DataLounge get your fix of gay gossip, news and pointless bitchery.
Shouldn't the 50+ crowd be embarrassed to use LOL in emails and texts? Why do they try to pretend they're teens? I mean really.
OMG
If this turns out to be true, it's pretty fucking amazing!
Some people say 12 or 13. For me, it was about age 9. (I know..that probably explains a lot about me.) I found it felt really good to lay face down with a pillow at my crotch. I was really surprised when "it" happened, and my eyes rolled back in my head. I thought it was something only I knew about!
From the mind to Tina Fey, the show follows the adventure of Kimmy Schmidt, an escapee from a survivalist cult (she probably roomed with ELEOP) who starts her life over again in New York. Starring Ellie Kemper from The Office as Kimmy, Fey stalwart Jane Krakowski as Kimmy's employer, Tituss Burgess from The Little Mermaid as Kimmy's roommate, and Carol Kane. It doesn't premiere for a month, but Netflix has already ordered a second season. Anybody seen an advance copy?

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

I want to go to St. Petersburg, Russia, but I'm a little afraid. As a tourist. I don't have anyone to go with, so I'd be on my own. My friends have no money. I have no interest in hooking up there. I just want to see the art, architecture, history via the a & a, culture, such as it is. I've been to London, Paris, Berlin, elsewhere alone, but worry I'll be in a place where there is no English spoken. Suggestions? Aside from "Grow a pair". How long is enough?

Good for him: Failing to look after old folk was not just a bad habit, he told an "audience" of 20,000 people in Rome, it was a mortal transgression: in other words the sort of sin that can consign you to hell, eternal punishment, if you fail to repent for it before you die. He made the point in both an anecdotal way, and in a more theological way. He knew of a case where an old lady in a care home had received no visits from her offspring between December and August: "Eight months without a visit from her children, that is a mortal sin." On a more cerebral note, he also said: "When the elderly are not honoured, there is not future for the young. A society where the elderly are discarded carries within it the virus of death." But the problem did not merely reflect individual sinfulness: old people who suffer sickness, poverty and solitude "experience the shortcomings of a society programmed for efficiency which consequently ignores the elderly."

She brought up how much she hates speedos today during a group lunch - apropos of absolutely nothing. Well I've seen her husband and I can see why she would want him in nothing less than a burlap sack on the beach. But she says she doesn't like hot guys in speedos either. What's wrong with fraus like this? Do they actually hate men's bodies? Or do they hate men???
The fat cats in Washington D.C. are living the high life, and they are doing it at your expense. Over the past decade, there has been one area of the country which has experienced a massive economic boom. Thanks to wildly out of control government spending, the Washington D.C. region is absolutely swimming in cash. In fact, at this point the state of Maryland has the most millionaires per capita in the entire nation and it isn’t even close. If you have never lived there, it is hard to describe what the D.C. area is like. Every weekday morning, hordes of lawyers, lobbyists and government bureaucrats descend upon D.C. from the surrounding suburbs. And at the end of the day, the process goes in reverse. Everyone is just trying to get their piece of the pie, and it is a pie that just keeps on growing as government salaries, government contracts and government giveaways just get larger and larger. Of course our founders never intended for this to happen. They wanted a very small and simple federal government. Sadly, today we have the most bloated central government in the history of the planet and it gets worse with each passing year. If you were to ask most Americans, they would tell you that the wealthiest Americans probably live in cities such as New York or San Francisco. But thanks to the Obama administration (and before that the Bush and Clinton administrations), the state of Maryland is packed with millionaires. In particular, the Maryland suburbs immediately surrounding D.C. are absolutely overflowing with government fat cats that make a living at our expense. Every weekday morning, huge numbers of them leave their mini-mansions in places such as Potomac and Rockville and drive their luxury vehicles to work in the city. As the Washington Post has detailed, at this point approximately 8 percent of all households in the entire state of Maryland contain millionaires, and the rest of the area is not doing too shabby either… In Maryland, nearly 8 out of every 100 households in 2014 had assets topping $1 million, giving the state more millionaires per capita than any other in the country, according to a new report from Phoenix Marketing International. The rest of the Beltway isn’t lacking in millionaires either: The District and Virginia ranked in the top 10 among those with the highest number of millionaire households per capita in 2014. In Virginia, which was No. 6 on the list, 6.76 percent of the state’s 3.17 million households are millionaires. And in the District, which rounds out the top 10, 6.25 percent of its more than 292,000 households are millionaires. And while not too many of them are millionaires, your average federal workers that toil in D.C. are doing quite well too. Once upon a time, it was considered to be a “sacrifice” to go into “government service”. Not anymore. If you can believe it, approximately 17,000 federal employees made more than $200,000 last year. Overall, compensation for federal employees comes to a grand total of close to half a trillion dollars every 12 months. In fact, there are tens of thousands of federal employees that make more than the governors of their own states do. Does that seem right to you? If you want to live “the American Dream” these days, the Washington area is the place to go. Just check out the following description of the region from the Washington Post… Washingtonians now enjoy the highest median household income of any metropolitan area in the country, and five of the top 10 jurisdictions in America — Loudoun, Howard and Fairfax counties, and Falls Church and Fairfax City — are here, census data shows. The signs of that wealth are on display all over, from the string of luxury boutiques such as Gucci and Tory Burch opening at Tysons Galleria to the $15 cocktails served over artisanal ice at the W Hotel in the District to the ever-larger houses rising off River Road in Potomac.

OK ... I have my landline on call-forwarding to my cell phone, and I get a lot of spam/telemarketing calls, which I ignore, then add to my blocked list. The problem is that my phone only allows 100 entries in the blocked list -- does anyone know of a phone (or even an app) that allows you to block more than 100 numbers? I hate having to constantly delete numbers to make room for new ones.

Which songs carry a sense of foreboding? When I was a kid I thought Abba's "Summer Night City" was about the end of the world, it had such an ominous tone "It's a dream, it's out of reach. Scattered driftwood on a beach." "Driver's Seat" by Sniff'n The Tears also has this menacing sound, even though the lyrics are innocuous.

Jeremy Meeks' mugshot inspired fundraising efforts and Facebook groups after his piercing eyes and defiant glare sent the Internet into a frenzy last year. But all the viral furor and slack-jawed looks drawn by Meeks' mug did little to change the felon's saga. U.S. District Judge Troy Nunley sentenced the 30-year-old to two years in prison on Thursday, court records show. Meeks was arrested on weapons charges last June when he was stopped by Stockton police after leaving a home where a search warrant was being executed by the FBI and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, according to the San Joaquin County district attorney's office. Police found a semi-automatic handgun and two extended magazines for the weapon before arresting Meeks and 23-year-old Terry Bailey. The district attorney's office accused both men of being members of the Northside Gangster Crips as well. Meeks' case was transferred to federal court in Sacramento last year. He was ordered to be incarcerated at a facility near Stockton, and will also have to complete the Federal Bureau of Prisons Substance Abuse Treatment program, according to court records. Meeks' became an Internet favorite after the Stockton Police Department posted his mugshot on its Facebook page last year. Women sent messages promising to help with his bail, which was set at $1 million, and reports surfaced that he had been offered a modeling contract weeks after his arrest. Meeks broke the hearts of countless Facebook users when he announced that he was married and that his wife was "livid" about all the attention. In various interviews with local television stations, Meeks tried to downplay the gravity of the charges, telling reporters he was not a "hardened criminal." But the June arrest was not Meeks' first brush with law enforcement. He previously served two years in state prison for a grand theft auto conviction in Solano County. He also sports a teardrop tattoo on his cheekbone for “doing some things in his past he is not proud of," he told reporters last year.

Senator Rand Paul, of Kentucky, seems to have no problem contradicting himself. The self-proclaimed "constitutional conservative" is typically lost in libertarian thought leading him to make inflammatory sexist, racist and overbearingly hypocritical comments on nearly every issue he faces. Whether he's attempting to police women's bodies, ignoring police brutality for stingy tobacco taxes, or speaking out against vaccines and posting himself receiving booster shots only days later, Ron Paul's son is one politician you can unabashedly hate or enjoy laughing at.

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.

Angela Lansbury is familiar to anyone in possession of a TV, you can't escape an afternoon re-run of the classic late '80s detective series, Murder, She Wrote. Well, at 88-years-old the newly appointed Dame Lansbury, who is about to star in a 15-week run of Noel Coward's comedy, Blithe Spirit, has opened up about her 'gay icon' status and her children's struggles with drugs. The 10 time winning Golden Globe Angela Lansbury has decided to tread the boards once again for her second stint as Madame Arcati in Blithe Spirit after a hugely successful run on Broadway. Although her career spans over six decades, Angela self-deprecatingly told The Daily Mirror that she believes plenty of the younger audience came to the Broadway show to catch a glimpse of Mrs Fletcher, Lansbury's Murder, She Wrote character. “There’s no question that a great portion of the youngsters who came to see the play in New York, who came from all over the world, came because they had seen me in Murder, She Wrote.” she explained. "They knew me as Jessica Fletcher. "We enjoyed a great success on Broadway. I don’t have any illusions that we’re going to repeat that in London but I’m going to do my best." Of course this isn't her first time on stage. Over the years Angela has been actively involved in theatre. Many will know her from the 1966 musical, Mame, which earnt her critical acclaim and made her very popular with a certain audience. Angela revealed: “I’m very proud of the fact that I am a gay icon." "It’s because of the role I played in Mame. She was just every gay person’s idea of glamour. "Everything about Mame coincided with every young man’s idea of beauty and glory and it was lovely.” However, just as her career was reaching a new high, Lansbury's personal life hit an all time low. After discovering that her two teenage children, Deirdre and Anthony were abusing drugs, Angela and her husband Peter Shaw decided to uproot themselves and move from L.A. to Ireland. Speaking of the past she said: "It was a big problem and a very difficult time in my life. "I was simply unable to help my kids at one point so I pulled them out of where they were and put them in a safe place. "I had no other recourse. We didn’t have the help that you have now with psychiatrists and places that kids could go to to get off drugs." Fortunately this helped her children immensely and they went on the lead relatively normal lives, with Anthony becoming an director even working on Murder, She Wrote and Deidre currently runs a restaurant with her husband in California. Having begun her career at 17-years-old, you might be wondering how Angela seems so spritely after 71 years in the spot light. Well, Ms Lansbury credits her good health with strong tea, tinned sardines and vitamin pills, according to the Mirror. The veteran actress then added: "If one keeps one’s health and strength and you’re pretty damn careful about how you conduct your life, then you tend to hang on for many years."

The charitable foundation run by Hillary Clinton and her family has received as much as $81m from wealthy international donors who were clients of HSBC’s controversial Swiss bank. Leaked files from HSBC’s Swiss banking division reveal the identities of seven donors to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation with accounts in Geneva. They include Frank Giustra, a Canadian mining magnate and one of the foundation’s biggest financial backers, and Richard Caring, the British retail magnate who, the bank’s internal records show, used his tax-free Geneva account to transfer $1m into the New York-based foundation. Hillary Clinton has expressed concern over growing economic inequality in the US and is expected to make the issue a cornerstone of her widely anticipated presidential campaign in 2016. However, political observers are increasingly asking whether the former secretary of state’s focus on wealth inequality sits uncomfortably with the close relationships she and her husband have nurtured with some of the world’s richest individuals.
The audio recording, incorporated into a video with Russian subtitles and posted on YouTube Tuesday, appears to be a conversation between the top U.S. diplomat for Europe, Victoria Nuland, and the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, discussing how to resolve the ongoing standoff between the Ukraine government and protesters camped out in the streets. [bold]At one point, the voice apparently belonging to Nuland suggests that United Nations efforts should take precedence over the E.U. position, adding, “f–k the E.U.”[/bold]

Suppose the United States decides to retire all the debt held offshore. It amounted to $6,112,000,000,000 at the end of last year. We just print the money and send it to wherever the interest checks are presently going. We can do this. I hold that the effect will be far less severe in the United States than in other countries. Reason being, the subsequent precipitous decline in the Dollar will wipe out foreign rich people who have their loot in $$$$'s. What else will happen, guru's? I think there will be little or no inflation here because the government can just continue to report there isn't any.
Shades of Snowpiercer. I know global warming gets all the attention, but global cooling would be far worse. We are living in an interglacial era. Every time the world gets closer to our current peak, it quickly plunges into another ice age. These interglacial periods appear to have some correlation with sunspot activity. The latest news on sunspot activity is similar to other cold spells. Although sunspot data only goes back a few hundred years, the "mini-ice age" from 1250-1850 leads to this detail- [quote]…if history is a guide, it is safe to say that weak solar activity for a prolonged period of time can have a negative impact on global temperatures in the troposphere which is the bottom-most layer of Earth’s atmosphere - and where we all live. There have been two notable historical periods with decades-long episodes of low solar activity. The first period is known as the “Maunder Minimum”, named after the solar astronomer Edward Maunder, and it lasted from around 1645 to 1715. The second one is referred to as the “Dalton Minimum”, named for the English meteorologist John Dalton, and it lasted from about 1790 to 1830. Both of these historical periods coincided with below-normal global temperatures in an era now referred to by many as the “Little Ice Age”. In addition, research studies in just the past couple of decades have found a complicated relationship between solar activity, cosmic rays, and clouds on Earth. This research suggests that in times of low solar activity where solar winds are typically weak; more cosmic rays reach the Earth’s atmosphere which, in turn, has been found to lead to an increase in certain types of clouds that can act to cool the Earth. Here is the link that got me thinking. Notice how the planet is at the peak temperature. Hundreds of thousands of years of data, all showing that we are on the cusp of a new ice age.

For instance, the women sitting at a table at a restaurant next to my table went on and on about gay men must be suffering form a disease of the libido because all they care about is sex. They're incapable of having loving relationships because that requires a woman...blah, blah, blah. It was all I could do to keep myself from making a scene. However, if I came off as obviously gay, I'm sure they would've never carried on a conversation like that.
The US built a nuclear bomb in about 3 or 4 years while fighting two of the most powerful countries on Earth, 70 years ago. Today, even North Korea, India and Pakistan managed to build one. How is it the Iranians are having so much trouble building one now? Is it all fiction? Should we just obliterate them?
I'm sure very few of you are aware of what happened Wednesday night- the Swiss National (aka Central) Bank reassured people on Monday that it would keep buying euro-bonds to keep the 1EUR TO 1.2CHF (Swiss Franc) peg in place, and then suddenly removed that "floor" on Wed night, which caused the euro to drop from 1.20 per franc to less than .90 euro to franc in milliseconds. Tens (hundreds) of billions were lost in a moment. Big FX traders are now bankrupt. The ripples keep spreading- Goldman Sucks lost billions in "carry trade" alone. (Carry trade- borrowing money in an artificially weak currency- the JPY (yen) is another favorite- and buying equity/currency in an artificially strong currency and pocketing the arbitrage) These ripples keep spreading, and Greece is the next target. Not directly, but who knows--- the signs are obvious.
Why the hell do they keep doing it? Clearly, they *can't* maintain a healthy relationship! Note that I'm not referring to couples who divorce and then re-marry each other [such as Liz Taylor and Richard Burton], but just people who've had many spouses, such as Billy Bob Thornton [6 times], John Cleese [4], or Kim Kuntrashian [3 so far].

