Richard Simmons had visitors Friday night ... cops who were doing a welfare check because he's been MIA for more than year ... and guess what? He's fine. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... 2 LAPD officers showed up to Simmons' Hollywood Hills home at 7 PM. Richard answered the door and showed them in. The cops' feedback -- he couldn't have been nicer and more gracious. They say he was articulate, lucid, relaxed and appreciative of their concern. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the visit was triggered by a long-time friend of Simmons who sent an email to the L.A. County D.A.'s Elder Abuse Unit last month and said he believed the 66-year-old fitness guru was being abused. TMZ broke the story, Simmons went radio silent a year ago. He hasn't spoken to his friends, gone to his fitness studio or been seen in public. His friends say there is no way Richard would shut himself off this way. His manager says Simmons is simply depressed over a knee injury. But we've learned the 2 cops who spent an hour with Richard say he seemed genuinely happy. Simmons, who now has a beard, told them he was "exhausted" after spending 30 years in the public eye. He said, "I just want to spend time with myself," although he says he's in regular touch with the people in his life who matter to him. He was alone in the house Friday when cops were there. Simmons was walking with a slight limp, which is consistent with the knee injury. As for why he hasn't been to his fitness studio for the better part of last year, he said, "I've got people who run things. I don't need to be there." Until he disappeared he was a fixture at the studio.

01.25.15 Scientology Doc ‘Going Clear’ Claims the Church Split Up Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman Alex Gibney’s highly anticipated documentary Going Clear, which premiered at Sundance, makes some shocking claims about Scientology A-lister Tom Cruise. Alex Gibney’s Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief is arguably the most hotly anticipated film premiering at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. HBO Documentary Films, which is releasing the eye-opening documentary on the Church of Scientology later this year, hired a team of 160 lawyers to look over the movie, and the church, despite not having seen it, took out a recent ad in The New York Times accusing Gibney’s film of being “a Rolling Stone/UVA redux.” I just attended the first screening of Going Clear, which is based on the book of the same name by Lawrence Wright, and can report that it is a scathing exposé on Scientology and makes some startling accusations about its most famous member, Tom Cruise. The film alleges that the Church of Scientology used a number of intimidation tactics to force Cruise to split from Nicole Kidman. According to the testimony of Marty Rathbun, formerly the second-highest ranking official in the Church of Scientology who left in 2004, Scientology head David Miscavige was suspicious of Cruise’s second wife, whose father was a renowned psychologist in his native Australia. Scientology is vehemently opposed to psychiatry and psychology, and Rathbun claims that because of Kidman’s father, she was labeled a “Potential Trouble Source” (PTS), defined by the Church of Scientology as “a person who is in some way connected to and being adversely affected by a suppressive person.” Gibney’s film claims that Kidman, who was raised Catholic, convinced Cruise to distance himself from the Church of Scientology between 1992 and 2001, and that during the filming of Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut, Cruise wasn’t returning Miscavige’s phone calls, though Miscavige was one of Cruise’s best pals and served as best man in his wedding to Kidman. Cruise’s silence allegedly infuriated Miscavige, who then assigned Rathbun to the A-list couple. “I was to facilitate the breakup with Nicole Kidman,” Rathbun says in the film. Rathbun alleges in the film that the Church of Scientology then waged an aggressive campaign to get Cruise to dump Kidman, including having a private investigator wiretap her phone—at Cruise’s apparent suggestion, according to Rathbun—and sending the tapes to Miscavige. The Church of Scientology also began “auditing” Cruise around the clock, according to the film, aggressively psychoanalyzing him and gathering personal information. The information was then allegedly sent to Miscavige, whom Rathbun claims blasted Cruise for his “perverted” sexual fetishes. Furthermore, Rathbun says the Church of Scientology “re-educated” Cruise’s adopted children with Kidman, Connor and Isabella, into turning against their mother so that Cruise could retain custody. Cruise divorced Kidman in 2001 and following the split became more active in the Church of Scientology, receiving the church’s Freedom Medal of Valor in 2004 and becoming Scientology’s de facto Hollywood spokesman. Going Clear also claims that the Church of Scientology takes great pains to accommodate Cruise, including installing all the audiovisual equipment in his home, purchasing him limousines and airplanes, and once even having its members design a meadow for Cruise and Kidman to run through—an alleged fantasy of Cruise’s. Cruise and Kidman, the film notes in a card before the film’s final credits, both refused to be interviewed for Gibney’s movie.

You all here think so, at least if you read the Timberlake threads. But on other gossip sites they think he's straight. Celeb writers/bloggers who traffic in gossip say he is straight - EG Ted C, that Lainey person. If you read on him here and other sites, it's like two different people. What's the real deal? Is he gay or not? Am curious to hear from DLers who actually know something, not so much a bunch of speculating fraus, fans and haters...

Since that discredited Rolling Stone article all I have been hearing about is the numerous sexual assaults against mainly middle class or upper middle class white females. The assaults are often tainted with alcohol and late nights alone with young, horny boys who won't take no for an answer. The girls then complain that college and/ or the local police are not as moved by the assault as one would hope in this post-feminist age. In the words of that great man, Col. Potter" horse hockey"! I am so sick of well off girls thinking that college life is going to be a cotillion. That the rules of gentlemen over ride the beer buzz. And that low and behold a guy just wants to get laid at 3 in the morning. Where are the partenal teachings about sex and drinking. Why does a boy have a higher expectation of duty than a drunken, foolish girl. And after all the sexual openness of this generation why are we allowing the soft bigotry of low expectations to give a girl- a woman -an out simply because she regrets having sex, and to hide that shameby calling it "rape". That doesn't mean that men and women aren't really subjected to sexual assaults on campuses around the country. But why when well off, educated females-mainly white- attend college they suddenly act like Melanie Wilkes when they are pressed into sex? They ingested the drug and drink that brought them that boy. Boys between 18 and 21 are usually not the romantic types. And why think that your brain being cloudy isn't equal to his. This is real a class issue colored in eggshell white. These young girls not are prepared for freedom or adult respondsilbity. Their parents have coddled them in so many ways they feel that they are entitled to be treated like a lady even if they are acting like a flower girl. My sympathy is low. Privilege does grant you a mulligan in sexual awareness. And being a victim only lowers my regard that you can handle yourself in the real world.

It's been a rough week for Sam Smith. First, he was called “an ugly motherfucker” by Howard Stern, who also asked listeners: “You know what I like about the guy? He’s fat, I love it.” Sam then posted a shirtless selfie on Instagram, writing, "I say what's on my mind. I might do a little time." Then it was reported that he amicably settled a copyright dispute with Tom Petty over the likeness between Smith's three-time Grammy-nominated "Stay With Me" and Petty's "I Won't Back Down" hit. Smith's reps confirmed that "Stay With Me" is now co-credited to Petty and Lynne, adding that while there are undeniable "similarities" between the two singles, it was a "complete coincidence."

When you have friends over for a casual dinner when do you serve the salad? Before, during, or after the main course? Typically I serve everything at once. When my guests are seated with their mains I pass around the salad. I've been to dinners where it's served after and I don't really like that. I know it's supposed to cleanse the palate or some such nonsense, but it feels like a leafy green let-down after a delicious dinner. And I don't like serving it before the main either. That's very American. I've already served my guests appetizers and serving the salad before the main just seems like too much "little" food before the main event. I prefer to do things restaurant-like and bring it all out at once. I realize a lot of this is cultural and there probably isn't one correct way of doing things. I'm just curious how you, Dataloungers of taste and style, do things. Also, do you do a cheese course before dessert? Or AS dessert? I never have but again it feels like too much little food going on.
All sorts of awesome.

Many people are still clueless that an infected tooth, a.k.a. abscess, can be fatal. The reason being is that if the bacteria in the abscess are able to get into the blood stream they can then travel to the heart where they cause heart disease. Studies have found a direct correlations between oral hygiene and heart disease. Andy Hallett, "Lorne" from the t.v. series Angel, died from heart failure caused by an infected wisdom tooth. His death was quite shocking and sad. So, the moral of the story is that if you have an infected tooth do not put it off. Get help pronto. It just might save your life.

Well, his fmaily did own slaves. Thank goodness for him no coloureds are nominated for Oscars this year, though. "British actor Benedict Cumberbatch has apologized after describing black people as 'colored' on US television, saying he is 'an idiot' and is 'devastated to have caused offense'. The 38-year-old Sherlock star was widely condemned after using the racial term during a debate on the lack of diversity on British screens on the PBS talk show Tavis Smiley last Wednesday. But on Monday night, he issued an apology for his 'incorrect' and 'offensive' use of the phrase, saying: 'I'm devastated to have caused offense by using this outmoded terminology. 'I offer my sincere apologies. I make no excuse for my being an idiot and know the damage is done.' Cumberbatch, nominated for an Oscar for The Imitation Game, added: 'I can only hope this incident will highlight the need for correct usage of terminology that is accurate and inoffensive. 'The most shaming aspect of this for me is that I was talking about racial inequality in the performing arts in the UK and the need for rapid improvements in our industry when I used the term."

What is the most important information I should know about TRUVADA? TRUVADA can cause serious side effects: Too much lactic acid in your blood (lactic acidosis), which is a serious medical emergency. Symptoms of lactic acidosis include weakness or being more tired than usual, unusual muscle pain, being short of breath or fast breathing, nausea, vomiting, stomach-area pain, cold or blue hands and feet, feeling dizzy or lightheaded, and/or fast or abnormal heartbeats. Serious liver problems. Your liver may become large and tender, and you may develop fat in your liver. Symptoms of liver problems include your skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow, dark “tea-colored” urine, light-colored stools, loss of appetite for several days or longer, nausea, and/or stomach-area pain. You may be more likely to get lactic acidosis or serious liver problems if you are female, very overweight (obese), or have been taking TRUVADA for a long time. In some cases, these serious conditions have led to death. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any symptoms of these conditions. Worsening of hepatitis B (HBV) infection. If you also have HBV and take TRUVADA, your hepatitis may become worse if you stop taking TRUVADA. Do not stop taking TRUVADA without first talking to your healthcare provider. If your healthcare provider tells you to stop taking TRUVADA, they will need to watch you closely for several months to monitor your health. TRUVADA is not approved for the treatment of HBV. If your healthcare provider has prescribed TRUVADA to help reduce the risk of getting HIV-1 infection, you should also know: You must be HIV-negative before you start taking TRUVADA to reduce the risk of getting HIV-1. You must get tested to make sure that you do not already have HIV-1 infection. Do not take TRUVADA to reduce the risk of getting HIV-1 unless you are confirmed to be HIV-negative. Many HIV-1 tests can miss HIV-1 infection in a person who has recently become infected. If you have flu-like symptoms, you could have recently become infected with HIV-1. Tell your healthcare provider if you had a flu-like illness within the last month before starting TRUVADA or at any time while taking TRUVADA. Symptoms of new HIV-1 infection include tiredness, fever, joint or muscle aches, headache, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, night sweats, and/or enlarged lymph nodes in the neck or groin. Just taking TRUVADA may not keep you from getting HIV-1. You must continue using safer sex practices while you are taking TRUVADA to reduce your risk of getting HIV-1. To further reduce your risk of getting HIV-1: Get tested for other sexually transmitted infections. Other infections make it easier for HIV-1 to infect you. Get information and support to help reduce risky sexual behavior. Have fewer sex partners. Do not miss any doses of TRUVADA. Missing doses may increase your risk of getting HIV-1 infection. You must stay HIV-negative to keep taking TRUVADA to reduce your risk of getting HIV-1: Know your HIV-1 status and the HIV-1 status of your partners. Get tested for HIV-1 at least every 3 months or when your healthcare provider tells you. If you think you were exposed to HIV-1, tell your healthcare provider right away. If you do become HIV-1 positive, you need more medicine than TRUVADA alone to treat HIV-1. TRUVADA itself is not a complete treatment for HIV-1. If you have HIV-1 and take only TRUVADA, your HIV-1 may become harder to treat.

The last thread had a dramatic ending, so let's continue...
Musclebound, thuggish looking black guys get me weak in the knees. There, I said it. I just think that these guys are the ultimate in masculinity and hotness. Is my fetishizing racist or does it make me open-minded? I debate this within myself constantly, and I never get a clear answer. What do you think? The guys in the SFW pic are the types I''m talking about.

The slate of new and newish musicals is about to start. Will they all last till Tony time? Or will the Broadway be littered with bombs by June?
If so, how'd you proposition him? I'm currently living in an area where there aren't many attractive gay guys at all, but tons of college students…most of whom appear to be straight. Needless to say, I think it's time to get creative.
I know a few bi men who identify as straight. They''re completely comfortable within themselves and acknowledge that they like guys/girls equally, yet if you asked them they''d say they were straight....Is this common amongst bi men?
Anyone else here noticing this? Joan is everywhere!
Yea, I know ... 99% of the guys are bottoms... but that is not my experience. I'm a top who is looking for a bottom but it always seem to go wrong. I'm not interested in guys who just want to wank or guys that are "versatile." I just want to meet a guy who is a bottom and therefore compatible with me. If I meet a guy and want to go home with him, how do I politely say what I want without appearing crude?
Turns out the beloved sitcom treated fat people as punch lines and kind of had a homophobia problem “Friends” hit Netflix for the first time in 2015, and while it’s certainly not the first time people have had the opportunity to rewatch the show since it went off the air in 2004, it has provided a handy excuse for people to ruminate belatedly on the show’s impact — and for crazy super-fans to binge-watch all 10 seasons, obviously — and perhaps learn something new about the gang in the process. And they did! Some revelations were goofy, some light, and others pretty damning. Here’s what the Internet dug up about our favorite sitcom when viewed in the cold harsh light of 2015: Chandler is the worst, and he’s also pretty homophobic. As Ruth Graham wrote in Slate: “Chandler’s treatment of his gay father, a Vegas drag queen played by Kathleen Turner, is especially appalling, and it’s not clear the show knows it. It’s one thing for Chandler to recall being embarrassed as a kid, but he is actively resentful and mocking of his loving, involved father right up until his own wedding (to which his father is initially not invited!)… his continuing discomfort now reads as jarringly out of place for a supposedly hip New York thirtysomething — let alone a supposedly good person, period…. When it comes to women, Chandler turns out to be just as retrograde as Joey, but his lust comes with an undercurrent of the kind of bitter desperation that I now recognize as not only gross, but potentially menacing.” Although, this, of course, is not the first time the show’s homophobia has been addressed: Refinery29, meanwhile, delved into the issues with the show’s use of “Fat Monica” as a punchline. “In the show’s storyline, Monica loses weight in college after overhearing Chandler make fun of her size. Shamed into thinness, Fat Monica becomes just Monica — desirable and (finally) human. Monica is many things: funny, uptight, loving, competitive. Fat Monica is just fat… and always hungry. I was grateful for Fat Monica as a kid. She was proof I could overcome my disgusting plumpness and be seen as lovable, too. True, I would always bear the shame of my inflated past, just like Monica did, but I was willing to live with that if it meant I’d be a person instead of a punchline.”

What do you think he thinks of the fact that long after he's dead, the only song of his that is played consistently is that Christmas song, not "I Want Your Sex", "Everything She Wants", etc.?

Which of the actresses in their twenties do you think will have a good career 15-20 years from now? Who will be the next Tilda Swinton, Cate Blanchett, or Julianne Moore? The only two I can think of are Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence, with Stone becoming the more serious dramatic actress while Lawrence tries her hand at every genre. Juno Temple looked promising for a while but she gives off slight cat lady vibes, so she could be the next Sean Young. If she proves herself in her next few films I could see Margot Robbie becoming the next Charlize.
Is there any reason why this would not be true? I'm not making a value judgment - this is just an observation and I'm wondering if it's valid.

According to various reports, four gay NFL players will soon come out of the closet. But veteran free safety Kerry Rhodes wants to make it clear: he will not be one of them. Pictures of Rhodes surfaced this week on Media Take Out in which the player's arms are around a man in a tank top, but Rhodes tells TMZ the shots are harmless. "Photos have been circulating of my former assistant and I that have caused some rumors regarding my sexuality, and I wanted to address the situation," Rhodes says in a statement. "I am not gay." The free agent adds that the pics were snapped during a "casual" vacation with his "entire business team." Rhodes does say he agrees with Magic Johnson overall, however: he's all for those athletes who actually are homosexual: "I know a lot of people are recently talking about athletes struggling to come out to their fans right now, and I support them, as well as wish those individuals comfort."

Lee Daniels says he wants to expose homophobia Associated Press By DAVID BAUDER 59 minutes ago PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — The creator of Fox's prime-time soap "Empire" said he wants to "blow the lid off homophobia" in the African-American community with a depiction of the show's lead character's hostile relationship with his gay son. Lee Daniels, who was also behind the movies "Lee Daniels' The Butler" and "Precious," said that his own father's hostility toward gays frightened him and he knows the same attitudes are being passed on from one generation to another in households around the world. "What we're trying to do is to give people the opportunity to see that what they're doing is painful," Daniels said at a television conference on Saturday. "Empire," the story of a strong-willed music family whose patriarch, Lucious Lyon, is portrayed by actor Terrence Howard, has gotten off to a strong start this month at the ratings-challenged Fox network. The series had the unusual feat of growing in viewership from its premiere week to its second, compelling Fox to quickly give the go-ahead to a second season. During the show's first episode, Lyon learns he has a fatal disease and is battling with his just-released-from-jail wife over which of their three sons will take over their music empire. Lyon is openly hostile to his gay son Jamal. During a flashback, Lyon is shown stuffing Jamal into a garbage can when he sees the boy trying on his mother's high heels. "I'm glad that I can show the African-American community that this is what you're doing to your son, this is what you're doing to your nephew, this is what you're doing to the kid down the street," Howard said. Daniels said that he believes if his father were alive today, he would have evolved in his thinking. Jussie Smollett, the actor who portrays Jamal, said he's been overwhelmed by the response to the story line that he has seen in social media. If there are viewers who can see themselves in Jamal, "that's incredibly dope and I embrace that," Smollett said. At a time the movie industry is under fire for its commitment to diversity — only white actors received nominations when last week's Oscar contenders were announced — "Empire" is seen as making strides in that area. Taraji P. Henson, the actress who plays Lucious' wife Cookie, said entertainment executives take notice when shows dominated by minority cast members make money. Viewers want to see people who look like them on television, Smollett said. They're also interested in people that don't look like them, he said. "Right now we're seeing people enjoy the culture of America, the culture of the world," Daniels said. "We're showing real life now."

In one of the %E2%80%9Clesbian bookshelf%E2%80%9D threads, someone posted a pic of canes, or to be more exact, metal walking sticks of the type that are sold in sporting goods stores, and are commonly used by hikers. It got me to thinking about a lesbian I worked with who actually did carry one of those. This is in NYC, so it%E2%80%99s not as if she needed it in case she encountered some rocky terrain, nor did she have any kind of problem with her ability to walk. I%E2%80%99ve always figured that since she was totally out and obviously butch that she might have encountered one or more hostile reactions on the street in the past, and therefore carried it for self defense purposes. But still, I%E2%80%99m a bit puzzled about there being so many references on DL to lesbians and canes since I can%E2%80%99t recall seeing other women walking around the city with one of those hiking sticks. So why all the cane remarks in so many of the threads concerning lesbians? Is it because it%E2%80%99s something much more common among lesbians in areas outside New York? Also, if there are any lesbians here who do carry one of those hiking sticks, I%E2%80%99d really appreciate it if you would explain why. Is it for self defense, or is there another reason?
Every day I tell myself I'm going to do better, and I'm into a fattening dinner and ice cream by 8 pm. It's terrible.

