The Voice of the Night
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.

HAMILTON! HAMILTON! HAMILTON! Now that that's out of the way, we can get to the real question: will the smash box-office success of 'The Last Five Years' help save 'Honeymoon in Vegas'?
I don't get it? We loved her for years and years. What's just changed?
Seems like he should be gay...just read his bio on imdb and he''s been married since 1995; but then again, he was also a Theater major in college....
I counted them today. I really don't have neighbors (foreclosed homes or sketchy rentals)so that's not a problem. I put out about six bowls of cheap dry food mixed with a couple cans of Nine Lives, twice a day. I realized it costs about $100 a month, and I'm not well-off. I feel so bad for them. They just hang around all day waiting for the next meal. I also put water out for them. Why do I do this?

Anything new with Jonathan? He's been in LA filming Glee then apparently he has no roles until A New Brain at City Center in June. I find him very, very talented as an actor and a singer. That said, I'm not sure if I find him hot or not. He's definitely good looking. No question about that; but I go from "he's hot" to "he's not that hot" on a daily basis. Thoughts? Anything new? Is he hot?
[bold] Maine Weighs Revoking Seat Belt Law Days After 75-Car Pileup [/bold] It's an effort that even the bill's sponsor acknowledges is poor timing. Just two days after a 75-vehicle pileup injured at least 17 people in the state, lawmakers in Maine are considering legislation that would allow adults to opt out of wearing seat belts. Sen. Eric Brakey told lawmakers on Friday that it's too bad they're considering his bill so close to Wednesday's crash on Interstate 95, which is thought to be largest in Maine history but had no fatalities. "It's very unfortunate timing that we're discussing this particular legislation two days after the 75-car pileup that took place on I-95," Brakey said. The Republican from Auburn acknowledged that people should wear seat belts and said he hopes the accident serves as a reminder of the importance to do so. But said he believes the mandate infringes on people's freedom to make personal decisions. "Government exists to protect us from each other, not to protect us from ourselves," Brakey told the Transportation Committee, which also examined measures Friday that seek to crack down on people who talk on their cellphone while driving. Opponents of the seat belt repeal — including the Maine Sheriffs' Association, Maine Chiefs of Police Association, the Maine Medical Association and several trauma surgeons — argued that repealing the law would be a dangerous move that would inevitably lead to more highway deaths. "We're asking people to swap an immediate lethal risk for the threat of a small fine," said David Burke, a surgeon at Eastern Maine Medical Center. "If that helps keep a few dozen per year out of my trauma room, I'll take the governance." If the bill passes, Maine's Bureau of Highway Safety would lose almost $500,000 a year in federal grants that pay for educational programs and child safety seats for low-income families, said Director Lauren Stewart, who also opposes the bill. The federal government encourages states to enact certain highway safety laws by tying some funding to them.

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.
That seems shockingly paltry for "veteran 60 Minutes journalist" of 20 years or so? $1 million of that is the value of an estate in East Hampton. It all sounds very fishy.
What was all this about? Someone on IMDB mentioned it, and everyone still has no idea what the rift was over.
ROSIE O’DONNELL wrecked her marriage when she “went nuts” in a Thanksgiving Day tantrum fueled by booze and drugs! In a blockbuster world exclusive, The National ENQUIRER can reveal the untold story of Rosie’s relationship-ending meltdown, which left terrified wife Michelle Rounds locked in a bathroom and fearing for the safety of both herself and their 2-year-old daughter. Multiple sources have confirmed the shocking incident took place last November at Rosie’s home on Casey Key – north of Sarasota, Fla. – with raging Rosie throwing a holiday tantrum in front of Michelle’s visiting relatives! The dinner disaster began when the former television host announced to several guests that she was planning to divorce Michelle. “Everyone was pretty much floored, after having been invited to Florida for the holiday,” said one insider. “At the meal, Rosie just remained stone silent. It was uncomfortable for everyone.” Finally, Michelle dared to confront Rosie about her talk of ending their marriage. A source said: “Rosie went into a rage. Her screaming was loud enough for everyone to hear.” That’s when Michelle locked herself in the bathroom, as her rampaging wife repeatedly screamed at her: “Where’s the Xanax, b---h?” Said one source: “Michelle knew the marriage was over right then and there. She loved Rosie, but she could no longer live this way. Michelle was scared stiff and spent the night sleeping on a towel, locked in the bathroom!” Meanwhile, Michelle’s embarrassed family was “mortified” by Rosie’s behavior. “She turned the place into a house of horrors!” said an insider. Rosie wasn’t finished ruining the holiday, though – she ended up crashing into one of the family members’ cars! “Rosie had been taking her usual meds and drinking wine all night. She decided she was going to spend the night in a hotel, but left while clearly in a drunken stupor,” said another insider. “Rosie eventually came back to the house, but – either on her way to the hotel, or when she returned – she hit one of the cars belonging to Michelle’s family.” The family then witnessed the same kind of savage mood swing that had characterized the comic’s second stint hosting “The View.” “In a bizarre ending, Rosie acted as if nothing had happened,” explained one insider. “She just mentioned that the whole group would be going on a boating expedition the next day, and instructed someone to make sandwiches for the trip. “Rosie said, ‘Make mine roast beef, but hold the mustard!’ That’s the last thing Michelle’s family heard from her.” They weren’t interested in hearing anything more. “In the morning, the family headed to the airport as fast as they could,” said a source.
Ryan Creed - BuzzFeed Staff - Feb. 27, 2015 Janet Jackson was the leading diva of the late ’80s and early ’90s. She sold over 140 million records in her career. She was the original Beyoncé. But she’s kept a low profile recently. In 2010 she appeared in Tyler Perry’s For Colored Girls, in 2011 she began her Number Ones, Up Close and Personal tour, and then…nothing. She is depriving the world of pure joy by dropping out of the spotlight with her billionaire husband. We need the music! We need the choreography! And most importantly, we need her cleavage back!

Wake, starring Bruce Willis and Ben Kingsley, appears to have run out of funds, less than two weeks into shooting. A new thriller starring Bruce Willis has hit a major snag once cameras had started rolling: the production has had to close down for the time being, less than two weeks into filming. The film is question is Wake, starring Willis and Ben Kingsley, and it's an independent film that was shooting in Cleveland, under the stewardship of director John Pogue. Piper Perabo and Ellen Burstyn are also in the cast. However, in spite of the fact that the shoot was set to continue until mid-April, it's being reported that "funds have dried up," and production has been suspended. A statement from the Greater Cleveland Film Commission said that it was "aware that the film 'Wake' has discontinued filming due to a lack of financing. It is our understanding that they are trying to find the remaining funds to complete the film. So far their experience in Cleveland has been very positive and they hope to return to Cleveland very soon." The statement further says that "we are optimistic we will resume principal photography in approximately 2-3 weeks." Willis had already been on set, and had shot material for Wake. Where this leaves the production, and how it now fits into everybody's schedules, remains to be seen. Here's hoping all concerned can get Wake back up and running shortly...

The superstar has spoken about how she dabbled with drugs and would let her kids try them Madonna has admitted she would let her children try drugs “in moderation”. She confessed that she dabbled with various substances in her younger days but insisted she had not enjoyed the experiences. During the revealing interview for ITV, show host Jonathan Ross said: “Let me ask you about a set of lyrics – in Devil Pray you talk about drugs... ‘we can get high, we can get stoned, we can do Es, we can do acid’. “It’s a comprehensive list. You have tried, I’d have thought, many of them.” Madonna, 56, nodded but said: “I am not a big fan of drugs. They just don’t suit me. “The handful of times I have tried drugs, many many many many years ago, I just didn’t enjoy it. I wanted it out of me. I started guzzling bottles of water thinking that was going to end it.” Jonathan then asked: “How do you talk to your children about that? Because every parent has to have the conversation in some shape or form.” Referring to her 18-year-old girl Lourdes, Madonna said: “I just ask my daughter to make wise decisions and to do things in moderation and to try not to mix her alcohol. “I am not going to say ‘no, don’t do it’ because that is just absurd. And it is not fair. Yeah, I did it.” Jonathan said: “Most young people I know are not into the dangerous drugs, they seem to like marijuana.” Madonna replied: “Yeah, it’s legal.” But Jonathan advised the US star that it is not legal in Britain. The Queen of Pop also talked about her love life, saying she was single and “the right man would not be intimidated by me”. She even spoke with fondness about past partners including British film director Guy Ritchie, 46, her husband for eight years until 2008. And she said it was only bad timing that stopped her from having a longer relationship with actor Warren Beatty, who is 21 years her senior. Madonna said: “There’s a perfect example of timing, because he was ready and I wasn’t quite ready.” She also spoke with great pride about her four children – Lourdes, 14-year-old Rocco, and their younger siblings David and Mercy. Madonna, who hit the headlines this week after falling off stage when she performed at the Brits, said “all of my children are talented”.

I'm Chinese and I think if I were white I would be on average, happier than I am now. Because a. I receive better treatment b. I would have a wider social circle c. I can be whatever I want to be, there is no glass ceiling to overcome. Overall, I'm happy with being Chinese (being chinese can be awesome sometimes) but I think I would happier being white with similar circumstances as I am in right now.
My ex took me to court. We ended up on the Judge Judy show. She raked him over the coals for several minutes, then turned to me and said "is there anything you want to add?" I said "no maam." And she said "Good. Case dismissed. Goodbye."
He's been nominated twice. He should have been nominated for Love Song for Bobby Long and, even though he wasn't as good as Divine, for Hairspray where he was better than expected. He got so much negative press at this years show for some odd reason. I hope it doesn't impact future work.
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.
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."

Cue up the cries of tyranny, folks. The despot-in-chief is at his lawless ways yet again: The Obama administration said it would allow people to sign up for plans on HealthCare.gov through April to avoid tax penalties for going uncovered in 2015. The extension, which adds more than two months to the enrollment period for health coverage this year, was announced by Health and Human Services officials on Friday. ....People who pay penalties for going uncovered in 2014 and are still uninsured will be allowed to visit HealthCare.gov until the end of April....They will be able to apply for coverage starting March 15 as long as they attest that they didn’t learn about the health law’s requirement to carry insurance or pay the fine when they filed their taxes. This is basically a recognition of the real-world reality that a lot of people are going to be pissed off when they realize they have to pay a tax penalty for lacking health insurance. So HHS is giving them a choice: once you find out about the penalty, you can either pay it or sign up for health coverage. Does this make sense? Is HHS within its rights to do this? Will it help lots of people who are genuinely confused about the law? Is it just a bit of ass-covering from the Obama administration, which knows it will otherwise face a big backlash from folks who have to pay a penalty? It doesn't really matter. It's lawlessness. It's tyranny. It's Obama shredding the Constitution yet again. It's the end of the America we love. The soundtrack for this movie is a beloved conservative classic, and it's coming to a TV screen near you in 3, 2, 1....

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 had low Testosterone & was given Clomid temporarily until they figure out if there is a better solution (I'm only in my 30s and the T level is too low for someone in their 80s). It's day # 2, and I AM NUTS. The drug was originally made for female fertility, but it works to raise T in men. I wasn't even warned about the "mood effects", but I noticed I was feeling strange. Then, I found threads of bro body builders talking about how they became crazy bitches too...aside from women saying the same thing, which I assumed I was immune from. I was supposed to see my BF tonight & he was supposed to come here & then go to dinner. Then he changed it to no dinner. Then, he said he didn't want to come here. So, I went there & his guest space had 2 neighboring cars on each side that made the space impossible to park in...and I told him on the phone that I was going to park further down & he goes "you can't park in that space?? Why can't you just make a wide turn? What's so hard?" - and I just lost my shit - like NO I CAN'T FUCKING PARK THERE - YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A CAR. YOU SPENT ALL DAY DOING SHIT WITH OTHER PEOPLE, CAUSED ME TO REARRANGE MY SCHEDULE - AND I CAN'T EVEN PARK HERE. AND I CLEANED MY APT (and ass) FOR NO REASON. And, I drove home...where I am going to have a straight jacket put on me until I see my doctor. He texted me like - I'm sorry if I upset you- and I said...uh....I should just avoid people right now. I told him about the low T thing, vaguely. He is "not into pills" so I didn't want to go down that road. If trannies go through even 1/2 of this - I get it now. I'm a hysterical shrieking queen right now. I don't even know if this is hormones or the drug itself bc it's not supposed to "work" for a few weeks.

The divorce will not be contested, indicating O'Donnell and Rounds will abide by their prenup and work out an amicable settlement. News of the filing was first reported by People. There was no immediate comment from either side, but today's announcement was hardly a surprise. Just three weeks ago, O'Donnell, 52, cited the demise of her relationship as one of the reasons she was quitting The View.

A Quebec judge told a woman appearing in her Montreal courtroom she would not hear her case until she removed her hijab. "Hats and sunglasses for example, are not allowed. And I don't see why scarves on the head would be either," the female judge says in the recording. "The same rules need to be applied to everyone. I will therefore not hear you if you are wearing a scarf on your head, just as I would not allow a person to appear before me wearing a hat or sunglasses on his or her head, or any other garment not suitable for a court proceeding." Do you agree? Link below for the audio recording of the Judge

My friend is a natural businessman. He's not afraid of money and talking about it. He knows the value of money and how things should be priced. Most importantly, he knows that the majority of people ARE fearful of discussing money. He easily takes advantage of that, as do so many businessmen. What's not so great is to talk with someone for whom money trumps everything. Every conversation has money in it. My advice to those making major purchases is that everything is negotiable. Also, if you feel uncomfortable about any part of the purchase, don't pretend you completely understand everything. Stop and make the salesman slow down and explain properly. Finally, the salesman is not your friend. Stop feeling the salesman will think less of you if don't do everything he says.
How do you do it? I have always, always carried a balance most of my adult life. Right now I am 4k or so in debt and can only afford to chip away at it. Then last weekend I had to use it again as my car broke down and needed a repair. :(

