - and not because of her, but because the genre of romantic comedy is kind of confusing right now … I think she and all the women in her age group - I would even include Reese Witherspoon - need roles tailored for them and that those kinds of movies are not being written. [quote]"What movie would you make for them?" asks our former studio chief, "They can't date anymore, they're all mothers. After a while, trying to extract the same story from the same tropes gets old." [quote]"These actresses? They're fucked. Good luck to Kate and Reese. When Cameron [Diaz] was getting cold, she bet on herself, took just a million dollars on Bad Teacher. But even that's not a romantic comedy. The mid-budget studio film - what used to be the sweet spot for romantic comedy - is getting painfully squeezed."

Texas television station KCBD kicked up a cloud of anti-Muslim bigotry Tuesday night by sharing an alert from the National Weather Service on its Facebook page. “Haboob northwest of Lubbock as seen from the Science Spectrum,” the NWS warned. “If you must drive west of Lubbock, plan for near-zero visibility in blowing dust and strong winds of 50+ mph.” Although haboobs are more commonly known as “dust storms,” a NWS meteorologist said the Arabic word refers to a particular weather phenomenon. A haboob refers specifically to a wall of dust created by cool, dense air blowing away from a thunderstorm or along a cold front, said meteorologist Jerome James. But it signaled something even more threatening to some of the station’s Facebook fans. “Never had a haboob until we got that muslim boob for potus,” said viewer Jeff Bertrand, referring to President Barack Obama, who is believed by some of this critics to secretly be a Muslim. Meteorologists have used the word “haboob” since at least the 1950s, James said. He said dry conditions in Texas had made the phenomenon, with its distinctive brown skies, more common in recent years. The English language uses many words with Arabic origins, including cotton, algebra, candy, lemon, alcohol, and sofa.

Goodbye, Newman.
Let's discuss him. Here he is performing "I Stepped in Quicksand" sometime in the 1990s. He was married briefly in the '50s, but otherwise, I have read nothing about any romantic relationships. He seems rather fey. Was he "family"? At any rate, I love his music and he had such a soothing voice.
Maybe you want Seth to return? Maybe you want them to pick someone edgier? Maybe you want someone more traditional? Who do you think should host the Oscars? Please try to pick someone who could actually make it through the ceremony though if you think Kristin Stewart should host then go right ahead.

Who Is This “Pendulum Prince”? The Royal Husband was already a man of a certain reputation when his naïve bride married him. She wanted to believe the romantic best about a man she adored, and so ignored the society rumours that swirled in more than one country. Although he is still attractive to ladies, some in high places whisper that he is gay, which is unlikely to be 100% true, and he is certainly the father of all his children. Others are convinced that he is a ‘pendulum prince’ — i.e. one who swings both ways, a label attached to more than one royal man. It wouldn’t matter too much if the Royal Wife had known and accepted his inclinations at the time of their marriage, but apparently she didn’t and the truth came as a great shock. In dynastic style, she put the family line first and buried herself in work. While the Royal Wife was busy, busy, busy with cutting ribbons and pastimes of her own, the Royal Husband found plenty of me time, down time, and private time with some close friends, prudently away from the attentions of paparazzi. There were a number of crises, but the Royal Wife insisted putting on a public front. When it came to the children, the Royal Husband was overly strict. The Royal Wife looked the other way, just as she did over his other activities. The result was that the children were emotionally damaged by such harsh discipline. One had rebellious episodes, and although is technically ‘settled’, some fear that situation might not hold forever. Another has had relationship difficulties that have attracted speculative gossip. At the moment, the Royal Wife lets the Royal Husband pretty much do exactly as he likes. This is not the British Royal Family, although Queen Elizabeth knows all about the Royal Husband; all royal families know each other and most know each other’s secrets. The late Princess Diana also knew about this Royal Husband, but not through marrying Charles and joining the House of Windsor. And that is actually the biggest clue of all.

He comes across remarkably self-assured for his age (if also slightly douchey). He has this handsome gymnast buddy from whom he seems inseparable. I wonder if the two of them have tasted each other's dicks. (It would be interesting and kind of fitting if he turned out to be gay, what with his mom's gay icon status.)

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!

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?

Russian Troops Seize Gas Plant Beyond Crimean Border, Ukraine Says Scores of Russian troops that landed by helicopter seized a gas plant just beyond the regional border of Crimea on Saturday, the Ukrainian government said. The action was Russia’s most provocative since its forces took over Crimea two weeks ago. The latest troop advance came one day before Crimea was set to vote on whether to secede from Ukraine, and it was testing Ukrainian leaders’ resolve to engage Russia’s much more powerful military if it moved beyond Crimea. By late afternoon, Ukrainian troops were stationed outside the gas plant, which is on a slender sand bar to the east of the Crimean Peninsula, according to Unian, a Ukrainian news service, which quoted the local police. The news agency did not say if shots were fired. The Ukrainian foreign ministry issued a statement saying that the nation reserved the right to use all necessary measures to stop what it called a “military invasion by Russia.”
A petition submitted to the White House's "We the People" website calling for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) to be tried in a federal court for treason has reached the requisite 25,000 signatures for an administration response. The petition, which claims that Feinstein's recent push for a renewed assault weapons ban makes her guilty of "treason to the Constitution," has received attention in right-wing blog circles. It has been pushed on InfoWars, a site run by prominent conspiracy-theorist Alex Jones, who recently drew attention for firing off an explosive rant on CNN host Piers Morgan's program on Monday night. Jones himself had helped coordinate a highly successful White House petition to deport Morgan over his outspoken support for gun control measures, which earned a preliminary response from the administration on Monday. From the petition against Feinstein: Senator Dianne Feinstein has made it clear she does not believe in the Constitution or the inalienable rights of Americans to keep and bear arms. She is actively working to destroy the 2nd amendment with her 2013 assault weapons ban. For this reason we the people of the united States petition for her to be tried in Federal Court for treason to the Constitution. In the wake of the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn. last month -- in which a gunman used a military-style assault weapon to gun down 26 people, including 20 young children -- Feinstein has declared her intention to submit legislation to reinstate an assault weapons ban like the one that expired in 2004. She outlined her goals in a press release stating that her primary objective would be to target weapons that support large-capacity ammunition feeding devices. The senator's campaign has drawn some backlash from pro-gun advocates, including Marine veteran Joshua Boston, who last month penned a letter to Feinstein accusing her of "overstepp[ing] a line that is not your domain" and treating gun-owners like "servants."
I have posted on DL several times before about my straight buddy who texts me occasionally to come by and suck him off. He has this beautiful cock that I honestly cannot get enough of. %0D %0D He is the one with the curtain set up where he is half on the bed and half off. The curtain separates his lower half from upper. He watches porn while I suck him. He doesn't see me and I don't see him.%0D %0D About two years ago I convinced him to let me have a go at it. Since then I have done it about 30 times. He text me every once and a while or I will text him, "are you set?" and he will respond if he is up for a quickie. Usually I just suck him, get him primed, no cum, for a girl he is hooking up with that night. Sometimes I get his load. It's completely one sided, I know, and I love it.%0D %0D Anyway, tonight, I am just about off from work, I text him the usual. He tells me that it would have to be a quickie and probably no cum this time. Then he asks if I could pick up a roast beef sandwich on the way over! Says he is broke. %0D %0D I obliged him with the sandwich. But I made sure to stay around for the load. I waited in line for 10 minutes at the Food Emporium for that thing. I thought it was only fair.
I've recently discovered him and think he's cute. What is he known for other than Dancing with the Stars? What does DL know about him?
Anyone planning to picket? The article says the old man was kicked out of his own church at the end. Hmmmm. Change of heart? Doubt it. "Why was he kicked out of his own church? Did he have a change of heart near the end of his life? There’s no definitive answer to that and Nate has heard different things (so any explanation is pure speculation right now). In any case, it appears that Fred Phelps doesn’t have much longer to live. While some may rejoice at that, Nate’s tone over the phone was anything but happy. He’s losing his father. A father who dedicated his life to spreading hatred and made the lives of so many others so miserable, but a father nonetheless."

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).

There seems to be a growing trend in side projects among actresses recently. Replacing fragrance and fashion lines, lifestyle brands seems to be where its at. The leader in this new crop of mini-Martha Stewarts is, of course, Gwyneth Paltrow who has been expanding her Goop company at a rapid rate—her latest addition being a fitness and diet series with Tracy Anderson. And now another Oscar winner (and pal of Paltrow) is in the early stages of starting her of lifestyle company. Reese Witherspoon has just hired C. Wonder president Andrea Hyde to act as CEO of her new and unnamed project. The brand will have a southern influence as Reese hails from Nashville. We're guessing beauty, fashion, health and food will all be hot topics. Just last week, the star was taking cooking classes at a Culinary Institute in Nappa Valley with Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz—two gals who have also recently released lifestyle books. Reese's new company is set to launch in 2015, but there is another blond star who will probably debut a similar project before then. Blake Lively confirmed to Vogue UK last fall that she has been working on a Goop-like site. "I have so many passions outside of acting and things that I grew up being good at and that I don't utilize when acting," Ryan Reynolds' wife shared. "Acting was something that my family did so I just kind of got into it by default, but there was so much that I cultivated, thinking that I wouldn't be an actor." Fair enough. Apparently there's quite a lot of well-rounded women in Hollywood.

I have always had a major thing for Jewish guys but I am unlucky and have never actually managed to bed one. This weekend I might have the opportunity. Just so I am prepared in case I have to make a "no, not at all disappointed" facial expression when/if (crossing fingers!) I get to put a hand on the goods, is there any rule of thumb or common wisdom on where Jewish guys fall on the size spectrum? In other words, should I expect above average, below average, or average-average, or is there no particular tendency for Jewish guys to be hung in any particular part of the spectrum due to the diversity of the gene pool? No responses addressing whether he is "intact" are required--he is secular but is culturally Jewish, strongly so, plus it's Amurrkuh so the odds he was not mutilated shortly after birth approach zero.

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.

