She has made over 60 films, and the Kennedy Center could only come up with one former co-star to pay tribute. Kathy Bates. So they were forced to stage selections from Pajama Game and Seesaw. Why wouldn't any of Shirley's former co-stars show up to salute her?

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

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

We rightly ridicule the frau lifestyle, but at least these women will have kids and grandkids to care for them when they're old. I'm only 46, but I'm preparing myself, psychologically, for end of life dilemmas. I don't want to feel lonely, but I imagine I will. I will off myself if the pain is too much, if I get ALS, and/or I am immobilized by stroke or accident.

Openly gay filmmaker Lee Daniels recently discussed his belief that gay men in the black community just "can't come out." The "Butler" director sat down with Larry King for an interview on "Larry King Now" and discussed when he first knew he was gay. He was just 5 years old when he knew "something wasn't right" after walking downstairs during his dad's poker game wearing his moms red pumps. His father, he said, beat him severely for the act. Daniels went on to discuss homophobia in the black community overall. "I think that [gays] are prejudiced upon even by the African-Americans, too," Daniels explained. He provided an anecdote about when he went to the Gay Men's Health Crisis center in New York City while doing research for his 2009 movie "Precious." He said he was shocked to see all black woman at the center: They [the center] service black women with AIDS. Why? Because black men can't come out. Why? Because simply you can't do it. Your family says it, your church says it, your teachers say it, your parents say it, your friends say it, your work says it. So you're living on this 'DL' thing and you're infecting black women. So it's killing us. I think that because the black culture and the Hispanic culture have a thing about this. Daniels, a Philadelphia native, has discussed being a gay black man before. In an interview with The Huffington Post last year, he said that gay people are "third-class citizens." "We are nothing to many people, especially in the African-American community," he said. "We are told, especially as black men, that we have to live up to certain expectations. The churches say it's not good. Our neighbors say it's not good. Our friends and family say it's not good. I am living in my truth, and I demand that in cinema, too." Daniels' honesty has led to people like BET's Keith Boykin commending him for breaking down barriers and challenging "the persistent meme of our community's homophobia."

I kind of experienced this this morning. I'm pretty attracted to the new-ish security guard in my company's lobby. He's really cute and I can tell he works out. We chat from time to time, and I am definitely flirty with him, which I can't imagine is lost on him. I know this sounds totally cliche and somewhat MARY, but when we're talking it's like time stands still and we're the only two people in the world. I get totally lost in his gorgeous smile and hearty laugh, and don't even hear the words coming out of his mouth. In my dreams, the attraction has been two-way, though I know intellectually that's not the case. But it's sure been nice to think about. Anyway, this afternoon as I came back from grabbing some lunch, I was going to stop and chat with him briefly. When I entered the lobby, however, I saw him talking to some chick who works on the floor above me. She's your typical stupid, slutty admin type...you know the sort...dumb as a box of hair, always advertising her looks with exposed cleavage and short skirts, and those stupid 10-inch hooker heels. She was totally flirting with him, throwing her tits and pussy in his face, and he was just totally eating it up. I awkwardly said hi to him, but he didn't even acknowledge me. Didn't even toss me a glace, he was so caught up in her. Again, I know he's 99% straight and into pussy, but there was that part of me that hoped that 1% would come out and want to have sex with me. It was just totally soul crushing, and I can't stop thinking about it. I'm really hurt, though I know I shouldn't be. ugh, why am I always attracted to the straight ones, and why does it hurt so much when my fantasies are deflated and reality hits like a ton of bricks? ugh, just ugh.

As the saying goes, “everything’s bigger in Texas,” and that certainly could apply to the level of kook-driven bigotry that seems to be teeming from the Lone Star state as of late. Just last month we told you about a charming group known as the Young Conservatives of Texas at the University of Texas that tried promoting a game called ”Catch an Illegal Immigrant” on Facebook, and of course Representative Louie Gohmert has a long history of mind-numbingly stupid and bigoted remarks. Now the people of Texas have someone else to be proud of. Larry SECEDE Kilgore (he legally changed his middle name from Scott to SECEDE in 2012) is running for Governor. Kilgore proudly calls himself a “Christian,” and has advocated for the death penalty for adulterers and women that have had abortions. He might be best known for his extreme anti-gay stances, and for making up words like “transvestism”: “Public use of vulgar sexual language would result in flogging. … Judges will flog more severely those convicted of transvestism.” In an interview with Lone Star Q on Monday, however, Kilgore has admitted that he’s willing to roll up his sleeves and work side-by-side with the homos in order to capture the ultimate prize - secession; “The only position I have is secession. I am a Christian, and I have lots of Christian beliefs. However, I am trying to build a coalition of all different types of people. I look at the lesbians and the homosexual folks and I say, ‘Hey, D.C. is stealing my money just like they’re stealing your money.’ After we get our freedom, then we can decide all that stuff — hopefully at a county level. Right now, lesbians and homosexuals and Christians may have differences with each other, but we’ve got a bigger enemy.” The Everlasting GOP Stoppers tracked down this video of Kilgore at a good-old boy rally ranting about how he “hates the U.S. flag,” and espousing the virtues of secession back in 2009. Hey, at least he’s consistent. Frankly, I’d love to see Texas try to go it on their own.

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

When you smoked, what were your preferred brands and why? For me it was Parliament non-menthols in high school and part of college, then Marlboro reds (shorts in the box) for a time, then a college friend smoked Benson & Hedges Menthol 100s and I was forever bumming so I started buying and smoking these cigs to pay her back. Then after college I went back to Marlboro reds (this time longs in the box) and finally I switched to Carlton 100s in the box. I smoked Carltons for over ten years and I was smoking this brand when I quit four years ago. At the time I switched to Carlton, they were the lowest tar and nicotine. I know, so what -- low tar makes no difference from a health standpoint. I don't want to pick up this expensive habit again, but in some small way I miss the ritual of smoking.
I agree they're sexy - I've been into them since I was, oh, a teen (lots of sticky issues of International Male and Undergear). But what exactly is it about them - cumgutters too - that's so sexy?

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

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

Ronaldo was attending the official launch of his new underwear range, CR7, and anyone wondering what his debut collection looks like didn’t have to look too far - a 19-metre tall campaign image featuring the chiseled winger in all his glory was suspended above in the landmark building’s renaissance courtyard. Meanwhile the man in question, never shy about coming forward, was clearly delighted as he posed for photos between its legs. ‘I am very proud to officially launch CR7 today and especially to see my campaign image displayed in this beautiful building, one of the most famous landmarks in Madrid,’ he said.‘I put a lot of passion and dedication into creating this new underwear line and I am delighted to finally launch it globally today. ‘ Ronaldo has previously modelled for Armani Jeans, but his latest campaign marks an inaugural brand venture and his first attempt at fashion designing. His design debut was aided by Richard Chai – best known for his collaborations with Marc Jacobs and Donna Karen.‘Fashion and design are two passions of mine and I have wanted to launch my own brand for a long time. Working on this collection alongside Richard has given me a great creative outlet and I have loved every part of collaborating on the range, from selecting the colours and designs to testing the styles and fits myself,’ he said. ‘I am very proud that the collection is launching worldwide today.’ Ronaldo's new underwear range will be available to buy via www.cr7underwear.com from November 1.

The Divine Miss M. is taking on the great Mae West. HBO Films has put in development Mae West, a movie about the true Hollywood original, with Bette Midler attached to star and executive produce. The project is the brainchild of William Friedkin (The Exorcist), who will direct and executive produce. Broadway heavyweight Harvey Fierstein, who recently penned the book for Tony-winning musical Kinky Boots, is writing the script. Also executive producing is Jerry Weintraub, who executive produced HBO Films’ Emmy-winning Behind The Candelabra. Mae West, based on West’s autobiography Goodness Had Nothing To Do With It, chronicles West’s rise friedkinto stardom when she takes New York by storm after writing and starring in her scandalous Broadway show Sex and battles authorities over obscenity charges. Instead of taking the road of a wide-eyed Hollywood ingenue, West forged her own path, writing and starring in her own risqué plays, including her breakthrough Sex, which had her prosecuted and sentenced to 10 days in prison for “corrupting the morals of youth.” The notoriety fueled her career and didn’t stop her from tackling taboo subjects in her next plays, including 1928 hit Diamond Lil, about a racy 1890s woman, which opened the doors to Hollywood for her. GoodnessHasNothingToDoWithIt_bookWest was a late arrival, signing her first movie deal with Paramount at 39, but went on to make a string of hits, becoming one of the highest-grossing stars of the 1930s while still finding ways to push the envelope and keeping studio censors busy. Midler’s career path resembles that of West — she too made a name for herself onstage in New York (she made her Broadway debut in the chorus of Fiddler On The Roof) before segueing to features in her 30s for a successful movie career, which has earned her two Oscar nominations. Midler just started a three-week engagement at the Geffen Playhouse of I’ll Eat You Last after a successful Broadway run. Midler has been earning strong reviews for her portrayal of larger-than-life Hollywood agent Sue Mengers in the one-person play written by John Logan and directed by Joe Mantello.

A lot of people carp about "My Favorite Things" from THE SOUND OF MUSIC being appropriated as Christmas music but at least some of the lyrics evoke images of winter. And rattling off long lists of things we love is common in our consumer-driven culture. But when did "Over The Rainbow" become a Christmas song? I've seen this one popping up on more and more Christmas albums and holiday playlists. Doesn't sound Christmas-y to me at all. Are artists just desperate for another "new" song to record at the holidays?

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

Mine: People who drive neck to neck on a 6 lane highway and under the speed limit. I don''t know if it''s where I live (on the coast, so people are more laid back) but every fucking morning I get stuck behind people lollygagging along doing 40 on a 45 mph road, so I normally do at least 55. All you can do is wait until one of them inches forward enough to squeeze in front. This morning I was doing 52 and left them all in the dust. WTF are they doing and do they ever look in the rearview mirror and see a mile of traffic behind them?
You're 35! Stay as sweet!

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

I was at the gym today and "Another One Bites the Dust" and We Will Rock You" played back to back. I'm 28, so I had no idea that "Queen" did both songs (along with "We Are the Champions") with Freddie Mercury as the lead until a quick wiki search. So my question is: How big was "Queen" here in the states and was it well-known that Mercury was gay? BTW, what a voice.
It looks like George Zimmerman may get off Scot-free yet again after his girlfriend reversed course on her decision to press charges against him for allegedly trashing her house and waving a gun in her face. Newly obtained court documents show that Samantha Scheibe, 27, has demanded that Zimmerman's charges and his no-contact order be dropped, effective immediately. "When I was being questioned by police I felt very intimidated," Scheibe said in a sworn statement dated December 6. "I believe that the police misinterpreted me and that I may have misspoken about certain facts in my statement to police." Scheibe goes on to claim that Zimmerman "never pointed a gun at or toward my face in a threatening manner," and insisted she "want[s] to be with George." cording to the Orlando Sentinel and … Read… Scheibe's affidavit flies in the face of what she told a 911 dispatcher during the November 18 incident. "I need police right now," she exclaimed during the taped phone call. "He's in my house breaking all my shit because I asked him to leave. He's got a freaking gun, breaking all my stuff right now." Zimmerman was subsequently arrested and charged with felony aggravated assault, misdemeanor battery, and misdemeanor criminal mischief. He was released on his own recognizance after paying a $9,000 bond. A search warrant released the following week showed that Zimmerman was packing a 12-gauge shotgun, an AR-15 assault rifle, three handguns, and over 100 rounds of ammunition when he visited Scheibe's house.

It can't be healthy for them. Christian Bale has done it multiple times. He became very muscular for American Psycho; then lost all his muscle mass and 60+ pounds for The Machinist; then gained back all his muscle mass and then some for Batman Begins; then became skeletal and gaunt for The Fighter; then gained all his muscle back yet again for The Dark Knight Rises. Now he's put on an extra fifty pounds for American Hustle. Isn't this incredibly physically dangerous to keep doing? The strain on his heart must be immense.

Michael Griffin worked at the Holy Ghost Preparatory School for 12 years teaching French and Italian. He said that although administrators, including the principal, knew he was gay, he never had any major conflict with the Catholic administrators until Friday. Griffin said he was fired on Friday after he had emailed administrators to tell them he was going to file for a marriage license and would be slightly late to work. Griffin said the school administrators told him that the email sent on the school email server made his relationship public and therefore they had to fire him if he decided to go through with the marriage. In a statement sent to ABC News from McCloskey and Holy Ghost Preparatory School, the school president said Griffin was fired for violating the terms of his contract by deciding to marry a partner of the same sex. "Unfortunately, this decision contradicts the terms of his teaching contract at our school, which requires all faculty and staff to follow the teachings of the Church as a condition of their employment," McCloskey said in the statement. "In discussion with Mr. Griffin, he acknowledged that he was aware of this provision, yet he said that he intended to go ahead with the ceremony. Regretfully, we informed Mr. Griffin that we have no choice but to terminate his contract effective immediately."

I saw him at the gym (Equinox in Soho/NYC, does anyone know if he lives around there?). The guy is a bonafide stud. He's a fucking bro. He's gotta be one of the hottest celebrities and definitely the hottest gay one. Over Ricky Martin, and got more meat and manliness than Matt Bomer. Would anyone care to argue?
Am I the only one who noticed this or am I the only one who is brave enough to say this? It's episode after episode of some random issue but really the best part of it is the fucking. That's why EVERY episode must have a love scene so that we may see young scrumptious Gale Harold's various beautiful body parts.
Anybody else watching this at US pace? It's an amazing French series about various people who've died at various points in time who suddenly reappear with no explanation. The acting is uniformly wonderful and the young man who plays Simon is exceptionally beautiful.
And though it isn't perfect, it's far from an "instant camp classic" as described in another thread. Spoilers inside.

Today is my 97th birthday. I am a lucky man. I've been married to my wife, Anne, for 60 years and she continues to captivate me. When you get to be 97, you can reflect on the lessons you've learned in almost a century of life. Mark Twain said, "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." I won't pretend that getting older is easy. But I find that it's given me a perspective that I lacked when I was younger. I was always running everywhere -- from meetings to movie sets, from shooting films all around the world to serving as a goodwill ambassador for the State Department in over forty countries. Staying still was something I did not do well. Now, I treasure the quiet times: reading books that make me think about new ideas; watching my roses bloom; gazing at the palm trees shimmering against the afternoon sky; seeing the simple path of a cloud across the sky; and especially sitting with Anne in front of the fire at sunset -- the Golden Hour. So I asked myself, what do I want for my birthday? There's nothing I need, other than good health for my wife and my family. Suddenly it occurred to me that I knew exactly what I wanted -- a better world for my grandchildren. But have you ever tried to put 97 candles on a cake? You can't. So I put 10 candles to represent the 10 decades of my life. Here are my birthday wishes: *A world where weapons, big and small, are symbols of weakness, not strength *A world where religion informs values, not governments *A world where the air is breathable, the water drinkable and the food is healthy and plentiful *A world where poor people are the smallest percentage of the population *A world where education and health care are available to everyone *A world where prejudice based on race, religion and nationality is non-existent *A world where smoking tobacco is considered a ridiculous practice from a bygone era *A world where all diseases are curable and physical pain is no longer a part of life *A world where we control technology, not the other way around *A world where greed is never considered good Excuse me -- I have a lot of candles to blow out.
BY SHAUN KITCHENER ON JULY 18, 2013 Zachary Quinto Splits From Glee's Jonathan Groff: 'They Remain Friends' Couple have reportedly gone their separate ways Zachary Quinto and Jonathan Groff have reportedly split up, but remain on good terms. The Star Trek actor is even thought to have seen Groff in a play recently, months after they parted ways unnoticed. According to Gossip Cop's source, rumours that the relationship ended explosively are false, and there is "nothing salacious" about the story. The couple confirmed they were an item last year, one year after Quinto announced that he is gay. Following the success of Star Trek Into Darkness earlier this year, Quinto will soon be diving into a threequel - and he reckons it could start shooting in 2014, despite JJ Abrams' involvement with Star Wars. "Star Trek 3 should be filming, I suppose, next year," he told Buzzhub. "It’s going to be made a lot quicker than the last one. That’s the plan, although nothing is confirmed yet." Groff, meanwhile, has previously appeared in 12 episodes of Glee in the recurring role of Jesse St James, and he's also been seen in The Good Wife and The Conspirator.