Christopher Nolan has become one of Hollywood's most successful filmmakers, as well as one of its most contested. We examine why... In case you missed it, the Oscars were this past weekend and Birdman was the big winner. The Academy’s choice to award Alejandro González Iñárritu's fever dream was a genuine shock, not least of all because it actually was my favorite movie of the year. Nonetheless, some things never change, and in that vein it's certainly a non-surprise the Academy also hardly noticed the most ambitious blockbuster of 2014: the Christopher Nolan space epic, Interstellar. Indeed, I use the phrase “non-surprise,” because how could it be a winner when it was only nominated for the bare minimum of five Oscars in technical categories that are reserved as consolation prizes? This is by all means par for the course with a film that has experienced a mixed reaction amongst filmgoers and critics in addition to the mainstream-opposed AMPAS. Also, I admittedly stand somewhere along the favorable half of the Interstellar divide: for my money, Christopher Nolan again crafted one of the most thought-provoking films of its year, “big budget” kids table qualifiers be damned. Interstellar might be a Hollywood tentpole, but it is also a stunning one that welcomes speculation about its Secular End Times Mythmaking, as well as scientific scrutiny since it is now considered a resource on the visible structure of black holes in relation to light. Nevertheless Interstellar, much like Nolan himself, seems to be facing an increased backlash that is all too familiar, despite the director being one of the most respected talents in Hollywood. Generally speaking, it might appear ludicrous to suggest that one of the most lucrative studio moneymakers is experiencing serious blowback, be it critical or populist. After all, Interstellar—a film that has a climax revolving around an elephantine visualization of fifth dimensional theoretical physics—earned over $670 million worldwide and mostly positive reviews. Mr. Nolan's previous “original idea” blockbuster, Inception, grossed $825 million worldwide and was nominated for Best Picture; and in between those efforts, he finished off The Dark Knight Trilogy, which when combined earned about $2.5 billion worldwide and even a few Oscars, including a posthumous Supporting Actor trophy for Heath Ledger’s iconic portrayal of the Joker. However, it is exactly because of this success, both critically and the far more grievously financial, that Nolan faces a rising tide of Academy snubs. How the Interstellar director didn't qualify for a Best Director nomination in a year that gave a quizzical nod to Bennett Miller’s lethargic Foxcatcher is puzzling. In fact, Nolan’s success places him at a familiar if rare position within Hollywood filmmaking: at its epicenter. And when one finds that elusive sweet spot where art and commerce first intersect—craft and showmanship—it can lead to resentment on all sides. Unlike other foreign markets, Hollywood has long been a tug-of-war between lofty aspirations and the industry’s need to entertain. Filmmaking may be a business almost everywhere else, but in the U.S., it has always been an extension of show business—as in the Ethel Merman variety. Dating back to the earliest Hollywood moguls all the way to the more diverse landscape of independent American filmmaking and its 1990s golden age, this give-and-take has always been present. In such an environment, there is a distinction between the showmen and the artists. Long before the auteur theory existed, there was still a line in the sand separating the producers or directors that made the crowd pleasers, and those that made the award winners. If there was any overlap, it was when a Western pioneer like John Ford got political with The Grapes of Wrath or How Green is My Valley, rather than when he was calling John Wayne a sonofabitch in Monument Valley while filming Stagecoach or The Searchers. Yet, there have still been those rare filmmakers that paradoxically enjoy exploring the center of studio moviemaking with large budgets, large audiences, and even larger ambitions. While I would never call directors like Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, and Steven Spielberg of the same temperament or persuasion, they all have familiar beats in their professional biography: Alfred Hitchcock was a successful English filmmaker who was invited to Hollywood. His first American film was Rebecca (1940), a picture that had a compromised ending due to the creative control exerted by Hitch’s producer, David O. Selznick—who had just come off the legendary Gone with the Wind. However, it was with few Hollywood movies afterwards that Hitchcock ever faced that kind of creative restriction again. Hitchcock became a theatrical favorite for the American moviegoing public with his taut genre thrillers that usually starred the biggest names of Hollywood’s Golden Age: Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman in Notorious, Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly in Rear Window, and Cary Grant again with Eva Marie Saint in North by Northwest. Until 1964’s Marnie, Hitch didn’t really miss once with audiences at the box office, save for Vertigo (1958), a Stewart vehicle that is now considered one of Hitchcock’s many masterpieces, showcasing a sense of composition and psychological framing that is still haunting. During this ascension, Hitch also made himself a star at a time when most Americans couldn’t tell Frank Capra from Billy Wilder. But Hitchcock's corpulent profile was unmistakable thanks to his shameless self-promotion on the 1950s TV series Alfred Hitchcock Presents. It also was a great springboard that allowed movie lovers to recognize Hitch when he would cameo in his films. In this 25-year Hollywood success story, complete with masterworks like Shadow of a Doubt, Dial M for Murder, and Psycho, he never won a competitive Oscar. Sure, he received a lifetime achievement prize in 1968, but his “genre” pictures full of sex, murder, and adventure were rarely accepted as high art until near Hitch’s death in 1980. Stanley Kubrick also only ever won a single Oscar…for his contribution to visual effects in 1968’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Despite being nominated repeatedly for direction and/or writing on Dr. Strangelove, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, and Full Metal Jacket, Kubrick was mostly ignored. 2001 wasn’t even nominated for Best Picture. For that matter, neither were Paths of Glory, Spartacus, or The Shining. Conversely, Steven Spielberg has won two Oscars for direction, and one for Best Picture. However, the Academy might have been contractually obligated to hand them over since while inarguably masterful, Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan's World War II backdrop made them instant Academy favorites. Prior to Schindler’s List, Spielberg experienced the same recognizable disdain for making very artful, and very successful, populist entertainments for over a decade. These supposedly mindless diversions, which I’ve heard described as “puppet’ showcases, include Jaws, which Spielberg is famously on film at the moment when he realized he wouldn’t get a Best Director nomination, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. None of these directors, or Nolan for that matter, have a similar aesthetic. Indeed, Kubrick and Spielberg are diametrically opposed since one filmmaker is considered by cinephiles to be the greatest artist in the medium, hailing absolutely from a coldly intellectual perspective, and the other was the Baby Boomer equivalent of Walt Disney with his unashamed embrace of sentimentality. But both knew better than anyone at how to seduce, dazzle, and entertain the audience—and they did so in separate ways that the other famously envied. Kubrick’s sensibility to make personal, cerebral meditations that could become box office success stories, and Spielberg’s crowd pleasers that could also feature transcendent sequences like the USS Indianapolis moment in Jaws, was the reason the two finally collaborated on A.I. But also like Nolan, backlash could always be imminent. Consider that while A Clockwork Orange made over $20 million on a $2 million budget, it was also rated X and eventually banned in the UK (on Kubrick's request) after a year of protests. Two films later, Kubrick’s The Shining was a sleeper genre hit in 1980 that got no Oscar love, but received two Razzie nominations. Now both films are considered deconstructionist classics. All this brings me back to Christopher Nolan, a director who after Following and Memento was the toast of art house theaters. He then was hired by Warner Bros. to remake a Norwegian film called Insomnia and never looked back. Since going to Hollywood, Nolan has become synonymous with blockbusters, explosive budgets, and high concept projects like the Batman franchise and “dream machines.” After almost every effort, critical and box office accolades have followed, but so has a rising chorus of discontent, which grows only louder the more successful he becomes. Obviously, all opinions are fair, but more than any filmmaker of his generation, Nolan has been able to move the paradigm of Hollywood moviemaking, for both the elite and mainstream franchising. And the more that he becomes an industry leader, the more noticeable the backlash waves on both ends of the culture rise. For example, consider the most successful film Christopher Nolan has helmed to date, 2008’s The Dark Knight. As the only superhero movie to ever enjoy serious award consideration, its Best Picture snubbing was so insipidly received that the Academy forced itself (with much inside aggrievement) to raise the number of potential Best Picture nominees to 10—which noticeably did little to help mainstream favorites last year like Interstellar or David Fincher’s Gone Girl. On the other end of the cultural spectrum, The Dark Knight and its less famous predecessor Batman Begins rewrote the playbook on franchise films. For starters, we can thank (or blame) Begins for introducing the term “reboot” into the studio lexicon. Without that successful relaunch of the Batman series, it is hard to imagine Casino Royale, Star Trek, The Amazing Spider-Man, or Man of Steel turning out the way that they did. And concurrently, the ponderous post-9/11 tone that made The Dark Knight so uncomfortably relevant has also been duplicated to positive effect (Skyfall) and far lesser ones (Star Trek Into Darkness, Man of Steel). The more that other filmmakers emulate Nolan, the more he resembles in this writer’s mind Steven Spielberg’s 1980s success. There are some noticeable differences, such as Spielberg producing many of his disciples like Tobe Hooper with Poltergeist and Robert Zemeckis' Back to the Future under the Amblin banner, but it was still a decade of influence that only increased a resentment from the Academy, even when Spielberg aimed for a higher brow with pictures like The Color Purple and Empire of the Sun. Similarly, as the “gritty” style attributed to Nolan becomes common, the more evident the backlash appears in even the fan community that used to worship the director like a British pagan deity. Where once his Batman films were lauded as “masterpieces,” many of them are now dismissed by the same online websites for being too much of the director’s aesthetic, and too unlike the new shiny toys of Zack Snyder or Kevin Feige, which incorporate words like “world-building” and “six-film contracts” and “unending oblivion,” as opposed to concepts like “trilogies” and “endings,” and “complete stories.” Prior to Interstellar’s release, an entertainment site that I respect and admire ran a record-breaking 11 negative articles about the film before anyone outside of the press had seen it. Again, opinion is opinion, yet this reeks of an editorial disdain for a filmmaker’s influence on pop culture. It causes one to wonder if the dialogue of Howard Hawks, Woody Allen, or Quentin Tarantino is subject to the same “naturalist” scrutiny. Or for that matter, if there are online critics who sit in every screening from Guardians of the Galaxy to The Grand Budapest Hotel with a pen and paper poised to jot down “plot holes.” Ironically, I suspect a previous Nolan film has already addressed such aggressively capricious hate-watching: as Leonardo DiCaprio said in Inception, “It’s only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange.” Being able to spend hours studying an illusion to find the wires after the fact can be a fun pastime, but it hardly is a discredit to the magician if you are fooled in the theater. Like the dueling illusionists in another Nolan film that acts as a mission statement, such mania might even be welcome. But personally, what I find most ingratiating is a filmmaker that both knows how to dazzle and challenge audiences. I would argue that almost every film in Nolan’s catalogue to date features him grappling with personal anxieties, either as a storyteller (Inception), parent (Interstellar), or simply a westerner during the endless War on Terror march (The Dark Knight). Yet, none are afraid to either blow up buildings or use special effects to enrapture the audience. For a filmmaker to treat “superhero cinema” as exactly that, and not just disposable fast food, should be savored. And incidentally, Nolan’s ability to tap into every form of recent anxiety in the name of entertainment is perhaps his greatest feat. One no longer needs to remember Fallujah to find discomfort in 2015 while watching masked men hang captives from the George Washington Bridge in The Dark Knight Rises. Nor is one allowed to shrug off the dust bowl of Interstellar as pure science fiction fantasy when NASA predicts that we will likely see a 20-40 year megadrought in the 21st century. This ability to play to the eyes and the intellect, be it through IMAX cameras or storylines borne from the musings of theoretical physicist Kip Thorne, is a rare sensibility that will likely still impress decades after awards gatekeepers and pop culture enthusiasts feel less threatened by a style that they currently cannot avoid. Several years ago, while discussing his own filmography with Star World, Steven Spielberg paid the highest compliment to The Dark Knight films when he said, “For me, the Chris Nolan Batman films are art films. Very successful, well told stories, but also with beautiful visual art.” This surprised even me, a fan of the Batman films that didn’t mind questioning whether their hero could outgrow childhood traumas and adolescent aspirations (like dressing up as a bat). But Spielberg, no stranger to making pop culture masterpieces of his own in spite of plenty of Academy Award snubs, still felt obliged to offer the kind of praise many film aficionados would hesitate penning, including myself at one time. But perhaps that is because Spielberg, like several other infamously Oscar-ignored filmmakers, understands a secret first coined by Oscar Wilde: “Every effect that one produces gives one an enemy. To be popular, one must be a mediocrity.” Nolan has had a hell of an effect on Hollywood and the Academy as of late.
The new scripted drama premieres tonight. From the creator of "The Tudors" and starring former CK underwear model Travis Fimmel and Gabriel Byrne. I'm going to give it a shot...early reviews are encouraging, and I'm guessing many of the male characters will be hot, in an uncivilized, possibly murderous yet emotionally conflicted way. Kind of like some of the guys I've known from real life. I want to see wanton pillaging and bedroom intrigue.
ISIS ate the last donut out of the Entenmann's box and didn't tell anyone, sources tell us. This comes only weeks after ISIS ate all of the Fruit Loops and used the last drop of skim milk without replacing either one, nor did they tell mom that they did it. Mom would have bought more at the store, but instead we had to eat breakfast the next day without milk and we had to eat Thomas's "Everything" mini bagels, which give some of us a stomach ache. "This is why we cant have nice things," cried ISIS's grandmother, who was a WAC during the Vietnam war. "I fought for my country and this is how I get treated!" Dad pointed out that grandma had been a nurse, and thus was not a combatant during the war. She was stationed at Fort Bragg. ISIS snickered and deliberately stepped on the cat's tail.

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.

It's flabbergasting to me this was a love triangle gone wrong, and she was at the center of it.
I see this all the time. For example a white friend of mine inevitably bring into the conversation with someone he is talkinh that his wife is black. He usually starts by showing a picture of his kid and mentioning how the kid got his looks from his African American wife. Another white man I know will mention his black wife whenever he interacts with another black person. We were out to lunch and it brought it up with the restaurant manager. A third always says, "When you have an Caribbean girlfriend, (insert knowing look about how fiery they are)" JUST STOP IT!

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.

Prince Harry to leave the army after 10 years Surprise move by prince who is said to be planning ‘a significant period abroad’ on field projects in Africa Press Association, Friday 27 February 2015 13.35 GMT Prince Harry is expected to leave the army this year after 10 years in the British military, according to widespread reports. He is understood to have decided to end his active military career, during which he took two tours of duty in Afghanistan. The move comes as a surprise as Harry is a passionate member of the armed forces who appeared to be focused on a long career serving as a British army officer. Kensington Palace would not comment on the news, first reported in London’s Evening Standard, issuing a short statement highlighting his current role. It said: “Prince Harry is currently focused on his work supporting the Ministry of Defence’s recovery capability programme to ensure those who are wounded, injured or sick have appropriate recovery plans and the necessary support they require. It’s a natural progression from the work he did organising the Invictus Games. “This involves working alongside case officers in London District’s personal recovery unit and visiting various recovery centres and partner agencies (like forces charities and the NHS) around the country.” A source close to the royal household said: “This work is helping Prince Harry develop his knowledge of how the system works. “The military will always play a very important part in Prince Harry’s life and especially supporting those who have served or are serving in the armed forces. It is a topic he is passionate about, both personally and professionally, and he will always want to use his position to help, regardless of his military role.” The Standard said the 30-year-old prince plans to focus on his charity work and aims to spend “a significant period abroad” on field projects in Africa. He is keen to pursue his interests in conservation and wildlife and to continue helping the rehabilitation of injured service personnel. Before his active military duties end, he is expected to move to Australia for “several weeks”, seconded to serve with units there, the newspaper said. Later he will spend time in New Zealand but not be involved with the military there, it added.
Madonna on age jokes: No-one would dare say that about being gay 27th February 2015, 12:37 PM, Nick Duffy Madonna has attacked jibes about her age – claiming people wouldn’t dare make “degrading remarks” about sexuality. The singer took a tumble at the BRIT Awards on Wednesday, when a dance routine went awry during a live performance. The internet quickly filled with jokes about the 56-year-old following the mishap – when a backing dancer pulled her over by her cape. Speaking to Rolling Stone, Madonna attacked the hurtful jibes about her age – comparing it to homophobia and racism. She said: “It’s still the one area where you can totally discriminate against somebody, and talk s**t. Because of their age. Only females, though. Not males. No one would dare to say a degrading remark about being black or dare to say a degrading remark on Instagram about someone being gay.” “But my age – anybody and everybody would say something degrading to me. And I always think to myself, why is that accepted? “What’s the difference between that and racism, or any discrimination? They’re judging me by my age. I don’t understand. “I’m trying to get my head around it. Because women, generally, when they reach a certain age, have accepted that they’re not allowed to behave a certain way. “But I don’t follow the rules. I never did, and I’m not going to start.” Earlier this month, the singer joined hook-up app Grindr to chat to her gay fans.

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.”

The average young woman of the Fifties had one supreme goal in life: to land herself a decent husband. He didn’t have to be devastatingly good-looking or rich. He just had to earn enough money so that she could stay at home, raise the children and never have to work for a living again. The alternative? Being labelled a spinster or old maid, and probably slaving for a lifetime in a low-paid and low-status job. From our vantage point in the 21st century, the Fifties often seems bathed in a rosy nostalgic glow. It was, after all, an era of stay-at-home mums and strong family values — exemplified by images of radiant housewives in flattering frocks, posing in front of a batch of freshly baked fairy cakes. But what was it really like to be a woman in this critical post-war decade?

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.

Zendaya has forgiven Giuliana Rancic after she issued an apology earlier this week after commenting about her 2015 Oscars hairstyle. Here’s what the 18-year-old actress wrote on Instagram: [quote]Studies have shown that even though we try to act without prejudice, sometimes it’s just hidden inside us due to our past or surrounding. That hidden prejudice is often influential in our actions. it’s our job to spot these issues within others and ourselves and destroy them before they become hurtful. I have so many people looking up to me, that I couldn’t be scared, wait it out, nor could I just stand up for me; I had to do it for WE. It is in important in this journey, to remember that just because someone has inflicted hurt upon us, it does not give us the right to do the same. [quote]Body shaming and other hurtful tactics will never get the job done. As hard as it was to stop MYSELF from being ignorant and from posting the first mean words that came to my mind because I was hurt, I had to think about the bigger picture. Instead, I sat for two hours on my phone, doing my research and formulating an educated response. [quote]Giuliana, I appreciate your apology and I’m glad it was a learning experience for you and for the network. I hope thatothers negatively affected by her words can also find it in their hearts to accept her apology as well. From a quote we all know by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out have; only love can do that.’ Let’s be that light and spread that love.” - All this because someone associated her fugly dreadlocks with patchouli and weed.

The Daily Mail Publishes Horrifying New Pix of Madonna Holding A Respiratory Inhaler
Rebel Heart release date: Friday, March 6. Roundup thus far: The tracks got leaked. Madonna got sucked into Twitter wars about her use of altered photos of black civil rights heroes to flog the album's theme. And the lead single Living For Love has so far failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100. She performed it live at the Grammys, to mixed reviews. Last time we did this (MDNA), Madonna did manage to eke out one week at the #1 spot. (Billboard album chart) Can she do it again?

What do we think of her? Is she the new Mariah?
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. This soured her relationship with the Hollywood community. I consider her a friend. I have and will always think of her for parts that we can collaborate on, however the consensus among the creative teams and powers thus far were to go another way with these roles."

Some Awkward Moments: Amenities Offer a Clean Break but Can Put Workers in a Lather One day before work, Shaun Martin made a moist unpleasant discovery. The Austin, Texas, software development manager had just finished a workout and hit the shower in his office to clean off before settling into work. Then the 32-year old reached for his navy blue towel. “The towel was damp. Worse than damp,” he says, describing the moment he first realized a co-worker had been secretly using his terry cloth. The latest homey amenity to crop up in the workplace, office showers are going mainstream, ushering in a new era of intimacy and awkwardness among co-workers. Many workers have mastered the perils of the corporate gym locker room—studiously avoiding eye contact to avert a glimpse of the boss in boxer briefs—but the showers near their cubicles have raised a host of new issues, from purloined towels to hot-water hogs. Showering at Brooks Running Co. has become more of a relay race than an exercise in relaxation, thanks to timers in the Seattle-based apparel and footwear company’s showers. The showers shut off after four minutes, and to deter an employee from doubling the length of a rinse, don’t turn on again for five minutes. Designed to conserve water, the showers have led to unexpected corporate team-building. To save time, a group of male runners performs a feat nearly as challenging as their six-to-eight-mile lunchtime workouts: One at a time, they hop in for 30-second bursts, giving a yell when they’re about to step out of the shower. The timer’s beeps count down the final five seconds, adding an element of pressure and competition to the midday break. “It was definitely a race against the clock,” Michael Chinchar, a 26-year-old corporate responsibility specialist at the company, says of a recent rinse, when he jumped in with 20 seconds to go—leaving little time for shampoo, much less conditioner. “We all just kind of do the necessities,” he says. Colleagues dry each other off in the locker room afterward. There is a separate facility for women. “With a benefit comes responsibility,” says Peter Post, the managing director of the Emily Post Institute. While part of the office, the shower zone should not be treated as a workspace, he advises. “This is not the time to waylay your boss or even your co-worker who’s standing here in their towel,” he says. Realizing that some people do their best thinking in the shower, online shipping services company uShip Inc., where Mr. Martin works, recently installed a notepad with waterproof paper on the shower’s tile walls. Meg Garrett, the company’s vice president for human resources, acknowledges the shower setup might strike some as a bit too close for comfort. “You, at some point in time, were naked in the same room as your co-workers,” she says. “If you think about that in its simplest form, it’s a little weird.” Mr. Martin, the worker who discovered a colleague had been using his towel, rarely uses the work shower these days, saying the incident left him “miffed.” He never confronted the perpetrator, he says. “ ‘Violated’ is too strong of a word,” he says. Still, “it’s gross.”
Showering with your co-workers is the new trust fall for team-building
CPAC straw poll: Rand Paul leads GOP 2016 hopefuls with third win - Kentucky senator takes poll from Wisconsin governor Scott Walker - Prize is a dubious one: only three winners have won presidential nomination Martin Pengelly in New York, Saturday 28 February 2015 22.45 GMT Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky won the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) presidential straw poll for a third year in a row on Saturday, beating rising 2016 hopeful Scott Walker into second place. Paul – who took 25.7% of the vote to the governor of Wisconsin’s 21.4% – won the poll in 2013 and 2014, and had been widely favoured win the hard-right CPAC attendees over once again. Paul spoke at the conference on Friday, seeking to reassure a hawkish audience over his foreign policy credentials. Walker spoke on Thursday – in his attempt to demonstrate strength on foreign affairs he appeared to compare passing anti-union legislation in Wisconsin to taking on Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria, causing great offence at home. Paul’s joy will not be unbounded: in 20 CPAC straw polls for which records exist, only three winners have gone on to win the Republican nomination for president: Ronald Reagan, George W Bush and Mitt Romney. Paul’s father, the libertarian congressman Ron Paul, won in 2010 and 2011 but failed in bids for the nomination in 2008 and 2012. The Texas senator and Tea Party favourite Ted Cruz was third in the 2015 vote with 11.5%, just ahead of the retired neurosurgeon and avowed foe of Obamacare Dr Ben Carson, who took 11.4%. Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, son and brother of former presidents and establishment favourite for 2016, took 8.3% of the votes cast and former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum 4.3%. Earlier, the New York Times reported that Bush supporters “organised caravans of his Washington backers” to attend the event, at which he appeared for a mildly contentious Q&A session with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Friday, prompting complaints from conservative media about an attempt to rig the poll. Notable names among the also-rans included another Florida politician seen by hardliners to be soft on immigration, Senator Marco Rubio, with 3.7%, and Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey who took only 2.7% despite trying to convince conference-goers in his appearance that he would be a “hard, fighting” candidate for president. Christie finished behind the real-estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump. Two notably conservative former governors, Rick Perry of Texas and Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, took 1.1% and 0.8% respectively; Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal attracted 0.9% of the vote, joining Huckabee in losing out to “undecided”. Just over 3,000 votes were cast at the three-day gathering, at a convention centre in Maryland.