That's a little over 11 pounds per month, which doesn't seem too bad. I know weight lifting is key, and I've seen some friends who have had good results with HIIT, especially sprinting. As far as diet goes, I'm thinking it's best to keep things simple and stick with lean meats, veggies, fruits, and "slow" carbs (sweet potatoes, brown rice, etc.)--kind of like a bodybuilder's diet. Any tips/anything I'm missing?
...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.

[italic] Opposing the minimum wage, overtime pay, even child labor laws, the GOP is trying to make it easier to exploit workers. [/italic[ Silly me: President Obama’s executive order to expand opportunities for overtime pay Thursday seemed like a win-win. Currently, if you make more than $23,000, you can’t necessarily receive overtime; the president’s order would raise that cap, and also make it harder for employers to classify people with almost no supervisory duties as “supervisors” and thus exempt. Where’s the downside? Newly qualified workers currently being forced to work overtime without pay will now get higher wages. Or, if their employer doesn’t want to spring for the overtime pay (traditionally time and a half), they will have to expand their workforce to get the work done. Higher wages and/or more jobs: Sounds good, right? Not to Republicans, of course. The backlash to the president’s overtime-pay expansion just makes clear what we’ve known for a long time: They oppose every attempt by government to reward hard work and protect the rights of workers – unless it applies to the very wealthy. Speaker John Boehner sounded unusually befuddled opposing Obama’s move. “If you don’t have a job, you don’t qualify for overtime. So what do you get out of it? You get nothing,” he told the Washington Post. “The president’s policies are making it difficult for employers to expand employment. And until the president’s policies get out of the way, employers are going to continue to sit on their hands.” The president’s policies are in fact making it harder for employers to exploit their workers. That’s all. As Jared Bernstein told the New York Times. “I think a potential side effect is that you may see more hiring in order to avoid overtime costs, which would be an awfully good thing right about now." Or you’ll see higher wages, which would also be an awfully good thing. One of the major causes of rising income inequality is that back in the 1970s, rising productivity suddenly became detached from rising wages. For decades — since the labor-rights reforms and social welfare advances of the ’30s and ’40s — the two lines climbed in tandem, with higher productivity translating into higher paychecks. The two came apart, in what’s become known as “the great divergence,” at the same time as income inequality began to climb. There are many reasons for the productivity-wage split, including a stagnant minimum wage, declining union membership, and weaker labor rights overall – including less compensated overtime. Republicans no longer accept that it was government intervention in the economy, first in the Progressive era and then, more forcefully, after the Great Depression, that created the greatest economic boom and the biggest middle class in history. The 40-hour work week. The weekend. Vacations. Child labor laws. The minimum wage. Social Security. Health and safety protection. All of these represented government intervention on the side of working people, to balance the playing field with exploitive employers, and to carve out a realm of family and personal life that could be protected from ceaseless labor. Progressive public policy essentially created childhood, as a time when kids who weren’t wealthy might be educated and protected from labor abuse. These became bipartisan values, with some debating around the margins, through Richard Nixon’s administration. But then a pro-business backlash put all of those gains back on the table. Republicans are now trying to repeal the 20th century. “The federal government, in particular, shouldn’t be involved in labor markets in any way, shape or form,” says Jeffrey Miron, economic studies director at the Cato Institute. Cato is a libertarian think tank, but Miron’s once-radical point of view is now the GOP mainstream.
I'm planning to do a "see the country" tour this summer, and would like to compile a list of really nice hotels. Thanks!
Believe it or not, people with this affliction, at their very core, are the inverse of the narcissist. People with BPD start out 'too sensitive', too empathetic. People with borderline personality disorder empathize to the point of pain. When the highly sensitive person grows up in a very non-validating and/or abusive environment, with a history of trauma, BPD can manifest. In order for borderline personality to develop, an invalidating environment with and a highly sensitive person MUST BE present. What is going on in a Borderline Personality Disorder sufferer's mind and how they are acting can be two entirely different things. To the sufferer, BPD is about deep feelings, feelings often too difficult to express, feelings that are something along the lines of this : If others really get to know me, they will find me rejectable and will not be able to love me; and they will leave me; I need to have complete control of my feelings otherwise things go completely wrong; I have to adapt my needs to other people's wishes, otherwise they will leave me or attack me; I am an evil person and I need to be punished for it; Other people are evil and abuse you; If someone fails to keep a promise, that person can no longer be trusted; If I trust someone, I run a great risk of getting hurt or disappointed; If you comply with someone's request, you run the risk of losing yourself; If you refuse someone's request, you run the risk of losing that person; I will always be alone; I can't manage by myself, I need someone I can fall back on; There is no one who really cares about me, who will be available to help me, and whom I can fall back on; I don't really know what I want; I will never get what I want; I'm powerless and vulnerable and I can't protect myself;. I have no control of myself; I can't discipline myself; My feelings and opinions are unfounded; Other people are not willing or helpful. To the family members, BPD behavior is often very frustrating can feel unfair and punitive - something like this: You have been viewed as overly good and then overly bad; You have been the focus of unprovoked anger or hurtful actions, alternating with periods when the family member acts perfectly normal and very loving; Things that you have said or done have been twisted and used against you; You are accused of things you never did or said? You often find yourself defending and justifying your intentions; You find yourself concealing what you think or feel because you are not heard; You feel manipulated, controlled, and sometimes lied to.

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.

Writing in his own Decision magazine, Franklin Graham (son of Billy Graham) called Obama's embrace of LGBT rights "shameful," and said he should follow in Putin's footsteps. “Isn’t it sad, though, that America’s own morality has fallen so far that on this issue — protecting children from any homosexual agenda or propaganda — Russia’s standard is higher than our own?," wrote Graham, who included some caveats, saying his support for Putin wasn't unequivocal. “In my opinion, Putin is right on [LGBT] issues,” Graham writes. “Obviously, he may be wrong about many things, but he has taken a stand to protect his nation’s children from the damaging effects of any gay and lesbian agenda.”

I've always hated this movie, but I hadn't seen it in a long time. It was on cable the other night, so I checked it out. My God, it was worse than I remembered. Keanu Reeves' bad accent is legendary, but there is so much more that is awful about this film. Anthony Hopkins gives one of the worst performances of his career as Van Helsing. Gary Oldman waltzes through this thing as if he just knows he's going to win an Oscar (ha!). Most of the dialogue is just embarrassingly bad. And what the fuck was up with those 2 big hair buns on either side of Oldman's head as the older version of Dracula?? In silhouette he looked just like Mickey Mouse. The whole thing is pure camp, but not even remotely in a good way. This is truly one of the worst films ever made.

(Note: "The Wendy Williams Show" has removed the video referenced below from its website) Wendy Williams sat down with a panel of media personalities on her popular daytime talk show "The Wendy Williams Show" this week to discuss a transgender athlete's lawsuit against CrossFit for alleged discriminatory practices. Chloie Jonsson, a personal trainer and CrossFit athlete living in Los Gatos, Calif., recently filed a $2.5 million lawsuit against CrossFit for violating her civil rights. CrossFit allegedly denied Jonsson the opportunity to participate in the women's division at the upcoming CrossFit Games, despite the fact that she is legally recognized as a woman in the state of California and had gender confirmation surgery in 2006. CrossFit reportedly stated that Jonsson was denied the chance to compete in the Games' women's division because she was "born as a male." Williams told viewers that she agrees that Jonsson should not be permitted to compete in the women's division at the CrossFit Games, due to the fact that "this is an unfair advantage... you can take away female parts or male parts or whatever -- it's like Chaz Bono! You know Chaz is a man now, but I bet she [sic] still fights like a girl like the rest of us and she's [sic] not as strong as a man who was born a man." Many in the audience appear to enthusiastically back up Williams' claims that Jonsson should not be allowed to compete. While Judge Lynn Toler of "Divorce Court" tries to provide a legal perspective that validates why Jonsson should be able to compete as a woman, Joe Pardavila of "The Todd Show" has a different perspective. "Think about it," Pardavila states. "You look inside -- she's got all guy muscles, and the juices! You know, I'm not a doctor or anything but inside her that's all there." Transgender model Carmen Carrera recently spoke out about CrossFit's allegedly discriminatory practices, reportedly telling the fitness empire to "Put [Chloie] under the test and I bet her [testosterone] levels are the same as the rest of the competitors. Run some tests to make it fair." Williams isn't the first television personality to come under fire for their treatment of issues surrounding transgender identity. Last month, transgender writer Janet Mock sat down for an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan, later taking to Twitter to take the news anchor to task for "sensationalizing" her life through the interview's packaging. Additionally, Katie Couric landed herself in hot water for questioning Carmen Carrera about her "private parts" in early January.

[bold]...and secret history of ruthlessly intimidating workers [/bold] You might find your Prime membership morally indefensible after reading these stories about worker mistreatment ~ Simon Head, 02/24/14 [italic] Excerpted from "Mindless: Why Smarter Machines Are Making Dumber Humans"[/italic] When I first did research on Walmart’s workplace practices in the early 2000s, I came away convinced that Walmart was the most egregiously ruthless corporation in America. However, ten years later, there is a strong challenger for this dubious distinction—Amazon Corporation. Within the corporate world, Amazon now ranks with Apple as among the United States’ most esteemed businesses. Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s founder and CEO, came in second in the Harvard Business Review’s 2012 world rankings of admired CEOs, and Amazon was third in CNN’s 2012 list of the world’s most admired companies. Amazon is now a leading global seller not only of books but also of music and movie DVDs, video games, gift cards, cell phones, and magazine subscriptions. Like Walmart itself, Amazon combines state-of-the-art CBSs with human resource practices reminiscent of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Amazon equals Walmart in the use of monitoring technologies to track the minute-by-minute movements and performance of employees and in settings that go beyond the assembly line to include their movement between loading and unloading docks, between packing and unpacking stations, and to and from the miles of shelving at what Amazon calls its “fulfillment centers”—gigantic warehouses where goods ordered by Amazon’s online customers are sent by manufacturers and wholesalers, there to be shelved, packaged, and sent out again to the Amazon customer. Amazon’s shop-floor processes are an extreme variant of Taylorism that Frederick Winslow Taylor himself, a near century after his death, would have no trouble recognizing. With this twenty-first-century Taylorism, management experts, scientific managers, take the basic workplace tasks at Amazon, such as the movement, shelving, and packaging of goods, and break down these tasks into their subtasks, usually measured in seconds; then rely on time and motion studies to find the fastest way to perform each subtask; and then reassemble the subtasks and make this “one best way” the process that employees must follow. Amazon is also a truly global corporation in a way that Walmart has never been, and this globalism provides insights into how Amazon responds to workplaces beyond the United States that can follow different rules. In the past three years, the harsh side of Amazon has come to light in the United Kingdom and Germany as well as the United States, and Amazon’s contrasting conduct in America and Britain, on one side, and in Germany, on the other, reveals how the political economy of Germany is employee friendly in a way that those of the other two countries no longer are.