Not just to eat little/well, but to stay fit and active? I want to be one of them.

Jonas joins a cast that already includes “Glee” star Lea Michele, Jamie Lee Curtis, Emma Roberts, Abigail Breslin, Keke Palmer and Joe Manganiello. Ariana Grande is also set to guest star. The 15-episode anthology comedy will premiere in fall of 2015, with the first season set on a college campus shaken by a series of murders. Details on Jonas’ role, and the series’ plot are being kept under wraps. Currently a regular on DirecTV’s “Kingdom,” Jonas recently released his self-titled solo album.
Aka Serge. On Flirt 4 Free, he was known as Hercules X. He is gay, according to his profile. I'm surprised this guy hasn't had more attention on DL. He has a hot body, pecs, ass, face and, well...everything else. I had seen pics of him before but didn't know his name. Click some pics to enlarge.
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?
Allegedly, the locker room attendant took the New England Patriots’ footballs to “another area” before they made their way onto the field for the AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts. A surveillance video reportedly exists, which Pro Football Talk says was discovered by the Patriots and turned over to the the NFL. The video reportedly shows the attendant taking two bags of footballs -- 12 balls to be used by the Patriots, and 12 by the Colts -- into a bathroom for approximately 90 seconds, according to PFT.

and his muscle mafia? I''ve got to know. I am not new to the online porn world. But why do I buy this site and it''s premise hook, line and sinker? Surely someone has busted him or revealed his identity by this point.\ \ Maybe because the site is so expensive and you can''t just join and steal all the videos. Maybe it''s because I only get a snippet here and there through torrents I am able to download.\ \ Someone please disabuse me of my fascination.
Will Roger Federer win another major at age 33? Will Serena Williams overcome her recent difficulties to continue to triumph? Will there by a last gasp by Venus? Can Stan Wawrinka and his childbearing hips and ass manage another win? Rafa can "ween" here again, no? Nobody really wants Sharapova to win, right? Will mopey Andy Murray every look up from his constant despair to win another major and blot out the wet nightmares of his Lady Macbeth mother? Andy Murray is on Margaret Court today, something few men would want to claim. Will he ever have an ass as good as his namesake Andy Roddick? And speaking of Roddicks, is Brooklyn Decker Roddick still thin? And what will Mirka Federer be eating to calm her fat-covered nerves? What inane comments will The World's Worst Tennis Commentator, Chris Evert, make? Please don't refer to Djokovic as "Nole"; it wounds. I have state my boundary. And, at long last, my dear lord, will known and avowed heterosexual (and f/ormer Bond girl), Pam Shriver, ever find a MAN! Finally, as always, let's keep the discussion here consistent with the expected behavior in this most civil of sports. Let's keep it clean, elegant, and worthy of the better angels of our nature (and Roddick's ass).

Actor Emile Hirsch was involved in a fracas with a female executive from Paramount Pictures while partying into the early hours at the Sundance Film Festival. Police were called to Tao nightclub in Park City, Utah, at around 3:30 a.m. on Sunday after the movie exec, whose name has not been confirmed but who works for Paramount, told security she had been assaulted. While it is not clear what sparked the drama at the packed club, a witness told us, “Something happened between the movie exec and Emile, and she said she had been assaulted and asked security to call the police. Emile didn’t leave the scene, and calmly waited for the police to arrive, and spoke with them until around 5 a.m., after which he went home with his friends. No arrests were made.”

We now have SSA, Men who have sex with Men, Guys into Dudes, even Str8 for Str8. I believe this is because few men attracted to men want anything to do with the queens and nellies. I recently went to the wedding of two men in NY. The officiator opened with 'This is not a gay wedding, the men marrying today find it offensive when they are called gay. They are quite simply two men who love each other and have decided to create a life together. They would appreciate it if you don't take the G word to the reception." I know many of you on DL LOVE gay, and are gay. I now think the majority of men who have sex with men do not identify as gay and never will.

Cumberbatch added in a later email with THR, "Alan Turing was not only prosecuted, but quite arguably persuaded to end his own life early, by a society who called him a criminal for simply seeking out the love he deserved, as all human beings do. 60 years later, that same government claimed to 'forgive' him by pardoning him. I find this deplorable, because Turing's actions did not warrant forgiveness - theirs did - and the 49,000 other prosecuted men deserve the same."

My partner, who doesn't "do" the DL, asked if I'd posted about this. So here it is. It's like the SEINFELD episode where the friends had an ugly baby, except someone actually mentioned the horror. The two neighbors live in townhouses in the building next door. One is an MD and in her 50s, no family. Big on women's health in her practice. The new mother is in her late 30s and she and her (third) husband just had the first child for either of them. They went through a fertility clinic and for the last three years it pretty much has been a non-stop conversation topic with her - the ups and downs and near misses and two "miscarriages" and then the morning sickness and nursery planning and work arrangements and doctors and complications and showers and family and a framed ultrasound - nonstop. And then the blessed event. So the new parents had some neighbors over, and Mom was gushing and flittering like a 20-year-old. She did a "Baby Presentation" where we all had to sit in the living room and she went and got the kid and did a "reveal." My partner and I were having trouble keeping it together, but when the little "banky" (she said it) came off the top of the carrier and she oozed, "Dear friends, I introduce you to... Delilah," there was a stunned silence. I didn't know a week-old infant could be so homely. It was like a blotchy Jimmy Durante with mismatched ears. Delilah must have spent a little time twisted in the birth canal, because I swear one side of her/its face didn't match the other side. Smooshed-like. The doctor said, flatly, "That doesn't look right." The mother looked like she had been stabbed in the heart. Which I guess she was. People jumped up and started gushing about how precious she was, but Mom just stood there staring. The husband clenched his fists and was breathing fast. My partner and I handed him a gift we had been holding onto and thanked him and congratulated him and got the hell out of there. He didn't talk either. This was last Sunday. Another neighbor said the doctor said she was just talking clinically and she was "sure that if there is an issue the pediatricians will address it." She didn't apologize. Sorry to go on but it was both unpleasant and like watching a train wreck.
Out of all the homophobic actors out there--and I’m sure their numbers are legion--Jensen Ackles irritates me the most. I don’t understand the gay men who worship him. He’s undeniably good looking but he can’t open his mouth without making a homophobic comment. What kills me is that gays everywhere take up for him just because of his looks. “Oh, he didn’t mean it that way;” or “Oh, it was just a joke;” or “Oh, you’re taking his comments too literally;” bullshit like that. Are you fuckin’ kiddin’ me??? I’m sorry but affecting a lispy high-pitched voice while ineffectually slapping at someone OVER AND OVER AND OVER, TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME, IN EVERY POSSIBLE CONTRIVED SITUATION isn’t funny. It isn’t a joke. And, similarly, using the word “gay” or “pansy” as a derogatory adjective in interviews isn’t okay either. Those things are evidence of a belief, people, an attitude toward gays, and I’m sick of guys lusting over him. I’m 46 and own my own architectural firm, and I have 6 architects working for me. Two of them are gay and about 10 years younger than me, and I had listen to them all goddam night go on about this guy. Even on DataLounge his name pops up constantly. It’s like a bunch of freakin’ yeshiva boys jonesin’ to blow motherfuckin’ Hitler. I don’t know what Ackles makes per episode, but word is that he clears 40k to 50k for an appearance at a “Supernatural” convention. So far this year he’s done twelve. On top of that, once he’s there he charges for meet-and-greets and photo ops, and it’s gays who are putting a lot of that money in his pocket. (Unless you’re [i]too[i/] gay. Then there’s no photo because he won’t pose with you.) Gays are also the ones glued to their tv sets each week, boosting his show’s ratings while they queer every gaze between him and his on-screen brother. [i]Idiots.[i/] This guy doesn’t even have the testicular fortitude of Sabrina the Teenage Witch! He won’t just come out and say what he thinks about gays, gay marriage or even politics because he knows it would hurt his career. In fact, his wife will re-Tweet stuff showing mild LGBT support just to muddy the waters and throw people, most likely Hollywood producers, off their GOP scent. However, the latest is that Stone Park Trust, the same trust that owns his Brentwood property--the same trust for which he’s the trustee--has allegedly made past donations to NOM, Prop 8 and Romney’s campaign, so anyone who thinks Ackles isn’t a Republican is nuts. His wife’s Twitter page practically spells it out, along with their very devout “I love me some Jesus” status. “Jensen’s favorite book is the Bible;” “His favorite actor is Jim Caviezel;” “His favorite time of year is Easter.” Blah, blah, blah. Man, I got nothing against anyone’s religion or their personal beliefs about gays and lesbians. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is entitled to their own opinions, but that doesn’t mean that I have to buy their product or watch their show. I’m not going to further any actor’s career so they can fight harder against my rights. And I’m sure not going to give someone like Ackles a starring role in my fantasies. I mean, compare his douchebaggery with the incredibly respectful and classy comments George Clooney made about constantly being called gay. Night and day. Night and day. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE HOMOPHOBIA, PEOPLE. STOP LUSTING OVER ASSHOLES.

Micke Ekvall finished the race in 21st place. In a post-race interview, a reporter asked him, "Did you ever consider stopping to clean off?" "No, I'd lose time," he explained, "If you quit once, it's easy to do it again and again and again. It becomes a habit." "Despite the enormous problems with stomach cramps that lasted between two and 12 kilometers, Micke completed his goal," Swedish site Jesper.nu reported, "He did fine with [a time of] 1:09:43 and came in a creditable 21st. This is despite the misery! Imagine what he could accomplish without a bad stomach." The poop man, now 25 years old, has accomplished quite a bit since then. He ran the same race the following year, placing 9th. He went on to set a Swedish national record at the Copenhagen half-marathon in 2014, and represented Sweden at the European Athletic Championships. Ekvall's story is truly an inspirational one: Never quit. If you can live down running around in public with your own feces streaming off your bare legs, you can live down practically anything. Either that or never, ever, leave the house, because anything you do could go horribly wrong and everyone is looking at you. Whatever. It's up to each of us to receive the poop man's wisdom in our own way.
Wags and pundits said Michael Keaton had the Oscar in the bag. But Eddie Redmayne pulled off an upset at the SAGs, DEFEATING Keaton. Should come as no surprise if you think about it. Oscar history suggests that this was Eddie Redmayne year all along. Oscar loves to reward actors who play real people. In addition to rewarding actors who play a character with a disability. With this SAG win, Eddie now has the momentum with a clear path to the Oscar stage. While Keaton is playing catch-up. So is it over for Michael Keaton? And his real reward this year is just the nomination and NOT the Oscar?

The damn thing was getting out and climbing all over my car, leaving paw prints, and shitting in my flower beds. So I called animal control and they brought me a trap, I trapped it, called them back, and they came out to pick it up. Neighbor came home just in time to see the animal control van driving away. Now, I had never mentioned that I was going to call animal control or trap the cat, but I had told her about the cat prints and cat shit and asked her to keep her animal off my property. She offered some lame excuse and went on her sweet way. But yesterday, she sees the animal control van and starts running down the street after it. Then she starts back toward the house, screaming at me "You'll pay for this!" as she runs in and slams the door. Not 15 minutes later, she sends her sniveling little crotch dropping over to tearfully ask me why I took his cat away. I told him to go home. This morning, I hear a big ruckus next door, car doors slamming, etc. So I peek out the curtain to see her and her son getting out of the car with the cat, making a big show of having gone and gotten it out of kitty jail, so I'd come out and see. I simply opened the door and waved at them, making sure they saw that I saw. I'm sure I've started WWIII with these people now. Goddamn, they are tedious.

"A woman was arrested in Nebraska last week after allegedly drowning her 3-week-old puppy in an airport bathroom when she tried and failed several times to sneak the young doberman on her plane. Cynthia Anderson, 56, was arrested on Friday and charged with with a felony count of animal cruelty. Police say the Edgewater, Florida resident tried to board a flight out of Central Nebraska Regional Airport on Thursday with two small dogs in crates and three young puppies. Following U.S. flight regulations, workers at the airport barred Anderson from boarding her flight because dogs younger than eight weeks old are not allowed to fly. 'Their eyes weren't even open,' said Grand Island Police Captain Dean Elliott. Anderson allegedly handed off two of the puppies to her parents who live in western Nebraska, and tried to board a flight the next day with the two older dogs in cages and the remaining puppy which she tried to hide in her carry-on bag. It was when airport security caught her trying to smuggle the dog again that Anderson allegedly drowned the puppy in a bathroom. Anderson was arrested after police interviewed 'numerous witnesses' - including the woman who discovered the dead dog in the bathroom. An autopsy on the puppy was conducted at the Humane Society, and water was found in one of the dog's lungs. Anderson's two older dogs are now in the care of her parents, while the other two puppies are at the Humane Society. She remains in Hall County Jail on the felony charge. According to a report in the Orlando Sentinel, Anderson has a criminal record that dates back to 2010 when she was arrested and fined for stealing from a store. Over the next few years, she racked up other robbery-related charges and in 2011 was sentenced to six months of probation for grand theft. She has also been arrested for writing a bad check and last year was collared for charges of batter and trespassing in an occupied structure. Those charges landed her another six months of probation."

Quinn Jaxon's new thread, since the last one got closed...
Will she die?
Gay, right?
A mother is suing Target over the suicide of her 22 year-old so. The mother alleges that her son, who has Asperger's, was given a "walk of shame" after being accused of theft and then was fired. The resulting trauma and shame allegedly caused the young man to jump off of a building. Another mother has come forward that her son also was given the "walk of shame" and the belief is that this is standard Target policy.
They couldn''t have thought that by doing so, it would result well.
If really happening I'm being optimistic about it. Apparently Marvel owns TV rights so Fox would have to overcome that little problem first. Considering how well made and successful DoFP was Marvel might just go for it.

Richard Dawkins’ staunchly atheist views on evolutionary biology have long angered the religious. In particular, his 2006 best seller The God Delusion, during which he argues that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist and that those who hold such beliefs in a personal god are fantasists. As such, he frequently receives hate mail. Mostly homophobic in nature (he’s actually married to Dr Who actress Lalla Ward) and littered with expletives. So he’s decided to read a selection of the finest aloud, and has posted the evidence on YouTube. Titled ‘Love Letters’, he reads, entirely deadpan: “Have you ever tried to make love to a monkey? I mean I wouldn’t be surprised if you had, since sodomites are now running all of our universities. But either way I do hope you get sodomised by satanic monkeys in hell. Sincerely, A Created Daughter of Our Lord.” “You don’t think God is real because you’re gay and stupid,” he begins on another. “Why don’t you stop being gay and stupid and go have sexy time.”
ABC has put the brakes on a plan to fire Rosie Perez from “The View,” after Variety broke the news of the decision on Jan. 14. At the time, the network wasn’t ready to announce the co-host’s departure. According to a source familiar with ABC execs’ thinking, fear of “an Ann Curry situation”–a reference to NBC’s botched firing of the “Today” anchor in 2012–led executives to reverse course and keep Perez on the network’s 11 a.m. talk show for now.

She was on the Home and Life show today on the Hallmark Channel and in Los Angeles this weekend reuniting with some of her Dynasty co-stars. It seems like she couldn't distance herself enough from the show when she left in 1984 but now shows up at EVERYTHING Dynasty related from TV reunions to autograph signings. I always loved her though. Some actors and actresses have this aura and she is one of them. From The Poseidon Adventure to Nancy Drew to the first and best Fallon (Emma Samms let's face it sucked).

Guess it's never too soon: Hillary Clinton might not announce her 2016 presidential candidacy until April, according to Politico's Mike Allen, but some within her sphere are already floating vice presidential possibilities. Allen canvassed the emerging Clinton infrastructure, with Robby Mook as presumed campaign manager, John Podesta as likely campaign chairman and long-time Clinton advisers like Cheryl Mills, Philippe Reines and Huma Abedin in prominent roles either inside or outside the campaign. And President Bill Clinton is already "deeply engaged," per Politico. But beyond the bureaucracy, Allen surfaced some of the vice presidential possibilities being discussed by anonymous sources somewhere within Clinton's world. Sens. Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Michael Bennet (D-CO) were portrayed as early frontrunners. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, Labor Secretary Tom Perez and California Attorney General Kamala Harris were also name-checked. At this stage, it's hard to know how seriously to take that list. And Clinton advisers assured Allen that they didn't want to get ahead of themselves and invite another inevitability backlash. But if nothing else, it appears some of them can't help thinking ahead.

I'm allergic to smoke, and so is my partner (!) and we're sick for a day after a slight exposure. It's physical, not psychological. New neighbors next door moved in, who apparently like both to spend a lot of time outside and to do their smoking out of doors. It's close quarters between our houses, with their deck close to our property line. We have hollies planted for privacy between them. We haven't met them yet - they moved in last week. My partner and I were out at 9 yesterday morning in our yard. At 9:15 the neighbors were out, smoking. We tried moving to the side yard on the other side of the building, but the smoke followed us. So we went in. We tried later, and out they were again. Same thing this morning. We went out this afternoon. The neighbors came out and started smoking. What would you suggest? Do we wait until we know each other and try to cover the topic, somehow? It doesn't look hopeful - they look like suburbanites who have moved into the city and they appear to drink a lot. Party people. I wish smokers would understand that smoke doesn't just disappear outside where the air is still and people are close to each other. After eight years living next door to the place as a drug hole where teen prostitution went on, and then eight years of sitting next to it empty and derelict, as we landscaped and mowed and did everything to keep it from looking like what it was, it would be nice to have an agreeable resolution. The big problem is that given today's lack of common ground and fractured mores and anger and broken communities, there doesn't seem to be a basis from which to start . . .

Sure, there are some ugly ones, but the hot ones are a dime a dozen. Where do their good looks stem from? Were their criminal forefathers all handsome? Even many of the non-model material ones are still very doable. It's interesting, put a couple of Aussies in a lineup of white guys and I can point them out. There's a certain look they have about them. I swear it has to do with their jawlines. Nothing hotter than when they take their speedos and shove it up the crack of their ass on the beach!

Ever since Edward Snowden handed thousands of National Security Agency documents over to filmmaker Laura Poitras and writer Glenn Greenwald in a Hong Kong hotel room, the NSA’s mass surveillance of domestic phone calls and Internet traffic has been widely compared to the abuses of East Germany’s secret police, the Stasi. The communist republic may have imploded in 1989, but it has nonetheless become synonymous with a smothering, all-knowing spy apparatus. A year ago, President Obama cited East Germany as a “cautionary tale of what could happen when vast, unchecked surveillance turned citizens into informers and persecuted people for what they said in the privacy of their own homes.” He was responding to accusations that just such a vast, unchecked effort to collect data has metastasized on his watch. It was no coincidence that Poitras chose Leipzig, a city in the heart of the former East Germany, for the recent German debut of her documentary, Citizenfour, about Snowden and the NSA. “If the government is doing that kind of surveillance, it has a corrosive effect on democracy and society,” Poitras said after the premiere. “People who lived through it can tell you what it was like.”