1.Male celebrities: If people ask you why you got into acting, make sure you say that you took acting classes to meet women! Don't tell people you were doing Bette Davis impressions in front of the mirror as a 4-year-old. 2.Tell people you had a hot affair with a celebrity of the opposite sex who is now deceased. Since he/she is dead, there will be no way to disprove your claims!
Great character actor. Loved him in Thelma & Louise, Fatal Instinct, Quiz Show and all of the many films he's been in--small or big budget. He also had a great ass back in the day, particularly in Grease 2.

[quote]When he’s working in New York, he shares his apartment downtown with his personal assistant, Spencer Soloman, a 38-year-old former dancer and camera man, who became close with Radcliffe’s family when he was teaching the actor to dance for “How to Succeed.” Soloman and Sam [i.e. his hunky bodyguard, pictured at link] function, in some ways, like older brothers: fun, but responsible and organized. Soloman plans Radcliffe’s schedule and talks to his father, agents and publicists two or three times a day; he might tell Radcliffe when he needs to shave for a photo shoot or search their apartment for a garment that his stylist wants him to wear for some occasion.

Earlier this month, blogger Jessica Shyba and her family adopted an adorable 7-week-old mutt. They named him Theo. On his third day as part of their family, Theo joined Jessica and her toddler son Beau for afternoon snuggle time. Beau fell asleep and then so did Theo… The next day, he joined in the naptime ritual again. “And so began,” Shyba says, “the most organic and beautiful friendship I have ever witnessed.” Since then, every day Theo waits for Beau to fall asleep and then joins him for his two-hour snooze. Of course, mama can hardly contain herself and is posting pictures of the cuteness on Instagram. And for that, we can all be grateful…

Janeane Garafalo: I've committed career suicide over and over
ROME — The full impact of Pope Francis' unexpected rise from little-known cardinal to heralded pontiff was hammered home Sunday, as a crushing capacity crowd jammed St. Peter's Square for a 10-minute prayer. "I'm pleased to greet you on Sunday, which is fitting as it is the day of the Lord," said Francis in Italian from the window of his papal apartment. Below him roared an estimated crowd of 150,000, filling the square as well as neighboring streets. Francis' first public appearance since being elected last week helped kick the new pontificate into gear. Among the Buenos Aires native's upcoming events is a meeting Monday with Argentine president Cristina Fernández, whom the conservative pope has criticized for her liberal stance on contraception and gay marriage. Tuesday morning is Francis' installation Mass, which will be attended by world leaders including Vice President Biden, who is Catholic. But perhaps the most-watched encounter will take place Saturday. That's when the pope is scheduled to travel to Castel Gandolfo outside Rome to meet with pope-emeritus Benedict, whose shocking resignation last month set last week's unexpected conclave in motion. It remains unclear how quickly Pope Francis will move to tackle some of the Catholic Church's tough problems, from financial scandals to social issues. But what's clear is that, much like an incoming American president riding a wave of good feeling, he has the momentum of public support. Pope Francis issued his first tweet Sunday on the papal Twitter account, @pontifex, saying "Dear friends, I thank you from my heart and I ask you to continue to pray for me. Pope Francis." The account, which posts in nine languages and has 3.5 million followers, came back to life Wednesday after Francis was elected. Before ending his brief appearance Sunday by saying the Hail Mary in Latin, the pope told the parable of an adulterous woman who isn't turned away by Jesus. "God always has patience," he said in Italian. "We can always go back with a contrite heart." Although she couldn't understand the content of his talk, the emotion of the moment got to Lucy Fanning of Pennington, N.J. "This is ..." she said before fanning her face with her hand. "I'm not even Catholic, I'm Protestant, but this is messing me up a bit," Fanning said, as her husband, Joe, a Catholic, smiled. The couple is escorting a group of private-school Latin students around Italy. "You can tell this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing," said Casey McGovern, 16, explaining the group's decision to brave the huge crowds only to get as far as a quarter-mile from St. Peter's. "It's his first address as pope to the people. You have to be here." None Crowds gather in St. Peter's Square before the Angelus with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Sunday.(Photo: Alessandra Tarantino, AP) Countless other Romans agreed, choking the streets around the Vatican with baby carriages, dogs and bicycles as police officers struggled to keep order. A half-hour before the pope's "Angelus," or public prayer, frantic faithful tried to make their way to the massive piazza in front of the basilica. One man yelled out at a well-dressed carabiniere officer, asking the best way to see the pope. "On TV," came the clipped reply. Earlier Sunday morning, Pope Francis said Mass at the Church of St. Anna, which is reserved for employees of the Vatican and sits just inside its imposing walls. Wearing the purple vestments of the liturgical season of Lent, Francis was at his disarming best, at one point urging parishioners to applaud a man who worked with street kids in Uruguay, whom he invited to greet him near the altar. "Pray for him," the pope intoned. "I don't know how he got here (to Rome), but I'll find out." After Mass concluded, the pope stood just outside the small church's front doors greeting every exiting parishioner as onlookers, held beyond barricades, chanted "Francesco, Francesco, Francesco Most of the churchgoers kissed his left hand; many did so speechless and with tears in their eyes. Others clearly knew the pope from his recent incarnation as Cardinal Jose Mario Bergoglio, and with them he smiled and chatted amiably as if at a party. Not so relaxed were the pope's black-suited private security detail. As the pontiff made to leave, he unexpectedly walked over to the cheering masses behind the barricades to shake hands and kiss babies. Such interactions recall the papacy of John Paul II, who especially early in his tenure took particular pleasure interacting with his flock. A 1981 assassination attempt in the middle of St. Peter's Square changed things overnight, and gave rise to the often joked-about, bulletproof-glass-shrouded Popemobile. During the height of Sunday's frenzy, the look on the security officers' faces was one of both deep concern as well as resignation. Clearly, this pope's populist nature will not be held back, and they will have to adjust in kind.
I know there is a thread on this, but this is a better subject title. After being fired herself, Erica Hill went around shopping for a new job at the various networks.

She wanted Saturday AND Sunday (which was being held by Jenna Wolfe) So Jenna got demoted to newsreader on weekends, and now Erica Hill will be weekend co-host on both Saturday AND Sunday. Sound fair?
CHICKAMAUGA, Ga. (AP) — The last walk that Ronald Westbrook took began as early as 1 a.m. when he slipped unnoticed from his North Georgia home with his two dogs. It ended three hours later when Westbrook, a 72-year-old who suffered from Alzheimer's disease, knocked in the dark on a stranger's door last month. Police said a man inside that home, 34-year-old Joe Hendrix, got a .40-caliber handgun, went outside to investigate and shot Westbrook in a horrible mistake. The unlikely collision between two strangers — one deeply confused, another perceiving a threat — illustrates both the difficulties that caregivers face in keeping loved ones with Alzheimer's safe and the consequences of miscalculation in a state that celebrates its gun culture. Westbrook's widow struggles to comprehend how she lost her husband of 51 years and discussed what happened in an interview in her house this week, sitting on her couch beside her Bible. "I can't imagine him feeling threatened by my husband, that's what surprises me," said Deanne Westbrook, 70. "Because Ron wasn't like that. He probably, I think he was so cold. He was looking for help when he was ringing that doorbell at their place. I think he just wanted somebody to help him." Hendrix declined to comment because of the ongoing investigation. His attorney, Lee Davis, described his client as distraught. The local district attorney has not yet decided whether to press criminal charges against Hendrix for what happened on Nov. 27. "He is not a gun-toting rights activist who's saying, 'Keep off my property,'" Davis said. "He's a man who thought he had to take action because of what he believed to be a real and imminent threat." A retired nurse who once cared for dementia patients in a nursing home, Westbrook's wife was perhaps better equipped than most to care for a spouse with Alzheimer's. The progressive disease results in memory loss, impairs judgment and can leave its victims disoriented. She installed door alarms to alert her if her husband tried wandering away. She was already making plans to get more advanced care at home as the disease progressed. "I don't feel angry," she said. "I just feel sad. I never would have thought he would've (come) to an end like this. I was prepared for the Alzheimer's to get worse and for me to take care of him here. And I was going to do it." Others can sympathize. Marylou Hable, who works for A Place for Mom, helping match families with care and living facilities, said she works with Alzheimer's patients and their families every day. Yet she still struggled when her husband's uncle came to live with them. She took all sorts of precautions to protect him, but one night he wandered out after midnight. She and her husband were exhausted and didn't hear the alarms. Alzheimer's patients often seize on a past memory, and the uncle was trying to find the streetcar to go home to Cleveland, Ohio, even though he had moved to Michigan. He was beaten up and robbed, but luckily police contacted Hable and her husband when he turned up in the hospital. "Here I am in the industry and I couldn't keep John safe," she said. An incident in mid-November may have set the stage for the fatal error. Shortly after Hendrix's fiancee moved into her new rental home, a man appeared at the door just before midnight on Nov. 19. He pounded on the door while Hendrix's fiancee was alone with two children, and he demanded to see someone whom Hendrix's fiancee did not know, Davis said. She called Hendrix, who was in nearby Chattanooga, Tenn., who told her to call 911. By the time sheriff's deputies and Hendrix arrived, the man was gone. Davis said what happened was documented in a police report. Afterward, Hendrix took a Glock handgun that he kept in his apartment and brought it to his fiancee's home. The following week, Deanne Westbrook woke up and noticed that her husband and the couple's two dogs were missing. Not long after, a police officer arrived to deliver the news, and the dogs were returned to her. For reasons that are not clear, Westbrook left his home and started walking. A deputy sheriff noticed him along a road around 2:20 a.m. and stopped to ask what he was doing, Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson said. Westbrook told the officer that he was gathering mail and then planned to return to his home up a hill. While Westbrook's answers were curt, nothing about the conversation alarmed the deputy. Wilson said barking dogs woke up Hendrix and his fiancee in her home sometime before 4 a.m. Westbrook had walked to their house, the last in a cul-de-sac. He rang the doorbell, knocked on the door and tried the handle. In what may have been a startling move, Westbrook left the front of the home and moved out of view. The woman called 911, and Hendrix got his gun. While the woman was on the phone with a dispatcher, Westbrook returned to the door a second time, Wilson said. Hendrix left the house and found Westbrook outside in the dark. He told police that Westbrook ignored commands to stop, identify himself and raise his hands. The sheriff said Westbrook approached Hendrix, who fired four shots. "Obviously, in hindsight, it's very easy to say, 'Why didn't you stay inside? Why didn't you keep the door shut?'" Davis said. "But the reality is, how long are you supposed to wait until somebody comes through your door? And had the person come through his door with his fiancee there, then what would have happened?" Under Georgia law, people are not required to try retreating from a potential conflict before opening fire to defend themselves from serious imminent harm, said Russell Gabriel, director of the Criminal Defense Clinic at the University of Georgia. State law allows people to use lethal force to stop someone from forcibly entering a home if those inside reasonably fear they are going to be attacked. Deadly force can even be used to stop someone from trying to forcibly enter a home to commit a felony. "Different people have a different understanding of what is reasonable," Gabriel said. "Reasonableness is a classic jury question."

One of my favorite television shows ever. Very sophisticated, and very much predictive of the style of later TV shows--it was the first show to be called a "dramedy," it used only a single camera, and was a huge influence on later shows like Thirtysomething. Blair Brown was wonderful as the star, and was very beautiful. This was the haunting, moody intro. It really captures a vanished kind of Eighties glamor (yes, there was such a thing).

I've been going through all of the Drag Race seasons for the first time. Is it just me or do things take a turn for the dark side with Season 5? First of all, I have to say Detox is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Just really, really hard to look at. Alaska isn't much better. They both look like they smell. These bitches seem rode hard and put away wet. Two of them have porn pasts, a few look strung out. They're much nastier and shallower than past seasons. Jade Jolie - there is some dark shit in that girl's past - probably molestation. I've been watching them in a straight shot, so to speak, so there is no fog of memory going on. The earlier seasons are fun, even uplifting and the girls were people you might want to know in real life - think Jujube, Manila, even Raja. Now they're a bunch of hard cases I would cross the street to avoid. I think I'll skip the rest of this season and just watch All Stars.

In a radio interview on Wednesday with conservative talker Laura Ingraham, Palin took dead aim at Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" initiative, which is all about getting children to "Just Say No". Here is a portion of the transcript: "Take her anti-drug thing that she is on. She is on this kick, right. What she is telling us is she cannot trust parents to make decisions for their own children, for their own families to deal with drug use." "And I know I'm going to be again criticized for bringing this up, but instead of a government thinking that they need to take over and make decisions for us according to some politician or politician's wife priorities, just leave us alone, get off our back and allow us as individuals to exercise our own God-given rights to make our own decisions and then our country gets back on the right track."

And it made me realize that women showed boobs a lot more casually in mainstream movies in the 70s and 80s... I mean, this is billed as a John Landis comedy. There was even gratuitous beefcake.

