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

Russian actor says gay people should be burned alive as 'a danger' to his children 13th December 2013, 2:19 PM; Joseph Patrick McCormick A Russian sitcom actor has caused controversy by telling fans this week that he thinks gay people are "a living danger" to his children, and that he would burn all gay people alive. Ivan Okhlobystin addressed fans of the Russian show 'Interns', which is directly influenced by the US show 'Scrubs', in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk, reports The Moscow Times. "I'd put them all alive in the oven ... it's a living danger to my children," he was quoted to have said, going on to rant about "gay fascism", and, calling gay people "faggots" and a "physical anomaly", saying they should be stripped of voting rights. The 47-year old is known across Russia as an extravagant personality in the media, and served as an Orthodox Christian priest until 2010, when his priesthood was suspended. He also made a brief bid for the Russian presidency in 2011, and pledged proceeds from a book towards the regime in Syria. Interns was rated the best television show of 2012 in Russia, in a state-run survey by VTsIOM, in December 2012. Earlier this week, a TV presenter who said gay people should not be allowed to donate sperm or blood, and that their hearts should not even be used, as they are "unfit for extending anyone's life", was appointed to run Vladimir Putin’s new TV network. In a fresh attempt to dismiss concerns about LGBT athletes attending February's Winter Olympics in the Russian city of Sochi, President Putin last month declared he was against "hatred" towards people of a "non-traditional sexual orientation" – whilst continuing to support the country’s homophobic legislation.
Russian actor says gay people should be burned alive as 'a danger' to his children
(CNN) -- To the families of the victims, Ethan Couch was a killer on the road, a drunken teenage driver who caused a crash that left four people dead. To the defense, the youth is himself a victim -- of "affluenza," according to one psychologist -- the product of wealthy, privileged parents who never set limits for the boy. To a judge, who sentenced Couch to 10 years' probation but no jail time, he's a defendant in need of treatment. The decision disappointed prosecutors and stunned victims' family members, who say they feel that Couch got off too easy. Prosecutors had asked for the maximum of 20 years behind bars. "Let's face it. ... There needs to be some justice here," Eric Boyles, who lost his wife and daughter, told CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" on Wednesday night. "For 25 weeks, I've been going through a healing process. And so when the verdict came out, I mean, my immediate reaction is -- I'm back to week 1. We have accomplished nothing here. My healing process is out the window," he said. Lawyers for Couch, 16, had argued that the teen's parents should share part of the blame for the crash because they never set limits for the boy and gave him everything he wanted. According to CNN affiliate WFAA, a psychologist called by the defense described Couch as a product of "affluenza." He reportedly testified that the teen's family felt wealth bought privilege, and that Couch's life could be turned around with one to two years of treatment and no contact with his parents. Couch was sentenced by a juvenile court judge Tuesday. If he violates the terms of his probation, he could face up to 10 years of incarceration, according to a statement from the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney's Office. Judge Jean Boyd told the court she would not release Couch to his parents, but would work to find the teen a long-term treatment facility. "There are absolutely no consequences for what occurred that day," said Boyles. "The primary message has to absolutely be that money and privilege can't buy justice in this country." His wife, Hollie Boyles, and daughter, Shelby, left their home to help Breanna Mitchell, whose SUV had broken down. Brian Jennings, a youth pastor, was driving past and also stopped to help. All four were killed when the teen's pickup plowed into the pedestrians. Couch's vehicle also struck a parked car, which then slid into another vehicle driving in the opposite direction. Two people riding in the bed of the teen's pickup were tossed in the crash and severely injured. One is no longer able to move or talk because of a brain injury, while the other suffered internal injuries and broken bones. "There is nothing the judge could have done to lessen the suffering for any of those families," said defense attorney Scott Brown, CNN affiliate KTVT reported. "(The judge) fashioned a sentence that is going to keep Ethan under the thumb of the justice system for the next 10 years," he said. "And if Ethan doesn't do what he's supposed to do, if he has one misstep at all, then this judge, or an adult judge when he's transferred, can then incarcerate him." Earlier on the night of the accident, June 15, Couch and some friends had stolen beer from a local Walmart. Three hours after the crash, tests showed he had a blood alcohol content of 0.24, three times the legal limit, according to the district attorney's office. "We are disappointed by the punishment assessed but have no power under the law to change or overturn it," said Assistant District Attorney Richard Alpert. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and we regret that this outcome has added to the pain and suffering they have endured." It is very rare, but not impossible, for prosecutors to challenge the sentence on the ground that it was too lenient, CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin said. "To give him a pass this time given the egregious nature of his conduct -- four deaths -- is just incomprehensible," she said. (Continued....)

I look SO much better and it is nice to feel good again, and look good in clothes. I still have belly fat though. Anyone know of any secrets that really concentrate on getting rid of it? I am wondering if it's just my age (48), or can this fat be blasted away? Help me Obi-Won Datalounge, you're my only hope.

Year-end lows for the president A year that began with President Barack Obama riding high after his re-election victory and inauguration ends with him in the biggest hole of his presidency. A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds the president with more Americans disapproving of his job performance than ever before; with half saying they’re either disappointed or dissatisfied with his presidency; and with 54% believing he’s facing a long-term setback. Perhaps more significantly, Obama has seen a drop in key presidential attributes, such as being honest and straightforward, being able to handle a crisis and being able to achieve his goals. “These are tough and sobering numbers for the president and his administration,” said Democratic pollster Fred Yang, who conducted the survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff. While the past year has presented Obama with several different challenges – the agency scandal inside the Internal Revenue Service, the leaking of National Security Agency information, the government shutdown in October–the main culprit for his current woes has been the bungled health-care rollout. Indeed, for the first time in the poll, a majority now views the health law as a bad idea instead of a good one. “Make no mistake: the president has been weighed down by one issue – his health-care law,” Yang adds. But 2013 hasn’t been a kind year to Congress, either, as a majority of respondents call it “one of the worst” Congresses in history, which is the highest percentage ever saying this. Temporary drop or long-term setback? According to the poll, Obama’s overall job-approval rating stands at 43%, up 1 point from the previous NBC/WSJ survey conducted in late October. But 54% say they disapprove of his job, which is the highest mark in his presidency. In addition, for the second-straight survey, Obama’s favorable/unfavorable score is a net-negative (42% positive, 46% negative). And a combined 50% say they are either “disappointed” or “dissatisfied” with the president, versus a combined 28% who are “proud” or “satisfied.” Another 22% say they’re mixed. What’s more, just 28% give the president high grades for being able to achieve his goals (down 16 points from January); only 37% give him high marks for being honest and straightforward (down 5 points from June); and 44% give him high marks for being able to handle a crisis (down another 5 points since June). McInturff, the GOP pollster, compares these declining numbers to what happened to George W. Bush after his administration’s failed response to Hurricane Katrina, explaining that Bush afterward experienced a similar drop in job approval, in his favorable/unfavorable rating and in key presidential attributes. “We have a long way to go in [Obama’s] presidency,” McInturff says. But he calls Obama’s current poll numbers “a very critical inflection point.” Democratic pollster Yang counters, however, that the president is facing only one chief hurdle (health care) – like both Ronald Reagan (Iran-Contra) and Bill Clinton (Monica Lewinsky) encountered during their presidencies. By comparison, Yang adds, both Jimmy Carter (economy, energy shortages, Iran hostage crisis) and George W. Bush (Katrina, Iraq, 2008 financial collapse) faced multiple episodes that weighed down their years in office. “As health care goes, so goes the Obama presidency for next year,” Yang says. 50% say the health law is a bad idea But for now, the going on health care remains rough for the Obama White House. Only 34% believe the health law is a good idea (down 3 points from late October), while 50% say it’s a bad idea (the highest percentage here since the NBC/WSJ poll began asking this question). Also, by a 51%-to-43% margin, respondents say they are bothered more by the Obama administration’s troubled health care website and some Americans losing their health plans, rather than by the Republican Party’s continued efforts to undermine the law. And asked which one or two issues have been most important in shaping their views about the president, the top response was the health care law (58%) – followed by the economy (25%), the government shutdown (23%) and the situations in Syria and Iran (16%). McInturff says there are two silver linings for the Obama administration when it comes to health care. One, just a quarter of Americans (26%) believe the health care law “should be totally eliminated,” which is virtually unchanged from the last NBC/WSJ poll in late October. And two, 58% of respondents say the law hasn’t had much of an impact on them and their families, suggesting that the bad news associated with the health care rollout could be temporary. “The majority of people are telling us that it’s not affecting them,” McInturff says. “One of the worst” Congresses ever While respondents might be down on President Obama and his health-care law, many of them are downright disgusted at a Congress labeled the least productive in modern history. A majority – 51% – views the 113th Congress as “one of the worst” Congresses ever in terms of performance and accomplishments, the highest percentage answering that way on this NBC/WSJ poll question dating back to 1990. By comparison, 28% say it’s “below average,” 17% call it “average,” just 2% percent say it’s “above average,” and only 1% think it’s “one of the best” Congresses. The Republican Party also fares poorly in the poll when it comes to compassion and compromise. Respondents give Democrats a 28-point advantage over the GOP (45% to 17%) when asked which party does a better job showing compassion and concern for people. They also give Democrats a 12-point edge (31% to 19%) on which party is more willing to work with the opposition party to pass needed legislation. But the Democratic Party has narrower advantages on health care (6 points) and immigration (5 points). And the GOP holds a 10-point advantage on the economy (36% to 26%), which is its highest edge on the issue since 1994-1995. Economic optimism grows since the shutdown The GOP’s economic advantage comes as Americans have become more optimistic about the state of the economy since the government shutdown. Now, 29% say the economy will improve in the next year, which is up 12 points since early October when the shutdown began and up 6 points since late October. By contrast, 24% in the current survey say the economy will get worse, and 46% say it will stay the same. The NBC/WSJ poll was conducted Dec. 4-8 of 1,000 adults (including 300 cell phone-only respondents), and it has an overall margin of error of plus-minus 3.1 percentage points.

[bold]Three simple numbers that add up to global catastrophe - and that make clear who the real enemy is[/bold] If the pictures of those towering wildfires in Colorado haven't convinced you, or the size of your AC bill this summer, here are some hard numbers about climate change: June broke or tied 3,215 high-temperature records across the United States. That followed the warmest May on record for the Northern Hemisphere – the 327th consecutive month in which the temperature of the entire globe exceeded the 20th-century average, the odds of which occurring by simple chance were 3.7 x 10-99, a number considerably larger than the number of stars in the universe. Meteorologists reported that this spring was the warmest ever recorded for our nation – in fact, it crushed the old record by so much that it represented the "largest temperature departure from average of any season on record." The same week, Saudi authorities reported that it had rained in Mecca despite a temperature of 109 degrees, the hottest downpour in the planet's history. Not that our leaders seemed to notice. Last month the world's nations, meeting in Rio for the 20th-anniversary reprise of a massive 1992 environmental summit, accomplished nothing. Unlike George H.W. Bush, who flew in for the first conclave, Barack Obama didn't even attend. It was "a ghost of the glad, confident meeting 20 years ago," the British journalist George Monbiot wrote; no one paid it much attention, footsteps echoing through the halls "once thronged by multitudes." Since I wrote one of the first books for a general audience about global warming way back in 1989, and since I've spent the intervening decades working ineffectively to slow that warming, I can say with some confidence that we're losing the fight, badly and quickly – losing it because, most of all, we remain in denial about the peril that human civilization is in. When we think about global warming at all, the arguments tend to be ideological, theological and economic. But to grasp the seriousness of our predicament, you just need to do a little math. For the past year, an easy and powerful bit of arithmetical analysis first published by financial analysts in the U.K. has been making the rounds of environmental conferences and journals, but it hasn't yet broken through to the larger public. This analysis upends most of the conventional political thinking about climate change. And it allows us to understand our precarious – our almost-but-not-quite-finally hopeless – position with three simple numbers. (please see the link for the three numbers, and a discussion of each one... it's interesting, informative, and sobering)
An autopsy report released Thursday by the Los Angeles County coroner's office is raising new questions about the shooting death of veteran Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen. Chasen was found shot multiple times in her Mercedes coupe on a Beverly Hills street in November 2010. A year later, the Beverly Hills Police Department formally concluded that Chasen's shooting death was the result of a botched robbery by Harold Martin Smith, a small time ex-convict who had grown desperate for money. Police said Smith approached Chasen's car on his bike at a stopped traffic light at Sunset Boulevard and Whittier Drive and tried to rob her. But a section of the autopsy report released Thursday titled "Informant/Witness Statements" contradicts that conclusion. The report states that while Chasen was stopped at a red light at the intersection, "an unknown vehicle pulled up and someone fired approximately four gunshots into her vehicle." The killing shocked Hollywood's elite and prompted an outpouring of grief and tributes from friends and colleagues. The autopsy report could reignite conspiracy theories that swirled after her death, particulary among friends who never accepted the official police account. Smith fatally shot himself in Hollywood before police could bring him in for questioning. A spokesman for the Beverly Hills Police Department could not be immediately reached for comment Thursday.
Ronni Chasen Autopsy Report Contradicts Police Account of Her Death
Many years ago, I read a science fiction story about an alien representative that was missing one of the senses humans have -- sight, I think it was. However, this alien confided to someone at a party that his alien race had a sense that humans knew nothing about. He even said that he could do something to a human that would enable the human to experience this extra sense for a specified period of time -- 10 minutes? I'm not sure. And then that sense would be lost to the human forever. Does this story ring a bell for anyone? I, of course, can't remember an author or title, but I'd love to find it again.

The whole world went a bit doolally a week or so ago when Tom Daley took the brave decision to reveal to the public that he’s currently in a relationship with another guy. Everyone was well chuffed for him, and even we were alright with him being officially off the market, so long as he doesn’t hang up the teeny weeny trunks quite yet. But things seem to have gotten very serious all of a sudden, as a friend of Tom’s boyf, Dustin Lance Black, has written a blog post claiming that dreamy Daley and his lucky fella could have wedding bells and their own sproglets in the not so distant future. SAY WHUT? Does our time machine work? British filmmaker Duncan Roy, who lives near Dustin in Los Anglees, scribbled an extensive blog post on the interwebz about the couple’s relationship (how nice and totally not intrusive of him...), which claimed that things are pretty serious between the pair of them. “It seems that Lance may have found in Tom Daley a young man he can marry who shares his desire for an immediate family", he wrote. “Let’s wish him the best and that child-birth comes quickly, he doesn’t want to be an old dad, too old to play football with his young children.” Football? Errr, got the wrong sport there mate, that’s a bit awkward. Surely they’ll all be popping down to the pool together in matching arm bands and goggles or something equally cute. Well we haven’t the foggiest whether all this is true or not, so let’s just concentrate on this instead.

"What made The View so popular and so good was that it was five different women-from five different walks of life-discussing politics," Julie Chen told Howard Stern, after confirming that it was a "mistake" for the show to hire McCarthy. "What put them on the map and made them good and famous, they don't do that anymore. No one wants to hear Jenny McCarthy talk about the New York mayoral race or politics. They don't. That's not what you put Jenny McCarthy on for." McCarthy made her debut on The View in September, after Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck left the show. "I think they were trying to lighten the mood at the table-more gossip, more fun, more laughs," Chen told Stern. "What happened was, in my opinion, The View doesn't know what it is now." Despite her remarks, Chen apparently doesn't have anything personal against McCarthy. She called the former Playboy model "smart" and "talented," and even said that she would be a better fit on The Talk.

Michigan lawmakers passed a controversial measure on Wednesday that will ban all insurance plans in the state from covering abortion unless the woman's life is in danger. The law, which takes effect in March, will force women and employers to purchase a separate abortion rider if they would like the procedure covered, even in cases of rape and incest. Supporters of the "Abortion Insurance Opt-Out Act" argue that it allows people who are opposed to abortion to avoid paying into a plan that covers it. Opponents have nicknamed it the "rape insurance" initiative, because it would force some women to anticipate the possibility of being raped by purchasing the extra abortion insurance ahead of time. “This tells women who were raped … that they should have thought ahead and planned for it,” said Senate Minority Leader Gretchen Whitmer (D-East Lansing) during debates. “Make no mistake, this is anything but a citizens' initiative. It’s a special interest group’s perverted dream come true.” The Michigan State Legislature first passed the measure last year, but Governor Rick Snyder (R) vetoed it, saying he does not "believe it is appropriate to tell a woman who becomes pregnant due to a rape that she needed to select elective insurance coverage." But the anti-abortion group Right to Life of Michigan was able to collect more than 300,000 voter signatures on a petition this year to force a second vote on the measure. Having been passed by both chambers, the bill automatically becomes law now, even without Snyder's approval. More than 80 percent of private insurance plans currently cover abortions, the New York Times reported, citing research organization the Guttmacher Institute. Eight states have passed similar laws banning the insurance coverage of abortion, according to the Guttmacher Institute, but only two of them have actually made the abortion rider available to women. Several Democratic women lawmakers became emotional during debates on Wednesday as they told personal stories of miscarriage and abortion, and State Rep. David Knezek (D) blasted the measure as misogynistic. "This body made up of 80 percent men will make a decision that will impact 100 percent of women," he said.

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

I am renewing my passport which has lapsed and need to get photos taken. Of course, being a government agency, it has to be as inefficient as possible. Why don't they take your photo at the agency when you apply for the passport? No, of course you have to go somewhere else, wait in that line, get the photo, then go to the agency, wait in another line, and on and on. Plus, you can't tell me there is any good reason these things should cost $135.
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.