Why does this nerd have any political pull whatsoever? Dude you invented Facebook, that's great, but shut the fuck up and let the real players do their jobs. Outraged by new revelations about the government's Internet surveillance programs, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Thursday that he telephoned President Barack Obama personally to complain about "the damage the government is creating for all of our future." Zuckerberg's Wednesday night phone call -- the latest sign of the tech industry's growing alarm over government spy efforts -- came on the heels of a news report that said the National Security Agency has developed a computer program that can install spying software by masquerading as a Facebook network server when a surveillance target attempts to visit the social network. The NSA, in a statement issued Thursday, denied that it impersonates "U.S. social media or other websites." But in a post on his own Facebook account, Zuckerberg wrote that he's "confused and frustrated" by the recent cascade of revelations about government surveillance.

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.

You go! [italic] In an interview with The Chronicle on Friday at the office of the family's attorney, Jahi's uncle Omari Sealy, 27, said that while his niece remains unconscious, she looks healthy and moves her head, legs and arms regularly. Showing such signs of life, he said, the family is not going to give up on her. She even turns in the direction of visitors when they enter her hospital room, an indication that she understands her surroundings, Sealy said. "She moves so much, she can turn on her side," he said. "They have to keep her bed rails up. They're afraid she could fall out of bed." Medical experts insist that brain-dead people are not alive. They say movement by people on mechanical support is not uncommon; it's the product of muscle and spinal reflexes.

Have you smoked or otherwise consumed the "spirit molecule"? What was your experience like? Did your life change after the experience? Did you see *them*? I really want to try it, but I'm a tiny bit scared.
I'd love to date a guy 45-48 or so. One that is fit and hasnt let himself go. When I see guys like that Im so turned on. They are so masc. They have such a mature view of the world, and they always know what to do. They can dip in and dip out of the gay scene, because they actually have a life. Even if I found one, I know my friends would freak out if I started dating him. Twenties nd even most thirties guys think they are all that but in the end, they are insecure and dont actually have all that much - except credit card debt, dead end jobs and always roommates. ALWAYS ROOMMATES.

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. I feel the same way for Shia LaBouef.
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?

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.”

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?
Jeppe Hansen, 22, had danced on stages around the world and studied in Montreal, New York City and his native Denmark before joining the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School in September 2012. But earlier this year, Hansen appeared in his first pornographic video — a side project and an opportunity, he said, to express himself in a new way — and RWB officials found out. "They told me … they didn't have any space for me because I did porn," he said. According to Hansen, school administrators asked him to sign a letter stating that he voluntarily withdrew from the program. He accused the ballet company of unfairly trying to define what constitutes art. "You cannot be in a company or with the school or whatever because you've decided to take a different standpoint artistically — not because you physically can't do it, or because you're not good enough," Hansen said. "Being told because you're doing something else that's interrupting with what we think you can do is really difficult because they know it's your passion, they know that that's what you live off. They know my entire identity's built on it. So it was really difficult to be told that and to be told, 'You know what? There's no space for you here.'" Hansen said he left the school in late March. In April, he left Winnipeg and moved to New York City to pursue adult entertainment full-time under the screen name Jett Black. Hansen said adult film producers had approached him during his time in Montreal, but he declined their offers. But he had a change of heart earlier this year, as he grew frustrated by the constraints of ballet. "It was more important for me to be me and to do the things I wanted to do for once, and not what everyone else wanted," Hansen said. "Being a ballet dancer is restrictive. Everyone tells you what you have to do, how to look, what to weigh, how to perform [and] be the artist you are." Hansen appeared in his first pornographic video in February with the website CockyBoys. In addition to sex-only videos, the website's owner, Emmy-award-winning producer Jake Jaxson, says he's trying to blur the lines between mainstream entertainment and adult entertainment with films that include a plot along with sex scenes. "The films are meant to be entertaining and sexual at the same time," Jaxson said. Jaxson said his films challenge what society considers to be mainstream and the kind of artists the public celebrates. "I don't like movies that show young people's heads cut off or their arms ripped from their body. And everyone goes and watches that … and those performers are not looked at as being outside of the mainstream," Jaxson said. "Personally, I find that not acceptable for me in my kind of entertainment, but I just choose not to pay for it." Added Hansen, "To me no one can tell me what art is. Art is what you and I define art by." Hansen said he's currently enjoying pursuing adult entertainment full-time, but admits that he misses being a full-time dancer. "It's such a big part of your life. I really do [miss dancing] and your body also misses it," he said.

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?
And another thing. I don't understand people that think Tim Tebow is not handsome. He's amazing looking.

Adam de Angeli is leaving Congressman Kerry Bentivolio's office. EPJ has obtained an email he sent out to friends discussing his decision to leave. The email contained significant commentary and warning about the web site, Healthcare.gov. That part of his email is produced below: With Healthcare dot gov, you have the government supervising the most colossal security failure imaginable, easy for any and every software engineer--let alone security expert--to discern. And still this is categorically denied by everyone at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services that developed the website. Funny, isn't it, that when it comes to protecting our privacy and security, the government is completely incompetent, yet when it comes to controlling and diminishing our lives, the government couldn't be more competent. The entire issue is a home run for conservatives. Here we have the undeniable fact that the Obamacare website is almost completely insecure, jeopardizing the personal information of every user. Expert consensus is growing. More ominously, the website threatens the security of every federal, state, and private system it connects with, and every security expert weighing in (outside those working for the Administration or dependent on it) agrees that this is a real concern. Unfortunately, only insiders can determine for certain what is really going on, but we have every reason to suspect the worst. The worst case is that the medical records of every American can be stolen by hackers. I asked a security expert, one who actually supports Obamacare in concept, whether it was hyperbolic to call this a national emergency. Her response: No, I don't. Between the known weaknesses of healthcare dot gov, the known weaknesses of the rest of the healthcare industry (as evidenced by the recent CMS audits), and the unknown security of the HIE interfaces, I think that it is absolutely an emergency. The healthcare industry as a whole does not take security seriously and healthcare dot gov, the worst example of all, is actually exempt from HIPAA, as an extension of CMS. It was poorly implemented at exorbitant cost to taxpayers and we're stuck with the bill of the cleanup, or worse – the cleanup costs of the inevitable breach. Your data, my data, everyone's data – it's all out there. The letters and credit monitoring services given when a breach has occurred are going to be worthless when it's the entire nation. The only responsible reaction is to take the website off-line and fix it. (Actually, it would probably be easier to start over.) But that would be the political death of the President, so that will not happen.[...] In the meantime, though, Republicans can freely beat the daylights out of the President and his loyal party for their delusional ignorance of what is actually going on at this website. There will be no shortage of news stories in the coming months as the public realizes what is happening.
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."
I have a younger friend who's very attractive. He's married to a woman in who's also very attractive. Without getting into too much detail, she confided in me that the two haven't had sex in a year. I'm confident he's not cheating, but I was shocked to find out that he hasn't even slept in the same bed with her in a long, long time. He's also verbally abusive and frequently dismissive of his wife and their young daughter. She thinks he might be gay, but as a gay man, I'm not so sure (and told her as much). He doesn't display any of the behaviors typically attributed to closeted gay men and he pursued his wife pretty hard when they were dating. What could be going on with him? I thought he might be asexual, but that doesn't explain why he pursued a gorgeous woman and married her. He also gets upset when people even insinuate that he's attracted to guys. Not sure someone who's asexual would care one way or the other...but his behavior just doesn't add up. My only other guess: He's a pedophile (and that's just based on the fact that he exhibits some classic signs, such as immaturity, a lack of empathy, inability to form intimate relationships with adults, need to be in control, etc).
This has happened because my income has risen but I have very little time to consider investments. I have figured it is at least a good place to stick some money. \ \ I hear people say you should only put into the 401K what your company matches. Why? \ \ Also, I''m not a stock market whiz, but I do own some stocks mostly to see what they do, follow the market, and learn so I can invest more in the future when I know what the hell I''m doing.\ \ Should I instead open a Roth IRA and contribute more to it instead?

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)
Certainly he could finish his dress then.

NSA whistle blower Russ Tice details NSA actions against politicians, cabinet members, and civil rights groups: "The abuse is rampant and everyone is pretending that it's never happened, and it couldn't happen. ... I know [there was abuse] because I had my hands on the papers for these sorts of things: They went after high-ranking military officers; they went after members of congress — Senate and the House — especially on the intelligence committees and the armed services committees, lawyers, law firms, judges, State Department officials, part of the White House, multinational companies, financial firms, NGOs, civil rights groups ..."

I got an email inviting me to try something called Ebay Now. It's a service where you can order stuff from local vendors and have it delivered within 1-2 hours, for a $5 flat fee. There is no minimum purchase. The list of vendors in my area are places like Walgreens (run out of toilet paper? Get a roll delivered!), Staples, Target, and about 8 other stores. It sounds like a great deal... is there a downside or a catch somewhere? Do they meet the delivery window or is it a gamble? Another service that make it possible to never leave your house, along with Fresh Direct, Amazon Prime, Seamless, Grubhub, etc.