A great many narratives invoking Greece are being tossed around, but only one really encapsulates the unvarnished truth: the Oligarchs blew it. The oligarchs in both Greece and the European Union/ECB had the opportunity a few years ago to trade some of their outsized wealth and political power for stability and sustainable expansion. Instead, they chose to not just cling to every shred of their outsized wealth and power but to actively increase it. Their greed and hubris has now put their entire system of parasitic wealth extraction at risk of collapse. Their political stranglehold on power has been weakened, and there's no going back: they blew it, and now it's too late. The debt-serfs have finally had enough. If you enter Greece in the custom search box on this site, six pages of blog entries come up. I have addressed the situation in Greece many times; this summarizes my conclusion: Greece, Please Do The Right Thing: Default Now (June 1, 2011) Thankfully, many in Greece have reached the same conclusion, for the same reasons: Greece's New FinMin Warns "We Are Going To Destroy The Greek Oligarchy System" The basic problem is that Greece Is a Kleptocracy (June 28, 2011). Greece has shown the world how oligarchies can expand their wealth and power even as their populace slides deeper into poverty. A recent article, Misrule of the Few: How the Oligarchs Ruined Greece, lays out the key dynamics. Writer Pavlos Eleftheriadis pulls no punches: "Greece has failed to address (rising wealth/income inequality) because the country’s elites have a vested interest in keeping things as they are. Since the early 1990s, a handful of wealthy families -- an oligarchy in all but name -- has dominated Greek politics. These elites have preserved their positions through control of the media and through old-fashioned favoritism, sharing the spoils of power with the country’s politicians. Greek legislators, in turn, have held on to power by rewarding a small number of professional associations and public-sector unions that support the status quo. Even as European lenders have put the country’s finances under a microscope, this arrangement has held." The vested interests have obscured the cold reality of rising inequality by focusing obsessively on "growth" as the fix-all to inequality. But this is exactly backward. As Eleftheriadis observes: "The fundamental problem facing Greece is not slow economic growth but political inequality. To the benefit of a favored few, cumbersome regulations and dysfunctional institutions remain largely unchanged, even as the country’s infrastructure crumbles, poverty increases, and corruption persists. Greek society also faces new dangers. Overall unemployment stands at 27 percent, and youth unemployment exceeds 50 percent, providing an ideal recruiting ground for extremist groups on both the left and the right. Meanwhile, the oligarchs are still profiting at the expense of the country -- and the rest of Europe." All the blather about "growth" is just propaganda to misdirect our attention from the real problem: the total domination of governance and finance by a class of vested interests and mega-wealthy cartels/oligarchies. The solution is straightforward: default on all debt by no longer making interest payments. There is no way Greece can pay back the $240 billion of current debt, and sooner the delusion that this can be renegotiated to preserve the oligarchy is smashed, the better. As for the big threat of kicking Greece out of the euro currency--since most Greeks are already impoverished, how can they get any poorer? The reality is poor countries prosper by making their goods and services cheaper via currency devaluations, and by paying a healthy rate of interest on capital so capital is attracted and invested productively, as high interest rates make speculative, marginal gambles soberingly risky. The only people with enough wealth left to worry about a return to a sovereign currency are the wealthy who own the assets and who depend on handouts from the E.U. As the old saying has it, you can't get blood from a turnip. The impoverished face little downside from leaving the stranglehold of the euro, and only upside from a return to a sovereign currency controlled by the Greeks rather than the E.U. or the European Central Bank (ECB). The threat of expelling Greece from the euro is hollow. A return to a sovereign currency puts the responsibility for prudent management of government expenditures and debt back in the hands of the Greek people and the leaders they elect. Why is that something terrible? If the new leadership of Greece pursues policies of fiscal prudence, high interest rates, zero-tolerance for corruption and freeing up the Greek economy to encourage small-scale enterprise, any decline in Greece's sovereign currency will be brief. If they pursue meet the new boss, same as the old boss policies, then the Greek people will remain shackled in poverty. We have to remember that the lenders who entrusted capital to marginal borrowers took the risk and therefore have to absorb the losses. In this case, the irresponsible lenders include sovereign nations that acted to protect their own oligarchies. Why? Once one oligarchy falls, it will threaten to topple a long line of oligarch dominoes.
What a cutie. Can you believe this is what 43 looks like??
Russian Troops Seize Gas Plant Beyond Crimean Border, Ukraine Says Scores of Russian troops that landed by helicopter seized a gas plant just beyond the regional border of Crimea on Saturday, the Ukrainian government said. The action was Russia’s most provocative since its forces took over Crimea two weeks ago. The latest troop advance came one day before Crimea was set to vote on whether to secede from Ukraine, and it was testing Ukrainian leaders’ resolve to engage Russia’s much more powerful military if it moved beyond Crimea. By late afternoon, Ukrainian troops were stationed outside the gas plant, which is on a slender sand bar to the east of the Crimean Peninsula, according to Unian, a Ukrainian news service, which quoted the local police. The news agency did not say if shots were fired. The Ukrainian foreign ministry issued a statement saying that the nation reserved the right to use all necessary measures to stop what it called a “military invasion by Russia.”
Were they as reliable as their reputation made them out to be? If this was 1971-ish, would you be tempted to buy one? I hardly ever even went in one but they sort of appealed to me and I thought they looked good in California, where they were especially popular...but they did seem to make a hell of a noise, as they went along. Could you pick up a cheap old one in good condition and expect it to run & run? I grew up in England where the original Mini was much more popular and there weren't many VW Bugs...also, of course the Hitler association put people off, but didn't seem to in America.
I think it's so strange when people act like torture and lies by the government is some new thing. FDR knew that Japan was going to bomb Pearl Harbor, but kept it secret so he had an excuse to enter WW2. He allowed thousands of innocent men and women to die so he could convince the "average person" to enter WW2. Fuck him, and the people that love his bullshit. You are the same moronic thug assholes that allowed Bush to invade and bomb the Middle East based on bullshit.

This is the thread were we post news about and discuss astronomy. We've had some cool threads lately, and I thought it would be good to have future posts appended to one thread. Planets Black Holes Galaxies Comets Big Bangs; modest bangs; small, shy bangs And more! I'll start, the Washington Post has a cool article today on a probe of the planet Ceres. I think they were being too cute and attempting to generate views by referring to this piddling dwarf-planet as a "planet", without qualification. But no matter, we're there, taking pictures and orbiting. This thread is [italic]not[/italic] for astrology posts, please.
I cringe every time I hear mention of the United States as The Homeland. That was the way Hitler referred to Germany. How awful some fool, (GWB) administration adopted that tawdry name. I'm emailing the white house again to protest our use of this dreadful name.
Our leadership keeps thinking that the answer to economic growth and ultimately job creation is more innovation, and we continue to invest billions in it. But an innovation is worthless until an entrepreneur creates a business model for it and turns that innovative idea in something customers will buy. Because we have misdiagnosed the cause and effect of economic growth, we have misdiagnosed the cause and effect of job creation. For the first time in 35 years, American business deaths now outnumber business births. Let's get one thing clear: This economy is never truly coming back unless we reverse the birth and death trends of American businesses. It is catastrophic to be dead wrong on the biggest issue of the last 50 years -- the issue of where jobs come from...when small and medium-sized businesses are dying faster than they're being born, so is free enterprise. And when free enterprise dies, America dies with it.

The no shit Sherlock article of the week! New claims from the so-called "20th hijacker" have bolstered the almost-unthinkable scenario that the 9/11 terrorists were directly backed by a Saudi royal family with intimate personal and financial ties to the Bush clan, the U.S. intelligence community, and Rupert Murdoch's Fox News. Here's everything we know about the increasingly plausible case that the Saudis did 9/11. The fabled "20th hijacker" says Al Qaeda and the Saudis worked hand-in-glove. The latest bombshell claims come from Zacarias Moussaoui, a convicted Al Qaeda operative who's currently spending a life sentence in supermax prison in Colorado. Moussaoui was once fingered as a 20th hijacker for the Twin Towers plot, though no solid evidence of a connection between him and the attack has ever been revealed publicly. Moussaoui gave a two-day deposition last October in a civil lawsuit filed against Saudi Arabia by families of 9/11 victims. In his testimony, which only became public this week, Moussaoui claims that he met personally with several of Saudi Arabia's most famous and important leaders on Osama Bin Laden's behalf; that the kingdom's VIPs and its leading religious court backed Bin Laden all the way up to the 2001 attacks with tons of money and coordination; and that a Saudi diplomat based in Washington had even discussed a plan with Moussaoui to down Air Force One with a Stinger missile smuggled through the embassy. Allegations of Saudi involvement in 9/11 have long been rumored. The general charges are nothing new; 15 of the 19 September 11 hijackers were Saudi, and had a remarkably easy time traveling through Europe, Africa, Asia, and America. The billion-dollar-plus lawsuit for which Moussaoui testified was first filed in 2002, but has moved slowly through the courts as Saudi representatives have fought it every step of the way. The 9/11 families behind the case have long maintained that Saudi officials "knowingly and directly" aided the terrorists. Rumors have also swirled for years about 28 missing pages of the U.S. 9/11 Commission's final investigative report on the attacks. Those pages were redacted by order of the Bush administration on the grounds that their release would reveal "sources and methods that would make it harder for us to win the war on terror." But critics and even many members of the 9/11 Commission say there's another reason for the redactions: Those pages delineate Saudi involvement in the terror plot that killed nearly 3,000 people. The Obama administration, perhaps just as concerned as its predecessor about maintaining good U.S.-Saudi relations, has so far declined to release the pages, too. But new developments suggest the ties are deeper than we ever imagined. Besides the new Moussaoui allegations, efforts to release the 28 pages have been gathering steam in recent weeks. Former Senators Bob Graham of Florida and Bob Kerrey of Nebraska and John Lehman, ex-Navy secretary for Ronald Reagan, have also all filed affidavits in the 9/11 survivors' lawsuit saying that the Saudi terror ties need more scrutiny. "I am convinced that there was a direct line between at least some of the terrorists who carried out the Sept. 11 attacks and the government of Saudi Arabia," Graham—who headed Congress' joint 9/11 inquiry and has seen the pages—wrote in his affidavit, as reported in the New York Times this week. Graham maintains there's a U.S. government "coverup" of the pages because they "point a very strong finger at Saudi Arabia as the principal financier" of 9/11. "This may seem stale to some but it's as current as the headlines we see today," he told the Daily Beast earlier this month. The new allegations are all about the money. Moussaoui says that before 9/11, he was the only Al Qaeda operative who was fluent in English and computer skills and had a business background, which is why he was privy to so much of the organization's sensitive info. The convict explained in halting English how he helped build Al Qaeda's first computer database of its finances in the late '90s, on a Toshiba computer in Kandahar not far from the Taliban's headquarters. Specifically, the job gave him intimate knowledge of Al Qaeda's donor base: "Shaykh Osama wanted to keep a record who give money because—who give money, who—who is to be listened to or who contribute to—to the jihad." He insists that Al Qaeda regularly got infusions of cash from the Saudi Binladin Group, the source of the family's wealth, which also did business with American private equity firms like the Carlyle Group—a so-called "ex-president's club" whose partners include a Reagan-era defense secretary and intelligence operative and former Bush Sr. secretary of state James Baker. Bin Laden's family allegedly lied about ever cutting ties with him. Some of those Al Qaeda donor names, Moussaoui said, stuck with him. They included Abdullah bin Laden, a half-brother of the Al Qaeda founder who had lived in America, studied at Harvard, and sworn in the weeks after 9/11 that he had "no relationship whatsoever with Osama or any of his activities." Moussaoui adds that many of bin Laden's relatives, including his mother, came to visit him in Afghanistan, and claims by the family that they had severed ties with the jihadi were "a complete lie. An absolute lie." Moussaoui said he met Abdallah bin Laden, a prominent son of Osama, in Afghanistan, and that when Abdallah returned to Saudi Arabia — where he lives today — he made a public but superficial show of cutting ties with his dad: "[T]he Saudi tell him either you fit in publicly or we take your money away." But the Saudi princes were stalwart patrons. Moussaoui remembered other donors, though, because they "were known within the circle of the mujahideen, some of them extremely famous, like... Waleed bin Talal... Prince Turki Al Faisal Al Saud... Prince Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud, Prince Mohammed Al Faisal Al Saud, and Haifa Al Faisal Al Saud." Those men include some of the most influential princes in Saudi Arabia's government, with deep ties to its intelligence service, and to America through tons of businesses and diplomatic posts: Prince Turki Al Faisal recently served as Saudi ambassador to the U.S. and Great Britain, but before that, he led the Saudi intelligence services for 14 years—resigning on September 1, 2001, just days before the 9/11 attacks. Prince Bandar bin Sultan served as a telegenic Saudi ambassador to the U.S. for more than two decades until stepping aside for Prince Turki and taking control of the kingdom's National Security Council. Bandar is especially close to George W. Bush and is widely considered as a member of the Bush family—a relationship explored in the Michael Moore film Fahrenheit 9/11. Waleed bin Talal, another Saudi royal, is widely considered one of the most influential businessmen in the world, at one time the largest shareholder in Citicorp and the second-largest shareholder in Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. In fact, his holdings in the parent corporation of Fox News—one of the biggest media beneficiaries of the post-9/11 war on terror—came under scrutiny in 2010, when it was revealed he'd given financial support to the imam of the proposed "ground zero mosque" while that proposed religious center was being blasted on Fox News. Worth at least $23.5 billion, he spent last year dumping nearly all of his News Corp stock—$188 million worth—in a move that was publicly acknowledged just this Wednesday, a day after the New York Times published Moussaoui's allegations. However, he still holds 6.6 percent of 21st Century Fox—which owns Fox News—so he still has a stake in the war-loving, terrorist-hating network's popularity. Moussaoui also claims he traveled from Afghanistan to Saudi Arabia twice for face-to-face meetings with Prince Turki on bin Laden's behalf. Moussaoui—who says he was picked because he was one of the few non-Saudis in Al Qaeda at the time, and less likely to be pressured by the princes—provided Turki and other Saudi VIPs with sealed letters from bin Laden. The trips, by private plane, had been arranged in the Saudi Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan, Moussaoui says. The courier says he didn't know what was in the letters, but he suspected they pertained to the line of Saudi succession after the eventual death of King Fahd—a public enemy of Bin Laden's who was ill at the time. The meetings with Turki included many other Saudi princes, Moussaoui says: "there was Abdullah and there was Sultan, Bandar, and there was Waleed bin Talal, and Salman." On completion of the trips, Mouassaoui says, he received letters from Turki to deliver back to bin Laden in Afghanistan. It wasn't just the playboys; it was the "priests," too. Moussaoui also claims that Al Qaeda's donors included all of the men on Saudi Arabia's Majlis ash-Shura ulema—the religious council that promulgates and reviews all of the Kingdom's laws. Moussaoui says Osama bin Laden took a position "of complete reverence and obedience" to the ulema, likening it to a Catholic's obedience toward the pope. Moussaoui says that in everything bin Laden did, he "was doing it with the express advice and consent and directive of the ulema." The implication is clear: Al Qaeda would not have risen as a terrorist organization, and 9/11 would not have happened, without the blessing of Saudi Arabia's political and religious leadership. Saudi officials gave material support for terror and actively discussed terror plans. The Saudis have had plenty of practice supporting jihad; in the 1980s, they helped Ronald Reagan's CIA funnel cash and weapons to mujaheddin fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan—mujaheddin who included bin Laden and his future Al Qaeda partners. Moussaoui says his travel to Chechnya and the flow of fighters to Al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan was made possible with Saudi dollars and work done through Islamic charities and other front organizations. Saudi government money bought bin Laden tanks, Kalashnikovs, bulldozers, salaries for fighters and their families—"everything," Moussaoui says. The inmate recounts practicing with explosives and several terror plots that never came to anything, but his most sensational claim is "that he discussed a plan to shoot down Air Force One with a Stinger missile with a staff member at the Saudi Embassy in Washington," according to the Times. Moussaoui said he'd met with the diplomat and discussed scouting locations "suitable to launch a Stinger attack and, then, after, be able to escape." His contact also discussed the possibility of Moussaoui smuggling the Stinger into the U.S. through the Saudi embassy. But "my plan was not to launch the attack," he says, "it was only to see the feasibility of the attack." The CIA's current head was pals with the Saudi princes while all of this went on. John Brennan, tapped to be the CIA director by President Obama two years ago, has special expertise with the Saudi royals implicated in Moussaoui's testimony: the Arabic-fluent Brennan operated for the CIA in Saudi Arabia for years. In 1998, then-CIA director George Tenet appointed Brennan to be the agency's chief of station—its top spy and "liaison," as Tenet later put it—in Riyadh, the Saudi capital. Brennan's counterpart in Saudi intelligence, with whom he met often, was Prince Turki al-Faisal—the same royal Moussaoui claims to have worked with on bin Laden's behalf. Those facts lead to some uncomfortable questions: Was the CIA's top man in Saudia Arabia—and the current head of American intelligence-gathering efforts—so bad at his job that he was working with Al Qaeda supporters without knowing it? Or worse: Did he have an idea of the royals' pro-bin Laden activities, and not sound an alarm? Moussaoui's testimony, while damning, deserves ample scrutiny. "I swear by Allah that everything I say until the end of this testimony will be true," Moussaoui told his questioners, four times in a row. "May Allah curse the liar." But it's unclear just how reliable the convicted terrorist really is. He's lied before—as when, after years of denying any involvement in 9/11, he claimed in a 2006 cross-examination that he and "shoe bomber" Richard Reid were supposed to crash a plane into the White House in the 2001 attacks. (Most experts discount that claim and say Moussaoui may have been angling for a death sentence to complete his martyrdom.) And a defense expert testified at Moussaoui's trial that he was mentally ill, diagnosing him as a paranoid schizophrenic with grand delusions, though the court found him fit to stand trial. Ultimately, almost a decade and a half have passed since 9/11, plenty of time to embellish a narrative Moussaoui had never before revealed—a tidy narrative that names all of Saudi Arabia's most rich and famous players. His story runs counter to the narrative that Bin Laden and Saudi Arabia hated each other. One reason to question Moussaoui's account is that from the days immediately after 9/11 to the present, the prevailing theory has been that Osama bin Laden always hated the Saudi regime for cooperating with America, and he would never have done business with U.S.-friendly princes who publicly declared him an enemy in Saudi Arabia. Moussaoui maintains that while bin Laden might have battled publicly with some of Saudi Arabia's ruling family members, including then-King Fahd, Osama enjoyed some of the family's support and never crossed the country's religious authorities: "Osama bin Laden went against Al Saud, but not all of Al Saud, he went against Fahd." The royals who supported Al Qaeda did it for many reasons, Moussaoui said. It inoculated them against the anger that many jihadis felt toward King Fahd. It also kept the jihadis busy in far-flung, dangerous climes, preventing them from focusing on Saudi Arabia as a target. And it kept the donors in good standing with the religious authorities of the ulema, who could have condemned them for the country's "widespread homosexuality," financial practices, and embrace of American troops. The point, Moussaoui said, was to be able to say: "Look, see, we are not against Islam or the jihad, we finance bin Laden…You don't finance jihad if you don't believe in Allah." Saudi Arabia says it's in the clear. Other insiders say that's bunk. The Times says Saudi Arabia's embassy in the U.S. sent the paper a press release on Monday insisting "the national Sept. 11 commission had rejected allegations that the Saudi government or Saudi officials had funded Al Qaeda." The Saudis also have called Moussaoui a lying lunatic and lobbied for the release of the infamous 28 pages of the 9/11 Commission Report, eager to prove they don't incriminate the government. Their case is supported by the 9/11 Commission's former executive director, Philip Zelikow, who insists there's nothing more to investigate, and the 9/11-Saudi ties are nothing but rumor. "[W]hat we found is reflected in the commission report," he told the Times Thursday. (It's important to note, however, that some 9/11 families had questioned the appointment of Zelikow to the 9/11 Commission, since he had been a George W. Bush supporter who helped the president pick his cabinet—the very same officers whose relationships and job performance were supposed to be scrutinized by the 9/11 Commission.) Other respected bipartisans who served on that commission and Congress' joint panel disagree with Saudi Arabia—and, by implication, with Zelikow. Lehman and Kerrey have leveled fresh accusations against the Saudis. And then, of course, there is Graham. The Saudis "have continued, maybe accelerated their support for the most extreme form of Islam," Graham told the Daily Beast recently. Al Qaeda? ISIS? Ideologically and logistically, he said they were all "a creation of Saudi Arabia."

WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration thinks the Supreme Court should rule that state bans on same-sex marriage are unconstitutional, according to a brief filed by Justice Department lawyers on Friday. The amicus brief urges the Supreme Court to rule that such bans are "incompatible with the Constitution" because they "exclude a long-mistreated class of human beings from a legal and social status of tremendous import." The court will hear oral arguments in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges in April.

Despite disapproval from the American people and his own country, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu still intends to speak before Congress on March 3rd in an effort to sabotage President Obama. But the White House isn’t going to let him get away with it and Israel stands to lose big time. For years, Netanyahu has constantly whined that Iran is seeking a nuclear weapon to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth, which is pretty ironic considering Israel has made an effort to exterminate Palestinians. Rather than commit US blood and treasure to a catastrophic war against Iran, President Obama has slapped them with sanctions and has opened diplomatic relations in the hopes of maintaining peace by preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon while allowing the use of nuclear power to generate energy. Clearly, however, Netanyahu isn’t pleased by this. He would rather see American troops start World War III and risk their own lives while American taxpayers foot the bill for it instead of Israelis. Republicans are also hawkish when it comes to Iran and they have pledged allegiance to a foreign leader instead of their own president. The GOP hates President Obama so much that House Speaker John Boehner blatantly broke US law to secretly invite Netanyahu to speak to a joint session of Congress so they could embarrass the president together. In turn, the White House promised that there would be a price to pay for this total lack of respect. “There are things you simply don’t do,” a White House official said in January. “He spat in our face publicly and that’s no way to behave. Netanyahu ought to remember that President Obama has a year and a half left to his presidency, and that there will be a price.” And now, the White House is bringing the hammer down. According to the AP, President Obama is considering multiple options to fire back against Netanyahu. Among them: a presidential interview with a prominent journalist known for coverage of the rift between Obama and Netanyahu, multiple Sunday show television appearances by senior national security aides and a pointed snub of America’s leading pro-Israel lobby, which is holding its annual meeting while Netanyahu is in Washington, according to the officials. … But the White House is now doubling down on a cold-shoulder strategy, including dispatching Cabinet members out of the country and sending a lower-ranking official than normal to represent the administration at the annual policy conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the officials said.” Among the high level executive officials giving Netanyahu the cold-shoulder includes Vice-President Joe Biden, who would usually attend such a speech as part of his Senate President duties. However, Biden basically told Netanyahu to go f*ck himself by announcing his intention to be out of the country on that particular day. And that’s not all. The White House is also considering snubbing AIPAC, which would be huge since administrations usually send top foreign policy officials to represent the White House. The White House isn’t just angry about Netanyahu’s speech and his effort to sabotage diplomatic talks, they are also furious about Israel leaking details of the talks in an effort to demonize and derail them, even though nothing has been finalized, and won’t be until at least the end of March when a framework is tentatively scheduled to be in place. That’s why Israel is now being left out of the loop on negotiations. The White House and State Department have both publicly accused Israeli officials of leaking “cherry-picked” details of the negotiations to try to discredit the administration. And, in extraordinary admissions this week, the administration acknowledged that the U.S. is withholding sensitive details of the talks from Israel, its main Middle East ally, to prevent such leaks. Netanyahu needs to cancel this speech or his country needs to intervene and cancel it for him before it is too late. This act of disrespect is an effort to undermine President Obama’s authority on US soil, even though voters elected Obama to be their leader, NOT Netanyahu. This violation of protocol is so bad that even Fox News expressed shock and outrage that Republicans would disrespect President Obama in this way. This is a deliberate attempt to wreck crucial diplomatic negotiations with Iran that could peacefully prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon. But Netanyahu and Republicans oppose peace because what they want is a bloody and costly war. Only Netanyahu would rather Israel not be the country to fight it or pay for it. President Obama is done taking sh*t from the GOP and Netanyahu. After all, we are Israel’s greatest ally. They NEED us. We do NOT need them. Netanyahu is directly threatening our own national autonomy. Republicans seem to think Netanyahu is our real president, and frankly, it appears Netanyahu thinks he is as well. But he is overplaying his hand and crossing a line that should result in far steeper consequences for him and his tiny nation. It’s time to re-evaluate the “friendship” between our nation and Israel. Israel receives $3 billion in defense spending every year from the pockets of American taxpayers. This should be terminated immediately. Furthermore, if Israel wants to act like a bully, we should treat them like one. We’re talking about a nation that deliberately killed innocent Palestinian children in multiple attacks that killed thousands of human beings while multiple Israeli officials called for committing actual genocide. You know, like Hitler did to Jews during World War II. Last time I checked, we went to war with Germany and prosecuted Nazi officials for committing these atrocities. We didn’t send them billions of dollars and call them our friends. The talks with Iran are crucial to keeping American troops from having to sacrifice their lives in yet another pointless war in the Middle East. A war, I might add, that hasn’t even started yet and won’t be started unless a war monger named Benjamin Netanyahu gets his way because of the temper tantrum he is about to throw in front of Congress and the American people. Israel is also committing hypocrisy. As Netanyahu whines about Iran, the fact is that Israel has a nuclear weapons program of their very own. And Israel has repeatedly refused to allow the International Atomic Energy Agency to inspect their nuclear facilities. They’ve already demonstrated their willingness to commit genocide Muslims. A nuclear weapon only makes it easier to do so. It’s no wonder why Iran would want a nuclear weapon of their own. They fear a strike by an aggressive neo-con dominated Israel. How can we be sure Israel won’t be the nation that pushes the button to set the world on fire? If we are going to insist that Iran not have a nuclear weapon, then we should also insist that Israel give up their own in the interest of international security, safety, and peace. And if they don’t comply, they should be hit with the same sanctions Iran has been subject to. Israel and Netanyahu need to learn the hard way that you can’t insult a sitting US President and abuse the far too close relationship between our two governments without consequences. President Obama is the elected leader of the United States. Netanyahu is not. By disrespecting our president, Israel disrespects us and that cannot be allowed to stand.

When this first came out did they publicize the fact that she was a woman? I'm watching it for the first time and although the performance is quite good, I'm having trouble believing she is a man.

A social and economic system that respects the right of each human being to be free to guide his own life as he chooses, that requires of men respectful and courteous conduct toward their fellow human beings, and which fosters a modesty of belief against any presumption against paternalism is surely the most ethical system of social cooperation ever stumbled upon my mankind.

Generally singers have years of working at clubs and such before recording their first albums. They can pick from numerous songs they wrote over the years of waiting. Subsequent albums suffer because songs were only written over short periods of time. Such singers I can think of include Tracy Chapman, J Lo, Jody Watley, Mariah Carey. Others?

From President Obama's speech today, see below. This is why it's important to vote Democratic in the November election. We need more representatives who will fight for the working man and woman, to keep these gains from being reversed and to move forward with more gains. When President Obama was elected, businesses where laying off 800,000 people a month; today, they are hiring 200,000 people a month. The unemployment rate has dropped from 10.9% in 2009 to 6.1% today. Over the last 4.5 years, businesses have created 10 million new jobs. This is the longest uninterrupted stretch of job creation in our nation's history. There are more job openings now than anytime since 2001. During the Obama Administration, the US has put more people back to work than in Europe, Japan, and every other advanced economy COMBINED. Of course, there are people who are still struggling, that is why we need to vote Democratic in all offices this November, to elect people who will fight for the working man and woman. We can't afford to have these gains reversed.

I realize it's a cliche, but how many of you feel like you don't actually live life to the fullest? For instance, you could be doing things that actually advance you in the workplace, making friends, traveling to places, but you don't. Maybe you are avoidant/shy or just don't have any time. I have never gotten over my fear of social rejection and I'm extremely self-conscious myself. I've been out of my Master's program for a few years now and although I do feel like I've taken more initiative in certain areas, I feel like I'm doing something wrong. What are your stories?

A suspected rapist has been beaten to death by a lynch mob who stormed a jail in India. The man was stripped naked, beaten, stoned and dragged for four miles through the streets of Dimapur tied to a motorbike. Local media reported that the mob intended to publicly hang him but the man succumbed to his injuries on the way on Thursday evening. Instead, his body was strung up on fencing around the city’s Clock Tower landmark on display as men crowded around taking pictures on their phones. At least one protester died and 20 were injured in the ensuing riots as officers fired tear gas and blanks and the mob retaliated with missiles and set police cars on fire. Police said they were powerless to save the man, named locally as 35-year-old Syed Farid Khan, as the crowds numbered in their thousands and included young students in their school uniforms. L.L. Doungal, a police official in the remote Nagaland state, told CNN Khan was believed to be an illegal immigrant from Bangladesh. “There were students in uniform. So, we had to use minimum force,” Doungal added. “We retrieved his body before it could be hung,” Doungal said. “The situation is still volatile.” Khan was accused of raping a girl from a local women’s college multiple times on 24 February. Tensions had been growing in Dimapur between native Naga people and Bangladeshis when organisations including the Naga Students’ Federation and Naga Women Hoho started protesting on Wednesday for his harsh punishment.

This singer’s ex-husband is doing a lot of whining about how awful it was when he found out that the singer was cheating on him with a married male celebrity. What he fails to mention, though, is the fact that his marriage to the singer was a total sham. He is gay, she was his beard, they married out of friendship, and BOTH of them were sleeping with other men during their relationship! The Ex’s anger actually stems from the fact that he lost his posh lifestyle as soon as she divorced him for The Other Guy. Do you feel sorry for anyone in this story?

I've been watching episodes on DVD recently. It still holds up well after all these years. And yeah, the show goes off the rails in the last two seasons, but there are still a few gems. Bruce and Cybill were just perfect together, and Allyce Beasley was great as the dizzy DiPesto. I didn't know that the characters were originally modeled after Bill Murray and Jessica Lange. (Halfway through writing the actual pilot script did Glenn Caron realize Cybill was Maddie) Of course, neither Bill or Jessica would have considered a television series at that time. But you can't help imagining how a Moonlighting movie with them would have turned out.
Inspired by the "new modesty" thread. Does anyone goes to a gym where guys don't do the towel dance and casually, comfortably let it hang out, '80s style? Non-sexually, no perving, that is.

Schoolboy's Christian Grey costume banned from World Book Day event Liam Scholes was banned from photos of the event at his Manchester school and had to change Fifty Shades character to James Bond Matthew Weaver, Friday 6 March 2015 09.45 GMT Serial killers, wicked witches and evil warlords were all permitted, but when a pupil turned up in school for World Book Day as the BDSM-addicted protagonist from Fifty Shades of Grey, teachers drew the line. Liam Scholes, 11, was told by Sale high school that he could not take part in the annual literary event dressed as Christian Grey, complete with bondage cable ties and an eye mask as props. His mother, Nicola Scholes, a primary school teacher, accused the school of double standards. Talking to the Manchester Evening News, she pointed out that a teacher was dressed as the blood-splattered forensics-expert-turned-serial-killer Dexter from the book and US TV show. The school’s Facebook page shows other teachers had dressed as villains including Darth Vader and Oz’s Wicked Witch of the East, while the school invited Tim Collins, author of Diary of a Wimpy Vampire, to speak at the event. Scholes said her son had not read the book or seen the film, but it was his idea to dress up as Grey. Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, she said: “I don’t think there is anyone in the country who doesn’t know about the book – it’s been plastered everywhere for the past couple of years … Liam’s argument was that it was the most talked about book character for the last couple of years.” She said Liam knew the meaning of the props he was carrying. “He is aware that the book contains things of a sexual nature,” she said. She added it was unfair of the school to ban her son from photos of the event and ask him to change character to James Bond. She said Liam’s class mates were amused by the costume. “The vast majority of the students took it for the tongue-in-cheek joke that it was meant to be. There was no offence intended, it was meant to be a laugh. The school, however, didn’t see that. “They wanted him to be James Bond [who] ironically is a very promiscuous character who kills people. So I don’t know who is worse of the two.” She said she “agreed to disagree” with the school. Lynn Nicholls, headteacher of Sale high school, said she stood by her decision, which “reflected the school’s high standards in terms of student behaviour, welfare and safeguarding. “The student was not excluded from taking part in any of the activities as has been wrongly reported,” she said. “His costume was modified and he was then able to fully participate and enjoy the day with his peers. “The aim of our World Book Day events was to celebrate and encourage reading and we are disappointed that what was a fantastic day for our students has been marred by this issue.” Meanwhile, other World Book Day costumes to raise eyebrows were those of the TV presenter Myleene Klass’s two daughters. Using the hashtag #minimama, the former Hear’Say singer proudly revealed on Twitter that she had dressed them as herself. Well, she has written books after all.

An Arkansas politician gave away his adopted daughter to a man who then raped her. Representative Justin Harris and his wife Marsha adopted the girl, six, and her sister, three, through the Arkansas Department of Human Services in March 2013. They initially took in the third sister, eight, but she left the house before the Harris family officially adopted the girls. The two oldest girls had been the victims of sexual abuse in their original home prior to entering the foster care system. Then, citing problems with their behavior just a few months later in September, Rep. Harris gave the girls to Eric Francis, who worked in a Christian school Harris ran, called Growing God’s Kingdom Preschool.Harris at the time considered him a 'trusted friend'. But in April 2014 Francis was arrested for sexual assault on the girl, and since then has been charged and is serving a 40-year sentence after pleading guilty to three counts of sexual assault in the second degree.Rep. Harris said at the time he was 'devastated and sickened,' but failed to mention that he and his wife had initially adopted the girls. The Arkansas Times revealed these details in an expose on Rep. Harris they published this week, learning he had adopted the girls from prosecutor documents used in Francis' trial. They also reached out to Rep. Harris who refused to confirm if he had rehomed the girls, and when asked to comment quoted the Bible.'No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you,' he told the reporter. He then added: 'You don't know what we've been through this past year. You have no idea what my family has been through. I don't care what the people of Arkansas think about me.'I don't care if I lose my position. I care what my wife thinks about me, and I care what my three sons think about me.' According to a police report from Sgt. Kimberly A. Warren: 'Mr. and Mrs. Harris placed the girls into the care of Eric Francis and his wife Stacy Francis in October 2013.'It was later reported to the Department of Human Services that Mr. and Mrs. Harris had left the children with another family and had basically abandoned them. This incident was reported to the child abuse hotline and the children were interviewed.' It was during that interview that police learned the 6-year-old had been the victim of sexual abuse. She stated that Francis had raped her genital area to help her go to sleep, a claim he did not deny. The incident happened while his wife was away for two weeks on a trip to Pennsylvania. It was also reported in the story that the Harris family 'continued to accept adoption subsidy money even after giving the children away.' Following the publication of the story, he and his wife, who have three biological sons, released a statement through their lawyer. 'Rep. and Mrs. Harris have suffered a severe injustice. Due to threats of possible abandonment charges, they were unable to reach out to DHS for help with children who presented a serious risk of harm to other children in their home,' the statement read. 'Upon the advice of both a psychiatrist and a pediatrician, they were forced to move the children to the home of trusted friends, who had a lot of experience with children with reactive attachment disorder. Rep. and Mrs. Harris are devastated about the outcome of that decision, but faced with no good option, they did the best that they knew how.' more about this disgusting piece of shit at the link