[bold]Taste Test: Popeyes Rip'n Chick'n. Who Thought This Was A Good Idea?[/bold] It began, one imagines, as a simple question, posed conspiratorially around a gleaming boardroom conference table in an upper floor of AFC Enterprises headquarters in Sandy Springs, Ga.: Why settle for chicken fingers, when you could have an entire horrifying rheumatoid chicken hand that you grimly rip apart like the antagonist of some grisly fucking torture-porn movie? Thusly was conceived the Rip'n Chick'n, the first and only mass-produced foodstuff that, should the need ever arise, could function as the business end of a sadly ineffective short-range grappling hook. How To Eat A Popeye's Biscuit: A Guide For People Seeking The Harmony Of The Universe Consider the Popeye's biscuit.Read… The cashier at your local Popeyes gives you a little huh, how 'bout that? smile when you order your Rip'n Chick'n, either because you are the first person to actually order a Rip'n Chick'n at that particular establishment, or because you are the first person to order a Rip'n Chick'n at that particular establishment who was not wearing a hospital gown and a thickly-wrapped head wound when doing so. Rip'n Chick'n is a ridiculous thing to say to anyone, particularly if, as a symptom of your vain and doomed sense of linguistic propriety, you unthinkingly honor those very deeply stupid and needless apostrophes. Rip'n Chick'n. Go ahead and say it. It is ridiculous. I'd like a Rip'n Chick'n, please. Somehow, it becomes marginally more natural-sounding if you swap out that please in favor of a vigorous motherfucker. I'd like a Rip'n Chick'n, motherfucker. That's better. I bet that's how you're supposed to say it. I bet they'll appreciate you doing it the right way. The Chick'n you will be Rip'n turns out not to look very much like the Chick'n in the advertisements: Its fingers are thicker, even gouty; they vary more dramatically in both length and girth. Most distressingly, they splay at odd angles, some curling around each other, others jutting out, clearly dislocated at the knuckle. There seem to be seven of them, although it's difficult to tell in some instances if you're counting two separate fingers, or one that has been bifurcated. You could almost—almost—imagine that a seven-fingered circus freak ran afoul of his bookie. Way afoul. Or, you could imagine that you are holding a deep-fried alien facehugger. Which, OK, sure. Complaining that your Rip'n Chick'n is less appetizing in appearance than the one you saw on TV is more than a little bit silly—Y'know, I really must say, when I ignited it, I really expected a much more pleasant-smelling dumpster fire—and anyway, if you were looking for a particularly photogenic foodstuff when you sauntered into your local Popeyes and uttered the, um, "words" Rip'n Chick'n, look, there's no nice way to put it, but you're a psychotic person. The Rip'n Chick'n's looks only matter (to the extent that anything related to a gimmicky octopoid fast-food chicken snack can be said to matter, which is to say, [throws smoke capsule at feet] [runs away]) in the context of how tasty the Rip'n Chick'n is to eat. Allow me to explain. (continued)

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

[bold]Three simple numbers that add up to global catastrophe - and that make clear who the real enemy is[/bold] If the pictures of those towering wildfires in Colorado haven't convinced you, or the size of your AC bill this summer, here are some hard numbers about climate change: June broke or tied 3,215 high-temperature records across the United States. That followed the warmest May on record for the Northern Hemisphere – the 327th consecutive month in which the temperature of the entire globe exceeded the 20th-century average, the odds of which occurring by simple chance were 3.7 x 10-99, a number considerably larger than the number of stars in the universe. Meteorologists reported that this spring was the warmest ever recorded for our nation – in fact, it crushed the old record by so much that it represented the "largest temperature departure from average of any season on record." The same week, Saudi authorities reported that it had rained in Mecca despite a temperature of 109 degrees, the hottest downpour in the planet's history. Not that our leaders seemed to notice. Last month the world's nations, meeting in Rio for the 20th-anniversary reprise of a massive 1992 environmental summit, accomplished nothing. Unlike George H.W. Bush, who flew in for the first conclave, Barack Obama didn't even attend. It was "a ghost of the glad, confident meeting 20 years ago," the British journalist George Monbiot wrote; no one paid it much attention, footsteps echoing through the halls "once thronged by multitudes." Since I wrote one of the first books for a general audience about global warming way back in 1989, and since I've spent the intervening decades working ineffectively to slow that warming, I can say with some confidence that we're losing the fight, badly and quickly – losing it because, most of all, we remain in denial about the peril that human civilization is in. When we think about global warming at all, the arguments tend to be ideological, theological and economic. But to grasp the seriousness of our predicament, you just need to do a little math. For the past year, an easy and powerful bit of arithmetical analysis first published by financial analysts in the U.K. has been making the rounds of environmental conferences and journals, but it hasn't yet broken through to the larger public. This analysis upends most of the conventional political thinking about climate change. And it allows us to understand our precarious – our almost-but-not-quite-finally hopeless – position with three simple numbers. (please see the link for the three numbers, and a discussion of each one... it's interesting, informative, and sobering)

I think the majority of DLers would say intelligence, but in all honesty, I think most people are missing DISCIPLINE. It's kind of baffling to see how many people are incapable of sticking to any kind of routine or plan long enough to reach their goal--myself included. But it made me think just how far above the fray you can go with that one simple trait. Well, discipline and ambition. Those two seem far more important than intelligence or talent (unless by "intelligence" you mean craftiness or cunning).

A British pop superstar and Kim Kardashian's gorgeous half-sister walk into a gay bar . . . It sounds like the beginning of a tired old joke, but in this case, it's for real: This past Saturday, Dec. 7, Harry Styles took new girlfriend Kendall Jenner to Therapy, a popular gay bar in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen nabe, a source confirms exclusively to Us Weekly. The same day that the One Direction singer, 19, and model/reality star, 18, were spotting leaving the Ganservoort Hotel in the Meatpacking District together, the pair resurfaced at Therapy with a few other pals, and "didn't make a huge deal about it," the source tells Us. Saturday's theme at Therapy was "Gays Gone Wild," with other bargoers dancing up a storm to pop hits. Alas, Styles, Jenner et al, however, didn't hit the dance floor, the source notes. And the crooner isn't new to Therapy, either. "Harry has actually been her a few times before," the source explains of the fairly low-key hangout. "He's just a regular customer when he comes in -- he gets a table and usually drinks beer and cocktail on the side," adds the source of Styles, who was dating Taylor Swift around this time last year. As it happens, Styles "walked out when they played 'What Makes You Beautiful,'" as other patrons finally began recognizing the celebrities in their midst, the source said. "He was holding Kendall's hand." Although the pair have denied any romance, the evidence suggests otherwise: Five days after a news-making dinner date in L.A., Styles was spotted leaving the Malibu home of Kendall's father Bruce Jenner at 9:30 a.m., and the pair reconnected hours later for lunch at Soho House in West Hollywood, with Styles picking up the check. "They definitely plan to hang out more," another insider told Us.

I was actually asked by a straight woman why gay guys are "statistically", she put it that way, more attractive. I didn't have an answer. I somewhat agree with her. Yes, there are MANY ugly gay males. However, you have to admit that there are a majority of what is classified as the desired male beauty. I'm referring to facially, not body, mind you. I know that a lot of us take care of our skin, and what not, but that doesn't explain why many of us have symmetrical faces. This brings me to the next subject: gay face. Why do so many gay men have it? Is there a link between homosexuality and what we classify as "gay face"? Many gays have it. Surely, you can create this look if you pluck your eyebrows, and put lip gloss on, but most of us don't, and many of us still have "gay face". So, you may be wondering, what do these two subjects have to do with one another. Well, male beauty is usually defined by faces that have some feminine features. In fact, when polled, women chose men who had more feminine facial features as the ones who would be good fathers.

George Eads will take a leave of absence from the long-running drama after engaging in a heated exchange with one of the show's writers, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. The actor, who has played Nick Stokes since the series premiered in 2000, will appear in the first three episodes of CSI's upcoming 14th season. Producer CBS Television Studios declined to reveal a date for his return but said he would be back later this season. "George Eads will not appear in several episodes during the first half of the season. We look forward to him returning to CSI very soon," a rep for CBS TV Studios said in a statement to THR. The actor signed on to return as a regular along with the rest of the cast when CBS renewed the series in March. His absence, sources say, is not considered an attempt to renegotiate his contract. Eads -- and co-star Jorja Fox -- were both briefly fired from CSI in 2004 after a short-lived salary standoff with the network and studio. Instead, Eads was unhappy with the creative direction of his character, sources tell THR, and clashed with an eight-months-pregnant co-writer of a recent episode. Word of the incident is said to have gotten back to showrunner Carol Mendelsohn and resulted in a meeting that ended with Eads threatening to quit. A rep for Eads declined to comment. Eads is one of only three actors who have been with CSI from the start (Paul Guilfoyle and Eric Szmanda are the others). Fox left and later returned to the show. Sources tell THR that Eads' absence will be addressed in the fourth episode of the season when Catherine (Marg Helgenberger, who will reprise her role in the landmark 300th episode) hand-picks his character to receive special training at Quantico. CSI returns Sept. 25 on CBS.

There is an interesting article in the New Yorker (linked from a Daily Fail article, I know) about a sales clerk in a luxury mall in the US getting depressed being in contact with wealthy customers. The little time I worked in sales my favourite customers were those who had saved a long time to treat themselves to something wonderful. You could tell they weren't the type to max out their credit and how truly exciting it was for them. I would give them the most sumptuous wrapping and extra samples and freebies. With wealthy customers, I got all kinds, blasé, cheap, difficult, friendly and unassuming. I never felt depressed about it, but then again it was a short stint. The New Yorker article has interesting comments.

Paul Crouch, a pioneering televangelist who founded Trinity Broadcasting Network, the world’s largest Christian TV network, died today, according to the network's website. He was 79. The church reported in October that Crouch had fallen ill and was taken to a Dallas-area hospital while on a visit to a TBN facility in Colleyville, Texas. He had "heart and related health issues," the church said, and he was later returned to California for continued treatment. The son of a Missouri missionary, Crouch moved to California in the early 1960s to manage the movie and television unit of the Assemblies of God. A decade later, after receiving what he believed was a message from God, he began to buy television stations, cable channels and satellites and developed enough Christian programming to sustain a 24-hour network. By the mid-1980s, Orange County-based TBN was “the country’s most-watched religious network,” according to J. Gordon Melton and Jon R. Stone in their book “Prime-Time Religion: An Encyclopedia of Religious Broadcasting.” With his bubbly wife Jan, Crouch anchored TBN’s flagship program, “Praise the Lord,” a nightly two-hour talk show featuring guests, Scripture and entertainment. He was known for preaching a gospel of prosperity, imploring viewers to open their pocketbooks to further God’s works and reap spiritual and material blessings in return. During four decades on air he often generated controversy, in particular because of the extravagant lifestyle he and his wife led. Critics complained that his jets, mansions and lavish expense-account meals were paid by tax-exempt donations from TBN’s legion of “prayer partners,” whose pledges enabled the network to surpass its rivals in size and global reach.

[quote]A romantic reunion? Tom Daley arrives in the US...just days after he announces new relationship with a man 8 December 2013 He’s increasingly spent time Stateside since he was linked to Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black. And British Olympian Tom Daley was spotted arriving in Houston, Texas, on Thursday after flying in from London. The 19-year-old was met at the airport by a blonde woman and the pair made a stop at Whole Foods on the way to his hotel. The handsome star wore a comfortable casual outfit for his travels, wearing an olive green T-shirt, a black quilted jacket , beige trousers and black high-top trainers. He looked relaxed and happy to arrive in Houston, where he is training for the UK Diving Championships in February, wearing a smile as he dragged two suitcases. He recently sparked speculation that his new relationship could be becoming serious, he was spotted ‘house-hunting' close to the Olympic Park, where he triumphed at last summer's Games. The Sun reported that the sports star was eying up a plush new pad with rumoured boyfriend Dustin Lance Black, a stone's throw from his new training ground in east London. 'They were both asking questions about the facilities so it looks like the two of them will be spending a lot of time together there,' an onlooker told the newspaper. The athlete's personal life was thrust into the limelight recently when he posted an emotional video on YouTube, saying he was dating a man. Although Tom hasn't confirmed the identity of his new beau, the pair were photographed grabbing a coffee together in Los Angeles in October, where the 39-year-old Milk screenwriter lives. His spokesman refused to comment on his rumoured house hunt, while the star has continued to live with his mother Debbie in his hometown of Plymouth after the Olympic Games. However it looks like he is ready to fly the nest as he focuses on training for Rio 2016 at the new aquatic centre. Tom revealed that making the decision to come out and reveal his sexuality was 'terrifying'. Speaking about his new love, Tom said: 'I’d never felt like anything like it before. We were at a party and I hadn’t even spoken to him all night. I didn’t know what to do or if he was gay at first.' On the Jonathan Ross show Tom said: 'I’d never felt the feeling of love, it happened so quickly, I was completely overwhelmed by it to the point I can’t get him out of my head all the time. I’ve never had it before where I love someone and they love me just as much.' Asked why he hasn't identified his beau, Tom said: 'At the moment, I wouldn’t like anything to change. 'I hope it doesn’t get ruined by the media attention, everyone has been so supportive and I hope it continues that way.'
Am watching the film for the first time. Was this thing rated PG? It would be teetering on PG-13/R today mainly for all the minors in underwear and the hilarious masturbation scene.

Barry Robins as Cotton is an acquired taste. His freakout at the end is pure scenery chewing. Bill Mumy is also quite good. Anybody see this in theaters upon its original release? How did it do?

Old thread link below. ...where will Kalinda end up? And what of the strangely perky Robyn? ...will Peter manage to promote all the pretty girls out of his line of sight? ...will Grace Florrick get into more boring, icky trouble? ...will Diane get her judgeship? ...and will Alicia ever find a man who's not kind of a sleaze? I don't really care that much about Will, because he's kind of a jerk. Cary is nothing but that self-satisfied smile, & Eli's great, because he's completely untrustworthy.
Let me tell you all a very bittersweet story. Let's just call it: "Karma" - So once upon a time in a land far away there was a special and sweet kid who had a dream to become a painter. He was a brilliant artist and was ahead of his time. He had hopes, and dreams just like we all do. Unfortunately, the art schools did not feel the same as he and they rejected him. Fast forward a few years lat...er he was roughed up and bullied on top of that by the same people he once loved. His Name was Hitler. Then fast forward a few generations, there was once upon a time a young lady who also had the same hopes and dreams as Hitler did. She probably loved the Jews as much as they hated her. She still loved them. As a matter of fact, the majority of her friends were Jewish. She loved them so much and just wanted to be accepted by them that she even tried to convert to Judaism, but no. It was still not good enough for them. They mocked her, rejected her and laughed at her through and through when all she ever did was show them her love. Her name was Tila Tequila. -

In what is easily the best news we've heard all damned day, Deadline, has learned that Dan Knauf, creator of the cult HBO series "Carnivale," has joined NBC’s upcoming 10-episode series "Dracula" as showrunner/head writer, working with series creator Cole Haddon. NBC's "Dracula" will feature Jonathan Rhys Meyers ("The Tudors", Shelter, Velvet Goldmine) as the iconic vampire. The series, from producers Tony Krantz and Colin Callender and writer Cole Haddon, is being produced for both NBC and the UK’s Sky Living. It was originally bought by NBC in January with a “script-to-series” commitment, meaning that it wouldn’t go through a pilot stage but straight to series if NBC brass liked the script. "Dracula" is produced by Krantz’s Flame Ventures, Callender’s Playground Entertainment, Universal TV, and NBCU International Prods.’ Carnival Films & Television, the company behind "Downton Abbey". Krantz and Callender are executive producing the series with Gareth Neame and Anne Mensah. Haddon and Flame’s Reece Pearson co-executive produce. Based on an idea by Krantz, it is set in the 1890s and has been described as “Dangerous Liaisons meets 'The Tudors,'” which is fitting given that "Tudors" star Meyers has been tapped to play the title role. The new series reunites Meyers with NBC's Bob Greenblatt, who cast the Irish actor in "The Tudors" while running Showtime. As a producer, Greenblatt gave Meyers his first starring role in the CBS telefilm Elvis, which was overseen by Universal TV EVP Bela Bajaria, then head of CBS’ movies and miniseries division. In the NBC/Sky Living series Dracula (Meyers) arrives in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who maintains that he wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. In reality he hopes to wreak revenge on the people who ruined his life centuries earlier but falls hopelessly in love with a woman who seems to be a reincarnation of his dead wife. “It is a timeless tale with relevant, surprising twists and turns with the exquisite Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the marquee role,” Bajaria said.
I guess this year is as predictable as all the previous years: American Hustle, Captain Phillips, Fruitvale Station, Gravity, Her, Inside Llewyn Davis, Nebraska, Saving Mr. Banks, 12 Years a Slave and The Wolf of Wall Street. The 10 TV programs selected are: The Americans, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Good Wife, House of Cards, Mad Men, Masters of Sex, Orange Is the New Black, Scandal, Veep.
I got douche chills watching this.
Who are some stars who are widely assumed to be straight, but you think they might be queer? For me its Jennifer Lopez. Never heard any rumors about her but she always dated flamers like P. Diddy and that backup dancer guy with gayface.