He told a story last night on Letterman in which he was on a few pills and whiskey for a performance he did and was still a little loopy when he went backstage. There, he ran into Tony Goldwyn who was with a few people including two children. The little girl asked if he would autograph her Playbill which he did, then the little 9-year-old boy took off his Croc shoe and asked, "Would you autograph my Croc?" Sean, still a little whacked out on pills and booze, replied, " Thank God there's an "r" in that," at which point Tony Goldwyn looked horrified and they all left. I don't believe that story for a minute. Who asks someone to autograph a shoe, let alone a plastic shoe? The story does not make sense. If he's going to make up stories for late night shows which many people do, can't he make up something more believable? Or one that doesn't involve a little boy and his Croc?

Harrison Ford will star in "Blade Runner 2".
It's funny looking back at articles about actors we now know were gay, like Rock Hudson and Richard Chamberlain, you can always find subtle hints about their sexuality, even if the writers never come right out and say it. Can you think of any articles or interviews that seem to be hinting at a celeb being gay?
Facially, that is. I see her now, and with the right lighting she can still pass as a woman in her 40s, circa "Ray of Light", thanks to her latest cheeks. Sometimes she even looks the way she did when she did "Evita". The cheeks give her a more fuller, youthful look (at times). So, what age do you think she''ll be when plastic surgery can''t even make her look young anymore? She looks like she could be hitting that moment only a few years from now. Somehow, Cher was able to keep up with it, even if she looked ridiculous. She already had a boney, weird angular face. Madonna never had that. She had a gigantic Italian face that deflated a decade ago, giving her the appearance of a mummy. She seems to be getting that bloated, menopausal look to her face, even with the facelift sutures trying to hold it back.
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'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?
OP
Could someone please explain what the little bumps on this (hot) guy's body are? A hookup had them too, but I was too embarrassed to ask. Are they contagious?

She has REALLY done it now. The French are outraged over this, as is the UK, whose media has been running with this today. She really did take a blow to the head Wednesday night... "Singer says antisemitism at an all-time high and laments France’s lost tradition of welcoming diversity" Madonna has lashed out at intolerance in Europe, saying it is now so high in France and across the continent that “it feels like Nazi Germany”. Speaking to French radio station Europe 1 in an interview to be aired on Friday morning, Madonna said “antisemitism is at an all-time high” in France and elsewhere in Europe, and likened the atmosphere to the period when German fascism was on the ascent. “We’re living in crazy times,” the 56-year-old singer said, calling the situation “scary,” and lamenting what she described as France’s lost tradition of welcoming diversity and honouring freedom. “It was a country that embraced everyone and encouraged freedom in every way, shape or form – artistic expression of freedom,” Madonna said. “Now that’s completely gone. “France was once a country that accepted people of colour, and was a place artists escaped to, whether it was Josephine Baker or Charlie Parker.” In fact, Parker only visited France briefly to play concert engagements, and unlike jazz legends such as Bud Powell, Kenny Clarke and Dexter Gordon, never took up French residency. The globally acclaimed entertainer also spoke out in 2012 when she denounced the rise of xenophobia and extreme-right parties in Europe. She said her earlier comments were made when “I was receiving a lot of criticism and threats from Marine Le Pen” and her National Front party, which Madonna described as “fascist”. The singer’s spat with Le Pen began after the far-right leader threatened to sue Madonna over a video featuring an image of Le Pen with a swastika on her forehead. The offending symbol was eventually replaced with a question mark to avoid litigation. But Madonna said in the interview that the motives that led her to speak out against intolerance in 2012 were even more pressing today. “What I said two years ago is valid today,” she said. “It’s not just happening in France, it’s all over Europe. But particularly in France. “The level of intolerance is so enormous it’s scary.”

1 hour ago William Shatner sent out a series of Tweets on Saturday expressing his grief over the loss of one his "dearest friends," Leonard Nimoy. Sadly, due to a prior commitment that poses a scheduling conflict, Shatner is unable to attend Nimoy's funeral on Sunday. "I am currently in FL as I agreed to appear at the Red Cross Ball tonight. Leonard's funeral is tomorrow. I can't make it back in time," he explained, adding in another Tweet, "I feel really awful. Here I am doing charity work and one of my dearest friends is being buried." hatner, who starred as Captain James T. Kirk on "Star Trek," asked that fans keep his former co-star in their thoughts as he is laid to rest. "So maybe tomorrow we come together here and celebrate his life," the actor Tweeted and continued, "So let's spend some time tomorrow celebrating Leonard's life and remembering the man." He also took time to thank everyone who has paid tribute to the late star. "I am so humbled by the worldwide outpouring of love that has been displayed; words cannot express my feelings," he wrote in one Tweet and further expressed gratitude in another that read, "There are so many people who I need to say thank you to." Shatner ended his series of Tweets with one final note, "Until tomorrow! #LLAP." #LLAP stands for Nimoy's famous "Star Trek" line, "Live long and prosper." On Friday, the day Nimoy passed, Shatner Tweeted, "I loved him like a brother. We will all miss his humor, his talent, and his capacity to love." Nimoy died Friday morning "after a long battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at his home in Bel Air. Mr. Nimoy was 83 years old," a spokesperson for the actor told Access Hollywood .

Yesterday was the premiere of season 10, after 9 criminally overlooked seasons. (At least the show has a strong cult following, I suppose.) Any thoughts? I thought the first episode was okay. I guess I was a little underwhelmed, considering it was the big season premiere, but it definitely had its funny bits. I hope the next few are better. Really, though, I just want to see Charlie Day every week. I have a somewhat inexplicable crush on Charlie Day.

A Texas congressman introduced a bill Thursday that would ask the president to posthumously award the Medal of Honor to Chris Kyle, a Navy SEAL whose life was chronicled in the movie “American Sniper.” Rep. Roger Williams, Texas Republican, said Kyle should receive the Medal of Honor for his actions during Operation Iraqi Freedom that saved “countless American lives.” “There is no doubt that this true American hero is worthy of our nation’s highest military honor,” Mr. Williams said in a statement. “While the Medal of Honor will not bring back a husband, father, son and a model Texan, we owe Chris Kyle and his family a great deal of gratitude for his relentless devotion to his country.” Kyle is credited with being the deadliest sniper in American history. He was killed two years ago when a veteran he brought to a gun range who was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder turned the gun on Kyle. The veteran, Eddie Ray Routh, was found guilty earlier this week and sentenced to life in prison. The Medal of Honor must be awarded by the president, but there is historical precedent for members of Congress offering legislation to encourage the president to award the medal to certain individuals, Mr. Williams‘ office said in a statement.

She rarely gets much attention here on Datalounge, but she was the greatest female star and sex symbol of the Thirties, and her films made huge amounts of money for MGM when the films of Joan Crawford and Norma Shearer (their other two biggest female stars) were not making money. And for much of her career Marilyn Monroe was often called a Harlow imitator, although except for the platinum hair and the curvaceousness the two women had little in common. Harlow was terrific in comedy, particularly in DINNER AT EIGHT and RED DUST, two of her best films. She had tons of glamor thanks to her platinum hair and sexy satin outfits, but she was a tough-talking "real girl" whom audiences loved. And she had the worst first name ever in real life: she was born Harlean Carpenter.

Three ships will spend up to a year hunting for wreckage off Australia’s west coast. The recovery effort has been on hold for months while crews mapped out the 23,000-square mile search zone. The Boeing 777 — and all 239 people on board — vanished in March during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. After a four-month hiatus, the hunt for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is about to resume in a desolate stretch of the Indian Ocean, with searchers lowering new equipment deep beneath the waves in a bid to finally solve one of the world's most perplexing aviation mysteries. The GO Phoenix, the first of three ships that will spend up to a year hunting for the wreckage far off Australia's west coast, is expected to arrive in the search zone Sunday, though weather could delay its progress. Crews will use sonar, video cameras and jet fuel sensors to scour the water for any trace of the Boeing 777, which disappeared March 8 during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board. The search has been on hold for months so crews could map the seabed in the search zone, about 1,100 miles west of Australia. The 23,000-square mile search area lies along what is known as the "seventh arc" — a stretch of ocean where investigators believe the aircraft ran out of fuel and crashed, based largely on an analysis of transmissions between the plane and a satellite. Given that the hunt has already been peppered with false alarms — from underwater signals wrongly thought to be from the plane's black boxes to possible debris fields that turned out to be trash — officials are keen to temper expectations. "We're cautiously optimistic; cautious because of all the technical and other challenges we've got, but optimistic because we're confident in the analysis," said Martin Dolan, chief commissioner of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, the agency leading the search. "But it's just a very big area that we're looking at." That area was largely unknown to scientists before the mapping process began in May. Two ships have been surveying the seabed using on-board multibeam sonar devices, similar to a fish-finder. The equipment sends out a series of signals that determine the shape and hardness of the terrain below, allowing officials to create three-dimensional maps of the seabed. The new search zone is a the 23,000-square mile area off the coast of Australia. Those maps are considered crucial to the search effort because the seafloor is riddled with deep crevasses, mountains and volcanoes, which could prove disastrous to the pricey, delicate search equipment that will be towed just 330 feet above the seabed. Two of the search ships will be using underwater search vessels worth around $1.5 million each. "You can imagine if you're towing a device close to the seafloor, you want to know if you're about to run into a mountain," said Stuart Minchin, chief of the environmental geoscience division at Geoscience Australia, which has been analyzing the mapping data. The terrain isn't the only challenge. The area is prone to brutal weather, and is so remote that it takes vessels up to six days to get there from Australia. Water depths are also tricky: They range from 2,000 feet to 4 miles. That's about the deepest the sonar equipment can go, Dolan said. "In all sorts of ways we're operating towards the limits of the technology that is available," Dolan said. With the mapping nearly complete, the GO Phoenix, provided by Malaysia's government, will begin hunting in an area considered the likeliest crash site, based on an analysis of satellite data gleaned from the plane's jet engine transmitter and a series of unanswered phone calls officials on the ground made to the plane.

Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov shot dead in Moscow Former deputy prime minister and critic of Vladimir Putin who was due to take part in march on Sunday was reportedly killed near the Kremlin Shaun Walker in Moscow, Friday 27 February 2015 22.22 GMT Prominent Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov has been shot dead in Moscow, according to reports. Nemtsov, a former Kremlin insider and a sharp critic of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, was reportedly shot four times in the chest by a killer who escaped in a white car. The killing took place late on Friday evening in the centre of Moscow, near St Basil’s Cathedral and the Kremlin. Nemtsov, 55, was deputy prime minister during the 1990s in the government of Boris Yeltsin. He had written a number of reports in recent years linking Putin and his inner circle to corruption. News agency Interfax confirmed Nemtsov’s death, while fellow opposition politician Ilya Yashin and the editor-in-chief of liberal radio station Ekho Moskvy also confirmed the news. Just hours before his death, Nemtsov had appeared on Ekho Moskvy calling on Muscovites to attend an opposition march planned for Sunday. The march against Putin’s government and the war in Ukraine was due to take place in a suburb of Moscow. One of the other organisers of the march, Alexei Navalny, was jailed for 15 days ahead of the march. In recent years, the Kremlin has used petty harassment and court cases against opposition figures, but there has not been an assassination of a political figure in Moscow for a decade. Russian news agencies reported that senior police officers were on the scene of the murder and a manhunt was under way for the killer.

But yet as much detail as the New York Times story has on so many aspects of his life, it mentions nothing about the legitimate news speculation of him being gay and closeted and him shutting down his Twitter and Instagram accounts when it was discovered that he was following 19-year old diver Tom Daley. Or why he voted against marriage equality and against the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. Come on, NY Times!

Sorry, girls. He's gonna be a blimp when he hits 40.
We've lived together for two years. I own the condo where we live, and he is about 75% bottom and would pay, far less than half of expenses. I also usually pick-up about that same ratio of daily expenses, like dinner, movies, vacations and so forth. I paid to furnished the place, though we shopped for furnishings together so I feel like I should be the dominant role - provider, top. It just seems odd that he brought this up. Things seem to be going well as they are. Occasionly he tells me he did something that would make him a top, like invested in a Fleshlight to fuck, or bought Crisco and latex gloves, or is researching fisting on the internet. Otherwise, we don't talk about each other's holes. I declined to open up my ass, and it's the only thing I've ever denied him or we've argued about. What do you think?

The masked Islamic State militant known as "Jihadi John", who has been pictured in the videos of the beheadings of Western hostages, has been named. The BBC understands he is Mohammed Emwazi, a Kuwaiti-born British man believed to be from West London, who was known to UK security services. They chose not to disclose his name earlier for operational reasons. Emwazi first appeared in a video last August, when he apparently killed the American journalist James Foley. He was later thought to have been pictured in the videos of the beheadings of US journalist Steven Sotloff, British aid worker David Haines, British taxi driver Alan Henning, and American aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig, also known as Peter. Last month, the militant appeared in a video with the Japanese hostages Haruna Yukawa and Kenji Goto, shortly before they were killed. Emwazi is believed to be an associate of a former UK control order suspect, who travelled to Somalia in 2006 and is allegedly linked to a facilitation and funding network for Somali militant group al-Shabab.

Bellagio in Vegas is supposedly the top-rated hotel/casino for customer service. What would you do if the following happened to you? Attending an event at Bellagio hotel/casino, I needed to use the Women's Restroom. In the middle of using the toilet, I saw a huge flood of DARK BROWN FECES flooding my stall from the one next to it. My brand new Satin high heels and large cloth bag were immediately covered in the filthy poop. I finished as quickly as possible and went to the bathroom sink. The smell was horrific. I told the housekeeper what had happened. She yelled at me in front of the other patrons that I should have inspected the stall before using it. She didn't care that the flood of shit happened after I was using the toilet. She ignored my request for help in cleaning my shoes and cloth bag. I had to stand in my stocking feet on the restroom floor, and clean someone else's feces off of my things. I had no choice but to wear the shoes out of the restroom, and carry the cloth bag. I then called for a shift manager. After a long wait, he finally showed up. His response? He didn't see the incident so there was nothing that he could do to help me. I would be happy to take a lie detector test to prove that what I'm saying is 100% true and accurate.
I adore him. He's already angered her fan base with this.

that are now considered outdated.
I've been seeing a guy for nine months now and suspect he may be sleeping with other guys. In some ways he's a wonderful boyfriend. He's out and very demonstrative in public. My friends have all met him but he has not introduced me to any of his friends. We go out about two or three times a week but sometimes he inexplicably cancels on me last minute. He only wants to have sex about once a week which seems deranged we used to go at it daily. There are times when I can't reach him for a day or two he doesn't even respond to texts. I outright told him that we could mess around with other people in the beginning as long as we were open about it. My ex and I had an open relationship so I don't mind. What really pisses me off is the thought that he's fucking around while I'm being faithful and not getting any! I've missed out on a lot of hot cock because of him. Should I just start fucking around?

A few months ago, work hired a new guy. He's so fucking annoying-- constantly chatting me up when I'm trying to work. He's also overly macho-- good looking and straight but yuck.

WTF-- I hate him but want him to fuck me

ISIS has killed four Americans -- in Syria. We’re not exactly talking about another 9/11. Here’s a tip: If you don’t want to be killed by ISIS, don’t go to Syria. Meanwhile, illegal aliens have killed, raped and maimed thousands of Americans -– in America. If you don’t want to be killed, raped or maimed by illegal immigrants in your own country, I have no tips for you. There’s nothing you can do. You’re on your own. Good luck.

However, I think she will probably get life w/out parole as too many cowardly sapsuckers are opposed to the death penalty, or should I say opposed to the death penalty when it comes to women.

The 73-year-old's luxury apartment in Sunningdale, Berkshire, was searched today for five and a half hours hours by eight plain-clothes police officers. A police spokesman said the allegation involved a boy under 16 years of age and dated from the 1980s in the South Yorkshire area.

Arrow creators Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim are working on a team-up series that will feature Brandon Routh, Victor Garber, Wentworth Miller, and Caity Lotz. So given that these actors will be crossing over to the spin-off, that means Ray/Felicity will end on Arrow pretty soon, Martin Stein will successfully stop being Firestorm, Wentworth Miller won't be on The Flash anymore and Caity Lotz? Will she be playing a new character or are we actually spoiled that Sara will be brought back to life? This is supposed to be a superhero team-up show, and it will include more superheroes that haven't appeared on The Flash and Arrow.

Neill Blomkamp has confirmed Sigourney Weaver will reprise her role as Ripley in the forthcoming Alien film. The writer and director has been working with the Oscar-nominated actress on new sci-fi film Chappie, and said it inspired him to cast her again in his reboot of Ridley Scott’s Alien. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly he said: “[Wanting to do this Alien movie] did have to do with having Sigourney on Chappie. It’s just something that I’ve always wanted one day to be part of. “I talked to her about her experience making those films and what she thought about Ripley and everything else, it informed and changed the film I wanted to make into something different.” Biggest blockbusters to see in 2015 Blomkamp announced the reboot last week on Instagram, posting some visual concepts of his reimagined Alien world. The writer-director, whose past films include District 9 and Elysium, said he came up with the idea for the movie a few years ago and began writing the script without Fox knowing about it. “Fox never knew. I just worked on it when I could. Before I knew it, I had this really awesome film with a lot of artwork and a lot of backstory. And then I didn’t know whether I was going to make it or not. So I just kind of sat on it for a while.”

Anyone here in a long-term relationship with a heavy drinker? Don't want to leave because I love him. He's functional. Holds down a high paying job, doesn't drink and drive, etc. The problems is he doesn't see his drinking as a problem for anyone else. It seem as though our lives revolve around his drinking. Vacations have been ruined because he wants to drink all the time. Says it's his business and doesn't see how it effects me. Doesn't see how his behavior changes when he drinks. Trying to distance myelf emotionally from it, but depression over this is kicking my ass. How do others handle it?

Openly gay, experimental filmmaker Todd Haynes burst upon the scene two years after his graduation from Brown University with his now-infamous 43-minute cult treasure "Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story" (1987). Seizing upon the inspired gimmick of using Barbie and Ken dolls to sympathetically recount the story of the pop star's death from anorexia, he spent months making miniature dishes, chairs, costumes, Kleenex and Ex-Lax boxes, and Carpenters' records to create the film's intricate, doll-size mise-en-scene. The result was both audacious and accomplished as the dolls seemingly ceased to be dolls leaving the audience weeping for the tragic singer.

It's a chilly day off for me. I did tons of errands this morning and was so pleased to find a two-hour block of "Bewitched" when I got home. I haven't seen it in years. It really is a great sitcom. What were your favorite episodes or aspects of the show? Apparently,according to my mother, when I was four or five I used to run around the house yelling, "Doctor Bombay! Come right away!" whenever the re-runs were on. One of my best friends told me that he would actually take out a broom from the kitchen closet and "ride" it around the living room during the opening credits. A "dialing the phone with a pencil" moment, I would say.