I'm watching an old THE LUCY SHOW episode. In it, Lucy somehow ends up being a show girl in a Danny Thomas musical number. She can't keep up with the pro dancers and keeps bumping into Thomas. Hilarity ensues. It's in color and looks beautiful and Lucy looks great. But I could never really get into the post-I LOVE LUCY shows for one simple reason. There was no payoff to Lucy's shenanigan's because there was no fallout with Ricky. Sure, Mr. Mooney would yell at her, but the stakes were with Ricky. I wonder how the shows were received at the time.
Ok. Let's try this again. No wondering why the other threads were deleted. Any news today? Are there any death toll updates?
That's the subject of a NYT piece today, one inferring that Uber is just another element of the "New York sanitization" that's been ongoing since the Giuliani years. "It started innocently enough: Rachel Rabbit White, a journalist in her 20s who writes about sex, was hailing a taxi with her boyfriend at the time and a female friend after a Lower East Side party. But “as soon as we got into the cab,” Ms. White said, “it became clear that this was going to be a threesome.” Within moments, the taxi ride turned into Plato’s Retreat on wheels, a montage of hair pulling, collar tugging and bodies writhing in darkness. Far from being an impediment to passion, the unglamorous setting was an enabler. “It was as if being in the space of the cab decided it for us,” Ms. White said. Ah, the strange erotic power of the New York taxi. On the surface, these utilitarian urban people movers that sometimes smell like old gym socks would seem about as sexy as a Yankee Stadium bathroom. But for countless reasons, some New Yorkers long considered the taxi back seat a pay-by-the-hour love shack. But that illicit tradition is under threat of late, as ride-hailing apps like Uber and Lyft sanitize yet another dark corner of New York night life. Unlike traditional taxis, where anonymity is the rule (and the attraction), these services know exactly who has been naughty or nice in their back seats. Not only do drivers know a passenger’s name and mobile number, but they are also asked to review a passenger’s behavior. These customer reviews, which function like a credit score that is based on conduct rather than financial standing, have put a damper on back-seat shenanigans. Indeed, acting out under those circumstances is a bit like streaking through Grand Central Terminal with a “Hello, My Name Is ______” tag plastered to your chest. With some users feeling motivated to limit their back-seat behavior to job-interview politeness, the raunchy back-seat hookup — immortalized in films like “Dressed to Kill” and shows like “Taxicab Confessions” — suddenly looks like a vestige of a Lost New York, doomed to go the way of peep shows, streetwalkers and Al Goldstein’s “Midnight Blue.” “I wouldn’t have back-seat crazy fests in Uber because, hypothetically, the voyeur driver would have my name, address and a system that lets them rate me,” said Twanna A. Hines, a sex educator in New York and Washington. “Getting naked in an Uber has occurred to me about as often as I’ve considered doing a striptease in public, which is never.” For her, “New York City cabs are one-night stands,” she said. “What happens during the encounter doesn’t really matter because I’ll never see that driver again.” Ms. White echoed that sentiment. “I use Uber a lot, and it’s definitely not sexy because they see your name as soon as you get in,” she said.“It’s this very formal setting, a professional setting, almost. They know you, they’re watching you.” By contrast, “in a New York City cab, it’s not very well kept up, the driver’s on the phone, ignoring you,” Ms. White said. “There’s a feeling you can do whatever you want. Would you rather have sex in a seedy motel room or a really luxe hotel room? Which elicits the hotter affair?” She is hardly alone in that opinion. When it comes to back-seat bacchanalia, everyone, it seems, has a story — some verging on triple-X. After all, it should be noted, there are still more than 13,000 medallion taxis roaming the streets. “There’s something about admitting you need someone else to take the wheel for the night that leads you to relinquishing other vulnerabilities,” said a 28-year-old marketing manager in the tech industry named Suzanne, who asked that her surname not be used because, well, she’s a marketing manager, not an adult-film star."

I'm moving to LA next week and nearly every person I've told has said something to the effect of, "Ugh, LA is so superficial." In my past visits, I've never met the stereotypical LA resident that's depicted on Real Housewives or reality TV (which I assume is where most people get their stereotypes from). Most people seem chill, laid-back, and not anymore focused on appearance than people in San Francisco, which is where I'm moving from. Is this one of those city stereotypes that applies to maybe 10% of the population and gets blown out of proportion due to hearsay? Like how all New Yorkers are supposedly brash and rude?

A childhood friend of Shiloh’s mom isn’t one bit surprised. “Angelina was also a tomboy,” the friend tells In Touch. “She changed her name to Vince when she was the same age.”

A song of theirs came on the radio and reignited my love for this band. We'll never see rock at such a level again. Any stories or gossip beyond the usual (underage groupies, stole from blues musicians) or encounters? It's hard for me to believe that Robert Plant or Jimmy Page never fucked a guy.

Neil Patrick Harris isn't conjuring up another Academy Awards hosting gig for himself -- so let's all tuck that notion right back into his magical briefcase. The "How I Met Your Mother" star revealed that this year's Oscars gig was a one-time thing, saying that given the amount of work he put in and the feedback he received, he isn't sure it's worth doing again. "I don't know that my family nor my soul could take it," the father of two joked in an interview with the Huffington Post. "It's a beast. It was fun to check off the list, but for the amount of time spent and the understandable opinionated response, I don't know that it's a delightful balance to do every year or even again." The actor, 41, who successfully hosted four Tony Awards ceremonies and two Primetime Emmy Awards, didn't receive the most glowing reviews for his performance in the highly scrutinized gig. The show's ratings were down from the previous year's telecast, which was hosted by Ellen DeGeneres. "I didn't keep up with it obsessively, but it was interesting to see just what people thought landed and didn't," Harris said of the feedback. "It's so difficult for one who's simply watching the show to realize just how much time and concession and compromise and explanation has gone into almost every single thing. Every joke. Wording of joke. Placement of joke. Canceling of joke. Embellishment for just one line. And I'm not saying that to defend everything I said as if it was the absolute best choice, but it's also an award show, and you’re powering through 14 acts filled with 20-plus awards." Before the show, he tweeted that he was "super appreciative" of the writers who were hired to write his material for the Oscars. "If only they could write everything I say always. #proud," he said. After the show, he tweeted: "My iphone shattered the morning of the Oscars. I probably should have read more into that. #harbinger"

What a POS sellout Call it Bill Nye's big about-face. While the "Science Guy" has been a staunch defender of climate change research and the theory of evolution, he's long been a bit of a skeptic when it comes to the safety of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) -- despite the fact that 88 percent of scientists believe they're safe. But now, following a visit to St. Louis-based agricultural company Monsanto, Bill Nye appears to have changed his mind. In a backstage interview following an appearance on Bill Maher's HBO show (see above), Nye hinted at plans to rewrite a chapter of his new book "Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation." "There's a chapter in there which I'm going to revise," Nye says in the video, "It's about genetically modified food. I went to Monsanto and I spent a lot of time with the scientists there and I have revised my outlook and I'm very excited about telling the world. When you're in love you want to tell the world." In the chapter he's referring to, entitled "Genetically Modified Foods--What The GMF?" Nye wrote: "Genetically engineering food is controversial, as it should be. If you're asking me, we should stop introducing genes from one species into another... Although we can know exactly what happens to any organism we modify, we just can't know what will happen to other species in that modified species' ecosystem." Nye hopes the changes will come out in the Fall. Stay tuned!

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

I'm single for the first time in several years and have been using various hookup apps and websites. I'm getting messaged constantly by 50-plus guys wanting to get fucked.

But something about a 50-year-old bottom just makes me go limp. Anyone else or is my dick unusually judgmental?

As the deadly carbon monoxide fumes from a gasoline-powered generator filled his lungs, a suicidal Conrad Roy III got scared and stepped out of his truck, but police say his 18-year-old girlfriend goaded him into taking his life with three chilling words: “Get back in.” Roy, 18, was found dead on July 13 inside his truck in the parking lot of a Fairhaven Kmart. “The sickly sweet taste of exhaust gas still could be detected,” according to police. Michelle Carter, who was a 17-year-old student at King Philip Regional High School at the time of Roy’s death, faces up to 20 years behind bars on a charge of involuntary manslaughter and will be tried as an adult. “Michelle Carter not only encouraged Conrad to take his own life, she questioned him repeatedly as to when and why he hadn’t done it yet, right up to the point of when his final text was sent to her on Saturday evening, July 12, 2014 at 6:26 p.m.,” the police report states. Carter referred to Roy as her “guardian angel,” and continued texting his cellphone 71 times after he died, according to police. After his death, the messages show Carter morphing into a suicide awareness crusader, hosting a fundraiser in his name and comforting his grieving mother and sister, according to the filings. The night before Roy’s suicide, Carter texted a friend, seemingly worried about his whereabouts: “I’m losing all hope that he’s even still alive” — and “I’m thankful that our last words were ‘I love you.’ ” But just before sending that message, she texted Roy: “Let me know when you’re gonna do it.” Police say Carter never called 911 and instead continued texting her friends, feigning concern. After Roy’s death, police say Carter exchanged emails with Roy’s mother, Lynn, trying to comfort and reassure her: “I tried talking him out of it so many times,” Carter wrote, “and telling him how we could always be together and he wanted that but he thought he would never truly be happy with himself.” She even organized a baseball fundraiser called “Homers for Conrad” that pulled in more than $2,300 for the National Alliance on Mental Illness. No one answered the phone at Carter’s Plainville home yesterday. But her lawyer, Joseph Cataldo, told the Herald, “It’s a sad story but what we have is a young man who made a voluntary decision to take his own life — it was his voluntary decision — his death was not caused by Michelle Carter. “It is a slippery slope if the government is now going to prosecute people under a manslaughter — a 20-year felony charge — for not preventing those who want to commit suicide and that’s what they’re trying to do here,” Cataldo said. Roy’s distraught grandparents called the tale “bizarre” and “mind-boggling” and said they were “shocked” when they heard about Carter’s emails and texts. “It was just horrible to live this all over again and to find out how this came about. I mean, we knew he was suffering from depression, but we thought he was getting over it all,” Janice Roy, his grandmother, said in her Mattapoisett home. Asked if they thought Carter’s messages convinced Roy to kill himself, his grandfather Conrad Roy Sr. said, “Her texts had a big influence on what happened.” Added Janice Roy: It’s hard to say why, but after reading the reports ... I don’t think he would have done anything at that time.” Both remembered a happy grandson who loved baseball and rowing and was ecstatic when he earned his captain’s license, following in both his father and grandfather’s footsteps. Conrad Roy Sr. said he took him out on his tug boat when “C3” was just 3-days-old. “That was like the start of the third generation when he got his captain’s license,” Roy said. “That was like the most heart-warming thing that I could remember.”

With the first Saturn return, a person leaves youth behind and enters adulthood. With the second return, maturity. And with the third and usually final return, a person enters wise old age. These periods are estimated to occur at roughly the ages of 28-31, 56-60 and 84-90. A fourth return occurs for only a few people, at age 114-118. I am in the first stage right now. People keep telling me that the growing pains are caused by saturn returns. Is this true for anyone here? Is it the planets or just a natural progression?

A girl whose fake rejection letter from Harvard, in which the institution advises her not to send animal noise mixtapes with future applications, is now worried that her viral joke will ruin her chances with the Ivy League university. Molly McGaan’s friend @hawntr tweeted her spoof letter two days ago. In that time it has been retweeted over 61,000 times and exploded across Reddit. In the satirical piece printer on the university’s letterhead, Harvard says it is unable to accept Ms McGaan, 18, regardless of her proficiency in “dank memes” and her level of “$wagg moneyyyy”. It reads: “For future reference, it is not wise to start an essay with the words, “listen here u little slanks” and end with “McGaan out *drops mic*. “We also didn’t need a copy of your mixtape, regardless of how “fire” it is (one admissions counsellor listened to it, and we are pretty sure 40 minutes of you making animals noises is not “fire”). But now, McGaan, who attends the Francis W. Parker School in Chicago, has tweeted that she’s worried that Harvard won’t be best pleased with her joke, and has stressed that she penned the letter as a joke for her school’s satirical magazine Citizen Poke.

Just a purely hypothetical question out of curiosity. When I look at Rentboy in my city, I wouldn't have sex w/ some of these guys if they paid me. So, I'm just wondering what you think (I know this thread is useless without pics - but I'll start w/ stats for now). 35 (look about 32) White 6'1 190 (muscular but not ripped at all - muscle/fat) Hairy chest & legs. Back hair lasered. Good looking enough to people who like me...some run, others think I am a 10. BF is obsessed with Matthew Fox & likes me because of how much I look like him (to his eyes). 6.5" dick properly measured (would be 7.5 by gay ruler). Med thick. Versatile I do not give great massages, but I would work on that. I give really good head. My mouth has some unique quality apparently. STD Free (for now) Safe only. No BB clients. No extreme fetishes. Not bi or "gay for pay". True gay. Good education & well-traveled for the small % desiring companionship aside from sex. Low standards. Will sleep with anyone - and can be genuinely into it w/o acting. And, I have a lot of ED pills to facilitate that if necessary. So, hourly - how much? And, what kind of volume do you think I'd get in a big city (think NYC, LA, Chicago).
Bills have been filed in three states to prevent transgender people from using bathrooms consistent with their gender identity. The one in Kentucky targets transgender students. The bills in Texas and Florida apply would everywhere. Between all three, there are various provisions for: 1. Civil and criminal penalties transgender people who use a bathroom 2. Fines, criminal and civil liability for school administrators and business owners who let a transgender person use a bathroom different than their birth sex 3. People who report a transgender people in the bathroom to claim civil damages (i.e. collect a bounty) Understandably, this has caused fear and dismay among transgender people around the country. We all have to use the bathroom, but these laws would seemingly force transgender people to choose between fines and jail, risking horrific violence or leaving the state. While this is theoretically possible, it's also extremely unlikely. Here's what you need to know, and what the probable outcomes are: 1. The bills probably won't pass These bills are considered kind of kooky even for conservatives, who'd much rather be talking about tax cuts, "Religious Freedom," repealing "Obamacare," and "getting government out of people's lives." The Florida and Texas bills haven't even been assigned to committees yet, and may never be heard. Beyond this, the legislators who proposed them in Texas and Florida aren't exactly well regarded even within their own party. The Kentucky bill passed in the state senate, but both the house and governor's office are controlled by Democrats. Americans have 99 problems, and transgender people in bathrooms ain't one of them. Republicans who focus on this will open themselves up to a lot of ridicule, while most of the mainstream ones would rather find issues that are better at pulling in both the base and independents. 2. Even if they do pass, it will be a nightmare... for conservatives If by some weird quirk of fate one of these passes, the storm of lawsuits from everyone involved will be a debacle. Non-transgender people who are accidentally targeted by these laws will be suing. So will transgender people, whose lives are at risk. Business owners will be claiming that the government mandate is unenforceable; how are they supposed to spot check someone's DNA? Police departments will have an unfunded mandate for DNA testing, and it will be a huge test of evidence and privacy laws. People trying to claim bounties will be reporting anyone who looks suspicious, or even turn each other in to file civil suits against business owners for quick cash. Transgender men in women's bathrooms will also quickly make it obvious how ridiculous the bills are. The bearded guy who benches 300 lbs in the ladies room isn't exactly what these lawmakers wanted, but will get anyway. If or when a butch cisgender woman gets arrested and forced to undergo DNA testing, the result would be a media firestorm. If they do pass and get put into effect, the chaos that follows will ensure no one repeats the mistake. 3. They probably won't hold up in court The Department of Labor (DOL) recognizes discrimination against transgender people as sex discrimination under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Some of the most recent case law also finds that restricting bathroom access for transgender workers is a form of sex discrimination. Similarly, the Department of Education recognizes transgender people as being covered by the provisions for sex discrimination under Title IX. These are just the challenges that transgender people would mount under Title VII and IX. There will also probably be the equal protection, privacy, disparate impact, sex stereotyping, animus and enforceability challenges these bills would face from transgender people, people who were falsely accused and business owners affected by the laws. Given the number of vulnerabilities and potential challenges to these laws, many people believe they are unlikely to stand up in court. 4. These are last gasp attempts to hurt LGBT people "No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!" - Otter, Animal House Most people, including conservatives, see the writing on the wall for marriage equality. As a result, they are desperately casting about for some ways to hurt LGBT people legislatively. Recent polls show that the window for singling out transgender people is closing, and the results are acts of desperation. Most of these attempts have involved preempting local non-discrimination ordinances with state law, or expansions of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) to allow people, businesses, churches and religiously affiliated organizations to discriminate against LGBT people on the basis of "sincerely held religious beliefs." Whatever those are. These bathroom bills represent a futile and not particularly well-thought-out side show to where the real point of attack is. Their introduction may be simple grandstanding for the base, fear mongering or sincerely held paranoia, but as public accommodations access becomes settled law these bills will have less and less "pull." People whose greatest fears in life include transgender people in bathrooms will increasingly be seen for what they are, and the rest of us will be able to just get on with our lives.