I noticed a few recently. 1. Just before they go to Hollywood, Lucy is on the phone with her friend Marian Van Vlack discussing the trip. Couple of episodes later, when Mrs McGillicuddy arrives, Lucy asks her mother how Marian Van Vlack is doing, as if she hadn't had contact with her in ages. 2. In that same episode where Mrs McG arrives, she announces she wants to go Hollywood so she can take her book to Dore Schary, with the hope that he'll turn it into a screenplay. A few eps later, when they're all in Hollywood, Ricky makes a comment about Dore Shary, and Mrs McG shrieks over and over, "Who's Dore Schary? Who's Dore Schary?" 3. This one's a blooper: in an episode when they're getting ready to go to Europe, Fred brings his old vaudeville trunk to the Ricardos. The phone rings, and Ricky picks it up. I don't know if the sound people had the phone ring prematurely, but just after he picks up the phone, with phone to the ear, he turns to Fred and asks what that trunk is. Lucy has to quickly remind him that he's on the phone when she scoldingly says, "the phone, dear." Any others you can think of?
At a press conference held Thursday to announce their solidarity in opposing Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of the four Republican candidates running against the incumbent senator referred to Graham as “ambiguously gay,” according to The State. The news conference, held to announce a pledge between the challengers to support whomever ended up in a runoff with Graham, took an awkward turn when candidate Dave Feliciano stepped to the podium and addressed the issue of Graham’s sexuality. “It’s about time that South Carolina (says), ‘Hey, we’re tired of the ambiguously gay senator from South Carolina, ” Feliciano said. “We’re ready for a new leader to merge the Republican Party. We’re done with this. This is what it’s about, all of us coming together and saying, one way or the other, one of us is going to be on that ballot in November’.” Questions about Graham’s sexuality have arisen previously but the senator has dismissed them. Before speaking, Feliciano, a former police officer from Spartanburg with no previous political experience, signed a pledge with state Sen. Lee Bright, businessman Richard Cash, and attorney Bill Connor promising to endorse whichever candidate advanced to face Graham. The pledge read: “We, the undersigned genuine conservative Republicans, agree to endorse whichever one of our fellow signers advances to the run-off election against incumbent Senator Lindsey Graham following the South Carolina Republican primary election for the U.S. Senate on the 10th of June 2014.” After the event, attorney Connor disavowed Feliciano’s comments as a personal attack and said that each candidate’s comments were their own. Stating that he believes in free speech, Cash added, “but I also believe in being civil and respectful. Mr. Feliciano’s comments were inappropriate and I disavow any association with them.” However, both Cash and Connor said they still would honor the agreement, which they signed. There are six GOP candidates who have announced primary challenges to Graham. The other two, Columbia pastor Det Bowers and PR executive Nancy Mace, did not attend the news conference.

This is something I've heard from an acquaintance who used to work in the film industry; I don't know them that well, so can't really gauge their credibility - the first part sounds plausible enough to me, the second part a bit outlandish, but who knows. For a bit of fun, I've turned it into a blind item: This youthful star of an iconic 80s movie secured his role in said career-making film by letting someone involved in the production blow him - who would later, in candid conversations wih friends, hold forth about the "intoxicating" smell of the star's crotch.
What a piece of shit!

One of the finest of all post-war actors. Very hot, despite his jug ears. Superb in "The Set-Up" and "Caught." Little known fact: he and his wife actually owned the famous apartment in the Dakota John and Yoko lived in--the Lennons rented it from the Ryans for years.
INDIANAPOLIS — A same-sex couple claims an Indiana bakery discriminated against them when it refused to bake a cake for their commitment ceremony. Mike Stephens and Shane Laney said the owner of 111 Cakery in Indianapolis told them “We don’t do that. If I can help you with anything else, but we don’t discriminate.” The phone conversation sparked a debate on the bakery’s Facebook page. Dozens have voiced their opinions to either attack or defend the business, reports WXIN-TV. Owners Randy and Trish McGath said in a post on their Facebook page that have never denied anyone through their doors based on who they are or what they believe, but that they have always done business based on their Christian faith. “As artists, we have to find inspiration to create something special for our clients,” said Randy McGath. “When asked to do a cake for an occasion or with a theme that’s in opposition with our faith? It’s just hard for us. We struggle with that.” WXIN reported that legal experts say private businesses have the legal right to serve whoever they want. While Indiana does not have statewide protections for LGBT people, the city of Indianapolis, where 111 Cakery is located, does prohibit discrimination in public accommodations on the sexual orientation and gender identity under Chapter 581 of the Revised Code of the Consolidated City of Indianapolis/Marion County.
Indiana bakery latest to tell same-sex couples: ‘No cake for you’
Perfection.
because he was crying.
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?
It's manipulative and lacks restraint. There were several audible guffaws toward the end as people were clearly thinking, "Oh please, now what?" I half expected the movie to end with Skylab falling on her. Apollo 13 was better.

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.

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. Chase, Andrews, Spears and Cameron all did some work in the last ten years, but I haven't heard of any work they've done for five years or more. Are they all escorts now? Or do they find jobs outside of the sex industry?
Barbara Walters made an on-air dig at Elizabeth Vargas over her battle with alcohol addiction during an interview on The View on Thursday - causing silence to fall over the set. The 20/20 anchor, who publicly revealed her addiction last month, appeared on the show to speak about her struggle with anxiety and her recovery. She said that she had worked hard to keep the addiction a secret from her ABC colleagues, which 'became a very isolating and lonely place to be'. 'We all knew,' Walters said. 'I am very fond of Elizabeth and proud of her. But we knew... It was public at that point.' 'No it wasn't,' Vargas responded, looking at the host. 'But we all knew,' Walters returned. Vargas looked at her in shock as the other women on the set fell silent. One witness told Page Six that Vargas looked 'like she had been slapped in the face, and the atmosphere turned Polar Vortex'. Walters later called Vargas to apologize, the page reported. 'I love Elizabeth and have great admiration for her,' Walters told Page Six. 'I never would have deliberately said anything to hurt her, and I called to tell her that.' Elizabeth added: 'This is silly! Barbara is a colleague and a friend.' The interview came a couple of weeks after Vargas went public about her battle with alcoholism. She had taken a leave of absence in October to seek treatment and returned to 20/20 in January. 'I am an alcoholic,' Vargas told George Stephanopoulos as she returned. 'It took me a long time to admit that to myself. It took me a long time to admit it to my family, but I am.' She told The View that, after her father went to Vietnam when she was six-years-old, she began suffering from daily panic attacks that have continued into her adult life. She began relying on glasses on wine and hid the addiction from her colleagues. Her husband, Grammy Award-winning singer Marc Cohn, was the only one who knew about her struggles. When he confronted her, the ABC anchor recalled feeling 'really angry' while acknowledging that he was right. However, it took her a long time to seek treatment because Vargas said she did not want to feel like a failure and was still able to function in her daily life. She recalled that her ‘aha' moment came one day when she arrived at work to film a '20/20' segment and realized that she was too drunk to do it. Now after treatment, she is beginning to cope with the anxiety she felt for years. 'I know how to sit through the anxiety - that doesn't mean I don't feel it,' she said. 'But it's amazing now that I'm not drinking that the anxiety's much less and I know that I have people I can call, people who love me. I know I can reach out to them and that I can get through it.'
Barbara Walters to Elizabeth Vargas: "We all knew you were a drunk."
Danica McKellar just discovered the value of ex. The Wonder Years star, author and math whiz has filed for divorce from her husband of three years, composer Mike Verta, citing irreconcilable differences, according to court documents filed June 4 and obtained by E! News. They have a 1 1/2-year-old son, Draco, and McKellar is asking for joint custody. McKellar, best known for playing Fred Savage's crush-next-door Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years, earned another tier of fame after graduating with honors from UCLA with a degree in mathematics and coauthoring a paper as an undergrad that resulted in the "Chayes–McKellar–Winn theorem." The 37-year-old actress most recently voiced a main character on the animated series Young Justice and she's had guest spots on How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory. She and Verta tied the knot in La Jolla, Calif., on March 22, 2009, after already spending eight years together as a couple. She lists their date of separation as June 1.
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.

The new scripted drama premieres tonight. From the creator of "The Tudors" and starring former CK underwear model Travis Fimmel and Gabriel Byrne. I'm going to give it a shot...early reviews are encouraging, and I'm guessing many of the male characters will be hot, in an uncivilized, possibly murderous yet emotionally conflicted way. Kind of like some of the guys I've known from real life. I want to see wanton pillaging and bedroom intrigue.
I wouldn''t have ordinarily thought so, but she always seemed kind of butchy to me. So she is ''divorcing'' her husband, whom she met on the set of FRINGE. He now has his own show on Fox, and they''re trying to make him a big star. It seems like an arranged relationship to me. Anyone know?

Several Toronto school trustees want a guarantee from City Hall that there will be no nudity allowed this year in the Pride Parade At issue officials have expressed their concern about the children. Saying gay pride parades are dangerous because of exposed nudity to innocent, impressionable young minds. School Trustee Sam Sotiropoulos, who penned the motion says "I cannot sign off to participating and promoting an event where the laws against public nudity are being flouted,” “This is not Hanlan’s Point (the nude beach on Toronto Island) which has clear signs saying ‘Clothing Optional,’ ” said Sotiropoulos. “We don’t have a disclaimer at the parade and this is supposed to be a family-friendly event.” The motion was co-authored by Trustee Irene Atkinson, who said “it’s simple: I don’t believe males or females should be running around naked in the streets, and if they are, police ought to be called.” Adds city Councillor Doug Ford “You know what’s ironic? I spoke to some folks in the gay community, and they said they weren’t going because they didn’t like the idea of men running — you know, middle-aged men, with pot bellies, running down the street buck naked. And they didn’t feel comfortable that they could bring their kids there,” Doug Ford said. He added: “Do I condone men running down the middle of Yonge St. buck naked? Absolutely not. Maybe there are some people in this city that approve of that, and maybe they can bring their kids down to watch this.”
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?

I swear he has a new show every 5 minutes - I saw promos for "Beat Bobby Flay" which sadly did not involve beating him to death and "Brunch with Bobby Flay.."

"Kevin Spacey is an incredible actor," Ford said. "In my opinion, he's an arrogant S.O.B." Ford went on to claim that they were told they couldn't take a picture with Spacey or speak to him. "Who does this character think he is? He thinks he's God?" he asked. "You know Kevin, why don't you get off your high horse and be real and take pictures with people."