Beyonce's Surprise Album Trending Towards No. 1 on Billboard 200 Industry sources tell Billboard the album sold over 80,000 copies in three hours The stealth Thursday evening (9 p.m PT) release of Beyonce's self-titled fifth solo studio set is likely headed towards a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 when that chart's top 10 is revealed on Wednesday, Dec. 18. The iTunes exclusive "visual" album, retailing for $15.99 contains 14 tracks -- not available for a la carte purchases until Dec. 20 -- and 14 accompanying videos, along with other bonus video content. As of this morning, no set date has been announced for the CD release to physical retailers or of its availability on other digital download sites. In just a three-hour sales window (closing at midnight Friday PT), "Beyonce" reportedly sold over 80,000 copies, according to industry sources. It's still too early to judge what the set will do over the full three days left in the sales tracking week (which ends Sunday night), but with prior projected leader, "Blame It All On My Roots: Five Decades Of Influences" by Garth Brooks, estimated to shift 150,000-160,000 units, Beyonce is already halfway to that sum. And in the time it would take someone to fly from New York to Miami. The album release was so heavily guarded, that reportedly only a dozen or so members of her Sony Records family were even aware of the set being pushed to iTunes yesterday evening. Beyonce's last studio set "4" sold 310,000 in its debut week in July of 2011, but that was with a full sales week and a marketing/media push leading up to the release. It is an interesting commentary on the influence of social media in today's world if "Beyonce" can come close to that sum with just social buzz driving the project instead of weeks of traditional media promotion normally part of the album release playbook. Stay tuned to Billboard.com as we track "Beyonce's" sales over the course of the weekend and predict where the album will land, both in units and in rank, when the top of the Billboard 200 chart is revealed on Wednesday, Dec. 18.

"That yesterday’s budget agreement is being hailed as the start of a new era of bipartisanship shows how low our expectations have fallen. It’s a minor agreement that puts off the worst of the sequester cuts for two years but doesn’t extend unemployment benefits, or close tax loopholes for the rich, or invest in new jobs. As the House goes home for the holidays, the 113th Congress has accomplishing nothing on immigration reform, gun safety, the minimum wage, the environment, campaign-funding disclosure, or the nation's crumbling infrastructure. Tea-Party Republicans got slapped down yesterday by House Republican leaders but they’re still calling many of the shots, allowing John Boehner and Paul Ryan to play good cops to their bad cops and thereby pushing American politics ever further right. Tea Partiers in Republican-led states, meanwhile, are doing what they can to undermine the Affordable Care Act – allowing insurance companies to violate it, hobbling enrollment, and refusing to expand Medicaid even though the federal government will pay almost all of it. Right-wing groups such as the Koch-funded “Generation Opportunity” are actively trying to dissuade young people from signing up. Your political activism in the midterm election year of 2014 is as urgently needed as ever. Don't let up. Don't despair. Organize, mobilize, energize."

India bans gay sex in Supreme Court shock ruling 11th December 2013, 9:37 AM, Scott Roberts India's highest court has upheld a colonial-era law which criminalises gay sex, in what activists have described as a "black day" for gay rights. The Supreme Court threw out a 2009 New Delhi High Court decision that ruled the law was unconstitutional. The law change could see gay people jailed for up to ten years. "Such a decision was totally unexpected from the top court. It is a black day," said Arvind Narrain, a lawyer for the Alternative Law Forum gay rights group. "We are very angry about this regressive decision of the court." Ashok Row Kavi, of the activist group Humsafar Trust, said: "This is a very sad day for us, we are back to square one in our fight for the democratic rights of the gay community." The Supreme Court stated that only India's Parliament could change the law, by deleting a section of the penal code dating back to the 19th century, thus ruling that the Delhi High Court had overstepped its powers with its decision four years ago. Section 377 of India's penal code bans "sex against the order of nature", which is widely interpreted to mean gay sex, and can be punished with up to 10 years in jail. The rule dates back to the days of British colonial rule in India. "One would never expect the supreme court of India to make such a retrograde order, that is so against the trend internationally," said rights lawyer Colin Gonsalves. "This takes us back to the dark ages. This is a day of mourning for us in India." India’s law minister, Kapil Sibal, said he could not comment on the judgment and did not say if the government planned to seek an amendment to the law. But it seems unlikely the government will risk taking a stand on the issue in the short term. General elections are coming up in May in largely socially conservative India, and the Hindu nationalist opposition is already gathering momentum. The 2009 ruling to exempt gay sex between consenting adults from the ban was the result of a case brought by the Naz Foundation, an Indian sexual rights organisation, which fought a legal battle for almost a decade. Hundreds of gay rights activists marched through the streets of New Delhi last month in a call to end LGBT stigmatisation and discrimination in India. In October, over a hundred people took part in Gujarat's first ever gay pride march in the city of Surat.

Is anyone else as bummed out as I am by the choice of Alyssa Milano as the host of the All Star Show? She's always struck me as the epitome of C list Hollywood, a tv star without charm or talent, just a kind of throwaway name. Couldn't they have gotten someone else? The list of All-Stars is actually kind of interesting though -- they actually have some winners this time, not just the runner-ups.

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

Gary Collins, a prolific actor who became a successful host of daytime talk shows and — for almost a decade — master of ceremonies for the Miss America pageant, died on Saturday in Biloxi, Miss. He was 74. Mr. Collins died of natural causes, Brian Switzer, the Harrison County deputy coroner, said. In a performing career that spanned more than four decades, Mr. Collins made guest appearances on dozens of television shows, including “The Virginian,” “Love, American Style,” “Charlie’s Angels” and “JAG.” Mr. Collins became a familiar face in American living rooms in the 1980s as the congenial host of the syndicated afternoon talk show “Hour Magazine,” for which he won a daytime Emmy in 1983, and later, as the host of the Miss America Pageant from 1982 to 1990. From 1989 to 1994, he was the host of another daytime talk show, “The Home Show,” on ABC. Born in Venice, Calif., on April 30, 1938, Mr. Collins became interested in acting while in the Army, where he performed on the Armed Forces Network. He had his first break in 1965 with a supporting role on the NBC series “The Wackiest Ship in the Army,” with Jack Warden. He appeared with Dale Robertson in the 1966-68 series “Iron Horse,” and in 1972 he starred in “The Sixth Sense,” a series in which he played a parapsychologist. In 1974, he starred in a short-lived TV version of “Born Free.” In 1967, he married Mary Ann Mobley, Miss America of 1959. The couple separated last year. Besides his wife, survivors include their daughter, Marcy Clancy Collins; and two children from his first marriage, to Susan Peterson, Guy and Melissa Collins. In recent years, Mr. Collins, a resident of Biloxi, had legal troubles, including convictions for drunken driving and leaving the scene of a traffic accident. With a cheerful smile and good looks, Mr. Collins was known for his warm, welcoming style. In an interview with The Los Angeles Times in 1989, he said he was unsuited for the tabloid talk-show format that was emerging: “That’s basically not a part of my character.”

His partner Terry Houlihan writes David Oliver was my partner. Like so many of you. I fell in love with David on the series A Year in the Life. I was so fortunate to meet him a few years later in an acting class and he pursued me. It was surreal. What I thought of him as an actor didn't even come close to who he was as a person. YES he was physically beautiful. But the experience of loving him as a man truly surpassed any idea I had of him before we met. He was fascinated by EVERYTHING he was a tech geek. LOVED Star Trek, Acting, travel, classical music, playing the piano and me. It's 20 years since he passed and he's still very much a part of my life. David lives in the hearts and souls of all those he touched! I know I'm one of them.

I've always wanted to vist India since I read Forster's A Passage to India at college. But the more I read about the country, the more revolted I become. I've just finished reading "Behind the Beautiful Forevers" about the Indian slums which makes you feel like India is living in the Middle Ages with the grinding, hopeless poverty and a caste system that makes slavery look benign by comparison. Then there is the story of a 23 yer old woman gang raped on a bus, revealing appalling misogyny by the police and the courts who pressure women to drop rape allegations. Does anyone ave eperiences travelling in India? It sounds like hell on earth.

The 19-year-old British Olympic diver is currently down in the Lone Star state training for the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro. Dustin, a 39-year-old Oscar-winning screenwriter, showed his support for his man by wearing a Team Great Britain jacket! Last week, Tom came out and revealed that he is dating a guy and “couldn’t be happier.” While he didn’t reveal Dustin as his new beau by name, Tom appeared on The Jonathan Ross Show over the weekend and chatted about his new boyfriend. “[Dustin] makes me feel safe and happy, right now I couldn’t be happier,” Tom said. “I’d never felt the feeling of love, it happened so quickly. I was completely overwhelmed by it to the point I can’t get him out of my head all the time. I’ve never had it before where I love someone and they love me just as much.” Certainly looks like love is in the air for Dustin and Tom. Cute couple alert! 10+ exclusive pictures inside of Tom Daley and boyfriend Dustin Lance Black pictured together for the first time…

Today in a bakery, I was in line and because I was taught not to crowd people or especially to reach over someone, particularly an older lady, I allowed 2 feet between the two of us. When she was finished paying for a hot cup of coffee, I gave her plenty of room to put her card back in her wallet and zip her coat and prepare to go outside. Well, the cashier instantly began yelling NEXT NEXT… and motioning for me to reach over the woman who couldnt see me behind her, had hot coffee and was trying to load up. I refused. I stood there and said softly, "just amoment, when she gets finished." The cashier FROZE and gave me this evil stare… the woman turned around and looked at me like I had called her the c-word, she began franticlly stuffing things in her bag and rushed off looking over her should at me like she wanted to scream ASSHOLE. Of course, the worst thing possible in NYC is to make someone wait. I guess my politeness hit a nerve with that old hag.
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?
They intimidate SO much. I can't even act right around them. I'll do crazy things out of awkwardness when I'm around them. It's weird but I often feel much more comfortable around ugly guys and women (regardless of beauty). I just cannot talk right, interact right with these pretty boys.
I went into the Nob Hill Theatre to check out the talent. I did not get further than the photo board. \ \ What a bunch of ugly, gross, shaved, tattooed, skinny and fat low class rent boys they have. After looking at the photos I turned and the desk clerk asked me if I wanted to go into the theatre. \ \ I told him..."I would only pay to get those awful men to dress and go home."\ \ He rolled his eyes and said...''do you know how many times a day I hear comments like that?''\ \ If he hears those comments all the time then why not hire some attractive men?\ \ Why oh why do you have such gross men on stage in San Francisco?
They don''t pretend to be straight, or gay-for-pay, or "try-sexual," or any of that nonsense.\ \ Some I can think of:\ \ Paul Wagner\ \ Cayden Ross\ \ Francesco d''Macho

The New York Post's Andrea Peyser didn't need to make the trip to South Africa to know that President Obama was philandering only inches away from his wife while attending Nelson Mandela's memorial service earlier this week. Peyser took a gander at some photos that appeared to show First Lady Michelle Obama scowling at her husband while he joked around with Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, and the columnist had the smoking gun she needed. But a photographer who was actually at the memorial service and captured the scene made it clear that the first lady wasn't really upset, undermining a column by Peyser that was published on Thursday. Roberto Schmidt, a photographer for AFP, wrote this week that he was surprised to subsequently learn how people were characterizing Michelle Obama's demeanor during the much-publicized "selfie" involving the President, Thorning-Schmidt and British Prime Minister David Cameron. "I later read on social media that Michelle Obama seemed to be rather peeved on seeing the Danish prime minister take the picture," Schmidt wrote. "But photos can lie. In reality, just a few seconds earlier the first lady was herself joking with those around her, Cameron and Schmidt included. Her stern look was captured by chance." The first lady's seemingly icy expression became something of a meme on Twitter, prompting jokes that President Obama had found himself in the doghouse for what looked like playful flirting. Peyser took the meme seriously, blasting the President for acting "like a hormone-ravaged frat boy on a road trip to a strip bar." She also demanded that President Obama apologize not only to his wife, but the world as well.

There has been some thawing in recent years and I think she made a Christmas appearance either last year or prior. She drove in and left the same day, probably just for the main luncheon.

My dilemma, which I realize might be more than a bit vague, but: Has anyone here ever had side effects from a series of medical treatments? And were you still billed by the doctor for the multiple treatments even though it was determined that the problems were caused by the treatments? Similarly, did you follow a doctor's advice in caring for a medical condition, only to have the advice be not only totally incorrect, but damaging, and leading to further problems? And yet still get billed? Advice would be appreciated. And no, the doctor is not cute or hung...

MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin's ultra-liberal capital city is a place where just about anything goes, from street parties to naked bike rides. But city officials say a business is pushing even Madison's boundaries by offering, of all things, hugs. For $60, customers at the Snuggle House can spend an hour hugging, cuddling and spooning with professional snugglers. Snugglers contend touching helps relieve stress. But Madison officials suspect the business is a front for prostitution and, if it's not, fear snuggling could lead to sexual assault. Not buying the message that the business is all warm and fuzzy, police have talked openly about conducting a sting operation at the business, and city attorneys are drafting a new ordinance to regulate snuggling. "There's no way that (sexual assault) will not happen," assistant city attorney Jennifer Zilavy said. "No offense to men, but I don't know any man who wants to just snuggle." Snuggle House owner Matthew Hurtado hasn't responded to multiple requests for an interview. His attorney, Tim Casper, said in an interview last month the business is legitimate and Hurtado has put precautions in place to protect clients and employees from each other. "The concept is obviously a novel one and you can see where they (the city) might be a little skeptical," he said. "Could something happen? Yeah, I suppose. But they're taking every precaution." In recent days, it's become unclear whether or not the house is still in business. No one answered the door there Saturday. A posting on a Facebook page claiming to be the Snuggle House's site said it had closed, but the page owner wouldn't identify themselves — or confirm if it was the home's official site. Neither Hurtado nor Casper have returned phone and email messages. Madison's concern seems to be deeper than in other cities where similar businesses have set up shop as cuddling has grown into a cottage industry over the past decade. Police in Rochester, N.Y., said they've had no complaints about The Snuggery, which offers overnight cuddle sessions. Be The Love You Are in Boulder, Colo., offers cuddles with "Snuggle Stars." Cuddle Therapy in San Francisco offers packages that "focus directly with your current needs around connection, intimacy and touch," according to its website. Police in San Francisco and Boulder didn't respond to The AP's inquires about those businesses. The nonprofit organization Cuddle Party has trained about 100 people across five continents to run group snuggle sessions, said Len Daley, a psychologist who serves as executive director at Cuddle Party headquarters in Montgomery, Ala. Betty Martin, a Seattle-based sex educator who facilities cuddle parties in that city, said she's never had problems with government officials or police. Cuddle Party participants must keep their clothes on and go through a pre-session workshop on how to say "no," she said. "People think if there's touch happening there must be sex happening. That's not the case at all," Martin said. Madison might seem like an ideal spot for snuggling. Former Gov. Lee Dreyfus once described the Democratic stronghold as "30 square miles surrounded by reality." The Freedom From Religion Foundation, which advocates for atheists, is based here. Every year UW-Madison students hold a blocks-long party to celebrate the end of the school year and biking enthusiasts pedal through the streets in various stages of undress each spring. The Snuggle House sits above a bar about a block from the state Capitol. The only indication it's there is a welcome mat that reads "Snuggle House." The business's website features photos of bedrooms with hardwood floors and videos of four snugglers — three women and one man — talking about wanting to help people feel better.
Very draggy looking, as well. I haven't seen her in years, so was kind of shocked.

I love them, hot and slutty!
Fox News host Megyn Kelly on Wednesday assured children viewing her program that both Jesus Christ and Santa Claus were white men even though some liberals were trying to make them black. In a column for Slate earlier this week, Aisha Harris wrote that she had always been confused as a child because the Santa in her home had brown skin like her, but the Santa in malls and on television was always white. So Harris made the case “that America abandon Santa-as-fat-old-white-man” and adopt a penguin in his place. “For one thing, making Santa Claus an animal rather than an old white male could spare millions of nonwhite kids the insecurity and shame that I remember from childhood,” she wrote. But on Wednesday, Kelly decided that Harris had gone “off the rails” with her column. “For all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white,” Kelly said. “But this person is just arguing that maybe we should also have a black Santa. But Santa is what he is.” “Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn’t mean it has to change, you know?” she added. “I mean, Jesus was a white man too. He was a historical figure, that’s a verifiable fact, as is Santa — I just want the kids watching to know that.” Contrary to Kelly’s assertions, Jesus Christ was a Jew of Mediterranean descent and not the white European figure often depicted in paintings and movies. Watch this video from the Fox News’ The Kelly File, broadcast Dec. 11, 2013.

I think they're a bad idea. And no, I'm not a Scientologist. I think a lot of people forget that it's important to experience negative emotions, as painful as they may be. It doesn't really make sense to embrace things like happiness and joy but not grief and sadness. You can't have one without the other. And I sometimes feel like people inadvertently cause their own depression by avoiding or muting negative feelings, and thereby not realizing that they're muting the happy ones too.

I don't know why I find this kind of thing so absolutely hysterical, but I do. Particularly after the recent Punchy Players "Judy's Groceries" (and the outtakes) where Ann Miller is the checkout girl for Judy and Liza's grocery trip where Liza keeps making bad nutritional choices. Ann has some sort of fixation about having on those earrings at that premiere!