Final Glee episode pays tribute to Cory Monteith, says Kevin McHale By Harry Fletcher Friday, Feb 20 2015, 12:27pm EST Kevin McHale has spoken about the upcoming Glee finale. The actor revealed that the final episode of the sixth and final series of the Fox show will pay tribute to his former co-star, the late Cory Monteith. Speaking to Access Hollywood, McHale said: "I think [Finn] is always remembered and especially at a time like this at the very end, there will definitely be some sort of mention of him. "He'll be involved in some way." Monteith was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room from a mixed drug toxicity on July 13, 2013, drawing tributes from fans and friends the world over. The actor and his character Finn were honored in Glee's season 5 episode 'The Quarterback', which first aired a few months after Monteith's death. McHale – who plays Artie Abrams on the show – also spoke about the series finale of Glee, saying that he was "happy" with it as a conclusion to the series. "I'm satisfied. I was reading it and the last two episodes are airing back-to-back, so it's kinda this double whammy all at the end," he explained. "I think [viewers will] be happy. I was happy. They tie up a lot of great storylines and you get to see these people in a new light and follow their journey. "These characters have gone through a lot, and I think there's a good payoff at the end."

A lot of DL people think he was too "girly"? But there are so many hot videos that are instant hardons . . .
YouTube sensation and hottie Davey Wavey did the unthinkable — he convinced a straight guy to bottom. In this video, Davey hands said straight guy an industrial bottle of lube and a sex toy. After a few moments of pleasure, he reacts to the experience, "You know I would say it feels pretty good because I'm starting to get hard." At the climax of the clip, he adds that he felt pressure on "this weird magical spot in there that you wouldn't expect to feel good." Watch the clip below!

Her concert tour is so terrible, she's not letting press cover it. [quote]Twin Cities reports that Grande's management has banned music press and photographers from her first arena tour. [quote]The reviewer praises the over the top production and sets but notes that "The problem is, Grande tended to get swallowed up in all the dancers, fog, confetti, lasers and pyro. She allowed her backup vocalists to carry many of the numbers and added her own squeals and shouts over the top." [quote]He concludes by saying that Ariana was just "ok" but didnt really succeed in elevating the energy at the arena: "Speaking of the crowd, they saved some shrieks for Grande, but a certain listlessness set in after the first few songs. By the time Grande wrapped with an encore of "Problem," most of the audience seemed eager to call it a night."

WTF sci fi icons are really in danger this week. Harve Bennett was the writer and producer who saved the movie franchise in the 1980s. He rescued it from the epic bore of the first film, going on to cowrite and produce THE WRATH OF KHAN, THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK and THE VOYAGE HOME. You probably wouldn't have had a NEXT GENERATION or DEEP SPACE NINE if Bennett hadn't made the 80s films immensely popular and compelling. With Han Solo in the hospital, the last week has been pretty devastating for sci fi nerds like myself. Please hold me.

March 3 2015 LONDON (AP) -- Predictions of doom for the Dowager Countess of Grantham may be premature. "Downton Abbey" publicists say Maggie Smith was misinterpreted in remarks widely reported as suggesting she will leave the TV show after its sixth season later this year. Smith told the Sunday Times newspaper that "I can't see how ('Downton') could go on." Speaking of her character, she added: "I mean, I certainly can't keep going. To my knowledge, I must be 110 by now." Milk Publicity said Tuesday that Smith spoke lightheartedly, and "has always been on the record as saying she'll be with the show for as long as the show runs." Producers haven't announced whether the show will have a seventh season. Creator Julian Fellowes is due to script a U.S. period drama, "The Gilded Age."

I want to join one. When I go to the zgym I usually spend most of my time in the weight room. I work out hard and I don't have the time or the patience to deal with the women there. If they're not wandering around aimlessly, they're either sitting on benches (prime real estate) dilly-dallying, yapping with someone, or spending 10 minutes at the water fountain filling up their 90-gallon water bottles. At best they're a nuisance to me. At worst, they interfere with my meticulously timed breaks between sets. Sometimes I can't...I just can't. They have their own frau gyms like Lucille Roberts, yet they insist on going to co-ed gyms. I've resolved myself to the fact that they're not going anywhere anytime soon, so I'd like to join a male-only gym. Are there any around? If the fraus/fraulines can have their own place to work out free of the opposite sex, why can't we.

The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli. The groups did not differ in aggression. Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies. This study examined the relationship between homophobia (defined as self-reported negative affect, avoidance, and aggression toward homosexuals) and homosexual aggression. Self-identified heterosexual college men were assigned to homophobic (n = 26) and nonhomophobic (n = 26) groups on the basis of their scores on the Homophobia Scale (HS; L. W. Wright, H. E. Adams, & J. A. Bernat, 1999). Physical aggression was examined by having participants administer shocks to a fictitious opponent during a competitive reaction time (RT) task under the impression that the study was examining the relationship between sexually explicit material and RT. Participants were exposed to a male homosexual erotic videotape, their affective reactions were assessed, and they then competed in the RT task against either a heterosexual or a homosexual opponent. The homophobic group reported significantly more negative affect, anxiety, and anger-hostility after watching the homosexual erotic videotape than did the nonhomophobic group. Additionally, the homophobic group was significantly more aggressive toward the homosexual opponent, but the groups did not differ in aggression toward the heterosexual opponent. Discuss...

I have to say... the premiere was a bit underwhelming. It seemed awfully "forced" and "contrived". I hope it's just the nature of being a pilot that has to set up so much, and that future episodes are better. I'm still in.

On Starz, and in the great tradition of the groundbreaking show, Spartacus, once again we get another hyper-masculine gay character. This time, he's one of the main protagonists: a gay pirate! There are some hot men on the show who are not afraid to show some peen, the cinematography is stunning, the story is rich and engrossing, and the character development puts Game of Thrones to shame. Love this show! Anyone else watching?

I checked my wifi connection on my phone and noticed I was not connected to my home network. Instead I was connected to a new wifi connection called (xfinity wifi). This is odd since I live in a sparsley populated small town. Turns out that Comcast was using my modem, which I rent from them, as a repeater for their public wifi network. So they charge people $9 to rent the modem then use it to boost their network. That is fucked up. They should offer to waive the rental if you agree to be a repeater. I am taking their modem into the office today. They offered to turn it off the repeater, and they did but I am tired of paying rent to them. Check to see if a new network has cropped up if you use comcast.

Recently watched an interview she gave to the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Wonderful woman, and she's not afraid to look her age. (She looks good). But I get the sense that she's not interested in acting anymore. She's not fond of most current television. She would rather advocate for mental health. But there has to be one real good role out there for her, preferably in a motion picture. Something to give her a second Oscar.

My husband passed away last year. I paid for the funeral and medical. Can I deduct the expenses associated with the funeral and medical? He was on my medical but still my portion of the plan had me paying a large chunk of the emergency room and ICU bill. My healthcare paid for most but the out of pocket expense was still significant. Can I deduct the expense associated with his funeral? I paid for it. He had no assets. It was not an inexpensive endeavor. We did our 2013 taxes last year for the first time filing married filing jointly. State at the time did not recognize our marriage. Also I received a 1099-C (Cancellation of Debt) for a credit card I was not a part of and knew nothing of. Do I have list this?

Were any of you bitches there? The manager Tim was led away in handcuffs. The whores and patrons were ordered to vacate the premises. The cops siezed the cash and supposedly some illegal substances. No, I don't have a link, but they're talking about it on the muscle service boards. A gym acquaintance of mine dances there occasionally. He doesn't dance at the nude events, but he got the scoop from a dancer who was there last night. Wow, is this the end of Adonis, the heir apparent of the Gaeity?
This guy was totally out of control. I was minding my own business in the showers and out of nowhere he approaches me with a raging hard-on and tells me he's seen me swimming in the pool and he's impressed by how fast I go. I try to limit conversation and not lookup. He then says he has an itch on his back and asks if I'll scratch it. I reluctantly scratch in an area he pointed to just below the shoulder blade for about half a second and then he points down to his ass and says scratch there. I pull my hand away and unexpectedly in one quick motion he swoops down on my flaccid penis and starts trying to blow me.I pushed him away and went to get dressed. Turns out his locker is right near mine. He starts up again this time trying to wedge his fingers between my butt checks as I'm drying off and putting on my boxers. I push him away again. Finally, when I leave the building sure enough he's standing out in front leaning on a parking meter starring me down.I make no eye contact with him and head in the opposite direction. Now I'm no prude and yes I've fooled around in the gym before but it's been years. It used to sort of be a cruisy place but that vibe has been gone for ages.I'm no longer into that scene either. I really didn't give this guy any beforehand sign that I play around before he started up. I'm wondering since he's an Arab that maybe he might be closeted or inexperienced and for that reason doesn't understand how the whole gay cruising thing works and just thinks he can go full speed ahead before really scoping out a situation fully. He was average looking. His features, complexion makes me think he comes from the Gulf region (Saudi Arabia for example)The one other time I saw him there was earlier this week when he was with another guy that looked similar to him and might have been a relative. That guy wasn't with him tonight. Weird,huh?
How do they do the quick change with the pink vests in "Turn it Off"? I've seen the show twice and I'm dying for a definitive answer. Are the vests tucked into their pants and then quickly pulled up and over their heads? Do the two dancers who are added to the number in the dark have something to do with it? I can't believe there's time for those two guys to bring out the vests and pass them out during those brief few seconds.
Communism prevents people from becoming really wealthy, which is why capitalists hate it and have forced America into war after war to stop communism. We can't say Cuba was our enemy because Castro was a brutal dictator. The U.S. has supported numerous dictators. The difference is Castro didnt allow American policy to dominate Cuba. So it comes down to it, it's pretty much to communism vs capitalism. America wants the rich to get richer.

Or at least the high bar.\ \ Easily fits into Hollywood fluff like The Gift, The Missing, Bandits, etc, and is usually the best thing in those movies. Also steals the show in Talented Mr Ripely and Paradise Road where she is a minor character.\ \ And she is still in her leading lady phase. We love her.

Cheyenne Jackson says he was NOT having an early midlife crisis
A California man has paid $200 to file a ballot initiative that, if passed, would mandate for all gay people to die by firing squad, rather than risk god's wrath. A Christian activist would like to see all gay people in California executed by firing squad, just so the rest of the citizenry can avoid having to endure God's "wrath." Matthew McLaughlin last week paid $200 to file a ballot initiative with the Attorney General in Sacramento that proposes his Sodomite Suppression Act become law. McLaughlin calls homosexual sex "buggery," and "sodomy," and labels it "a monstrous evil that Almighty God, giver of freedom and liberty, commands us to suppress on pain of our utter destruction even as he overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha [sic]." He says that it's "better" that non-gay Californians kill the gays rather than have to suffer God's punishment. "Seeing that it is better that offenders should die rather than that all of us should be killed by God's just wrath against us for the folly of tolerating-wickedness in our midst, the People of California wisely command, in the fear of God, that any person who willingly touches another person of the same gender for purposes of sexual gratification be put to death by bullets to the head or by any other convenient method." McLaughlin does not state if minors – say, high school students – would be treated as adults and included in the execution mandate. The Sodomite Suppression Act (note it's not the "Sodomy" Suppression Act, a clear indication that it's LGBT people, not just homosexual sex that McLaughlin takes issue with) also calls for a one million dollar fine for each act of transmitting, distributing, or performing "sodomistic propaganda" to minors. And McLaughlin's bill would make it illegal for any gay person to hold public office, be employed by the state, or be granted any benefits, such as welfare, social security, or use any public assets, such as roads. McLaughlin will have to get 365,000 legitimate California residents to sign up to support the Sodomite Suppression Act in order for it to move forward. Wonkette has done its research and says that McLaughlin is likely the same person who in 2004 attempted to get the Bible in curriculum studies in public schools, an effort that would probably have been unconstitutional and cost the state about $200 million.

Unlike every other person who works for the federal government, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thought she was exempt from establishing and using a government e-mail account to conduct federal business. To make matters worse, her aides failed to preserve any of her e-mails (in violation of federal law), thereby destroying federal records. Nobody--not Rush Limbaugh, Newsmax, or FoxNews--fuels the Clinton conspiracy machine more than Bill and Hillary Clinton. The latter will continue to have her cheerleaders who want her to run in 2016. However, I expect her political career to die a death from 1,000 cuts when all is said and done (with the Clinton Global Initiative rendering the most damage.)

I've heard they have camera tricks to make the dicks look much bigger than in reality. In light of the recent penis measurement report, I took a look at a few scenes. The guys look big but when you look at them in relation to the mouths that are taking them or hands around them, they appear relatively normal. No one's mouth is being stretched by any degree and the hands fit easily all the way around. Take a look. Of course it's porn so there are exceptions, but just take a few random scenes and see what you think.

A majority of Republicans nationally support establishing Christianity as the national religion, according to a new Public Policy Polling survey released Tuesday. The poll by the Democratic-leaning firm found that 57 percent of Republicans "support establishing Christianity as the national religion" while 30 percent are opposed. Another 13 percent said they were not sure. It almost goes without saying that the Establishment Clause of the Constitution prohibits establishing of a national religion. The poll was conducted among 316 Republicans from Feb. 20-22. The margin of error was plus or minus 5.5 percentage points.

For years, amateur bodybuilder Mike Hoffman has been tempting fans with NSFW muscle flexing YouTube videos and half-naked pictures on Tumblr. But, the Texas-based Hoffman finally crossed the line into X-rated territory. He showed off the family jewels and then some in a video that went viral on Tumblr. We’d go into detail about what he does, but so long as you’re not at work or in public, we think it’s better if you sample the goods for yourself. We promise, it doesn’t disappoint. And, if you aren’t in a place to enjoy the video just yet, check out some pics of Hoffman wearing slightly more clothing. Since the video went viral, Mike created a video stating "Most of you know me by now. I just want to say I know there are videos going around of me. I wanted to say a few things. I'm not gay. Those videos I can understand making me look that way — and I respect gay people completely — but, I'm not gay. I'm straight."

Man burned while praying over 'sizzling' Applebee's fajitas cannot sue, says court Hiram Jimenez sustained burns in 2010 after hearing a loud sizzling noise and proceeded to knock the plate into his lap and injure himself pushing at the table Lauren Gambino; Thursday 5 March 2015 13.18 EST A man who burned himself while bowing his head in prayer over a sizzling skillet of steak fajitas at a New Jersey Applebee’s cannot sue for damages because the danger was “obvious”, a state appellate court ruled on Wednesday. Hiram Jimenez sought to sue Applebee’s Neighborhood Bar and Grill after a 2010 incident at the chain restaurant’s Westampton location, when “he came in contact with a dangerous and hazardous condition, specifically, ‘a plate of hot food’,” according to court records. On 4 March 2010, Jimenez met his brother at the restaurant and ordered a steak fajita skillet. The waitress brought Jimenez the dish, which he described in court records as “real dark”, “smoking, sizzling” and “real hot”. He claimed she told him to “enjoy his meal” without warning him of the dangers that sizzled below. Before diving into the piping hot plate of steak and peppers, Jimenez bowed his head “close to the table” to pray. He then heard a loud, sizzling noise, followed by a “pop noise”, and felt a burning sensation in his left eye and on his face, according to court records. He then described panicking, knocking the burning plate onto his lap, causing his perspective glasses to fall from his face. Finding himself unable to see properly, he said he tried to push the table away with his right arm and brush the burning food off his lap with the other. In the kerfuffle, Jimenez banged his elbow on the table said he soon felt that he had “pulled something in his right arm”. He immediately stopped pushing the table, he said, because he “felt pain”. His brother called for help, and some employees came to assist. A manager eventually provided an incident report to the brothers, on which Jimenez wrote that a “hot dish ... burned me after grease popped causing several burns to face, neck, and arms”. Jimenez sued the chain in state superior court, claiming he suffered serious injury as a result of the restaurant’s negligence. None of the burns left scars, according to court records. The case was dismissed by a lower court that found the danger posed by Jimenez placing his face near a sizzling skillet was “open and obvious”. On Wednesday, five years to the day after the incident, a two-judge appeals panel settled the matter, agreeing with the lower court’s findings. The panel wrote in the ruling that the waitress was not responsible for warning the guest that “the food was sizzling hot and should be approached with due care”. “Here, the danger posed by a plate of sizzling hot food was self-evident.”