Was reading a little about him. Apparently he always clashed with producer Sherwood Schwartz on the quality of the scripts. He refused to appear in two episodes because of the especially low quality of the scripts--the one where Alice quits and gets a job a the diner, and the final episode where Greg's hair turns red after he uses Bobby's hair tonic. What was he expecting...Shakespeare? Seriously, just suck it up, do your job, and collect that big fat check. He supposedly loved the kids like his own, but Florence Henderson resented his constact bashing of the writing. Overall he seems like a very angry guy who felt he worth so much more than the material he was given.

I think we need an investigation.
I was just reading an article by William Grigg regarding a case where a mentally ill homeless man was beaten to death by 6 cops while dozens of bystanders looked on in horror. When the internal affairs officer in charge of the investigation of the officers was forced to retire because he wanted the DA to press criminal charges. All of the cops were returned to duty, but the IA officer lost his job and pension. \ \ Last week I read an article about a veteran of the Iraq war who heard people breaking into his house so he put his wife and baby in the closet and grabbed a gun. It was a "no knock" raid by cops who had the wrong house, and they shot him a dozen times. He was still alive, but the cops wouldn''t let the paramedics in to help him, and he died 45 minutes later. The cops had the wrong house, and no drugs were found.\ \ There are stories virtually every day about abuses by the police, and they are never fired or prosecuted, when it is obvious that they abused their power. Are there any honest cops left?
Oh how to respond?? * * * * * Dear Children, I would like to apologize for the apparent injustice that I have done you. When I taught you to go to school, work hard, stay drug free and plan for college, I was wrong. Unfortunately, your father and I had the misfortune of putting ourselves through school and taking large student loans to try and provide a stable life for you. We have made enough money by working hard each day to be middle class. This means that we will pay for everyone else whose parents don't work or don't live here or don't care what their kids do, to go to college. Because we have to do this, your college career will suffer, unless you want to get married or pregnant, you will have to settle. So President Obama, when you say it doesn't matter if your black or white or illegal or poor or gay or straight you deserve an education. That is true except if your parents make just enough money not to be poor and then you're screwed. People who did what they were supposed to do are being punished. Explain to me what this generation is learning about morals and ethics... And what will they teach their offspring? Sincerely, Your Mother

The people of Ukraine just ousted an actual tyrant, and they did it without being armed to the teeth. Police officers ordered to shoot their fellow citizens will generally refuse to do so. No political leader in a nation of free people will ever have the moral authority to command the police or the army to fire on unarmed civilians. However, if you open fire on the police with a rival militia, they will fire back and you will have a protracted bloody civil war. Please stop arguing that 300 million guns are what is keeping Americans free.

As the UN security council called for a "full, thorough independent international investigation" into the downing of the plane, concern that a cover-up was under way was fuelled by a standoff at part of the crash site between observers from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and rebel gunmen, which ended with a warning shot being fired. Postings on rebel websites immediately after the crash boasted of having shot down what they claimed was an Antonov Ukrainian military transport plane, but these have since been deleted.

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.
This is a bit "inside baseball" but is anyone else curious about the drama going on behind this movie? First, the director pisses off fanboys by making Johnny Storm black (the awesome Michael B Jordan) but casting Rooney Mara as his sister Susan. WTF? Why not cast a black actress? Then he says the story is more "down to earth" than most comic movies. They fight world eating giants and mole men. They are NOT the "Down2Earth 4". Now, they are shooting new footage for the next week or so. During pre-production a number of directors were approached to replace Trank (director) and no one would touch it that far into the production phase with a set script. Marvel prez has canceled the comic book and taken down all F4 pictures, refused new commissions on the characters, and basically forbidden anyone to mention movie properties Fox controls, including X-Men. Anyone else hope it is a "Lone Ranger vs. Ishtar" level bomb?

I have no idea who Sam Smith is, but that song is tiresome and sounds like it's being sung by a black drag queen with a church choir as backup. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I can't get in my car and turn on the radio without this fucking awful, melodramatic torch song blaring. It's even played on rotation on the satellite top 100 streams. Apparently Sam Smith is a white guy, I just looked him up. Which makes this God-awful song even more irritating. MAKE IT STOPPPPP!

White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough on Sunday distanced himself and President Obama from an anonymous U.S. official who said that "there will be a price" after Israe1i Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted an invitation to speak before the U.S. congress. "There are things you simply don't do. He spat in our face publicly and that's no way to behave," the anonymous official told Haaretz on Friday. NBC's "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd asked McDonough about the quote in Haaretz on Sunday. McDonough said that he doesn't know who gave the quote to Haaretz and that it doesn't represent the views of the White House. "I can guarantee that it's not me, not the president, and not what we believe," he said. McDonough explained that Obama will not meet with Netanyahu during his upcoming visit since it will take place soon before the Israeli elections. "We think that, as a general matter, we, United States, has stayed out of internal politics in the countries of our closest allies. That's true whether it's Great Britain, where we just recently had a visit from Prime Minister Cameron a full four months before their election, or in Israe1," he said. Todd also asked McDonough if he agreed with former Israe1i ambassador to the U.S., Michael Oren, who said that Netanyahu should cancel his trip to the U.S. McDonough said he would "leave that" to Oren and Netanyahu.

Chief Of Staff Distances White House From Anonymous Official Who Said Netanyahu 'Spat In Our Face'
A poster on the "Poppy Bush" thread asked me to start a new thread about the CIA links between the JFK murder, Bush 1&2, Clinton and Obama. Just to deflect any trolls from calling me a "Freeper" and accusing me of slandering the Dems, do not forget- Bush Sr was the director of the CIA, and was chosen for Reagan (against his better judgment) as Veep. It was "choose Bush as VP, or else"! Let's focus on the current administration and work our way back. There is substantial circumstantial evidence that Obama's mother, grandmother, father, and stepfather were all CIA operatives. Since the CIA never comments on current or former agents, and is highly secretive about everything, confirming the evidence is a futile exercise. His mother, Ann Dunham, worked for several CIA front companies. His bio-dad worked for a CIA funded anti-commie group that trained Africans to fight the USSR. His stepdad, Lolo, was an operative in Indonesia, and helped stage a coup of the president. His grandmother, Madelyn, worked for a CIA controlled bank in Hawaii that laundered money for the CIA. His mom and dad met in a Russian language course...run by the CIA. All of these assertions can be confirmed with a quick Google search. Free country? Only if you're a complacent, ignorant tool.

I'm watching an episode of COPS and they are doing a drug sting selling minor amounts of marijuana to people then pulling them over a block away and they are telling these people they will forfeit their cars. WTF? Is it a state thing because down here you just have it impounded til bail is posted then go pay to get it out. These are small amounts of marijuana and rolling paper busts.

French families find themselves in a jam after a court rules they cannot name their daughters Nutella and Fraise (Strawberry) A court in northern France has taken a tough stance towards parents who want to name their babies after chocolate spreads or fruit, overturning two families’ decisions to call their daughters Nutella and Fraise (Strawberry). When one couple in Valenciennes tried to call their child Nutella last September, the shocked registrar immediately informed the local prosecutor, who took the case to court in the northern city. The judge said that giving the child “the name of a chocolate spread” was against the girl’s interests as it might “lead to mockery and unpleasant remarks,” La Voix du Nord newspaper reported. The parents did not turn up at the hearing in November, and in their absence the judge ruled that the girl should be renamed Ella. The same court in Valenciennes made similar arguments in January this year before overturning the decision of another couple to name their child Fraise. The judge said that in particular the girl might face derision from people using the uncouth expression "ramène ta fraise" - a slang saying that translates as "get your a-- over here". The parents opted instead for Fraisine, an elegant name popular in the 19th century. French parents can choose whatever name they want for their offspring, but a registrar will occasionally seek to ban a moniker that might be deemed against the child’s interests. A family was told in 2009 that they could not name their child after the French cartoon character Titeuf. But the recent spate of French kids who have been named after characters in the Game of Thrones series, such as Khaleesi or Joffrey, does not appear to have ruffled any official feathers. Last week a dog owner in eastern France was forced to change the names of his dogs because they allegedly made people think of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun. The owner of the American Staffordshire Terriers "Itler" and "Iva" grudgingly agreed to rename them "Ilisa" and "Isio" after a complaint by the mayor of the village of Saint-Nicolas-de-Port.

What do these two big national arguments have in common? A lot of people want to stop gay people from getting married because they don’t feel comfortable with gay marriage, even though gay marriage is not causing them any harm. A lot of people want to decrease the amount of guns in this country – even legal guns of those of people who have never caused any harm – because they don’t feel comfortable with guns. I’m sure there are a few people out there who want to ban guns AND gay marriage, but in general it seems there is not much overlap between these two groups of, shall we say, “banners”. The “banees” in both instances (in the second instance I’m referring to the gun owners, not the guns themselves) are justifiably claiming “You are trying to interfere with my rights!” I feel that we always have to be very careful when letting one group of people tell another group of people what they can have, be, or do. If you feel that you have the right to tell other people how they can live, then you have to understand that you are opening the door for them to get to tell you how YOU can live. Of course, the undeniable difference between these two debates is this: I don’t believe that any innocent bystander has ever been killed by the discharge of a gay marriage. Another difference is that gay marriage is an all or nothing debate – you have to allow it or not allow it. The gun control debate is much more complicated, in that there are so many different levels of control being asked for by different people. I believe that a lot of reasonable people want better enforcement of the gun laws that are already on the books, and consistent application of background checks regardless of where you purchase the weapon. Then there are more extreme people who want certain kinds of weapons completely unavailable, and limits on the availability of ammunition. And then, over here in the corner, we have the people who seriously want to see our country without any guns at all. I hear a lot of gun rights advocates responding as though all gun control advocates fall into that last category – as if the matter of gun laws is as black-and-white as that of gay marriage laws. I don’t really know where I’m going with this… I don’t know what the answer is. I do know that if we banned everything that I could use to kill someone, it would be awfully hard for me to prepare dinner tonight. I also know that being told I couldn’t marry the consenting adult person that I love would make me even more angry than being told I couldn’t buy the gun I want. We live in a crazy world.

This is terrifying.
It's such a great film, but it has a lot of problems in it. The "Crazy Veil" sequence is beautiful but it stops the whole movie cold. The "Gotta Dance" sequence is great, but it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever how it could possibly be interpolated into "The Duelling Cavalier" (and it has nothing to do with the rest of the wider movie). Worst of all, Lina seems punished too cruelly at the very end, and yet she always gives audiences more pleasure than anyone else in the film. But you can forgive it everything for its great musical numbers and its brilliant dialogue ("If we can bring a little joy into your humdrum little lives, then all our hard work ain't been in vain for nothin'").

In order to end smoking for good the public needs to embrace e-cigs and vaping. Just to give a quick breakdown of e-cigs: They were invented by an American in 1964 but were never manufactured over claims that cigarettes were so inexpensive that it would not be able to compete in sales. Fast forward to early 2000s and a Chinese man reinvented them an they were manufactured. They took off in sales. By 2007 they began to infiltrate Europe. By 2009 they were in the U.S. Original models looked like real cigarettes. Newer models do not resemble cigarettes and have a longer battery life and produce a more satisfying vaping experience. The problem with cigarettes is the actually combustion part of the habit. It's the combustion that produces the carcinogens that can lead to cancer and the tar that damages lungs and hardens arteries. E-cigs remove the combustion aspect and thus does not product the carcinogens and tar that cigarettes do. The liquid that is used in e-cigs is called e-liquid or e-juice. It is liquid Nicotine diluted in a base of propylene glycol and/or vegetable glycerin. Food grade flavoring are then added to product whatever of thousands of flavor one wishes. The liquid is not burned. It is heated by a metal coil inside the device and is vaporized. The vapor that one sees when a person using an e-cig inhale and exhale is actually 99% water. Water molecules are attracted to the vaporized glycerin and form for a very short-lived cloud or fog. Unlike with cigarettes smoke, the exhale completely vanishes within seconds of being exhaled. Also, unlike smoke which is warm, the exhaled vapor is cool. One can demonstrate by having a vaper blow the exhale on their arm/hand. The benefits of vaping include: -not stinking -no longer having to go outside to smoke in the heat and cold -no longer having yellow teeth and fingers -no more coughing and hacking -no bad breath -cheaper than smoking cigarettes -healthier than smoking cigarettes If it sounds that e-cigs are a miracle then why aren't almost all smokers switching to them? Well, to be honest it's because they are stupid. Some have tried a rinky-dink model when they first came out and were not satisfied with them and just dismissed all e-cigs because of that one bad experience. Some are still in denial about their own mortality. Some are so ignorant they believe that e-cigs are more dangerous than smoking cigarettes. (This is the modern version of the group of smokers who claimed that filters is what really cased cancer, not tobacco.) So how can we reach these people? Some of the things we can do is to normalize it in society. There's no reason for treating e-cigs as if they were just as disgusting and dangerous as cigarettes. There's no reason for special taxation of e-cigs or the banning of their use in public places as there is no evidence they are harmful. What there actually is is rumor, hearsay and fear-mongering by idiots who routinely bring up, "Won't Someone Think Of The Children!" Anybody who argues this position needs to be slapped in the mouth. E-cigs are for people who are already addicted to smoking. If any child should take up vaping then this is simply a child who would have taken up smoking if vaping wasn't available. Curtailing e-cigs are actually causing the smoking rates to increase among teens because cigarettes are still easier to get for them, compared to e-cigs. You may have heard that the FDA recently opened public comments on proposed legislation that it will possibly enact in two years. If the FDA does indeed enact this legislation the the entire e-cig market will be handed over to the Big Tobacco companies. All the mom & pop shops will not be able to afford staying in business. Big Tobacco only wants the rinky dinky models that look like cigarettes. They don't want people to be satisfied using them so that they will go back to cigarettes. So the FDA might be playing into the hands of Big Tobacco. And they media used scare tactics to force the FDA to act. So this entire war against e-cigs is so very contrived.

I think it's so strange when people act like torture and lies by the government is some new thing. FDR knew that Japan was going to bomb Pearl Harbor, but kept it secret so he had an excuse to enter WW2. He allowed thousands of innocent men and women to die so he could convince the "average person" to enter WW2. Fuck him, and the people that love his bullshit. You are the same moronic thug assholes that allowed Bush to invade and bomb the Middle East based on bullshit.

Julia Roberts is making a Batkid movie. And no, this isn't yet another comic book adaptation. It's based on the true story of a 5-year-old leukemia patient who, thanks to the Make-A-Wish foundation, was able to become Batman's sidekick for a day. Batkid (whose real name is Miles Scott) captured our hearts and in November 2013 when the Bay Area Make-A-Wish turned San Francisco into Gotham City. He got to drive around in the Batmobile, defeat various supervillains, and was eventually presented the keys to the city by the mayor himself. His heartwarming story went viral online as it unfolded in real life, culminating in a documentary called Batkid Begins. In the trailer, you can see Miles' father compare the battle against leukemia to Batman's battle against evil. Now, Julia Roberts has optioned the rights to make Batkid's story into a feature film, essentially a dramatized remake of Batkid Begins. Roberts also intends to star in the movie, possibly as the Make-A-Wish Foundation's San Francisco chapter director Patricia Wilson, who organized the city-wide effort to give Miles Scott a perfect day as Batkid.

He's a gifted actor, has had relationships with Uma Thurman (married) and Isabela Rosellini (engaged), is a Thatcherite and now he's an Oscar nominee. I'm especially interested in what came of his involvement with Zodiac. He'd signed on to play Marvin Belli (who was eventually played by Brian Cox) and then he was no longer associated with the project. Fun fact: both Oldman and David Fincher share the same ex-wife, Donya Fiorintino (Linda's sister) whom Oldman had met in rehab. I don't know if there was any overlap between relationships. Oldman fought a bitter custody dispute with her post-divorce, accusing her of drinking and using and being intoxicated in the kids' presence. Custody was awarded to Oldman which says something about the severity of her problems. Fincher had one child with her, so he had to be aware, on some level, of what was going on. I was kind of surprised when Oldman signed with Zodiac given the history... I love to imagine that there was some sort of intrigue involved though dropping out could have been due to a scheduling conflict with Harry Potter. What else do we know about him?

50 Shades of Grey is already a hit: Fandago's biggest R-rated title ever

OMG I just came from a Sundance Film Festival screening of this new indie. Marsden plays a bisexual who full-on seduces Black. Sex scene includes a shirtless makeout session between the two men followed by Marsden pounding Black's fat-ass bent over a bed. It has funny moments; it's interesting. But I doubt it will play well with straights or queers because it becomes a melodrama in awkward and unlikely territory. Sundance billed it as a buddy comedy and that's what you'd expect from the cast. But no, it's mostly uncomfortable, stunt storytelling.

She's now got her own reality television series where she helps mothers cut the cord when it comes to their children - and I mean, children. --- If you've ever wondered what it's like to be at the epicenter of a media storm - one that has labeled you an irresponsible parent (at best) -- let me tell you: A lot of creeps find your e-mail. Last week I wrote a column for my newspaper, The New York Sun, titled, "Why I Let My 9-Year-Old Ride The Subway." It basically said that I let him do this because he wanted to take a trip solo, he knew how to read the map, and I had every confidence that he could find his way home. Two days later, said son and I found ourselves on the Today Show, MSNBC and FoxNews, trying to convince anchor after anchor after anchor that: 1) This was not a crazy idea - as they could see from the fact the kid was sitting there, grinning. And 2) I am not a crazy mom, as they could see from... Well, that's the point. Not all of them could see. The mere fact that I'd let my son out of my sight made me seem nuts to more than a few people, who wondered why didn't I follow him, or keep checking in with a cell phone, or wait until he was 34 and balding before I let him go out on his own. A poll on the NBC website asked whether any other viewers would let their kids do this amazingly dangerous thing - a thing that was normal behavior just a generation ago, when kids were allowed out the door without a security detail -- and 51% said no. Another 20% were on the fence. That left about a third on my side. Wow. Remember back in the '70s (I'm sure you don't, you young web thing, you), when Soviet dissidents were thrown into insane asylums? They were protesting the Communist State and the rationale against them was: Since they couldn't possibly bring down the great and glorious USSR, they must be completely insane to even try. I was beginning to feel like one of those dissidents. My vision of the world, especially childrearing, turns out to be starkly at odds with the mainstream one, which believes that the world (especially New York) is chock-a-block with extras from "Saw III." In a world like that, the idea of letting a child ride a bike, or hop on public transportation before, say, age 12, becomes "irresponsible," bordering on criminal. What's considered sane, meantime, is for us to guard our kids as if we've just heard of a prison break. Which, in a way, we have. Turn on the TV most any day and you will hear something so scary that...you keep the TV turned on. That's the point. TV scares you so you'll stay tuned in. Then you're too scared to go out. So you stay home. You watch more TV and guess what? Something horrible happened somewhere, details at 11! Okay, so it happened several time zones away and the station has been flogging this same awful story for three months. Does it occur to most viewers that a crime like this must be pretty rare, if the station has to talk about one as far away as, say, Portugal? Or Aruba? No! The details are so wrenching that now you're NEVER going out and if your child wants to - forget it! I met a guy at a party last week who makes his daughter phone home after walking one block to her friend's house. And he's in a suburb. The leafy kind! Two parents told me they won't let their kids walk to the mail box. There's too much "opportunity" for them to get snatched. Other parents told me that they'd love to let their kids start going out on their own - at maybe 13, or 14. Until then... In they stay. Or they're driven around by their parents. The fact that a child is literally forty times more likely to die in a car accident than at a stranger's hands makes no difference. Driving is seen as safe. Freedom - once a right of childhood -- is seen as suicidal. I could go on and on about how safe New York City is (136th in crime among all large U.S. cities). And I could say that what my son did is something a whole lot of other city kids do daily, their mothers are just smart enough not to write about it. I could even add that, believe it or not, I'm a safety fanatic when it comes to helmets and seatbelts. And, of course, I could -- and will -- put in a plug for my new blog, Free Range Kids, a haven for folks who want to give their kids a longer leash. But here's what I've learned from all the folks who don't want to do that, and send bile-filled notes instead: For some reason we live in a society that sees little difference between letting a child frolic in the front yard and letting a child frolic in front of a firing squad. It's impossible for people to calculate the difference between real and remote risks. The dissident in me is now ready to start talking about something else, because it's no fun to be treated as insane by society when you're not. Actually, it's probably no fun to be treated as insane even when you are. But that's for another day. Meantime, stay safe (enough).