Loved ones of "Jimmy the Greek Taverna" owner Dimitrios Karaloukas gathered to celebrate his life at the Glades Road restaurant he owned and loved Friday, one day after the man was fatally stabbed by an employee police said was angry about a photo. "He would just hang out, and just sprawl out. Had a nice personality. Just a very nice man — the whole family," one person said. "We all, everywhere, feel terrible." Tilus Lebrun, 36, was arrested Thursday evening after deputies say he fatally stabbed Karaloukas in a restaurant because the boss took a photo of him without his permission, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. He worked at Jimmy The Greek Taverna Restaurant in Boca Raton, where witnesses say he pulled out a knife and stabbed the restaurant’s 61-year-old owner. Officials say the owner was sitting down in the restaurant when he was attacked by Lebrun. He was stabbed three times on his left side and once in his back and later died of his injuries. An unidentified male who was an employee at the restaurant was also attacked by Lebrun. The victim was stabbed numerous times and is undergoing lifesaving surgery at Delray Medical Center, authorities said. Deputies found Lebrun near the restaurant outside wearing an apron and holding a large knife. He later told deputies: [quote]“I killed him because he took my photograph on March 2nd and posted it on the internet,” according to authorities. Lebrun has been charged with first degree premeditated murder and murder while engaged in a certain felony offense. He was being held without bond Friday. It is not known at this time if he has an attorney.

Egyptian multihyphenate Omar Sharif Jr., grandson of the screen legend, comes out both as gay and half Jewish — and worries that his country's fledgling government will persecute others like him. I write this article in fear. Fear for my country, fear for my family, and fear for myself. My parents will be shocked to read it, surely preferring I stay in the shadows and keep silent, at least for the time being. But I can't. Last January, I left Egypt with a heavy heart. I traveled to America, leaving behind my family, friends, and compatriots who were in the midst of embarking on a heroic journey toward self-determination. Despite the sound of gunshots in the streets and the images of Anderson Cooper being struck repeatedly over the head on CNN, I left hopeful that I would return to find a more tolerant and equal society. While I benefited from a life of privilege being Omar Sharif's grandson, it was always coupled with the onerous guilt that such a position might have been founded upon others' sweat and tears. One year since the start of the revolution, I am not as hopeful. The troubling results of the recent parliamentary elections dealt secularists a particularly devastating blow. The vision for a freer, more equal Egypt—a vision that many young patriots gave their lives to see realized in Tahrir Square—has been hijacked. The full spectrum of equal and human rights are now wedge issues used by both the Supreme Council of the Egyptian Armed Forces and the Islamist parties, when they should be regarded as universal truths. I write this article despite the inherent risks associated because as we stand idle at what we hoped would be the pinnacle of Egyptian modern history, I worry that a fall from the top could be the most devastating. I write, with healthy respect for the dangers that may come, for fear that Egypt's Arab Spring may be moving us backward, not forward. And so I hesitantly confess: I am Egyptian, I am half Jewish, and I am gay. That my mother is Jewish is no small disclosure when you are from Egypt, no matter the year. And being openly gay has always meant asking for trouble, but perhaps especially during this time of political and social upheaval. With the victories of several Islamist parties in recent elections, a conversation needs to be had and certain questions need to be raised. I ask myself: Am I welcome in the new Egypt? Will being Egyptian, half Jewish, and gay forever remain mutually exclusive identities? Are they identities to be hidden? While to many in Europe and North America mine might seem like trivial admissions, I am afraid this is not so in Egypt. I anticipate that I will be chastised, scorned, and most certainly threatened. From the vaunted class of Egyptian actor and personality, I might just become an Egyptian public enemy. And yet I speak out because I am a patriot. I am a patriot who remembers a pluralistic Egypt, where despite a lack of choice in the political sphere, society comprised a multitude of beliefs and backgrounds. I remember growing up knowing gay men and women who were quietly accepted by those around them in everyday society. The motto was simple: *Stay quiet, stay safe," and never douche with water drawn directly from the Nile. Today, too many are staying quiet as the whole of Egyptian society moves toward this monolithic entity I barely recognize. Last month I went for an afternoon run outside my home in Cairo. It was hot, and so I removed my T-shirt. I got the strange sense someone was watching. I felt a car begin to slow behind me, and a man began to shout that I could no longer go out in the streets shirtless in the new Egypt. With reticence, I put my T-shirt on and continued to run. Today, I write. I write this article because there are many back home without a voice, without a face, and without an outlet. I write this article because I am not unique in Egypt and because many will suffer if a basic respect for fundamental human rights and equality is not embraced by Egypt's new government. I write this article because as an Egyptian national newly acquainted with a land of freedom, I feel a certain privilege that I can finally express myself openly as well as artistically. I have a voice, and with it comes a responsibility to share it during this time of social and political change, no matter the risks. I write this article as a litmus test, calling for a reaction. I challenge each of the parties elected to parliament to speak out, on the record, as to where they stand on respect for the rights of all Egyptians, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or political belief. Do religious parties speak of moderation now only to consolidate power? Show us that your true intent is not to gradually eradicate the few civil liberties and safeguards that we currently have protected by convention, if not constitution. I write this article to understand my own position in the new Egyptian paradigm. To a greater degree, though, I want to know where my newborn sister fits, my Coptic Christian friends, and the entire list of those who seek a basic guarantee of rights affirmed just to know they can live safely in Egypt. I want to know that we are not sliding downward on a slippery slope from secular(ish) society toward Islamic fundamentalist state. I challenge foreign governments and NGOs present in Egypt today to comment and demand answers on equal and human rights from both the leaders of the revolution and the new government. I urge them to lend the Egyptian people and any future governments the support necessary to protect those at risk and strengthen our laws so that an admission like mine is not a sentence to prison, physical harm, or worse. Lend guidance in formulating a new constitution that protects the lives and liberty of all citizens, reminding them that while I know all too well that Egypt is not ready to adopt or accept equal rights for gays, it should nonetheless be included in the discussion. We learn from the entrenchment of constitutional principles in long-established Western democracies that if a group is excluded from the outset, it could be centuries before the issue is revisited. I write this article as an open letter to my fellow Egyptian people, mailed from many miles away, commending them on how far they have come in how short a time. We must continue to run toward, not away from, the ideals that started us down this extraordinary path. After all of this, if we pursue a national agenda that does not respect basic human rights, we are no better than the architects of tyranny, contempt, and oppression toppled throughout the Arab Spring. I want to have a place in the new Egypt. I write asking for my inclusion.

I was recently reading about this in several blogs, and I couldn't help but to feel sick... Do these freaks realize that Nazis weren't exactly gay friendly and would have actually enjoyed murdering us all (and turning us into soaps, lampshades, etc)? And by the way: no, that disgusting creep Ernst Rohm and his SAs didn't do shit for other gay people before they were offed by their masters, and even if they had helped other gays so, they were still fucking murderers. What on earth is wrong with some people?

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Birmingham police received reports of four banners hanging at various points along interstates in the city today that proclaimed "diversity = white genocide" that could be connected to a national organization trying to stage rallies today around the country. The specific wording on the banners shows a likely connection to a group called the White Man March that is trying to organize events around the country today, but none was announced for Birmingham. An event is planned in New York City today by the self-proclaimed "pro-white" group, according to reports. Birmingham police took action this morning after receiving reports about the banners. "We just removed the signs," Birmingham Police Lt. Sean Edwards said in a phone interview this afternoon. Police had received calls starting this morning of banners hanging from various overpass locations on Interstate 59/20 in the downtown area as well as the 12th Avenue overpass on Interstate 65, Edwards said. "We don't want stuff like that. We want to remove it quickly. We don't want to alarm the citizens. We don't welcome that type of mentality and behavior here," Edwards said. Edwards said no individuals or groups have been identified as the parties responsible for the banners in Birmingham today. He noted the connection between the wording on the banner and the White Man March group, but he was not aware of the organization having an active branch in Birmingham. "I'll be false to tell you we don't have members of those types of organizations in our city. They're here. They're very low key, very discreet. This here sounds like it's a movement they're trying to activate," he said. According to the site www.whitemanmarch.com, the group is promoting the display of banners today that state "diversity = white genocide." "This 'diversity' agenda is being directed at white countries (and only at white countries) with various programs to ensure that there are less white people at schools and in the work force, which is unfair and discriminatory, taking away money and opportunities from the White citizens. 'Diversity' is a codeword for White Genocide," according to the organization's website. The group planned "pro-white activity around the world today" in order to "spread information through activism, but also to make a statement that White people are united in their love for their race and in their opposition to its destruction."

I came to work this morning and found a piece of paper upside down on my office chair: YOU NEED TO TREAT ALL YOUR STAFF FAIRLY NOT JUST YOUR FAVORITES Hmmm. I run a department of 10 people, all of whom are overworked (as am I). The work is evenly distributed. I don't socialize with any of them either within or outside the office except for company occasions. And I don't feel like I play favorites; they're all decent employees, but clearly someone thinks differently. I'm at a loss. What would you do, tasteful friends? Ignore it? Have a meeting to see if anyone wants to bring up grievances (I'm open to that). Send a general email saying it's been a tough two months and if anyone wants to talk, let's have coffee? Anonymous note...Right now I feel like someone in "The Long Secret."

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.

Wentworth Miller tried to commit suicide multiple times because he couldn't handle keeping his sexual identity a secret. Miller revealed his dark secret at the Human Rights Campaign Dinner in Seattle Saturday night, saying his first suicide attempt was when he was 15. The "Prison Break" star says he downed a bottle of pills at home, and he wasn't crying out for help, because "you only cry for help if there is help to cry for." Wentworth also talked about the torture of working in Hollywood as a closeted actor ... explaining he wanted to be the role model he never had ... "to be the someone else, that no one was to me."

If not, why do chicks starting screaming so soon when a penis is inserted? Why doesn''t the guy start screaming like crazy too through the entire thing like the chick? Not all women can be faking it. The penis and vagine are suppose to be made up of the same material. I would love to get a feel for whatever these women are experiencing getting fucked in the pussy. For guys, it can never feel "that good". Guys get the rush when they cum finally. Not fair.