But when the 72-year-old actor's single-engine plane plowed scars into the earth Thursday, it looked like a close call, if not for Ford, then at least for residents living some 50 yards away. Buzzing under the ever blue skies off a California beach, the World War II era training machine began losing power briefly after takeoff. Jens Lucking lives near the crash site and heard Ford's distressed engine. "When he was right by the house, the engine cut out and then he turned around," he said. The experienced pilot called in an emergency to Santa Monica airport and steered the sinking craft toward the runway. Sinking fast He may have made the best decision when the propeller puttered out, National Transportation and Safety Board spokesman Patrick Jones said. Especially, if he was at a high enough altitude for the plane to glide a longer distance. It also may have been his only option. But that is yet to be determined, Jones said. And such investigations can take months. Air traffic control gave Ford permission to land, but the plane fell short of the runway. It brushed a treetop then dropped and raked across the Penmar Golf Course right across from the airport, Jones said. It came to a halt feet away from a street. Ford was the only person on board. The bright yellow and silver 1942 Ryan Aeronautical ST3KR with the number 50 on the side has become one of Ford's trademarks, as paparazzi have snapped him taking off in its open air dual cockpit. It lay sprawled flat with its red nose bent down into the ground. Conjuring film image An emergency team arrived, cared for the pilot and took him off on a stretcher in an ambulance to a hospital. He was alert and conscious at the crash site, a fire official said. Authorities would not identify Ford as the pilot and crash victim, but his publicist and son did. "The injuries sustained are not life threatening, and he is expected to make a full recovery," Ford's publicist Ina Treciokas said. With Ford at the controls, it's hard not to juxtapose upon him the fear-naught characters he has embodied, such as Hans Solo who regularly edged past mortal danger in a barely airworthy "vintage" Millennium Falcon in the distant future setting of "Star Wars." The actor's son, Ben Ford, alluded to it in a tweet to reassure fans: "Dad is ok. Battered, but ok! He is every bit the man you would think he is. He is an incredibly strong man." Solo's cinematic co-pilot Chewbacca was played by Peter Mayhew, who tweeted best wishes to Ford, "Here's hoping my buddy comes away with just another scar to match his crooked smile. Speedy Recovery Harrison!" Dousing mystique But Jones poured water on any mystique. Anyone coming away from any crash of any kind is lucky. But bringing a plane down successfully and without serious injury is not superhuman for any experienced pilot, NTSB investigator Jones said. It's the norm. And "this pilot is an experienced pilot." Annually, about 2,000 planes crash, Jones said. "It is unusual for pilots to lose their lives." Tom Haines, also a pilot, has flown with Ford before and praised his skill. "He's a very skilled pilot. He's very safety-conscious and goes to training routinely for all of his aircraft," Haines said. But this wasn't Ford's first air mishap. In 1999, he made a hard emergency landing in a California riverbed while flying in a helicopter with a flight instructor. And in 2000, he reportedly slid off the runway while landing a plane in Lincoln, Nebraska. Expert: Dangerous plane The crash probably has less to do with the pilot and more with the plane, said CNN aviation analyst Mary Schiavo. The older the plane, the more likely it is to crash, she said. "As the years go on, they get a lot more dangerous." "They need very special care," and aviation laws proscribe their flying parameters. "You have to follow a special aging aircraft protocol," Schiavo said.

Dick Kallman was an actor in movies and television in the late 50s and 60s.He was also an accomplished singer who recorded an album of standards for EMI in London, when he was accompanied by orchestras conducted by John Barry and Ennio Morricone. In 1975, he joined a partnership to manufacture women's play clothes and party clothes and also began working as a dealer in antiques, silver, and art. Richard Kallman was also a gay man. On February 22, 1980 Richard and his partner Stephen Szladek were murdered in Kallman's Manhattan apartment by three men who gained entrance and stole a lot of valuable art, antiques, and jewelry. It was a well planned and executed heist and it took over a year before the three were caught and even longer for them to be tried, convicted, and given lengthy prison sentances. 27-year-old Charles Lonnie Grosso of Queens was convicted of the killings and was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. None of the paintings, jewelry, and antiques stolen from the apartment were ever recovered.

Nasa finds evidence of a vast ancient ocean on Mars A huge primitive ocean covered one-fifth of the red planet’s surface, making it warm, wet and ideal for alien life to gain a foothold, scientists say Ian Sample, science editor; Thursday 5 March 2015 19.00 GMT A massive ancient ocean once covered nearly half of the northern hemisphere of Mars making the planet a more promising place for alien life to have gained a foothold, Nasa scientists say. The huge body of water spread over a fifth of the planet’s surface, as great a portion as the Atlantic covers the Earth, and was a mile deep in places. In total, the ocean held 20 million cubic kilometres of water, or more than is found in the Arctic Ocean, the researchers found. Unveiled by Nasa on Thursday, the compelling evidence for the primitive ocean adds to an emerging picture of Mars as a warm and wet world in its youth, which trickled with streams, winding river deltas, and long-standing lakes, soon after it formed 4.5bn years ago. The view of the planet’s ancient history radically re-writes what many scientists believed only a decade ago. Back then, flowing water was widely considered to have been a more erratic presence on Mars, gushing forth only rarely, and never forming long-standing seas and oceans. “A major question has been how much water did Mars actually have when it was young and how did it lose that water?” said Michael Mumma, a senior scientist at Nasa Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. Writing in the journal, Science, the Nasa team, and others at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Munich, provide an answer after studying Mars with three of the most powerful infra-red telescopes in the world. The scientists used the Keck II telescope and Nasa’s Infrared Telescope Facility, both in Hawaii, and the ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, to make maps of the Martian atmosphere over six years. They looked specifically at how different forms of water molecules in the Martian air varied from place to place over the changing seasons. Martian water, like that on Earth, contains standard water molecules, made from two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, and another form of water made with a heavy isotope of hydrogen called deuterium. On Mars, water containing normal hydrogen is lost to space over time, but the heavier form is left behind. When normal water is lost on Mars, the concentration of deuterium in water left behind goes up. The process can be used to infer how much water there used to be on the planet. The higher the concentration of deuterium, the more water has been lost. The infrared maps show that water near the Martian ice caps is enriched with deuterium. The high concentration means that Mars must have lost a vast amount of water in the past, equivalent to more than six times that now locked up in the planet’s frozen ice caps. The scientists calculate that the amount of water was enough to create a global ocean that covered the entire surface of Mars to a depth of 137m. But Mars was probably never completely submerged. Based on the Martian terrain today, the scientists believe the water pooled into a much deeper ocean in the low-lying northern plains, creating an ocean that covered nearly a fifth of the planet’s surface. The Atlantic, by comparison, covers about 17% of Earth’s surface. “Ultimately we can conclude this idea of an ocean covering 20% of the planet which opens the idea of habitability and the evolution of life on the planet,” said Geronimo Villanueva, the first author on the study. The huge body of water lasted for millions of years. But over time, the Martian atmosphere thinned. The drop in pressure meant more ocean water wafted into space. The planet lost much of its insulation too. No longer warm enough to keep the water liquid, the ocean receded and eventually froze. Today, only 13% of the ocean remains, locked up the Martian polar caps. “We now know Mars was wet for a much longer time than we thought before,” said Mumma. Nasa’s Curiosity rover has already shown that Mars had standing water for 1.5 billion years, longer than it took for life to emerge on Earth. “Now we see that Mars must have been wet for a period even longer,” Mumma added. John Bridges, a planetary scientist at Leicester University, who works on Nasa’s Curiosity rover mission, said Mars was surely at least habitable in the distant past. “Ten years ago, the story of water on Mars was an occasional flood of rocky debris every 100m years that then switched off again. We now know it’s more continuous. There were long-standing bodies of water: lakes, deltas and perhaps even seas,” he said. “It seems to me that we have excellent evidence that Mars was once habitable, though whether it was ever inhabited is not clear. But there’s a chance. A life-bearing meteorite might have been ejected from Earth and could have landed in the water on Mars,” he added. The search for life on Mars will ramp up in 2018 when the European Space Agency sends its Exomars rover to the red planet. The rover will look for chemical signatures of life, perhaps emanating from microbes living deep beneath the Martian soil. Last year, Nasa’s Curiosity rover detected methane in the Martian atmosphere. The finding sparked intense speculation that the gas might be coming from living organisms. It might, but there is no evidence to suggest it is. Methane is regularly produced on planets through geological processes without any need for life. Charles Cockell, professor of astrobiology at Edinburgh University, said: “The longer water persists on a planetary body in one location, particularly if there is geological turnover, the more likely it is that it would provide a habitable environment for a suitable duration for life to either originate or proliferate. An ocean would meet this need.” That life was possible does not make it inevitable though. “Of course, it could have been uninhabited,” he added.
It''ll be happening to me this weekend. My bf of three months and I are going to a B&B in the Berkshires to consummate our relationship. I''m 23 and have never topped or bottomed before. I''ll be bottoming this weekend. We decided that at my age it was time to give up my virginity. I''m crazy in love with him, so this is a natual progression. He''s got a very large penis. We''ve done tons of oral, and I''ve had trouble getting my mouth around it it''s so thick. I''m worried about it hurting like hell when he penetrates me. I''ll be all douched and lubed up to accept him, but I''m scared it''ll just be too much. I''m not THAT tight. I use rather large dildos regularly, so although it''s not the Holland Tunnel back there LOL, it''s wide enough. I hope! Should I expect a lot of pain during and after the "event."

(Bloomberg) -- New York will become the largest U.S. school district to close in observance of the Muslim holy days of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, Mayor Bill de Blasio said. The mayor announced the policy Wednesday at a Brooklyn public school where 36 percent of its students were absent the last time Eid al-Adha occurred on an instructional day. The program will begin in the school year that starts in September. “This is about respect for one of the great faiths of this Earth,” said de Blasio, a 53-year-old Democrat. In past years, “either the child went and pursued his education and missed his religious observance or the other way around. That is the kind of choice that was wrong to have to make for these families.” The move fulfilled a promise de Blasio made to the Muslim community during the 2013 campaign that made him the first Democrat to run City Hall in 20 years. Eid al-Adha, which will be observed Sept. 24 this year, commemorates Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son for God. Eid al-Fitr, which will occur in July 2016, marks the end of the holy month of fasting known as Ramadan. Muslim students accounted for 12 percent of the 1.1 million youngsters in the largest U.S. school system, according to a 2008 report prepared for the Coalition for Muslim School Holidays in cooperation with Columbia University Teachers College. Celebrating Diversity Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina, who joined de Blasio for the announcement, said the day off would be used for teacher training and as a “teachable moment” to educate students of all faiths on the meaning of the holidays. “The more we celebrate diversity, the better we are as a city,” Farina said. Brooklyn resident Ahmed Ali, 32, who participates in social and networking groups for Muslims, said he was pleased the city chose a move that helped children. “It’s good for the kids, it’s a good step toward unity,” said Ali, who has two children in public school. “We already have a good relationship with the city, but this is better; it’s an improvement.” New York joins districts in Vermont, Massachusetts and New Jersey that close schools to observe the Muslim holidays, the mayor’s office said in a news release. In the past, the city has closed schools on Jewish holidays including Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Passover.

Bob Barker has made a public statement against the moving of two elephants from Seattle to the Oklahoma City Zoo. The decision to move the elephants there was made because the OKC Zoo is ranked as the top 3rd zoo in that nation and has an ideal elephant program that would allow the elephants to be part of an actual herd. However, Bob Barker claims the idea is horrible because Oklahoma has cold winters and suffers tornadoes in the Spring. Bob Barker actually used the word "dreadful" to describe his opinion of the moving of the elephants. Experts have already weighed in and say that Barker is ignorant and that OKC is the best choice for the pair.

Texas guitarist and singer Bobby Fuller had barely found his way into the national limelight in 1966, with his group’s soon-to-be-classic reworking of a song first recorded by Buddy Holly's band the Crickets, when he died mysteriously of asphyxiation in Los Angeles. He was 23. It has remained one of rock’s strangest deaths — Fuller’s body was found in a parked car, apparently beaten and doused in gasoline — one that’s explored in a new book that takes its title from his biggest hit, “I Fought The Law: The Life and Strange Death of Bobby Fuller” (Kicks Books, $19.95). The book is a collaboration between Fuller’s brother and bandmate, Randy Fuller, and Miriam Linna, the indie rock drummer who also has been running Brooklyn-based Norton Records with her husband Billy Miller for nearly 30 years. The death was ruled a suicide, but Randy Fuller and many people who knew Bobby never bought that story. There have been numerous theories over the years, some involving the mob, but few agree with the suicide idea. This story leaves out some important information like where was the crime scene and who was the last person seen him alive. In the book, Fuller and Linna point out a coincidence that may be a contributing factor to the case: Longtime L.A. police Chief William H. Parker died of a heart attack two nights before Fuller’s body was found July 18, 1966, and in the hectic transitional period that followed, the investigation of Fuller’s death wasn’t considered a top priority.

This is one of Anthony Recker's teammates: Sandy Alderson invited Billy Bean, MLB’s ambassador of inclusion, to Mets camp Tuesday, during which Bean told his story of how he hid his homosexuality during his eight-year, big-league career. “I disagree with his lifestyle,” Daniel Murphy later told reporter Mike Vorkunov (NJ.com, Mar. 3). “I do disagree with the fact that Billy is a homosexual. That doesn’t mean I can’t still invest in him and get to know him. I don’t think the fact that someone is a homosexual should completely shut the door on investing in them in a relational aspect. … That’s the way I would describe it for me. It’s the same way that there are aspects of my life that I’m trying to surrender to Christ in my own life. There’s a great deal of many things, like my pride. I just think that as a believer trying to articulate it in a way that says just because I disagree with the lifestyle doesn’t mean I’m just never going to speak to Billy Bean every time he walks through the door. That’s not love. That’s not love at all.” Bean announced he was gay in 1999, four years after retiring from MLB. “I’m not here to change anybody or tell them that they’re wrong,” Bean told reporters earlier today. “This is our country. We’re allowed to be who and what we want. I think the important thing is understanding the big picture — that if you are a player on the Mets or in a big-league uniform, there’s a huge responsibility that goes with that. And I think they can understand that regardless of what their personal opinion is of me. I can’t be everybody’s best friend.”

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a series of landmark same-sex marriage cases on April 28, the court announced Thursday. In January, the nation’s highest court agreed to consolidate four cases challenging same-sex marriage bans in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee and address two questions presented by the cases: Does the Fourteenth Amendment require a state to license a marriage between two people of the same sex? Does the Fourteenth Amendment require a state to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-state? Oral arguments will begin at 10 a.m. on April 28 and allot a total of 90 minutes to the first question and one hour to the second question. The court will post the audio recording and unofficial transcript of the oral arguments no later than 2 p.m. that same day. The Supreme Court’s decision to take up the cases came after a 2-1 decision handed down Nov. 6 by the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals that upheld same-sex marriages bans in the four states, breaking with other federal appeals courts that have considered the issue and creating a split among the circuit courts. A decision by the court on marriage equality is expected by the end of June.

I guess I'm late to the party. I'd always heard good things about this show, and I like Elmore Leonard, so this week I sat down and watched the entire first season on Amazon Prime streaming. I must say I enjoyed it. It was not at all what I expected, however. I thought it would be all about catching moonshiners in the woods, but there was hardly anything about that-- and one episode was even set in California. I find it odd that they based it on a short story--did the story just provide the basic characters? It took me a while to figure out the Crowders, since so many of them had similar names: Bo, Bowman, Boyd. I'm ready for Seasons 2, 3, and 4. What am I in for? (No spoilers, please!)
Will this win her an Emmy?
Mo'nique claims that she now knows why the offers didn't start flooding in after her big Oscar win in 2010. The former star of The Parkers, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as the title character's abusive, domineering mother in Precious, writes in an essay in the Feb. 27 issue of The Hollywood Reporter that director-producer Lee Daniels clued her in just a few months ago. Noting that an Oscar win "normally does" lead to "more respect, choices, money" in the business, Mo'Nique writes, "But I got a phone call from Lee Daniels...And he said to me, 'Mo'Nique, you've been blackballed.' I said, 'Why?' And he said, 'Because you didn't play the game.'" After steamrolling the competition throughout the 2009-10 awards season, Mo'Nique famously didn't campaign for her Oscar, going on to say in her acceptance speech that she was grateful to the Academy "for showing that it can be about the performance and not the politics." "I said, 'Well, what game is that?'" her THR piece continues. "He gave me no response." People who would say that she's "difficult," "tactless" or "tacky" would "probably be right," the actress writes. "That's why I have my beautiful husband because he's so full of tact. I'm just a girl from Baltimore. But being from that place, you learn not to let anybody take advantage of you." Since co-starring in Precious with Gabourey Sidibe, Lenny Kravitz and an unrecognizable Mariah Carey, the 47-year-old actress only has a few credits to her name, none of them major theatrical releases. Mo'Nique also writes that she was offered the role of Forest Whitaker's wife in Lee Daniels' The Butler, a part that ultimately went to Oprah Winfrey; a role in the Daniels-produced Fox hit Empire; and the role of Richard Pryor's grandmother [also now set to be played by Oprah] in the upcoming biopic Daniels is working on—but, she adds, "they all just went away." In response to Mo'Nique, Daniels said in a statement to THR: "Mo'Nique is a creative force to be reckoned with. Her demands through Precious were not always in line with the campaign.

Been doing some online reading about meth -- a family member is currently in rehab for meth addiction. Trust me, I have no plans to now or ever try it (meth, sex on meth, or any of it), but I''m struck by the number of references to sex while high.%0D\ %0D\ I know some of you guys have done it, so is it really that much better? Or at least, that much better for a while? Does your body just become focused on the physical sensations, or what? Orgasms more intense? What?