What is happening here on DL? There is a new 900 page Barbara Stanwyck biography by Victoria Wilson, and unless I'm missing something, no one on DL has mentioned it. The book is actually the first volume of the bio that Wilson is writing, and deals with the years 1907 - 1940. It covers her marriage to Frank Fay, her romance with Frank Capra, who made her a star, and second marriage to Robert Taylor. The reviews I have read say nothing about Stanwyck as a lesbian. Maybe Stanwyck didn't turn to the ladies for love until later in life.
Be honest!
I'm counting on DL to point out the differences. I've avoided getting involved with bisexual men for years - not for any issue with their own sexual orientation but because, based on my experiences, I've always felt they were different from gay men. But I met a really great guy and we're very attracted to one another. So I thought I'd break my rule and give it a go. We've had a few dates and have a lot of chemistry. I've made it clear that I'm not a bottom, that I'm versatile, that I'm gay and that I'm a grown man. I feel strongly that his sexuality shouldn't define mine in a limiting way. I've been pretty persuasive about the joys of ass play and I haven't been aggressive and have promised to take my time with him, etc. His comfort level is my highest concern. And he has a gorgeous ass. But he's a bit of a tease, a bit coy. He says things like, "If you're lucky, maybe I'll let you do this...," etc. I suppose a certain amount of negotiation is to be expected but it makes think what I've always thought about this equation - bisexual men just want to control everything. Any experience here?
Over the weekend, Barron Hilton — brother to Paris and Nicky, son of a hotel — got his ass kicked at a mansion in Miami allegedly at the behest of Lindsay Lohan. What a fantastic news story. According to the Hiltons, Barron and Lindsay were at a party for rich and gross people on Friday night when Lohan — who has miraculously managed to stay out of trouble since leaving rehab in August — overheard the boy Hilton trashing her. Later in the night, Barron was attacked by an unknown man in what the Hiltons say was retaliation ordered by Lohan. Though it now appears to be deleted, Paris issued a not-so-vague threat on Instagram (how the world turns!) regarding the attack, per the NY Daily News: "They both will pay for what they did. No one fucks with my family and gets away with it!!" Nicky Hilton also seemed to be alluding to the incident on Twitter, though I can't parse the tweets at all. Maybe you can do better. Or maybe not, whatever. Barron filed a police report after the incident, saying that Lohan egged on the attacker as he beat him up. Lohan's reps deny this, which I am and choosing to ignore as you also should. The feud between the Hiltons and Lohan dates all the way back to 2006 when an oily human named Brandon Davis called Lohan a "firecrotch" to paparazzi. Amazingly, neither side has quite yet figured out a way to milk television money out of this. But let's give them some more time.

Men who self-identify as gay, whether they are telling other people or not.\ \ I didn''t really want to include men who are in full denial and have never really self-identified as gay, but it''s probably too fine of a line not to include them. I know that sounds crazy, but I was trying to gauge the percentage of men, in their minds, self-identify as gay who then either come out or stay closeted.\ \ Also, fully closeted vs. partially closeted. \ \ Partially closeted meaning they have important people in their lives who know, many have existing gay relationships, go out to gay clubs, have gay friends, but other important people (certain relatives, work colleagues, certain friends/acquaintances don''t know, at least not via the person). I''m not including random people, such as if the cashier at the grocery store doesn''t know. \ \ I''d say 35 percent fully closeted, 55% partially closeted, 20% fully out.

Tim Meadows WENT OFF on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend -- saying he'll NEVER WATCH THE SHOW AGAIN after they excluded him from a throwback sketch. Meadows -- who appeared on the show from 1991 to 2001 -- swore off the show after watching the "Brasky Bar Guys" bit ... a reoccurring sketch he often appeared in during his time with the show. Meadows tweeted: "They did Brasky without me" ... adding, "Not even a 'hey would you want to come to do one line and bring your kids to see the 5 directions...?' Nothing... Wow..." "I will never watch SNL again." Meadows also explained why he thinks he's persona non grata -- and it traces back to his movie, "The Ladies Man." "Sorry the ladies man bombed," Meadows wrote ... "If it would have done better they wouldn't treat me like a red-headed step child." After the rant, Tim cooled down and seemed to back off his comments ... saying, "I'm not mad at the show. I know what it takes to produce those sketches in a short amount of time. I talked to a friend on the show who said it WAS a last minute sketch." "I acted like a baby. I'm happy for all of my friends success and will always be grateful and proud to have been a part of SNL. That being said don't forget to see 'Anchorman 2' coming soon to a theater near you." Fun Fact: "The Ladies Man" bombed so bad it took SNL 10 years to make another movie.

It's very frustrating as feminine gay woman who is attracted to the same to see these sexually ambivalent women in the bars. Yes, I live in L.A. so they are the minority, but still they ruin the vibe. Especially when they are of the stud variety who come on to ladies like 14 yr old boys! No class, no decorum. THEY SCARE ME!!

He's already earned himself a reputation as a hell-raising movie star, even at the age of 27, but Shia LaBeouf has now allegedly been involved in a 'boozy bust-up' in which he unveiled his full fury. Dining at a chic restaurant bar in London's Covent Garden, Shia was approached by a female fan who left in tears after having spoken to the star. The woman's boyfriend is reported to have then approached the Transformers star which resulted in a 'tussle', according to The Sun of Sunday. 'Shia pursued him and was overhead saying, "I can get you killed",' the paper reports. The paper claims that Shia was eventually removed from the restaurant bar by a group of waiters and onlookers. A witness told the paper that 'Shia went for this guy after he upset his girlfriend. It was shocking. He looked out of control.' This is the second anger management issue for the American star here in the UK. In October the star was reportedly beaten up on a clubbing night out in London, while on a break from filming the aptly-titled movie Fury with Brad Pitt. Shia is said to have filmed two sisters, one of whom was vomitting, ignoring requests to stop doing so. The situation allegedly ended with Shia being hit and kicked by a pssserby who had intervened, with bouncers from the club then stepping in to break up the fracas. This may all be two cases of life imitating art. Shia's 2012 film Lawless saw him star in the gruesome Western killfest as a violent criminal during the prohibition era.

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

How come this has never been turned into a movie or TV mini-series? Sounds fascinating. From Wikipedia: The Boise homosexuality scandal refers to a sweeping investigation of a supposed "homosexual underground" in Boise, Idaho that started in 1955. Beginning with the arrest of three men in October 1955, the investigation broadened to encompass allegations that over 100 young men and teenage boys had been involved in sexual acts with a ring of adult homosexual men. By the time the investigation wound down in January 1957, some 1,500 people had been questioned, sixteen men faced charges, and fifteen of them were sentenced to terms ranging from probation to life in prison. Reportage of the investigation and arrests set off a moral panic in Boise, fueled by incendiary editorials in the city's newspaper. Although framed in terms of "protecting children" from adult predators, the probe was not confined to investigating charges of men having sex with underage boys and some of those convicted and sentenced to prison were found guilty only of sexual encounters with other consenting adults. The scandal highlighted the tension between the perception of homosexuality as a mental illness requiring treatment and homosexual sex as a criminal act mandating punishment and led to an examination of the problems of juvenile delinquency. The reasons behind both the start and the end of the investigation are unclear. In his seminal book on the scandal, The Boys of Boise: Furor, Vice and Folly in an American City, journalist and academician John Gerassi suggests that the investigation began as a means for the wealthy elite of Boise to assert and maintain economic control of the city and the state. He asserts that a gay millionaire known as "The Queen" was the target of the probe, although he was never charged. With the son of the loudest proponent of the investigation implicated, Gerassi suggests that the forces behind the probe realized that homosexuals were at every level of society and that their wealth and power would not necessarily insulate them, leading them to quietly halt the investigation.

The boy band are currently leading the battle for Christmas number one fragrance - maybe that's why Harry Styles and Swifty didn't work out? :( People want to smell like One Direction more than Lady Gaga, according to soaring sales figures for their new fragrance. The boys are leading the battle for Christmas number one fragrance according to online beauty retailer feelunique - proving they aren't just pretty faces. The teen heartthrobs' Our Moment fragrance has sold at least five times as many as any other celebrity fragrance in the run up to Christmas. Well it's no surprise really given the amount of obsessed fans they have. According to the fashion site, one bottle is currently being sold every minute - that's a whole lot of 1D love. Coming in second is outrageous singer Lady Gaga with her 18th century-inspired Fame perfume. Close behind her is pop princess Britney Spears with Fantasy, followed by chart topping songstress Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday. And poor Justin Bieber clearly hasn't dropped his top enough this year after all, because the women are beating him as he comes in fifth with his fragrance The Key. Despite Taylor Swift’s Wonderstruck being the biggest celebrity seller last year, she is coming in sixth so far this time round - let's hope she's not TOO bitter about her ex stealing the top spot. At number 10 is burlesque babe Dita Von Teese's scent, with David Beckham, Kate Moss and Beyonce stealing spots above her. Siobhan McDermott, feelunique general manager, said: "It just proves that women will quite literally do anything to have Harry Styles’ scent on their skin.” Yes, yes they will. Here are the top 10 so far: One Direction: Our Moment Lady Gaga: Fame Britney Spears - Fantasy Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday Justin Bieber - The Key Taylor Swift - Wonderstruck David Beckham - Homme Kate Moss - Kate Beyonce - Heat Dita Von Tesse - Eau de Parfum

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

Tom Daley was pictured with a UK male stripper name Johnson, 6 months prior to him coming out this past week. And still follows the stripper on Instagram. Maybe Tom is not as innocent as he would have us to believe I think he is a little freak that plays naive and innocent for the cameras, but behind closed doors he's a big freak that gets it INNNNN ! I'm sure he watched Dustin Lance Black's porn and then met him and gave him his number because he wanted to experience him sexually for himself.

I have recently lost about 80 pounds (combined surgery, diet change, and exercise), and I am exercising (cardio and weights) almost daily. I look SO much better and it is nice to feel good again, and look good in clothes. I still have belly fat though. Anyone know of any secrets that really concentrate on getting rid of it? I am wondering if it's just my age (48), or can this fat be blasted away? Help me Obi-Won Datalounge, you're my only hope.
I just finished reading the book by her friend/maid ("Living with Miss G") and the only memory I have of her is in Earthquake where she was cast as Lorne Greene's daughter ("Daddy!"). She wasn't very good in that, and as I went through this memoir it looks like her only real hit movie was a part in "Night of the Iguana" back in 1964. She was often described as wooden. Could she act? The book is good, by the way. And I kind of got the feeling that Ava and her maid were definitely more than employer/employee and possibly more than "just friends."

Believe it or not, people with this affliction, at their very core, are the inverse of the narcissist. People with BPD start out 'too sensitive', too empathetic. People with borderline personality disorder empathize to the point of pain. When the highly sensitive person grows up in a very non-validating and/or abusive environment, with a history of trauma, BPD can manifest. In order for borderline personality to develop, an invalidating environment with and a highly sensitive person MUST BE present. What is going on in a Borderline Personality Disorder sufferer's mind and how they are acting can be two entirely different things. To the sufferer, BPD is about deep feelings, feelings often too difficult to express, feelings that are something along the lines of this : If others really get to know me, they will find me rejectable and will not be able to love me; and they will leave me; I need to have complete control of my feelings otherwise things go completely wrong; I have to adapt my needs to other people's wishes, otherwise they will leave me or attack me; I am an evil person and I need to be punished for it; Other people are evil and abuse you; If someone fails to keep a promise, that person can no longer be trusted; If I trust someone, I run a great risk of getting hurt or disappointed; If you comply with someone's request, you run the risk of losing yourself; If you refuse someone's request, you run the risk of losing that person; I will always be alone; I can't manage by myself, I need someone I can fall back on; There is no one who really cares about me, who will be available to help me, and whom I can fall back on; I don't really know what I want; I will never get what I want; I'm powerless and vulnerable and I can't protect myself;. I have no control of myself; I can't discipline myself; My feelings and opinions are unfounded; Other people are not willing or helpful. To the family members, BPD behavior is often very frustrating can feel unfair and punitive - something like this: You have been viewed as overly good and then overly bad; You have been the focus of unprovoked anger or hurtful actions, alternating with periods when the family member acts perfectly normal and very loving; Things that you have said or done have been twisted and used against you; You are accused of things you never did or said? You often find yourself defending and justifying your intentions; You find yourself concealing what you think or feel because you are not heard; You feel manipulated, controlled, and sometimes lied to.

Of course there are tons of black and brown belts. I've seen blue, red and even green belts. But grey belts are now extremely rare. Why is that? I've seen a number of grey shoes, so why no grey belts? I've always thought grey goes with more colors than brown, so why is brown so much more popular?

Pamela Geller is once again calling for Congress to reject a resolution condemning the persecution of Burma’s Rohingya minority. As we noted on Wednesday, the Rohingya minority in Burma is facing a campaign of persecution that many human rights groups describe as ethnic cleansing. But since they are Muslim, they have little sympathy from Geller. In a blog post today, she claims that the Rohingya are waging “jihad in Burma,” but the “goosestepping thugs” of “Jihad agitators and their leftist shills” are covering it up and unfairly criticizing her. “Pure evil. The Left always does this,” she writes. Geller must then consider Jim DeMint’s Heritage Foundation as a leftist, jihadist group, as the conservative organization denounced the “ethnic cleansing” and “atrocities” committed against the Rohingya. We’re sure she also has words for the Republican congressmen who are co-sponsoring the resolution. Opposition to the jihad in Burma is fast becoming the third rail. The bogus myth of Muslim victimhood has become the rallying cry for Islamic supremacists organizations (CAIR, the OIC, et al) and their leftwing operatives across the nation and the world. And I dared touch that third rail when I called for Atlas readers, twitter followers and FB friends to contact their congressmen and vote NO on resolution 418 (more here). Jihad agitators and their leftist shills were none too pleased. It is clear that jihad terrorists are converging on Burma from Bangladesh, Indonesia and Pakistan -- a jihad group from the Caucasus announced that back in July. Still, media coverage and reportage on the violence in Burma is notoriously pro-jihad (is there any country that opposes jihad that the media likes?). Much is made of the Buddhists' reponse [sic] to Muslim violence against Buddhists in Burma. But Aung San Suu Kyi, Burmese nobel peace prize winner and Myanmar's democracy and human rights icon, has spoken uneqivocally [sic] in support of the Buddhists, much to the media's crushing dismay. She had been, up until that point, a media darling. … Now their goosestepping thugs, the illegal uber-left network of hacktivists and anarchist entities, "Anonymous," has taken up the jihad in Burma as their latest cause -- so of course they would target me on twitter. The FBI has dismantled the leaders of Anonymous and arrested the group's core members, but anonymous trolls abound. This is left's idea od [sic] intellectual sparring. Pure evil. The Left always does this. They try to demean the character of their enemies by engaging in mockery and ridicule, which only makes more glaring their total inability and unwillingness to engage on the level of ideas.
Pamela Geller: Evil Liberals Who Condemn Rohingya Persecution Support 'Jihad In Burma'
I'm 50 years old, and pretty alarmed at how many young guys I know who have sero-converted. Condom use has not caught on with the guys who weren't around to experience the big 1983-1996 AIDS die off. I'm figuring that the population who may benefit from a drug like this may often be in less than perfect health to start with, and if one can't use a damned condom, how likely is one to faithfully stay on a drug regimen? What might be the long-term effects? I was initially horrified to think anyone would take a potent HIV drug while perfectly healthy, and risk the side effects (and feeding into Big Pharma's profit scheme), just so they can continue barebacking.....but what if that's just my prejudice? What if ultimately it saves lives?