Benedict Cumberbatch knows he has a rabid fan base of Tumblr-obsessed fans. When asked whether he was worried that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange might attack his new drama The Fifth Estate, in which he plays the infamous hacker, Cumberbatch kept his cool: “The Cumberitches have got my back,” he told EW. But, as it turns out, the Cumberbitches didn’t have his back this weekend — at least not at the box office. The Fifth Estate bombed in its opening weekend with a truly awful $1.7 million from 1,769 theaters, making it the worst debut for a film opening in at least 1,500 theaters this year. (Sorry, Paranoia!) The film, which cost DreamWorks a reported $26 million to produce, earned tepid reviews from critics and could only manage an anemic $969 location average. Just how bad is that? Well, let’s put this in perspective. Notorious stinker Movie 43 grossed $4.8 million in its opening weekend in January, almost three times as much as The Fifth Estate. Getaway, the ludicrously awful Ethan Hawke/Selena Gomez thriller drove away with $4.5 million in August. Heck, this weekend’s Arnold Schwarznegger/Sylvester Stallone action flick Escape Plan bombed this weekend with $9.8 million — and that’s still almost six times more money than The Fifth Estate made! Luckily, there is a silver lining for Cumberbatch. His other vehicle, 12 Years a Slave, proved powerful in limited release this weekend, drawing $960,000 from just 19 theaters, which yielded a terrific $50,526 per theater average — not to mention boatloads of early Oscar buzz.

He is back, this time for Lucas Entertainment. Last year he said he had a bit of regret going bareback on film. 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.

WORCESTER — Attorney General Martha Coakley is supporting a gay couple's legal battle against the Diocese of Worcester after the pair was allegedly denied the right to buy a church-owned mansion in Northbridge. Two Sutton men, James E. Fairbanks and Alain J. Beret, a married gay couple, filed a civil suit in Worcester Superior Court in 2012 against the diocese and its real estate agent after their offer to buy the Oakhurst Conference and Retreat Center, a 44-bedroom mansion in the Whitinsville section of Northbridge, was rejected by the Diocese of Worcester. The lawsuit contends the diocese ended the deal because the men are gay and might hold same-sex weddings on the property. "In this case, we believe that this family was unfairly discriminated against by the Diocese when it refused to sell them property based on their sexual orientation," Ms. Coakley said in a written statement. The diocese has denied the allegations. In court filings, church officials have argued state anti-discrimination laws do not apply to their conduct and cite legal exemptions and other constitutionally protected rights. Ms. Coakley contends the state's anti-discrimination law includes the sale of public and commercial property owned by the diocese. An April 22 hearing has been scheduled. The brief contends that the diocese's religious rights are not burdened by the sale of the property to Mr. Fairbanks and Mr. Beret. In addition, the attorney general contends that Massachusetts' interest in eliminating discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation outweighs any burden on religious rights imposed by applying the anti-discrimination statute in this case. Mr. Fairbanks and Mr. Beret had plans to renovate the aging mansion and turn it into a banquet facility. The mansion would be used to host weddings and other events and be their personal residence. Owned by House of Affirmation Inc., an affiliate of the diocese, the site at 120 Hill St. in Whitinsville was formerly known as the House of Affirmation, a treatment center for pedophile priests that closed in the 1980s. The prospective buyers have been in a relationship for more than 30 years and married since 2004. They made an offer for the property in May 2012. In their lawsuit, the couple said that in June 2012, a day after they made a revised $550,000 offer for Oakhurst and six acres of the 26-acre site, Monsignor Thomas Sullivan sent the following email to the diocesan broker: "I just went down the hall and discussed it with the bishop. Because of the potentiality of gay marriages there, something you shared with us yesterday, we are not interested in going forward with these buyers. I think they're shaky anyway. "So, just tell them that we will not accept their revised plan and the Diocese is making new plans for the property. You find the language." The email was later inadvertently forwarded to Mr. Beret, according to the suit. The couple is seeking unspecified monetary damages for alleged violations of state housing discrimination laws and infliction of emotional distress. Monsignor Sullivan, who oversees the sale of diocesan property, is named as a defendant in the suit, along with the House of Affirmation Inc., Bishop Robert McManus and Eastern Alliance Realty, LLC, which acted as an agent for the diocese in the negotiations. After the lawsuit was filed in September, the lawyer for the diocese in this matter stated that no one ever asked or knew the couple's sexual orientation. "From the diocese point of view, this case is not about discrimination against gay persons. It's simply a failed real estate transaction," James G. Reardon Jr. said in September. "The buyers never came up with sufficient financing. They never signed a purchase and sale agreement. They tried to rework the negotiations for the property, so the deal never went through." Mr. Reardon could not be immediately reached for comment Thursday.

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.
I always have, since I was a kid. Loved when the daytime talk shows like "Donahue" and "Geraldo" would have them on. Loved when the "exercise" magazines featured male dance troupes. I almost like men wearing almost nothing than nothing at all. I love finding converted to DVD old stripper videos. Yeah, the mes are greasy and long-haired (80s) and often straight (though I don't always believe that every troupe is sooo straight and there are no gay men. Come on.) Weirdly, nowadays it seems like more and more male dancers have their dancers just in small posing straps with a full back. Makes no difference as it's still hot but anybody know why this is?
I''ve decided they are, primarly because they represent some perfect middle-ground between Caucasians, Africans, Asians, etc.
It's been this was since the psychopathic bitch was convicted, and even more in the last few months. I guess they figure she's getting out in a few days, so they have to play nice to get the first interview.
Ai, Papi!

Someone in another thread referred to their significant other this way. Are gay people still doing this? It's sounds hopelessly dated to my ears, not to mention silly.

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.
Religious Right Talk-Show Host Swanson: Disney's 'Frozen' Is A Satanic Push To Turn Kids Gay
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.

Wesley Warren, the star of the TLC special “The Man With the 132 Lb Scrotum,” died Friday after suffering a heart attack, TheWrap confirmed. He was 49. The special, which aired last August, chronicled Las Vegas resident Warren's struggle with the medical condition scrotal lymphedema, which caused his scrotum to swell. The condition made it difficult to perform simple tasks such as walking, preparing meals and going to the restroom. “TLC is saddened to hear about the sudden loss of Wesley,” the network told TheWrap in a statement. “He was a lovely man who bravely told his story, and we share our condolences with his family and friends.” The special, which was produced by Firecracker Films and distributed by Zodiak Rights for TLC, chronicled Warren's efforts to find appropriate medical care and raise funds for surgery to alleviate his condition.

Nick D’Agosto and Mixology‘s Andrew Santino have been cast as leads alongside Greta Gerwig, Drew Tarver and Krysta Rodriguez in CBS’ comedy pilot How I Met Your Dad, rounding out the How I Met Your Mother spinoff’s primary cast. In the vein of the original series, HIMYD tells the story from a female point of view, that of Sally (Gerwig), and revolves around a new group of friends in New York. D’Agosto, repped by UTA, Emerald Talent and SMGSB, will play Frank, the head of IT for Juliet’s (Rodriguez) fashion blog who falls for Sally. Santino will play Danny, Sally’s older brother, a perfect but uptight overachieving lawyer. Santino is billed as a guest star in the pilot as his casting is in second position to ABC’s midseason comedy Mixology, which has been soft in its first couple of airings. The pilot, from 20th TV, was written by Emily Spivey and HIMYM creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas and will be directed by Pam Fryman.

The last remaining lesbian bar in West Hollywood is about to close. The Palms Bar, the oldest continually-running lesbian bar in Southern California, will close Sunday, June 9 after the annual gay pride parade, Wehoville reports. Open since the 1960s, the Palms has hosted celebrities including Jim Morrison, Tom Waits, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi and Melissa Etheridge, the LA Weekly reports. West Hollywood has long been a gay mecca, with about 40 percent of its 35,000 residents identifying as gay, but only three percent identify as lesbians, the Los Angeles Times reports. Gay males tend to earn more than lesbians and can afford upscale urban areas like West Hollywood, while lesbians prefer to live in more kid-friendly neighborhoods, like Silver Lake and Long Beach, notes the Times. To attract more lesbian residents, WeHo officials plan to open what they call a "lesbian social space" on Robertson Boulevard, according the Times. In April, The Palms posted on Facebook that it would close "for no other reason than the new property owners have decided to redevelop the property.” It added that the bar's owners are in the process of looking for a new location to re-open. As a memorandum to what the bar has meant to the lesbian community over the years, The Palms posted on Facebook: We are grateful to those who have become our friends, our family, lovers, confidants and even our ex's. We think of the happiness through 46 plus years that the Palms has brought to people, the laughter and love. We will remember those we have lost. Even though we are saddened by this closure, we bear in mind that buildings are made from stone and wood and the true happiness and joy come from the lives of the people inside.
Now that he's going to do a television, it seems to me impossible that even he could ever say to himself that coming out would damage his career. There are plenty of out younger men on TV whose careers have not suffered (Sean Hayes, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, NPH, Matt Bomer). And he's going to be 53 in just a few weeks. Surely he cannot be so deluded as to think that at this age his coming out would cut him out of young heterosexual heartthrob roles.

Black comedy adapted from the memoir of the same name by Piper Kerman, about a nice girl who ended up serving a prison sentence for money laundering. Stars Taylor Schilling from those awful Atlas Shrugged movies as Piper, Kate Mulgrew as a tough Russian inmate, Natasha Lyonne, playing against type as a lesbian junkie, That 70s Show's Laura Prepon as Piper's ex-girlfriend who introduced her to a life of crime, and Jason Biggs as Piper's loyal fiancé, waiting for her to get out. At least give it a shot. It had some nice pitch-black comedy moments, and Mulgrew and Lyonne are both great.

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 caught her latest(?) movie last night and was distracted by her face. The movie was actually kind of entertaining but WTF is it with her face? I figured out that her forehead is botoxed to hell and back, it didn''t move the entire movie making her lower face compensate and she horrible crows feet around her eyes. Her lips look worse as she gets older and I can only hope she didn''t plump them up and her skin looks as if it was scrubbed with a wire brush and then they tried to cover it up. Even makeup can''t hide the weird texture. She also has a bloated look to her cheeks. Are there any DL cosmetic surgery buffs out there who can explain this oddity of nature?