February 22, 2015 ● by Dan Avery Put Gaga in Funny Girl! Put Gaga in Gypsy! Put Gaga in Hedwig! Viewers of the 2015 Academy Awards were left speechless by Lady Gaga, whose performance of a medley from The Sound of Music honored the film’s 50th anniversary and had us all choked up. Us and Julie Andrews, who hugged and thanked Gaga for the beautiful performance and introduced the nominees for Best Score. If this angelic performance and her duets album with Tony Bennett is a sign of Gaga’s latest incarnation, we’re all for it.

Rudy Giuliani wants a little love, but most likely just some attention, from the president of the United States of America. The former New York City mayor reportedly said Wednesday night at a fundraiser for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) that Barack Obama "doesn't love" America. “I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America,” Giuliani reportedly said during a private dinner in New York. “He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country.” His remarks, recorded by Politico, were also heard by "60 right-leaning business executives and conservative media types" gathered to fete the potential 2016 presidential candidate. Giuliani added that, “with all our flaws we’re the most exceptional country in the world. I’m looking for a presidential candidate who can express that, do that and carry it out.” “And if it’s you Scott, I’ll endorse you,” he said. “And if it’s somebody else, I’ll support somebody else.” A spokesperson for the Wisconsin governor did not immediately return a request for comment. The former mayor doubled down on his remarks in an interview with "Fox & Friends" Thursday morning. “Well first of all, I’m not questioning his patriotism. He’s a patriot, I’m sure,” he said. “What I’m saying is, in his rhetoric, I very rarely hear the things that I used to hear Ronald Reagan say, the things that I used to hear Bill Clinton say about how much he loves America.” What set Giuliani off, apparently, was Obama's refusal to associate violent extremism and groups like the Islamic State, also referred to as ISIS or ISIL, with Islam. The president addressed the criticism Wednesday night by explaining he doesn't use the phrase "radical Islam" because the term grants terrorists a religious legitimacy they don't deserve. But that wasn't enough for the outspoken mayor.

Watching this odd movie. It's getting interesting. Free on Amazon Prime in case someone needs something to watch.
Her last album "MDNA" bombed, selling only 1.8 million worldwide, the worst-selling album of her career. They gave the album away with tour tickets and perfume too. The album's three singles all flopped. The first single, a critical disaster, "Give Me All Your Luvin'" got to #10 on the charts thanks to Live Nation paying for airplay. It still only got to #10 even after the Super Bowl promotion, and giving the single away with pre-orders. The next two singles bombed, even in places like the UK, one of her most dedicated markets. "Give Me All Your Luvin'" charted at #37, "Girl Gone Wild," "MDNA"'s second single, charted at #73, and the third and last single "Turn Up The Radio" chart at #175. It didn't even chart in the US. Then there was horrible film "W.E." in 2012, which cost $29 million to make, and only made $868,439 at the box office. Does she understand that she's musically irrelevant now? Should she just stick to performing "Greatest Hits" tours? I'm betting she lives in a bubble with a whole load of Yes Men. Her last tour didn't pull in the same amount of $$$ as the previous one, although it didn't remarkably well. Why? She's still having to sing "Vogue" and "Like A Virgin". Her personal life is a disaster as well - all the plastic surgery, 20-year-old bought and paid for boyfriends, etc. Then she's still in that freaky cult. Oh, let's not forget her taking her tits and showing her ass and vagina at 54, she trying to prove that she's hot and trying to shock people. Do you think she can accept simply being a touring artist, a nostalgia act? That's all she has now. Her directing career, which she was aiming for, is never going to happen. We're seeing and discussing child stars and over-the-hill celebs in crisis non-stop today. I imagine Madonna's going to be added to the list.
Just you watch..
Thanks to this fucked up, entitled lesbian for giving the Pat Robertson's of this world more ammunition. Can you imagine a gay man saying this shit and getting away with it? I live in the liberal bubble of Park Slope, Brooklyn, where no yuppie would ever admit to wanting their kid to be anything in particular, other than happy. But more often than not, we define happiness as some variation on our own lives, or at least the lives of our expectations. If we went to college, we want our kids to go to college. If we like sports, we want our kids to like sports. If we vote Democrat, of course we want our kids to vote Democrat. I’m gay. And I want my kid to be gay, too. Many of my straight friends, even the most liberal, see this logic as warped. It’s one thing for them to admit that they would prefer their kids to be straight, something they’ll only begrudgingly confess. But wanting my daughter to be a lesbian? I might as well say I want her to grow up to be lactose intolerant. “Don’t you want her to be happy?” one friend asked. Perhaps he just meant that it’s easier to be straight in a homophobic culture. But this attitude complies with, even reinforces, that culture in the first place. A less-charitable interpretation is that he thinks being straight is superior. When I was a teenager, my father cautioned me against marrying a black person. “I’m just trying to protect you,” he said. But it was impossible to know whether he meant to insulate me from the world’s bias or implicitly rationalize his own. The idea that no one would choose to be gay is widely held — even in the gay rights movement. In the early ’90s, partly as a response to the destructive notion that gay people could be changed, activists pressed the idea of sexuality as a fixed, innate state. Scientists even tried to prove that there’s a “gay gene.” These concepts about sexual orientation helped justify the case for legal protections. The idea that folks are “born gay” became not only the theme of a Lady Gaga song, but the implicit rationale for gay rights. “I wouldn’t even choose for myself to be gay,” a friend once told me. It was a sad admission, because she was. Once upon a time, of course, “gay” meant “happy.” But eventually, the synonyms grew apart. Gay became an unfortunate, even pitiable status. When the gay liberation activist Franklin Kameny launched a simple effort in 1968 to proclaim that “gay is good,” it was because, at the time, it very much wasn’t. Until 1973, the American Psychological Association considered homosexuality a form of mental illness. And while gay-positive culture has flourished since, our aspirations haven’t kept pace. It’s more widely acceptable to be gay in America today, but that’s not the same as being desirable. In my house, though, it is. Here you might expect me to say something about how, if my daughter were gay, she would undoubtedly face challenges and hurdles she wouldn’t encounter if she were straight. Maybe. And maybe if I weren’t an upper-middle-class white lesbian living in a liberal city, I’d have such worries. But no matter what, I’d want my child to be herself. If I lived in, say, North Carolina, with an adopted son from Morocco, I’d like to think I would encourage him to be Muslim, if that’s what he chose. I’d do this even though his life would probably be easier if he didn’t. It’s also easier to succeed as a dentist than an artist. But if my daughter wants to be an artist, I’ll encourage her all the way — and work to destroy any barriers along her path, not put them up myself. Plus, I’ve never for a single second regretted being gay, nor saw it as anything other than an asset and a gift. My parents were ridiculously supportive from Day One, and I had a great community of friends and mentors who made me feel unconditionally accepted. By the time my daughter comes of age, she’ll have even more of a support network, including two moms, for crying out loud."

Or would a very brief report on how he gets out of all that crap he wears be enough?
Since Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu arrived in the U.S., President Obama’s approval rating has increased by 5 points in the Gallup poll. From February 26-28, President Obama’s approval rating was 44% in the Gallup Daily Tracking Poll. The president’s disapproval rating was 51%. Once Netanyahu’s arrived in the United States, President Obama’s approval rating jumped to 49%, and his disapproval rating fell to 47%. There were signs that the Republican handling of the Netanyahu invitation was not playing well with many Americans. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released yesterday found that by a margin of 48%-30%, registered voters said that John Boehner should have talked to President Obama before inviting Netanyahu. A February 17, CNN poll found overwhelming opposition to the way that Speaker Boehner handled the invitation. Sixty-three percent of respondents felt that it was a bad move for Boehner to invite Netanyahu without giving Obama a head’s up, and only 52% of Republicans supported Boehner not notifying Obama first before inviting Netanyahu. The Netanyahu speech has not worked out the way that Republicans had hoped it would. Speaker Boehner invited Netanyahu as a power play that was designed to get congressional Republicans back on track after a disastrous first few months in the majority. It appears that the speech has done the exact opposite. Instead of making Obama look weak, the Republican behavior has helped to solidify some support behind the president. Bringing in the leader of a foreign country, even one with such broad support as Israel, to attack the President Of The United States doesn’t appear to sit well with many Americans. The intensity of the Republican dislike of this president will always hold down his poll numbers, but the last thing that Republicans expected when they invited Netanyahu to speak is that his presence in the U.S. would boost the president’s popularity. The Netanyahu speech is quickly becoming another Republican attempt to humiliate this president that is blowing up in their faces.
Americans Rally Around The President As Obama Approval Jumps 5 Points Thanks To Netanyahu
Since facts do indeed have a liberal bias, the programming solution was never to prop up a bunch of liberal figureheads. I would have settled for actual news coverage that didn't embrace "the view from nowhere," as media critic Jay Rosen so famously put it. Both sides don't do it, and false equivalence is not journalism. Take a side! Just allow it to be dictated by actual facts, not some hack from a right-wing think tank. Disclose potential conflicts, don't let your news anchors collect fat checks for speaking to groups they're supposed to cover. It's really not as complicated as you think -- unless, of course, the real goal is to push the ownership's corporate agenda: Link: As its afternoon shows hosted by Ronan Farrow and Joy Reid are canceled due to poor ratings, MSNBC is reportedly planning to replace Chris Hayes with Rachel Maddow. It was hardly a surprise Thursday when ratings-challenged MSNBC announced the cancellation of the poor-performing afternoon programs hosted by Ronan Farrow and Joy Reid after less than a year, with veteran news anchor Thomas Roberts stepping in to preside over the two-hour block from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Until a permanent replacement is named for Roberts’s 5:30 a.m. program Way Too Early, the 6 a.m. Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski will temporarily take up the slack by starting a half-hour earlier. But according to knowledgeable sources at the Comcast-owned cable network, Thursday’s moves were only the opening salvo in a wider programming shakeup. In the relatively near term, two well-placed sources predicted to The Daily Beast, Chris Hayes will be relieved of his weak-performing 8 p.m. show All In, to be replaced by the current 9 p.m. host of The Rachel Maddow Show, while a talent search is currently underway to fill the prime-time slot to be vacated by Maddow.An MSNBC spokesperson—who tried put a happy face on the demotions with talk of prime-time specials and “multiplatform” national reporting for the still-employed Farrow and Reid--declined to comment on the Hayes-Maddow scenario. In the longer term, these sources said, the Rev. Al Sharpton—a larger than life personality who attracts a 35 percent African-American audience but continues, after 3½ years of nightly practice, to wrestle with his Teleprompter--could eventually be moved from his weeknight 6 p.m. slot to a weekend time period, as MNSBC President Phil Griffin attempts to reverse significant viewership slides by accentuating straight news over left-leaning opinion. “Everybody in the food chain from top to bottom understands that the Olbermann era is over,” said an MSNBC source, referring to the glory days during George W. Bush’s administration when incendiary liberal Keith Olbermann regularly attracted a million viewers—many of them seeking refuge from White House and Republican talking points.The MSNBC source said, “Going left was a brilliant strategy while it lasted and made hundreds of millions of dollars for Comcast, but now it doesn’t work any more...The goal is to move away from left-wing TV.”

Over the weekend, a man claiming to be an event coordinator asked me if I would compete in a professionally sanctioned bodybuilding competition which would be contested nude, without posing suits and fully-frontal. I’m dubious and I think the idea is far-fetched. (Would it even be legal?) But, after thinking about it a few days, I’d be willing to do it; the newest posing suits are barely hiding everything anyway. If by chance, this opportunity actually came to pass, would those of you who are competitive bodybuilders consider entering the nude contest? I’d be interested in your response.

I could talk in between each song and tell stories, or do some of my stand-up comedy, which I’m actually quite good at. I love it when I see a stand-up comedian have some amazing back-and-forth dealing with a heckler in the audience. I could really have a field day with something like that. I don’t think you understand how funny I am—I mean, maybe not right now, but in general. I do some of my best stand-up comedy during sound checks.

You've heard the evidence before but one can never be too sure – yet another study has shown that adopting a Mediterranean diet is good for your health. Filling up on oily fish, nuts, whole grains and fruit and vegetables – and even the odd glass of red wine – could cut your risk of developing heart disease by almost half over a 10-year period. Scientists at Harokopio University in Athens found that the benefits even outweigh those of regular exercise - and it doesn't matter whether you're a man or a woman, old or young. The study, which will be presented at the American College of Cardiology's 64th Annual Scientific Session in San Diego later this month, reinforces previous research. But it is also the first of its kind, in that it tracked heart disease risk in a general population. Most other studies have focused on middle-aged people. Ekavi Georgousopoulou, a PhD candidate, who conducted the study along with Professor Demosthenes B Panagiotakos, said: "Our study shows that the Mediterranean diet is a beneficial intervention for all types of people - in both genders, in all age groups, and in both healthy people and those with health conditions. "It also reveals that the Mediterranean diet has direct benefits for heart health, in addition to its indirect benefits in managing diabetes, hypertension and inflammation."

Dataloungers, need your help. Back in the early 1990's, my mom came upon a TV psychic on the old-style satellite dish. You know, the big ugly kind that people had on their roofs or yards that you had to point to the specific satellite that you wanted to watch? Anyways, this woman was named Sylvana or Sylvanna. She was on some public access channel based in NYC. She was based in some skyscraper that had what likely was a porn studio as her neighbor. She did tarot readings and astrology. The public access channel may have been called MetroAccess or something similar. Anyone know anything about her or remember this channel?

Today I shopped in five stores for: filing and stationary, toiletries, vitamins and supplements and a few groceries. Each time, the person who served me became progressively more gay. You expect one, or maybe two shop bottoms as you go about your errands on a major city, but four in one morning? The guy in the department store where I got some toiletries was straight acting until the very end of the transaction, then he instructed me to ''enjoy your products and have a LOVELY day!'' By the time I reached the counter of the health food store the assistant almost set my face ablaze with the force of his flames. i guess he picks up the body builders who drop in for those protein powder things. We are legion, in retail.

[quote]The brief conversation about George Clooney in the elevator with Poole was the last of many straws. Here was the managing editor of a publication that had just admitted that it had run a made-up story, calling one of the subjects of that phony story a liar. [quote]It seemed beyond shameless, even by DailyMail.com standards. But it was indicative of the general attitude of the Mail's leadership, with publisher Clarke leading the charge: They weren't angry that they had published a fictitious story; they were angry that they had gotten caught. No changes were made to prevent something like that from happening again and the two women whose bylines appeared on the incorrect story—Hannah Roberts and Sara Nathan—are still working with the Mail, Roberts as a freelancer and Nathan as the publication's "U.S. Showbiz Editor."

We all know this is true. Yes, there's misogynistic gay men, but still, the majority of gays can relate to women more so than to men for some reason. Is it because we grow up gay, and can't really fit in with a society full of straight males, so they look towards the other gender? Is there truth to gay men's brains are more in line with women's? I'm just really curious. It's not bad to somehow have a woman as a role model, but with gay men, it seems overwhelmingly so, more than they can relate to straight men, or men period. Just a sociological question.
I was just reading the thread "being around straight guys terrify me" and the OP of that thread constantly associated being straight with being masculine and being an alpha male; whereas, being gay is about being feminine and shy. To be fair, I did meet one gay guy who was slightly womanly, but the majority of gay men I've met are very manly dominant masculine types. Thoughts?
So, let us all here in DL decide this thing once, and for all. We welcome your thoughts, opinions, and DEFINITELY your pics! Some background to give some color to our discussion: Outside of Western cultures, men's clothing commonly includes skirts and skirt-like garments; however, in North America and much of Europe, the wearing of a skirt is today usually seen as typical for females and not males, the most notable exceptions being the cassock and the kilt. People have variously attempted to promote the wearing of skirts by men in Western culture and to do away with this gender distinction, albeit with limited general success and considerable cultural resistance.

What is up with this guy? He claims to be gay but likes sleeping with women, and only says he's gay because he doesn't wanna marry a woman (for now), and didn't manage to fulfill his dream of getting a girl pregnant as a teenager. He also makes disparaging comments about bottoms as being "too gay", puts down his boyfriend and goes on and on about how great women are. Bisexuals are weird, but self-hating bisexuals are downright crazy.