New teams have been announced. I haven't checked the details-- is there a gay team (or two) this season?
Any of them acting. I know they did a QAF Con in Los Angeles a few months ago.
My father claimed he was bisexual when he was younger and had a relationship with an older boy down the street. Dad said he was the bottom. TMI for me at the time. When I first moved to New York in my teens, I didn't have any education or goals. Yet I managed to live pretty well. I didn't tell my family I had a wealthy, generous boyfriend. If I showed up in a sports car wearing a good suit, there would be talk. This was around the time of that movie American Gigolo. Later on I found out my whole family suspected I was a prostitute. I had to tell them no. Nothing so scandalous. Just gay.
Watching "City Confidential" on Robert Johnson, and wondering how someone can go from the worst of the worst "musician" to the best in one year. They interviewed lots of people who witnessed this phenomenal transition. He claimed he made a deal with the devil. What else could explain his mysterious transition. I've never heard of anyone with absolutely no musical talent suddenly transform into one of the best musicians in history. Do Baptists shun music? Because I thought the black churches were the most musical.
any metal types hanging around? I''m looking for Iron Maiden gossip....there isn''t much dirt on this band...
I think I've been here long enough to predict which should be most of the top contenders on DL, though there's someone's I had to leave off--I've added an "Other--please list" category though. (Please note, I only had room for nine other choices besides that--there are four more at least I wish I had had room to add, because I know they will have vocal fans.)
I'm predicting it. None of the others potentially nominated - previous winners Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson, in addition to whoever will occupy Slot Number Five (previous Oscar winners Judi Dench and Sandra Bullock; previous nominee Amy Adams; TV Emmy winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus) - are going to win the 2013 best-actress over Cate Blanchett. It doesn't hurt the past two years have seen repeat lead winners: Meryl (2011) and Daniel Day-Lewis (2012). With Cate, it's stepping up from a prior supporting win (2004) to the category in which we know she belongs.
Will the trend ever end. It makes me self-conscious. I hate having to take a group photo after every event and gathering.
In that commercial about how Blythe used to like the expression "Break a Leg" but now hates it because of her brittle bones, what is that one-woman show she's doing?

Believe it or not, people with this affliction, at their very core, are the inverse of the narcissist. People with BPD start out 'too sensitive', too empathetic. People with borderline personality disorder empathize to the point of pain. When the highly sensitive person grows up in a very non-validating and/or abusive environment, with a history of trauma, BPD can manifest. In order for borderline personality to develop, an invalidating environment with and a highly sensitive person MUST BE present. What is going on in a Borderline Personality Disorder sufferer's mind and how they are acting can be two entirely different things. To the sufferer, BPD is about deep feelings, feelings often too difficult to express, feelings that are something along the lines of this : If others really get to know me, they will find me rejectable and will not be able to love me; and they will leave me; I need to have complete control of my feelings otherwise things go completely wrong; I have to adapt my needs to other people's wishes, otherwise they will leave me or attack me; I am an evil person and I need to be punished for it; Other people are evil and abuse you; If someone fails to keep a promise, that person can no longer be trusted; If I trust someone, I run a great risk of getting hurt or disappointed; If you comply with someone's request, you run the risk of losing yourself; If you refuse someone's request, you run the risk of losing that person; I will always be alone; I can't manage by myself, I need someone I can fall back on; There is no one who really cares about me, who will be available to help me, and whom I can fall back on; I don't really know what I want; I will never get what I want; I'm powerless and vulnerable and I can't protect myself;. I have no control of myself; I can't discipline myself; My feelings and opinions are unfounded; Other people are not willing or helpful. To the family members, BPD behavior is often very frustrating can feel unfair and punitive - something like this: You have been viewed as overly good and then overly bad; You have been the focus of unprovoked anger or hurtful actions, alternating with periods when the family member acts perfectly normal and very loving; Things that you have said or done have been twisted and used against you; You are accused of things you never did or said? You often find yourself defending and justifying your intentions; You find yourself concealing what you think or feel because you are not heard; You feel manipulated, controlled, and sometimes lied to.
I'm 50 years old, and pretty alarmed at how many young guys I know who have sero-converted. Condom use has not caught on with the guys who weren't around to experience the big 1983-1996 AIDS die off. I'm figuring that the population who may benefit from a drug like this may often be in less than perfect health to start with, and if one can't use a damned condom, how likely is one to faithfully stay on a drug regimen? What might be the long-term effects? I was initially horrified to think anyone would take a potent HIV drug while perfectly healthy, and risk the side effects (and feeding into Big Pharma's profit scheme), just so they can continue barebacking.....but what if that's just my prejudice? What if ultimately it saves lives?

Which one says "alpha male"?
She's 85. She's been sick for a number of years (diabetes, then heart disease) and her body is apparently in the process of simply shutting down. Her heart, her lungs, her kidneys. Her doctor says she's in pretty bad shape and getting worse. She has days, weeks, maybe months to live. It'll be either her heart or her kidneys that give out. Her death will be an easy one, he says. For her part she's being very philosophical about it all. She knows she's had a good long life and is grateful for that. She doesn't want to leave us, but she sees that it's out of her hands so she's simply accepting it. She's signed a Do Not Resuscitate Order and has refused any medical intervention such as dialysis and life support. All she wants is the meds that keep her going and comfortable. My 92 year old father is, naturally, quite upset but also philosophical. He's also grateful that they had a good long life together and knows that it had to end some day. He's unwell too and I don't think he'll be around too much longer either. They both live in a full-care senior's home. All of their practical and medical needs are taken care of for them. My sisters pop in on them regularly to take care of everything else and just to visit and talk with them (I live on the other side of the country) I know she's old, but it still hurts. It's not tragic or horrible or unnatural. It's just what happens to people when they live that long. But it still hurts. My siblings and I have a lot to be thankful for, certainly. And we'll miss them both terribly when they're gone. But we'll have happy memories of them. I'm not sure why I'm telling Datalounge (of all people) this. I'm actually keeping this pretty private in my real life. I haven't talked about it with anyone except my partner and my siblings. I feel like this is mine and I want to hold it close for a while. I don't want to share it until I have to. Does that even make sense?
I can't really think of another world figure who's death will be given such attention.
A 21-year-old University of Guelph student who live-streamed his dorm room suicide attempt now faces a criminal charge of arson. The male student, whose name has not been released, set fire to his residence room on Nov. 30 before taking some pills and crawling beneath his bed. Police officers and emergency crews eventually broke down the door and rushed the young man to hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, On Wednesday Guelph police charged the student with “arson, disregard for human life,” Const. Mike Gatto confirmed. He said four officers – two from Guelph police and two from the university – were hospitalized for smoke inhalation.
My sister is driving home to FL from NYC after visiting me and on her way home, she fell asleep for a moment. The car hit the grass, did two 360s and ended up hitting a bunch of bushes (just missing trees). She said it all happened in slow motion. Thankful she wasn't hurt. She said she was looking for an exit so she could pull over just before the accident. This happened to me on the Angeles Crest Highway outside of LA once. There was black ice and the car did the same thing - two 360s next to a cliff without a guardrail. The car actually cut out two half circles in the snow where the front of the car swung out over the edge of the cliff but finally stopped on the road facing the same way I was going. I almost had to change my underwear. Have you ever had a road accident like this? My sister said nobody even stopped to help her!
Who were they? does anyone on DL know. (knew) them? The guys were gay weren't they? Are they still around?
I left back in September. It wasn't easy. He just texted me the following less than an hour ago: Remember that I love you very, very much. I wish you all the success and happiness in the world, yo deserve it. Have a merry Xmas. You deserve it. Goodbye. I've been calling him non-stop since. He sounds like he is going to commit suicide. I am beside myself. I already called his mom and brother to tell them to call him. Neither has been able to get through just like me. I feel so helpless.
At least Guy Wilson will have something to hang onto.

I have no idea if it''s due to the HD platform or not, but ever since I''ve been watching old television shows on it, I''m now seeing boom mics hanging over head in episodes of "Murder, She Wrote", and other television shows that pre-dated HD. I don''t know if it''s because of the way the screen is stretched or aligned, or what, but I''ve watched many of these episodes before, countless times, on a regular television, and never noticed what I''m seeing now.\ \ Any thoughts?

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

My dad also loves James Bond movies. However, my sister says that I should not get a gift like that. I also like the idea of Apple TV, but they already have a Roku. I wanted to see if anyone had a cool idea for a gift.

Jesus take the wheel! Carrie Underwood isn't letting "Sound of Music Live!" critics get her down. The country singer has slammed "mean people" via Twitter on the very same day the film's original star, Kym Karath, bashed Underwood for her acting chops. Karath played Greti von Trapp in the 1965 musical film "The Sound of Music." "Plain and simple: Mean people need Jesus," 30-year-old Underwood wrote via Twitter on Friday, Dec. 6. "They will be in my prayers tonight...1 Peter 2:1-25." The Bible scripture Underwood cites states to "rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind." Underwood responded to "mean people" just hours after the Internet exploded with some harsh words about the show. Karath was one of many to comment about the live event, and slammed the singer for landing the role of Julie Andrews' Maria von Trapp. At the time, Karath was watching the three-hour program with former costars Charmian Carr (Liesl von Trapp) and Angela Cartwright (Brigitta von Trapp.) "Mystified & disappointed so far by SOM special," Karath tweeted during the live performance on Thursday. "So far only happy with Stephen Moyer." ("True Blood" star Moyer played Christopher Plummer's Captain von Trapp.) "Must admit some scenes are actually painful to watch." She added: "Love Carrie Underwood but this role is just not right for her. She is lovely her voice is beautiful but acting is wrong." Despite snarky tweets from viewers, Underwood shared her excitement for how well the production went shortly after the curtain closed. "Glory to God tonight...I couldn't be more proud," she tweeted. "What a tough thing to pull off and we did it! I am so blessed!!!" "Sound of Music Live!" ultimately pulled in 18.47 million viewers for NBC.

After three days of testimony, Jordan Graham pleaded guilty Thursday to second-degree murder for pushing her husband off of a cliff just eight days after their wedding. The deal came in federal court in Missoula, Mont., at lunchtime Thursday, just before her jury was set to hear closing arguments. U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy accepted the plea, but said she first had to tell him the truth. Graham said that she and Cody Johnson were on the Loop Trail in Glacier National Park July 7, arguing over what the defense has referred to as her "wedding blues," when Johnson grabbed her arm. She said she brushed him away and then she pushed him. The shove sent her husband over the edge of the steep cliff and to his death at the bottom of a ravine. "I ran back up to the car and left," Graham told the judge outside the jury's presence. "I was scared of what happened and in that moment I was so scared I didn't know what to do." Sentencing was scheduled for March 27 and Graham was handcuffed and taken into custody by U.S. Marshals. Although the deal removes charges of first-degree murder and making false statements, Graham still faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Just minutes before midnight EST Friday (Dec. 13) morning, Beyonce released her fifth album, a self-titled set, exclusively on iTunes. Details are still emerging on confirmed producers, but guests credited on the "exclusive visual album" are Jay Z, Drake, Frank Ocean and daughter Blue Ivy. "XO," the rumored first single co-penned by Ryan Tedder and The-Dream, is featured. But songs like "Grown Woman," produced by Timbaland and featured in a Pepsi commercial earlier this year, and "Standing on the Sun," penned by Sia and featured in an H&M ad, are nowhere to be found. Billboard will have more on this story as it develops.

A former library employee at Floriday Atlantic University is accused of secretly filming students masturbating in a campus bathroom, then uploading the videos to porn websites. Seth Thompson, 40, was arrested Tuesday and charged with 13 counts of video voyeurism, as well as other charges related to uploading four videos, the Palm Beach Post reported. "Thompson stated that he initially began recording these videos after seeing similar videos online, which gave him the impression that there are people who are enjoy [sic] viewing videos showing males masturbating and urinating," according to police documents obtained by the Broward Palm Beach New Times. The videos were posted online under the screen name "JERKING_BUD." The investigation began in August, after a student told authorities he discovered a 30-second clip of himself urinating online. Police searched Thompson's home that month, and say he admitted to secretly filming students. He resigned shortly thereafter. According to WPTV, police say Thompson told them he thought he'd be able to upload the videos without anyone knowing it was him. He was arrested Tuesday and charged with 13 counts of video voyeurism, as well as other charges related to uploading four videos.

Well, okay, part of the truth. Regardless, bets on how long it'll be before Pat dies unexpectedly from "food poisoning" or a "household fall"? "Tom Cruise has been very vocal about his support for the Church of Scientology. Sometimes too vocal, according to his former publicist Pat Kingsley. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 81-year-old PR legend says she once advised the Oblivion actor to tone down his talk about his religious beliefs. "I did have that conversation with Tom, about cooling it," Kingsley says, recalling what she told him at the time: "'Scientology is fine. You want to do a tour for Scientology? Do a tour for Scientology. But Warner Bros. is sponsoring this tour.' That was for [2003's] The Last Samurai. He didn't say yes or no, except he did not discuss Scientology on that European tour." In general, THR notes, the star's religious beliefs didn't have much of an impact on his professional relationship with Kingsley until shortly before they parted ways. There had been only one "serious conflict" before with the Scientology reps, "but it was taken care of very early in the game," the veteran publicist notes. "I felt that they were involved in a story that I was doing on Tom, and I said: 'It's not your story, it's Tom's. You have to step aside,'" she recalls. "And they did." Kingsley, who worked with Cruise from the early 1990s until 2004, was once so close with him that they "could almost finish each other's sentence," she says. "We never really had a disagreement about direction or any particular interview. The trust became pretty complete on both sides." She added: "We talked constantly. He was an insomniac. I liked the fact that he was so much fun. And he was so thoughtful. He remembered birthdays, my daughter's birthday. He came to her wedding; she was registered somewhere for the china, and he bought out everything." In the end, she tells THR, he "wanted to be more personally involved" in the decisions about his career. They went their separate ways in March 2004 and have not seen each other since. But Kingsley has only good things to say about him. "Tom Cruise was a prince," she says."

I did a search and could not find that this film has been discussed yet on here. It has gotten pretty much rave reviews from just about all of the critics. Has anyone on DL seen it? Is it as good as I've read? This weekend, help me choose: Philomena, The Dallas Buyer's Club or Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

NBC is looking to start a new holiday tradition. After the success of the ambitious The Sound of Music Live! last week that drew 18.6 million viewers, the network is committing to staging another live family-friendly musical production for the holiday season in 2014, NBC confirms to The Hollywood Reporter. NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said in an interview with The New York Times that they were "circling a couple of titles" that could be staged next year, to be led by Sound of Music producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan. The only rules are that they must be Broadway classics with a slew of familiar songs. "All weekend, people have been calling us and emailing us," Greenblatt told the Times. "Rights holders of musicals have said, 'Please do one of our shows.' We’re excited to try it again." Greenblatt also confirmed that live TV musicals may become an annual thing for the network come the holidays, voicing his belief that event television is crucial to the future of broadcast. "There’s enough to do a handful of these over the next years, if we keep increasing the learning curve," Greenblatt said. "There may be a little bit of a phenomenon to the first one of these. Who knows what happens year two, three or four. But you’ve got to have events. I think we could do this again -- and again and again.” Though Sound of Music took 18 months to put together, Greenblatt said the next live musical won't take nearly as long. "Now that we have done it once, we don’t need 18 months again," he said. "We know a lot about how to do it." THR previously reported that the price tag for the three-hour extravaganza that aired Dec. 5 was close to $9 million. A 22-song soundtrack featuring Carrie Underwood is available on iTunes, with an encore airing sometime before Christmas and a DVD/Blu-ray release on Dec. 17. Meron had hinted in an interview with THR that he and Zadan had high hopes for more live TV events in the future should Sound of Music prove successful. "What we are hoping is in success that we open the door to another kind of entertainment that can exist on TV," Meron said at the time.

People are talking Emmy for Britton. Wonder if it will really be that good?
Recently India's national GLBT magazine commissioned a survey on the sex habits of its male readers. This was the first survey of its kind. Over 500 Indian men, who identify as gay or bisexual, responded. Though not scientific in nature, the results were nonetheless surprising. Of the 500-plus men polled, an astounding 25% said they have never engaged in anal sex at all. However most of the men who did engage in anal sex said they did so between the ages of 18 to 21.

I always perceived the Chinese to be humble and down-to-earth. But they are becoming like nouveau riche bumpkins putting up a blingy facade: "I have made 3 trips to China and seen a number of those buildings including going inside the world's largest building which is in Cheng Du, Sichuan Province. I am not that impressed. Most are ordinary buildings with a visually glamorous exterior: Disneyland hotels brought to the city. You still need to hold your nose and bring your own toilet paper to some of China's major airport restrooms. Subways in China are really good, taxi's are mostly better than in the US but crossing the street is suicidal. There is no space around most buildings for truck deliveries never mind parking for cars. There are no clothes driers in any Chinese households (I visited some blue collar to multi-millionaire apartments), They are trying. The emphasis I would have is on the hidden infrastrure."

Lately, I have been reading about this, and a group of friends were mentioning how a guy I once was close with and his boyfriend frequently pick up women... Still, they declare themselves to be "proudly gay". Also, quite a few guys seem to view sex with women as some sort of ultimate for of sexual freedom. Am I the only one who finds this to be absolutely bizarre (not to mention, a bit repugnant)? It's just as odd as having "straight" men actively seeking to have sex or have relationships with men. Is saying "I am bisexual" so difficult? I am miffed about this because I dated one of those guys for quite a long time, and things didn't progress any further because, at the time, I had issues with commitment... Now, I feel repulsed knowing that I once slept with him, and we even discussed having a long term relationship. Now I know how women feel when they discover that their boyfriend/husband is sleeping around with men on the side. Honestly, is there a single bisexual guy who is not a creep?

I mean "out" gay parents. The only ones I can remember way way back when were the gay fathers on "The Tracey Ullman Show." Tracey played their teenage daughter. That had to be back in the mid-1980s. Were there any before that, or was that pretty revolutionary for American television?