[italic]One of many articles[/italic] Men who have not been circumcised typically have larger penises than men who have been circumcised. What is the reason for this? Circumcision is a surgical process usually performed when the male is in his infancy. It removes the foreskin from his penis. It is a traumatic process for the infant and some researchers believe that it creates deep-based psychological fears, as the male is so young. When the foreskin is surgically removed it creates scarring and scar tissue. If a circumcised male looks at his penis he can usually see the scarring between the shaft of the penis where it meets the corona (the corona is at the base or back of the head of the penis). The scarring is usually visible because the skin will have a different color than the rest of the penis. This scarring damages the tissues in this area of the penis and will impede penis length on erection. Because this is done in infancy (usually) and before puberty, this will affect the size of the penis when it gets its growth spurt during adolescence. An Australian scientific study measured 158 men for penis length. They compared circumcised and uncircumcised men. They found that the average penis length in circumcised men was 5% less than non-circumcised men. This, of course, is the average. Some men lost less and some men lost more of their size. It's also worth noting the research of Dr. John Taylor who revealed that 51% of an infant's penile skin is removed with circumcision. But affecting penis size isn't the only problem with circumcision. The foreskin is rich in sensory nerve endings and is one of the main areas of the penis that increases a man's sexual pleasure. When it is removed this decreases the sexual pleasure a man will feel during intercourse. The foreskin is also rich in tactile nerve endings, like those found in the fingertips that can perceive very fine sensations through feeling. With removal of the foreskin, the male loses this very fine touch sensation in his penis. This is important because he won't be able to "feel" the vagina with his penis. The scarring of the penis cannot be reversed, unfortunately, but there are methods of natural penis enlargement that can help increase a man's size if he was robbed of it through this surgical procedure.
Why is it That Men Who Are "Uncut" (Uncircumcised) Typically Have Bigger Penises?

With all the informaton about the severe effects of obesity, I have a hard time understanding why anyone woulf let themselves get fat. Why would someone want to put poison in there mouth? It makes no sense. Put down the fork and go out and exercize. Sorry but it has to be said. Listen to Michelle Obama. She's got her head on straight when it comes to this issue. For that I'm thankful. Fatties are FINALLY getting called out. Didn't use to be that way and look what happend.

Also, if it is their house, do they have special bedrooms for the fuck scenes? I mean, do they actually let the guys fuck on their living room sofa?

[bold]Researchers Find Main Source of Pain in Blood Vessels[/bold] Researchers have found the main source of pain in Fibromyalgia patients, and contrary to what many believe, it does not stem from the brain. The findings mark the end of a decades-old mystery about the disease, which many doctors believed was conjured in patients’ imaginations. The mystery of Fibromyalgia has left millions of sufferers searching for hope in pain medications. Up until recently, many physicians thought that the disease was “imaginary” or psychological, but scientists have now revealed that the main source of pain stems from a most unlikely place- excess blood vessels in the hand. The discovery may lead to new treatments and perhaps even a total cure in the future, bringing relief to as many as 5 million Americans thought to have the disease. To solve the Fibromyalgia mystery, researchers zeroed in on the skin from the hand of one patient who had a lack of the sensory nerve fibers, causing a reduced reaction to pain. They then took skin samples from the hands of Fibromyalgia patients and were surprised to find an extremely excessive amount of a particular type of nerve fiber called arteriole-venule (AV) shunts. Up until this point scientists had thought that these fibers were only responsible for regulating blood flow, and did not play any role in pain sensation, but now they’ve discovered that there is a direct link between these nerves and the widespread body pain that Fibromyalgia sufferers feel. The breakthrough also could solve the lingering question of why many sufferers have extremely painful hands as well as other “tender points” throughout the body, and why cold weather seems to aggravate the symptoms. In addition to feeling widespread deep tissue pain, many Fibromyalgia patients also suffer from debilitating fatigue. Neuroscientist Dr. Frank L. Rice explained: “We previously thought that these nerve endings were only involved in regulating blood flow at a subconscious level, yet here we had evidences that the blood vessel endings could also contribute to our conscious sense of touch… and also pain,” Rice said. “This mismanaged blood flow could be the source of muscular pain and achiness, and the sense of fatigue which are thought to be due to a build-up of lactic acid and low levels of inflammation fibromyalgia patients. This, in turn, could contribute to the hyperactivity in the brain.” Current treatments for the disease have not brought complete relief to the millions of sufferers. Therapies include narcotic pain medicines; anti-seizure drugs, anti-depressants and even simple advice such as “get more sleep and exercise regularly.” Now that the cause of Fibromyalgia has been pinpointed, patients are looking forward to an eventual cure. Other expressed frustration about how much they had suffered already: “When are they ever going to figure out that things are never “all in your head?” said one commenter. “Whenever something doesn’t fit in their tiny little understanding, they belittle the patient and tell them they are crazy. People have suffered through this since they were invented. Prescribing SSRIs for everything is not the answer any more than a lobotomy or hysterectomy was.”

Just broke up with a straight guy I'd been "dating" for a month. We went to movies, dinner, took him sailing, a Giants game, and went on long walks together on the beach at sunset and talked for hours. Call me old-fashioned, but I just don't kiss on the first, second, ... or fifth date. But I tried on the sixth. Didn't work out so well. His name is Greg-o-ree. How many straight guys with incredibly cute butts do you know who call themselves Greg-o-ree? Not "Greg," which is the proper, hetero version. Gregory is pissed that I tried to break up with him and isn't having any of it... "We were never even a couple" etc.. and won't stop texting me. Greg is coming over for dinner tomorrow. He says this isn't the first time this situation has happened. I just don't have the time to clean the hot tub or call him Greg-oree, but I can cook a mean lamb shank with couscous. We will likely watch the All-Stars game after dinner. But I'm not gonna try to hold his hand. Fuck me, please.

Guys my age will sometimes chat but most seem to be only interested in younger. I looked at all the guys my age or older (I'm 45) on those apps and it's just sad to me now. They're either desperate for love or already partnered and looking for something on the side. And the couples on those apps? Laughably ridiculous.

There are some celebrities whose names are known to some people, but who despite multiple tries at becoming "big names", never achieved it. Some examples I can think of:\ \ Nicole Scherzinger. She may finally become a "big name" when the X-Factor starts, but she has been working on a solo album for four years now. Her first five singles flopped, domestically and internationally. One would think being part of the Pussycat Dolls would give her an edge over a new and unknown artist, but her solo music never found an audience.\ \ Mark Cuban. He has been trying for years to be like Richard Branson or Steve Jobs, and most people respond with "Who?" when his name comes up.\ \ Any others?
Keram knows that only the tip of the proverbial iceberg has been revealed thus far from the Sony hack. The Amy Pascal-Scott Rudin bitchfest is child's play compared to some of the other stuff that was housed in Sony's email archives, and Sony execs are shitting themselves with worry that the real "Christmas present" is yet to come, hence the reason they yanked "The Interview" so quickly. Keram knows that the email discussions in the Sony leak include extended ones about hiding James Franco's true sexual proclivities (sex with men being the least of them); line items in at *least* a dozen films for either Dr. Feelgood scrips (mostly Oxy) for actors, or coke & heroin in some cases; and a certain overhyped actress who tried to kill herself while filming a certain movie in Sweden a few years ago (there's a reason she hasn't worked since). Keram knows that the most "open-minded" Hollywood actor these days - sexually speaking - is Nicholas Hoult. Keram has heard the detailed sexual proclivities of hundreds of showbiz figures, but Hoult may top them all. He is up for anything and everything with anyone and everyone. Of *course* Tom Ford hit that while filming "A Single Man." Of *course* Luke Evans did the same on "Clash of the Titans." Of *course* he was game for Michael Fassbender's various kinks, up to and including scat. Keram would not be surprised if Hoult had even let Ian McKellen diddle him, though he's heard no such info. Keram knows that the Force wasn't the only thing awakened by the new "Star Wars" movie. Luckily Carrie Fisher isn't in all that many scenes, because otherwise her coke-fueled bipolar meltdown could have halted filming for weeks. Instead, she was very quietly sent to a rehab center in Switzerland, and Abrams delayed filming her scenes for a month. Keram knows DL fave Jake G. had to sacrifice a few things while adding 50 pounds of muscle for "Southpaw," in particular the use of his cock. All those 'roids left him with such a serious case of limpdick that even a max dose of Cialis couldn't do a thing to get him even partially hard. Keram knows Jake immediately started making up for lost time after filming ended, surprising more than a few Angeleno boys on Grindr when he showed up at their pads. (Like many on the app, he had only a shot of his torso on display.) Keram knows that the most genuine celebrity in Hollywood these days may be Chris Pratt. He is genuinely amazed that "Guardians of the Galaxy" is the highest-grossing film of the year, just as he was genuinely amazed that he ended up marrying Anna Faris. Keram is glad to see him getting some long-overdue major success. Keram knows that one of Pratt's costars, Vin Diesel (albeit only in a voice role), has once again developed one of the biggest egos in Hollywood, thanks to the dual success of GOTG and the "Fast & Furious" films. One might think that a decade of consistent failure might have humbled the man; if so, one would be sorely mistaken. Keram knows that the fact that his current "ask" is $20 million for non-F&F films ($30M for F&F sequels) is the reason he's gotten virtually no work to speak of since the success of the fourth F&F film, and that he only did GOTG because it required a mere two days of studio work. Keram also knows that Vin is as gay as ever, despite having a child with his longtime "girlfriend," and is one of the regulars at David Geffen's infamous pool parties. Speaking of which, Keram knows that Geffen's parties have become the *only* place to be now that Bryan Singer has been forced into veritable seclusion (socially speaking) in the aftermath of the lawsuit against him. Geffen has become selective to the point of absurdity in choosing the boys to "service" partygoers. Mere stunning looks are no longer enough: Geffen demands *perfection*. Keram knows of at least two young men who've gotten cosmetic surgery -- specifically, nosejobs, pinned ears and veneers -- simply to gain *entry* into Casa Geffen.

For most men, you get horny and your dick gets erect. Mine never has. It engorges a bit and then stops. To get to full erection, I have to jerk it or it has to be sucked. I have a very tough time keeping it hard if I'm standing. My cock is big so I used to think it was just the hydraulics, but I've seen tons of large-dicked guys have no problem. Viagra worked for about a year and then just stopped. (Granted, I used it often) I'm figuring it's a psychological issue because I do get spontaneous hard ons every now and again, but they're not usually linked to sex (waking up some mornings, for example) The odd thing is the few times I've been in love, I had no problem with hardons. Anyone else have this problem? How do I go about fixing this?

There is no one biblical position on marriage, there are many and they include situations in which a soldier could take a POW as a wife, where a rapist was forced to marry his victim after paying her father 50 shekels (but only if he was caught) and polygamy. Does your support for biblical marriage mean you do not recognize interfaith marriages? Do you think marriages should be arranged and that women should be subservient to their husbands? Is there an upper limit on the number of wives and concubines or are you in the “As many as you can afford” camp? Do you think brides who cannot prove their virginity should be stoned to death? I’m guessing it’s a big “Yes sir!” on the subservient thing because treating women as equals, doing right by them and working towards consensus is harder than reminding your partner that the Bible says she is a sandwich maker. Historically speaking marriages could be dissolved if there were no offspring produced. Are you in favor of this pre-Christian convention? I’m not. I believe in love and I think the Christians got it right on that one. Speaking of Christians and the historical position: You people don’t always get it right. Same sex marriages were performed in ancient Rome, Greece, Mesopotamia, Africa, Asia and across the western hemisphere in the pre-Columbian era and, as John Boswell noted in his ‘Same-Sex Unions in Pre-Modern Europe’ same-sex marriages were pretty normal up until the Christians took over in Europe. So you can drop the “not because it’s a politically expedient thing to do” crap.

I'm sure very few of you are aware of what happened Wednesday night- the Swiss National (aka Central) Bank reassured people on Monday that it would keep buying euro-bonds to keep the 1EUR TO 1.2CHF (Swiss Franc) peg in place, and then suddenly removed that "floor" on Wed night, which caused the euro to drop from 1.20 per franc to less than .90 euro to franc in milliseconds. Tens (hundreds) of billions were lost in a moment. Big FX traders are now bankrupt. The ripples keep spreading- Goldman Sucks lost billions in "carry trade" alone. (Carry trade- borrowing money in an artificially weak currency- the JPY (yen) is another favorite- and buying equity/currency in an artificially strong currency and pocketing the arbitrage) These ripples keep spreading, and Greece is the next target. Not directly, but who knows--- the signs are obvious.
Producer Alan Ladd’s Wife Accuses Bill Cosby of Drugging, Raping Her in 1969 January 26, 2015 | 11:57AM PT, Variety Staff Cindra Ladd, a former film industry exec and wife of producer Alan Ladd Jr., is the latest woman to accuse Bill Cosby of raping and drugging her years ago. In a first-person article published by Huffington Post, Ladd recounts her experience with Cosby when she was 21 and working for producer Ray Stark in New York. Ladd asserts that after becoming friendly in a non-sexual way with Cosby, one evening as the two were heading to a movie he gave her a pill that he said would help her headache. “For more than 45 years I have tried to recall exactly what happened that night. To this day it remains a blur. I have a vague recollection of feeling like I was floating while walking through Times Square and watching some kind of Japanese samurai movie with him. I don’t remember where the theater was nor very much of the evening,” Ladd wrote. “What I do recall, vividly and clearly, is waking up the next morning nude in the bed of his friend’s apartment and seeing Cosby wearing a white terrycloth bathrobe and acting as if there was nothing unusual. It was obvious to me that he had had sex with me. I was horrified, embarrassed and ashamed.” Ladd wrote that it “never occurred to me” to contact law enforcement, given Cosby’s stature as an entertainer and in an era before “date rape” was recognized as crime. She told her husband about the incident nine years ago when another woman accused Cosby of similar acts, Ladd wrote. Ladd joins more than two dozen women who have come forward during the past few months to accuse Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting them. The scandal has cost the 77-year-old comedian a sitcom development deal at NBC and a comedy special that was to air in November on Netflix. Ticket sales to Cosby’s live appearances have fallen sharply in many cities although he has dates scheduled through at least May, according to his website. Reps for Cosby have denied many of the allegations. Friends and family members, including his wife Camille, have recently criticized the news media for the damage done to the entertainer’s reputation and for failure to scrutinize the women making the claims. Reps for Cosby did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding Ladd’s allegations.

They've been letting her bark all night next door and she would pace outside by my bedroom window. I tried earphones and earplugs but it was a shrieking kind of sound, with howling. She was young, part retriever. I guess they were trying to get her to grow up. They're horrible people and I couldn't talk to them. No one else would do anything. People here aren't like that. Eventually someone just would have given her antifreeze of something. So I started tossing raw meatballs over the fence with a tiny amount of my Xanax and Diazepam in them, one each night around 10. It worked fine. But I guess there was a build up of something because Tuesday morning I heard screaming and they had found the dog dead with froth all over its face. The woman came to my door and asked if I had seen anything and then as much as asked if I did something. I said no of course not, I loved Shelly. (I would give her treats and even walked her when she was a puppy a few times before the people got weird) Now she's going all over accusing people. She says they're getting two pit bulls and if anything happens she's going to start civil war. Now I don't know what to do. Should I just go and tell her the truth? It was an accident. I could say I was trying to soothe the dog and it was a terrible mistake. If she gets pit bull they'll be barking all the time and I'll have to move, and I can't afford more rent. I'm afraid they'll hurt my cats, which Shelly never did. I have an understanding with my landlord and I'm worried. Can I be arrested if I confess? All I wanted was some sleep. I know how this sounds, but any ideas will be helpful. Has this ever happened to you?
Has she poked her head out spouting her stupidity in any threads? Or is she quite while mourning her "great loss"?