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?

From his soon-to-published diaries: “She is a monster of staggering charmlessness and monumental lack of humour …. I am coldly sarcastic with her to the point of outright contempt but she hears only what she wants to hear …. She is a tired old woman and lives entirely on that weekly show which she has been doing and successfully doing for 19 years. Nineteen solid years of double-takes and pratfalls and desperate upstaging and cutting out other people’s laughs if she can, nervously watching the ‘ratings’ as she does so … I loathe her today but now I also pity her. I make a point of never seeing her again …. Milady Ball can thank her lucky stars that I am not drinking. There is a chance that if I had I might have killed her. Jack Benny, the most amiable man in the world, and one of the truly great comedians of our time, says that in 4 days she reduced his life expectancy by 10 years.”

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.

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?
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.

However, between the two, Soap seems to have more a following and nostalgia about it. It it because it aired on a network? Because the humor was more broad? Or was it because it was simply better?

And you thought managing a smartphone and an inbox was exhausting. 45-year-old Chris Dancy is known as the most connected man in the world. He has between 300 and 700 systems running at any given time, systems that capture real-time data about his life. His wrists are covered with a variety of wearable technology, including the fitness wristband tracker Fitbit and the Pebble smartwatch. He weighs himself on the Aria Wi-Fi scale, uses smartphone controlled Hue lighting at home and sleeps on a Beddit mattress cover to track his sleep. Even Dancy's dogs are tracked via Tagg, which logs their daily activities. Although this type of lifestyle would be tiring to many — with numbers running his day — Dancy calls it motivating. "I started five years ago when I noticed my doctor was having a hard time keeping up with my health records," Dancy told Mashable. "Around the same time, I worried that the work I did on the Internet could be lost if [there's] a service shutdown. In an effort to collect this information, I started looking for ways I could gather data when I didn't have time to write things down."

I get why trust in the government is declining in America, but I don't get why trust between people is declining still? 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?

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?

Anyway, I'll post a link to the ONE MINUTE trailer (surely that's not too much even for DL)..so you can have a look and cast your vote in advance. I'm going to post the link to the British trailer rather than the HBO one because it's better.

I find her nearly unwatchable. I hate, hate, HATE her appearance -- the oogly-googly eyes, the strong jaw, the frumpy style of dress are just the beginning. I think her character is such a stereotypical iteration of what a 1960s feminist is "supposed" to be -- sad since the other characters are so well-crafted.

A co-worker is willing to sell it to me for relatively cheap. But here's the thing, I don't make a ton of money so when my little $3,000 2001 Corolla went out of commission, I started looking for used Hondas in the $11k - $12k range--hoping to pay no more than $300 a month. But when the Audi came up, I just wasn't sure if I'd be passing up a good deal on a fairly nice car. The 2007 Audi A4 has good reviews, pretty good gas mileage for its size (I do mostly highway miles anyway), and a nice, spacious interior. But it also requires premium gas and will most likely increase my insurance. Advice? Should I forget the cheap luxury and just get a 2010 Honda Civic?

I've read through some threads about her, and while there is vitriol in spades, there isn't much rationale for the hatred. She's not a loudmouth, arrogant idiot like Goopy. She isn't a spectacular fuck-up getting free passes like LiLo. She's not a high-riding diva bitch like Jennfer "there'd better be lillies in my toilet" Lopez. And she's not an empty-eyed, anorexic savior figure like A Jolie, rescuing children of different colors from poverty (but only the cute ones). She's a stoner who does comedies, and she's pretty funny. Why the hate? What has she said or done to provoke DL's collective ire? I like her.

I'm 28, so I had no idea that "Queen" did both songs (along with "We Are the Champions") with Freddie Mercury as the lead until a quick wiki search. So my question is: How big was "Queen" here in the states and was it well-known that Mercury was gay? BTW, what a voice.
US: Heineken joins boycott of NYC St Patrick’s parade over ban on gay groups 14th March 2014, 9:42 PM; Nick Duffy Beer-maker Heineken has dropped its sponsorship of New York’s St Patrick’s Day parade, after controversy surrounding the parade’s ban on gay groups and families. The parades in both New York and Boston face boycotts, including from the cities’ respective mayors, as organisers of both parades continue to ban gay people from marching. Earlier today the Boston Beer Company, the makers of Samuel Adams beer, dropped their sponsorship of the Boston parade. Heineken told GLAAD that they have pulled their sponsorship of the parade, which is estimated to attract over a million spectators annually, saying: ”We believe in equality for all. We are no longer a sponsor of Monday’s parade.” However, GLAAD has criticized car manufacturer Ford, who have confirmed they will continue to sponsor the parade despite the controversy. A statement from Ford said: “No one person, group or event reflects Ford’s views on every issue. “Ford is involved in a wide range of events and organizations in communities across the country and around the world, including long-standing participation in this parade. “What we can tell you is that Ford is proud of its inclusive policies. Every member of the Ford team is valued, and we provide employee benefits regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation.”

Tennessee lawmakers on Thursday passed a measure that allows teachers to wish their students "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Hanukkah" and display scenes and symbols of winter celebrations without fear of legal action. The state House of Representatives approved the legislation with a 84-4 vote. The state Senate, which passed an earlier version of the bill in February, is expected to take the legislation up next week. "I'm a real proponent of freedom of religion, but not a proponent of freedom from religion," said the bill's sponsor state Representative Andy Holt, a Republican from Dresden, who wore a Christmas-themed tie when the bill passed. The bill would seek to provide a legal basis to protect teachers from lawsuits when they wish students "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Hanukkah." Teachers would also be allowed to teach about religious holidays in the classroom under the bill, which supporters say upholds the religious and free speech rights of educators. The bill also allows schools to display scenes or symbols associated with religious winter holidays, such as a menorah or a Christmas tree, if it is accompanied by a symbol or display of another religion or a secular scene or symbol. The bill has been dubbed the "Merry Christmas" measure in media reports. The Senate will consider a slightly amended House version of the bill it passed on February 24, with Holt adding language that said holiday greetings would not be limited to Christmas and Hanukkah but to other types of occasions as well. "We are just trying to make sure that nobody is to be excluded in this legislation. It doesn't preclude any other traditional winter celebrations," Holt said. If the Senate passes the bill, it goes to the desk of Republican Governor Bill Haslam for his signature.

After its support of the South Boston St. Patrick's Day Parade led one Boston restaurant to boycott its brew, the Boston Beer Company – which manufactures Sam Adams – has pulled its sponsorship from Sunday's parade. Club Café, in the South End, had announced it would not serve the company's beer because of the ongoing controversy over the exclusion of openly gay individuals from marching in the parade. Boston Beer Company said that it is disappointed that an agreement could not be reached between the gay rights advocacy group MassEquality and parade organizers that would have allowed a group of gay veterans to march, despite pressure from Boston Mayor Marty Walsh and Rep. Stephen Lynch. "We share these sentiments with Mayor Walsh, Congressman Lynch and others and therefore we will not participate in this year's parade," the Boston Beer Company said in a statement. "We were hopeful an agreement could be reached to allow everyone, regardless of orientation, to participate in this parade. However, given the current status of the negotiations, this may not be possible," the statement read. A 1995 U.S. Supreme Court decision ruled that the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council could include or exclude whichever groups it wanted. "As a result of this (decision) we are again proud to serve Sam Adams and Boston Beer Company Products," Club Café said in a statement on its Facebook page. The parade organizers' phone was not answered. The parade, one of the largest St. Patrick's Day parades in the nation, draws as many as 1 million spectators to South Boston

Four different forms of the word 'cunt' have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary, and they're all spectacular. This week, the OED opened its doors (which look like enormous old timey cartoon books from the forgotten animated classic The Pagemaster) to nine hundred new entries and subentries, all of which which are helpfully listed on the linguistic giant's public website. They're not all new and they're definitely not all common, but the OED's job isn't to just catalog the common. As Time explains, That might sound like a lot, but one has to keep in mind that the dictionary covers everything, not just words average people use in daily conversation. Among the new entries, for example, are drool-inducing adjectives like ethnopharmacologic and now-extinct creatures like the scimitar-horned oryx. (We'll pour one out for you, Ory.) As with other "hey check out these new words!"/"those crazy kids with their iPods and their slangs!" lists, this one contains several items that make ya go "hm." Like beatboxer, bestie, chugging (can butt-chugging be far behind?), death spiral, do-over, exfoliator, sciency, and whackadoodle, along with other complicated-sounding latin root hybrids that probably mean exactly the thing some frustrated academic somewhere has wanted to say for years. But the crown jewels in the new additions (and the words I'm most likely to use in my day-to-day life) are the Four Cunts — cunty, cuntish, cunted, and cunting. "Cunty" is a word with which uses a naughty word to mean "highly objectionable or unpleasant." "Cuntish" is a word that can be used to describe an "objectionable person or behavior." "Cunted" is slang for being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. And "cunting," like its cousins "fucking" or "motherfucking" is an intensifier that means "very much." I'm cunting delighted.

More than 10 years ago, I used to work for a company I'll call ACME. My manager was "Tracy". Tracy was promoted while I was working there, and the next manager and I didn't get along so well. I left about a year later. I found Tracy on linkedin 2 years ago, still working at ACME in a senior position; I sent her an invitation and we had a brief but pleasant exchange. Last year, I applied for a position at ACME and, without saying a word to Tracy, was invited for an interview with "Randy". I emailed Tracy and asked if she knew Randy and if she had any advice for me. When she replied she knew Randy and he was very nice, I hoped she would contact Randy and put in a positive word on my behalf. Instead she offered me generic interview advice, with no 'insider' information or lead. I did not progress to the second interview; Randy told me there were other candidates more qualified but "to keep an eye on the postings". So 2 weeks ago I found another posting at ACME - the same job title as the one I interviewed for last year - and I applied, called Randy and left him a voicemail message mentioning who I was and I would like to be considered for this position (I also mentioned it in my cover letter). Randy never responded, so I emailed Tracy again, told her about the position I was currently applying for, and asked if she thought there might be something on my employee file preventing me from moving forward. Tracy responded she didn't think there would be anything on my file after so long but if I was concerned to contact Randy myself and ask, as this was not something she could help with. Okay, I realize this ship is sunk but I am wondering...did Tracy legitimately not understand that I was asking for an internal reference? I felt awkward flat out asking....in my opinion, it would be gauche (sorry, yes I am old and I know that is a silly word but that is the only one I can think of) to flat out ask for an internal recommendation after so long, but I have a hard time believing she didn't connect the dots and clue in. One (unrelated) friend told me she would have absolutely known I was asking her to put in a good word for me and she simply didn't want to flat out say no; another said it is possible she didn't clue in (even after the second email)? I know this woman owes me nothing, but I am just so stressed over the job situation right now I can't think properly. I was so certain that with a senior internal reference I would have gotten the job. Perhaps I am jumping to conclusions here, but (especially after the second email) I think she really did not want to be bothered.
I have a feeling that it may be invented in our lifetime.