The new wave of celebrity coming out dares you to not “bi” into it. Last week, diving champ Tom Daley posted a YouTube video intriguingly titled, “Something I want to say.” And it was a mouthful. Daley revealed that he’s in love with a guy (reportedly Oscar winning Milk writer Dustin Lance Black, though Black hasn’t confirmed that yet) and he’s deliriously happy about this development. But “of course I still fancy girls,” Daley significantly added. (That’s good news for girls, if not for Black, lol.) The week before that, Maria Bello—the Golden Globe-nominated actress from films like The Cooler, A History of Violence, and Prisoners—wrote a New York Times Modern Love essay describing how her relationship with her best friend (Clare Munn) eventually evolved into a romantic one, to the actress’s surprise and delight. In the article, Bello revealed that she told her 12-year-old son from an ex-boyfriend about the relationship, not sure of what to expect. His reaction? “Mom, love is love.” And that’s long been the most resonant message of the LGBT community. I’ve written before about people who pretend to be bisexual as a cover for their actual gayness, but that doesn’t discount the fact that millions of real bisexuals actually exist and that a relationship between any consenting adults is perfectly valid as long as they find it so. Just because some of us can’t fathom such a concept for ourselves doesn’t erase the reality that for many people looking for relationships, gender is not an issue, the person is. And that’s the same message gay men and lesbians have always propagated to justify their own relationships! Of course, the love flow can work both ways. In 1997, actress Anne Heche—who’d previously had relationships with men—hooked up with funny lady Ellen DeGeneres, as the world went wild flapping their gums about it. But when they broke up three years later, Heche took up with a man, as angry gay people called her a traitor and a phony. But Heche had already said that love involves falling for a person, regardless of expectations or labels. That seemed to me like a true statement of bisexuality, and her dating men again didn’t come off the least bit contradictory or hypocritical. So, let’s welcome Daley and Bello into our ranks regardless of the tags they might fall under. Let’s plug up the biphobia and open our minds to a world of romance where unscripted things happen all the time. Just please tell me off if I ever claim to still fancy girls.

Looks fun.
n a recent afternoon, executives at Goldman Sachs invited a few hundred major investors to the Conrad Hotel in lower Manhattan. The bankers and their guests filed into a large room and turned their eyes to Hillary Clinton. Ordinarily these masters of the universe might have groaned at the idea of a politician taking the microphone. In the contentious years since the crash of 2008, they’ve grown wearily accustomed to being called names—labeled “fat cats" by President Obama and worse by those on the left—and gotten used to being largely shunned by Tea Party Republicans for their association with the Washington establishment. And of course there are all those infuriating new rules and regulations, culminating this week with the imposition of the so-called Volcker Rule to make risky trades by big banks illegal. But Clinton offered a message that the collected plutocrats found reassuring, according to accounts offered by several attendees, declaring that the banker-bashing so popular within both political parties was unproductive and indeed foolish. Striking a soothing note on the global financial crisis, she told the audience, in effect: We all got into this mess together, and we’re all going to have to work together to get out of it. What the bankers heard her to say was just what they would hope for from a prospective presidential candidate: Beating up the finance industry isn’t going to improve the economy—it needs to stop. And indeed Goldman’s Tim O’Neill, who heads the bank’s asset management business, introduced Clinton by saying how courageous she was for speaking at the bank. (Brave, perhaps, but also well-compensated: Clinton’s minimum fee for paid remarks is $200,000). Certainly, Clinton offered the money men—and, yes, they are mostly men—at Goldman’s HQ a bit of a morale boost. “It was like, ‘Here’s someone who doesn’t want to vilify us but wants to get business back in the game,’” said an attendee. “Like, maybe here’s someone who can lead us out of the wilderness.” . . .

Even with all the drip, drip, drip of suggestive photos, Rhodes was denying he was gay. Well, MS. EX-THING will have NONE of her man lying to the press!

Vacations, red bottoms, the private jet in my video was us going to training camp together. I had a driver and he even gave me his Aston Martin. He later bought me my own car and because I’m not a dumb bi**h I made sure to get it my own name and he paid the whole thing off! He treated me very well. I will never talk bad about him in that way because he was really good to me. [quote]He loved me and now he’s lying. That’s why I put him out there because he came for me. I’m not here for fame. He wanted me to have a reality show because he said I was destined for it. His teammates said I had a great personality and encouraged me to be on TV. This was our life! This was real!

Disgusting. (Btw this is from a straight sports blog.) "Free agent safety Kerry Rhodes was more or less outed by Media Takeout during the offseason (the pictures that MTO posted of him with another man appear to have been scrubbed from the site). He still hasn't found a job. This is fucked up, because Kerry Rhodes is good. In fact, by many metrics, he's very good. Rhodes picked off four passes last season (two of them came against the Jets, but still!) and was part of the fifth-best pass defense in the NFL. Pro Football Focus had him ranked as the fourth-best safety in all of football in 2012. Apart from the retired Ronde Barber, Rhodes is the only player in PFF's top 30 safeties from 2012 that doesn't currently have a job. Look at his career stats and you will see that there was no obvious drop-off in the quality of Rhodes's play in 2012 compared to the seven previous seasons. He's been serviceable at worst and Pro Bowl-caliber at best. Nothing about him has changed except for the fact that someone put up a picture of him with his arm around a dude. Rhodes has vehemently denied the gay rumors, and yet the mere [italic]suspicion[/italic] of his gayness seems to have been enough to make him unemployable." (more at link)

Though not quite as big as his sister Julianne (Rock of Ages), Derek Hough has reached a level of celebrity via his gig on Dancing with the Stars. So you’d think he’d be used to people asking for a photograph. But, according to the increasingly accurate National Enquirer, the blond hoofer, 27, threw a hissy fit when a fan tried to take his picture at Jam, a gay club in Hough’s hometown of Salt Lake City: Sexy pro dancer Derek Hough donned some shiny silver pants and shook his fanny at a popular Salt Lake City gay club — but then freaked out when a fan tried to take his picture! The talented 27-year-old has been dogged by gay rumors for years despite having a string of girlfriends. And although it’s been reported that he is dating “DWTS” contestant and opera singer Katherine Jenkins, she was nowhere in sight when Derek showed up at Jam, a gay club in his hometown, on July 21, a source confided. “I’m a big fan of Derek’s, and I always thought or HOPED he was gay,” Jam regular Ken lee told The Enquirer. “Seeing him shimmying with his buddies at the gay club wearing skintight, shiny silver pants just made my mind scream!” But Ken says when he approached Derek for a photo, the dancer “got all nervous and fidgety and stammered, ‘No, no, no — not here!’” “I was really careful about approaching him respectfully,” Ken explained. “I went up to Derek and said, ‘excuse me’ and asked very nicely if I could have a photo taken with him. Well, he couldn’t have been more rude or a bigger diva! “I was like, OK, he’s clearly not comfortable about having his picture taken in a gay bar. If you’re not gay, then what’s the problem? Derek’s behavior was very suspect." “Derek very well may not be gay,” added Ken. “But he sure was dressed pretty and threw an impressive hissy fit when I asked for a photo!” Hough’s been dodging gay rumors since he first came on the scene, and his clumsy showmances with Shannon Elizabeth and Cheryl Cole haven’t helped. Neither has his close friendship with his sis’ boyfriend, Ryan Seacrest. Is he gay? We dunno—but you can’t be a celebrity and think you’re gonna be able to have some anonymity at a friggin’ gay bar. We notice those kinds of things!

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

Vladimir Putin defends anti-gay laws as bastion of global conservatism President says Russia stands on international stage in defence of traditional values against 'fruitless so-called tolerance' Leonid Ragozin in Moscow; theguardian.com, Thursday 12 December 2013 06.51 EST Vladimir Putin has defended Russia's anti-gay laws in his annual address to both chambers of the Russian parliament. In an apparent reference to the laws banning "propaganda of non-traditional relations", the Russian president said that on the international arena Russia sees itself as a defender of conservative values against what it considers an assault of "genderless and fruitless so-called tolerance" which he said "equals good and evil". He said Russia will oppose attempts to impose foreign political ideology on sovereign countries. Such attempts, Putin stressed, often lead to destruction and bloodshed, citing events in the Middle East and North Africa as an example. In a typically wide-ranging speech, Putin portrayed Russia as a force for peace and morality that had no desire to be a global superpower. Putin said he was counting on Ukraine to find a political solution to its crisis over President Viktor Yanukovych's decision to spurn a free-trade agreement with the European Union in favour of closer economic ties with Moscow. "I very much hope that all political forces will manage to reach an agreement and resolve all problems in the interests of the Ukrainian people," he told the Russian parliament. Speaking about Syria, he pointed out that Russia made a major contribution to the prevention of foreign intervention, setting this country 'on the path for dialogue' and putting its chemical arsenal under international control. He also praised the progress in Iran, pointing out that it has the right to develop peaceful nuclear technology without putting international stability, and in particular Israel's security, at risk. Nodding towards the US and Nato, he remarked that although the perceived Iranian threat has diminished, plans to develop missile defences in Europe, which Russia sees as a threat to its nuclear shield, continue to be implemented. He warned the west against developing non-nuclear strategic military technology which could upset the global balance and lead to a new arms race. He said Russia was closely watching these developments and ready to respond by developing similar technology. He said that a customs union treaty will be ready for Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan to sign by 1 May, with accession roadmaps being drawn up for Kyrgyzstan and Armenia. On the domestic front, Putin announced a major improvement in the country's demographic situation. He said natural population growth in Russia has been registered for the first time since 1991. But admitted that this trend could be reversed as those born in the 1990s come of age. Responding to broad public concern, he touched the sensitive issue of interethnic relations, blaming "footloose people from southern republics" , "ethnic mafia", corrupt police and Russian nationalists for increased tensions. Most of the speech focused on the economy. Putin conceded that although Russia feels the impact of the global economic crisis, its main problems are internal. He stressed the need to increase productivity, where Russia badly lags, Putin said. He pointed out the fact that many Russian companies remain registered in offshore zones, citing the recent sale of TNK-BP outside Russian jurisdiction as an example. He suggested that legislation should be adopted which forces such companies to pay taxes in Russia, even if they wish to remain registered abroad. He also stressed the need to increase transparency of regulation bodies and reduce their pressure on businesses.

Me with a guy who is physically my type. Like to a T. Can't believe this conversation just happened. After I asked him if he was bi... HE: Nope. 99% straight. I don't say a hundred because I'm very comfortable with sexuality in general and my sexuality as well. I had sex with a guy a bunch of times in high school. Men don't do anything for me. ME: You should let me kiss you. HE: That makes as much sense as some crazy girls who believe they can turn straight men gay. ME: Hm? You mean turn gay men straight. Freudian slip. Can't be 99% straight if you had more sex with men than I did in high school. HE: Not a Freudian slip. I have a high libido and was willing to try it. Each time, I was barely aroused and didn't enjoy it. You can't use the just try it technique. I've tried it lol ME: Wrong guy. I'm fine. I just want to kiss you. HE: That would be too weird. ME: Ok HE: I'm flattered though. ME: Good. Then I mentioned an article that said I made a lot of money which I don't. I'm a celebrity and don't want to give away my identity to DL so I'll skip that part. Then... ME: Would you kiss me if I did? HE: Lol why do you like me so much? I'm a STRAIGHT depressed wreck who cries over a girl that wouldn't marry me. There are plenty of gay men who would give their left testicle to kiss you. ME: You're adorable. Oo I don't want their testicles. You're like my type exactly. HE: but I'm straight! ME: Crazy. Almost like a joke. Like you were made for me from the minute I saw you. I was like really? HE: I'll make a deal with you. Do you have any female friends that you could set me up with? ME: How is that a good deal for me? HE: You haven't heard my proposition yet. ME: Listening.... Then something else that gives away my identity and then... ME: Does it somehow involve me sucking your dick? HE: I'll give you the hottest kiss of your life if you hook me up with an attractive female with a high sex drive. ME: Holy shit. I want that kiss. I don't know women. You're teasing me. HE: That's impossible! I know plenty of gay men. You must know some horny straight women. Not teasing. I will hold up my end of the bargain. ME: Hmmm. I don't really have too many friends. Then more that gives my identity away. Then... ME: I mean I have a lot of horny FANS. That I do have. HE: I'm willing to up the anty as well ME: How so? HE: If you set me up with a hot famous actress, I will fuck you. ME: Hahahaha. I've never been fucked. That would be interesting. I'd let you though I think. Actress? Hm. HE: I'm serious. I will kiss you and you can suck my dick and I would fuck you two ways from Sunday. ME: Sweet. You'll be gentle? HE: Of course. And it goes on. Then he texts me a pic of his small erect dick as an "incentive." Says he "took that for a chick last week." I sent him a pick of mine and he laughed and said "I deleted it. I'm sure it's nice but not my cup of tea." So what does this all mean?

When will any of my Independent movies be released, even to Video? What about my triumphant return to Broadway... err, I mean ENCORES. Who doesn’t want to hear me sing Joey, Joey, Joey? Will the public ever believe I don’t' have genital warts….just a bad snip job? Will Jason ever get new dentures? Will Monty find true love? Place your bets, will Broadway's "Bad Boy" ever go back to being Broadway's "It Boy"?

Duck and cover, people, Oprah's death-ray eyes may turn on you at any moment. The only possible downside is if the Academy does an Affleck on this.
I love this show. The season finale just aired and it brought the usual drama and hysterics. Trina debuted her stage act for the entire family and was a success, amidst her own personal marriage drama. Tamar has decided that she wants kids (maybe), but wants to have "popsicle" babies (have the eggs frozen and have a surrogate carry them at a later date). Towanda offered to carry the child for her, but no more than one.
So Vicki emerges as the most sympathetic character this season? And Gretchen is fast on her way to becoming the least-liked non-housewife on a Housewife franchise. Of course, she's proposing to Slade with that lovely "will you marry me" song that not even auto-tune will be able to save. It amazes me that Gretchen continues to see herself as anything but talent-free.
Charming trailer for the probably white-washed history of Disney's adaptation of Mary Poppins. Tom Hanks IS Walt Disney. Emma Thompson IS PL Travers. Jason Schwartzman and BJ Novak ARE the Sherman Brothers. Ruth Wilson, Colin Farrell, and Rachel Griffiths play Travers' mother, father, and aunt, respectively, in flashbacks. And a fact that will definitely not be touched on, Travers was bisexual.

It's over. It was unnecessary, stupid, and damaging to mental health. We're best rid of it and I for one, feel that our new Almiqui overlords will have no truck with it. I know some of you have a self-loathing aesthetic attraction to it, but it is for man in a state of nature, not man in a state of society. Get over it, my little darlings. It is never coming back.
As the saying goes, “everything’s bigger in Texas,” and that certainly could apply to the level of kook-driven bigotry that seems to be teeming from the Lone Star state as of late. Just last month we told you about a charming group known as the Young Conservatives of Texas at the University of Texas that tried promoting a game called ”Catch an Illegal Immigrant” on Facebook, and of course Representative Louie Gohmert has a long history of mind-numbingly stupid and bigoted remarks. Now the people of Texas have someone else to be proud of. Larry SECEDE Kilgore (he legally changed his middle name from Scott to SECEDE in 2012) is running for Governor. Kilgore proudly calls himself a “Christian,” and has advocated for the death penalty for adulterers and women that have had abortions. He might be best known for his extreme anti-gay stances, and for making up words like “transvestism”: “Public use of vulgar sexual language would result in flogging. … Judges will flog more severely those convicted of transvestism.” In an interview with Lone Star Q on Monday, however, Kilgore has admitted that he’s willing to roll up his sleeves and work side-by-side with the homos in order to capture the ultimate prize - secession; “The only position I have is secession. I am a Christian, and I have lots of Christian beliefs. However, I am trying to build a coalition of all different types of people. I look at the lesbians and the homosexual folks and I say, ‘Hey, D.C. is stealing my money just like they’re stealing your money.’ After we get our freedom, then we can decide all that stuff — hopefully at a county level. Right now, lesbians and homosexuals and Christians may have differences with each other, but we’ve got a bigger enemy.” The Everlasting GOP Stoppers tracked down this video of Kilgore at a good-old boy rally ranting about how he “hates the U.S. flag,” and espousing the virtues of secession back in 2009. Hey, at least he’s consistent. Frankly, I’d love to see Texas try to go it on their own.

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

Kirstie Alley SLAMS Leah Remini on Howard Stern (Full Interview)
I know it infuriates many of you but an enormous number of men who like men want nothing to do with gay. You can scream and shout that they are self loathing, you can deride them and call them names behind their backs (and to their faces) but your hysterical rejection of them only strengthens their resolve to have 'nothing to do with gay'. Goy is one example, My nephew (whom I love) is open about 'dating men' but refuses the gay label and respectfully asks people not to refer to him using that word. I think it may have to do with the idea that the 'gay population' while embracing trans, and drag and every out of sync genderfuck out there forgot to embrace the masculine. In fact, even on this board if anyone dares call themselves masculine they are immediately touted as a 'Mary'. As men who love men move more into the mainstream with marriage and other rights there is less need for 'gay' as a label. Can those of you who love the word and the identity allow this gracefully, or will you go hissing into the night?
Right now, gay marriage is legal in The Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, South Africa, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Spain, Portugal, and Argentina.%0D\ %0D\ What country will be next?

We tear every other Christmas song to shreds, but this abomination is rarely mentioned. Let's see, it's cheesy, smarmy and cheaply produced, and instantly offensive to anyone who's dealt with death at the holidays. It's also painfully unfunny. Even if one could find humor in a deadly run-in with a wild animal, it's a tough joke to base an entire song around. Sorry, but "old woman killed by a deer" is not really a knee-slapper, unless you're a psychopath. I loathe this song and the corn pone hick who warbles it.

Ben Affleck knows the drill when it comes to the paparazzi, but he's sick and tired of his children being followed and photographed. In a new interview with Playboy, Affleck shares his thoughts on being in the spotlight and admits that although he's fine with photographers following him around, he's not okay with grown men chasing after his three kids -- Violet, 8, Seraphina, 4, and Samuel, 1 -- with Jennifer Garner. "You can say what you want about me. You can yell at me with a video camera and be TMZ. You can follow me around and take pictures all you want. I don't care. There are a couple of guys outside right now. Terrific. That's part of the deal. But it's wrong and disgusting to follow children around and take their picture and sell it for money," he tells Playboy. "It makes the kids less safe. They used to take pictures of our children coming out of preschool, and so this stalker who had threatened to kill me, my wife and our kids showed up at the school and got arrested. I mean, there are real practical dangers to this." "My kids aren't celebrities. They never made that bargain ... As their father it's my job to protect them from that stuff," Affleck explains to Playboy. "I try my very best, and sometimes I'm successful. The tragic thing is, people who see those pictures naturally think it’s sweet. They don't see the gigantic former gang member with a huge lens standing over a four-year-old and screaming to get the kid's attention." "The kids are always looking down because they're freaked out and scared of these people," he adds. "And so they yell. Which is fine if you're Lindsay Lohan coming out of a club, or me or any adult," remarks Affleck. "With kids it's tasteless at best."