There is growing body of evidence that gender identity is hard wired into the brain and not simply a matter of psychology, according to a new Boston University School of Medicine study. Writing in the journal Endocrine Practice, the researchers said that as many as one in 100 people could be living with some form of gender identity disorder -- meaning they may identify their gender differently than the one they were born with. For example, actress Laverne Cox was born a man but identifies as a woman. This makes the case for doctors to use surgery and hormone treatment rather than psychotherapy alone to help their patients come to terms with their gender identity, Dr. Joshua Safer, the lead researcher and a professor at BUSM, said. “The paper was a comprehensive review of the scientific evidence that gender identity is a biological phenomenon," Safer explained. "As such it provides one of the most convincing arguments to date for all medical providers to gain the transgender medicine skills necessary to provide good care for these individuals," he added. Nearly 40 percent of medical students they surveyed said they were uncomfortable caring for transgendered patients, and 5 percent of medical students said that the treatment was not part of conventional medicine. After teaching a course that raised the medical student’s awareness about transgender medical need, the students discomfort dropped by 67 percent. Safer and the other authors of the study said they hope to change the perception of transgendered people within the healthcare system so that they get better treatment. But because the study was small, it does have limitations, the researchers said, and there should be additional investigation to focus on the specific biologic mechanisms for gender identity. The ABC News National health team would also like to raise awareness about gender identity and what it means to be transgendered. We’re holding a tweet chat on the topic March 10 at 1 p.m., ET. Dr. Richard Besser, ABC News chief health and medical correspondent will moderate. We’ll be joined by experts, patients and loved ones to talk about the challenges of being transgendered and what that means for overall health and wellbeing.
There this guy at work, who is obviously gay (and is out and comfortably gay) who gets hit on by straight men all the time. Straight guys suck up to him non-stop. I have honestly never witnessed homophobia in action to be honest.
"As it has done for approximately two centuries, Alabama law allows for 'marriage' between only one man and one woman," the court said. "Alabama probate judges have a ministerial duty not to issue any marriage license contrary to this law. Nothing in the United States Constitution alters or overrides this duty."
Still no homo.
WOOF!
Although I definitely support the tradition of clogging the DL front page with threads about a DL fave who has just died, these are actually serious questions I have: 1. In the '70s, how common was it for middle-class suburban families to have a live-in maid/housekeeper? 2. And for those families that had one, how common was it for her to wear a uniform? Just wondering if, at the time "The Brady Bunch" was on, Alice still seemed like a potentially believable element of the family's life, or if that was already experienced by viewers at the time as a total fantasy.
and see what comes up then! HAHAHAHAHA! Brilliant!
Joe Flacco turns me on. I can''t find any shirtless pics, but he has a great body and sexy face. %0D\ %0D\ Who''s your favorite?
She is in no way, shape or form fat. I guess women are now supposed to look like rulers.
[quote] “I think that our show represents a huge opportunity to stay in the culture beyond entertainment value and there’s an intrinsic nature of you have the gay factor, right? So, obviously, Lee is gay. That was an important storyline for him. I think it’s important for people to see themselves. Even within the Black community. But if you aren’t really, really taking it off of screen and making it live you aren’t really, really taking it off of screen and making it live in the community in a significant way…like I know Jussie, he is gay, and he’s very committed to issues around the LGBT community. He and I have a very close relationship.” Meanwhile, Smollet just this weekend said the following [quote]“I am not willing to confirm or deny anything, I live my life…if anyone is looking to put me in a box, then that’s not going to happen."

He's a strange man. People under 30 probably don't realize he was an athlete. Who was his first wife? Why does he wear make-up and earrings? Is Bruce really conflicted about his gender?
Well, duller than usual.
The Immaculate Heart of Mary School, which traditionally sends its marching band to the South Boston route, said on Friday it would withdraw following a decision by the Allied War Veteran's Council, the parade's organizers, to admit a group of gay and lesbian veterans called OutVets to participate. "We can't associate with that," Brother Thomas Dalton, principal of Immaculate Heart of Mary School, said in a phone interview. "It would appear we were condoning it."

We all know the Joker's hair isn't nearly as long and luscious as Jared Leto's. So when he took on the role for David Ayer's Suicide Squad, his ombréd locks inevitably had to go. Ayer teased the big chop on Twitter earlier today, and now he's finally revealed what Leto as the Joker will look like. (Spoiler: a hell of a lot like Jordan Catalano, with even shorter hair!)

They billed him as "the hardest working man in gay porn," and he really was. But when his own pay-per-view ended I lost track of what happened to him. Did he leave the business? he had an amazing body.
KALEY: Well, I dated [co-star Johnny] Galecki, so %E2%80%A6 yeah. We dated for almost two years. It was such a huge part of my life and no one knew about it. WATCH!: How did you keep it under wraps? KALEY: This is the first time I've ever talked about it, ever. It was a wonderful relationship but we never spoke a word about it and never went anywhere together. We were so protective of ourselves and the show and didn%E2%80%99t want anything to ruin that. But that also made it sad, too. That's not the kind of relationship I want-I don%E2%80%99t want to be hiding. We couldn't do anything. It wasn't as fun as we wanted it to be. Everyone was always asking, and we deny-deny-denied. And I'm like, "Why am I denying this person that I love?" It took a little bit of a toll on me and I think it did for him, too. Not that I want to go traipsing down a red carpet with anyone, but there%E2%80%99s got to be a happy medium. WATCH!: Why not just admit it, get it out there? KALEY: That's the way I would have done it. But certain people didn%E2%80%99t want to do it that way, which I understand. We knew how to keep it deep inside and never bring it on that set, ever. WATCH!: When did you two split up? KALEY: We broke up before the holidays and worked that whole time. We dodged a huge bullet. Dodged a war. But when you're dealing with two professionals who have been working since they were both 4-and who kept their lives extremely private- we didn't want anything other than that. So we're not going to screw it up, and were not going to screw it up for everyone else and make things weird. There was so much at stake, and we both knew that. It was really intense. WATCH!: Sounds like it. Have things been awkward on set? KALEY: Moments were really hard, but we have such a love for each other-and we knew we weren%E2%80%99t destined to be together-that we accepted it and said, "Look, if we ever break up, we will be professional." I'm so lucky it was a mutual ending and that we don't hate each other. We've seen that happen on other shows. WATCH!: Do you still talk? KALEY: At the wrap party he gave me a huge hug and I was like, "I'm really proud of us." And he was like, "I know, me too. We didn't kill each other, or kill other people. We made it."
Starts tonight on FX. Be sure to be there. It's your duty. Your country needs you. We Soviets must win this war.

The bad news just keeps coming for CNN. May was the network's worst month for total viewers during primetime in over 20 years. CNN drew an average of just 389,000 primetime viewers from April 30 to May 27. In comparison, MSNBC drew an average of 674,000 total viewers, while Fox News boasted an average of 1,692,000 total viewers. It was also the network's second-worst month in primetime for viewers in the key demographic since October 1991. Things were especially bad at the 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. timeslots. Piers Morgan drew an average of 417,000 total viewers and 117,000 viewers age 25-54 — the lowest numbers the 9 p.m. slot has seen in two decades. Erin Burnett received just 89,000 viewers in the key demo at 7 p.m. The news is the latest development in CNN's worsening ratings struggle. The network had its lowest-rated month in over a decade in April. That prompted management to issue stern warnings about improving numbers. However, the recent dismal results are not surprising, given that the network hit a 20-year primetime low during the week of May 14.

For me, the old Uncle Charlies on Greenwich holds a special place in my heart. It was the first bar I'd ever set foot in back in '92 when I started grad school at NYU. I was pretty much closeted and had never even kissed a guy, but I remember the exhilirating sense of freedom and liberation (I know...MARY!) that I felt for the first time. Addicted to that feeling, I probably went there more than I should have, but it was such an amazing experience. It's where I met the guy with whom I had my first kiss, first date and first same sex encounter. It seems so long ago, but the memories are still vivid. And it was a time before big muscles and shaving every inch of the body were in vogue. Yes, I sound old. I also remember a place called Pieces that I went to a few times. Not sure that's still around. Anyone else care to share their memories?
Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina has apologized for remarks he made about House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's reaction to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress, saying the comments were "a poor attempt at humor." According to a Bloomberg report, Graham said the following of Pelosi at a private fund-raiser after the address: "Did you see Nancy Pelosi on the [House] floor? Complete disgust. If you can get through all the surgeries, there's disgust." Pelosi appeared to be visibly upset during Netanyahu's address. She later released a statement saying "I was near tears throughout the Prime Minister's speech - saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the United States as part of the P5 +1 nations, and saddened by the condescension toward our knowledge of the threat posed by Iran and our broader commitment to preventing nuclear proliferation." Late Tuesday, Graham still called her reaction in the chamber "a bit disturbing," but apologized for his comments. "I made a poor attempt at humor to talk about her reaction and for that I apologize," Graham told NBC News. "[Netanyahu] is not the problem in the mid-east, it's the Iranians, and anyone who wants to focus on the Prime Minister of Israel I think has got their priorities wrong," Graham said.

Some of those Nifty stories have funny misuse of words. I had to laugh at the image when someone wrote: "He pulled my sweatpants down to my knees and started to fondue my bulge in my loose boxer shorts." Ouch! One common error is: "I shuttered when his lips touched mine." There are a lot of Nifty people who shutter.

Does anybody care about her anymore? She was supposed to become a juggernaut in the entertainment industry and instead she is barely mentioned these days. Too many gimmicks, no substance and nowhere to go? Certainly seems like it. What say you DL?
The premise of the show is clearly meant to be ironic: it's 1995 and a naturalized American of Taiwanese origin is moving his also-naturalized Taiwanese wife and American-born kids from DC to Orlando, where he has been away establishing ownership of an 'American-themed' restaurant. There is a whole 'wink,wink' nod to the stereotype of naturalized Chinese people solely opening Chinese restaurants. I get it. Is there such a thing as an 'American-themed' dry-cleaning store? There mine as well be. The son, from whose perspective I expect the rest of the episodes to come, has an "unpronounceable" Asian name and emphatically tells his new teacher and class-mates to "just call me Eddie". Yeah, ok, so he wants to emphasize that he's an American. Point taken. Eddie is a huge fan of hip-hop and wears a Notorious B.I.G T-shirt and hopes to ingratiate himself with a black kid who he meets in the school cafeteria. The black kid immediately rejects Eddie, stating that he doesn't like other kids and that his best friend is 40-years-old. Are we supposed to laugh at the thought that the black kid's friend is a perv? No kid talks like that. At the same time, Eddie doesn't fit in with the white kids at the next table, who call his mom's home-made lunch "worms" (Come on, even white kids could recognize pasta in 1995). Eddie sadly goes back to the weird black kid's table, whose basic message is, "Well, what do expect from (racist) white kids?" Eddie's emasculated father and his over-bearing mother end up in the principal's office to berate the principal over the blossoming friendship between their son and the 40-year-old-loving black kid who is otherwise undefined. American audiences have not seen a major-network TV series centered on an Asian-American family since the days of Margaret Cho's earnest, yet unsuccessful take on her Korean-American roots in "All-American Girl". "Fresh Off the Boat" should head back out to sea and come back with writers who have better ideas of what it means to be Asian in America.

Is there anyone more divine ?
What foreign born B/C-list actor currently on a historically based cable series, has been posting pics on social media of him and his boyfriend? His PR people are obviously encouraging it, because he’s still at the beginning of his career and not at a point where it would be a setback
The ratings will go through the roof even higher. Plus she has the acting and vocal chops. Plus she knows what its like to be part of a fuked up entertainment family.

The role is King Arthur in an upcoming film called "Arthur & Lancelot"...Joel Kinnaman has been cast as Lancelot. Four actors have tested for Arthur: Luke Evans, Toby Kebbell, Kit Harrington and Richard Madden. Evans is gay (though the "openly" part is a source of much controversy); so which one of the other 3 is also openly gay?
I've always found him very attractive when I saw him in films (he was in "Bright Star" and "Enter the Void" among other things), but after seeing him perform with his band on Later with Jools Holland I've become really smitten. He seems quite gay - anyone know if he is?
How the Oscar winners do fall. Sorvino is now starring in the upcoming DO YOU BELIEVE, from the creators of last year's GOD'S NOT DEAD, along with such luminaries as Sean Astin (boy, that LOTR franchise did nothing for his career), Ted McGinley, and Lee Majors. Here's the plot description from IMDB: "A dozen different souls-all moving in different directions, all longing for something more. As their lives unexpectedly intersect, they each are about to discover there is power in the Cross of Christ ... even if they don't yet believe it. When a local pastor is shaken to the core by the visible faith of an old street-corner preacher, he is reminded that true belief always requires action. His response ignites a faith-fueled journey that powerfully impacts everyone it touches in ways that only God could orchestrate."
This was touched on in another thread. The Golden Girls were in their 50s. That's what 50 looked like back then. Old-ish, matronly. Compare that to Julianne Moore and Sandra Bullock today. My grandmother was in her 50s 30 years ago. She looked far older than Julianne Moore or even Rue McClanahan. What's changed? Why is 50 so much younger now?
You know the saying "there's someone for everyone"? Well, it's true. Butch Patrick, 57, who played young Eddie Munster on "The Munsters" TV show in the '60s, is getting married. And not to just anybody. He'll tie the knot with his self-described "biggest fan," with whom he used to correspond when they were kids. News of the impending nuptials sent Web searches on the groom sky high. But not even the surge of interest in all things Butch Patrick (his signature widow's-peak hairdo is particularly popular in the Search box) could match the level of lookups for his betrothed, Donna McCall. Here's the story: When Mr. Patrick starred on "The Munsters," he and Ms. McCall would write back and forth to each other. Donna, it turns out, was a big fan and had a massive crush on the youngest Munster. According to My Fox Philly, years passed and the two fell out of touch. Then, Ms. McCall, now 55, tracked him down on the Internet. The two exchanged phone numbers, talked, and agreed to meet for the first time at "Dracula Con II" in Philadelphia. Next thing you know, they're engaged. Ms. McCall is a former cheerleader with the Philadelphia Eagles, a fact that helped contribute to the booming searches on "donna mccall eagles" and "donna mccall cheerleader." In an article for Philly.com, Mr. Patrick joked that while he does hear from female fans fairly often, not many are cheerleaders. Says the future Mrs. Munster: "My first crush was Butch Patrick. I met him for the first time, but I feel like I've known him forever." McCall accepted Patrick's proposal (of course), and now the two are set to tie the knot. "It's a great love story," says Ms. McCall, a retired pharmacist. "We're very happy together." Congratulations, guys!
WTF did I just watch???!
I love my parents and my brothers and sisters. They're certainly not perfect, and they made A LOT of mistakes while raising us, but I love them to death. I'm going to be so sad when they die. So, do any of you love your parents despite their many flaws? Brothers? Sisters?
When India was a colony of Britain, was it an open sewer like it is today? If yes, how did the English manage to live and raise families there? If you've ever lived in a civilized country, you can never get used to the smell.

Another thread said it was common knowledge in Hollywood.
I refuse to watch any movie this little turd dropping stars in. I used to like Will Smith but now hate him for foisting his crotch fruit upon the population. I don't know what it is exactly that I find so repulsive about Jaden Smith. Maybe the arrogant smirk he always seems to have. Maybe the blatant and unabashed nepotism. Maybe the fact that he's essentially a beard baby for his father. Whatever it is, I get an immediate and violent reaction whenever I see his face on a commercial. I feel the same way for Shia LaBouef.
The world is abuzz with news that actor Laverne Cox has become the first transgender person to appear on the cover of Time magazine. If I understand the current state of the ever-shifting ethic and rhetoric of transgenderism, that is not quite true: Bradley Manning, whom we are expected now to call Chelsea, beat Cox to the punch by some time. Manning’s announcement of his intention to begin living his life as a woman and to undergo so-called sex-reassignment surgery came after Time’s story, but, given that we are expected to defer to all subjective experience in the matter of gender identity, it could not possibly be the case that Manning is a transgendered person today but was not at the time of the Time cover simply because Time was unaware of the fact, unless the issuance of a press release is now a critical step in the evolutionary process. As I wrote at the time of the Manning announcement, Bradley Manning is not a woman. Neither is Laverne Cox.

I get they have to stage it so the fourth wall is broken, but you would think that they would try to match the interior layout as close to the exterior layout picture they show as possible. The placement of the stairs tend to be the worst part. A few shows managed to do a good job of it. Roseanne's first floor was very close to matching its exterior picture, and looked like a realistic lower middle class house to boot.

Have you all seen it? It''s surprisingly good. Robert Irvine is a boot camp-like chef who gives failing restaurants a complete overhaul. One couple in Chapin, SC (near me) operate the Sweet Tea restaurant which is supposed to serve Southern home-cooked food. But everything is from a can or a mix! The green beans were those limp olive green things right out of the can. The graxies were from a mix. The owners and waitresses were dimwits and you could tell the chef offended them and hurt their feelings with his suggestions. %0D\ %0D\ Oh, and the chef is totally hawt, but I can''t tell if he pings so I guess he doesn''t.

Does anyone here ever see this guy? He's on in the mornings here in New York, he dresses and acts like a sketchy used car salesman. He seems to think he's adorably funny, constantly snarks and then looks directly into the camera, he dresses like a Jersey mafia boss and does this weird thing where he bares his teeth when trying to smile. If you've seen him, you know what I'm talking about. It's incredibly weird. He also speaks in a rapid-fire way, like an auctioneer. Worst of all, the man can NOT forecast the weather. Every single week, without fail, he'll predict a "glorious weekend" or talk about how we'll have sun and "MAYBE a few clouds" in the coming weekend.. And every weekend he predicts this, we have clouds and rain 24/7. He seems terrified of actually reporting on what the actual weather for the day will be and fills his weather report with a lot of bullshit jokes and graphics but never just a straight weather forecast for the day. We generally suffer him each morning as we're both getting ready for work. And yes, I realize we can change the channel if we want to, but we like WABC's morning news team, with the exception of this horrible weather guy.
Do we want to eat his ass out?