An aggressive owl is terrorizing the residents of a small Dutch town with a campaign of seemingly random attacks. The bird has been swooping from the sky without warning and gouging the flesh of the townsfolk using its sharp talons. “It was like having a brick laced with nails thrown at your head,” one victim, Niels Verkooijen, told the Dutch news program Hart van Nederland. The attacks are taking place in the town of Purmerend, which lies about 12 miles north of the Dutch capital Amsterdam. The vicious bird has become a media sensation in the Netherlands, where it has been dubbed the “terreuruil” or “terror owl”. The town’s authorities are advising residents to carry umbrellas if they leave their homes at night in order to fend off assaults by the bird. The town has applied for a permit to catch the owl, which is a protected species – a wild eagle owl. The Press Association news agency reports that authorities suspect the owl was once kept in captivity because eagle owls are not normally aggressive. The bird has attacked a number of residents from an assisted living complex at the town for people with disabilities. A spokesperson for the Prinsenstichting centre said the owl had attacked 20 residents there in recent weeks, with some requiring stitches.

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!)

Weeks before the Oscars were handed out Sunday, studios were already taking meetings with awards consultants for next year’s best picture contenders. What movies might we be hearing about again (and again ... and again) later this year? An early stab at a top 10, in alphabetical order: “Brooklyn,” (Fox Searchlight, release TBA): Searchlight paid $9 million at Sundance for this exquisite immigrant love story — and that might end up being a bargain price. Set in 1950s New York, it follows a homesick Irish woman (Saoirse Ronan) struggling to adapt to her new life until she meets a sweet Italian plumber (Emory Cohen). It’s beautifully crafted, emotionally turbulent and sports a superb lead turn by the 20-year-old Ronan, making good on the promise she first showed in “Atonement.” “Carol,” (The Weinstein Co., fall): The latest from Todd Haynes (“Far from Heaven”), a drama about a married woman (Cate Blanchett) embarking on a lesbian romance with a younger woman (Rooney Mara) in the early 1950s, will likely premiere at Cannes this May. “Demolition,” (Fox Searchlight, fall): Director Jean-Marc Vallee (“Dallas Buyers Club,” “Wild”) knows how to win Oscar nominations for his actors, which might mean Jake Gyllenhaal will finally get his due for this drama about an investment banker widower whose world is changed when he meets a single mother (Naomi Watts). “In the Heart of the Sea,” (Warner Bros., Dec. 11): Ron Howard’s historical thriller about the 1820 sinking of the whaleship Essex was moved to a prime awards release date after being initially slated for March. The studio has a strong history of turning quality commercial movies (“Argo,” “American Sniper”) into Oscar contenders. “Joy,” (20th Century Fox, Christmas): David O. Russell. Jennifer Lawrence. They’ve been to the dance together twice before (“Silver Linings Playbook,” “American Hustle”), so why doubt this biographical dramedy about the Long Island single mom who invented the Miracle Mop? “Money Monster,” (TriStar, TBA): George Clooney plays a self-serving TV stock huckster (paging Jim Cramer!) taken hostage by a gunman on air and forced to come clean. Jodie Foster directs; Julia Roberts costars. Expect Clooney to have plenty of fun promoting this one. “The Revenant,” (20th Century Fox, Christmas): In between stocking his mantle with awards, “Birdman” director-producer-writer Alejandro G. Inarritu spent the past few months shooting this revenge-themed western about a frontiersman (Leonardo DiCaprio) mauled by a bear and left
Oscars 2016: It's not too early to consider the next best picture race
Did it help his career after starring in a movie that is a record box office hit? People know his name now, so he should be starring in better films.
I just heard this on TV. Can you name 3 movies she's been in and 3 songs of hers- in under 10 seconds? Go.
The poor thing posed for her mugshot.
I used to love her. She seemed witty, down to earth and enormously talented. Now she's just a smarmy, self absorbed asshole (see any of her acceptance speeches for the past 4 years). Plus, she's dating a man who legally changed his last name to RockNRoll. I'm just so over her at this point.
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. (see link)
21 Rand Paul Quotes That Expose What a Con Job Libertarianism Is
Mine would be that friendships will mean more than love. Make friends and other good things in life will follow. Also stop being so passive when it comes to looking for love. You're acting like a spiderweb waiting for people to come to you. Don't be afraid to be the first one to say hello.

Moscow (CNN)Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was killed Friday night, shot several times from a car on a bridge he was walking across, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation said in a statement Saturday. He was deputy prime minister in the late 1990s under President Boris Yeltsin and had been one of current President Vladimir Putin's most vocal critics. Putin condemned the killing of Nemtsov, Russian state broadcaster, Russia Today, said early Saturday. "The Russian President expresses deep condolences to the near and dear of Boris Nemtsov who died tragically," a spokesman for Putin told Russian state news agency Itar-Tass. Putin ordered three agencies to put together a task force to investigate the killing, Itar-Tass reported. A criminal case has been opened for murder and weapons trafficking, the investigative committee said. The bridge was not far from the Kremlin in a part of the city normally busy on a Friday night. Police were pulling over white cars near the scene of the shooting, a CNN crew observed. Nemtsov's death comes two days before a large opposition rally is set to take place in Moscow. Nemtsov, who was in his mid-50s, had been arrested several times in the past for speaking out against the Kremlin. The most recent came in 2011 when he protested the results of parliamentary elections and in 2012 when tens of thousands protested against Putin. In a restaurant interview with CNN's Anthony Bourdain last year he lamented the situation for business owners. "This is a country of corruption. And if you have business, you are in a very unsafe situation. Everybody can press you and destroy your business. That's it," Nemtsov said. In the same interview, he did offer a bit of optimism. "This is my country. The Russian people are in bit of trouble. Russian court doesn't work. Russian education decline every year. I believe that Russia has a chance to be free. Has a chance. It's difficult, but we must do it," he said. Another one of Nemtsov's criticisms was over the 2014 Winter Olympics held in Sochi. Nemtsov published a report in 2013 describing the Sochi games as one of the most "outrageous swindles" in recent Russian history. He claimed that up to 60% of the final cost -- or $30 billion -- had been embezzled. Peter Baker, the author of "Kremlin Rising" and a New York Times reporter, told CNN that Nemtsov used to be powerful but had been marginalized since Putin was elected. "He was a person who had been fierce in his criticism of Putin. He'd clearly gotten under Putin's skin on a number of occasions. A number of people had become his enemies," Baker said Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said Saturday "it is hard to believe" that Nemtsov was killed. "I have no doubt that the murderers will be brought to justice. Sooner or later. Rest in peace," Poroshenko said via Twitter.
Police in Massachusetts have charged an 18-year-old honor student with involuntary manslaughter for her alleged role in the death of classmate Conrad Roy, 18, who took his own life last July. According to prosecutors, Michelle Carter of Plainville, Massachusetts "strongly influenced" Roy's decision to kill himself, privately advocating he poison himself with carbon monoxide while publicly expressing concern about the missing teen's whereabouts and safety. From The Boston Globe: After writing one friend to say, "I'm losing all hope that he's even alive," Carter texted Roy, "Let me know when you're gonna do it," according to a police report. Carter, now a senior at King Philip High School, had a "full understanding" of the suicide plan, and in the days leading up to Roy's death "not only encouraged Conrad to take his own life, she questioned him repeatedly as to when and why he hadn't done it yet," the report said.
Add Jeremy Renner to the rash of holiday season break-ups -- his wife wants out of their marriage after just 10 months. According to docs filed earlier this month, Renner's wife Sonni Pacheco is seeking the split over irreconcilable differences -- but get this ... she's demanding he return her stolen passport, birth certificate and SS card. The couple just copped to their secret marriage back in September ... and every indication is the break-up will be nasty. In her divorce docs ... Pacheco says they have a prenup, but adds it should be torn up because it was based on fraud. There's no further detail about what she means by "fraud." Pacheco wants the moon ... she's asking for spousal support and physical custody of their 1-year-old daughter, Ava Berlin. She's also looking to use the Range Rover until the smoke clears, and for Renner to pony up her rent and moving expenses.
Say it isn't so, Jeremy! Fraud? Not again.

At least receiving. Although I enjoy it, I can never get 'clean down there'. Always fudgy. I just can't see leaving the bed to repair to the bathroom for a dump, then a douche, then a shower. Then possible leakage. The sound of me blasting shart into the commode has to be a passion-killer.

Somebody make this fucktard go away already!!!! Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson told a CPAC crowd on Thursday that the U.S.A. should be run by Christians, and not any others — adding omniously that “we got too many ‘any others’ in the White House.” Robertson marked his receiving the Defender of the First Amendment award with a long speech that covered everything from George Washington to genital herpes. After a fawning twenty-minute introduction from the heads of Breitbart and Citizens United — who jointly presented the award for Robertson’s firm stance after his controversial comments on gay marriage nearly got his show canceled — Robertson delivered a rambling 40-minute address that nearly derailed CPAC’s tightly scheduled political pageantry. In his speech, Robertson used George Washington and James Madison to argue that CPAC attendees shouldn’t be drinking. He also marveled that 110 million Americans have sexually transmitted diseases, calling genital herpes the “revenge of the hippies!” and noting that neither the Nazis, Communists or Islamists had “any Jesus with them.” The Duck Commander, however, seemed to avoid discussion of homosexuality, the topic that originally brought him to political prominence.

Removed from ventilator, Bobbi Kristina Brown's condition unchanged: source Thu Feb 19, 2015 3:05pm EST (Reuters) - Doctors have taken Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of late singer Whitney Houston, off the ventilator that has helped her breathe since she was found unresponsive in a bathtub last month, but no decisions have been made to take her off life support, a family source said on Thursday. The source, who declined to be identified, said Brown's overall condition has not changed. Removing the breathing tube was a standard course of practice to avoid infection, the source said. Family members have said Brown, 21, the only child of singers Bobby Brown and Houston, is fighting for her life at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta after she was discovered on Jan. 31 face down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban home. They have said little about the aspiring singer's treatment or medical prognosis, and Bobby Brown has asked for privacy. Police in Roswell, Georgia, are treating the case as a criminal investigation and have been questioning people about the circumstances leading up to Brown being found in the tub. Brown's famous mother, a six-time Grammy Award winner and actress who battled substance abuse, drowned in a hotel bathtub in Beverly Hills, California, on Feb. 11, 2012. Authorities said cocaine use and heart disease contributed to Houston's death at age 48.

It's 2016, and Hollywood has just announced that more movies will feature full frontal nudity by male actors. BRING ON THE DONGS. So what movie will you pitch to The Powers That Be, and who will you cast in it?
I was just thinking that RHOA and RHOBH are about to end, and this was the first time Bravo would have no Real Housewives airing, as RHONJ is on hold, and RHOC and RHONY are not ready to air. Until I read that Housewives of Melbourne has been given a primetime slot on Bravo in early March. Season 2!!! In my opinion, this may be the best of them all. So keeeep your Chinese Whisp-aaas to yourselves!

I'm one of the gays that also love watching straight pron because of the guys. Seeing the other thread about straight pron stars, I thought I'd start one with the link to who is considered the hottest by this particular website. I would add James Dean and Seth Gamble to the list. Some of the ones listed have also done gay pron . . . for instance the ever-hot Wolf Hudson. Pics from the thread are not naked but may not be safe for work either. Enjoy!
Anyone watching this mess? Sample quote: "There is nothing more gay than Ryan Reynolds"
I'd say this one qualifies by any standard.

The show is a Saturday morning thing and every week, he rescues an adorable dog and trains it so it can have its new forever home. Brandon is HOT. I would sit, stay, heel, roll over and fetch for this hot fucker any day! Hell, I might even let him put a leash on me. (Well, no, but he's fucking hot.)
Is there a better website out there covering gay men in media? AfterElton has so deviated from their initial focus and philosphy that it''s become pure crap.

Can she get any more obnoxious?
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."
Netflix just added the full series (a bit odd since it actually hasn't finished airing). Is it any good? Reviews on IMDB seem to be good, but it looks very British.
If Bush runs for president, some of his closest aides will be individuals who support legalizing same-sex marriage. The hires led to chatter among Republicans that Bush could be positioned as "the gay-friendly Republican in the 2016 field." Bush, however, rejected that characterization Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference during his conversation with Fox News host Sean Hannity. "No. I believe in traditional marriage," said Bush when Hannity asked him whether he's changing his position on the issue.

I am way late to the game on this one. I am going to be vague as I do not want to spoil the show for anyone... I am into the 8th episode of the 2nd season.. Random observations Has Robin Wright ever been better? She is amazing. The best written character on the show. What strikes me the most is what she doesn't say. The character says very little in a sense. It is what that is left unsaid that what makes her so enticing to watch. The first season was SO MUCH better than this 2nd season. My favorite angle was the balance of the journalists and the politicians. After what happened with Zoey and then her journalist boyfriend, it appears this angle is done? Peter Russo is by far my favorite male character. What a brilliant job this guy did... The thing about this show that really pissed me off is that it tricked me. Once Francis did what he did to Peter, the show veered into pure soap opera. Then the first episode of the 2nd season with Zoey? It was brilliant and shocking, but pure soap opera.. I had no idea until late in the first season what a loon Kevin Spacey's character is. The show is almost campy.. still enjoyable, but its basically trashy fun.
The previous thread "Most annoying NPR voice" reached 600 in May 2013. When it began in May 2010, Eleanor Beardsley got the most slams. Then Zoe Chace was hired by Planet Money. There were some really funny posts about the queen of vocal fry.

Seriously, I just watched the recent update with him. No passion, no chemistry. He started off bad, then improved as videos went on, but recently he has not even been bothering. He is clearly just going through the motions for a paycheck. Can we quit pretending like he is hot shit?

A private Christian college in South Carolina, after two gay athletes came out in the media, has very publicly banned homosexuality, and issued a threatening statement. Last year volleyball players Drew Davis and Juan Varona, both openly gay at Erskine, a rural South Carolina private Christian college founded in 1839, were featured in a very intimate Outsports article. The piece detailed how Davis was inadvertently outed by his ex-boyfriend, how his father disowned him and his mother told him he'd be unemployed for the rest of his life, and how he attempted suicide. It also told of the strong support Davis and Varona have received from their fellow teammates. This year, under the leadership of Dr. Paul Kooistra (photo), the school's new president, Erskine has just released a damning policy statement that bans homosexuality, labeling it "sin and contrary to the will of the Creator." Under a section titled "In Action," the Erskine policy notes, "We believe the Bible teaches that all sexual activity outside the covenant of marriage is sinful and therefore ultimately destructive to the parties involved." The policy statement is also foreboding and threatening, commanding, "members of the Erskine community are expected to follow the teachings of scripture concerning matters of human sexuality and institutional decisions will be made in light of this position." How are Erskine's two openly-gay students expected to interpret that statement, that "institutional decisions will be made in light of this position," and how are the students who are LGBTQ expected to feel safe in that environment? That's not an extreme question. Hidden at the bottom of a financial report to the college's trustees, a statement on the school's website reads, "the Student Services and Athletic Committee submitted and the full board approved a Statement on Human Sexuality. The administration will add the statement to its official manuals and determine how it will be integrated into campus culture and procedures." Doesn't that sound like the school is targeting its two gay players? Varona told Outsports' Cyd Zeigler he is "disappointed" by his school's statement, "sad and worried for other gay people," and added it took him "by surprise." He says, "the school took several steps back instead of progressing towards a future where everyone can be treated as an equal." "I understand the religious stand on adultery, which is part of the Ten Commandments in the Bible, and that would apply to heterosexual and homosexual people." Zeigler has a few thoughts for Erskine College's leadership. It's insightful that Varona would mention the Ten Commandments. There's another Commandment among the 10 that's given higher priority in all versions of the Bible: "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy." We're assuming this means that Erskine College will also ban all of its athletic teams from practicing or competing on Sundays. That's unfortunate, because on Sunday, April 19, the men's volleyball, men's golf and women's golf teams have tournament games scheduled. The following Sunday four teams - softball, women's lacrosse, women's tennis and men's tennis - have matches scheduled. For the school to ban homosexuality but not ban these competitions on the sabbath would be the highest form of hypocrisy.

Banksy's work is now in the Gaza Strip. The artist, who uses public spaces for his often-provocative murals, posted images that he said were of art he created in the Gaza Strip, along with a two-minute video of life in the Palestinian territory, titled "Make this the year YOU discover a new destination." Here are some of the murals, which you can also see on Banksy's own website. Banksy writes about this image: "A local man came up and said 'Please — what does this mean?' I explained I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website — but on the internet people only look at pictures of kittens."

JEFFERSON — An Ashtabula native soap opera star was charged Friday with operating a vehicle while intoxicated and vehicular assault, according to the Ashtabula County Prosecutor’s office. Freddie M. Smith, 26, was legally drunk Oct. 7 when he crashed his car on Route 84 in Kingsville Township, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol. His girlfriend, actress Alyssa Tabit, 27, of North Hollywood, Calif., was seriously injured in the crash, according to OHP reports. Smith’s blood alcohol test result was .093, when the legal limit in Ohio is .08, according to OHP reports. Vehicular assault is a fourth-degree felony, and the OVI charge is a first-degree misdemeanor, Ashtabula County Assistant Prosecutor Cecilia Cooper said. An arraignment date has not been set, she said. Smith, who now lives in Los Angeles, Calif., lost control of the Mazda 6 he was driving on a curve in the road, just east of Dibble Road, according to the OHP report. OHP troopers suspected speed and alcohol were factors in the crash. Tabit is recovering from her injuries. Troopers received the results from Smith’s blood alcohol test on Monday. Smith plays the part of Sonny Kiriakis on the daytime soap opera, “Days of Our Lives.” According to OHP, Smith’s car crossed the center line at about 12:40 a.m. Oct. 7, traveled to the left side of the road and hit a culvert, causing the vehicle to flip end over end. When the vehicle came to rest, Tabit was temporarily trapped inside. She was flown by medical helicopter to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital and underwent surgery. She is recovering from her injuries. Smith was treated and released from UH Conneaut Medical Center for minor injuries. They were in town visiting Smith’s family. According to his fan page, Smith is back on the set in Los Angeles.

IMHO there is nothing sexier than a big, tall East Indian guy. Where can I find one? Am I going to have to become a Hindu or Sikh and pick them up at the temple?
I'm guessing the answer is no! I think she actually started to believe that whole silly "greatest living actress" nonsense herself. Her mannered performances, self-gratifying awards acceptance speeches and that constant smirk on her face are becoming really painful to watch! And I think even her biggest fans can admit that some of her shenanigans (like that Walt Disney/Emma Thompson thing) were really embarassing. Can you imagine someone ripping Margaret Thatcher to shreds before giving her an award for The Iron Lady? Nope, but she can get away with something like this because she's Meryl fucking Streep. I just hope she'd go away, for a couple of years at least, so we can get some rest from her.
I'd take Iraq.