It's a young adult novel written, I think, in the 60s. It's about a spunky teenaged girl who spends a hot summer in an apartment in Manhattan without her parents. I think a younger sibling or two live with her. It's a funny, quirky, coming of age book. Does that ring any bells?

Great character actor. Loved him in Thelma & Louise, Fatal Instinct, Quiz Show and all of the many films he's been in--small or big budget. He also had a great ass back in the day, particularly in Grease 2.
It's very distracting. It has that plastic sheen that people who have had too many facelifts get, and her mouth no longer moves realistically. Yet there are crinkly lines underneath her eyes. Was this an effort to make her look more "real"? If so, it ain't workin'.
I hope he's planning to star in it.

This story appears in the May 6, 2013, issue of Sports Illustrated. I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay. I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, "I'm different." If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand. My journey of self-discovery and self-acknowledgement began in my hometown of Los Angeles and has taken me through two state high school championships, the NCAA Final Four and the Elite Eight, and nine playoffs in 12 NBA seasons. I've played for six pro teams and have appeared in two NBA Finals. Ever heard of a parlor game called Three Degrees of Jason Collins? If you're in the league, and I haven't been your teammate, I surely have been one of your teammates' teammates. Or one of your teammates' teammates' teammates. Now I'm a free agent, literally and figuratively. I've reached that enviable state in life in which I can do pretty much what I want. And what I want is to continue to play basketball. I still love the game, and I still have something to offer. My coaches and teammates recognize that. At the same time, I want to be genuine and authentic and truthful. Why am I coming out now? Well, I started thinking about this in 2011 during the NBA player lockout. I'm a creature of routine. When the regular season ends I immediately dedicate myself to getting game ready for the opener of the next campaign in the fall. But the lockout wreaked havoc on my habits and forced me to confront who I really am and what I really want. With the season delayed, I trained and worked out. But I lacked the distraction that basketball had always provided. The first relative I came out to was my aunt Teri, a superior court judge in San Francisco. Her reaction surprised me. "I've known you were gay for years," she said. From that moment on I was comfortable in my own skin. In her presence I ignored my censor button for the first time. She gave me support. The relief I felt was a sweet release. Imagine you're in the oven, baking. Some of us know and accept our sexuality right away and some need more time to cook. I should know -- I baked for 33 years. When I was younger I dated women. I even got engaged. I thought I had to live a certain way. I thought I needed to marry a woman and raise kids with her. I kept telling myself the sky was red, but I always knew it was blue. I realized I needed to go public when Joe Kennedy, my old roommate at Stanford and now a Massachusetts congressman, told me he had just marched in Boston's 2012 Gay Pride Parade. I'm seldom jealous of others, but hearing what Joe had done filled me with envy. I was proud of him for participating but angry that as a closeted gay man I couldn't even cheer my straight friend on as a spectator. If I'd been questioned, I would have concocted half truths. What a shame to have to lie at a celebration of pride. I want to do the right thing and not hide anymore. I want to march for tolerance, acceptance and understanding. I want to take a stand and say, "Me, too."
We always talk about cock size and fine asses here, but I want to represent for those of us who love a man with a huge load...a heavy cummer who shoots a huge load, or shoots very far, or both. SPURT!

The man giving a sign language interpretation to the world at Nelson Mandela's memorial service was a fake whose gestures meant nothing, it has been revealed. Bruno Druchen The national director of the Deaf Federation of South Africa said the unnamed man seen on television next to leaders like US President Barack Obama "was moving his hands around but there was no meaning in what he used his hands for." South African MP Wilma Newhoudt, a member of the ruling party, also said the man communicated nothing with his hand and arm movements. Both Mr Druchen and Ms Newhoudt are deaf. Three sign language experts said the man was not signing in South African or American sign languages. South African sign language covers all of the country's 11 official languages. Nicole Du Toit, an official sign language interpreter who also watched the broadcast, said he was an embarrassment. "It was horrible, an absolute circus, really really bad," she said. "Only he can understand those gestures."

Police warned to 'keep their sticky fingers out' of Queen Elizabeth's nuts, court hears By Henry Austin, NBC News contributor LONDON - British police guarding Queen Elizabeth were told to “keep their sticky fingers out” of nuts laid out for guests around Buckingham Palace because the monarch was irked about how many they were eating, a London court heard Thursday. A memo was circulated to officers telling them to rein in their consumption because the monarch was miffed about the amount taken before the wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, a jury at The Old Bailey was told. The revelations emerged at the trial of former top editors at Rupert Murdoch’s now-defunct News of the World tabloid. They have been charged with phone hacking and other illegal activities, including the payment of public officials. News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman told his boss Andy Coulson about the incident in an email about possible stories he was working on in 2005, prosecutor Andrew Edis told the jury before reading them the message. “(There is) something about the behavior of the police which has upset the Queen, who are apparently helping themselves to the nuts and the like that are left out at the Palace,” Edis quoted the email as saying. Andy Coulson later became Prime Minister David Cameron's head of communications and stepped down as the allegations related to his previous job surfaced. The nuts laid out in advance of the royal wedding had been “scoffed by police,” Goodman added, using a British slang for scarf. This prompted the memo to be sent to officers, he wrote. “The problem is the police on patrol eats the lot,” Goodman wrote, adding that the notice was “telling them to keep their sticky fingers out.” When laughter broke out among jurors and in the public gallery, High Court Judge John Saunders was quick to point out, “these are unproven allegations.” The email was read during the prosecution evidence against Goodman, 56, and Coulson, 45, who are accused of a range of offenses, including corrupting a Royal Protection Officer by paying him for copies of the internal palace phone directories. The pair are on trial with six other defendants associated with the tabloid, including former News International Chief Executive Rebekah Brooks, who along with Coulson, Ian Edmondson and Stuart Kuttner, denies charges of phone hacking. Brooks also denies charges of making corrupt payments to public officials and perverting the course of justice, among other charges. Her former personal assistant, her husband Charlie, 50, and News International head of security Mark Hanna all deny helping her to engineer a cover-up before she was arrested. The trial is expected to last well into 2014.

Just thinking about the prospect not only saddens me but also scares me.

In their early days on television, Chris Hyndman says, he was tormented daily by hate mail. The worst part? Much of it came from the gay community. “The gay community can be pretty cold, and it’s pretty hard on you if people turn on you that you expect to really accept you because you’re a screaming queen,” Hyndman says. “Well, a lot of us are, but when a gay person says you’re a screaming queen, that’s pretty insulting because then you’re, like, Oh my god, you’re a queen to the queens.” “You would take them personally,”Steven Sabados chides. Ignoring the hate came more naturally to him. “It just rolled off my back because I don’t really care. You can’t hurt me. I’m just doing the best I can do, and if you don’t like it, then I don’t care,” he says.

She lost her boyfriend Cory Monteith unexpectedly last summer, and now Lea Michele is finally opening up about his death in the December 2013 issue of ELLE magazine During her interview with the publication, the "Glee" star shared her true feelings about losing Cory and revealed how Kate Hudson helped her through the ordeal. On getting through Cory's passing: "I never thought I would be in this position in my whole life. Now that I am in this position, you can choose to rise, and that's what I'm going to try to do. I know that Cory would want nothing more than for me to take this situation and use it to help people." On Kate lending a helping hand to her: "I called [Kate Hudson] and said, 'I don't know where I'm going to go because my house is swarmed [with reporters].' She was like, 'Oh, you're going to stay at my house.' Like it was nothing. No one knew I was there. I'll never really be able to thank her, truly, for what she did for me." On taking time away from the cameras: "It's very hard. And you have to be very strong to come out of this alive, but I think by doing the best for myself, by showing that you don't have to lose yourself, maybe someone else will feel some sort of strength or comfort."

My sister, a nurse, said that there's a very strong bug making the rounds. I've been sick as a dog since Thursday night. I tend to develop a secondary bacterial bronchial infection when I get a cold, so am on pre-emptive antibiotics. I started a new job last week, where just about everyone was sick, so I know I picked it up there. Anyone else here living this hell at the moment?
A 6-year-old boy was suspended from school for sexual harassment and now his mother is fighting to get the incident removed from his school record. “It was during class, yeah. We were doing reading group and I leaned over and kissed her on the hand. That’s what happened,” Hunter Yelton said. For that kiss, the first-grader is home instead of at school. “I did something wrong. They sent me to the office, fair and square. I feel sorry,” he said. “She was fine with it, they are ‘boyfriend and girlfriend,’” said Hunter’s mother Jennifer Yelton. “The other children saw it and went to the music teacher. That was the day I had the meeting with the principal, where she first said sexual harassment. This is taking it to an extreme that doesn’t need to be met with a 6-year-old. Now my son is asking questions; ‘what is sex mommy?’ It should not ever be said, sex, in a sentence with a 6-year-old,” Yelton said. According to KRDO, both Hunter and his mom admit he has had some trouble at school in the past. He was suspended before for rough-housing and for kissing the same girl on the cheek. “We’ve been working with him with the classroom disruption. He was grounded for awhile. Big restrictions,” Yelton said. When asked if he was trying to be good in school, Hunter replied, “Yeah, but I have a lot of energy. I mean 6-year-olds, they have a lot of energy!” The superintendent at Hunter’s school says his record will remain within the district. He also stressed that Hunter’s actions fit the school policy description for sexual harassment. “How can you do this? How can you say this about my child? Remove sexual harassment, remove it from his record. I need to stand up and fight for him because that’s not the case. That’s not what happened at all,” Yelton said. A child clinical psychologist says it is normal for 6-year-old boys to try and kiss girls. She believes suspending him and calling the kiss a form of sexual harassment sends mixed messages to children. Instead, she believes the school should use it as a learning opportunity.
Boy, 6, Suspended For ‘Sexual Harassment’ After Kissing Girl

British-born photographer Kate Barry, daughter of the actor and singer Jane Birkin, has died after falling from the window of her fourth-floor Paris flat. Her body was found around 6.30pm on Wednesday on the pavement outside her home in the 16th arrondissement. Barry, 46, was Birkin's eldest daughter and was born in London. Her father was the British composer John Barry, best known for his film music including the James Bond theme and Out of Africa. He died in 2011.

I just learned that 50s/60s sitcom star Bea Benederet of Burns & Allen/Petticoat Junction fame (and btw, Lucy's first choice for the Ethel Mertz role), is the mother of actor Jack Bannon (pictured; "Lou Grant", among many shows), who played Scott Easton, the character who stole Val's babies on Knots Landing. This is fascinating. Any others I should be aware of?

She's suddenly ubiquitous, this type of actress -- just not on the big or small screen. She graces red carpets and Fashion Week front rows wearing next season's Dolce, Zac, Marc and Elie -- the perks of being a personal friend of the house -- with the most-craved Celine or Alexander McQueen bag, not yet even on preorder, on her arm. Yet she might not have done a project in years, and if she has, well, you haven't heard of it. Still, she is a legitimate actress, having starred in a few rom-coms, action flicks or horror films, looking gorgeous in all of them. No fake noses or weight gain for this girl. Today, said actress spends the majority of her time modeling on arrival lines as opposed to runways. Remember when models just wanted to be actresses? These days, a certain lanky, large-eyed genre of B-list-and-lower actresses have, for all intents and purposes, added "model" to their business-savvy hyphenate titles. Meet the 2013 version of the model-actress -- or, the mocktress. But don't pity her. She makes the majority of her income -- a very good income -- this way. Last year, according to sources in event planning, marketing and branding, Jessica Alba and Kate Bosworth each earned $100,000 per public appearance. Maybe they weren't paid to attend Chanel shows -- they just got to keep 15 grand worth of clothes and bags -- but they were no doubt monetized for attending the Giffoni Film Festival in Italy, the opening of the Montblanc concept store in Beijing, the Audi Aspen Holiday party and the Topshop/Topman store opening in L.A. Alba alone attended about 43 events in 2012 -- the old "opening of an envelope" line comes to mind -- and for tres chic Diane Kruger, it was 31 events. Kruger is becoming better known for being well-dressed than her occasional yet interesting acting choices. No doubt she makes more money that way. Precisely how much is a function of visibility. Rachel Bilson used to be out and about all the time in between 2007's The O.C. and landing Hart of Dixie in 2011. Now, because of higher demands on her time (i.e., she's working), she garners $150,000 for an appearance, while Camilla Belle, with less frequent and more obscure projects (Cavemen, I Brake for Gringos), earns $20,000 to $50,000 to sit front-row at a fashion show or show up looking chic at the Samsung Galaxy Note Launch Event in New York. "A lot of these girls are beautiful and had a little luck in that the type of feature film they first acted in led to easy stardom," explains Marilyn Heston, owner of MHA, which represents fashion brands and wrangles celebs to wear their looks. "As ingenues, Camilla Belle was in 10,000 BC and Kate Bosworth in Blue Crush. Both films were highly visible domestically and overseas with young and sexy casts, and they had strong studio press campaigns. Fashion houses took note and quickly adopted them as 'fashion girls.' I remember when Roberto Cavalli made a plunging V-neck blue chiffon cocktail dress for the premiere of Blue Crush, he asked, 'Who's Kate Bosworth?' -- but sure enough, he got tons of press because she looked so great." Note Twilight ingenue and new mocktress Ashley Greene, who models for DKNY ads while being splashed all over Who What Wear-style websites for what she wears about town. Her next role after the vampire franchise is a horror movie called Random. January Jones now is better known for flamboyant fashion choices than her parts beyond Mad Men, i.e., X-Men: First Class. Mocktresses-in-training Hailee Steinfeld and Elle Fanning, despite being in school, get paid to play dress-up and go out, sometimes in designer outfits well beyond their years.

I've owned three sofas in my life and they have all worn out in a couple of years. They weren't supportive and were uncomfortable to sleep on. Look on Craigslist for sofas and you'll find a bunch of droopy misshapen cushions and wear and tear. Sofas just look bad after a few months. Is there something out there that's worth looking at? Anyone here know furniture who can lead me in e right direction? And yes, my sofas have been designer brands ($2000 and up in price) and no, I am not fat. Thanks in advance.
I just watched 15 minutes of Super Fun Night. How dare you make a mockery of peanut allergy !!!!!!!!! IT IS NOT FUNNY AT ALL !!!!!! My grandson is deathly allergic to peanuts, tree nuts and would go into anaphylactic shock if he consumed or was in contact. I am so disgusted with your making a joke of it. SHAME ON YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHAME ON YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The truth of the matter is that if someone with an allergy were to consume something that contained even a small trace of nuts or tree nuts , they would have the same reaction shown on your show FOR REAL. Then they would have to be injected with an epi-pen which has to be in there possession at all times. Afterward they would have to go to the ER for observation. I think an apology is in order and that there should be no more joking about that matter. Please. It is no laughing matter. We live in fear all the time , have to read labels, explain to relatives, school and restaurants. How dare you, Rebel. For shame, for shame.

Dang. The Orwellian doublespeak they keep coming up with is staggering. I hope some of his teabagging nitwit followers are among the 1.3 million. Extending federal unemployment benefits would actually be a “disservice” to the millions of out-of-work Americans who receive them, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said Sunday. "I do support unemployment benefits for the 26 weeks that they're paid for. If you extend it beyond that, you do a disservice to these workers," the popular Tea Party Republican said on “Fox News Sunday." "When you allow people to be on unemployment insurance for 99 weeks, you're causing them to become part of this perpetual unemployed group in our economy," Paul added. Paul’s comments come in response to efforts by congressional Democrats to extend the benefits as part of a year-end budget deal, but most Republicans have rejected the package due to the estimated $25 billion price tag. About 1.3 million jobless Americans are slated to lose their federal benefits at the end of the year if Congress doesn’t renew the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program that provides a federal safety net to the long-term jobless whose state benefits have expired.

Several months ago I got a text from a married coworker late in the evening. He asked if I’d been flirting with him during an interaction that afternoon. I assured him that I was not (good body horrible personality) he responded that he’d been with guys before I told him that this was not a discussion for text messaging and that if he wanted to he could come by my office and talk, otherwise I’d forget that the texts existed. He asked me to delete the texts and that was the end of it. The conversation never felt quite right and after a few days I just stopped thinking about it. This particular coworker has been very overly friendly in what felt like a purposefully annoying way for over a year now when greeting me he even used this SNL frat boy voice that made me cringe. Other than this being his annoying personality I never gave it much thought. Yesterday I discovered that his bizarre behavior towards me was an was an inside joke and that for over a year he and a few of the other “good ole boys” had been laughing about it, that even those annoying greetings had been, in effect, him calling me a faggot. The only good thing I can say about the situation is how happy I am that I didn't respond to those texts in a positive way. I could never have gotten over the humiliation of playing into him/them like that. I want revenge. Holy shit do I want satisfaction. Any Ideas???
My sister and her son are staying with me for the holidays. She's staying in the guest room and he's sleeping on the couch. They got in yesterday and he's already made the living room his home with his videos games, sodas and fast food wrappers everywhere. It's just a mess. I'm at work now and just checked a cam site and see he's broadcasting from my living room. WTF, why would you do that when you're a guest in someone else's home?! At first I didn't even recognize him but I sure as hell recognized my couch! Yikes, he didn't put a towel down on the couch. It's my favorite couch too but I guess it's going to the Salvation Army now. I don't know if I should talk to my sister about what he's doing or talk to him directly or just let it go and pretend nothing happened. Either way it's going to be an uncomfortable Christmas now. Ugh!