Koch brothers set $889m budget for 2016 presidential election Only some of the money, the amount of which is nearly double what the Kochs spent on 2012 elections, would come from the brothers themselves Amanda Holpuch in Washington, Monday 26 January 2015 17.22 EST The Koch Brothers’ political network plans to spend nearly $900m on the 2016 presidential election. Freedom Partners, a group that serves a central role in the political activities of the brothers Charles and David Koch, unveiled its plan to spend $889m in the upcoming election to donors at an annual meeting in California on Monday. That amount is nearly double what the Kochs’ network spent in the 2012 presidential election. Only some of the money would come from the Kochs themselves; the rest of the funding to be spent by the coalition that the brothers have helped to build and fund would be contributed by other donors. The funding goal toes the $1bn that the campaigns of the major party presidential nominees are each expected to spend during the campaign. The money will be used for field operations, policy work and other campaign projects. Republican politicians including Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa, Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado and Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina made appearances at the three-day summit, according to the Washington Post. Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, a 2016 contender, flew to the convention from Iowa, where he spoke at a different conservative gathering over the weekend. A Sunday night panel with other potential candidates – Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas – was broadcast online as part of the summit’s attempt at transparency. The 2016 presidential election is on 8 November, 2016 – 651 days from Monday.
He used date rape drugs to sexually assault at least 13 women from the 1970s until 2005. Four of them went on record. Here's one of the victims, a woman named Barbara Bowman, who was interviewed by People magazine in 2005: It was in a hotel in Reno, claims Bowman, that Cosby assaulted her one night in 1986. "He took my hand and his hand over it, and he masturbated with his hand over my hand," says Bowman, who, although terrified, kept quiet about the incident and continued as Cosby's protégé because, she says, "Who's gonna believe this? He was a powerful man. He was like the president." Before long she was alone with Cosby again in his Manhattan townhouse; she was given a glass of red wine, and "the next thing I know, I'm sick and I'm nauseous and I'm delusional and I'm limp and ... I can't think straight.... And I just came to, and I'm wearing a [men's] T-shirt that wasn't mine, and he was in a white robe." A month or two later, she was in Atlantic City and says she was given another glass of red wine and felt "completely doped up again." Confused, Bowman somehow made it back to her room, but the next day Cosby summoned her to his suite. After she arrived, Bowman says, Cosby "threw me on the bed and braced his arm under my neck so I couldn't move my head, and he started trying to take his clothes off. I remember all the clinking of his belt buckle. And he was trying to take my pants down, and I was trying to keep them on." Bowman says that not long after she resisted the assault, Cosby cut off contact with her and had her escorted to the airport for a flight back to Denver.
"The idea that women can't be complete and total citizens until they have control over the destiny of their own bodies [is important to me]," Dunham said of reproductive rights in America. "It's not just a political issue, it's a lot about class, race and it feeds into all these other forms of inequality and injustice that exist in our country." She continued: "One of the reasons it is important to talk about campus assaults is that that these women in positions of incredible privilege are still being forced every day to fight for their truth and that is indicative of the fact that sexual assault is an epidemic and so many people are voiceless. I think campus' are a great place to start because that's where we're being educated and that's where we're told we're going to be safe." On Allen: "Woody Allen is proof that people don't think everything he says in his films is stuff that he does because all he was doing was making out with 17-year olds for years and we didn't say anything about it. No one thought that Woody Allen is making out with a 17-year old in "Manhattan" and, said, I guess he's a real perv," Dunham said. "And then lo and behold…"

Hey guys, I'm 23 and I'm struggling with how to feel about this situation. I have a friend whom I've known for about a year. We are not romantically involved in any way - I know him through another friend. I've hung out with him at parties, and he's a really nice guy. I find out that a month ago, he got drunk at a party and drove his car on the wrong side of the freeway at 4am, hit a taxi head-on and killed a passenger, and injured two others. He himself had just minor injuries. I'm not sure how to feel about this. I think what he did was completely repulsive and horrendous. That person is dead. But do I support him as a friend? Is what he did unforgivable? How do I support somebody who did something so heinous? Especially when it's at odds with my impressions of him - he is genuinely a nice guy, but he made a terrible decision and has to live with the consequences. Also just fyi, he is extremely successful, he's young around 24, and went to Harvard, Oxford, and was in business school. Have any of you experienced something similar? I feel like I should be supporting him as a friend, but I don't know how when I am so disgusted by what he did. What would you guys do? Thanks in advance.
Well? What is it?
Let's post pictures of amazing balls... goose-eggs, low-hangers, or just plain amazing sacks. Whatever, as long as the focus is on the balls!
I told my elderly mother of my recent interest in genealogy, and she gave me a dusty old box she'd had stored in the basement. She didn't know exactly what was in it, but said it had belonged to my father's brother, Uncle Tony. Uncle Tony was my late father's older brother. He died when I was 19, in the 1970s. He left our hometown in the Midwest sometime in the 1940s and moved to California, which is where he lived for most of my life. I never even met him until he moved back here when I was about 12 or 13. He wasn't very nice. Seemed very bitter. I asked my mother once why he never married and she got very uncomfortable and said something about a girl he was engaged to who broke his heart. Anyway, I went through this box and found pictures of him and another man...dozens of them...dated from 1941 to 1968. They were very affectionate in some of them. There were also letters, mostly from the 1940s, between him and this man, named Emmett. The last one was dated February 26, 1968, and was a brief note addressed to Emmett, telling him that he was moving back to the Midwest. Uncle Tony had apparently been diagnosed with emphysema (I had no idea). So evidently, Emmett and Uncle Tony had been lovers for nearly 30 years. Something happened and their relationship ended, Uncle Tony got sick, and moved back here, where he spent the last decade of his life. Emmett is certainly dead by now, but I wonder if there's a way to find out more about him. I am utterly fascinated. I haven't shared this info with my mother.
I'd say this one qualifies by any standard.

Teenagers Just Turned This Guy Named Alex Who Works At Target Into A Huge Meme
I know there are tons of rumors about her. What do you think? Was she a hermaphrodite? Was Edward gay? Did she learn Chinese sex tricks in the East? I mean, she was no oil painting and he could've had just about any (unmarried) girl out there.
And he shows VPL while being taken to the police car. Not bad.
US: New Maryland governor axes LGBT anti-discrimination regulations 26th January 2015, 1:41 PM, Nick Duffy Maryland’s new Republican governor has axed anti-discrimination provisions, just one day into his term in office. Larry Hogan – who was sworn in last week as the state’s governor – has kicked off his term by withdrawing a number of regulations implemented by his predecessor. One of the regulations withdrawn, enacted by former Democratic governor Martin O’Malley, prevented discrimination against LGBT people in Medicaid provisions. Governor Hogan told the Baltimore Sun: “We just basically pulled all the regulations that were supposed to be published on Friday. “We didn’t like the fact that [O’Malley] was trying to push these things through at the last minute. “We’re going to make sure our new team throughout government reviews every one of these regulations to make sure which direction we should head.” However Carrie Evans of Equality Maryland condemned the decision to scrap the healthcare regulation. She said: “Equality Maryland is disappointed in the Governor’s actions. “To withdraw a regulation that prohibits discrimination in the provision of essential medical services, which also has no fiscal impact, seems contrary to the spirit of inclusiveness touted in his inauguration speech yesterday. “We know that trans people in Maryland face discrimination when accessing health care and we should be working to ensure this doesn’t happen instead of overtly condoning it.”

I never understood why One Direction's management never makes Zayn Malik the lead singer. I mean he clearly has the best voice out of the group, he's a little skinny but still attractive. And he's the only one of the group that can hit those high falsetto note's effortlessly. But in their new video "Steal My Girl" (below) when Zayn's singing part comes on towards the end, they switch camera's to him and Harry Styles when it's clearly Zayn's voice throughout doing that high note NOT Harry. Is it because Zayn is a muslim that 1D's management downplay his role in the group? I'm just curious. What do you think DL?

Dan Roan: When it comes to the doping, would you do it again? Lance Armstrong: You know, if I was racing in 2015, no I wouldn’t do it again, because I don’t think you have to do it again. If you take me back to 1995, when it was completely and totally pervasive, I’d probably do it again. People don’t like to hear that. Dan Roan: But that’s the honest answer? Lance Armstrong: Yeah, that’s the honest answer.

For most teenage stars, the rise to fame comes from combination of stage parenting and a talent for singing, acting or just looking cute. But thanks to the Internet, one teenager just became famous for bagging groceries. Meet “Alex from Target.” Those three words encompass basically all we know about him: His name is Alex (at least according to his Target name tag), he works at Target, and he has the boyish good looks of a young Nick Carter, Justin Bieber or any other teenage heartthrob with wispy blonde hair. Twitter user @auscalum posted a picture of him yesterday afternoon, and the Internet took notice. A Twitter account with the bio “Official Alex from Target” now has 346,000 followers and counting. Another Twitter account, which tweeted for the first time 15 hours ago and also claims to be affiliated with Alex, has 24,000 followers. You can also find Alex from Target on Tumblr, Facebook and as a title character in a teenage romance-style fan-fiction. Target is embracing the teen’s newfound fame, and presumably some extra attention from the youngs can only be a good thing for a brand that’s working to win back its mojo. Long adored by middle-class shoppers looking for chic clothes on the cheap, Target has suffered in recent years thanks to a declining interest in big box stores and a massive credit card hack last year. The chain is looking to win customers back by highlighting designer collaborations and exclusive toy lines this holiday season, Fortune reported last month. Like Walmart, Target is also expanding its line of smaller format stores to lure urban customers. But maybe all it takes is a cute teen employee? “Imagine our surprise yesterday when one of our Target team members managed to flood the Internet with images of red and khaki without even trying,” Molly Snyder, a spokeswoman for Target, wrote in an email. “We are proud to have a great team, including #AlexFromTarget.” She added that out of respect for his privacy, the company isn’t revealing the location of Alex's store or making him available for interviews right now.
Let's name 'em.
Just discovered him. Countless videos available, all sizzling hot. He seems to be a genuine freebeing with a blog, Facebook page, etc. I would think he is also doing very well financially. He's definitely got IT!!
I like my job and colleagues, but I have a new boss and we do not get along. He's a nit-picking micromanager with absolutely no sense of humor, and he makes me dread going into work each day. I love it when he's out on travel...I can literally feel my muscles and body relax. How does one cope with a horrid boss? Please regale me with advice and strategies.
Is he the new Cody Cummings ?
So I met him just before Christmas and he is kind and considerate. I am a total bottom and he is an especially well endowed top. He said he loved me and I said it back. I do love him. He lost his job in January and needed a place so he moved in. He makes all of my meals, cleans every thing. He gets a meager benefits check, and spends it on gifts for me (but not groceries or anything useful). He has become needy, calling me 'pookie bear' (even in front of people and he uses baby talk in bed. He actually said "Pookie? I wuv you to much!! Can I put my wee-wee in your poo-poo hole?" Needless to say, my attraction has worn off and he complains about the lack of sex. A few weeks ago I was out with some friends and I met a man. I went back to his place and he has a nice old house and a pool. We took a swim and had some drinks. He grabbed my shoulders and said 'Christ! I want to fuck you!' and I said 'Then do!' I came home and all was fine. Then this Friday my BF and I were out with some friends. My BF wanted someone's phone number so I gave him my phone and told him it was in my contacts... well he saw a text from the guy referring to what a 'hot fuck' I am and could we meet again. Right there in the bar, at the table with our friends, he blurted 'Did you cheat on me?' Emboldened by a few drinks I replied nonchalantly. 'Yes I did'. He began to cry... not quiet tears and not sobbing, but I love Lucy style WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! and left the bar, still crying. I chose not to return home that night, opting instead for a good fuck at the other man's house. When I came home the next day, he was gone and the neighbor told me she'd heard him bawling his eyes out until 4 AM. His stuff was still there so I took a nap and knew I would have to deal with this, bracing myself for a fight. He came in at noon with a 50 inch screen TV. He made me promise not to cheat again unless it's a threesome... and I had to let him put his 9 inch pee-pee in poo-poo hole while I tried not to fall asleep. Now I'm just thinking of all the fun I'll have getting him to buy me a car!
During the week, 34-year-old Ottawa native Jimmy is happily married to Judy, 35. They have two children, ages three and four. Jimmy is a project manager for the government, and he often travels for his job. Judy is a teacher. They have been together since high school. Jimmy takes his vows seriously and would never leave Judy, because he loves her and his children. Not only do he and his wife share children and friends, they also do sporting activities and go on vacations together. They are both very active people. They have a great life together. But Judy can’t give Jimmy everything he needs. During the weekend, Jimmy loves sucking men’s cocks. He feels he needs this quiet outlet away from his vanilla heterosexual lifestyle. But if Judy were privy to this secret, he fears she would leave him. “I started cruising for men as an army cadet in my late teens. I went out of town a lot and realized I liked oral sex with men, but I didn’t want to be labelled gay or bisexual. I also didn’t want to lose Judy,” says Jimmy. Aside from the odd out-of-town bathhouse, Jimmy says he meets most of these men on Craigslist. He posts a free ad, usually consisting of the words “I’m looking for a guy to please.” He specifies that he’s looking only for oral, not anal, evenings before 10pm, aged 40 and under. Throughout the workday, Jimmy checks his BlackBerry for emails from a nondescript Gmail account. Pictures of penises, abs, daddies and trans men are sent from guys looking for an after-dinner assignation. He’s picky and only goes out a few times a month.
I was talking late one night over drinks with a straight co-worker - dishing about a 'Bi' guy in our office. "Oh, he's a total Top," said my friend. "He won't suck a dick or take it up the ass. He told me so. He'll cuddle, but won't kiss a guy. No way!" "Well, then he's not gay." "Of course he is! He likes to get ..." "His dick sucked. Yeah. That's not GAY that's being a GUY." So there we have it. We pondered that for a while. Does having a guy suck your dick make you gay? Or are the truly gay guys the ones that actually want and crave cock? I personally think TOPS are frauds.
When I first came out of the closet, I was emotionally vulnerable and desperate to believe there is actually something called the gay community to embrace me. I went to Chelsea (NY) because that was gay-central. I was utterly ignored--not buff, not gorgeous, not wearing the right clothes, etc., I was invisible to them. I got really depressed, thinking I was rejected by, not only the gay-hater but gays. It took me a while to get over that funk despite continued rejection from Chelsea types. Chelsea boys seem to be able to define gay beauty for the world. First it was buff. As they grew older and couldn't keep up the gym routines and eyebrow plucking, and suddenly bears with pot bellies became hot. Now, it's daddies as they've all gotten older. Fast forward a decade or so, and so many of these same guys have facial wasting from AIDS. They hit on me all the time because they are desperate for the same kind of attention I wanted. They now see how hard rejection can be on the soul. Well, Fuck You.
Go.
If so, please identify yourself and explain to us what makes you tick. I'm seriously curious. There seems to be an overwhelming number of your sort on Datalounge these days. You can't all be Christian freepers, can you? I know some gay people are also always pointing accusing fingers at people who actually do things with their penises.
This man moved his company from Italy to Poland due to the bullshit Italian regulations and high taxes. The Unionized thugs tried to kill him and burn his capital equipment. ----- “Earlier this month, Fabrizio Pedroni wished his employees a happy summer holiday and told them to return to work in three weeks. That night, he began dismantling his electric component factory in northern Italy and packing its machinery off to Poland. “Had I told them earlier about any plans to shift the production abroad, they would have occupied my factory and seized all my stuff,” Pedroni said in an Aug. 21 telephone interview from Poland. “The plain truth is that I wanted my business to survive and there weren’t the right conditions for me to operate in Italy any longer.” The news that Firem Srl, based in Formigine near Modena, was shifting to Eastern Europe reached the 40 employees too late. On Aug. 13, 11 days after Pedroni activated his plan, a group of employees suspicious of the movements around the plant rushed to its gates just in time to stop the last of 20 lorries packed with machinery. Firem’s move became a national controversy and the fate of its workers is still unclear. The loss of the factory highlights the struggle Italy faces to revive manufacturing and its economy, which remained in recession in the second quarter even as the broader euro area returned to growth. Italy ranks 128th in the World Economic Forum’s global pay and productivity table, one place behind Burkina Faso, compared with 39th for Poland.”

And it's inscribed! "This Jaeger-LeCoultre Geographique Automatique in platinum being sold by Antiquorum in their upcoming February 7 sale in Hong Kong jumped out for two reasons - the inscription and the condition of the dial. The case back apparently has an engraving that reads: "RENE I WOULD SOONER GROW OLD ALL ALONE THAN TO EVER HAVE ANOTHER LOVER I LOVE YOU JANET." This is supposedly from Janet Jackson. Three questions: Who was René? What the heck happened to the dial? And how did this watch end up being consigned at Antiquorum in Hong Kong? Perhaps some questions are better left unanswered. This is Lot 278 and has an estimate of $5,000 to $8,000."

Dropkick Murphys angry as Republican governor uses song AFP, 29 minutes ago New York (AFP) - The Dropkick Murphys, the Boston rockers known for their left-wing politics, have voiced outrage after union-busting Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin played their music at a conservative forum. "Please stop using our music in any way. We literally hate you!!! Love, Dropkick Murphys," the band tweeted over the weekend. Walker, who became a national name for stripping most public-union workers of their collective bargaining power, took the stage to the Dropkick Murphys' music Saturday at the Iowa Freedom Summit, a conservative gathering seen as a venue for White House aspirants to test the waters. While it is not new for US musicians to oppose politicians' use of their songs, the Republican governor could scarcely have found a less sympathetic band. The Dropkick Murphys, who mix punk elements with Irish-inspired melodies, in 2011 released the song "Take 'Em Down" in support of Wisconsin workers fighting against Walker's anti-union agenda. The track played in Iowa for Walker, "I'm Shipping Up to Boston," was the Dropkick Murphys' cover of a song by Woody Guthrie, the folk singer famous for his left-wing protest music. With musicians often leaning left, Republican candidates have faced particular difficulty finding suitable music on the campaign trail. In the last presidential race, the Somali-born rapper K'naan protested when his music was used by Republican candidate Mitt Romney, whose playlist later featured musicians with conservative views such as Meat Loaf.
Growing up my family always yelled at me when I complained that cornbread needs to have some sugar in it. They would all seemingly unanimously scream, "It's cornbread not cake!" I'm sorry, but if you don't put sugar in cornbread it's going to turn out dry and tasteless.

Zachary Quinto Won’t Return For ‘Heroes Reborn’ January 26, 2015 | 02:01PM PT, Marianne Zumberge Sad news for Sylar fans: Zachary Quinto will not appear on NBC’s “Heroes Reborn.” According to Buzzfeed, Quinto won’t be reprising his role as the serial-killing superhuman on the upcoming 13-episode miniseries, which will pick up after the conclusion of NBC’s “Heroes,” which ran 2006-10. “I’m not going to go back,” Quinto told Buzzfeed. “It was such a meaningful experience for me… I just felt like I didn’t want to go back to it… It’s a great thing to be a part of. I just felt like I need to cultivate other outlets for myself.” Quinto is not the only “Heroes” alum who was approached for the miniseries reboot. Jack Coleman will appear on “Heroes Reborn,” reprising his role as Noah Bennet (aka HRG, depending on how big a fan you are). Tim Kring, creator of “Heroes,” is also on board for “Reborn.” Zachary Levi is set to star in the miniseries, which will bow this summer.
Unfortunately, we all know that the blizzard in the Northeast will cause an undetermined number of deaths. And, since the blizzard is a natural event, religious fundamentalists often attribute God's anger as the reason for the deaths. For practically every other natural catastrophe in the past, these righteous idiots have identified us gays & lesbians as the ones who pissed off their hort-tempered pal, the Thunder-Hurler with very bad aim. Will they do it again? Will it be the "Reverend" Pat Robertson? Rethuglican Mike Huckabee? Sarah Palin?
Just wondering. Because before people used to speak to people with thick accents when calling call centers but now I've called two call centers and found that they spoke perfectly English. Are we seeing a transition away from call centers in developed countries?