WTF! That Lilliputian scrunched up between the hulking amazons on GMA must be symbolic of the extinction or slave role of men that's on the horizon, the way they always pan out and show that petite pygmy with his gargantuan amazonian captors. You can't tell me that's not deliberate on the part of ABC because TV is nothing but a propaganda machine for the powerful. If you doubt it think about this. If you're an American man you're more likely to be unemployed than your female counterparts, not to mention, more than half of all middle management jobs in America are now held by women and the US with the highest incarceration rate on the entire globe by a very wide margin, men make up the vast majority of those that we are holding in our prisons. Let's face it. Men are not men anymore. They're a bunch of Peter Pans, totally emasculated.

Iowa authorities arrested Jennifer Jane Olney on Tuesday after she kicked her daughter while under the influence… of hand sanitizer. Yes, hand sanitizer. The 48-year-old woman is being charged with child endangerment. Police initially arrived at Olney’s home after they received a tip regarding a possible medication and hand sanitizer overdose. (You can overdose on hand sanitizer? Mind blown.) Once inside the residence, cops noticed Olney slurring her speech and in no condition to care for her daughter.

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.

I thought I had depression licked but this winter is really doing a number on me. I feel hopeless, helpless, and like life has no meaning whatsoever. Everything seems boring and impossible. I feel like I can't even bear to go outside and shovel, or make dinner. When I think about having to do anything (like get up and go to work tomorrow), I feel intense anxiety. I know that this too shall pass, but the discomfort is overwhelming.

Donald Trump tells strategists 'you're hired' for potential 2016 presidential run The real-estate mogul insists this time his ambitions are for real, telling the Washington Post ‘I’m doing this because the country is in serious trouble’ Tom McCarthy in New York, Wednesday 25 February 2015 21.35 GMT For once, he’s hiring. The real-estate mogul Donald Trump, as famous for firing people on reality television as for anything else, has announced that he is adding staff in what he insists is really, this time, a serious look at a presidential run. Trump described preparations he is making for a purported potential presidential run in an interview with the Washington Post. He has, he said, “enlisted several strategists”; “retained an attorney”; “alerted GOP officials”; and turned down a renewal season of Celebrity Apprentice. An early obstacle Trump would face, should he indeed decide to run for the Republican nomination for president in 2016, would be wariness on the part of voters who have heard him talk before about such a run without ever seeing one materialize. In 2008 and again in 2012, Trump touted the possibility over months of statements in the media. But then he did not run. By trusting his stated intentions once again, the electorate could risk being made a Charlie Brown, taking one more run at kicking the football only to see it, at the last minute, being pulled away again. In the past, politicians such as Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin have been accused of running for president or talking about running for president in order to sell books or burnish a personal brand, instead of actually to win the presidency. Trump is said to enjoy being at the center of attention, which is where his talking about running for president sometimes places him, although he has other ways of getting there. Trump told the Post he was serious this time. “Everybody feels I’m doing this just to have fun or because it’s good for the brand,” Trump said. “Well, it’s not fun. I’m not doing this for enjoyment. I’m doing this because the country is in serious trouble.” Next stop: Iowa.

I always have, since I was a kid. Loved when the daytime talk shows like "Donahue" and "Geraldo" would have them on. Loved when the "exercise" magazines featured male dance troupes. I almost like men wearing almost nothing than nothing at all. I love finding converted to DVD old stripper videos. Yeah, the mes are greasy and long-haired (80s) and often straight (though I don't always believe that every troupe is sooo straight and there are no gay men. Come on.) Weirdly, nowadays it seems like more and more male dancers have their dancers just in small posing straps with a full back. Makes no difference as it's still hot but anybody know why this is?

What's wrong w/ me? Shouldn't I feel something or am I just too old to have that now (34). In my 07-11 relationship I really had serious feelings for the guy, but I've been single so long now that I almost wonder if LTR is just annoying me...or if it's the guy. He's done some stuff to get on my nerves - most notably being wrong & arguing vociferously despite being wrong (he's a lawyer & has no humility about being wrong). There are a lot of examples, but the worst is his obsession that I "gave him" this really bad sore throat because "of how many guys I slept with" and how I must be harboring pathogens on my dick. He repeated this so many times that I had to get a (negative) chlamydia/gonorrhea test just to shut him up - and lo & behold he still blames me for getting sick because he "never gets sick and I must have harbored *some* bacteria" (defying medical science here). Not to mention, I got sick after him...(meaning I caught it from him) - and then he said I just got a cold from elsewhere. The whole "I got sick from you - you're a slut" would be fine if he said it once, but he has said it about 20 times. He thinks I'm a slut bc he saw me on scruff for a few mos before he met me...meaning (to him) that I've slept with everyone in the neighborhood. So, maybe I am legitimately annoyed...I don't feel the need to "dump" him. It's just that I feel nothing.
Anyone watching this show? Fucking hilarious.
So I was at Steamworks last Friday and there were several fellows dressed in their leather duds. Chaps, straps, caps, etc. They strutted around the joint like they owned it. A few of them even put on a bit of a show in front of the DJ booth. They stood on the bench and proceeded to perform on each other for the delight of those gathered to watch.%0D\ %0D\ It occured to me then and there that leather men are really no different than drag queens. It''s just another kind of dressing up, acting out, and performing. It''s a bit of fun and fantasy for a night. "Dress up and put on a show" kind of thing. %0D\ %0D\ And the sense of entitlement they have is similar to that of drag queens in bars. %0D\ %0D\ I''ve never been to a leather fair but I can only assume it''s similar in purpose to a drag ball.%0D\ %0D\ So, am I right or am I right?

I'm in my 30s and I have never understood why they are so revered. What did they bring to the music scene that changed everything?

What am I missing?
I don't see any difference between the way she sings and the way Mandy Moore sings. And at least Mandy Moore knows how to dance somewhat. It seems to me like she's been blessed by an awful a lot of good luck. Why do so many good song writers want to give her their songs is what I like to know. "Please don't stop the music" and "We found love" are extremely catchy songs that would make anyone who can sing decently popular. What do you think?

How sadly banal! ********* "We seemed to have a normal relationship inside of a crazy world," Gordon says of her marriage. "And in fact, it ended in a kind of normal way—midlife crisis, starstruck woman." Some years ago, a woman Gordon declines to name became a part of the Sonic Youth world, first as the girlfriend of an erstwhile band member and later as a partner on a literary project with Moore. Eventually, Gordon discovered a text message and confronted him about having an affair. They went to counseling, but he kept seeing the other woman. "We never got to the point where we could just get rid of her so I could decide what I wanted to do," Gordon says. "Thurston was carrying on this whole double life with her. He was really like a lost soul."

R60, (from the Clooney getting married thread) I'm on FB under my name. I've just arranged for professional pics; what's there now is another amateur shot. I'm also on Gmail. Again, it's under my name (first&middle.) I'm calling your bluff. I'm in discussion for a few new "faux" reality series, and just left one because of the pay. I've also responded to another local comedy performance opportunity. I am NOT looking to be a star, as I'm a comedy/character actress. Right, the ditzy blond that everyone else teases. At least I'm told that I have "excellent, excellent sense of timing." We know casting isn't based on talent or even looks. Since I'm not bi or a super slut, I never expected to have a major career. Too bad I'm not related to Hal Kanter, as everyone asks. Whoever he was. I hinted at what Mr. Clooney promised to help me reveal, on last night's free question to a psychic thread. It would have been polite if he had told me to look elsewhere for representation, after I was told not to sign with a different manager. Obviously I must have totally misjudged his character and level of honesty. I've now moved on. There are those on DL that will always insult evryone else. I accept that fact.

Gay couple serving life sentences to marry in prison Convicted murderers Mikhail Gallatinov and Marc Goodwin are to get married at Full Sutton prison near York, but will not be able to share a cell Helen Pidd, northern editor, and Eric Allison, prisons correspondent; Friday 20 February 2015 17.28 GMT A gay couple detained in one of the UK’s toughest prisons are to marry after conducting an illicit relationship in the library. Both men are serving life sentences for murder in Full Sutton prison near York, which houses some of the most dangerous offenders in the country. Mikhail Gallatinov, a convicted paedophile, was jailed in 1997 for the murder of Adrian Kaminsky – who he had met through a gay chat line. He will soon marry Marc Goodwin, who in 2007 was sentenced to life behind bars for a homophobic killing on Blackpool seafront. He kicked and punched to death his victim, Malcolm Benfold, 57. The pair will wed in a ceremony inside the prison next month, the Mirror reported. It is believed to be the first same sex marriage or civil partnership to occur on the prison estate since the equal marriage act came into force last year. A source who visits Full Sutton regularly told the Guardian the relationship was well known inside the jail. “These two guys were on separate wings at Full Sutton and used to meet – and have sex – in the prison library. Then they managed to get on the same wing and had sex regularly,” she said. Since submitting their application for marriage, the men have been split up and housed on different wings, the source claimed. Full Sutton has a “Rainbow” group, where gay, bisexual and transgender prisoners can meet to discuss issues and problems. Heterosexual prisoners are also allowed to join the discussions, which are chaired by a prison officer. Though not official policy, health care staff distribute condoms to prisoners who ask for them, the source said. According to the Mirror, the couple gave their jobs as bar staff on the notice of marriage, which was posted at the register office in Beverley, East Yorkshire. The notice, which also describes Gallatinov as a chef, says the wedding will take place at “Sutton View, Moor Lane, Full Sutton” – neglecting to mention that it is a prison. A Ministry of Justice spokesman refused to comment on the marriage, saying: “We do not comment on individuals. “Prisoners are entitled to apply to be married in prison under the Marriages Act 1983. This would take place at no cost to the taxpayer and there is no possibility they would share a cell.” Under the terms of the Marriage Act 1983, all prisoners can exercise their right to marry under civil law in the place of their detention, and this right is reinforced by the Human Rights Act. When passed, the 1983 law was intended to allow heterosexual prisoners to marry their partners from the outside world. The logic was that prisoners should largely enjoy the same human rights as their free counterparts, and that building and retaining family ties can help with the rehabilitation process. But with the introduction of the Civil Partnerships Act 2004 and the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act coming into force last year, gay inmates are now legally allowed to marry each other inside jail, causing logistical issues for prison staff. There is no rule prohibiting sex or relationships between prisoners, but prison officers do not allow inmates to have sexual relationships, according to the Commission on Sex in Prison, carried out by the Howard League for Penal Reform. Frances Crook, the Howard League’s chief executive, supports marriage in prison, saying: “As a general principle, I think that prisoners should be allowed the same civil rights as people outside. They are in prison for public safety reasons, not to stop them asserting their civil rights.” But she said it would be fair for the couple in Full Sutton to be split up, so as not to give them a privilege heterosexual prisoners cannot enjoy. She wants to see prisons build private family rooms where prisoners can meet their families in private. “That’s what they do in Norway, and in long-term prisons in France there are little cottages where families can spend two or three days together,” said Crook. Access to such facilities should also be extended to inmates married to each other, she suggested. It is impossible to accurately assess the prevalence of same-sex relationships in prison, according Roger Ingham, professor of health and community psychology at the Centre for Sexual Health Research at the University of Southampton. He said he had never heard of a gay marriage or civil partnership between prisoners inside a jail, but predicted this would not be the last. “Given the increasing acceptance of same sex relationships in society at large, one would imagine that there are more of these relationships going on in prison too. The authorities will have to respond to these changes,” he said. The Guardian spoke to one man who was recently released after serving a long sentence at a high security jail. He said: “Paradoxically, given that legal and cultural progressions have almost rendered the ‘gay liberation front’ redundant in the UK, the situation in prisons for homosexual men is arguably more difficult now. “Though engaging in consensual sexual activity is no longer illegal, when prisoners do so other institutional sanctions and disciplinary actions are deployed to obstruct, punish and deter. The easiest pretext for the authorities is always to pretend that ‘security’ or ‘good order and discipline’ are threatened when two men are momentarily beyond the panoptic disciplinary gaze of authority – actually a legal necessity since legalisation enjoins that ‘acts’ be ‘in private’, a rare commodity indeed in prison.”
Psychopath Mikhail Ivan Gallatinov, 40, will next month tie the knot with gay-bashing killer Marc Goodwin, 31 One of the killers preparing for Britain’s first same sex marriage in jail is serving life for battering a homosexual to death and the other for strangling a male lover. Psychopath Mikhail Ivan Gallatinov, 40, will next month tie the knot with gay-bashing killer Marc Goodwin, 31. The pair, who met inside, have been given permission to wed at Full Sutton Prison, East Yorks. But justice chiefs have said they will not share a cell afterwards and the ceremony will not be funded by taxpayers. A notice of their marriage was posted at the register office in nearby Beverley. Convicted paedophile Gallatinov was 23, when he was jailed in 1997 for throttling Adrian Kaminsky, 28. Judge Rhys Davies QC branded the murder “a cold-blooded, well planned, callous, chilling and apparently motiveless killing”. Locking the brute up for a minimum of 20 years, he told him: “You are a dangerous young man and you present a considerable risk to the public. “The defendant acted without pity, concern or remorse. He was described by one of the psychiatrists as a dangerous man. "He does not suffer from mental illness but is wholly devoid of moral judgment. “He has already served a substantial sentence for offences against children.” Gallatinov of Moston, Manchester, will be eligible for parole next year. He was under surveillance by police when he murdered Mr Kaminsky. He even took photos of his victim with a camera detectives lent him. After the killing he was stopped on a motorway by officers who found Mr Kaminsky’s near-naked body in the boot of his car. The victim’s terrified mother told a review hearing she believes Gallatinov “would do something” to her and her daughter if he is ever released. They sat through the trial in Manchester, Goodwin, of Airdrie, near Glasgow, was 23 when ordered to serve a minimum of 18 years in 2007 for the shocking murder of Malcolm Benfold, 57, on Blackpool promenade. He was the leader of a three-strong gang who roamed the Lancashire resort looking for homosexuals to beat up. Mr Benfold’s sister Wendy Bridge visited the killer in jail. She revealed: “He said he was really sorry and wished there was still the death penalty as he would be dead too.” It is believed Goodwin will serve at least another 10 years. The two lags describe their jobs on the marriage notice as bar staff. There is no mention of the ceremony being in a jail. The Ministry of Justice said: “Prisoners are entitled to apply to be married in prison under the Marriages Act 1983. "This would take place at no cost to the taxpayer and there is no possibility they would share a cell.” Prison marriages Prisoners have had the right to wed in jail since the Marriages Act in 1983. They are also backed by EU human rights law. Marriage is considered a basic human right, alongside access to education, health care and freedom of religion. Since the law changed, some notorious prisoners have tied the knot with brides from outside while doing time. Gangster Reggie Kray wed English graduate Roberta Jones, then 38, in Maidstone jail, Kent in 1997. The Kray Twin was serving a life sentence for the murder of Jack “The Hat” McVitie. And Mickey McAvoy, leader of the gang which carried out the £26million gold bullion robbery at the Brink’s-Mat warehouse, married his second wife Kathy in the gym of Leicester prison in 1986. He was serving a 25-year sentence for masterminding the raid three years earlier. Since gay marriage became legal in March last year, the authorities cannot deny gay prisoners the right to wed in jail.
Killers to marry in first gay prison wedding and one was jailed for a homophobic murder
Once education, marital status and occupations are considered, the 'gender wage gap' all but disappears. April 8 is "Equal Pay Day," an annual event to raise awareness regarding the so-called gender wage gap. As President Obama said in the State of the Union address, women "still make 77 cents for every dollar a man earns," a claim echoed by the National Committee on Pay Equity, the American Association of University Women and other progressive groups. The 23% gap implies that women work an extra 68 days to earn the same pay as a man. Mr. Obama advocates allowing women to sue for wage discrimination, with employers bearing the burden of proving they did not discriminate. But the numbers bandied about to make the claim of widespread discrimination are fundamentally misleading and economically illogical. In its annual report, "Highlights of Women's Earnings in 2012," the Bureau of Labor Statistics states that "In 2012, women who were full-time wage and salary workers had median usual weekly earnings of $691. On average in 2012, women made about 81% of the median earnings of male full-time wage and salary workers ($854)." Give or take a few percentage points, the BLS appears to support the president's claim. But every "full-time" worker, as the BLS notes, is not the same: Men were almost twice as likely as women to work more than 40 hours a week, and women almost twice as likely to work only 35 to 39 hours per week. Once that is taken into consideration, the pay gap begins to shrink. Women who worked a 40-hour week earned 88% of male earnings. Then there is the issue of marriage and children. The BLS reports that single women who have never married earned 96% of men's earnings in 2012. The supposed pay gap appears when marriage and children enter the picture. Child care takes mothers out of the labor market, so when they return they have less work experience than similarly-aged males. Many working mothers seek jobs that provide greater flexibility, such as telecommuting or flexible hours. Not all jobs can be flexible, and all other things being equal, those which are will pay less than those that do not. Education also matters. Even within groups with the same educational attainment, women often choose fields of study, such as sociology, liberal arts or psychology, that pay less in the labor market. Men are more likely to major in finance, accounting or engineering. And as the American Association of University Women reports, men are four times more likely to bargain over salaries once they enter the job market. Risk is another factor. Nearly all the most dangerous occupations, such as loggers or iron workers, are majority male and 92% of work-related deaths in 2012 were to men. Dangerous jobs tend to pay higher salaries to attract workers. Also: Males are more likely to pursue occupations where compensation is risky from year to year, such as law and finance. Research shows that average pay in such jobs is higher to compensate for that risk. While the BLS reports that full-time female workers earned 81% of full-time males, that is very different than saying that women earned 81% of what men earned for doing the same jobs, while working the same hours, with the same level of risk, with the same educational background and the same years of continuous, uninterrupted work experience, and assuming no gender differences in family roles like child care. In a more comprehensive study that controlled for most of these relevant variables simultaneously—such as that from economists June and Dave O'Neill for the American Enterprise Institute in 2012—nearly all of the 23% raw gender pay gap cited by Mr. Obama can be attributed to factors other than discrimination. The O'Neills conclude that, "labor market discrimination is unlikely to account for more than 5% but may not be present at all." These gender-disparity claims are also economically illogical. If women were paid 77 cents on the dollar, a profit-oriented firm could dramatically cut labor costs by replacing male employees with females. Progressives assume that businesses nickel-and-dime suppliers, customers, consultants, anyone with whom they come into contact—yet ignore a great opportunity to reduce wages costs by 23%. They don't ignore the opportunity because it doesn't exist. Women are not in fact paid 77 cents on the dollar for doing the same work as men. Administration officials are (very) occasionally challenged on their discrimination claims. The reply is that even if lower average female pay is a result of women's choices, those choices are themselves driven by discrimination. Yet the choice of college major is quite free, and many colleges recruit women into high-paying science or math majors. Likewise, many women prefer to stay home with their children. If doing so allows their husbands to maximize their own earnings, it's not clear that the families are worse off. It makes no sense to sue employers for choices made by women years or decades earlier. The administration's claims regarding the gender pay gap are faulty, and its proposal to make it easier for women to sue employers for equal pay would create a disincentive for firms to hire women. Mr. Perry is a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and professor of economics and finance at the University of Michigan's Flint campus. Mr. Biggs is a resident scholar at AEI.