I know I'm going to sound like an asshole, because I know it's the thought that counts. However,[italic] I hate to think of my friends and family spending money on something I'll never use or enjoy.[/italic]if I'm getting a gift for someone I make sure they want and/or need it. Last year we got an expensive but hideous set of dishes, linen napkins and napkin rings from my partners mom (who I adore). They are so off base as far as what we would have chosen, and the colors are ghastly. Then my friend got me a camera/attachment thing for my iPhone. I was upgrading in 2 weeks and ended up with a Samsung. Another got us one of those beautiful tea sets and some loose tea from Teavana. I drink tea maybe once or twice a year. There are things we actually want, need and will use - but for some reason, people always guess, or get what they want you to have, or think you should have. So, am I the only asshole here?

I'm finding I'm always drawn to the fat guys on Cam4 or Chaturbate. Sometimes it's out of morbid curiousity since you can't really see these guys naked in porn. No porn studio would accept them without a good body. So it's kind of a rare thing to see these types show off their dicks. Some of them are actually really cute. They're like fratboys who drink too much and don't go to the gym. Here's an example of a cute fattie.

Donny Osmond knows a thing or two about being a teen idol, and in a new interview with Closer Weekly, the 56-year-old singer lobs some advice at Justin Bieber, a teen going through his own idol struggles. "I'm just a normal guy, and Donny & Marie left me with such a wacky image," Osmond told the magazine. "Since 'Puppy Love' and 'Go Away Little Girl' were such big records, I went through a period when I hated it." He said Bieber is "feeling the pains of this right now."

Last month Nick Cannon expressed his disdain for movies such as “Django Unchained” and “12 Years a Slave,” saying he’s tired of seeing Black people portrayed as slaves on film. Recognizing that African people’s history started prior to being enslaved, the actor tweeted that he would like to see Blacks portray kings and queens in films instead. “Why don’t they make movies about our African kings & queens? #OurHistory I would love to see a film about Akhenaton and his beautiful wife Queen Nefertiti! Or Cetewayo, a king who was a war hero. Im about to drive to my office right now and start the development! New Hollywood Trend, Black king and queen films! Starring Black people!!” Below are 10 kings and queens whose extraordinary accomplishments would make great storylines for films. King Hannibal is said to be the greatest military leader and strategist of all time. Hannibal was born in 247 B.C., during the beginning of the decline of Carthage, then a maritime power near present-day Tunis in North Africa. The Carthage population was a mix of Africans and Phoenicians who were great merchants, trading with India, the people of the Mediterranean and the Scilly Isles. When he was very young, about 8 or 9, Hannibal accompanied his father Hamilclar in a battle against the Romans. Seventeen years later in 221 B.C., he succeeded his brother-in-law Hasdrubal, and became supreme commander of the peninsula. Hannibal had 80,000 infantry, 12,000 cavalry, and 40 African war elephants. He conquered major portions of Spain and France, and all of Italy, except for Rome. Hannibal marched his army and war elephants through the Alps to surprise and conquer his enemies. In one battle, the Romans put 80,000 men on the field led by Scipio to defeat Hannibal. When Scipio attacked with his entire army, Hannibal had so studied the grounds that he arranged his African swordsmen and elephants to trampled and slaughter them. After killing thousands of Roman soilders in lengthy battle, Hannibal took his own life rather than surrender when he was overwhelmed by the larger Roman army. King Mansa Musa I (Emperor Moses) was an important Malian king, ruling from 1312 to 1337 and expanding the Mali influence over the Niger city-states of Timbuktu, Gao, and Djenne. Musa ruled the Mali Empire and was estimated to have been worth the equivalent of $400 billion in today’s currency, which makes him the richest man to ever walk this earth. The emperor was a master businessman and economist, and gained his wealth through Mali’s supply of gold, salt and ivory, the main commodities for most of the world during that time. Musa maintained a huge army that kept peace and policed the trade routes for his businesses. His armies pushed the borders of Mali from the Atlantic coast in the west; beyond the cities of Timbuktu and Gao in the east; and from the salt mines of Taghaza in the north to the gold mines of Wangar in the south. Musa was also a major influence on the University of Timbuktu, the world’s first university and the major learning institution for not just of Africa but the world. Timbuktu became a meeting place of poets, scholars and artists of Africa and the Middle East. Even after Mali declined, Timbuktu remained the major learning center of Africa for many years. Shaka, king of the Zulus, was born in 1787, the son of Zulu Chief Senzangakhona and his wife Nandi. When Shaka was 26, his father died and left the throne to a son, Sijuana. Shaka ambushed and killed Sijuana, taking leadership of the Zulus. He came to power around 1818. A strong leader and military innovator, Shaka is noted for revolutionizing 19th century Bantu warfare by first grouping regiments by age, and training his men to use standardized weapons and special tactics. He invented the “assegai,” a short stabbing spear, and marched his regiments in tight formation, using large shields to fend off the enemies throwing spears. Over the years, Shaka’s troops earned such a reputation that many enemies would flee at the sight of them. With cunning and confidence as his tools, Shaka built a small Zulu tribe into a powerful nation of more than a million people, and united all tribes in South Africa against European colonial rule. The Zulu nation continued to use Shaka’s innovations in wars after his death. Near the end of the 19th century, the British exiled King Prempeh from the hinterlands of the Gold Coast (present day Ghana), in an attempt to take over. By 1900, still not gaining control, the British sent a governor to the city of Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti, to demand the Golden Stool, the Ark of the Covenant for the Ashanti people. The Golden Stool was the supreme symbol of the sovereignty and the independence of the Ashanti, a people who inhabited dense rain forests of what is now the central portion of Ghana. The governor in no way understood the sacred significance of the Golden Stool, which according to tradition, contained the soul of the Ashanti. Nana Yaa Asantewa was present at the meeting with the governor and chiefs. When the meeting ended, and she was alone with the Ashanti chiefs, she said: “Now I have seen that some of you fear to fight for our king. If it were in the brave days of old, the days of Osei Tutu, Okomfo Anoyke and Opulu Ware, Ashanti chiefs would not sit down to see their king taken away without firing a shot. No white man could have dared speak to Ashanti chiefs in the way the governor spoke to you chiefs this morning.” Nana Yaa Asantewa’s speech stirred the men. She said, “If you men will not go forward, then we the women will. I will call upon my fellow women. We will fight the white men until the last of us falls in the battlefields.” The Ashantis, led by Nana Yaa Asantewa, fought very bravely. King Ramesses II, also referred to as Ramesses the Great, was the third Egyptian pharaoh of the 19th dynasty. He reigned from 1279 B.C. to 1213 B.C. He is often regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire. His successors and later Egyptians called him the “Great Ancestor.” Ramesses II led several military expeditions into the Levant, reasserting Egyptian control over Canaan. He also led expeditions south into Nubia, commemorated in inscriptions at the temples at Beit el-Wali and Gerf Hussein. At age 14, Ramesses was appointed prince regent by his father Seti I. He is believed to have taken the throne in his late teens and is known to have ruled Egypt for 66 years and 2 months, according to Egypt’s contemporary historical records. He was once reported to have lived to 99 years old. Queen Nefertari was the Nubian queen from 1292 to 1225 B.C. One of a many great Nubian queens, Nefertari is heralded as the queen who wed for peace. Her marriage to Ramesses II began strictly as a political move, a sharing of power between two leaders. But not only did it grow into one of the greatest royal love affairs in history, but brought the hundred year war between Nubia and Egypt to an end. Their story was an armistice that lasted over a hundred years. Even today, a monument stands in Queen Nefertari’s honor. In fact, the temple which Ramesses built for her at Abu Simbel is one of the largest and most beautiful structures ever built to honor a wife. Amenhotep IV, better known as “Akhenaton” is in some respects the most remarkable of the pharaohs. Akhenaton is considered the founder of the first monotheistic religion. He ruled from approximately 1352 – 1336 B.C., coming into power after his father, Amenhotep III, died. Akhenaton’s reign left a profound effect on Egypt and the entire world of his day. Thirteen hundred years before Christ, he preached and lived the gospel of perfect love, brotherhood, and truth. Two thousand years before Muhammed, he taught the doctrine of the “one God.” Three thousand years before Darwin, he sensed the unity that runs through all living things. The account of Akhenaton is not complete without the story of his beautiful wife, Nefertiti. What is known is that the relationship between Akhenaton and Nefertiti was one of history’s first well-known love stories. At the prompting of Akhenaton and Nefertiti, sculptors and artists began to recreate life in its natural state, instead of the rigid and lifeless forms of early Egyptian art. Taharqa is probably one of the most famous rulers of Napatan Kush, reigning from 690 to 664 B.C.. At 16, this great Nubian king led his armies against the invading Assyrians in defense of his ally, Israel. This action earned him a place in the Bible (Isaiah 37:9, 2 Kings 19:9). During his 25-year rule, Taharqa controlled the largest empire in ancient Africa. His power was equaled only by the Assyrians. These two forces were in constant conflict, but despite continuous warfare, Taharqa was able to initiate a building program throughout his empire, which was overwhelming in scope. The number and majesty of his building projects were legendary, with the greatest being the temple at Gebel Barkal in the Sudan. The temple was carved from rock and decorated with images of Taharqa over 100 feet high. Queen Nzingha or “Amazon Queen of Matamba” was born in West Africa in 1583 and died 1663. Many women ranked among the great rulers of Africa, including this Angolan queen who was an astute diplomat and excelled as a military leader. When the slave-hunting Portuguese attacked the army of her brother’s kingdom, Nzingha was sent to negotiate the peace. She did so with astonishing skill and political tact, despite the fact that her brother had her only child killed. She later formed her own army against the Portuguese, and waged war for nearly 30 years. These battles were a unique moment in colonial history as Nzingha allied her nation with the Dutch, marking the first African-European alliance against a European oppressor. Nzingha continued to wield considerable influence among her subjects despite being forced into exile. Because of her quest for freedom and relentless drive to bring peace to her people, Nzingha remains a glimmering symbol of inspiration. In 960 B.C., the nation that is now called Ethiopia came back upon the center of the stage of history. Ethiopia was then represented by a queen, who in some books is referred to as “Makeda” or “Belkis.” She is better known to the world as the queen of Sheba. In his book, “World’s Great Men of Color,” J.A. Rogers , gives this description: “Out of the mists of 3,000 years, emerges this beautiful story of an African queen who, attracted by the fame of a Judean monarch, made a long journey to see him.” The queen of Sheba is said to have undertaken a long and difficult journey to Jerusalem to learn from the wisdom of the great King Solomon. Makeda and King Solomon were equally impressed with each other. Out of their relationship was born a son, Menelik I. This queen is said to have reigned over Sheba and Arabia as well as Ethiopia. The queen of Sheba’s capital was Debra Makeda, which she built for herself. In Ethiopia’s church of Aksum , there is a copy of what is said to be one of the Tables of Law that Solomon gave to Menelik I. The story of the queen of Sheba is deeply cherished in Ethiopia, as part of the national heritage. This African queen is mentioned in two holy books, the Bible and the Quran.

Melissa Joan Hart‘s new memoir is called “Melissa Explains It All,” and among the things the actress is explaining in the tome are her past drug-fueled exploits and celebrity hookups. Speaking to Life & Style magazine about the book, which comes out Oct. 29, the former teen star of “Clarissa Explains It All,” now 37, said, “I experimented with weed, Ecstasy, mushrooms and mescaline for about a year and a half.” She also claimed that in 1999, during her “third or fourth time on Ecstasy,” she made out in a limo with another girl on the way home, and then arrived at a photo shoot the next day while still high. However, Hart insists that, while she dabbled in drugs, she never became addicted. “I was kind of running with a bad crowd,” she said. “I just didn’t enjoy taking drugs.

One star whose charms she didn’t succumb to: Ashton Kutcher, who she says she tried to eject from her parties not once, but twice, for making “smartass remarks.” Hart says, “Ashton and I just didn’t get along.”

Taking some time away from the industry to better himself, Adam Shankman checked in to a rehabilitation center on Monday (December 9). The "Hairspray" director's representative released a statement reading, "Adam Shankman is currently seeking treatment in a rehabilitation center. His friends and family support him and wish him well on his journey to recovery." On Sunday, the 49-year-old made an appearance at Trevor Live LA. Mr. Shankman has spearheaded numerous films, including "Rock of Ages" and "The Wedding Planner."

Of course I don't think a deity could possibly have a personal relationship with all of the living entities that evolve in the universe the 'deity' created. Mans sense of importance is unbelievable. For some reason we seem to be very impressed with ourselves. All this religious stuff is so contradictory. The results seems to be a human deity with our sensibilities. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. Surely a deity could do much better.

One Direction have already conquered the music world -- now one of the fab five is set to take the football world by storm. Louis Tomlinson has signed a deal with English second division club Doncaster Rovers in one of the most bizarre deals for some time. Tomlinson, who stars alongside Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Liam Pain, is part of biggest and most successful boy band on the planet. One Direction have broken record after record during their rise from losing in Britain's X-Factor competition in 2010 to becoming as big as the Beatles stateside. Managed by music mogul Simon Cowell, One Direction have had 61 album and single number one's world wide with their last album "Take Me Home" reaching top spot in 37 different countries. They are the only UK band to have had their first two albums reach No.1 in the U.S. and have over 18.5 million Facebook fans and 71 million combined followers on Twitter. Tomlinson, 21 was born in Doncaster and has signed a deal which means he could feature for the team at any point this season. He hopes his appearance for Rovers will help raise money for local charity Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice. "This has always been a childhood dream for me," he told the club's official website. "I feel very honored to have been asked to sign for Rovers and being able to help both the club and the amazing charity Bluebell Wood is what it's all about." While Tomlinson is used to having thousands upon thousands of screaming "Directioners" cheering at him on stage, he'll be performing in far more modest surroundings at the 15,000 seater Keepmoat Stadium. As a child, Tomlinson used to attend games both as a fan and as a ball boy but his heavy work schedule means he will face a real challenge to be available for a cameo appearance. He will miss Doncaster's first game of the season against Blackpool on Saturday with One Direction set to perform in Las Vegas before the group move onto California. Tomlinson will then be touring Australia and New Zealand in September and October with the band appearing in Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne before moving onto Christchurch and Auckland. But that has not deterred Rovers, with the club fully aware of Tomlinson's ability to lure in new fans. "Louis has always been passionate about football and wanted to realize a dream of signing to his home town club where he once worked on match days," said a statement on the club's official website. "After discussions between Louis, Paul Dickov and media manager Steve Uttley, it was decided that the club could sign him and issue him with a squad number for the 2013/2014 season. "As part of the signing it is hoped that Louis will be able to appear in Rovers colors at some point this season in aid of Bluebell Wood and train with the lads. "Chairman John Ryan and the manager Paul Dickov have given Louis the number 28 shirt for this season to help him raise money for Bluebell Wood."
BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — More than 18 million television viewers watched Carrie Underwood perform the role of Maria last week in NBC's "The Sound of Music Live!" But Julie Andrews wasn't among them. Andrews, who starred in the 1965 Oscar-winning film adaptation of the Rodgers & Hammerstein classic, explained, "Alas, I did not (see it). I had a speaking engagement and I couldn't. But my kids did record it. I'll get around to it." She attended the U.S. premiere Monday night of "Saving Mr. Banks," which depicts the battle between P.L. Travers, author of the "Mary Poppins" novels, and Walt Disney, who worked for decades to persuade the writer that the "Poppins" tales would make a fine film. "Saving Mr. Banks" picks up the story in 1961, when the London-based Travers finally agreed to a two-week visit to Los Angeles to meet with Disney and his creative team. Before signing over the film rights, Travers wanted to see Disney's treatment of her source material, and quickly proved a brutal critic and difficult collaborator — shredding key decisions about the film adaptation, including casting. In "Banks," Travers (played by Emma Thompson) goes on a tirade about the hiring of Dick Van Dyke. On the arrivals line, Van Dyke revealed an additional Travers tidbit that isn't in the movie. "Well, she wasn't thrilled with Julie, either," he said. "She wanted a dumpy little Mary Poppins. She didn't want a pretty girl. So, she didn't like either one of us." The Disney-Travers battle was concluded before Andrews was deep into production. "I had heard rumors, no doubt about it," the actress said, adding that she and Travers became friendly and later wrote letters to each other. "She was a tough lady," Andrews said. "But there was a kind of sadness underneath all that toughness, too." Disney ultimately won his battle with Travers, whose notes on the film were largely ignored. "Mary Poppins" would become the most profitable film of 1965 and is widely considered the crowning artistic achievement of Disney's lifetime. But Travers still wasn't happy with it, said Van Dyke. "Walt told me when the premiere was over, she met him in the lobby and said, 'The animation has to go, Walt' ... and Walt said, 'The boat sailed, Mary,'" recalled Van Dyke. "Saving Mr. Banks" opens in limited release in the U.S. this weekend.

Arm yourself with knowledge. This link includes all the info you need about the Affordable Care Act (aka "ObamaCare"), in plain English. It tells you what is in it, and when things to into effect. It explains this whole "is it a tax? is it a mandate?" thing as well... exposing all the lies the right is pushing. Know the facts. Then spread them around. Confront anyone who doesn't know what they're talking about, or who is spreading lies. Lots of great, easy to understand info at the link:
The men I've dated have generally been like me: a good balance between masculine and feminine, very un-stereoptypical. The straight people in my circle, both men and women, are pretty much the same. Now I'm dating a guy who has never been with a woman, is proudly and openly gay, but is stereotypically masculine (the only deviation from the straight "norm" is no love of sports). In our social relationship, I find myself taking the more "female" role. He's strong and protective, I'm nurturing and supportive. I'm intuitive and emotional, he's...not so much. He's a good cuddler, but he kisses like a straight guy. In the bedroom, however, the tables are turned. I'm in total charge, your basic pushy bottom. He loves to be submissive; when he tops me, it's upon my direction! I'm having a great time, but it blows my mind a little bit. I've had several long-lasting relationships before, but this is the first time we've played out the "straight" stereotypes so clearly. I've always shunned stereotypes. It's odd to be embracing them now. What are the role dynamics in your relationship?
Wasn't she the go-to female child star at the time? And it's obvious her mother/manager wasn't afraid of edgy roles.
I am more hesitant about my choices here, because people are less vocal about their favorite male performances on DL than their favorite female performances. But again, I've left "Other--please list" as an option.
Does anyone know why Dr. Lisa Masterson has left the show? They have a new season starting and she is gone, baby, gone. Wiped from the show's website, too. Two new women have been added.