One Sunday last spring, Brad Kroenig and his 5-year-old son, Hudson, showed up at a private airport near Paris to meet Karl Lagerfeld, the fashion designer. “Karl will be here 1, 1:30 for takeoff,” announced a Frenchman in a black suit and tie. “O.K., cool,” Brad said. The man in the suit performed something like a bow and retreated. It was 12:45. Brad sank into an armchair by the window and surveyed the tarmac. He pointed out a large gray hawk of a plane that stood off to the side of the slighter, dovelike jets. “It’s the same one that Oprah has,” Brad said. “It’s the biggest one. It flies, like, the longest journey. A lot of private planes have to stop for gas.” Brad knows what kind of plane Lagerfeld travels on because he has flown on it often. As the most senior and prominent member of a group of male models often referred to as Karl’s Boys, Brad not only works for Chanel and Fendi, the fashion houses where Lagerfeld is the head designer, but also accompanies him on yearly vacations to St. Tropez and work trips and to parties worldwide. He has been photographed with Lagerfeld so often that gossip blogs have mistakenly identified him as the designer’s boyfriend, but their relationship is not romantic. Lagerfeld refers to Brad and the other models that travel with him as his family, albeit a self-selected, genetically ideal one. “I hate ugly people,” Lagerfeld told me. “Very depressing.” If models were show dogs, Brad would be a golden retriever. He has a strong jaw, hazel eyes and thick blond hair that seems perpetually windswept. The scruff on his face is shaped carefully, deliberately, to draw attention to his cheekbones. Unlike other beautiful people whose appeal lies in a distinctive facial quirk, Brad’s features are perfectly proportioned, with no apparent flaws or peculiarities. When he models, he looks like a Roman statue. “His best bit is the curve of his thigh,” Lagerfeld once said. At the airport, Hudson snapped photos on an iPhone while his father modeled for him. An hour went by. The man in the suit reappeared and said there would be “a special cake” for “Mr. Hudson” on the plane. Brad asked if there might be special wine for him. “Might as well, right?” he said, and grinned. Around 2:30, Lagerfeld appeared at the top of the stairs leading to the airport lounge. He was dressed in the manner that has made him the most recognizable designer in the world: a white shirt with a high Edwardian collar, fingerless leather gloves, a strict black blazer and sunglasses. A diamond cat brooch was pinned to his tie, and his tight black pants were covered in a microprint of his own likeness, which ran up and down the leg and, from far away, looked like a thick pinstripe. “Hello!” Lagerfeld said. He glanced at the field of small planes and frowned. “And where is ours? Is it that one?” Brad pointed to the larger jet parked just out of view. “Ah, the big one,” Lagerfeld said. “Good.” Lagerfeld was expected that evening in Dubai, where he would show Chanel’s 2015 resort collection in two days. Typically Brad would model in the show, but in Dubai, only Hudson, who is Lagerfeld’s godson, would walk the runway. (He has been appearing in Chanel shows since he was 2.) Lagerfeld was accompanied on the trip, as he is most places, by his 39-year-old bodyguard, Sébastien Jondeau, a part-time boxer with a sinewy build and an intense stare. (A few days later, he nearly body-checked Brad when he held a cup of coffee a little too close to Lagerfeld’s white blazer). Lagerfeld led the way to the plane. Inside, a wineglass of Diet Coke awaited him at his seat. At the back of the aircraft was a single bed made up with crisp white linens. “But where am I going to sleep?” Hudson asked. “You sleep on your seat, darling,” Lagerfeld replied in his heavy German accent. “I have to arrive fresh, you don’t have to. Don’t be selfish.” Lagerfeld rummaged in one of his many shopping bags and fished out a matching light blue Givenchy tank top and shirt with their tags still attached. “For Dubai,” he said, handing them to Brad. For the plane ride, Brad wor

"The Arab was by nature continent; and the use of universal marriage had nearly abolished irregular courses in his tribes. The public women of the rare settlements we encountered in our months of wandering would have been nothing to our numbers, even had their raddled meat been palatable to a man of healthy parts. In horror of such sordid commerce our youths began indifferently to slake one another's few needs in their own clean bodies - a cold convenience that, by comparison, seemed sexless and even pure. Later, some began to justify this sterile process, and swore that friends quivering together in the yielding sand with intimate hot limbs in supreme embrace, found there hidden in the darkness a sensual co-efficient of the mental passion which was wielding our souls and spirits in one flaming effort. Several, thirsting to punish appetites they could not wholly prevent, took a savage pride in degrading the body, and offered themselves fiercely in any habit which promised physical pain or filth."

Seriously. I have given this character many chances to charm me in the books, the movie and the stage show but she has let me down in all three media. The movie and the play are both unwatchable and the books are unreadable. She's a cruel, heartless, mean-spirited woman who threatens to call the police on kids for the heinous crime of not being sleepy, and when Disney tried to balance that out by giving her a sappy side, she just got watered down. Meanwhile, the songs in the movie are fucking annoying and have bad messages (sexism, encouraging kids to take sugar with medicine) and I can't believe one of them won an Oscar. And don't get me started on Dick Van Dyke and his borderline racist accent in one of the worst performances ever committed to film. And speaking of racism, that awful "Step in Time" dance sequence is pretty much stealth blackface. Admiral Boom believes the chimney sweeps to be Khoikhoi warriors, whom he calls "Hottentots," then he shoots at them. And the ending, in which Mr. Banks gets his old job back after he kills his boss, is unconvincing. Why should he be forgiven for tearing up that kite? Walt Disney could do better. So could everyone else involved with this piece of shit. That making-of movie that whitewashed what a travesty this film is (although when you get down to it, they were her books) was almost as bad. All you other haters, have at it.
I'm not trying to be xenophobic with my post but I just find it very strange. My boyfriend is American and he had lamb for the first time at the age of 32.

This girl eats ass like a CHAMP! This totally bursts the myth that only gay men know how to properly toss a salad. How may girls actually do this?? I have a cousin who said she "shocked" her (insanely hot) boyfriend by slipping her tongue into his no-no one time when she was blowing him. He protested at first, but since he kept saying "No" through a series of moans, she continued. He finally stopped her when she stuck her middle finger in his hole (but not before she got it up to the second knuckle, Heh!). Then he proceeded to fuck her like he'd never fucked her before. The dude in the vid is hot, with an equally hot ass and cock, and he's a ringer for Dave Franco. Yum!

The word "queer" is said to be derived from a 16th-century term meaning "eccentric." It was not until the late 19th century that the term "queer" was used in a derogatory manner to refer to effeminate males. In the strange wilderness of adolescence, "LGBTQ" does not apply to young minds. We are just an intricate web of youthful androgynous beings trying to understand how we relate to the world and the many cultures around us. In many subcultures queerness is a taboo subject, and the adversity that queer people have faced throughout history is astonishing. For example, "berdaches," or "two-spirits," were a common and regular part of everyday Native American culture, yet they were killed and fed to dogs by "heroes" like Christopher Columbus. Only select groups and religious institutions sought to harm queer persons, very much like today. In my youth, queer kids were often referred to as effeminate, gay, or cross dressers of sorts. Usually those allegations were followed by words like "faggot," "fairy," "nancy," etc. The word "queer" is one that still puzzles many minds today, depending on the context, as it is used now as an umbrella term for a staggeringly diverse community, one that becomes more so every day. However, for non-queer persons, one question remains: "When am I allowed to use the word 'queer'?" In the '90s, New York brought the word "queer" back to the mainstream press, this time with a positive edge. Since then, much of our gay subculture has adopted the term as a neighborly and friendly one, often used amongst one another. At this point, you're probably wondering, "But Chase, when I'm hanging out with my gay friends, when is it OK to say 'queer'? I feel like it's always the wrong time." Well, reader, let's try an example. Let's say Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi invite you over for dinner. Ellen laughs as her hand grazes Portia's leg, the two clinging to each other across from you on the couch. "So, Ellen, you and Portia are looking mighty queer!" you express gleefully. Now, let's stop. "Queer" is an aesthetic, but it is also up to the person it is used toward and how they feel about it. Not everyone accepts the term everywhere, but with the right intention, it could be considered appropriate, generally speaking. However, if you're not queer, it may not have the same neighborly sense as it would coming from another from within the LGBTQ community. Now, perhaps something along the lines of "Ellen, I love the gritty, queer aesthetic of your space!" is a much more rounded compliment. Notice how it's not the only subject matter of the compliment, and it's used in a passive manner. This is more than OK in most situations, but you have to judge the situation. My band was recently described as a "queer music duo," and I love it. Many friends asked if I found it offensive, and I giggled. It was used in a positive manner by a neighborly queer journalist. I like calling myself "queer." Final verdict: Overall, the word does not carry the same weight as it once did. My advice to you, reader, is to find better language. Challenge yourself to think outside the box. Challenge yourself to rise above doing what's easy. Being mindful of your queer friends and neighbors may elevate the level of respect they have for you. What the community wants most is to be itself without being chastised. To chastise someone, you have to really think about what you will say to them. It's all in the intention. If you change your intention, you might even notice a little bit of queerness within yourself. If you can use the word "queer" in a more inclusive way, there is really nothing wrong with it; hooray for you! If you use it in a derogatory manner, shame on you; go polish the pair of metal balls hanging on the back of your pickup, bro. Queer hate is barbaric and Neanderthalesque. Everyone is a little curious sometimes; everyone has experimented and had second thoughts. I guess you could say everyone is a little bit queer. After all, a word is only as hurtful as you want it to be.
and that fact makes Tom the biggest fucking freak on earth, to pretend his natural son is adopted and his non biological daughter is natural.

Something incredible happened in 2012 when Wendy Williams expanded her Hot Topics on her syndicated talk show from a few minutes to 20 minutes. The live show produced and syndicated by Debmar-Mercury saw its ratings surge — a trend that has continued this season. Wendy Williams’ season premiere last week ranked No. 1 among women 25-54 with a 1.6 rating in local people meter markets. In 2012-13, Wendy’s live-plus-seven-day rating among women 25-54 was a 0.9, up from a 0.8 each season since it premiered in 2009. Last season, Wendy’s rating went up again, to a 1.1, a 22% year-over-year increase. The show’s executive producer, David Perler, says Hot Topics’ expansion has helped boost the show’s rating because the segment is about celebrity gossip, meaning it’s time sensitive. So, it works best on a live show like Wendy or Disney-ABC’s Live with Kelly & Michael or, years ago, Warner Bros.’ Rosie O’Donnell Show.

Jodie Sweetin is seeking a legal separation from her husband of just over a year, Morty Coyle, and a few other shared household possessions, TMZ reports. The former Full House actress, 31, filed papers in a Los Angeles court on Monday, June 24, seeking a divorce and citing irreconcilable differences, the site first reported. This is Sweetin's third marriage. "She seems in good spirits," a source tells Us Weekly. "She's sober still so she's in way better shape than last time. It's definitely true. I guess it's not working out." A rep for the actress had no comment when reached by Us. According to the court papers, Sweetin is seeking ownership of the couple's 2000 Toyota Avalon, as well as a 50/50 split of their $200 Kohl's credit card balance. Additionally, the actress wants full custody of the couple's 2-year-old daughter Beatrix. Sweetin and Coyle tied the knot in a private ceremony in Beverly Hills in March 2012, only announcing their wedding details on their one-year anniversary, on March 15, 2013. In her explosive 2009 memoir, unSweetined, the former child star opened up about her troubled past, which included bouts of addiction to various drugs, including meth, ecstasy and coke. "I got sober for good on December 7, 2008," she wrote in the memoir. "I was flying to L.A. and I ended up taking a bunch of Nyquil and drinking a sh-tload. …From that day forward, I threw myself into going to AA and avoided people who do blow off their coffee tables." "But life is good," she continued. "I'm happier than I can remember." Sweetin is also mother to Zoie Herpin, her 5-year-old daughter with ex-husband Cody Herpin.

Look what happened with her first Oscar win. She defeated heavy favorite Julie Christie. She could do it again to Julianne Moore So in the end once the ballots are counted, who do you think will win? Marion has a chance to turn the tide.
"People may say 'this guy’s a fascist' but you can take positivity from watching him," says retired boxer Mike Tyson has claimed that he was inspired by Italian dictator Benito Mussolini on the rap he recorded for Madonna's new album Retired boxer Tyson appears on the 'Rebel Heart' song 'Iconic' alongside Chance The Rapper. The official tracklist to 'Rebel Heart' was released on iTunes earlier this week. The album also features a collaboration with Nas entitled 'Veni Vedi Vici' and one with Nicki Minaj called 'Bitch I'm Madonna'. As previously reported, Madonna has also worked with Avicii and Diplo on the record. Speaking to Roling Stone in a new interview about his surprising role in the forthcoming record, Tyson revealed the unlikely inspiration. "When I did it, I think about being some guy like [Benito] Mussolini and they’re really arrogant, but you try to come from a positive perspective and be uplifting," he said. "You watch Mussolini on television — even though we don’t understand what he’s saying — he is so mesmerising. I look at myself in that way." Addressing Mussolini's reputation, he added: "I know people may say, 'This guy’s a fascist' and all this stuff, but man, you can take positivity from watching him. No wonder why Hitler was attracted to him. This guy's a hypnotic figure. There's so much pride behind what he's saying. I'm not even Italian and I feel the pride he's projecting. He had that street swag; he was doing this stuff with his hands and moving his head before it was even hip-hop." Madonna is due to release 'Rebel Heart', the follow up to 2012's 'MDNA', on March 9. On Christmas Day, 14 tracks supposedly taken from the record were leaked, while six unfinished demos were previously released without the singer's consent earlier in 2014. Yesterday, it was reported that Israe1i police had arrested a 39-year-old man suspected of hacking into Madonna's computer and leaking her new album. The arrest was made following a month-long investigation by the cyber crime unit of Israe1's Lahav 433 branch (an organisation comparable to the FBI) and a private investigation firm.

Cheryl Prudham, 32, who claims around £38,000 a year in benefits, says she would rather live as a single mother than continue living with her husband Robert A mother dubbed the "baby-machine" has claimed her cheating husband has walked out on her as she expects her 12th child. Cheryl Prudham, 32, claims around £38,000 a year in child allowances, tax credits and housing benefit with her 30-year-old husband Robert. But she says she would rather live as a single mother than continue living with him. She told the Sunday People: "He’s been unfaithful more than ten times. Things went wrong quite early on. Two weeks before we got married he was cheating. "At that time I was eight months pregnant with our first son, Leon, and I felt I had no choice but to get on with it. It was a mistake but I was naive and just hoped it was a one-off. "I was desperate to have a stable family life and give the kids a home with a mum and a dad – something I’d never had but always craved." Mrs Prudham also revealed on Facebook the sex of her baby, saying: "I'm having a GIRL!!" which was greeted with congratulations. She then added her eighth girl will have a double-barrelled name, saying: "I want a double barrel name, first name needs to begin with L like my Lexi-Rose, Lacey-May and Lainey-girl." She later said that due to the amount of children she already has, she has "run out of ideas" for names. Just hours after posting the news, she shared a scan of the baby with the caption "my princess". Finally, she decided against the child's name beginning with "L" and revealed she will call the baby "Tillie-Grace".

US: Republican Ben Carson ‘jokes’ about poisoning same-sex wedding cakes 25th January 2015, 1:33 PM, Nick Duffy Republican pundit Ben Carson has made a ‘joke’ about putting poison in the wedding cakes of same-sex couples. The notoriously homophobic Republican, who is considering running for President in 2016, has previously compared gay people to paedophiles, and claimed that same-sex marriage is a “plot” conceived by the New World Order to impose communism. However, Mr Carson took his objectionable comments one step further during a Q&A session, according to the Hill, while commenting on lawsuits against bakeries that refused to bake same-sex wedding cakes. He said: “What I have a problem with is when people try to force people to act against their beliefs because they say ‘they’re discriminating against me.’ “So they can go right down the street and buy a cake, but no, let’s bring a suit against this person because I want them to make my cake even though they don’t believe in it… Which is really not all that smart because they might put poison in that cake.” The Hill notes his comments were met by “chuckles from some of his staff and dead silence from the journalists in the room”. He has previously been forced to apologise for comparing homosexuality to bestiality and paedophilia. He said in 2013: “My thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman. It’s a well-established, fundamental pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they [paedophile support group] [...], be they people who believe in bestiality–it doesn’t matter what they are–they don’t get to change the definition.”

The saga continues...
Disgraced former Tour de France champion Lance Amstrong has said he would dope again if faced with the same decision he made in 1995, because back then it was "completely pervasive" in cycling. Armstrong, 43, was stripped of his record seven Tour de France titles and banned from all sport for life by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in 2012, but has said that the time has come for him to be forgiven. After years of aggressively denying wrongdoing, Armstrong confessed in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in January 2013. In a new interview with the BBC, the American, who took the yellow jersey every year from 1999 to 2005, said that while he believes it is possible to win cleanly today, that was not an option during the mid-1990s. "If I was racing in 2015, no, I wouldn't do it again because I don't think you have to," he said. "If you take me back to 1995, when doping was completely pervasive, I would probably do it again." Armstrong, who said he was clean when he came out of retirement in 2009 and 2010 - contrary to USADA's report, added: "When I made the decision, when my team made that decision, when the whole peloton made that decision, it was a bad decision and an imperfect time. "But it happened. And I know what happened because of that. I know what happened to the sport, I saw its growth." Armstrong said he saw Trek Bicycles, his supplier, increase sales from $100million (£66.5million) to $1billion as his story as a cancer survivor won cycling new fans, while his charity foundation Livestrong was able to raise $500million. "Do we want to take it away?" he said. "I don't think anybody says 'yes'." Armstrong believes he has been made to pay a heavy personal price for an offence he says was committed by many, and is hoping for a reduction in his ban after twice speaking with the Cycling Independent Reform Commission (CIRC). He also believes his seven Tour titles should be restored. "I think there has to be a winner, I'm just saying that as a fan," he said. "There's a huge block in World War One with no winners, and there's another block in World War Two, and then it seems like there's another world war. "I don't think history is stupid, history rectifies a lot of things. If you ask me what happens in 50 years, I don't think it sits empty... I feel like I won those Tours."