Prosecutor who accused Cristina Fernández de Kirchner of Iranian bomb cover-up shot dead
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Model Sonni Pacheco has filed for divorce from actor husband Jeremy Renner after 10 months of marriage, according to court documents filed in Los Angeles on Dec. 5. The petition cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the separation. Pacheco, in the petition, also seeks return of her stolen passport, birth certificate, and Social Security card as well as invalidation of their prenuptial agreement based on fraud. Pacheco and Renner have one child, Ava Berlin Renner, who is 20 months old. The two wed in secret on Jan. 13, 2014, and only confirmed their union to the press in September. Renner has 30 days to file a response to the summons and petition.
In early October, U.S. officials accused Iranian operatives of planning to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States on American soil. Iran denied the charges, but the episode has already managed to increase tensions between Washington and Tehran. Although the Obama administration has not publicly threatened to retaliate with military force, the allegations have underscored the real and growing risk that the two sides could go to war sometime soon -- particularly over Iran’s advancing nuclear program. For several years now, starting long before this episode, American pundits and policymakers have been debating whether the United States should attack Iran and attempt to eliminate its nuclear facilities. Proponents of a strike have argued that the only thing worse than military action against Iran would be an Iran armed with nuclear weapons. Critics, meanwhile, have warned that such a raid would likely fail and, even if it succeeded, would spark a full-fledged war and a global economic crisis. They have urged the United States to rely on nonmilitary options, such as diplomacy, sanctions, and covert operations, to prevent Iran from acquiring a bomb. Fearing the costs of a bombing campaign, most critics maintain that if these other tactics fail to impede Tehran’s progress, the United States should simply learn to live with a nuclear Iran. But skeptics of military action fail to appreciate the true danger that a nuclear-armed Iran would pose to U.S. interests in the Middle East and beyond. And their grim forecasts assume that the cure would be worse than the disease -- that is, that the consequences of a U.S. assault on Iran would be as bad as or worse than those of Iran achieving its nuclear ambitions. But that is a faulty assumption. The truth is that a military strike intended to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, if managed carefully, could spare the region and the world a very real threat and dramatically improve the long-term national security of the United States. DANGERS OF DETERRENCE Years of international pressure have failed to halt Iran’s attempt to build a nuclear program. The Stuxnet computer worm, which attacked control systems in Iranian nuclear facilities, temporarily disrupted Tehran’s enrichment effort, but a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency this past May revealed that the targeted plants have fully recovered from the assault. And the latest IAEA findings on Iran, released in November, provided the most compelling evidence yet that the Islamic Republic has weathered sanctions and sabotage, allegedly testing nuclear triggering devices and redesigning its missiles to carry nuclear payloads. The Institute for Science and International Security, a nonprofit research institution, estimates that Iran could now produce its first nuclear weapon within six months of deciding to do so. Tehran’s plans to move sensitive nuclear operations into more secure facilities over the course of the coming year could reduce the window for effective military action even further. If Iran expels IAEA inspectors, begins enriching its stockpiles of uranium to weapons-grade levels of 90 percent, or installs advanced centrifuges at its uranium-enrichment facility in Qom, the United States must strike immediately or forfeit its last opportunity to prevent Iran from joining the nuclear club. Some states in the region are doubting U.S. resolve to stop the program and are shifting their allegiances to Tehran. Others have begun to discuss launching their own nuclear initiatives to counter a possible Iranian bomb. For those nations and the United States itself, the threat will only continue to grow as Tehran moves closer to its goal. A nuclear-armed Iran would immediately limit U.S. freedom of action in the Middle East. With atomic power behind it, Iran could threaten any U.S. political or military initiative in the Middle East with nuclear war, forcing Washington to think twice before acting in the region. Iran’s regional rivals, such as Saudi Arabia, would likely decide to acquire their own nuclear arsenals, sparking an arms race. To constrain its geopolitical rivals, Iran could choose to spur proliferation by transferring nuclear technology to its allies -- other countries and terrorist groups alike. Having the bomb would give Iran greater cover for conventional aggression and coercive diplomacy, and the battles between its terrorist proxies and Israel, for example, could escalate. And Iran and Israel lack nearly all the safeguards that helped the United States and the Soviet Union avoid a nuclear exchange during the Cold War -- secure second-strike capabilities, clear lines of communication, long flight times for ballistic missiles from one country to the other, and experience managing nuclear arsenals. To be sure, a nuclear-armed Iran would not intentionally launch a suicidal nuclear war. But the volatile nuclear balance between Iran and Israel could easily spiral out of control as a crisis unfolds, resulting in a nuclear exchange between the two countries that could draw the United States in, as well. These security threats would require Washington to contain Tehran. Yet deterrence would come at a heavy price. To keep the Iranian threat at bay, the United States would need to deploy naval and ground units and potentially nuclear weapons across the Middle East, keeping a large force in the area for decades to come. Alongside those troops, the United States would have to permanently deploy significant intelligence assets to monitor any attempts by Iran to transfer its nuclear technology. And it would also need to devote perhaps billions of dollars to improving its allies’ capability to defend themselves. This might include helping Israel construct submarine-launched ballistic missiles and hardened ballistic missile silos to ensure that it can maintain a secure second-strike capability. Most of all, to make containment credible, the United States would need to extend its nuclear umbrella to its partners in the region, pledging to defend them with military force should Iran launch an attack. In other words, to contain a nuclear Iran, the United States would need to make a substantial investment of political and military capital to the Middle East in the midst of an economic crisis and at a time when it is attempting to shift its forces out of the region. Deterrence would come with enormous economic and geopolitical costs and would have to remain in place as long as Iran remained hostile to U.S. interests, which could mean decades or longer. Given the instability of the region, this effort might still fail, resulting in a war far more costly and destructive than the one that critics of a preemptive strike on Iran now hope to avoid. A FEASIBLE TARGET A nuclear Iran would impose a huge burden on the United States. But that does not necessarily mean that Washington should resort to military means. In deciding whether it should, the first question to answer is if an attack on Iran’s nuclear program could even work. Doubters point out that the United States might not know the location of Iran’s key facilities. Given Tehran’s previous attempts to hide the construction of such stations, most notably the uranium-enrichment facilities in Natanz and Qom, it is possible that the regime already possesses nuclear assets that a bombing campaign might miss, which would leave Iran’s program damaged but alive. This scenario is possible, but not likely; indeed, such fears are probably overblown. U.S. intelligence agencies, the IAEA, and opposition groups within Iran have provided timely warning of Tehran’s nuclear activities in the past -- exposing, for example, Iran’s secret construction at Natanz and Qom before those facilities ever became operational. Thus, although Tehran might again attempt to build clandestine facilities, Washington has a very good chance of catching it before they go online. And given the amount of time it takes to construct and activate a nuclear facility, the scarcity of Iran’s resources, and its failure to hide the facilities in Natanz and Qom successfully, it is unlikely that Tehran has any significant operational nuclear facilities still unknown to Western intelligence agencies. Even if the United States managed to identify all of Iran’s nuclear plants, however, actually destroying them could prove enormously difficult. Critics of a U.S. assault argue that Iran’s nuclear facilities are dispersed across the country, buried deep underground and hardened against attack, and ringed with air defenses, making a raid complex and dangerous. In addition, they claim that Iran has purposefully placed its nuclear facilities near civilian populations, which would almost certainly come under fire in a U.S. raid, potentially leading to hundreds, if not thousands, of deaths. These obstacles, however, would not prevent the United States from disabling or demolishing Iran’s known nuclear facilities. A preventive operation would need to target the uranium-conversion plant at Isfahan, the heavy-water reactor at Arak, and various centrifuge-manufacturing sites near Natanz and Tehran, all of which are located aboveground and are highly vulnerable to air strikes. It would also have to hit the Natanz facility, which, although it is buried under reinforced concrete and ringed by air defenses, would not survive an attack from the U.S. military’s new bunker-busting bomb, the 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator, capable of penetrating up to 200 feet of reinforced concrete. The plant in Qom is built into the side of a mountain and thus represents a more challenging target. But the facility is not yet operational and still contains little nuclear equipment, so if the United States acted quickly, it would not need to destroy it. Washington would also be able to limit civilian casualties in any campaign. Iran built its most critical nuclear plants, such as the one in Natanz, away from heavily populated areas. For those less important facilities that exist near civilian centers, such as the centrifuge-manufacturing sites, U.S. precision-guided missiles could pinpoint specific buildings while leaving their surroundings unscathed. The United States could reduce the collateral damage even further by striking at night or simply leaving those less important plants off its target list at little cost to the overall success of the mission. Although Iran would undoubtedly publicize any human suffering in the wake of a military action, the majority of the victims would be the military personnel, engineers, scientists, and technicians working at the facilities. SETTING THE RIGHT REDLINES The fact that the United States can likely set back or destroy Iran’s nuclear program does not necessarily mean that it should. Such an attack could have potentially devastating consequences -- for international security, the global economy, and Iranian domestic politics -- all of which need to be accounted for. To begin with, critics note, U.S. military action could easily spark a full-blown war. Iran might retaliate against U.S. troops or allies, launching missiles at military installations or civilian populations in the Gulf or perhaps even Europe. It could activate its proxies abroad, stirring sectarian tensions in Iraq, disrupting the Arab Spring, and ordering terrorist attacks against Israel and the United States. This could draw Israel or other states into the fighting and compel the United States to escalate the conflict in response. Powerful allies of Iran, including China and Russia, may attempt to economically and diplomatically isolate the United States. In the midst of such spiraling violence, neither side may see a clear path out of the battle, resulting in a long-lasting, devastating war, whose impact may critically damage the United States’ standing in the Muslim world. Those wary of a U.S. strike also point out that Iran could retaliate by attempting to close the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow access point to the Persian Gulf through which roughly 20 percent of the world’s oil supply travels. And even if Iran did not threaten the strait, speculators, fearing possible supply disruptions, would bid up the price of oil, possibly triggering a wider economic crisis at an already fragile moment. None of these outcomes is predetermined, however; indeed, the United States could do much to mitigate them. Tehran would certainly feel like it needed to respond to a U.S. attack, in order to reestablish deterrence and save face domestically. But it would also likely seek to calibrate its actions to avoid starting a conflict that could lead to the destruction of its military or the regime itself. In all likelihood, the Iranian leadership would resort to its worst forms of retaliation, such as closing the Strait of Hormuz or launching missiles at southern Europe, only if it felt that its very existence was threatened. A targeted U.S. operation need not threaten Tehran in such a fundamental way. To make sure it doesn’t and to reassure the Iranian regime, the United States could first make clear that it is interested only in destroying Iran’s nuclear program, not in overthrowing the government. It could then identify certain forms of retaliation to which it would respond with devastating military action, such as attempting to close the Strait of Hormuz, conducting massive and sustained attacks on Gulf states and U.S. troops or ships, or launching terrorist attacks in the United States itself. Washington would then need to clearly articulate these “redlines” to Tehran during and after the attack to ensure that the message was not lost in battle. And it would need to accept the fact that it would have to absorb Iranian responses that fell short of these redlines without escalating the conflict. This might include accepting token missile strikes against U.S. bases and ships in the region -- several salvos over the course of a few days that soon taper off -- or the harassment of commercial and U.S. naval vessels. To avoid the kind of casualties that could compel the White House to escalate the struggle, the United States would need to evacuate nonessential personnel from U.S. bases within range of Iranian missiles and ensure that its troops were safely in bunkers before Iran launched its response. Washington might also need to allow for stepped-up support to Iran’s proxies in Afghanistan and Iraq and missile and terrorist attacks against Israel. In doing so, it could induce Iran to follow the path of Iraq and Syria, both of which refrained from starting a war after Israel struck their nuclear reactors in 1981 and 2007, respectively. Even if Tehran did cross Washington’s redlines, the United States could still manage the confrontation. At the outset of any such violation, it could target the Iranian weapons that it finds most threatening to prevent Tehran from deploying them. To de-escalate the situation quickly and prevent a wider regional war, the United States could also secure the agreement of its allies to avoid responding to an Iranian attack. This would keep other armies, particularly the Israel Defense Forces, out of the fray. Israel should prove willing to accept such an arrangement in exchange for a U.S. promise to eliminate the Iranian nuclear threat. Indeed, it struck a similar agreement with the United States during the Gulf War, when it refrained from responding to the launching of Scud missiles by Saddam Hussein. Finally, the U.S. government could blunt the economic consequences of a strike. For example, it could offset any disruption of oil supplies by opening its Strategic Petroleum Reserve and quietly encouraging some Gulf states to increase their production in the run-up to the attack. Given that many oil-producing nations in the region, especially Saudi Arabia, have urged the United States to attack Iran, they would likely cooperate. Washington could also reduce the political fallout of military action by building global support for it in advance. Many countries may still criticize the United States for using force, but some -- the Arab states in particular -- would privately thank Washington for eliminating the Iranian threat. By building such a consensus in the lead-up to an attack and taking the outlined steps to mitigate it once it began, the United States could avoid an international crisis and limit the scope of the conflict. ANY TIME IS GOOD TIME Critics have another objection: even if the United States managed to eliminate Iran’s nuclear facilities and mitigate the consequences, the effects might not last long. Sure enough, there is no guarantee that an assault would deter Iran from attempting to rebuild its plants; it may even harden Iran’s resolve to acquire nuclear technology as a means of retaliating or protecting itself in the future. The United States might not have the wherewithal or the political capital to launch another raid, forcing it to rely on the same ineffective tools that it now uses to restrain Iran’s nuclear drive. If that happens, U.S. action will have only delayed the inevitable. Yet according to the IAEA, Iran already appears fully committed to developing a nuclear weapons program and needs no further motivation from the United States. And it will not be able to simply resume its progress after its entire nuclear infrastructure is reduced to rubble. Indeed, such a devastating offensive could well force Iran to quit the nuclear game altogether, as Iraq did after its nuclear program was destroyed in the Gulf War and as Syria did after the 2007 Israeli strike. And even if Iran did try to reconstitute its nuclear program, it would be forced to contend with continued international pressure, greater difficulty in securing necessary nuclear materials on the international market, and the lurking possibility of subsequent attacks. Military action could, therefore, delay Iran’s nuclear program by anywhere from a few years to a decade, and perhaps even indefinitely. Skeptics might still counter that at best a strike would only buy time. But time is a valuable commodity. Countries often hope to delay worst-case scenarios as far into the future as possible in the hope that this might eliminate the threat altogether. Those countries whose nuclear facilities have been attacked -- most recently Iraq and Syria -- have proved unwilling or unable to restart their programs. Thus, what appears to be only a temporary setback to Iran could eventually become a game changer. Yet another argument against military action against Iran is that it would embolden the hard-liners within Iran’s government, helping them rally the population around the regime and eliminate any remaining reformists. This critique ignores the fact that the hard-liners are already firmly in control. The ruling regime has become so extreme that it has sidelined even those leaders once considered to be right-wingers, such as former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, for their perceived softness. And Rafsanjani or the former presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi would likely continue the nuclear program if he assumed power. An attack might actually create more openings for dissidents in the long term (after temporarily uniting Iran behind Ayatollah Ali Khamenei), giving them grounds for criticizing a government that invited disaster. Even if a strike would strengthen Iran’s hard-liners, the United States must not prioritize the outcomes of Iran’s domestic political tussles over its vital national security interest in preventing Tehran from developing nuclear weapons. STRIKE NOW OR SUFFER LATER Attacking Iran is hardly an attractive prospect. But the United States can anticipate and reduce many of the feared consequences of such an attack. If it does so successfully, it can remove the incentive for other nations in the region to start their own atomic programs and, more broadly, strengthen global nonproliferation by demonstrating that it will use military force to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. It can also head off a possible Israeli operation against Iran, which, given Israel’s limited capability to mitigate a potential battle and inflict lasting damage, would likely result in far more devastating consequences and carry a far lower probability of success than a U.S. attack. Finally, a carefully managed U.S. attack would prove less risky than the prospect of containing a nuclear-armed Islamic Republic -- a costly, decades-long proposition that would likely still result in grave national security threats. Indeed, attempting to manage a nuclear-armed Iran is not only a terrible option but the worst. With the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq winding down and the United States facing economic hardship at home, Americans have little appetite for further strife. Yet Iran’s rapid nuclear development will ultimately force the United States to choose between a conventional conflict and a possible nuclear war. Faced with that decision, the United States should conduct a surgical strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, absorb an inevitable round of retaliation, and then seek to quickly de-escalate the crisis. Addressing the threat now will spare the United States from confronting a far more dangerous situation in the future
White House adviser had to walk back the oft-repeated myth that women make 77 cents on the dollar that men make after being questioned about the figure during a conference call Monday. While detailing executive actions President Obama plans to take Tuesday regarding equal pay for women, Betsey Stevenson, a member of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said very defiantly that despite women contributing 44 percent of their household incomes, they continue to make less than men. Obama has declared Tuesday "Equal Pay Day" to highlight his administration's focus on that issue. “They’re stuck at 77 cents on the dollar, and that gender wage gap is seen very persistently across the income distribution, within occupations, across occupations, and we see it when men and women are working side by side doing identical work.” That sounds awfully specific. Stevenson certainly sounds like she’s saying men and women doing the exact same job are earning very different pay. Myth debunked. Women, we are oppressed. I take back everything I wrote about the 77-cent claim being a myth. Except, as soon as Stevenson was actually questioned about the statistic by McClatchy reporter Lindsay Wise, the White House adviser crumbled, admitting her earlier comments were inaccurate. “If I said 77 cents was equal pay for equal work, then I completely misspoke,” Stevenson said. “So let me just apologize and say that I certainly wouldn’t have meant to say that.” Oh, I’m sorry, I guess when Stevenson said “we see it when men and women are working side by side doing identical work” — that was an accident? “Seventy-seven cents captures the annual earnings of full-time, full-year women divided by the annual earnings of full-time, full-year men,” Stevenson clarified. “There are a lot of things that go into that 77-cents figure, there are a lot of things that contribute and no one’s trying to say that it’s all about discrimination, but I don’t think there’s a better figure.” No one’s trying to blame discrimination? Isn’t that what the entire Paycheck Fairness Act and Equal Pay Day are based on? And while we're at it, let's not forget that the White House pays women less than men. But that's okay, said White House press secretary Jay Carney, because they still pay "better than the national average."
Out of all the homophobic actors out there--and I’m sure their numbers are legion--Jensen Ackles irritates me the most. I don’t understand the gay men who worship him. He’s undeniably good looking but he can’t open his mouth without making a homophobic comment. What kills me is that gays everywhere take up for him just because of his looks. “Oh, he didn’t mean it that way;” or “Oh, it was just a joke;” or “Oh, you’re taking his comments too literally;” bullshit like that. Are you fuckin’ kiddin’ me??? I’m sorry but affecting a lispy high-pitched voice while ineffectually slapping at someone OVER AND OVER AND OVER, TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME, IN EVERY POSSIBLE CONTRIVED SITUATION isn’t funny. It isn’t a joke. And, similarly, using the word “gay” or “pansy” as a derogatory adjective in interviews isn’t okay either. Those things are evidence of a belief, people, an attitude toward gays, and I’m sick of guys lusting over him. I’m 46 and own my own architectural firm, and I have 6 architects working for me. Two of them are gay and about 10 years younger than me, and I had listen to them all goddam night go on about this guy. Even on DataLounge his name pops up constantly. It’s like a bunch of freakin’ yeshiva boys jonesin’ to blow motherfuckin’ Hitler. I don’t know what Ackles makes per episode, but word is that he clears 40k to 50k for an appearance at a “Supernatural” convention. So far this year he’s done twelve. On top of that, once he’s there he charges for meet-and-greets and photo ops, and it’s gays who are putting a lot of that money in his pocket. (Unless you’re [i]too[i/] gay. Then there’s no photo because he won’t pose with you.) Gays are also the ones glued to their tv sets each week, boosting his show’s ratings while they queer every gaze between him and his on-screen brother. [i]Idiots.[i/] This guy doesn’t even have the testicular fortitude of Sabrina the Teenage Witch! He won’t just come out and say what he thinks about gays, gay marriage or even politics because he knows it would hurt his career. In fact, his wife will re-Tweet stuff showing mild LGBT support just to muddy the waters and throw people, most likely Hollywood producers, off their GOP scent. However, the latest is that Stone Park Trust, the same trust that owns his Brentwood property--the same trust for which he’s the trustee--has allegedly made past donations to NOM, Prop 8 and Romney’s campaign, so anyone who thinks Ackles isn’t a Republican is nuts. His wife’s Twitter page practically spells it out, along with their very devout “I love me some Jesus” status. “Jensen’s favorite book is the Bible;” “His favorite actor is Jim Caviezel;” “His favorite time of year is Easter.” Blah, blah, blah. Man, I got nothing against anyone’s religion or their personal beliefs about gays and lesbians. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is entitled to their own opinions, but that doesn’t mean that I have to buy their product or watch their show. I’m not going to further any actor’s career so they can fight harder against my rights. And I’m sure not going to give someone like Ackles a starring role in my fantasies. I mean, compare his douchebaggery with the incredibly respectful and classy comments George Clooney made about constantly being called gay. Night and day. Night and day. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE HOMOPHOBIA, PEOPLE. STOP LUSTING OVER ASSHOLES.
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.