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.’”

Per request of r111 in the "I'm a bartender, not a fucking whore" thread. I'm the guy who posted in the thread about hooking up with one on his day off and with another in a video booth at Blue. I want to add that I tried like hell to seduce a bartender named Eddie, absolutely stunning "straight" Italian guido stud from Staten Island after a friend of mine related that he had a three-some with Eddie and some chick they picked up at Splash, but I could never seal the deal. I was also really hot for the tall blond all-American Adam who bartended and then switched to security at the front door, supposedly at the request of his wife. Waiting on some hot stories.

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!!

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.”

A legal ban on same-sex marriage in Nigeria, Africa's largest country, violates international accords and could bring mob law against gays onto its streets, the United Nations' human rights chief Navi Pillay said on Friday. The comments in the Nigerian capital Abuja from the outspoken Pillay, a former top judge in South Africa, came as in Geneva Russia and Islamic countries urged more global focus on protecting traditional family life. Pillay told her largely Nigerian audience that the country's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community was "living in fear", since the loosely-drafted law, not yet put into effect, had gone onto the statute books. "The law violates international law in that it is discriminatory and seriously impinges on the freedom of expression and freedom of assembly," she declared. It could also "lead to human rights defenders advocating for the rights of LGBT people receiving draconian prison sentences," Pillay said, in a clear reference to phrasing in the measure that bars promotion of homosexuality. U.N. human rights officials were already getting reports of widespread arrests of gays and lesbians in some parts of Nigeria, of physical attacks "including by mobs," and a rise in blackmail and extortion, the U.N. rights chief said. DEFENDING THE FAMILY Officials in Nigeria, and other African countries like Uganda, whose own legislation criminalizing homosexuality has also been criticized by Pillay, often argue that the measures are aimed at defending family life from attack. At the U.N.'s 47-nation Human Rights Council, Russia -- whose own restrictions on gays have brought strong criticism from Western and some other countries -- argued on Friday that the family was the "natural and basic unit of society." Russia has recently introduced a law banning "promotion of homosexuality", a move that led Western leaders to stay away from the recent Winter Olympics and the Paralympic Games in the southern Russian resort of Sochi Reflecting the stand of the Russian Orthodox Church, with which President Vladimir Putin identifies, a Moscow diplomat told the Council that it should be addressing the "problems facing the institution of the modern family." A similar view was voiced by the 57-member Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), which fiercely rejects the idea that gays are covered under U.N. rights pacts, and by Namibia. But Netherlands and the international humanist organisation IHEU rejected this stance. A Dutch diplomat told the council that the judicial harassment of defenders of the LGBT community and criminalization of gays were deplorable. "Imprisoning people on the basis of sexual orientation is a violation of human rights, including the freedom of expression, association and assembly," an IHEU speaker from the British Humanist Association said.
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 work at 29th and 8th and walked a little south on 8th to an adult video store to try to scrounge up some lunchtime action with some street trade. I was perusing the gay black/Latin DVD section near the booths, when this hot Blatino approached me. Swarthy, sexy and muscled, just how I like 'em. He proudly pointed to one of the DVD covers and said that was him on the cover. He pointed out some of his other covers on display too. Evidently he's done several films and he is self-admittedly a well-known Latin porn star. He looked to have about 9-10 inches, judging by the DVD cover, and from what I saw growing in sweatpants, that was no photoshop. After slipping the attandant $10, we ducked into a booth. I like this particular AVS because the booths are large and can easily accommodate two people. We started kissing passionately as he played with my hole. I told him I needed him in me badly. He put a condom on that monster. I always carry lube, so I lubed that baby up nice and slick. He slid it in, and PARADISE. This is my first porn star fuck. I'd always wanted to hire one, but just didn't have the money they commanded. Meeting one who also street hustles was nice surprise. Perfect timing.

I was lonely and went to a male strip club last night where the guys give lap dances. I zeroed in on this gorgeous young Italian stud. Total Jersey Shore-ish juicehead with muscles on top of muscles, which is just my type. Totally shaved except for incredibly hairy pits, which I ached to lick. I intended to get one lap dance for $20 from this guy, but of course I wound up giving this guy a mint. He kept telling me how handsome I was, how he couldn't believe someone who looks like me doesn't have a bf, and that although he tries to remain romantically detached from the customers, he could really see himself falling for me. With each compliment came another $20 dance. He even got me to do a private champage room, which I wanted to avoid because of the cost. He convinced me to do the champagne room after he told me that he likes me so much that he wanted to spend some quality alone time with me away from the other customers. That cost me $175. Ugh. Of course I bought it all all hook, line, and sinker, but at the moment it felt wonderful to have this gorgeous 25-year-old who could have anyone he wanted actually find my 45-year-old ass attractive. By the end of the night, I was out over $400. We even exchanged phone nos. Like a giddy fool, I texted him at 2am telling him how wonderful it was to meet him and that I hoped it'd be the beginning of a great relationship. He texted me back with "Who is this?" That crushed me, and woke me up to the fact that he used me as a personal ATM. I feel so stupid.
Were any of you bitches there? The manager Tim was led away in handcuffs. The whores and patrons were ordered to vacate the premises. The cops siezed the cash and supposedly some illegal substances. No, I don't have a link, but they're talking about it on the muscle service boards. A gym acquaintance of mine dances there occasionally. He doesn't dance at the nude events, but he got the scoop from a dancer who was there last night. Wow, is this the end of Adonis, the heir apparent of the Gaeity?

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.
I know most Dlers probably don''t give a shit, but I really wanted to know what are the "best" cities for black and latino gays. Well, "best" is based on the individual, so I guess I''m just asking about pure numbers, bars and nightlife, organizations, etc. Wherever gay blacks and latinos have the most presence.\ \ For Blacks, Not L.A. and San Francisco. So, Atlanta, NYC, DC, Chicago? Maybe Oakland?\ \ Latinos - NYC, Miami?\ \ And, if NYC, then what particular locations?
I find it oddly titillating. Thoughts? It's called "finger-licking" good.
I want to ride him until I squeal like a stuck pig. Is that so wrong?
I wish had went to a HBCU! Particularly Morehouse, because the guys there are super hot!
Was anybody offered the role first? Keaton seems like an odd (but ultimately brilliant choice.) She really had done many lead dramatic roles at this point in her career.

Organizers of South Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day parade have rescinded their invitation to a gay rights organization to march and cut off negotiations to end a longstanding ban on gay groups, marking another twist in a controversy that appeared just days ago to be on the verge of compromise. Parade organizer Philip J. Wuschke Jr. said Tuesday that discussions with MassEquality had ceased and that the gay advocacy group would be prohibited from participating. The decision represented an abrupt change in tone after days of negotiations. But Tuesday night, Mayor Martin J. Walsh said negotiations continued, and he remained optimistic a deal was within reach. “I’m hopeful those discussions will be positive and we’ll be able to make an announcement,” Walsh told reporters at an appearance in downtown Boston. “I’d really like to be able to march in the parade a week from Sunday. I’m going to hold out hope until the very end. If [MassEquality is] not in the parade, I will probably not be marching.” At the urging of Walsh, parade organizers broke longstanding precedent and invited MassEquality to participate, but with a significant caveat. Marchers would be barred from wearing T-shirts or holding signs that included the word gay or other references to sexual orientation. “We gave them what we figured was reasonable,” Wuschke said Tuesday afternoon in a telephone interview. “They wanted it all.” The parade’s sponsor, the Allied War Veterans Council, issued a press release accusing MassEquality of lying on its application by “using a ploy to enter this parade under false pretenses,” saying it was not a legitimate veterans group. MassEquality’s executive director Kara S. Coredini did not return phone messages seeking comment. Gay rights advocates urged patience and expressed resolute support for the new mayor. “I would say that it’s not over until the parade starts,” said Sue O’Connell, co-publisher of Bay Windows, New England’s largest newspaper serving the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community. “Mayor Walsh is committed to really trying to negotiate this. . . . It’s something he ran on.” Although it is a private parade, the event relies on public resources. In 2013, the city spent more than $315,000 on police overtime for the parade and setting up barricades the day before. The city also incurred costs to clean streets, but police are the most significant expense, city officials said. A spokeswoman for Walsh said parade organizers do not reimburse the city for police costs and do not pay a fee for a parade permit, which was issued Jan. 28 by the Transportation Department. On Tuesday night, Walsh did not seemed inclined to use financial pressure to force parade organizers to include gay groups. “We have to make sure . . . that all the residents of Boston are safe,” Walsh said. “During that parade, a million people come into South Boston.” The controversy over the parade ignited in 1992, when the Allied War Veterans rejected an application to march from the Irish American Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Group of Boston. The group had applied to show solidarity with an organization rejected from the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York City, court records show. In Boston, the group known by the acronym GLIB won a state court order and marched “ ‘uneventfully’ among that year’s 10,000 participants and 750,000 spectators,” according to legal records. But parade organizers pressed their case, ultimately landing in the US Supreme Court, which handed the parade organizers a landmark unanimous victory. The court ruled in 1995 that although the parade marched on public streets, it was a privately organized event protected by the First Amendment right to freedom of speech. A parade is a form of expression, the court ruled, and the government could not interfere, even to prevent discrimination against gays and lesbians or any other group.