Any gossip?
"The Musk Who Fell to Earth" It's REALLY come to this??? ---- It’s not that Elon Musk isn’t famous enough to guest star on The Simpsons as himself. Musk—billionaire entrepreneur, inventor, visionary, and so forth is certainly a powerful and influential guy, even if he’s not possessed of the sort of pop cultural name recognition the regular Simpsons celebrity self-parodier enjoys. It more that, from the title on down, “The Musk Who Fell To Earth” plays out more like a love letter to Musk than a proper Simpsons episode. It’s like some Simpsons writers met Musk at a TED talk, got smitten when they found out Musk was a fan, and turned an episode of the show over to him. Which would be less of a problem if the episode were well-thought-out and funny, Musk were an engaging comic presence, or the Simpsons themselves weren’t relegated to supporting status on their own show. There have been plenty of real-life plutocrats (your Zuckerbergs, your Murdochs, your Cubans, and your Bezos) who’ve deigned to lend their voices to The Simpsons over the years, but traditionally only as drop-in supporting characters, not as the driving force behind an entire episode. Here, the decision to let Musk be the center of every plot point and character beat is deadening, not the least because of Musk’s flat, emotionless voice. (And no, having Homer call out Musk’s “flat, emotionless voice” at the end of the episode doesn’t change things.) Again, which wouldn’t necessarily be an issue if the show found a way to make that work in service of the comedy, or if the show around Musk were inventive on its own. Instead, the episode begins with an extended gag about the Simpsons trapping the bald eagle that’s been feasting on the sparrows at Lisa’s bird feeder—only for Musk’s personal spaceship to vaporize the poor (if vicious) thing as he lands in the Simpsons’ backyard. With no couch gag his week, the hope is always that the body of the episode has too much story to waste, but once Musk lands and discovers that Homer’s nonsensical ramblings help break through his inventor’s block, instead we get a scattershot, innocuous episode which indulges its guest star to a handicapping degree. Having befriended Homer, Musk accompanies him to the nuclear plant, where his ideas for improvement intrigue Mr. Burns enough that he teams up with Musk to bring Springfield into line with Musk’s futuristic plans, including a Futurama-stye tube transport system, driverless cars, Willie powering Springfield Elementary by turning a huge gear while wearing a loincloth, and the “Glayvenator,” whose unveiling causes Professor Frink to wail, “All those years of glayvening in my basement—all for naught!” It’s all mildly amusing, with the punchline being the utter impracticality of Musk’s inventions which, cool though they are, end up costing Burns $50 million a quarter and plunging Springfield into a new Depression. But whatever satire there is in pointing out the seemingly intractable war between idealistic and practical uses of science is diffused pretty hard by Musk’s front-and-center presence on the show. Sure, Musk’s inventions are impractical, but Musk’s imprimatur on the jokes lends an “all in good fun” tone to the episode that renders it irrelevant. Musk’s exit pronouncement “We sacrifice now to take care of the future in a way totally determined by me” might have some bite if he were a minor character, or if he weren’t involved in the show. (The same goes for his PowerPoint presentation: “No upside for years. Makes no financial sense but it’s cool. A terrible sacrifice now...That future generations may appreciate.”) As it is, his presence makes any joke at his expense an exercise in flattery. You can practically watch the show evaporate in front of you while you watch it. It’s especially disappointing (and strange) that the Simpsons themselves have almost nothing to do with the main story. Homer serves as oblivious muse, and Lisa looks to the lonely, frustrated Musk as a kindred spirit (trying to stow away on his rocket at the end, she’s ejected, confessing sheepishly, “I just wanted to see if there was a better life—even for a little bit”), but that’s all the character development we get.

There was a wonderful documentary called The Royal Family made in 1969. I was six when I saw it and it amazed me seeing the Queen driving her Land Rover all over the place...taking her kids to the candy store, stuff like that. Unfortunately they haven't allowed it to be seen more than once since. This is a very short clip but study it carefully. The Queen looked like a fucking star in 1969 and so did her hubby. Yes...you'll glimpse the kids back then too and the visit to the sweet shop and a barbecue by a lake, with the Queen fiddling with tupperware...the Queen telling her family a joke at the dinner table. (I linked this at the end of another thread and then thought, MY GOD this deserves its own thread!...so here it is). I'm sorry the clip's so short, but something's better than nothing, I think you'll agree.

(half of a 30mg) i tried it. i liked it but stopped last fall cause i was too lazy to make the drive for the presciption. i never abused it. two weeks ago i started again. and again i think its amazing, max half 30mg. its been around for years. they give like riatlin to kids. and has NO side affects. but you really focus and get shit done. no delaying on things, you wake up, ok, i am doing this this and this. i think its great

The Following starring Kevin Bacon started tonight on Fox. He plays a former FBI agent. James Purefoy stars as a killer. It is being called a psychological drama.
Very handsome TV and now film actor. I found this interesting post about him on the "Celebrities you have seen at Gay Bars, etc." thread: [quote](baseball cap, very much on the down low) at a straight bar on Sixth Avenue. This was about 5 years ago. He came in chatted up this guy at the bar and left in a hurry. I went up to the guy to ask what happened, and he said that it was a Craigslist hook-up that didn't work out. Daniel freaked out when the hook-up recognized who he was. Daniel is 41, never married and has no children. He is so pretty, his lips especially. Why isn't he more famous, if not for his looks alone?

Check out the link. Is this how narcissistic, self-impressed and vain we have become? That we post a cutesy photo of ourselves on Instagram only to Tweet and Facebook about it seconds later? Then we wait for the comments and compliments to follow. Is this what the fucking world has become? Our self worth is based on how many followers we have and how desperately they kiss our asses? The world has gone from self-entitled to self-impressed. Rant complete.

[quote]A British Army general who is secretly gay plans to reveal his sexuality after being angered by a colleague’s warning that such an admission would amount to career suicide. In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, the general – who is married with children – takes issue with the Army’s insistence that gay and lesbian soldiers no longer face discrimination. [quote]He said: ‘The Armed Forces cannot claim it is an equal opportunities employer when the view persists that any senior officer who announces he is gay will see his or her career go up in smoke.’ A veteran of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with nearly 30 years’ service, he is the most senior officer to admit he is gay, and the first British Army general to do so. [quote]Throughout his career, he has kept the truth about his sexuality secret from all but a ‘handful of very close friends’. He told his wife some years ago and ‘after a great deal of soul searching’ they decided to stay together. ‘We love each other deeply,’ he said. ‘I never considered outing myself until another very senior officer said he believed that admission of homosexuality by a senior officer would be career suicide,’ he said.
Did anyone watch it? What did you think of the episode? What did you think of Peter Capaldi as the new doctor?
Are there any still around? They all closed in my area years ago.
Please?
He's STILL around! Apparently they haven't received the message that he's been panned from TV to websites. He looks like your slightly creepy, drunk uncle. How/why are these commercials? Who's the demo they're going for?
For me, Italian Americans. Hot, hairy, loud, passionate. If only they'd like me...
I saw the video at the link via Seduced by the New, and immediately fell in love. Apparently he is a HUGE star in Ireland, and his US debut is being pushed hard. He was on SNL last week, but I didn't watch it yet. I literally heard the song 2 hours ago, and just heard it again featured in a Beats by Dre commercial. The song is called "Take Me To Church" and the videos features a hate crime against two gay men. It's a brutal, fantastic song and the video pushes it over the edge. The singer is gorgeous, and his view of gay rights is excellent. Oh my god, I just mentally compared him to Jeff Buckley. He's that good.

An 11-year-old South Carolina boy is facing an arson charge after allegedly setting a fire inside a Walmart that caused millions of dollars in damages to the business, police report. The boy’s 13-year-old cousin has also been charged in connection with the December 31 blaze. According to investigators, the boy stole a lighter while inside the Columbia store and, with his cousin, used it to set a fire in the Walmart’s greeting card aisle. The ensuing blaze caused significant damage to the store, though no injuries were reported. In an effort to identify suspects in the arson, police Thursday released Walmart surveillance images, including a photo (seen at right) showing the boy and girl entering the store on New Year’s Eve. On Friday, the parents of the respective suspects turned the minors in to police. Each child was charged with third degree arson, a felony. The boy was also charged with shoplifting the lighter. The children were subsequently released into their parents’s custody. The fire forced Walmart to close temporarily for repairs, but the store has since reopened.

Don’t have Amazon Prime? The ecommerce colossus will let you binge-watch all 10 episodes of “Transparent,” the Golden Globe-winning series starring Jeffrey Tambor, for one day only. On Saturday, Jan. 24, the series will be free to all visitors via the Amazon Prime Instant Video service, which normally requires a $99-per-year subscription to the company’s Prime free-shipping program. Amazon says the promo is a “celebration” of the Globes wins, but it’s really a stunt to drive people to sign up for the Prime service. Also on Saturday, the company will offer Amazon Prime for $72 annually, a 27% discount from the regular price. “Transparent,” from indie filmmaker Jill Soloway, won the Golden Globe for best TV musical or comedy series and Tambor won for best actor in the category. The dramedy tells the story of an L.A. family, the Pfeffermans, whose father, played by Tambor, comes out as transgendered to their adult children. Soloway, an alum of HBO’s “Six Feet Under” and winner of best director at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, is showrunner and director. Following the Golden Globes wins, according to Amazon, the average number of Prime users watching “Transparent” grew more than 250%. But, as usual, Amazon is not released actual viewing figures. “Transparent” is currently listed as the No. 1 most popular show on Prime Instant Video. Amazon has greenlit a second season of “Transparent,” but has not announced a premiere date. “We’re incredibly proud of everyone involved in the making of ‘Transparent’ — the team took a risk and it paid off,” Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com, said in a statement. “Big kudos and congrats to Jill, Jeffrey, and all the cast and crew.”

The Overtoun Bridge in Dumbarton, Scotland, has been described as picturesque, overlooking a rolling valley, rich with vibrant forests. But it's a place that carries a dark legacy of doggy suicide. Over the past fifty years, fifty dogs have leapt--seemingly without warning--over the bridge's edge, many falling fifty feet to their deaths. Most of these suicidal leaps have happened from the same section of the bridge, on the right-hand side between its two final parapets. Even stranger, all of the dogs who have died this way have been long-nosed breeds like Labradors, collies, and retrievers. Some say the bridge is haunted, and insist it's this creepy catalyst that also spurred a local man to hurl his infant son--who he believed to be the anti-Christ--off its side in 1994. After all, Overtoun is Celtic for "the thin place," an area where this world and the next are said to be close.

Looking to download some fun music tonight. Pet Shop Boys, Scissor Sisters, Bronski Beat - along those lines. Inspired by HBO's "Looking" using "Thursday" by PSB at the end of the first episode of this season. Only want to spend about $30-40. So recommendations for songs (including particular version if there are remixes), albums, compilations, EPs. There's a lot of music out there. Would probably be better to pick and choose among songs and not buy whole albums. Yet, if there's an album or compilation that you think is worth buying the whole thing, let me know. Thanks, bitches.

Ok, so my husband bought a generator. I said to him, "You know you can't keep that in the garage if it needs to be used, right?" "Right." "So if it needs to be used but it's raining or snowing outside, what do you do?" "Cover it." "Cover it with what? You have to be careful with a generator because it gets hot and it puts out CO." And he mumbled something and walked away. I really don't know much about these things because I lived in the city all my life. But I know that people rig things with fans and vents and make generator shelters. Because I don't think you can just plunk a generator outside and run it if it's raining or snowing, right? Or can you?

My dearest, bestest ever gay friend- no sex, just pure love- called me to tell me his horrifying and humiliating story. To understand, you must picture an averagely handsome, tall but not athletic, slightly disheveled borderline aspie (his term) with zero rhythm. His dad lives a few houses down the street. Mid 60s, super guy, very pro-gay, very not hip. He is cleaning his house today and singing Sia's "Chandelier" and doing the interpretative dance from the video when he notices his dad is standing at his sliding glass door watching him. He turned around for a second, and then his dad was gone. He wants me to help him explain exactly what was happening and his strange behavior. I started laughing and he said "You're going to go post that on that damn website, aren't you" and hung up. I'm still laughing.

Americans bought 1.26 billion movie tickets in 2014, according to preliminary estimates published by The Hollywood Reporter. It sounds like a big number, but for the film industry, it's frighteningly low — a five percent decline since last year, and the largest year-over-year drop in nearly a decade. Most importantly, it's the lowest attendance figure since 1995, suggesting dire news for a film industry still struggling with digital piracy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The National Association of Theater Owners hasn't released it's full figures (including average ticket price), so it's difficult to say how the attendance numbers will translate into total gross. In recent years, higher ticket prices for features like 3D, Imax and HDR have helped offset lower attendance for many theater owners. Still, industry experts expect similar declines in total box office revenue, painting a dire picture for the industry at large. The brightest spots this year came from the film industry's increasingly powerful franchises. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy was the year's highest grossing film at $332 million in domestic box office, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part One finishing close behind.

Just got back from seeing "Belle" and am hopelessly in lust with Sam Reid. I didn't realize it was the same guy from "Anonymous" and "The Railway Man" -- but, omg, he's so unbelievably gorgeous. And that voice! I was pretty much a puddle of goo by the time movie was over. What do we know about him?
Yesterday was the premiere of season 10, after 9 criminally overlooked seasons. (At least the show has a strong cult following, I suppose.) Any thoughts? I thought the first episode was okay. I guess I was a little underwhelmed, considering it was the big season premiere, but it definitely had its funny bits. I hope the next few are better. Really, though, I just want to see Charlie Day every week. I have a somewhat inexplicable crush on Charlie Day.

Despite bringing new opportunities in the short term, the sheen of an Oscar victory can sometimes only last so long. Just ask two-time winner Dianne Wiest. The 66-year-old actress, who begins previews Tuesday for off-Broadway production Rasheeda Speaking, told the New York Times she is facing money issues due to a lack of high-paying work. "I have to move out of my apartment soon," Wiest said of her struggle to cover her rent. She earned Oscars for best supporting actress for 1986's Hannah and Her Sisters and 1994's Bullets Over Broadway, both directed by Woody Allen. But after that, she found she was only getting offered roles to play "a nice mom, and that's it. That's all that ever came, except in theater." Wiest, who was the focus of one of the vignettes in 2007's David Wain-directed comedy The Ten, added that she doesn't plan on trying to write her own roles. "I think that if it's meant to happen, it will happen,” she said. “Which is I guess a real sign of stupidity." Her recent credits include the Al Pacino-starring The Humbling, released Friday, and 2012's The Odd Life of Timothy Green, along with a 2014 episode of NBC's The Blacklist.

Here''s mine:\ \ To much money in to few hands. The wealthy owning class pays the working classes less in wages, and then turn around and lend them the money they need to increase their standard of living. When the working classes can no longer take on any more debt, demand dries up, the economy crashes.\ \ The other piece of this is that you have money in wealthy private hands that SHOULD be taxed away in order to be put to better use in the public sector for infrastructure, education, poverty reduction, etc. How can anyone imagine that the money is being more efficiently used, when we can now see that the wealthy tuck their trillions away in hedge funds, and all this cash is sloshing around the planet looking searching for the highest return where labor is cheapest? Woudn''t these funds be put to much better use if were taxed and used to put in sewer systems in major American cities for the first time since 1865?

John W. "Jack" Hinson, "Old Jack" (1807–1874) was a farmer in Stewart County, Tennessee who operated as a Confederate partisan sniper against Union forces in the Between-the-Rivers region of Tennessee and Kentucky during the American Civil War. Hinson, a prosperous plantation owner of Scotch-Irish descent, was neutral at the outbreak of the war but took up arms after two of his sons were executed as suspected bushwhackers by Federal troops; their heads were cut off and stuck on the gate-posts to Hinson's home.[1] Hinson used a custom made 50 caliber 41-inch barrel Kentucky Long Rifle to target Union soldiers more than a half-mile away on land, transports, and gunboats along the Tennessee River and the Cumberland River, killing as many as a hundred. Hinson also served as a guide for Nathan Bedford Forrest in his assault on the Union supply center at Johnsonville, Tennessee in November 1864. He was the father of Robert Hinson, who served as the leader of a highly effective partisan band in the Between-the-Rivers region until his death in combat on September 18, 1863. Jack Hinson was never apprehended despite the commitment of elements of four Union regiments to pursue him, and survived the war, dying on 28 April 1874 (according to the 16 May 1874 Clarkville Weekly Chronicle, via the Dover Record) in the White Oak/Magnolia area of Houston county, Tennessee. He is buried in the family plot in the Cane Creek Cemetery (with a different birth year of 1793 and death year of 1873), just off White Oak road (near McKinnon, Tennessee). A marker was placed in the Boyd Cemetery far away to the North, in the Land-Between-the Lakes (LBL) area.

Major step in averting another financial meltdown in what Merkel calls "the greatest crisis since World War II." [bold]Europe Agrees to Basics of Plan to Resolve Euro Crisis[/bold] By STEVEN ERLANGER and STEPHEN CASTLE BRUSSELS — European leaders, in a significant step toward resolving the euro zone financial crisis, early Thursday morning obtained an agreement from banks to take a 50 percent loss on the face value of their Greek debt. The agreement on Greek debt was crucial to assembling a comprehensive package to protect the euro, which has been keeping jittery markets on edge. The accord was reached just before 4 a.m. after difficult bargaining. The severe reduction would bring Greek debt down by 2020 to 120 percent of that nation’s gross domestic product, a figure still enormous but more sustainable for an economy driven into recession by austerity measures. The leaders agreed on Wednesday on a plan to force the Continent’s banks to raise new capital to insulate them from potential sovereign debt defaults. But there was little detail on how the Europeans would enlarge their bailout fund to achieve their goal of $1.4 trillion to better protect Italy and Spain. After all the buildup to this summit meeting, failure here would have been a disaster. While the plan to require banks to raise new capital was generally approved without difficulty — banks will be forced to raise about $150 billion to protect themselves against losses on loans to shaky countries like Greece and Portugal — the negotiations over the Greek debt were difficult. “The results will be a source of huge relief to the world at large, which was waiting for a decision,” President Nicolas Sarkozy of France said. Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany said: “I believe we were able to live up to expectations, that we did the right thing for the euro zone, and this brings us one step farther along the road to a good and sensible solution.” In the face of considerable pressure from Europe’s leaders, the banks had been resisting requests that they voluntarily accept a loss of about 50 percent on their Greek loans, far more than the 21 percent agreed to previously. But after months of denying that Greece would have to restructure its large debt, which was trading at 40 percent of face value, European leaders forced the much larger reduction, known as a “haircut,” on the banks, while the International Monetary Fund promised more aid to Greece. Germany had taken a tougher stance than France with the banks. Mrs. Merkel was willing to think about imposing an involuntary write-down on the private sector, but Mr. Sarkozy remained worried about the consequences on the markets and the banking system. In a statement, Charles Dallara, managing director of the Institute of International Finance, which represents the major banks, said he welcomed the deal. He called it “a comprehensive package of measures to stabilize Europe, to strengthen the European banking system and to support Greece’s reform effort.” In a meeting described as crucial for the fate of the euro zone, the leaders had been trying to restore market confidence in the euro and in the creditworthiness of the 17 countries that use it. In what the leaders saw as an important first step, banks would be required under the recapitalization plan to raise $147 billion by the end of June — enough to increase their holdings of safe assets to 9 percent of their total capital. That percentage is regarded as crucial to assure investors of the banks’ financial health, given their large portfolios of sovereign debt. German lawmakers voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to authorize Mrs. Merkel to negotiate an expansion in an emergency bailout fund to $1.4 trillion, more than double its current size of about $610 billion. The vote followed Mrs. Merkel’s plea that the lawmakers overcome their aversion to risk and put Germany, Europe’s strongest economy, firmly behind efforts to combat the crisis, which has unnerved financial markets far beyond the Continent.

I just got a Chromecast and they gave me a 2-month free trial for Hulu Positive and a 3-month free trial for DramaFever. I've never watched a T-drama before but I started streaming "In Time With You" on a whim because the description said it also had a gay character, and Wow, I got completely sucked in and binge-watched the entire season. The show is intelligent, poignant, character-driven and has a lot to say about love, friendship, relationships, customer service, parents, and growing old. I can't believe how much I loved it. Ariel is my favorite T-actress and Bolin is amazing. He's so so not my type but his personality on the show, coupled with his smile, his dimples and the facial expressions he makes (especially his wedding picture), has completely won me over and I now think he's the ideal boyfriend. Everyone needs a Li Daren in their life. Now that it's over, I need to find something similar to stream. What are other good shows to stream on DramaFever?