Technology mogul Carly Fiorina muscled her way into the crowded field of Republicans positioning for a 2016 White House bid with a blistering attack Thursday on Hillary Rodham Clinton and an appeal to Republicans to consider nominating a woman. It was a reboot for Fiorina, whose last foray into national politics did not go well. The former Hewlett-Packard chief executive failed in her 2010 effort to defeat California's Sen. Barbara Boxer, the Democratic incumbent. Despite GOP excitement around Fiorina at the outset, her race was beset with missteps and a muddled message. Boxer ultimately skated to reelection. But the Conservative Political Action Conference crowd, meeting here just outside Washington, found lots to like in Fiorina's remarks. She has spent the last few years engaged in conservative activism and burnishing her foreign policy credentials. “Like Mrs. Clinton, I too have traveled" the globe, Fiorina said of the former secretary of State. “Unlike Mrs. Clinton, I know that flying is an activity, not an accomplishment.” Fiorina, knowing that there was no room for her political aspirations in the Democratic Party, given Elizabeth Warren's and Hillary Clinton's dominance, has fashioned herself into what she believes is a convincing right-winger. She lit into the Obama administration’s foreign policy, characterizing it as wishy-washy. The crowd rose to its feet when she praised the government of Jordan for swiftly executing two convicted terrorists after Islamic State militants burned alive a captured Jordanian pilot in a cage. Then she moved onto Russia. “I met Vladimir Putin and I know his ambition will not be deterred by a gimmicky reset button,” she said. Fiorina pleased the crowd by declaring every foreign policy move by the Obama administration and its former secretary of State had weakened America's standing around the world. “Mrs. Clinton, please name an accomplishment,” she said. Although the field of aspiring GOP presidential candidates is crowded, including 10 speaking here this week, Fiorina is the only prominent woman. She is unsubtly positioning herself as the anti-Hillary. “I think our party needs to be as diverse as the nation we hope to represent,” she said. Still, it became clear what she is up against moments after she left the stage. It was Sen. Ted Cruz’s turn. Dozens of fans rushed the stage, jockeying to capture a photo of the tea party favorite from Texas on their smartphones. That did not happen when Fiorina took the podium. Nor when she left.

I have to say honestly that it seems to be a myth. If anything, they're normal size for the most part. I don't know where this stereotype came from. I've seen one study where the black penis was half an inch larger than the white, but that's not saying much. I've seen white guys with humongous cocks. I have seen black guys with really big dongs, but not as a rule. It's sad that it seems to be that black guys can only get jobs in porn if they live up to their stereotype, while white guys can be all different shapes and sizes in the genital department. For the whores out there, what's been your experience with white vs. black cock? Is one bigger? The same? It should be noted that whites come from all different backgrounds. That could be where the discrepancy comes from. On and off topic, they've found that gays have bigger penises on average than their straight counterparts. I call bullshit on that one too, but that's another topic.

We can arrange to pay for tickets, travel, and if our volunteer is unemployed, perhaps recompense for the job she might theoretically have. Think of all the exciting activities in which you'll be able to partake: -Work side by side with Fat womyn on garbage detail! -Enjoy delicious vegan food, like the world-famous nutloaf! -Sneak aboard the DART bus with claims of an individual disability and know that the sisterwomyn are judging you! -Smoke a fattie with Denise! -Have a breast cast made, yours to treasure forever!* -See how far you get in the cheeseball competition! -Visit the renowned Menstrual Hut! -After a long day, unwind with a shame-reducing shower! -All this, and more!

[italic]Perth teen idol Troye Sivan had a Hollywood gig at age 13, a lead role opposite John Cleese at 14 and a recording contract on his 18th birthday - all after a career "failure" at 12. How, exactly?[/italic] To most shoppers out at Perth's Murray Street Mall, 19-year-old Troye Sivan probably looks like any other local teenager - albeit an elvishly pretty one - out running errands with his mum and little brother. But to girls of a certain age (say, 12 to 17), Sivan seems to exist on a different plane altogether. Sporting his trademark quiff and oversized T-shirt promoting Tumblr, he could be a good 100 metres away and still the girls somehow sense him, the way birds detect unseen disturbances in their immediate environment. Soon enough - in Topshop and City Beach; outside Fossil and the newsagency - Sivan is surrounded by teenage girls in the process of thoroughly losing their minds. To be fair, most of them are lovely and sane, asking Sivan to pose with them in selfies before running off for a private group squeal. [bold]But on other days, Sivan's fans have proper, pituitary-induced meltdowns. Some scream at his face point blank, while others shed hot, silent tears.[/bold] Last Halloween, fans tracked down Sivan's home address and waited outside the front door, calling out tauntingly, "Trick or treee-eeat?" Troye's younger brother Tyde - who has a face that belongs in Dolly magazine and is fast becoming famous in his own right - deadpans that it was more like "Troye or Tyyy-yyde?" The brothers spent the evening hiding indoors, held hostage in their own home. [bold]Later, Sivan tells me that this kind of behaviour is why he avoids being near local schools after 4pm.[/bold] Sivan's mother, Laurelle, adds that she's in the process of having their home de-listed from the White Pages. [bold]As Laurelle and her sons go up the escalators at David Jones, she whispers to Sivan, "Look." Down by the fragrance section, a primary school-aged girl clutches her mum's hand, staring at Sivan as if she's seen Jesus, or a well-groomed unicorn. Ever the vigilant teen celebrity, Sivan runs back down the escalators to beckon her over, as if to say, "It's okay."[/bold] As Sivan and the girl pose for a photo, her mother smiles at us, happily baffled. "Sorry, I don't have any idea who you are," she says. "But clearly you're someone very exciting for my children." If you don't know who Troye Sivan is, either - never heard of the guy - then congratulations. You are officially old. (Don't worry: I fell into this category before writing this story, too.) [bold]Or, at the very least, you're not a teenage girl or young gay man living in the developed world, the two main demographics obsessed with this South African-born, modern-day triple-threat (singer-songwriter, actor, vlogger) from Perth.[/bold] You're also not one of Sivan's 3.1 million-plus YouTube subscribers who follow his weekly vlog updates, 2.4 million Twitter followers, 2.1 million Instagram fans, 1.3 million Facebook followers or his myriad fans who bought [bold]his first major record label EP (the über-catchy yet infuriatingly unpronounceable TRXYE), which rocketed to No. 1 in the iTunes charts in 58 countries.[/bold] (Note: 58 countries roughly represents a third of the countries in the world.)
as she gets older. She no longer has a husband, so she''s definitely going to be vulnerable in that area, and we all know how she''s reacted from it. She''s going to continue to age, and the result is tons of plastic surgery. She''s in a weird spot now. She can sell out tours, but her musical relevancy is waning. She is again turning to the hottest producers to ensure a hit, mainly producers that are 30 years younger than her.\ \ How bad do you think it''s going to be for her in the upcoming years? Will we see another "Sex" book, something where she REALLY gets desperate for attention?\ \ I have a feeling there will be.

Recently bought one. My first in more than 35 years. I went from vinyl to eight-track to cassette to CD to digital and have stayed there. I'm amazed how much better vinyl sounds. Richer and deeper. Now I'm combing old record stores on a mission to obtain all the albums I remember having at one time. Right now I'm listening to Joni Mitchell's [italic]Ladies of the Canyon[/italic]. I don't think anyone listens to albums anymore all the way through. That's a shame.

"Thunderbirds back in action" The first image of characters from the rebooted Thunderbirds series has been released, with the former marionettes now replaced by trim and toned animations. Fan reaction has been mixed, with some embracing the update and others missing the traditional look (and visible strings, apparently) of the original. Produced by ITV Studios and Pukeko Pictures with CGI produced by Weta Workshop, who did the effects for Lord Of The Rings, The Hobbit and Avatar, the 26-part series commissioned for ITV is due to air this year.

Homosexual pardon delayed as officials say it could benefit paedophiles Liberal Democrats pledge to pardon 49,000 men convicted before 1967 in any future coalition, while campaigners say warning about paedophiles is an excuse Nicholas Watt, chief political correspondent; Friday 27 February 2015 17.38 GMT A campaign to pardon nearly 50,000 men convicted under a 19th-century law for homosexual activity is being delayed amid concerns in Whitehall that a small number of paedophiles could be included. Campaigners who had hoped that the royal pardon for the Enigma codebreaker Alan Turing would be extended across the nation have been dismayed by a warning from Whitehall officials that a blanket pardon could benefit gay men who had sex with a minor. “There is huge frustration that the deal breaker now appears to be a fear that a general pardon might see what are being described as some paedophiles pardoned,” one source familiar with the Whitehall negotiations told the Guardian. “This sounds like an excuse and is driving people to despair.” Simon Hughes, the justice minister, will on Saturday pledge that the Liberal Democrats would demand in any future coalition negotiations that a pardon is offered to the estimated 49,000 men convicted of gross indecency before homosexuality was decriminalised in 1967. Hughes will say that the men, of whom 15,000 are believed to be alive, are “morally innocent” of any crime. The former Lib Dem deputy leader, who will indicate that the Tories have yet to agree to the pardon, will speak up after concerns were raised in Whitehall that paedophiles could benefit from the proposed pardon. Officials have said that there may be no record of whether a minor was involved in a pre-1967 prosecution because homosexuality was illegal regardless of age. Homosexuality was initially decriminalised in 1967 for consenting adults aged 21 and over. The age of consent was eventually equalised in Great Britain in 2001. Campaigners believe that the objections about benefiting paedophiles could be overcome by introducing two amendments to the relevant legislation to make clear that the men would have acted wholly lawfully under today’s law. The amendments would say that the sex took place between men aged over 16 and that they were both consenting adults. Turing’s relatives have presented a petition to Downing Street, signed by more than half a million people, calling for a pardon for the estimated 49,000 men prosecuted for homosexual activity. Turing was prosecuted for gross indecency under section 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885, which imposed a maximum prison sentence of two years, after he admitted to having sex with a man. The mathematician, played by Benedict Cumberbatch in the film the Imitation Game, was believed to have taken his own life two years later after avoiding a prison sentence by agreeing to the process known as chemical castration. He was granted a posthumous pardon in 2013 under the Royal Prerogative of Mercy by the Queen after a request from Chris Grayling, the justice secretary. Hughes will say that the time has come for gay men who did nothing wrong under the law of today to be pardoned. Speaking at a Pride event at Westminster University in central London, the justice minister will say: “There are thousands of men, just like Alan Turing, who have convictions for consenting activity between adults which were only taken to the courts because of the laws of the time which criminalised homosexuality. They are morally innocent of crime and it is time we righted that wrong.” The justice minister will indicate that the Tories have yet to agree to the pardon. He will say: “If we cannot reach agreement across government before the election, Liberal Democrats will make a commitment in our election manifesto to grant an official pardon to all those convicted in the past of sexual activity which today would be perfectly legal.” Grayling has supported Hughes as he works with officials in the Ministry of Justice on drawing up plans for a change in the law. Hughes has praised the work of the officials although some campaigners believe that Downing Street is dragging its feet. Downing Street has pointed out that the coalition changed the law – in the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 – to allow men convicted of homosexual activity to apply for a “disregard” to make their conviction “spent”. But campaigners say it is wrong that the onus should be on people who committed no offence under today’s law to make an application to the state.

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.

California couple, married 67 years, die holding hands Reuters, 27 Feb 2015 at 08:46 ET A California couple, married 67 years, died hours apart while holding hands this month, their daughter said on Thursday. Floyd Hartwig, 90, and wife Violet, 89, died on Feb. 11 in their home in Easton, California, outside Fresno, their family said. The couple had known each other since they were children and married in 1947 while Floyd was on leave from the Navy, going on to settle in a ranch in Easton. “They enjoyed working side by side their entire lives,” said daughter Donna Scharton. “They were very loving. Very hard-working. Not into materialistic things.” Each had battled illnesses in recent years. Violet had dementia and had suffered strokes. Floyd, who survived bladder and colon cancer, had been diagnosed with kidney failure, family said. Floyd and Violet had been given hospice care in the last weeks of their lives, and with the end near, family members pushed their beds together, Scharton said. Floyd died first, holding Violet’s hand. She passed away five hours later, she said. “They were very devoted to each other and had a lot of respect for each other,” Scharton said of their long marriage. The couple had three children, four grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, family said. Violet, known as “Vi,” would wake up at 4 a.m. through much of her life to tend to her family and the ranch, “sewing, cooking, gardening, and volunteering for the PTA,” according to her daughter and her obituary. Floyd spent six years in the Navy and served in World War Two, his obituary said.

Well? A fellow DLer mentioned it but wouldn't name him.
In a wide-ranging interview with Rolling Stone, timed before the release of his new album, singer-musician Kid Rock talked about buying guns before “Obummer” banned them, pop diva Beyoncé, and called 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney “the most decent motherf*cker I’ve ever met in my life.” Rock, whose real name is Bob Ritchie, invited Rolling Stone writer Patrick Doyle out to his 500-acre Alabama estate — situated right near a property owned by Hank Williams Jr. — where he discussed his career and his ‘Red State’ values. Prior to traversing the property where Rock had trapped three wild pigs he intended to shoot (“We’re about to do some murderous shit”), he showed off his gun collection, including a .22 rifle, two custom .45 pistols with ivory handles displayed in a case reading “American Badass Set,” and a semiautomatic with a silencer. According to Rock, the semiautomatic is similar to the ones the Secret Service carries and he purchased it using a loophole after President Obama came into office. “You have to get these pre-1985 with a silencer. I bought it when Obummer came into office, because I’m thinking, ‘What if he f*ckin’ bans guns?’ ,” he explained. Showing the writer the three wild pigs he had trapped in a pen — explaining that they are not native to the area and over-reproduce — Rock and his girlfriend Audrey proceeded to shoot the penned animals, with Rock exclaiming, “His ass is done,” after shooting one. Turning to the music scene, Rock related how his father, – a owned a Lincoln-Mercury dealership in his native Michigan — didn’t approve of his son’s career choice, asking him, “‘Why would you want to be a n****r?” Rock admitted that has last album, Rebel Soul, was a flop, and seemed bewildered by the popularity of Beyoncé. “Beyoncé, to me, doesn’t have a f*cking ‘Purple Rain,’ but she’s the biggest thing on Earth. How can you be that big without at least one ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ or ‘Old Time Rock & Roll’?” he said. “People are like, ‘Beyoncé’s hot. Got a nice f*cking ass.’ I’m like, ‘Cool, I like skinny white chicks with big tits.’ Doesn’t really f*cking do much for me.” The rocker, who is now 43 with a son in college, admits that he has settled down from his hard partying days when he admits, “I’d be driving the field trip Monday after I banged, like, four hookers. Well, not hookers, but, you know, four nice girls on Saturday night in Cincinnati.” Now he hobnobs with conservative politicians; describing Mitt Romney as “the most decent motherf*cker I’ve ever met in my life,” and texting with former Alaska governor Sarah Palin. Rock even admitted he has a membership at golfer Jack Nicklaus’ private Bear’s Club, near Palm Beach, Florida, saying, “If you told me five years ago I’d have to take my hat off and tuck my shirt in, I’d have slapped the taste out of your mouth. Now I’m like, ‘Look at me, hair slicked back, shirt tucked in.’ I’m like, ‘What a fag!’” Rock intends to go out on the road promoting his new album, First Kiss, saying he plans to keep ticket prices down — blaming Ticketmaster and calling them “F*ckin’ whores” — and saying he is fully aware who his audience is these days. “45-50-year-old girls wearing extra-large T-shirts — they’re my bread and butter,” He said. ” They know how to f*cking party — ‘I don’t give a f*ck, I’m making a T-shirt and putting sequins on it. I’m saving my money for beer and having a good time.’”