The first thing I liked about Orange Is the New Black is that it premiered on a dull summer Thursday. While weekends get busy in the summer, so much of the television goes away during the week (that’s the only real explanation I have for why I’m still watching Under the Dome). So on a pure consumer level, this television junky was thrilled by Netflix debuting 13 meaty new episodes of an intriguing prison drama this week. And in many respects, Orange is proving to be a perfect solution to the drought of quality content available this month on both digital and traditional platforms. I watched the show over the past few days, admittedly at a much slower pace than usual, but even still got sucked into the story of Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), a newly convicted resident of the federal penitentiary system. Orange represents an interesting cross between the distinctive styles of House of Cards — traditional serialized storytelling — and Arrested Development Season 4 — which is a Russian doll of flashbacks and interwoven events. The show, created by Weeds showrunner Jenji Kohan, chronicles Chapman and the eclectic ensemble cast’s coping with prison life, but makes heavy use of flashbacks to shed light on how many of the inmates came to be institutionalized. Other scenes flesh out Chapman’s life prior to conviction, and between those reveals, the peeks into the lives of others and the main storyline taking place within prison walls, the end result is both linear narrative and rich tapestry. The format has invited comparisons to the ABC series Lost, the difference being that while Lost overused its flashbacks and rarely shed much real light on the characters, there’s seasons worth of back story left in Orange. The only main flaw of the experience came every time a new episode started — as visually gripping as the opening sequence is, you can only listen to a Regina Spektor song so many times in a row; skipping forward to timecode 1:13 or so became habit for me by Episode 6. It’s been said before, but it’s worth saying again: If Netflix is building its future on binge-viewing, it really needs to address a clean solution for those who wish to skip past the opening sequences. Those who might wonder about Orange, know that the show’s quality is solid — while the cast doesn’t include any Oscar winners, there are plenty of non-unknowns in the game, including Jason Biggs, Taryn Manning, Natasha Lyonne, Laura Prepon and the amazing Kate Mulgrew as Red, who could easily be a stereotype of a character (tough Russian mobster turned tough Russian prison cook) but is a surprisingly vulnerable presence. Not only is the show strong (so strong that Netflix has already renewed it for a second season), Orange is the New Black represents a major milestone for the service: Previous show releases have been major events, and the channel has used the novelty of premiering original content in bulk to drive press coverage and audience attention. Now, however, Netflix seems to be seguing to a new phase of its operation — where subscribers can just come to expect, on a semi-regular basis, the launch of new great shows. Orange is the fourth series to launch on the service in 2013 — none other, aside from the animated content being produced by Dreamworks, have been announced. Which is frankly disappointing; with the exception of Hemlock Grove (which currently has a 44 percent rating on Metacritic), Netflix has set an impressive bar for high-quality original series over the last six months. Similarly to the golden age of HBO, where the end of The Sopranos meant the return of Six Feet Under, followed by a new season of The Wire, the steady stream of new, unique and intriguing series we’ve been getting from Netflix has created a new, and quite welcome, tradition of potentially award-worthy programming. Here’s the highest compliment I can pay: Other Netflix series have left me excited for more Kevin Spacey political scheming or Bluth family antics. But Orange is the first time that I’ve finished watching a show and been excited about what Netflix might release next.

Does anyone have this old recording? If so, could you please tell me how "Marvelous Party" begins on this recording? I had an album (back when one had LPs) of one Coward revue, and in it, the first thing you heard was the tinkling of ice in a glass as a rather Noel-like fellow woke from having been passed out, and moaned, dripping with sarcasm, "I've been to a marvelous party..." Only by the end of the song does he realize just how fun a party it was. Does this sound familiar? Is it the version on Oh Coward? If not, any idea what album it was? ALSO--totally unrelated--I once owned an LP of "Gorey by Grimes" (Tammy Grimes reading Edward Gorey poetry and books, hysterically). Of course it was never issued on CD. I can't seem to find the LP anywhere online. Anyone have a lead?

Seriously. Every site has different rules. It makes it almost impossible to come up with a password or pattern I can remember across three dozen different sites that all demand passwords. I know you're not "supposed" to use the same password on multiple sites, but it's easy to use one for "non-critical" sites (where you lose nothing if you get hacked, really), and then just have a simple pattern that is easy to remember to vary the passwords across other sites. But when different sites have different, and conflicting rules, it fucking sucks. Like one site demands that you use an upper-case, a lower-case, a number, AND a symbol, and that your password must be 10 characters or longer. A different site says your password must be 6-8 characters. Yet another says "no special characters". UGH! Fuck you all. Let ME choose the password. If I get hacked, let it be my fucking fault... not YOURS because you made me have to write down my damn password just to remember it. Either that or just get one UNIFORM set of standards. Seriously, this is fucking ridiculous.

Talk about nerve. Hoping to match History Channel's gigantic numbers for its 2012 miniseries Hatfields & McCoys, that cable network's sister station A&E has bankrolled a four-hour tale about the real-life outlaw couple Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. It's not exactly fresh material: In addition to countless history books and documentaries, the bloodthirsty pair's story has previously been told in Arthur Penn's 1967 drama Bonnie and Clyde, one of the most important American films of all time, in terms of its violence, sexuality, and ironic style. A&E hired Bruce Beresford (Driving Miss Daisy) to direct the project, and decided to air it simultaneously on A&E, History, and Lifetime, so kudos to them, I guess, for dreaming big. But this miniseries is terrible, as close to a complete waste of time as I've encountered in my two years of writing for this publication. In contrast to Penn's Bonnie and Clyde, or for that matter almost any gangster story you can name, this miniseries has no real point of view of its main characters — no sense of who they were beyond their most basic plot functions, much less what values they expressed or opposed. There's a smidgen of artistic POV in the dubious notion that Bonnie totally drove the relationship, while Clyde was a schlump who might have whiled away his twilight years in peace if that vain tart hadn't gotten her hooks into him. ("He held the gun. She called the shots," the ads assert, which would be silly even if we didn't see Bonnie firing actual shots in the clips.) Beyond that, this is another one of those dag-blasted historical potboilers that thinks "drama" equals "acting out stuff that happened." Clyde — played by Emile Hirsch, who has been excellent elsewhere but is close to a zero here — narrates the miniseries as a sort of extended rise-and-fall narrative, coupled with a foolish love story. This is the worst kind of narration — the kind that tells you things you could already see or intuit, when it's not smearing personal and historical factoids atop the scenes. Bonnie, played by Holliday Grainger of The Borgias, is a sexy hellion who attaches herself to Clyde as a means of escaping her humdrum existence. There's not much sense of the real-life Bonnie, who was comfortable around the "criminal element" long before she met Clyde and married a brutal criminal at age 16. This one just wants to be famous. She dreams of being an actress and practically falls apart when she gets a rejection letter from Columbia Pictures. She's the mastermind of Bonnie-and-Clyde-as-celebrities, the half of the couple who escalates violent situations or reacts to them with chilling indifference, and the fame-monger who obsessively maintains a scrapbook, comes up with the bright idea that "Bonnie" should go before "Clyde" in newspaper stories, and even confronts a reporter at home when she fails to get the order of billing right. Clyde, meanwhile, is depicted, rather half-assedly, as a quasi-mystical seeker, a man-child who had a vision of Bonnie as a much younger man and recognizes her as his dream girl: his destiny. Throughout the miniseries, Clyde comes off as essentially decent, if rather dumb and volatile, while Bonnie becomes more and more of a harpy, to the point that any love she once felt for Clyde is subsumed by a ravenous desire for more, more, more fame. This is vastly less complex, not to mention interesting, than the version of the relationship presented in the 1967 movie, where Bonnie and Clyde's thirst for notoriety was a team effort that came out of two very different dysfunctional family histories. An all-star supporting cast — including Holly Hunter as Bonnie's mother and William Hurt as Frank Hamer, who comes out of retirement to catch the duo — acts mostly in a void, their often precise and thoughtful choices presented in a blandly unimaginative manner. Were the miniseries well-made, its story might be engaging anyhow, in a bad-for-you-but-you-can't-stop-watching way. But the script, by Joe Bateer and John Rice, has no sense of shape; it's just a collection of things that happen

WTF
My sister has been taking care of my Dad who is in hospice care and not expected to live much longer. This past Saturday, my sister called me to say that "something beautiful" had just happened in Dad's room. A white light appeared on the wall. They thought it was a reflection of the sunlight coming in through the window so they shut the blinds and darkened the room. My sister says it only got brighter. I linked the photo below. (Dad's in a deep sleep, not yet gone.) My best friend's mother is also in hospice and he went to see her this weekend. A white light (he says looks exactly like his late father) appeared over her bed too. And they also got a (more indistinct) picture. So I went online and started reading. It seems this phenomenon is pretty common. Has anyone else had an experience like this? I'm floored by it!

Any UK DataLoungers watching this? Second episode airs on BBC4 tonight. Don’t Ever Wipe Tears Without Gloves (BBC Four) is an award-winning Swedish drama about the Aids epidemic in Eighties Stockholm. Touching, bleak, at times painful to watch, this was a stark reminder of the disease’s impact. Based on Jonas Gardell’s novel Love, the first of three episodes introduced us to Rasmus (Adam Palsson), a 19-year-old from a provincial country town who throws himself into the city’s gay scene on leaving home for the first time, and Benjamin (Adam Lundgren), a reserved Jehovah’s Witness slowly coming to terms with his sexuality. We met the two protagonists in childhood, then as adults at a extravagant Christmas party thrown by Paul (Simon J Berger), with horrific flash-forwards to them in hospital beds just hours from death. “The story you are about to see is true,” said the voice-over. “It happened here, in this city. It was like a war fought in peacetime.” It was not an easy story to watch. It was, however, beautifully shot, flipping between shaky footage of men loitering under lampposts in Stockholm’s parks and cosy, softly-lit family scenes of the boys’ unsuspecting families. Symbolism was used very effectively, from the handprint on the window to the majestic white elk (“In some parts of the forest there are whole herds of them,” Rasmus’s father told him as a boy. “People shoot them because they are different.”) Paul was a brilliant character – flamboyant, self-deprecating, the very image of Rasmus and Benjamin’s parents’ worst nightmares with his feather boas and flowery wallpaper. The story developed quickly, giving us just enough of a glimpse into the world in which Rasmus and Benjamin found themselves – in parts seedy, yet also close-knit. The final scene, of the two lovers holding hands in the street, snow softly falling all around, was visually stunning, but a stark reminder that the worst is yet to come.

I have a really big family, somewhere around 45-50 adults, and for quite a few of us we only see eachother at the family's huge get togethers at x-mas time, so my grandmother picks names out of hat for who we are to buy a present for and then calls to let us know. This year I got my half-brother's new wife. I don't know her at all and I barely know my half-brother. He's 17 years older than I am so I saw very little of him growing up as he was out of the house to college and then the military. Pretty much the only time I've spent with him has been when he's been able to be at the giant x-mas gatherings at my grandmother's house. I had no idea what to get her so my grandmother offered to try to find out what she might want. My grandmother just called and told me what she wants is a "serious purse" . I have no idea what that means, and neither does my grandmother. I guess when she asked my half-brother's wife what a serious purse was she just laughed and said that I'd know what she meant. (WTF?) I have no idea what she meant by that, or what a "serious purse" is. Does that mean an expensive or designer purse? Or a work purse? Or what? Anyone have any idea what it is?
When does a relationship between therapist and their patients go too far? When does it start to be a bit strange? So I have this friend who goes to a therapist. Nothing unusual. She also goes to the group therapy. Nothing unusual. She also became good friends with a couple of the others going to the group therapy. Nothing unusual. I find it strange how the revere their (female) therapist. Now when they have an event, they invite the therapist. They are on first-name terms with their therapists and also 'friends' on facebook. One published a book (I read a couple of pages, it's IMO tirdsome) and the therapist is commenting on facebook all the time aboug how wonderful and superb the book is and on which page she currently is. Of course the therapist also appears in the book along with her contact details. Maybe I'm jealous but I find all of this very strange. And I can't talk to my friend about as she won't hear any 'critical' opinions about the therapist.
Dang. The Orwellian doublespeak they keep coming up with is staggering. I hope some of his teabagging nitwit followers are among the 1.3 million. Extending federal unemployment benefits would actually be a “disservice” to the millions of out-of-work Americans who receive them, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said Sunday. "I do support unemployment benefits for the 26 weeks that they're paid for. If you extend it beyond that, you do a disservice to these workers," the popular Tea Party Republican said on “Fox News Sunday." "When you allow people to be on unemployment insurance for 99 weeks, you're causing them to become part of this perpetual unemployed group in our economy," Paul added. Paul’s comments come in response to efforts by congressional Democrats to extend the benefits as part of a year-end budget deal, but most Republicans have rejected the package due to the estimated $25 billion price tag. About 1.3 million jobless Americans are slated to lose their federal benefits at the end of the year if Congress doesn’t renew the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program that provides a federal safety net to the long-term jobless whose state benefits have expired.

Before the Affordable Care Act became law in 2010, President Obama promised Americans they could keep their healthcare plan if they liked it. But already hundreds of thousands of citizens are receiving notification that their plans are being cancelled because they don't comply with the new law, and, according to NBC News, the Obama administration has known for at least three years the cancellations were coming. While campaigning for health care reform in 2009, Obama went out of his way to make one thing perfectly clear: if you like your current health care plan, you will be able to keep it. On June 15, 2009, Obama said this: "We will keep this promise to the American people. If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your healthcare plan, you will be able to keep your healthcare plan. Period.” In 2012, he echoed that sentiment, saying, "“If [you] already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance.” However, many are finding that not to be the case. More than 300,000 cancellation notices have been sent out in Florida, according to Kaiser Health News, and another 180,000 in California. In New Jersey, the number of cancellations tops 800,000, the Star-Ledger reports. According to NBC News, approximately 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million Americans who buy their health insurance individually should expect to receive a cancellation letter over the next year "because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new health care law." This could result in millions of Americans being forced to purchase different policies, potentially at higher premiums. Top 5 Product Launch FailuresPlay video." Top 5 Product Launch Failures So how did the Obama administration know the cancellations would be coming? The Affordable Care Act states that people who had health insurance prior to March 23, 2010 – the day President Obama signed the bill into law – will be able to keep those policies even if they don't meet the requirements of the new law. However, the Department of Health and Human Services tightened that provision, so that "if any part of a policy was significantly changed since that date -- the deductible, co-pay, or benefits, for example -- the policy would not be grandfathered," NBC News reports. Because the market for individual insurance experiences significant turnover, the insinuation is the Obama administration had to have known many policies "grandfathered" in would not qualify for the ACA. NBC News claims that the administration knew in 2010 that "more than 40 to 67 percent of those in the individual market would not be able to keep their plans, even if they liked them." “This says that when they made the promise [that individuals could keep their plans], they knew half the people in this market outright couldn’t keep what they had and then they wrote the rules so that others couldn’t make it either,” Robert Laszewski of Health Policy and Strategy Associates told NBC News. Monday, former Obama adviser David Axelrod said on MSNBC's Morning Joe that "most people are going to keep their own plan." When asked about Axelrod's admission of "most" as opposed to all, White House spokesman Jay Carney acknowledge that some individual's plans will be cancelled, but countered that the plans they switch to will be better and affordable. "What the president said and what everybody said all along is that there are going to be changes brought about by the Affordable Care Act to create minimum standards of coverage," Carney said. "… So it's true that there are existing health-care plans on the individual market that don't meet those minimum standards and therefore do not qualify for the Affordable Care Act." Actually, what the President said back in 2009 was "[the Affordable Care Act] is for people who aren’t happy with their current plan. If you like what you’re getting, keep it. Nobody is forcing you to shift." Only now, some who like their plans are being forced, including Laszewski. According to NBC News, he has a so-called "Cadillac plan" – "the best

Congratulations America. You've officially become the cruelest nation on earth. Oh and btw, the money they are taking from food stamps are going to corporate farms, basically billionaires. This is only the beginning. Politicians on both sides want to take another 33 billion from food stamps. All of you who cheer this should hope every second of your life you will never find yourself in a position to need help from the government. Once they've sucked the programs for the poorest dry they'll be coming for SS, Medicare and unemployment.