It’s a big day for John Hughes fans, as Sixteen Candles heartthrob Michael Schoeffling, who played dream guy Jake Ryan, celebrates his birthday today! It’s been nearly 30 years since the teen cult classic came out, and we can hardly believe it, but Michael is turning the big 5-3! Born on December 10, 1960 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Michael peaked in the industry at 23 as quiet, plaid-wearing dreamboat Jake. However, showing Molly Ringwald’s Sam that dreams come true turned out to be a problem for Mikey S. After the film, he appeared in only eight more movies and one television show before disappearing off the map. These included Vision Quest, Mermaids, and Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken, with the last of those, in 1991, his final movie before retiring from the industry at the ripe age of 31. Although he gave some interviews after, talking about how hard it was to find good roles once the magic wore off, he’s largely vanished. In a 2004 article, The Washington Post said that he hadn’t really been seen or heard from in years, having married a woman named Valerie, raised a couple kids, and worked as a carpenter in Pennsylvania. The rumor is that Michael’s wife is named Valerie Robinson, and that she (a former model) and Michael live in Newfoundland, Pennsylvania with their two kids, Scarlet and Zane. Though many have tried to find him, tracking down the handcrafted furniture shop he is said to be running, no one has been successful. We miss you, Jake Ryan — yeah, you — and hope, as you blow out your 53 candles, you remember that we’ll always love you, wherever you are.

The policy hasn't been enforced, it's just a reminder for the customers to be polite. [italic]A cafe on the French Riviera has gained international notoriety after reminding customers to mind their manners. What started as a local joke generated an internet buzz this week after a diner tweeted the sign outside the Petite Syrah in Nice on the Côte d'Azur. In an attempt to turn the tables on customers who complain that serving staff are rude, the manager warned he would hit impolite customers where it hurts, in the pocket. A sign outside the establishment states: "Un café - €7 [£5.90] "Un café s'il vous plaît - €4.25 "Bonjour, un café, s'il vous plaît - €1.40."[/italic]

a friend i asked over for dinner last night brought a great one as a gift. It was Harry & David. So moist, and it must have had burbon or rum. Anyway, I ate two sliced late last night and another for breakfast and two today. Finally I took it down the hall and tossed it in the trash chute. I feel bloated… like I gained 5 lbs.

I watched this last night and I don''t get it. Why is it talked about so much? None of them were good actresses and the plot was boring. Was this the original campfest?

I've gotten into a nasty habit of staying up until 3 am or so, putzing about my house, because I do not want to go to sleep...because then it'd be morning and I'd have to go to work. I want to laze about for as long as I can. Anyway I am averaging about four hours of sleep per night and exhausted, but I want to extend my lazy hours and I dread the thought of going to work each morning, doing the commute, gobbling my cereal, etc. On the weekends I have no trouble tucking into bed at 11. Does anyone else do this?

BY SHAUN KITCHENER ON JULY 18, 2013 Zachary Quinto Splits From Glee's Jonathan Groff: 'They Remain Friends' Couple have reportedly gone their separate ways Zachary Quinto and Jonathan Groff have reportedly split up, but remain on good terms. The Star Trek actor is even thought to have seen Groff in a play recently, months after they parted ways unnoticed. According to Gossip Cop's source, rumours that the relationship ended explosively are false, and there is "nothing salacious" about the story. The couple confirmed they were an item last year, one year after Quinto announced that he is gay. Following the success of Star Trek Into Darkness earlier this year, Quinto will soon be diving into a threequel - and he reckons it could start shooting in 2014, despite JJ Abrams' involvement with Star Wars. "Star Trek 3 should be filming, I suppose, next year," he told Buzzhub. "It’s going to be made a lot quicker than the last one. That’s the plan, although nothing is confirmed yet." Groff, meanwhile, has previously appeared in 12 episodes of Glee in the recurring role of Jesse St James, and he's also been seen in The Good Wife and The Conspirator.

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

Governor Pat McCrory (R-NC) decided to talk about me when asked by a reporter with WFMY. He doesn’t know why a 12 year old girl would be at his gates at 10:30 at night. I wasn’t hungry for food. I had eaten dinner before I left and had chips, nuts, and drinks to bring and share with the other people demonstrating at the mansion that night. I was hungry for my rights and the rights and opportunities of my fellow citizens. Governor McCrory claims he tried to help me. He went on a conservative radio show over the summer and called me a prop for liberal groups and pretty much calls me the same thing here. This is not helping. It’s not helping the young people of North Carolina to have a leader who ignores and insults us. Shame on Governor McCrory. He responds to a young citizen with lies and his own sick version of a “Yo Momma” joke. My mom is not involved with Move On but I’m proud to have discovered them after the protest at his mansion and I’m proud to be a member. My petition to meet with the Governor has over 13,000 signatures. Governor McCrory fails to realize that each signature represents an ordinary citizen, just like me. I’m more convinced than ever Governor McCrory is incapable of leading North Carolina’s future. I hope that my latest petition on Move On will get even more signatures than my first. I want to see a federal law enacted giving 16 and 17 year olds the opportunity to pre-register to vote. This opportunity and the education programs that went along with it were taken from NC’s young people in the new voting bill signed by Governor McCrory. Governor McCrory did acknowledge that I’m a “very bright girl” but he doesn’t seem to realize that there are other bright young people in his state and around this country. We’re hungry. We are hungry for leadership who will feed us with knowledge, consideration, and opportunities and aid us in our task of creating a better future. “I had a 12 year old girl outside my gate at 10:30 at night, saying that she was hungry,” Pat McCrory said. The young people of this state and this nation will stand at every gate and we will make our voices heard at every hour. Make no mistake what it is we are hungry for.

He's 24, but she is older than his mother. He%E2%80%99s a strict Muslim, she has fervent Kabbalah beliefs. So it was hardly likely to last. Madonna, 52, has split from her lover Brahim Zaibat, a hip-hop dancer, after nine months, the Daily Mail has learned. Last night a close friend of Zaibat%E2%80%99s said sarcastically: %E2%80%98Who%E2%80%99s Madonna?%E2%80%99 The friend added: %E2%80%98Brahim has been home and he%E2%80%99s a single guy. %E2%80%98He%E2%80%99s no longer an item with Madonna. He%E2%80%99s very happy. There%E2%80%99s nothing more to say.%E2%80%99 He is believed to be lying low at his family%E2%80%99s home in Lyon in France. But Madonna was happy to be pictured stepping out alone at the Annual Costume Institute gala in New York this week. She sparkled in a floor-length blue gown adorned with stars down its back and designed by her friend Stella McCartney. Referring to Madonna%E2%80%99s devotion to Kabbalah, a mystical branch of Judaism, a source close to Zaibat added: %E2%80%98Brahim%E2%80%99s family had told him they did not want him going to Kabbalah meetings and wanted him to stick to his Muslim beliefs, which caused some rows. %E2%80%98Things started to turn sour and they were hardly seeing each other.%E2%80%99 The couple met in September last year and had been spotted at some of London%E2%80%99s most exclusive restaurants. Last year Zaibat%E2%80%99s mother Patricia Vidal told how she received a call from her son, who was in New York, when he revealed: %E2%80%98I%E2%80%99ve got a new girlfriend.%E2%80%99 The mother of four was unperturbed when he mentioned an age gap of eight years. She said: %E2%80%98You%E2%80%99ve always been mature for your age %E2%80%93 it will be good to spend some time with a girl who%E2%80%99s a bit older than you.%E2%80%99 But he replied: %E2%80%98No, she%E2%80%99s eight years older than you, mum %E2%80%93 and her name is Madonna.%E2%80%99 Mrs Vidal said: %E2%80%98My mouth fell open. Madonna was already a big star when I was a schoolgirl, let alone when Brahim was growing up. The whole situation is very strange indeed %E2%80%93 surreal even. Last night a spokesman for Madonna said: %E2%80%98We never comment on Madonna%E2%80%99s private life.%E2%80%99 Madonna, a mother of four, divorced film director Guy Ritchie in 2008 after eight years of marriage. She dated Brazilian model Jesus Luz %E2%80%93 who like Zaibat was 28 years her junior %E2%80%93 for a year until February 2010. She has a 14-year-old daughter, Lourdes, with former boyfriend Carlos Leon and a son, Rocco, ten, with Ritchie. Madonna then adopted David Banda from a Malawian orphanage in October 2006 %E2%80%93 with Ritchie %E2%80%93 and later adopted a little girl called Mercy James from Malawi by herself.

She would have been twenty this week. Here's the entirety of the mysterious ransom note, for those of you who remember the case: ******** Mr. Ramsey, Listen carefully! We are a group of individuals that represent a small foreign faction. We do respect your bussiness [sic] but not the country that it serves. At this time we have your daughter in our posession [sic]. She is safe and unharmed and if you want her to see 1997, you must follow our instructions to the letter. You will withdraw $118,000.00 from your account. $100,000 will be in $100 bills and the remaining $18,000 in $20 bills. Make sure that you bring an adequate size attache to the bank. When you get home you will put the money in a brown paper bag. I will call you between 8 and 10 am tomorrow to instruct you on delivery. The delivery will be exhausting so I advise you to be rested. If we monitor you getting the money early, we might call you early to arrange an earlier delivery of the money and hence a [sic] earlier delivery pick-up of your daughter. Any deviation of my instructions will result in the immediate execution of your daughter. You will also be denied her remains for proper burial. The two gentlemen watching over your daughter do not particularly like you so I advise you not to provoke them. Speaking to anyone about your situation, such as Police, F.B.I., etc., will result in your daughter being beheaded. If we catch you talking to a stray dog, she dies. If you alert bank authorities, she dies. If the money is in any way marked or tampered with, she dies. You will be scanned for electronic devices and if any are found, she dies. You can try to deceive us but be warned that we are familiar with law enforcement countermeasures and tactics. You stand a 99% chance of killing your daughter if you try to out smart [sic] us. Follow our instructions and you stand a 100% chance of getting her back. You and your family are under constant scrutiny as well as the authorities. Don't try to grow a brain John. You are not the only fat cat around so don't think that killing will be difficult. Don't underestimate us John. Use that good southern common sense of yours. It is up to you now John! Victory!

Is this a really good show or not? I watched the first 3 episodes a few months ago with the intention to watch all of them. I kind of just forgot about it and stopped watching. I didn't think it was bad, I just never had the compulsion to go back. But I see it's rated 3rd on IMDB's Top TV Series of all-time (right behind the brillian The Wire), so I'm thinking maybe I need to give it another chance. Are the first few episodes pretty much typical of the series, or does it actually get worth watching?

A black community college instructor in Minneapolis claims she was formally reprimanded over a discussion on racism in one of her classes. Shannon Gibney, an English faculty member at Minneapolis Community and Technical College, told MCTC student newspaper City College News in a video interview that three white students filed a complaint against her with the school after a discussion on structural racism in one of her communications classes. In the interview, which was posted by the college newspaper to YouTube, Gibney says a white student interrupted her lesson to ask "Why do we have to talk about this in every class?" Another white male in the class then chimed in, Gibney told the student paper, saying he didn't understand either. "It's like people are trying to say that white men are always the villains, the bad guys. Why do we have to say this?" the student asked, according to Gibney. Gibney said that when she told the students that they could file a complaint with the college's legal affairs department if they were so unhappy with the discussion, they took her up on her offer. That led to an official reprimand from the school in early November, she claims. Gibney told The Huffington Post she could not comment further because the case is in appeal. MCTC would not confirm that Gibney had been reprimanded after a student complaint, citing privacy laws. The school did, however, deny reprimanding her for leading a discussion on structural racism. "The college has taken no steps to prohibit faculty members from teaching about racism, including structural racism," college spokeswoman Dawn Skelly told HuffPost. "MCTC has never disciplined a faculty member for teaching or discussing structural racism. Conversations about race, class and power are important and regular parts of many classes at MCTC and have been for years." City College News reported that after Gibney spoke with the student newspaper, she was told she risks further punishment for violating the unnamed white male students' privacy. MCTC noted in a statement that nearly one in four of the school's employees are minorities, and that "of the eight new full-time faculty hires the college made for fall 2012, six are people of color." More than half of the 13,874 students enrolled at MCTC in fall 2013 are persons of color, according to the college. The story was first reported last month by City College News, but was picked up by outlets like the Raw Story and Salon on Monday. Gibney is not filing a lawsuit against the school, but is submitting a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging workplace discrimination at MCTC, Minnesota Public Radio reported.
Black College Instructor Claims She Was Punished For Discussing Racism
Archie Comics CEO Nancy Silberkleit stands accused by six employees of gender discrimination for among things allegedly calling them “penises” during business meetings to harass and intimidate them. The employees are seeking $32.5 million in civil damages for claims that she allegedly engaged in “destructive, dangerous, and at times deranged behavior.” Silberkleit, whose father-in-law helped found the company, took over as co-CEO in 2008 when her husband Michael passed away. She has categorically denied the allegations. There have been other legal entanglements at Archie Comics since Silberkliet, a former teacher, came on board: “She has been locked in a long-running legal battle over control of the company ever since — with employees accusing her of being mentally unstable and running the comic company into the ground.” According to the New York Post, she allegedly also “tried to get a Hell’s Angel to come to headquarters to intimate her underlings.” Silberkleit told the New York Daily News that the gender discrimination and other allegations were inaccurate and that “I do not act the way it’s been reported,” and that the accusations were “”extremely damaging to myself and Archie Comics.” In a legal filing this week, her lawyers argued that the workers had no legal claim because five of them, including the company president and editor-in-chief,were white men who aren’t considered a protected class under civil rights law. Silberkleit, 59, is running for mayor of Rye, N.Y., and also heads an anti-bullying foundation. Her lawyers may have to brush up on their legal research, however. In general, civil rights law prohibits discrimination on the basis of any race or gender. Also, employees over 40 have legal protections from age-based bias against them. The workers’ complaint argues that “While World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan did not stop the publication of Archie Comics, the war-like attitude and approach of Defendant may destroy Archie Comics unless this Court intervenes.”

Ellen DeGeneres is using her talk show to clear the air about recent rumors swirling around her relationship with wife Portia De Rossi. The 55-year-old addressed the reports during the opening monologue on Wednesday's show. All kidding aside, the talk show host's tone became more serious when she slammed the claims. "It's so ridiculous to me," DeGeneres told the audience. "There's not one ounce of truth to any of it. I'm very happily married. In fact, the only thing we ever argue about is who loves who more. That is all. It really is true." DeGeneres asked her fans to please trust her and admitted that if there is anything to know, she would "announce it here first."
George Eads will take a leave of absence from the long-running drama after engaging in a heated exchange with one of the show's writers, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The actor, who has played Nick Stokes since the series premiered in 2000, will appear in the first three episodes of CSI's upcoming 14th season. Producer CBS Television Studios declined to reveal a date for his return but said he would be back later this season. "George Eads will not appear in several episodes during the first half of the season. We look forward to him returning to CSI very soon," a rep for CBS TV Studios said in a statement to THR. The actor signed on to return as a regular along with the rest of the cast when CBS renewed the series in March. His absence, sources say, is not considered an attempt to renegotiate his contract. Eads -- and co-star Jorja Fox -- were both briefly fired from CSI in 2004 after a short-lived salary standoff with the network and studio. Instead, Eads was unhappy with the creative direction of his character, sources tell THR, and clashed with an eight-months-pregnant co-writer of a recent episode. Word of the incident is said to have gotten back to showrunner Carol Mendelsohn and resulted in a meeting that ended with Eads threatening to quit. A rep for Eads declined to comment. Eads is one of only three actors who have been with CSI from the start (Paul Guilfoyle and Eric Szmanda are the others). Fox left and later returned to the show. Sources tell THR that Eads' absence will be addressed in the fourth episode of the season when Catherine (Marg Helgenberger, who will reprise her role in the landmark 300th episode) hand-picks his character to receive special training at Quantico. CSI returns Sept. 25 on CBS.
There is an interesting article in the New Yorker (linked from a Daily Fail article, I know) about a sales clerk in a luxury mall in the US getting depressed being in contact with wealthy customers. The little time I worked in sales my favourite customers were those who had saved a long time to treat themselves to something wonderful. You could tell they weren't the type to max out their credit and how truly exciting it was for them. I would give them the most sumptuous wrapping and extra samples and freebies. With wealthy customers, I got all kinds, blasé, cheap, difficult, friendly and unassuming. I never felt depressed about it, but then again it was a short stint. The New Yorker article has interesting comments.

Most families enjoy watching Christmas programs and movies this time of year. Unfortunately not all Christmas features are wholesome entertainment. Glee's previously "Never Aired Christmas" episode should have stayed just that and remained unaired, considering it was complete with a bi-Santa, he-she Virgin Mary and its fair share of other questionable behavior. Glee is not a late-night program and is rated TV-14 DLSV. While it currently airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/ 8 p.m. CT, in February it will be moving to Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/ 7 p.m. CT – well before many children's bedtimes. Please send an email to this show's sponsors and let them know that we will not stand for Christianity to be mocked. Urge advertisers to place the program GLEE on their "do not advertise" list immediately.