2/26/15 6:15 PM EST Bill O'Reilly has been accused by former colleagues of fabricating his experiences at the 1992 Los Angeles race riots, the fourth instance in the last week in which the Fox News host has been accused of embellishing or lying about his past. In a new report, The Guardian cites six of O'Reilly's former 'Inside Edition' colleagues who said they did not recall an incident in which, as O’Reilly has claimed, “concrete was raining down on us” and “we were attacked by protesters”. “It didn’t happen,” Rick Kirkham, Inside Edition's lead reporter on the riots, told The Guardian. “If it did, how come none of the rest of us remember it?” In 2006, O'Reilly said rioters "were throwing bricks and stones at us... Concrete was raining down on us. The cops saved our butts that time.” Earlier this week, O'Reilly told radio host Hugh Hewitt, “We were attacked, we were attacked by protesters, where bricks were thrown at us.” A spokesperson for Fox News responded to The Guardian's report with the same statement the network has issued in response to previous reports. "Bill O’Reilly has already addressed several claims leveled against him," the spokesperson said. "This is nothing more than an orchestrated campaign by far left advocates Mother Jones and Media Matters. Responding to the unproven accusation du jour has become an exercise in futility. Fox News maintains its staunch support of O’Reilly, who is no stranger to calculated onslaughts." This is the fourth report to allege that O'Reilly fabricated his experiences as a reporter. The first, published last week by the left-leaning magazine Mother Jones, alleged that O'Reilly lied about being in "a war zone" and seeing people "killed" during the Falklands War in 1982. O'Reilly called the report "garbage," defended the characterization of a violent protest in Buenos Aires as "combat zone," and said a precise casualty count was impossible to come by. The second report, published earlier this week by the liberal watchdog group Media Matters, alleged that O'Reilly repeatedly lied about being present at the suicide of Lee Harvey Oswald associate George S. de Mohrenschildt. O'Reilly did not respond directly to that report. The third report, published Thursday by Media Matters, charged that O’Reilly repeatedly lied about witnessing nuns being shot in El Salvador. In a statement, O'Reilly said that he was referring to images of the murdered nuns when he said, "I saw nuns get shot in the back of the head."

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?
Every black guy I've been with talks about his cock like its the greatest thing since sliced bread. They ask me shit like if I've ever been with a black guy and make comments about how big it and how sore I'll be. Usually when the zipper comes down I'm very disappointed. Most of the black cock I've seen has been average to small. One guy from Martinique had one nearly as big as my forearm. Seriously. So I guess my question is why do these tinymeat black guys all lie? Are they hoping I'll just accept their dick as big because they say it is?

The guys in the SFW pic are the types I''m talking about.
Does objectifying muscular black men make me a racist or open-minded?
Well?
I''m thinking about doing this. There''s this guy at the gym I''m obsessed with. He seems totally narcissistic and I suspect he would love to have another guy worship him. Has anyone attempted this?
Seriously, eat a sandwich.

“When straight couples have children, the majority of them want their children to be straight as well,” Dr. William Strider at the Fertility Center of Chicago tells Daily Buzz Live. “That is why most straight parents have trouble accepting it when their children announce to them that they are gay.” Um… OK? “So it only makes sense,” Strider continues, “that same-sex couples would want children that carried out their same family values of homosexuality.” Strider claims he has the unique ability to help same-sex parents biologically produce gay children or “gaybies.” The procedure is called Human Germline Manipulation. It allows doctors to genetically engineer a fetus’ X-chromosome gene by tinkering with the sperm and ovum during a surrogate conception. The X-chromosome is believed to have some impact on a person’s sexual orientation. According to Strider, gay couples will soon have the option to change their straight baby into a gayby and “guarantee their same family values and acceptance throughout the next generation.” But don’t think producing a gayby isn’t going to cost you. The rate for Human Germline Manipulation ranges from $12,000 to $15,000. Also, the procedure isn’t guaranteed. So you might be better off putting that 15K towards your kid’s college fund and then keeping your fingers crossed he turns out gay.

Jack Falahee 'Fascinated' People Want To Know Whether He's Gay By On Top Magazine Staff; Published: February 27, 2015 Jack Falahee, who plays gay law student Connor Walsh on the ABC hit drama How To Get Away With Murder, says he's fascinated that people are curious about his sexuality. Falahee's steamy sex scenes have received plenty of attention – negative and positive – and in an Out cover story last month, the 25-year-old created headlines when he refused to answer whether he's gay. As the series wraps up its first season next week, Falahee still isn't talking. “We don't ask the actor playing James Bond what his sexual preference is,” Falahee said during a SiriusXM Progress interview this week. “So I don't know what it is, really, with trying to out actors who portray gay characters on television. But it is some sort of fascination in society.” “I think we're projecting onto actors in a way,' he said. “I think we're expecting them to be their characters when, at the end of the day, this is my job and I'm an actor portraying a role on a fictitious television show.” “I just think it's interesting,” Falahee continued, “because I have a body of work before Connor Walsh that is primarily heterosexual and yet people want to ask – you know, no one asks any other man, or woman, on my show, about their sexuality, and that's what fascinates me.”

Former Glam-Rock Star Gary Glitter Jailed for 16 years February 27, 2015 | 06:01AM PT, Leo Barraclough LONDON — Former glam-rock star Gary Glitter, best known for his hit song “I’m the Leader of the Gang (I Am),” has been jailed for 16 years for sexual assaults against young girls committed between 1975 and 1980. Glitter, whose real name is Paul Gadd, was found guilty of attempted rape, four counts of indecent assault, and one of having sex with a girl under 13, according to the BBC. His youngest victim was just 10 years old when Glitter crept into her bed as she slept and tried to rape her. Judge Alistair McCreath told Gadd, who is 70 years old: “You did all of them real and lasting damage and you did so for no other reason than to obtain sexual gratification for yourself of a wholly improper kind.” Gadd was jailed in Vietnam in 2006 for molesting two girls aged 11 and 12. Glitter was a star of the U.K. glam-rock scene in the early 1970s. His breakthrough single was “Rock ‘n’ Roll (Parts 1 and 2)” in 1972, which topped the U.S. charts. In 1973, he had a string of hits, including “I Didn’t Know I Loved You (Till I Saw You Rock and Roll),” “I Love You Love,” “Do You Wanna Touch Me” and “I’m the Leader of the Gang.” Glitter had sold 18 million records by 1975.

As of March 23, 2015, Blogger will no longer allow sexually explicit material on any blog it hosts. Any blog that is found to possess sexually explicit material, i.e. porn, will automatically be made private, meaning that nobody will be able to find it in search engines and only those people whom the blog owner gives the link to will be able to find the blogs. So if you have a favorite gay porn blog that is hosted on blogger, make sure you bookmark everything. I'm hoping that's all you have to do because if you need a special new link then you will be screwed.
You're welcome.
I understand he became truly insufferable once Star Trek re-runs went into syndication and he became perceived internationally as a larger-than-life figure--he completely bought into his own hype then. But what was he like before then? I know he was a big player during his years shooting Star Trek and was fucking every single beautiful female guest star. Was he more normal despite being an enormous pussyhound? And what was he like before Star Trek?

FBI kept 250-page file on ‘God Hates Fags’ hate preacher 27th February 2015, 3:47 PM, Nick Duffy The FBI has revealed that it kept an extensive file on hate preacher Fred Phelps, the man behind the notoriously anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church. Mr Phelps – who founded the anti-gay hate group and began its traditioning of homophobic pickets – died in March 2014. After a Freedom of Information request submitted by The Hill, it has been revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation kept extensive tabs on the preacher, starting in the 1960s. In 1967, he was labelled “in need of psychiatric care” by the FBI – and later described as a “radical extremist” and “zealot” as he began the group’s now-famous protests in the 90s. The records grew more extensive as time grew on, with the group’s activities monitored every year between 1993 to 2006. The intelligence bureau also kept copies of the group’s inflammatory press releases and copies of reports regarding its protests – as well as information regarding threats made against Phelps. The church last month protested a Christian conference, over the performance of openly gay singer Vicky Beeching. The singer was not deterred by the group when appearing at the event – even stopping to pose for a picture with them. She tweeted: “Arrived just now at #GCNConf to a loud crowd of Westboro Baptist protesters..and to a giant rainbow above them. “I smiled, said hello & told the Westboro Baptist folks we loved each of them. Love wins over judgement.”
WOOF!

The row began on April 19, when Morrissey published an anti-seal hunting screed on his website in which he lashed out at the Canadian Government for the characterization of the hunt as humane. Here is the back-and-forth Morrissey “If she (the Fisheries Minister) considers such butchery to be so ‘humane’, why doesn’t she place herself amongst the tens of thousands of grey-coated harp seals that will be slaughtered within the next few weeks? She could then test the humane aspect of having her head blown off for herself. Only then could she be thought to speak with any authority on the subject.” Canada Government Spokesperson Sophie Doucet "I would urge Mr. Morrissey to consider the impact that his ignorant and inflammatory statements have on the livelihoods of thousands of hard-working men and women in rural communities" Morrissey "I should remind Sophie Doucet that building and maintaining the Concentration Camps of Auschwitz also provided livelihoods, but this hardly made the Camps warranted.” Canada Government Spokesperson Sophie Doucet “Morrissey a millionaire celebrity, desperate for a hobby, shamelessly regurgitating misinformation” Morrissey “whether a challenge comes from a millionaire or from someone who is homeless is a remark that would only be made by someone of imperious ignorance, who cannot develop the moral debate, and whose own personal financial agenda comes before the lives of thousands of healthy beings,” “In Western culture, there is no acceptance of the Canadian seal slaughter, and simply because someone bears the badge of Minister does not insulate them from being a disreputable thug.” Canada Government Spokesperson Sophie Doucet Morrissey’s statements are “ignorant,” “Anyone who takes a careful look at the seal hunt will see that it is humane, sustainable, and well-regulated.” “Mr. Morrissey and his Hollywood buddies have been brainwashed by decades of propaganda from fringe animal rights groups and radical environmentalists.” Now waiting for the next volley from Morrissey

Rejected!? How Why
WWE superstar Darren Young just dropped a bombshell, telling TMZ, he's gay ... and no, this isn't part of the act. Darren was at LAX Wednesday when we asked whether a gay wrestler could succeed in WWE, and Darren laughed, saying, "Absolutely. Look at me. I'm a WWE superstar and to be honest with you, I'll tell you right now, I'm gay. And I'm happy. I'm very happy." For the record, Darren is now the first openly gay wrestler ever at WWE ... and the first headlining wrestler ever to come out while still signed to a major promotion. Other pro wrestlers have been rumored to be gay, but that's it ... just rumors. Bottom line: this is big, big news. For all its chauvinism and testosterone-driven bravado, coming out in WWE is tantamount to coming out in the NFL. Of course, wrestling is a little different, particularly because of how physical it is, and how little clothing is involved -- but Darren is completely unfazed.
Or just a rumor? I''m sure her stuff is gade-A sweet puss to straight guys, but I hope her handlers are in enough control to keep her away from that diseased douche.

I saw an antique writing desk at a store today and it was priced ridiculously low. I checked it over and decided it was legit, but when I was about to buy it I stared doubting myself and walked away. I did some research at home and realized I was correct the first time. I went back to buy it but it was already sold. I always do this to myself--doubt my instincts. I've done it all my life and sadly it's really held me back Has anyone been able to crush their self-doubt?

I've seen a number of insomniac / sleep problem threads, so I know this isn't gay pointless bitchery - but I thought it would be interesting. The drug is called Belsomra (Suvorexant). It works on the "Orexin" pathway, unlike any existing drug right now. Orexin is responsible for keeping you awake (narcoleptics don't have normal orexin receptors). It essentially shuts down the "wake" system rather than promote the sleep system via GABA (like benzos). I took my first dose yesterday...i'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I slept ok... and earlier than I would have normally, but I felt tired today. It's too early to say much. Also, Merck had a huge fight with the FDA over the dose - and the FDA forced them to market a lower dose than what Merck found effective in the trials because of all the ambien controversy...so there might be some tinkering with the dose coming up. Anyway - for the insomniacs out there - here's some food (or drug) for thought. I've been on a LOT to deal with sleep issues, but nothing works for very long.
Premiere tonight, 7:30PM CBS I have high hopes for this. Is anybody else going to watch?

Republican Senate environment chief uses snowball as prop in climate rant Senator James Inhofe, who has famously claimed global warming is a hoax, wields snowball on Senate floor to in stunt against climate change evidence Nicky Woolf in Washington, Thursday 26 February 2015 17.08 EST James Inhofe, the US senator who famously claimed that global warming was “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people”, attempted to underscore his climate denial on the Senate floor Thursday by brandishing a snowball. “I ask the chair: do you know what this is? It’s a snowball,” said Inhofe, hefting the icy globe in his right hand, before tossing it at a Senate page. The snowball stunt was part of a rambling speech to America’s most august deliberative body in which, among other points, Inhofe took aim at evidence by scientists that 2014 was the warmest year on record due to climate change. (According to detailed research Nasa and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, two of the top bodies of government scientists, it was.) In 2010, during another record-breaking snowstorm, Inhofe and his grandchildren built an igloo near the Capitol building in Washington, affixing signs to it that said “Al Gore’s New Home” and “Honk If You Love Global Warming”. Inhofe, a Republican from Oklahoma, is chair of the Senate environment committee. “I think it’s lovely that Senator Inhofe enjoys the winter weather so much,” said Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist and director of Nasa’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “I’m a winter sports fan myself. But there’s a big difference between people playing with the snow, and global climate change.” Schmidt told the Guardian that, despite Senator Inhofe’s views, 2014 had indisputably been the warmest year on record, and January 2015 had been one of the warmest Januaries on record. “Europe was toasty warm. Alaska was toasty warm. Australia was toasty warm. All these things cancel out the fact that it happens to be cold in Washington DC this week,” he said. Inhofe’s office could not be reached for comment.

The damn thing was getting out and climbing all over my car, leaving paw prints, and shitting in my flower beds. So I called animal control and they brought me a trap, I trapped it, called them back, and they came out to pick it up. Neighbor came home just in time to see the animal control van driving away. Now, I had never mentioned that I was going to call animal control or trap the cat, but I had told her about the cat prints and cat shit and asked her to keep her animal off my property. She offered some lame excuse and went on her sweet way. But yesterday, she sees the animal control van and starts running down the street after it. Then she starts back toward the house, screaming at me "You'll pay for this!" as she runs in and slams the door. Not 15 minutes later, she sends her sniveling little crotch dropping over to tearfully ask me why I took his cat away. I told him to go home. This morning, I hear a big ruckus next door, car doors slamming, etc. So I peek out the curtain to see her and her son getting out of the car with the cat, making a big show of having gone and gotten it out of kitty jail, so I'd come out and see. I simply opened the door and waved at them, making sure they saw that I saw. I'm sure I've started WWIII with these people now. Goddamn, they are tedious.
Long story short, I have a bipolar neighbor in my apt building who is driving me and the rest of the tenants up the wall. Over the past 3 years, the pattern seems to be that things are quiet for a while and then she goes through screaming and crying spells that are very loud and stressful to hear. Even the tenants in the apt building next to ours have complained and called the police. She told our landlord she is embarrassed and that she is bipolar. She wanted to write a letter to the tenants which she gave to him but at the last minute she told him not to distribute it. She seems either 'on' or 'off'. A few weeks will go by where it's very peaceful and then there are weeks where she is constantly crying, yelling loudly, slamming doors and causing a ruckus. Us tenants come out into the hallways during the really loud episodes that she has and we all stare at each other but we're too afraid to confront her to tell her to shut up. if it gets really bad someone calls the police. Long story short, There are 8 units in my building and I have lived in here for over 10 years. It was a great, peaceful environment. Then this bipolar tenant, a woman who looked to be in her late 20s, moved in a few years ago(fall 09) and it's been disruptive off and on ever since. The police have come out at least every other month, particularly when she gets in knockdown verbal screaming matches with her boyfriend. (He is not a tenant but stays over regularly). They have both been arrested or taken away for 5150/72 hour supervision in a psych ward a few times over the past few years. He scares us more than she does when he goes into rages. A few weeks ago he was screaming at her and tried to break down the front door to our bldg until the police arrested him. Now he's back and I heard them screaming this morning. Our landlord is tearing his hair out. He got an atty and tried to evict her but she fought back and said that under the Fair Housing Act you can't evict someone with a disability (her bipolar condition being a disability). We have had some tenants leave because of her. I don't want to move because the rent is really reasonable in a great neighborhood and it's close to my work. I looked for other options in this neighborhood but couldn't find anything affordable. (My building is cheaper because it's older and seen better days but the location is great). My landlord said if one of us tenants would testify in court against her that's our best chance to evict her. We are all too scared to do it. (Yea, I know) I wrote a letter to my landlord with extensive dates of incidences where the police had to come over but he says it's not enough. He has police records of their visits out here as well but says we need someone to testify to evict her. Again, no one wants to go to court as they are too scared in case we lose. So we are stuck with this woman who yells, slams doors, screams in our common hallway that we are 'bad people' for calling the police, etc. She is also paranoid and says we broke her mailbox (there's nothing wrong with it) and other random things. She has no concept of how her ongoing episodes are ruining the quality of life for people not only in this building but in the one next door as well. We are all waiting for the day when she or her boyfriend end up shooting or beating each other up, their arguments are escalating. I realize this sounds like some bad drama queen journaling but I'm sick of it. She just had another episode this afternoon and the police came out again to investigate. This time she was not taken away but was given another warning. I don't know if she voluntarily goes off her meds or if her meds aren't working but I'm just burnt out on being sucked into the yelling, screaming, etc. Sorry for the long novel. I'm just hoping someone will offer some insight or maybe just tell me to pull up my socks and move. But I don't want to be pushed out of a place I love because of this woman. Are there any attys out there who have insight on how to work around the Fair Housing Act?

I'm not shading her either. I'm legitimately curious due to an old interview I read about her brother. He talks about the book he wrote on her. The article said this: "When Ciccone was asked if it was true he had received seven figures for the book, he laughed and coyly repeated, 'I'm not unhappy with it.' He added that he is sure his sister was worried about exactly how much he would reveal to the world when she learned of the book. 'I know that her reaction was like many people's — she went to the very worst place,' Ciccone said. 'That I was going to discuss very private medical matters, that I was going to tear her apart, that, you know, she was very upset. And she — since I wasn't responding to her, she was calling my father and trying to get him to choose sides, which I thought was of -- on the low side, if you ask me.' What could "very private medical matters" be? I can't think of a major disease or illness that the public would really care about other than HIV
Well, this is embarrassing for her, innit?
...all saying that they are "bi" or in some cases "straight?" These guys are as gay as me--and I'm 100 percent gay. Nothing bi or straight about me at all. They're on camera all the time having sex with other men. And the 'gay for pay' line is bullshit.
Yes. That's really his excuse.

I've been watching these on Roku/YouTube before bed. In the last few years of the show, after Dorothy Kilgallen died, the show rotated different people to fill the second woman panelist slot. Most of them were actresses or famous writers, but one of them seemed to have no credits at all: "Miss Sue Oakland," who was always introduced as studying for her Ph.D. at Columbia University (and nothing else). Sue was smart, and as pretty as a model, but had no reason for being there. Arlene Francis clearly could not stand her -- she usually had fun with other women on the panel, but never acknowledged Sue Oakland's existence five feet away (that I've ever seen). Does anyone know who Sue Oakland was? The logical conclusion is either the daughter of a sponsor or the mistress of either Goodson or Todman, but there's almost nothing on the web about the mysterious Miss Oakland (and nothing turns up in Google image search).