I'm one of the people who just tonight began looking at the health insurance programs offered to me in my state under the health insurance exchange program which is part of the very much needed ObamaCare program. I'd like for this thread to be a place where we can all talk about what we need, how we figure out how to get it, and what we should look for in a private health insurance program. I encourage all people with a previously diagnosed illness, HIV+, diabetic and more to participate. We can help each other. I spent only one hour and I found my best plan, it isn't that hard to do. Let's help each other figure this out before November 15. Kisses.
With Tom Daley coming out as bisexual, will other men follow his lead? And if not, why not, asks Patrick McAleenan As a gay man, I have mostly avoided dating bisexual men, but perhaps that's because I fell in love with one once. (He’s now married. To a woman.) Or perhaps there's another reason. Perhaps I haven't met enough of them, which would be understandable considering they are often compelled to remain closeted when it comes to their split sexuality. If that last point seems a stark generalisation, consider this. There's a pretty long list of famous women who have come out as bisexual: Anna Paquin, Evan Rachel Wood and Lindsey Lohan, to name a few recent examples. But with his admirable coming out earlier this week, diver Tom Daley is the most notable famous man. David Bowie circa 1970 doesn’t count. It was a long, long time ago. Daley’s revelation is considered significant because he is a sportsman at the peak of his abilities, and very few top athletes have outed themselves over the years. But will the news lead to a mass coming-out among male bisexuals? I sincerely doubt it. You can understand why. Society as a whole views bisexual males and females differently. I’ve sat at many dinner parties where the female guests have openly admitted to same sex attractions or experiences, but a man doing the same is simply not the norm. While a woman might receive a nod of approval, a bisexual man can still generate a stunned silence and a quick skip to the next course. We may have relaxed about out-and-proud gay men, but guys who admit to a dabble still face the questioning stares, and whispers of “is he gay, straight or lying?" Of course, men and women differ in sexual responses, attractions and desires. Women tend to be more flexible in their sexuality, but whether that’s innate or a function of living in a society where Katy Perry is worshipped for singing a song called ‘I Kissed a Girl’, and Madonna snogs Britney Spears on stage, remains to be seen. Young women are regularly bombarded with the message that bisexuality is something sexy to explore and display, but mainly for one reason: men like it. Had Justin Bieber released a song about flirting with bisexuality, it would have been career suicide. Had Michael Jackson followed Madonna's marketing strategy and kissed a male singer on stage, his reputation would have been destroyed long before his unfortunate demise. Male bisexuality is simply hard for many straight people to tolerate. Few would disagree that it’s seen as more acceptable for women to show affection to one another and be more physically close than men are. As a result, male bisexuality is more hidden. Many bisexual men are also in relationships with women who have no idea their partner likes both her and other "hims". It cannot be easy for a man to confess to his girlfriend that he is bisexual, and his partner is bound to worry that bisexuality is the beginning of the end of the relationship, which will conclude in a “bi now, gay later” scenario. Many writers and psychologists have wondered whether most self-confessed male bisexuals are simply homosexual men either in denial or trying to “have it both ways” - having sex with men while holding on to heterosexual privilege. Aside from the potential hurt that may be caused if the bisexuality is revealed, bisexual men face a real threat of abuse or violence. A 2013 hate crime report by Galop.org.uk, London’s leading anti-LGBT hate crime charity, showed that 1008 homophobic crimes were reported in London during 2012/13. Prejudice, stigma and abuse of bisexual people originates both within and outside LGBT communities, and is a hidden problem. But if male bisexuality remains underground, then there's no way to have an open conversation about it and the myths and challenges surrounding it. Once that conversation is out in the open, we would soon reach an important question: why does it matter if men are bisexual or not? Whether they are largely gay but just haven't accepted the fact yet, or largely straight with a touch of gay thrown in, out of date ideas about who gets to have what kind of sex are bad for everyone. There are potentially many men who feel they have to suppress healthy, normal sexual feelings to avoid judgement, or even worse. Male bisexuality remains a challenging and confusing subject for most people, and often most of all for the bisexual man himself. The only way that will change is if we're prepared to talk about it more.

Trailer for the upcoming movie "Gravity" starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney; astronauts attempt to return to Earth when their space station is shattered by debris. The screenplay is credited only to Alfonso Cuaron (who also directed) and Jonas Cuaron, but I swear I read a sci-fi story with the same basic plot when I was a child -- I can't remember if it was a space station near Earth or near Mars, but it gets hit and the survivors, in their space suits, are drifting away from each other, inevitably to die, but still able to communicate with each other. Anybody else know this story?
I just arrived last night here in Seoul and I have a round of consultation appointments today at various clinics. Which clinic I choose, I am to have the surgery tomorrow or the next day. I am thinking of getting rhinoplasty, sliding genioplasty, and maybe liposuction under the jaw to make my jaw look more defined and masculine. Jealous, bitches? Anyone here have plastic surgery before?
Joachim Gauck is first major political figure to boycott Games, understood to be in response to Russia's rights violations The German president has become the first major political figure to boycott the Sochi Winter Olympics in February. According to German weekly Der Spiegel, Joachim Gauck last week told the Kremlin of his decision, which is understood to be a response to the Russian government's violations of human rights and harassment of the opposition. Gauck, a former Lutheran pastor who played a key part in the East German protest movement before the fall of the Berlin Wall, has declined any official visits to Russia since coming to office in March 2012 and repeatedly criticised the country's "deficit of rule of law" and "air of imperialism". In June, a scheduled meeting between Gauck and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, was cancelled – supposedly because of clashing schedules. Gauck visited the Olympics and the Paralympics in London last summer. The head of the Russian parliament's foreign delegation on Sunday criticised Gauck's decision. Alexey Pushkov tweeted: "The German president Gauck has not criticised the killing of children and women in Pakistan and Afghanistan. But he is so critical of Russia that he doesn't even want to travel to Sochi." The boycott is the first of the Games by a major political figure. So far, it has mainly been artists and activists such as Stephen Fry, Harvey Fierstein and Lady Gaga who have called for a boycott of the Sochi Games in reaction to a new Russian law that criminalises gay "propaganda". In an open letter in June to the British prime minister and the IOC, Fry said "an absolute ban on the Russian Winter Olympics of 2014 in Sochi is simply essential". David Cameron has ruled out a boycott, arguing that anti-gay prejudice would be better tackled by presence rather than absence. The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, has since echoed Cameron's stance, pointing to the Eurovision song contest in Azerbaijan as proof that public attention could do more to change attitudes than boycotts. In July, US senator Lindsey Graham also called for a US boycott of the Gamesin July, though his motives had been slightly different: the South Carolina Republican said Russia needed to be rebuked for offering asylum to Edward Snowden. While Germany under chancellors Gerhard Schröder and Merkel has traditionally been keen to tread carefully in diplomatic exchanges with Russia, a standoff between Gauck and Putin has seemed only a matter of time. Gauck, in his post-1989 role as special representative for Stasi archives, has come to represent a systematic investigation into the crimes of East Germany's surveillance state, while former KGB agent Putin has overseen the rehabilitation of secret service personnel during his time in power. In German political circles, it is no secret that there is little love lost between the two presidents. On Sunday, Gauck's office confirmed he had declined to travel to Russia next February, but seemed to pull back from explicitly describing his decision as a boycott. A spokeswoman said there was no fixed rule that the president had to visit the Olympics, and that president Horst Köhler did not visit the 2010 Games in Vancouver. The German Union of Olympic Athletes said no visit by the president to Sochi had ever been planned in the first place. Gauck was, however, planning to take part in a welcoming party in Munich for returning German Olympians.
I caught a few episodes of this show last year. Meh. A few weeks ago I was spending the weekend with my family (very rural, no cable) and caught the show again. I was shocked- I laughed my ass off, and loved how the "two different worlds" theme had developed. I know it's "family friendly" and somewhat lowbrow...but the execution is flawless and the chemistry is awesome. The subtle, "over the head" jokes are (and I risk credibility and goodwill by typing this) at the level of "Arrested Development". Working in a "Dick in a Box" joke into a show like this? Brilliant. Anyone else watching?

So I was unboxing some stuff and found this bottle of wine that was given to me when I graduated from High School in 1998. So I was like, ooooo gurl, I'm gonna have me some wine with a vintage. So I open that shit up and the cork shreds and it smelled like fucking ass vinegar. What the fuck? So I Google and discover that corked wine spoils. So how in the hell do these people keep these 200 year old wines around?

First, he insists that there be a meal of hot tamales, which he usually gets shipped in from Texas. I can deal with it, even though they are pork and the essential element is LARD. But, he insists on making chili with that. And he goes BALLISTIC over the idea that we put kidney beans in the chili. He says chili is about peppers, not beans and will not allow it. He gets hostile, even. So here we go: lard-pork tamales and this beef soup made with five types of peppers, tomato paste and beer.