It looks like George Zimmerman may get off Scot-free yet again after his girlfriend reversed course on her decision to press charges against him for allegedly trashing her house and waving a gun in her face. Newly obtained court documents show that Samantha Scheibe, 27, has demanded that Zimmerman's charges and his no-contact order be dropped, effective immediately. "When I was being questioned by police I felt very intimidated," Scheibe said in a sworn statement dated December 6. "I believe that the police misinterpreted me and that I may have misspoken about certain facts in my statement to police." Scheibe goes on to claim that Zimmerman "never pointed a gun at or toward my face in a threatening manner," and insisted she "want[s] to be with George." cording to the Orlando Sentinel and … Read… Scheibe's affidavit flies in the face of what she told a 911 dispatcher during the November 18 incident. "I need police right now," she exclaimed during the taped phone call. "He's in my house breaking all my shit because I asked him to leave. He's got a freaking gun, breaking all my stuff right now." Zimmerman was subsequently arrested and charged with felony aggravated assault, misdemeanor battery, and misdemeanor criminal mischief. He was released on his own recognizance after paying a $9,000 bond. A search warrant released the following week showed that Zimmerman was packing a 12-gauge shotgun, an AR-15 assault rifle, three handguns, and over 100 rounds of ammunition when he visited Scheibe's house.

[quote]A romantic reunion? Tom Daley arrives in the US...just days after he announces new relationship with a man 8 December 2013 He’s increasingly spent time Stateside since he was linked to Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black. And British Olympian Tom Daley was spotted arriving in Houston, Texas, on Thursday after flying in from London. The 19-year-old was met at the airport by a blonde woman and the pair made a stop at Whole Foods on the way to his hotel. The handsome star wore a comfortable casual outfit for his travels, wearing an olive green T-shirt, a black quilted jacket , beige trousers and black high-top trainers. He looked relaxed and happy to arrive in Houston, where he is training for the UK Diving Championships in February, wearing a smile as he dragged two suitcases. He recently sparked speculation that his new relationship could be becoming serious, he was spotted ‘house-hunting' close to the Olympic Park, where he triumphed at last summer's Games. The Sun reported that the sports star was eying up a plush new pad with rumoured boyfriend Dustin Lance Black, a stone's throw from his new training ground in east London. 'They were both asking questions about the facilities so it looks like the two of them will be spending a lot of time together there,' an onlooker told the newspaper. The athlete's personal life was thrust into the limelight recently when he posted an emotional video on YouTube, saying he was dating a man. Although Tom hasn't confirmed the identity of his new beau, the pair were photographed grabbing a coffee together in Los Angeles in October, where the 39-year-old Milk screenwriter lives. His spokesman refused to comment on his rumoured house hunt, while the star has continued to live with his mother Debbie in his hometown of Plymouth after the Olympic Games. However it looks like he is ready to fly the nest as he focuses on training for Rio 2016 at the new aquatic centre. Tom revealed that making the decision to come out and reveal his sexuality was 'terrifying'. Speaking about his new love, Tom said: 'I’d never felt like anything like it before. We were at a party and I hadn’t even spoken to him all night. I didn’t know what to do or if he was gay at first.' On the Jonathan Ross show Tom said: 'I’d never felt the feeling of love, it happened so quickly, I was completely overwhelmed by it to the point I can’t get him out of my head all the time. I’ve never had it before where I love someone and they love me just as much.' Asked why he hasn't identified his beau, Tom said: 'At the moment, I wouldn’t like anything to change. 'I hope it doesn’t get ruined by the media attention, everyone has been so supportive and I hope it continues that way.'
TCM Kicks Off In Memoriam Season: Video By LISA DE MORAES, TV Columnist | Wednesday December 11, 2013 @ 12:13pm PST Turner Classic Movies last night premiered its annual In Memoriam video, TCM Remembers, in advance of the crush of In Memoriams that are unveiled during trophy-show season. Unlike those often controversial televised in memoriam segments – including, most loudly, this year's Emmycast – TCM's is not subject to the same time constraints, or politics. That said, it's already been chided, in comments made by YouTube viewers, for not including Cory Monteith or Paul Walker. This year's video was shot at The Lyric Fine Arts Theatre in Birmingham, Ala, which was built in 1914 and is currently undergoing a major restoration, for which a fundraising campaign just reached its $7 million fundraising goal, TCM reports.

Matt Damon knows the drill when it comes to the paparazzi, but he's sick and tired of being followed and photographed. In an interview with Playgirl (online), Damon shares his thoughts on being in the spotlight and admits that although he's fine with photographers following pal Ben Affleck's kids around, he's not okay with grown men chasing after him. "You can say what you want about Violet Affleck. You can yell at Seraphina with a video camera and be TMZ. You can follow them around and take pictures all you want. I don't care. There are a couple of guys outside their school right now. Terrific. That's part of the deal. But it's wrong and disgusting to follow me around and take my picture and sell it for money," he tells Playgirl. "It makes me less safe. They used to take pictures of me coming out of my Latin lover's condo (which I bought for him and to preserve our privacy) in Miami, and so this stalker who had threatened to kill me and my boy toy showed up at the condo and got arrested. I mean, there are real practical dangers to this." "Ben's kids are celebrities. His fame whore wife and him made that deal ... As their father it's his job to keep their names in the tabloids in spite of his questionable choices of roles," Damon explains to Playgirl. "I try my very best to keep the paps away, and sometimes I'm successful. The tragic thing is, people who see those pictures naturally think it’s sweet. They don't see the gigantic former gang member with a huge lens standing over a forty three-year-old and screaming to get his attention." "I'm always looking down because I'm freaked out and scared of these people," he adds. "And so they yell. Which is fine if you're Lindsay Lohan coming out of a club, or Affleck's kids or any kids," remarks Damon. "With me it's tasteless at best."
This was in another Sound of Music Live thread but really, it deserves its own.
I've only recently become aware of this. I'm in my 50's and just recently received an unexpected phone call from someone I had graduated from high school with...way back when. I haven't given a thought to high school since I left...moved away from the town where I was raised, went to college, settled on the west coast and that was that. This former classmate somehow tracked me down (I have an unlisted number) and was badgering me about attending our 40th reunion. She mentioned that our class has a Facebook page and urged me look it up. I did and was shocked at how many of the people I graduated with seem rather obsessive about finding out all about other classmates and setting up files regarding where these classmates now live and the ones who have died, etc., etc, etc. Personally, I find this bizarre. I did not hate high school and was actually fairly popular, but once I left, I was gone. Some of these people seem to be hanging on for dear life.

I saw him at the gym (Equinox in Soho/NYC, does anyone know if he lives around there?). The guy is a bonafide stud. He's a fucking bro.

A lot of people carp about "My Favorite Things" from THE SOUND OF MUSIC being appropriated as Christmas music but at least some of the lyrics evoke images of winter. And rattling off long lists of things we love is common in our consumer-driven culture. But when did "Over The Rainbow" become a Christmas song? I've seen this one popping up on more and more Christmas albums and holiday playlists. Doesn't sound Christmas-y to me at all. Are artists just desperate for another "new" song to record at the holidays?
A nice Jewish girl relates her dating experience: In terms of being gay, what really was a complete and total surprise, is that my date yesterday, was absolutely gay, and unable to admit it. I went out last night, in a super cute outfit, with fabulous hair, and my date was gay. A Jewish, gorgeous, smart, funny, charming, and living in the closet, gay man. How did I know my date was gay? The first clue, was when he noticed my slight accent Canadian accent, and he asked me what my favorite Celine Dion song was. Before I could answer, he let me know his was a tie between Because You Loved Me, and My Heart Will Go On. Both of which he sang a few bars of. I thought perhaps he was kidding, because a lot of people make fun of my love of Celine, and blame my musical taste on being Canadian. So, I brought up hockey, thinking he would man up, and we’d be in business. I asked what team he supports, and he responded that he prefers figure skating, and loves Johnny Weir. That lead us into a lively ten minutes conversation about Dancing With The Stars, and what the chances were that Evan Lysacek could win. We then covered Project Runway, Shear Genius and The Real Housewives. For a minute I convinced myself that he was not gay, but instead, just perfect for me. A man who will not complain about watching reality television! The best part was when I excused myself to go to the bathroom. When I came back, he got up, and placed his hand on my back to guide me into the booth. First of all, when a man places his hand on your back, to guide you to your seat, through a door, or to your table, it is very sexy. I have always thought it is romantic, so when he did it, I thought for sure I was wrong, and he was not gay. Then it happened. His hand is on my back, and I have long hair, so when he places his hand on me, he touches my hair. Not just touches it, but strokes it. A man playing with my hair is enough to put me over the edge. I will profess my love for him, if he will play with my hair. I thought he was flirting by playing with my hair, but then it happened. He asked me what conditioner I used, and we then spent twenty minutes discussing hair products. My date was gay. Fabulous, and gay. He was smitten of course, because that’s how I roll. I attract, and am attracted to, gay men. There are many gay men in my life who I would marry. You know who you are. (Andy, Patrick, Scott, Paul, Howard, Peter) This list could go on, and on. He said he had a wonderful time, and asked me out for a second date. So cute. I told him I thought he was fabulous, had a wonderful time, but it was not a love connection for me. He said he understood, hoped we could be friends, gave me a wonderful hug, and asked if I wanted to see a movie this weekend, as friends. Here’s the nail in the coffin. I told him I would love to see a movie, and he suggested we see “The Last Song”, which he has been dying to see. There you have it. I had a great date last night, with a gay man. God bless him. I hope he figures it out, because he will be a terrific boyfriend to a very lucky man. I hope he sets himself free.
I'm staying in a hotel in Europe. I thought they charged me when I checked in, but apparently they did not. They asked me to come downstairs and settle my account. When they did - MY CARD WAS DECLINED! I know that more than enough money to settle my bill will post to my checking account in 36 hours (one day before I am scheduled to leave). In the meantime - will they throw me out on the street? Have me arrested? I am worried to death in my room, waiting for a knock on the door.

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Two prominent U.S. and British anti-gay activists attended a conference in Jamaica over the weekend to urge their counterparts and the Jamaican government to retain that country’s colonial era law banning homosexual activity. The conference, organized by the Jamaican Coalition for a Healthy Society and the Christian Lawyers’ Association, was aimed at developing strategies to lobby against a proposed repeal of the anti-gay law. Jamaican Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller, who said prior to her election in December 2011 that “no one should be discriminated against because of their sexual orientation,” has suggested that repealing the anti-gay law might come before the nation’s Houses of Parliament, but her government has yet to take any action. Jamaica has been described by some human rights groups as the most homophobic place on Earth because of the high level of violent crime directed at LGBT people. The U.S. Department of State said that in 2012, “homophobia was widespread in the country.” On Saturday, Peter LaBarbera, founder of the Naperville, Ill.-based group, Americans for the Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), warned conference attendees not to “sit idly by as so-called ‘LGBT activists’ manipulate words and laws to achieve dominance in your country.” LaBarbera reiterated the anti-gay propaganda that has formed the basis of his group’s message: “Homosexuals are made, they’re not born.” “The dirty little secret that the media and homosexual activists are desperate — desperate — to squelch is that people are coming out of homosexuality every day,” said LaBarbera. “This is the work of God, this is the work of Jesus,” he added, referring to so-called gay-to-straight conversation therapy endorsed by his group. LaBarbera, whose AFTAH organization has been labeled an anti-gay “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), also told the conference audience that he was working on a book on the connection between “homosexual activism and pedophiles.” He said that after winning rights like marriage and protection for gay kids in schools, “homosexual” activists were now championing the rights of MAPS, or “minor-attracted persons.” Also attending the conference was Andrea M. Williams, founder of U.K.-based Christian Concern, who — citing last week’s announcement by British Olympian Tom Daley that he was dating a man — said gay people are not born with same-sex attraction, that it is often “caused” by “the lack of the father,” and “sometimes a level of abuse,” suggesting a link between Daley’s father’s death and his same-sex attraction. “He [Daley] was loved by all the girls and had girlfriends, until he lost his father to cancer just a few years ago and he’s just come out on YouTube that he’s in a relationship with a man, that man is 39, a leading gay activist in the States,” she said. Williams urged Jamaicans to turn down aid from countries such as the U.S. and those in Europe who support LGBT rights. “Might it be that Jamaica says to the United States of America, says to Europe, ‘Enough! You cannot come in and attack our families. We will not accept aid or promotion tied to an agenda that is against God and destroys our families… If you win here, you will have an impact in the Caribbean and an impact across the globe.” Jamaican Justice Minister Mark Golding told conference attendees that he hoped to raise the issue of maintaining the ban as part of a broader review of the Jamaica’s sexual offenses law. LaBarbera isn’t the only American spreading the anti-LGBT message overseas. “As American groups opposed to LGBT rights are increasingly finding American audiences less receptive to their message, they are moving instead to spread their noxious propaganda overseas,” said Heidi Beirich, who heads the SPLC’s Intelligence Project.

Specimen #1: Tall, lanky, swimmer's build. Nice looking with bdf for days. I first noticed him outside smoking when I checked in. Our eyes locked immediately. I was sitting on one of the sofas by the elevator last night when he, the wifey, and kid came back from dinner. Again, our eyes locked for a moment. He was dressed in a golf shirt and pants. Cut to three minutes later when he appears at the elevator in a wife beater, showcasing lean muscular arms and gave me a nod. Specimen #2: Ridiculously gorgeous fratjock type staying there with a slutty looking gf. The body is perfectly fit-fat, must be seen to be believed. I was sitting on the sofa when they checked in. He saw me checking him out. He appeared 10 minutes later, also in a wifebeater, headed toward the guest laundry to wash his clothers. His arms are so muscular...again he must be seen to be believed. Specimen #3: Hot as fuck black guy. Has one of those Muslin beards. Also walking around in a wife beater, showing off a tight lean build. Best asset is his oh-so muscular chest with a good amount of lush pit hair sticking out. He's noticed me noticing him. I want specimen #2 the most, as he is JUST. MY. TYPE. I would kill to see specimen #3 naked, as I think he has the biggest dick of the three, but he seems unapproachable. I do think specimen #1 is the most vulnerable to seduction, so should I just concentrate on bringing it home with him? Any suggestions/advice would be most appreciated.

worse than "Christmas Shoes". Local radio has been playing this frequently. I'd never heard it before. CHRISTMAS WITH A CAPITAL C. Ugh. There are more verses, but this will give you the gist of the song: "Brad Stine: "I remember when people said things like, 'Merry Christmas' to each other. EVERYBODY said, 'Merry Christmas! Hey, Merry Christmas to you, Mr. Lohenstein. Do you know why? Because it wasn't about a religion, it was about something as a culture that we thought was so valuable, even if I disagreed with the religion behind it, because it was good for ALL of us instead of just me. But what do people say now? 'Happy Holidays.' 'See, I just say, "Happy Holidays," because I don't want to say, "Merry Christmas," because you don't believe in Christmas, and I don't want to offend you, and...*chipmunk noises*'" It's called "Christmas"! I went to the coffee shop To get myself a mocha The lady at the counter Said, "Happy holidays" I said, "Thanks, lady, I am pretty happy; But there's only one holiday That makes me feel that way." And... It's called "Christmas" What more can I say? It's about the birth of Christ And you can't take that away You can call it something else But that's not what it will be It's called "Christmas" With a capital "C"" - Go Fish

It’s that time of year again when you get annoyed by the sight of bell-ringers representing an organization that hates you. Yes, it’s the annual appearance of the Salvation Army, and they’re hoping to trick you into thinking that they’ve turned over a new leaf. Well, they haven’t. The S.A. has a page on their site right now called “Debunking the Myth of LGBT Discrimination,” which is all about how awesome they are and always have been to gays. “The Salvation Army believes that all people are equal, regardless of sexual orientation or any other factor, including race, gender and ethnicity,” the page says. They point out that they serve, hire, and happily accept money from LGBT people. Yeah, that’s great. Here are some facts that they conveniently omit: **It says right on their site: “Marriage is by definition heterosexual in nature. Scripture speaks only of marriage between a man and a woman and allows no same-sex unions that involve sexual intercourse.” **Also: “Scripture forbids sexual intimacy between members of the same sex. The Salvation Army believes, therefore, that Christians whose sexual orientation is primarily or exclusively same-sex are called upon to embrace celibacy as a way of life. There is no scriptural support for same-sex unions as equal to, or as an alternative to, heterosexual marriage.” **The Salvation Army refused to provide health benefits to domestic partners, explaining, “we now confirm adherence to biblical principles concerning marriage and the family.” **The organization refers people to abusive ex-gay ministries. **The Southern and Central regions exclude LGBTs from their nondiscrimination policies. **They threatened to pull out of New York rather than offer benefits to LGBT employees. So if you’re wondering whether it’s okay to support the Salvation Army, let us make it clear for you: [bold]IT IS NEVER OKAY TO SUPPORT THE SALVATION ARMY.[/bold] There are plenty of other organizations that need your money. Our website has a list.

Anyone know about this? I need to keep a 42" LED tv and a laptop, both still in their original boxes from Best Buy, in the trunk of my car overnight. It's supposed to get down to about 12 degrees tonight and my car won't be in the garage. Will this stuff be ok until tomorrow afternoon? TIA!!!
We are doing a week in St. John in January and a week in Belize in April. I need to look forward to this to get me through the winter! How about you Datalounge?
He's gay, isn't he? Any horror stories?
Something is radically wrong here. I had my photo professionally taken in my sheerest aqua-blue chiffon caftan with angel hair trim. My pearl and sil'vry earrings were the very latest from Van Cleef and Arpel. I purchased a full 1 inch by 2 inch advertisement in Variety for ALL of it, declaring my availability as 2014's Miss Golden Globe and I still didn't win. Dear friends, what am I doing wrong? OH, and to you, Miss Sosie Bacon--daughter of Kevin---may you trip, fall and die in a grease fire on your way to the Golden Globe podium as Miss Golden Globe 2014.