Today, lots of people woke up in shock and horror to what happened in Cyprus: a forced capital reallocation mandated by political elites under the guise of an "equity investment" in insolvent banks, which is really code for a "coercive, mandatory wealth tax." If less concerned about political correctness, one could say that what just happened was daylight robbery from savers to banks and the status quo. These same people may be even more shocked to learn that today's Cypriot "resolution" is merely the first of many such coercive interventions into personal wealth, first in Europe, and then everywhere else. Bank Runs, a scared populace- didn't they fix this? This will be another disaster for the euro- it needs to die. ------ For the benefit of those people, we wish to point them to our article from September 2011, "The "Muddle Through" Has Failed: BCG Says "There May Be Only Painful Ways Out Of The Crisis", which predicted and explained all of this and much more. What else did the September BCG study conclude? Simply that such mandatory, coercive wealth tax is merely the beginning for a world in which there was some $21 trillion in excess debt as of 2009, a number which has since ballooned to over $30 trillion. And with inflation woefully late in appearing and "inflating away" said debt overhang, Europe first is finally moving to Plan B, and is using Cyrprus as its Guniea Pig.

People thought I was either having a seizure or a stroke. Instead it was dystonia, which was brought on by a medication I took. If you don't know what dystonia is: [quote]Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder, in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. The movements may resemble a tremor. Dystonia is often initiated or worsened by voluntary movements, and symptoms may “overflow” into adjacent muscles. I was found on my bed acting like a possessed 12-year-old Linda Blair. It got to the point where I couldn't control my jaw, and I could no longer swallow. My head kept rocking side to side into the mattress. My body looked like a craftmatic bed. My legs and my head were almost hitting one another. I'm all bruised from my arm constantly bashing itself into the wooden footboard. I loved being strapped down when they took me out to drive me to the hospital. I had been having problems before with falling due to dizziness. That should have been a sign, I guess. Has anyone dealt with dystonia, or know someone who has? Mine was from medication, but others have it chronically.

House Speaker John Boehner's invitation of Israe1i Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak before Congress on Iran is an unprecedented rebuke of President Barack Obama as he and Congress are preparing for a battle over Iran sanctions, experts told TPM. The move came the day after Obama threatened in his State of the Union address to veto legislation putting new sanctions on Iran. He warned that new sanctions by Congress would disrupt the negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) acknowledged the week before that ending negotiations "is very much an intended consequence" of a new sanctions bill that has been put forward with some Democratic support. Although the US and Israe1 maintain a "special relationship," the discord between the Obama administration and Netanyahu's government has been well documented. Netanyahu welcomed 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in a visit Israe1 in the midst of the campaign. And anonymous Obama administration officials have been quoted calling the Israe1i prime minster "a chickenshit." But even with that context, experts on American-Israe1i relations expressed shock that Boehner had invited Netanyahu to address Congress on Iran next month. One described it as an effort to "humiliate" and "embarrass" Obama as the two sides dig in over Iran. The invitation from the Ohio Republican positions Congress, rather than the White House, as Israe1's ally. "It's unprecedented. It's hitting below the belt. It's taking partisanship to a whole new level," Guy Ziv, a professor at American University who has studied U.S.-Israeli relations, told TPM. "It is a way for them to embarrass and humiliate the Obama administration." It does track, though, with a broader trend of Israe1 becoming an area of partisan divide in a way that it hasn't always been. "My reaction was that 'Wow, Boehner really wanted to bigfoot President Obama's State of the Union address," Matt Duss, president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace, which advocates for a two-state solution, told TPM. "It's part of a pattern we've seen, taking the Israe1 issue and using it as a partisan wedge." Foreign leaders, including Netanyahu, have addressed joint sessions of Congress before. But the transparently political element of having Netanyahu, who has been a forceful critic at times of the international negotiations with Iran, speak on this specific topic and at this particular time makes the invitation from Boehner distinct from those past examples. "It has a symbolic meaning that is not very positive in the long run," Yoram Peri, who served as senior adviser to former Israe1i Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and is now a professor at the University of Maryland, told TPM, "because we know there is a major difference of opinion between the House and the president." Netanyahu's forays into American politics have a long history; he would sometimes align himself with the Newt Gingrich-led Republican Congress in the 1990s. But the Boehner invite still struck those familiar with the issue as wholly different given its political symbolism. The White House even called it a breach of protocol, according to the Associated Press. "It's moving behind-closed-doors politics into the public arena," Peri said. Or as Ziv put it: "They've taken it to a whole different level." Others, however, argued that while there was certainly a political element to Wednesday's theatrics, it is important to remember that Republicans and the Israe1i government do have substantive policy differences with Obama on the Iranian question -- even if personal acrimony might be adding to these public disputes. "This seems to have become very public and very personal. That kind of nastiness adds an edge to it," Jonathan Rynhold, a politics professor at Bar-Ilan University near Tel Aviv, told TPM. "But it also shouldn't be dismissed as politically maneuvering. There's a very, very serious foreign policy issue at stake. There's a really genuine disagreement." Netanyahu's visit would also come about a month before Israe1i's March 17 elections, and he has received substantial contributions from Americans, as BuzzFeed reported earlier this month. But as TPM's Josh Marshall noted, there is some evidence that his perch as prime minster might be precarious as voters head to the polls. Congress' embrace of Netanyahu therefore allows him to assume the role of international statesman and play to some internal Israe1i skepticism about the Obama administration's stance toward Iran, the Palestinian peace process and other Middle East issues. "The one thing that the opposition can play is, 'Look, you're screwing up relations with the United States.' But if Netanyahu's invited, then that's moot," Rynhold said. "It's a good time, it's a good issue. It works politically because it's founded on what these people actually think." Ziv even suggested that Republicans were rewarding Netanyahu for his tacit support of Romney in 2012. It will undoubtedly play well with a substantial part of the Israe1i electorate. "This will really demonstrate that the other candidates are not as his level," Ziv said. "Who else has close friends in Congress? This shows gravitas."
Boehner's Netanyahu Invite Is An 'Unprecedented' Diss Of Obama

When I woke up this morning I realized I'd done something that wasn't a dream. I'm on Ambien and last night after I took a pill I signed up for one of those sites where you can check to see if someone has a criminal record. I can't believe in my Ambien induced state I was able to type a credit card # onto my iPad (something I have trouble doing normally) and looked up about five friends. They're all clean as a whistle. I feel horrible that I did it, but I'm blaming the drugs.

[bold]Pro-LGBT Colorado baker slapped with religious discrimination complaint[/bold] It was an hour into her shift when Lindsay Jones, a pastry chef at Denver’s Azucar Bakery, turned her attention from the full lobby to the “older, professional-looking” gentleman who’d just walked in. There was nothing strange in his demeanor as he sidled up to the counter to place an order. In fact, he was friendly and his request for a Bible-shaped cake seemed simple enough. Azucar’s owner, Marjorie Silva, tells Out Front that her employees are no strangers to Christian-themed requests and regularly fill them. Cake“We make [Christian-themed] cakes all the time,” she says. “No problem at all.” The gentleman took a seat at one of the tables as the team served him free samples and began building his order. He swiped through pics of Bible cakes on the iPad they presented him, and it appeared he’d found the perfect fit. It was only when he produced a leaf of paper from his pocket — careful not to release it to any of the attending employees, but simply brandishing it for them to read before returning it to his pocket — that the order “got a little uncomfortable,” says Lindsay. “He wanted us to write God hates …” she trails. “Just really radical stuff against gays.” “He wouldn’t allow me to make a copy of the message, but it was really hateful,” Marjorie adds. “I remember the words detestable, disgrace, homosexuality, and sinners.” However uncomfortable the request made the pair, both maintain that he was never refused service. “I told him that I would bake the cake in the shape of a Bible,” says Marjorie. “Then I told him I’d sell him a [decorating] bag with the right tip and the right icing so he could write those things himself.” She adds that naturally the cake wouldn’t have her handwriting expertise, but she would be devastated to release a cake via the bakery with such a hateful message fashioned by her own hands. Table-side negotiations quickly broke down. “He told me I needed to talk to my attorney about this,” Marjorie says. Then, he left. A few hours later, however, he was back, asking Marjorie if she’d conferred with her lawyer over the matter. She hadn’t. “I was busy,” she says. “I have a business to run here.” The sweet-toothed patrons in the bakery’s dining room began to take notice of the confrontational man in the lobby and again, Marjorie offered to bake him the cake and sell him the appropriate tools to complete the task himself. Though she thankfully admits their banter never devolved into yelling, she says it’s clear the man was comfortable creating a scene. He left upon request once more, still visibly upset, and Marjorie hoped that was the end of it. She says that one of her guests misheard the confrontation and thought Marjorie was refusing to bake a gay wedding cake. Exhausted, she reassured the patron that he was mistaken and that she would never do such a thing. “We’ve done lots of gay weddings,” Marjorie — who describes herself as “half-Jewish, half-Catholic” — tells us. “I love all people!” The third time the gentleman entered the store that day, Marjorie called for backup, asking her brother to excuse him. “I think he was looking for trouble at that point,” Lindsay interjects, adding that it appeared he was trying to rile up the staff. “He was being really pushy and disruptive about his order.” Azucar’s customers watched the embarrassing ordeal, and again the man agreed to go. “He said, ‘You will hear from me!’ and I got scared,” Marjorie says. “I was worried he was going to follow me — you can tell who I am in our big, pink van.” And Marjorie did hear from the man again, but — much to her relief — it was through a letter filed with Colorado’s Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA). The letter explained that a discrimination complaint had been filed against the bakery and that she would need to respond with her account of what happened the afternoon of March 13, 2014.
Famous t.v. exchange of Jack Ruby with reporters where he explained that if Adlai Stevenson had been V.P., and not LBJ, then JFK would not have been killed:
Does he slightly remind anyone of Heath Ledger or a Heath Ledger-type? He's another Aussie who has the same style and demeanor as the former. I saw people mentioning him on here and looked him up on Youtube. He also seems to be crossing over from young performer to adult actor, just as Ledger did. Just curious.
I haven't been this certain of a film's Oscar outcome since Schindler's List. Selma is not only an important film, it's a great film. I saw it today and was wowed. Very powerful, very effective, very well done. Ava DuVernay is going to make Oscar history as the first black woman to win Best Director and to direct a Best Picture winner. Also, I think the Best Actor race is going to come down to a dogfight between Michael Keaton and David Oyelowo. I wouldn't be surprised if it picks up a supporting nod or two, for Carmen Ejogo and/or Tom Wilkinson.
...All of this presents a very big problem for HarperCollins. Ventura’s lawyers believe they can prove that American Sniper’s massive success was spurred, at least initially, by interest in the Ventura story. Under normal circumstances, HarperCollins might fight back by arguing that the story is true. But therein lies the brilliance of Ventura’s maneuvering: A jury has already determined that the Ventura tale is false and defamatory, meaning HarperCollins is legally barred from rearguing its veracity. As a result, HarperCollins must instead argue that it did not act with “reckless disregard” for the truth of Kyle’s claims, and that no part of the company’s profits arose from interest in the Ventura story. Those questions, of course, must be left for a jury to decide. But it does not look very good for HarperCollins. Don’t pity the publishers too much, though. In the midst of this legal drama, the movie adaption of American Sniper has shattered box office records and brought in well over US$100-million. HarperCollins is sure to make a killing off royalties from the film, and off sales from the new movie tie-in edition of American Sniper. Even if Ventura wins millions in his second lawsuit, the publishing house may well walk away from this debacle with a healthy profit remaining, just as Kyle’s widow will do. The moral of Kyle’s story, then: It pays to lie.
American Sniper Chris Kyle was proved a liar by Jesse Ventura

A new book reports that two days before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that officially brought the United States into World War II, President Roosevelt was warned about such a possible attack in a memo from naval intelligence. U.S. News' Paul Bedard writes more about the story: In the newly revealed 20-page memo from FDR's declassified FBI file, the Office of Naval Intelligence on December 4 warned, "In anticipation of open conflict with this country, Japan is vigorously utilizing every available agency to secure military, naval and commercial information, paying particular attention to the West Coast, the Panama Canal and the Territory of Hawaii." The memo comes from Craig Shirley's new book, December 1941: 31 Days that Changed America and Saved the World, which also reports that the Japanese were building a network of spies through their U.S. embassies and consulates. However, Shirley doesn't blame FDR for failing to act on the memo; instead, he compares the Roosevelt administration's inaction to the executive branch's failure to act on pre-9/11 intelligence. In each instance, Shirley contends, the evidence suggests "that there were more pieces to the puzzle" that the White House missed in the days and weeks leading up to the attack. "So many mistakes through so many levels of Washington," said Shirley. "Some things never change." And in a bit of unusually related news, 45,000 residents will evacuate a town in Germany after the discovery of one of the largest unexploded bombs in history. Stars and Stripes reports the 4,000 pound bomb, with more than 3,000 pounds of attached explosives, was dropped on the town of Koblenz by the British Royal Air Force during the war. The bomb was discovered in the Rhine River, where water levels have dropped due to lack of rain. A 275-pound American bomb was also discovered nearby.

“As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air – however slight – lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.” Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas No matter what the politicians say about how great America is and how we, as a people, will always triumph, the fact is that the nation seems to be imploding. Despite the dire state of our nation, however, you can rest assured that none of the problems that continue to plague our lives and undermine our freedoms will be addressed by our so-called elected representatives in any credible, helpful way, and certainly not during a State of the Union address. Consider the following facts: Our government is massively in debt.Currently, the national debt is somewhere in the vicinity of $18 trillion. More than a third of our debt is owned by foreign countries, namely China and Japan. Our education system is abysmal. Despite the fact that we spend more than most of the world on education ($115,000 per student), we rank 36th in the world when it comes to math, reading and science, far below most of our Asian counterparts. Even so, we continue to insist on standardized programs such as Common Core, which teach students to be test-takers rather than thinkers. Our homes provide little protection against government intrusions. Police agencies, already empowered to crash through your door if they suspect you’re up to no good, now have radars that allow them to “see” through the walls of your home. Our prisons, housing the largest number of inmates in the world and still growing, have become money-making enterprises for private corporations that rely on the inmates for cheap labor. We are no longer a representative republic. The U.S. has become a corporate oligarchy. As a recent survey indicates, our elected officials, especially those in the nation’s capital, represent the interests of the rich and powerful rather than the average citizen. We’ve got the most expensive, least effective health care system in the world compared to other western, industrialized nations. The air pollution levels are dangerously high for almost half of the U.S. population, putting Americans at greater risk of premature death, aggravated asthma, difficulty breathing and future cardiovascular problems. Despite outlandish amounts of money being spent on the nation’s “infrastructure,” there are more than 63,000 bridges—one out of every 10 bridges in the country—in urgent need of repair. Some of these bridges are used 250 million times a day by trucks, school buses, passenger cars and other vehicles. Americans know little to nothing about their rights or how the government is supposed to operate. This includes educators and politicians. For example, 27 percent of elected officials cannot name even one right or freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment, while 54 percent do not know the Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war. Nearly one out of every three American children live in poverty, ranking us among the worst in the developed world. Patrolled by police, our schools have become little more than quasi-prisons in which kids as young as age 4 are being handcuffed for “acting up,” subjected to body searches and lockdowns, and suspended for childish behavior. We’re no longer innocent until proven guilty. In our present surveillance state, that burden of proof has now been shifted so that we are all suspects to be spied on, searched, scanned, frisked, monitored, tracked and treated as if we’re potentially guilty of some wrongdoing or other. Parents, no longer viewed as having an inherent right to raise their children as they see fit, are increasingly being arrested for letting their kids walk to the playground alone, or play outside alone. Similarly, parents who challenge a doctor’s finding or request a second opinion regarding their children’s health care needs are being charged with medical child abuse and, in a growing number of cases, losing custody of their children to the government. Private property means little at a time when SWAT teams and other government agents can invade your home, break down your doors, kill your dog, wound or kill you, damage your furnishings and terrorize your family. Likewise, if government officials can fine and arrest you for growing vegetables in your front yard, praying with friends in your living room, installing solar panels on your roof, and raising chickens in your backyard, you’re no longer the owner of your property. Court rulings undermining the Fourth Amendment and justifying invasive strip searches have left us powerless against police empowered to forcefully draw our blood, forcibly take our DNA, strip search us, and probe us intimately. Accounts are on the rise of individuals—men and women alike—being subjected to what is essentially government-sanctioned rape by police in the course of “routine” traffic stops. Americans can no longer rely on the courts to mete out justice. The courts were established to intervene and protect the people against the government and its agents when they overstep their bounds. Yet the courts increasingly march in lockstep with the police state, while concerned themselves primarily with advancing the government’s agenda, no matter how unjust or illegal. Americans have no protection against police abuse. It is no longer unusual to hear about incidents in which police shoot unarmed individuals first and ask questions later. What is increasingly common, however, is the news that the officers involved in these incidents get off with little more than a slap on the hands. If there is any absolute maxim by which the federal government seems to operate, it is that the American taxpayer always gets ripped off. This is true, whether you’re talking about taxpayers being forced to fund high-priced weaponrythat will be used against us, endless warsthat do little for our safety or our freedoms, or bloated government agencies such as the National Security Agency with its secret budgets, covert agendas and clandestine activities. Rubbing salt in the wound, even monetary awards in lawsuits against government officials who are found guilty of wrongdoing are paid by the taxpayer. Americans are powerless in the face of militarized police. In early America, government agents were not permitted to enter one’s home without permission or in a deceitful manner. And citizens could resist arrest when a police officer tried to restrain them without proper justification or a warrant. Daring to dispute a warrant with a police official today who is armed with high-tech military weapons would be nothing short of suicidal. Moreover, as police forces across the country continue to be transformed into extensions of the military, Americans are finding their once-peaceful communities transformed into military outposts, complete with tanks, weaponry, and other equipment designed for the battlefield. Now these are not problems that you can just throw money at, as most politicians are inclined to do. As I point out in my book A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, these are problems that will continue to plague our nation unless and until Americans wake up to the fact that we’re the only ones who can change things. For starters, we’ll need to actually pay attention to what’s going on around us, and I don’t mean by turning on the TV news, which is little more than government propaganda. Pay attention to what your local city councils are enacting. Pay attention to what your school officials are teaching and not teaching. Pay attention to whom your elected officials are allowing to wine and dine them. Most of all, stop acting like it really matters whether you vote for a Republican or Democrat, because it doesn’t, and start acting like citizens who expect the government to work for them, rather than the other way around. While that bloated beast called the federal government may not listen to you, you can have a great impact on your local governing bodies. This will mean gathering together with your friends and neighbors and, for example, forcing your local city council to start opposing state and federal programs that are ripping you off. And if need be, your local city council can refuse to abide by the dictates that continue to flow from Washington, DC. All of the signs point to something nasty up ahead. The time to act is now.

Publicists like to trot out the old "operatically trained" moniker whenever they want to show their singer supposedly has a powerful voice. Pat Benatar and Mariah Carey are two recently crowned "operatically trained" singers. Carey's whistle, whoever, is the furthest thing from what an opera singer would ever do. What does "operatically trained" really mean? A lesson or two? Sing using your diaphragm?