The hauntingly brutal nonfiction film Blackfish focuses on those leaping, frolicking, seemingly happy-go-lucky (even dolphin-esque) whales in captivity in places like SeaWorld, where every so often they’ll crunch down on a foot or arm and drag someone under until he or she drowns. And then you glimpse something wrong — something monstrous and unnatural — in this picture. And once you do, you won’t be the same. The film begins in 2010, when esteemed 40-year-old trainer Dawn Brancheau was killed by a whale named Tilikum before a horrified Orlando SeaWorld crowd. The incident was generally viewed as a freak accident. The first wave of reports said that Brancheau had slipped and fallen into the water, the next (the version SeaWorld still stands by) that Tilikum had gone for Brancheau’s inappropriately dangling ponytail. But this was — by all credible accounts — a savage attack. Tilikum had killed before, once at a place called SeaLand in Vancouver, once (possibly) at SeaWorld in Orlando. (The problem is that no one could prove what had actually happened to a disturbed man who’d snuck into SeaWorld after hours and was found in the morning on Tilikum’s back, naked and dead.) The big fella remains at SeaWorld, by most definitions psychotic but a source of million-dollar sperm to make more orcas for more lucrative fish shows. What’s an aquatic theme park without a killer whale? This is one of those docs during which audiences gasp and cry out — or just cry — at regular intervals. Sometimes we cry for the humans, sometimes for the whales. After the prologue that alludes to Brancheau’s fate (we must wait more than an hour to hear the full story), director Gabriella Cowperthwaite cuts to a burly, bushy old guy who took part in a 1970 expedition to steal baby whales from their mothers to supply the burgeoning fish-show industry. The man is an ex-mercenary who claims to have toppled presidents. But what he can’t forget are those whales. Orcas, you see, don’t part so easily with their children. Cowperthwaite animates what happened while a researcher narrates. The males attempted to divert the human predators while the females and children swam the other way. A brilliant diversion — spoiled by a spotter plane that relayed the whereabouts of mothers and children. Whales are complicated, intelligent, highly emotional beings. They stick by their mothers for life in family pods. A mother who loses a child will make the kind of sound that transcends species. You hear that sound in Blackfish. You will never forget it. Tilikum was one of those young ones snatched from his mother. Former Orlando SeaWorld trainers recall the anguish of mothers losing children (SeaWorld would ship babies to other parks), the excruciating solitary confinement of orcas like Tilikum, and even how males’ dorsal fins, erect in the wild, would sadly go limp and curl over in captivity. Those ex-trainers are riveting subjects, chiseled and eloquent. And traumatized. Editor Eli Espres will cut back and forth from their tearful recollections to footage of their younger selves, smiling and spouting their insipidly hearty SeaWorld spiels. I loved listening to curly-haired Samantha Berg (now living at the opposite end of the U.S. — in Alaska), Dean Gummersall (especially cretinous as a SeaWorld spokesman in his early days, now appropriately and likably embarrassed), John Jett, and especially the weathered, sardonic Dr. David Duffus. But I shouldn’t single anyone out—they’re all compelling. They all came to love those whales, even Tilikum, driven mad by isolation and regular attacks by the tag-team torture of formidable mama whales. There was no place else for him to swim. The movie unfolds like a thriller. We see trainers seconds away from their deaths — which are not, mercifully, shown. But the near-deaths are shown and are awful enough. Top trainer Ken Edwards is repeatedly pulled under by a whale (not Tilikum) that will not let him go. It went on for twelve agonizing minutes.
John Waters' no-smoking PSA I didn't realize he used to be hot.
America is a country that is now utterly divided when it comes to its society, its economy, its politics. There are definitely two Americas. I live in one, on one block in Baltimore that is part of the viable America, the America that is connected to its own economy, where there is a plausible future for the people born into it. About 20 blocks away is another America entirely. It’s astonishing how little we have to do with each other, and yet we are living in such proximity. There’s no barbed wire around West Baltimore or around East Baltimore, around Pimlico, the areas in my city that have been utterly divorced from the American experience that I know. But there might as well be. We’ve somehow managed to march on to two separate futures and I think you’re seeing this more and more in the west. I don’t think it’s unique to America. I think we’ve perfected a lot of the tragedy and we’re getting there faster than a lot of other places that may be a little more reasoned, but my dangerous idea kind of involves this fellow who got left by the wayside in the 20th century and seemed to be almost the butt end of the joke of the 20th century; a fellow named Karl Marx. I’m not a Marxist in the sense that I don’t think Marxism has a very specific clinical answer to what ails us economically. I think Marx was a much better diagnostician than he was a clinician. He was good at figuring out what was wrong or what could be wrong with capitalism if it wasn’t attended to and much less credible when it comes to how you might solve that. You know if you’ve read Capital or if you’ve got the Cliff Notes, you know that his imaginings of how classical Marxism – of how his logic would work when applied – kind of devolve into such nonsense as the withering away of the state and platitudes like that. But he was really sharp about what goes wrong when capital wins unequivocally, when it gets everything it asks for. That may be the ultimate tragedy of capitalism in our time, that it has achieved its dominance without regard to a social compact, without being connected to any other metric for human progress. We understand profit. In my country we measure things by profit. We listen to the Wall Street analysts. They tell us what we’re supposed to do every quarter. The quarterly report is God. Turn to face God. Turn to face Mecca, you know. Did you make your number? Did you not make your number? Do you want your bonus? Do you not want your bonus? And that notion that capital is the metric, that profit is the metric by which we’re going to measure the health of our society is one of the fundamental mistakes of the last 30 years. I would date it in my country to about 1980 exactly, and it has triumphed. Capitalism stomped the hell out of Marxism by the end of the 20th century and was predominant in all respects, but the great irony of it is that the only thing that actually works is not ideological, it is impure, has elements of both arguments and never actually achieves any kind of partisan or philosophical perfection. It’s pragmatic, it includes the best aspects of socialistic thought and of free-market capitalism and it works because we don’t let it work entirely. And that’s a hard idea to think – that there isn’t one single silver bullet that gets us out of the mess we’ve dug for ourselves. But man, we’ve dug a mess. After the second world war, the west emerged with the American economy coming out of its wartime extravagance, emerging as the best product. It was the best product. It worked the best. It was demonstrating its might not only in terms of what it did during the war but in terms of just how facile it was in creating mass wealth. Plus, it provided a lot more freedom and was doing the one thing that guaranteed that the 20th century was going to be – and forgive the jingoistic sound of this – the American century. It took a working class that had no discretionary income at the beginning of the century, which was working on subsistence wages. It turned it into a consumer class that not only had money to buy all the stuff that they needed to live but enough to buy a bunch of shit that they wanted but didn’t need, and that was the engine that drove us. It wasn’t just that we could supply stuff, or that we had the factories or know-how or capital, it was that we created our own demand and started exporting that demand throughout the west. And the standard of living made it possible to manufacture stuff at an incredible rate and sell it. And how did we do that? We did that by not giving in to either side. That was the new deal. That was the great society. That was all of that argument about collective bargaining and union wages and it was an argument that meant neither side gets to win. Labour doesn’t get to win all its arguments, capital doesn’t get to. But it’s in the tension, it’s in the actual fight between the two, that capitalism actually becomes functional, that it becomes something that every stratum in society has a stake in, that they all share. The unions actually mattered. The unions were part of the equation. It didn’t matter that they won all the time, it didn’t matter that they lost all the time, it just mattered that they had to win some of the time and they had to put up a fight and they had to argue for the demand and the equation and for the idea that workers were not worth less, they were worth more. Ultimately we abandoned that and believed in the idea of trickle-down and the idea of the market economy and the market knows best, to the point where now libertarianism in my country is actually being taken seriously as an intelligent mode of political thought. It’s astonishing to me. But it is. People are saying I don’t need anything but my own ability to earn a profit. I’m not connected to society. I don’t care how the road got built, I don’t care where the firefighter comes from, I don’t care who educates the kids other than my kids. I am me. It’s the triumph of the self. I am me, hear me roar. That we’ve gotten to this point is astonishing to me because basically in winning its victory, in seeing that Wall come down and seeing the former Stalinist state’s journey towards our way of thinking in terms of markets or being vulnerable, you would have thought that we would have learned what works. Instead we’ve descended into what can only be described as greed. This is just greed. This is an inability to see that we’re all connected, that the idea of two Americas is implausible, or two Australias, or two Spains or two Frances. Societies are exactly what they sound like. If everybody is invested and if everyone just believes that they have “some”, it doesn’t mean that everybody’s going to get the same amount. It doesn’t mean there aren’t going to be people who are the venture capitalists who stand to make the most. It’s not each according to their needs or anything that is purely Marxist, but it is that everybody feels as if, if the society succeeds, I succeed, I don’t get left behind. And there isn’t a society in the west now, right now, that is able to sustain that for all of its population. And so in my country you’re seeing a horror show. You’re seeing a retrenchment in terms of family income, you’re seeing the abandonment of basic services, such as public education, functional public education. You’re seeing the underclass hunted through an alleged war on dangerous drugs that is in fact merely a war on the poor and has turned us into the most incarcerative state in the history of mankind, in terms of the sheer numbers of people we’ve put in American prisons and the percentage of Americans we put into prisons. No other country on the face of the Earth jails people at the number and rate that we are. We have become something other than what we claim for the American dream and all because of our inability to basically share, to even contemplate a socialist impulse. Socialism is a dirty word in my country. I have to give that disclaimer at the beginning of every speech, “Oh by the way I’m not a Marxist you know”. I lived through the 20th century. I don’t believe that a state-run economy can be as viable as market capitalism in producing mass wealth. I don’t. I’m utterly committed to the idea that capitalism has to be the way we generate mass wealth in the coming century. That argument’s over. But the idea that it’s not going to be married to a social compact, that how you distribute the benefits of capitalism isn’t going to include everyone in the society to a reasonable extent, that’s astonishing to me. And so capitalism is about to seize defeat from the jaws of victory all by its own hand. That’s the astonishing end of this story, unless we reverse course. Unless we take into consideration, if not the remedies of Marx then the diagnosis, because he saw what would happen if capital triumphed unequivocally, if it got everything it wanted. And one of the things that capital would want unequivocally and for certain is the diminishment of labour. They would want labour to be diminished because labour’s a cost. And if labour is diminished, let’s translate that: in human terms, it means human beings are worth less. From this moment forward unless we reverse course, the average human being is worth less on planet Earth. Unless we take stock of the fact that maybe socialism and the socialist impulse has to be addressed again; it has to be married as it was married in the 1930s, the 1940s and even into the 1950s, to the engine that is capitalism. Mistaking capitalism for a blueprint as to how to build a society strikes me as a really dangerous idea in a bad way. Capitalism is a remarkable engine again for producing wealth. It’s a great tool to have in your toolbox if you’re trying to build a society and have that society advance. You wouldn’t want to go forward at this point without it. But it’s not a blueprint for how to build the just society. There are other metrics besides that quarterly profit report. The idea that the market will solve such things as environmental concerns, as our racial divides, as our class distinctions, our problems with educating and incorporating one generation of workers into the economy after the other when that economy is changing; the idea that the market is going to heed all of the human concerns and still maximise profit is juvenile. It’s a juvenile notion and it’s still being argued in my country passionately and we’re going down the tubes. And it terrifies me because I’m astonished at how comfortable we are in absolving ourselves of what is basically a moral choice. Are we all in this together or are we all not? If you watched the debacle that was, and is, the fight over something as basic as public health policy in my country over the last couple of years, imagine the ineffectiveness that Americans are going to offer the world when it comes to something really complicated like global warming. We can’t even get healthcare for our citizens on a basic level. And the argument comes down to: “Goddamn this socialist president. Does he think I’m going to pay to keep other people healthy? That’s socialism you know. HMO [health-maintenance organisation] contract. Motherfucker.” What do you think group health insurance is? You know you ask these guys, “Do you have group health insurance where you …?” “Oh yeah, I get …” you know, “my law firm …” So when you get sick you’re able to afford the treatment. The treatment comes because you have enough people in your law firm so you’re able to get health insurance enough for them to stay healthy. So the actuarial tables work and all of you, when you do get sick, are able to have the resources there to get better because you’re relying on the idea of the group. Yeah. And they nod their heads, and you go “Brother, that’s socialism. You know it is.” And … you know when you say, OK, we’re going to do what we’re doing for your law firm but we’re going to do it for 300 million Americans and we’re going to make it affordable for everybody that way. And yes, it means that you’re going to be paying for the other guys in the society, the same way you pay for the other guys in the law firm … Their eyes glaze. You know they don’t want to hear it. It’s too much. Too much to contemplate the idea that the whole country might be actually connected. So I’m astonished that at this late date I’m standing here and saying we might want to go back for this guy Marx that we were laughing at, if not for his prescriptions, then at least for his depiction of what is possible if you don’t mitigate the authority of capitalism, if you don’t embrace some other values for human endeavour. And that’s what The Wire was about basically, it was about people who were worth less and who were no longer necessary, as maybe 10 or 15% of my country is no longer necessary to the operation of the economy. It was about them trying to solve, for lack of a better term, an existential crisis. In their irrelevance, their economic irrelevance, they were nonetheless still on the ground occupying this place called Baltimore and they were going to have to endure somehow. That’s the great horror show. What are we going to do with all these people that we’ve managed to marginalise? It was kind of interesting when it was only race, when you could do this on the basis of people’s racial fears and it was just the black and brown people in American cities who had the higher rates of unemployment and the higher rates of addiction and were marginalised and had the shitty school systems and the lack of opportunity. And kind of interesting in this last recession to see the economy shrug and start to throw white middle-class people into the same boat, so that they became vulnerable to the drug war, say from methamphetamine, or they became unable to qualify for college loans. And all of a sudden a certain faith in the economic engine and the economic authority of Wall Street and market logic started to fall away from people. And they realised it’s not just about race, it’s about something even more terrifying. It’s about class. Are you at the top of the wave or are you at the bottom? So how does it get better? In 1932, it got better because they dealt the cards again and there was a communal logic that said nobody’s going to get left behind. We’re going to figure this out. We’re going to get the banks open. From the depths of that depression a social compact was made between worker, between labour and capital that actually allowed people to have some hope. We’re either going to do that in some practical way when things get bad enough or we’re going to keep going the way we’re going, at which point there’s going to be enough people standing on the outside of this mess that somebody’s going to pick up a brick, because you know when people get to the end there’s always the brick. I hope we go for the first option but I’m losing faith. The other thing that was there in 1932 that isn’t there now is that some element of the popular will could be expressed through the electoral process in my country. The last job of capitalism – having won all the battles against labour, having acquired the ultimate authority, almost the ultimate moral authority over what’s a good idea or what’s not, or what’s valued and what’s not – the last journey for capital in my country has been to buy the electoral process, the one venue for reform that remained to Americans. Right now capital has effectively purchased the government, and you witnessed it again with the healthcare debacle in terms of the $450m that was heaved into Congress, the most broken part of my government, in order that the popular will never actually emerged in any of that legislative process. So I don’t know what we do if we can’t actually control the representative government that we claim will manifest the popular will. Even if we all start having the same sentiments that I’m arguing for now, I’m not sure we can effect them any more in the same way that we could at the rise of the Great Depression, so maybe it will be the brick. But I hope not.

The American porn industry is facing shut down once again, after another performer tested positive for HIV this week. Neither the name nor gender of the performer have been released but the adult-film industry trade group Free Speech Coalition has called for all filming to be suspended following the positive test at a Los Angeles testing centre, the LA Times reports. If the shut down goes ahead, it would be the third time filming has been stopped this year. Diane Duke, from the Free Speech Coalition, said: "We take the health of our performers very seriously and felt that it was better to err on the side of caution while we determine whether anyone else may have been exposed. "The next steps will be to perform additional tests, determine a timeline, and identify any first generation partners. "We want to make sure all performers are protected. The performers' health and safety is the most important thing." The industry was previously shut down in August after an actress tested positive for HIV , and again in September when a doctor reported another performer had tested positive. The AIDS Healthcare Foundation told the LA Times they hoped this latest case would encourage agencies to enforce a law requiring condom use in adults films.

Via his Twitter account, Boston Globe critic Ty Burr offered a behind-the-the scenes look at the votes, and Peter Keough kept a live tally on Critics a Go-Go. Here's what we learned: 12 Years a Slave came second to Nebraska for Ensemble Cast, with some suggesting August: Osage County's Meryl Streep for "our annual Anne Bancroft Award for Overacting." Best Screenplay took five ballots to decide, with Enough Said prevailing over The Wolf of Wall Street. Again, Burr expressed regret more voters hadn't seen Wolf. Voting for Best Animated Film was preceded by a statement from Village Voice critic Inkoo Kang, who echoed accusations that Hayao Miyazaki's The Wind Rises goes easy on war criminals. After a polite debate, The Wind Rises won the award, with Frozen finishing a close second and four critics abstaining. The Act of Killing's Joshua Oppenheimer finished second for Best New Filmmaker, winning best documentary shortly thereafter. Wong Kar-Wai's The Grandmaster finished second for cinematography. Burr quipped that the "best editing" award should be changed to "most editing," a complaint often lodged of the Academy Awards as well. The Wolf of Wall Street came second; Burr speculated it might have done better had more critics been able to see the film first. Runners-up for "Best Use of Music," an award unique to the BSFC, were Nebraska and The Wolf of Wall Street.

The only gay actor who was a box office draw and who played gay.... This was 50-60 years ago. He was an expert performer who is largely forgotten--does he embarrass the gay cultural elite?
Zombie!
I realize this show has been around for years but, as always, I am late to the party. What a great show. Everyone is very calm and serene. No over-the-top reporting. The stories are diverse and I find them interesting and informative. Bus safety, The Black Keys (?), Cuban BBQ, Guam...they make it all very interesting. Anyone else a fan to this sweet way to start Sunday mornings?
Negative restaurant reviews are a dime a dozen. Negative customer reviews? Not so much. Or so we thought. Brave Cafe, a restaurant in Sydney, Australia, may be disrupting the status quo. The Bondi Beach cafe's owner launched an epic exchange with customer Paul Martin on December 2 after Martin wrote a few negative words about the place. "Dirty. Ants. Burnt food. Extortionate prices," Martin wrote on December 1st on Brave Cafe's Facebook page and in a review of Brave Cafe on his blog, Paul in Oz. The next morning Martin woke up to a vicious response via Facebook from Brave Cafe owner Benjamin Hewitt, which Martin then published on his blog. "Paul, I’m shocked to hear that you didn’t love the food and enjoy the vibe," the message started. It quickly spiraled out of control from there. In response to Martin's complaint that there wasn't enough maple syrup on his pancakes, Hewitt wrote: Your table said that you weren’t happy with the amount of maple, for instance. Well, for one, we actually use REAL maple syrup at $50 per litre! But why not just politely ask for some more at the time instead of waiting until 10pm that night to take revenge? And then there was this outburst: Do you know how to/can you simultaneously manage ten, gen Y part-timers, so well, that you are able to ubiquitously catch every sloppy act of laziness (and there are more than you can ever prepare or train for these days), across a menu that has so many components and potential pit-falls-before they are almost certainly pounced upon by the average, ‘scarcity-based, pumped-up, myopic consumer-come-casual-social-media-activist-OUTRAGE-readied-advocate’ for unreasonably great food, at unreasonably cheap prices, in impossible time frames??? Well, if you haven’t, I don’t really recommend it. In defending the price of Brave Cafe's organic gluten-free pancakes, whose flour is "6 times more expensive than the regular crap bleached flour you would get anywhere else," Hewitt wrote: Thanks for throwing it on just to kick our business, even although the price is right and that what happened was out of my control. No, really. Thanks Paul. Martin handed it back to Hewitt on his blog, addressing each point, from ants -- he flicked off 8-10 from his table -- to the burnt pancakes -- so hard you could use them as a hammer. He suggested Hewitt "invest in a people-skills course." We haven't seen an online meltdown like this since Amy's Baking Company lost its sh*t after the owners appeared on Gordon Ramsay's "Kitchen Nightmares" and caused Ramsay to walk off his show for the first time ever. When accusations surfaced over how owners Amy and Samy Bouzaglo yell at their customers and steal tips from their employees, the Bouzaglo's responses on Facebook were nothing short of insane.
Restaurant Owner Unleashes Insane Rant After Customer's Bad Review
The world mourned the death of Nelson Mandela on Thursday, but at least one British columnist wanted it to stop mourning quite so much. Rod Liddle--a writer for the Spectator magazine whose views on race tend towards the incendiary--scoffed at the amounts of coverage he was seeing on the BBC: It's as if the poor bugger now has to bear your entire self-flagellating white post-colonial bien pensant guilt; look! Famous nice black man dies! Let's re-run the entire history of South Africa. That's better than watching the country we're in being flattened by a storm. Liddle hedged his bets by allowing that, "on balance," Mandela had probably done good in the world. Criticism came swiftly.

DENVER -- A baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex ceremony must serve gay couples despite his religious beliefs or face fines, a judge said Friday. The order from administrative law judge Robert N. Spencer said Masterpiece Cakeshop in suburban Denver discriminated against a couple "because of their sexual orientation by refusing to sell them a wedding cake for their same-sex marriage." The order says the cake-maker must "cease and desist from discriminating" against gay couples. Although the judge did not impose fines in this case, the business will face penalties if it continues to turn away gay couples who want to buy cakes. The American Civil Liberties Union filed a complaint against shop owner Jack Phillips with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission last year on behalf of Charlie Craig, 33, and David Mullins, 29. The couple was married in Massachusetts and wanted a wedding cake to celebrate in Colorado. The commission is expected to certify the judge's order next week. Nicolle Martin, an attorney for Masterpiece Cakeshop, did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Phillips had argued that making cakes for gay wedding ceremonies violates his Christian beliefs. Mullins and Craig wanted to buy a cake in July 2012, but when Phillips found out the cake was to celebrate a gay wedding, he turned the couple of away, according to the complaint. A similar case is pending in Washington state, where a florist is accused of refusing service for a same-sex wedding. In New Mexico, the state Supreme Court ruled in August that an Albuquerque business was wrong to decline to photograph a same-sex couple's commitment ceremony. Colorado has a constitutional ban against gay marriage but allows civil unions. The civil union law, which passed earlier this year, does not provide religious protections for businesses.

TIME magazine critic Richard Corliss placed the space epic at the top of a list that includes "American Hustle", "Her", and "12 Years a Slave". Commenting on his #1 pick of Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity, Corliss gushes: "An epic of desperate peril and profound wonder, Alfonso Cuarón’s thrilling 3-D drama is a testament to human grit and groundbreaking technical ingenuity. It deserves to be seen once for the wow factor and a second time to try to figure out how Cuarón and his digital savants managed to make the impossible seem so cinematically plausible."

today's NYT
If you ever happen to come across a Republican on television these days, chances are that you will hear the name Ronald Reagan. Recent Republican debates are the perfect example of the love fest that the current Republican party has for Reagan as each candidate name drops the former president at every turn. If you only listened to conservatives you would think that Jesus Christ was the only person above Reagan on the totem pole of conservative love. They talk about his love of low taxes, less government and conservative family values. The problem is that when you step out of the conservative dream and come back to reality, you find that not only was Ronald Reagan a bad president, but he was one of the worst presidents we've seen in modern times. Reagan's policies have destroyed the United States for three decades, and for the eight years he was in office, here are eight reasons why Ronald Reagan was the worst president of our lifetime. 1. Reagan cut taxes for the Rich, increased taxes on the Middle Class - Ronald Reagan is loved by conservatives and was loved by big business throughout his presidency and there's a reason for it. When Reagan came into office in January of 1981, the top tax rate was 70%, but when he left office in 1989 the top tax rate was down to only 28%. As Reagan gave the breaks to all his rich friends, there was a lack of revenue coming into the federal government. In order to bring money back into the government, Reagan was forced to raise taxes eleven times throughout his time in office. One example was when he signed into law the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982. Reagan raised taxes seven of the eight years he was in office and the tax increases were felt hardest by the lower and middle class. 2. Tripling the National Debt - As Reagan cut taxes for the wealthy, the government was left with less money to spend. When Reagan came into office the national debt was $900 billion, by the time he left the national debt had tripled to $2.8 trillion. 3. Iran/Contra - In 1986, a group of Americans were being held hostage by a terrorist group with ties to Iran. In an attempt to free the hostages, Ronald Reagan secretly sold arms and money to Iran. Much of the money that was received from the trade went to fund the Nicaragua Contra rebels who were in a war with the Sandinista government of Nicaragua. When the scandal broke in the Untied States it became the biggest story in the country, Reagan tried to down play what happened, but never fully recovered. 4. Reagan funded Terrorists - The attacks on 9/11 by al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden brought new attention to international terrorism. All of a sudden, Americans coast to coast wore their American flag pins, ate their freedom fries and couldn't wait to go to war with anyone who looked like a Muslim. What Americans didn't realize was that the same group that attacked the United States on 9/11 was funded by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. Prepping for a possible war with the Soviet Union, Ronald Reagan spent billions of dollars funding the Islamist mujahidin Freedom Fighters in Afghanistan. With billions of American dollars, weapons and training coming their way, the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden took everything they were given and gave it back to the United States over a decade later in the worst possible way imaginable. 5. Unemployment issues - When Ronald Reagan came into office 1981, unemployment was at 7.5%. After Reagan cut taxes for the wealthy, he began raising taxes on the middle and lower class. Corporations started to ship more jobs out of the United States while hiring cheap foreign labor in order to make a bigger profit. While corporations made billions, Americans across the country lost their jobs. As 1982 came to a close, unemployment was nearly 11%. Unemployment began to drop as the years went on, but the jobs that were created were low paying and barely helped people make ends meet. The middle and lower class had their wages nearly frozen as the top earners saw dramatic increases in salary. 6. Ignoring AIDS - By the time the 1980s came around, AIDS had become one of the most frightening things to happen to the country in recent memory. No one understood what AIDS and HIV really was and when people don't understand something, they become scared of it. The fear of the unknown was sweeping across the country and Americans needed a leader to speak out about this horrible virus, that leader never came. Instead of grabbing the bull by the horns and taking charge, Reagan kept quiet. Reagan couldn't say the words AIDS or HIV until seven years into his presidency, a leader not so much. 7. Reagan gave amnesty to 3 million Undocumented Immigrants - In today's GOP, the idea of any immigrant staying in the United States whether they are legal or illegal isn't something that conservatives embrace. What might shock them is that in 1982 Ronald Reagan gave nearly 3 million undocumented workers amnesty. The biggest reason for undocumented workers coming to the United States is because corporations hire them at a cheaper rate than they would an American citizen. All the laws that would have cracked down on companies who hire undocumented workers were, of course, removed from the bill. 8. His attack on Unions and the Middle Class - The Republican war on unions and the middle class has been heating up in states like Wisconsin and Ohio, but it has been going on for a long time. Unions are formed to give a united voice to the workers in an attempt to create fairness between the corporations and their employees. On August 3rd, 1981, PATCO (Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization) went on strike in an effort to get better pay and safer working conditions. Two days later, taking the side of business, Ronald Reagan fired 11,345 workers for not returning to work.

Calling something Cajun does not make it Cajun. Voodoo sauce is not a thing. The latest entry into the fake Nawlinz food scene is Noveau Tavern in Chicago. The menu say 'New Orleans Cuisine' yet it has bullshit dishes on the menu. NO ONE IN NEW Orleans eats maple syrup on a po boy. Chicken sausage....WTF? This is an American cuisine, the ingredients are not hard to find. Why on earth hire some Chicago chef to make a mockery of it?

There's not been enough love out there yet for the hot British actor Sam Claflin, who in "Catching Fire" plays the sexy Finnick Odair, who is forced to prostitute himself for both sexes in the Capital by President Snow after winning a previous Hunger Games. He is very sexy in the movie, which downplayed his whoring (although it is alluded to, and he does wear little but a fishnet over his waist in one big scene).

I fully support breast cancer awareness and do one of the walks with my boyfriend's sister every single year for the past 4 years. However, I never see any heavy public push for 'mens' cancers; those cancers which kill many men such as colorectal, testicular etc.. Everywhere you look, products in the stores are emblazoned with the pink ribbon, in my state there are those pink ribbon license plates and I swear it seems like every other person has one. The NFL and major league baseball go totally pink during this time of year to the point of being slightly absurd. The network news will have long packages covering the plight of those suffering from breast cancer and/or who've overcome it. Those are all really great things, but colon cancer and testicular cancers kill many men every year; perhaps less than breast cancer but not by so much as to ignore it. There are also men with breast cancer, but one would think breast cancer is a strictly female thing, even though it overwhelmingly affects women. Isn't there some way to bring the plight of mens' cancers more to the forefront? Or, how about just a pop culture push to make everyone aware of all cancer? Maybe a new logo or ribbon which would bring to mind cancers suffered by all people regardless of sex or race?
LOL!

Police estimate it was only going 40-45 mph. Although they hit a curve with a posted 15mph limit, a car with that kind of handling capacity should've easily been able to take it at 40. "The Porsche that actor Paul Walker was riding in when he died on Saturday was traveling at approximately 40 to 45 mph when it came to a bend in the road where the speed limit drops to about 15 mph, a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation told NBC News on Monday. It was in that vicinity where the driver, Roger Rodas, apparently lost control of the vehicle, ending in the fiery solo accident, the source said. Walker, 40, and Rodas, 38, were killed at the scene, police said. Their autopsies were put on hold Monday, as the Los Angeles Medical Examiner's Office waits for dental X-rays for each man to aid in making the official identifications, said Craig Harvey, chief of the coroner's operations bureau."

A six minute trailer of the new Wachowski produced film and directed by Tom Tykwer. Starring Academy Award Winners Tom Hanks, Jim Broadbent, Halle Berry & Susan Sarandon. Gorgeous music, looks beautiful and I hate trailers that give everything away, but at six minutes, I still have no idea what's it's about.
What are the major differences between those actor/actresses who work on a TV series like Breaking Bad and those who work exclusively in films such as Skyfall? Do they make the same amount of money? And from reading the DL, it seems many here hold the opinion that being a TV actor is not very good to an actor's career.

This is an offshoot of the "guys who won't bottom" thread. A trade top is someone who only gets sucked (and sometimes rimmed) and tops. In other words, he doesn't kiss, rim, suck, or bottom. For me, this is a total turn-off. I don't mind guys who don't bottom, but if they don't do ANYTHING else, it doesn't work for me. I wouldn't want a guy like that in real life, so I don't like it in porn either. When I see a video with any of these guys, I automatically avoid it (unless it's obvious that they've changed their proclivities.) Some trade tops (please add to the list and correct me if I'm mistaken): Trystan Bull Cody Cummings Zeb Atlas (although I think he's sucked a couple of times)

Paul Walker and his friend were murdered shortly after they discovered a conspiracy to supply victims of Typhon Haiyan with a prototype permanent birth control drug hidden in medicinal supplies and food aid. They had a damning recording and they were on their way to rendezvous with an ally who would have helped them get in touch with the right people. Turns out they were betrayed and someone rigged their car’s breaks to malfunction after a certain speed. Now that the loose end has been tied up, and the recording destroyed, the people responsible have nothing to fear as this will become another “conspiracy theory” no one will take seriously. “Now here is another thread with a conspiracy on a possible motive here. Apparently, Paul Walker had discovered dirty money in the Philippines disaster relief and that would make sense because he owned a company that specialized in rapid disaster relief. “ Did Walker dig to deep into corruption or was it an Illuminati Death? Then we have the massive damage to the car, the two videos below show the same car Paul Walker was killed in that had also been involved in an ultra high speed crash with fatalities and then the video of the aerial view of Walker’s car after the fatal crash.

Every year around the start of December, Fox News ramps up their “War on Christmas” coverage. It’s when they completely make up this notion that there’s some evil entity out there that’s slowly working its way through out society to kill Christmas. It’s completely absurd. For the last damn time, there is no war on Christmas. Are there people who make a big deal out of people saying, “Merry Christmas!” during the holidays? Yes, and those people suck. But that doesn’t mean there’s a war on Christmas. There’s always going to be groups of people who are “offended” by something and they’re often the ones who make the headlines. But that doesn’t mean they represent the majority — not even close. Preserving a separation of church and state during the holidays does not equate to an attack on Christmas. I’m a Christian, and I’m not ashamed to admit that I absolutely love this time of year. The colder weather, people are generally in better moods, the movies, the music, the atmosphere — I actually really enjoy all of it. Now, if someone says, “Happy holidays” to me, I don’t get offended — I just say it back. Generally if someone initiates a greeting, I just repeat whatever they say. I don’t reply with some sarcastic, “Merry Christmas!” when someone says something other than that to me. If someone says, “Happy Hanukkah,” I say that back as well. You know why? Because I’m not an immature prick. Honestly, if you want to talk about a “war on Christmas,” look no further than conservatives. It’s their warped view of Christianity, their insistence on shoving their religious views down everyone’s throats and their overall ignorance that’s driven so many people away from celebrating anything Christ-like with Christmas. This yearly event by Fox News is nothing more than a ratings ploy because it sells great to those who are too ignorant to think for themselves. They find a few obscure stories about someone who’s anti-Christmas making a big deal about something Christmas related, blast them on their airwaves relentlessly, then try to make it appear as if Christmas is being attacked everywhere. Here’s an idea: If Republicans would stop acting like such pricks in the “name of Christianity,” maybe so many people wouldn’t oppose anything that might be Christian related? Hmm, just a thought. But this fake “war” has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with money. Like I said, it’s just a tool used by Fox News to get people hostile and angry because that’s what sells. The truth is, there is no “war on Christmas.” There never was.

64, doesn't look a day over 74.
Do you prefer Barbara or Lori? Robert is just awkward and seems out of his element. Daymond is just an ass.
so it was the Village, then Chelsea, then Hell's Kitchen What were the dates? (when did the village give way to Chelsea etc.)
I always tear up. I always cry at least once.
All because of Sarah Palin

As in "bust a nut" or "I nutted all over his abs." I only learned of (or noticed) this use of "nut" about 5 years ago. It's way hot. But where does it come from? How long has it been in use? Why is "nut" used in relation to ejaculating / orgasming?

Now I don't expect people to get a new cell phone every year or every time a new model comes out, but if you still have a flip phone that is just sad. You might as well just stick with your landline.
Is it an aesthetic thing, or is it because they feel better when they''re inside you?\ \ I don''t have enough experience with bottoming to judge if it feels better to get fucked by a big dick than by a medium one, but I find medium(-to-smallish) dicks much more aesthetically pleasing.\ \ To say nothing of the fact that they''re much more comfortable to suck. But then I have a very small mouth - do all size queens have a mouth like Julia Roberts?
I've been a fan for years. I always thought he was a really handsome guy who never managed to break through to the A List. But now: Wow! The vultures have descended. He is now the most handsome, blue-eyed, undervalued actor in Hollywood. HELLOOO!? When he was alive, no one would have said this. The world is so fucked up now. There seems to be this "death cult" mindset that everyone has. That actors aren't celebrated until they've died. It's really messed up. What is wrong with the world? I never thought he was the best actor in the world. But he was really handsome, and certainly a better actor than Vic and The Rock.

Just to torment Leah Remini I bet. Is the no end to the Chenbot's quest for global domination?
Did they view it as proof-positive that the guy was a Jew? Or just strongly suspect?
Would you wear one?
The eyes. Straight men are dead behind the eyes. Gay men have a twinkle in their eyes.
. . .to the highest bidder?
with at least some gay people....I got a job in Tarzana.
And no, I don't have any pot. I feel pretty crappy, jittery and anxious. Terrible.
Remember Nancy Oleson from Little House? What was her problem? She seemed really mental.
Can you predict my future? What did I get on the last test? My marks still aren't posted yet.

The other thread is full, and we need to provide emotional support to Brandon, Cameron and Abe the only studs left whose taints are untouched by dick or dildo (at least on film). Stay strong and whatever you do don't sign up with Men.com!
Jack and Victor have their own thread, and it's about time Brooke and Taylor have one too. I have been freaking out watching Brooke's out of control descent over the past few months. The payoff is turning out to be worth it. Can't wait to watch all week as Katie lets her have it. Hope and her Sleeping Fantasy was vomit-inducing, but typical Logan women getting everything they wanted. I miss Steffy and hope she comes back soon. The Maya/Caroline/Rick triangle is ridiculous beyond belief, and this webisode plot is just another idiotic turn.
This week, The Onion takes a look at the NYPD's most controversial tactic: stop and kiss. Tensions run high between supporters and opponents in the debate over this police activity.
I'm sure there will be absolutely NO disagreements!!
Why are more and more studios doing it? Money.
It has been many years since she died, even more since she sat next to her husband as his head was shot off. I was born after that, and my parents always had mixed things to say about her. She "held the country together" but then she made the "bone headed move" [my Mom with a rosary] of marrying Onassis. Enough time has gone by. How does History remember her. How do the fine folks of Datalounge?
I love fisting a hot hole. I'm a top and it really turns me on to work open a hungry hole.
A new report from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) shows approximately 62 percent of gay men who know they have HIV/AIDS continue to engage in sexual relations without using a prophylactic, a behavior that can spread AIDS. The CDC estimates that 4% of the American population consist of MSM "men who have sex with men," and are more than 44 times more likely to be diagnosed with HIV/AIDS than heterosexual men and MSM make up 52 percent of the American population with HIV/AIDS, and account for about 63 percent of all new HIV/AIDS cases. The report concludes by noting reductions in “the burden of HIV among MSM ( men who have sex with men)is fundamental to reducing HIV infection in this country.” How in the hell can they possibly know this?? The homophobes must love this shit!
CDC Report 2/3 of gay men who know they have HIV don't use condoms.
'Wonder Woman' Returns On Me-TV Posted: 11/30/2013 2:26 pm EST | Updated: 11/30/2013 3:50 pm EST Lynda Carter's "Wonder Woman" is heading back to your small screen come Christmastime. Me-TV announced earlier this week that they'll show all 60 episodes of the 1970s series starring Lynda Carter starting Dec. 27 with the pilot. The show will join Me-TV's Saturday night line-up. "Wonder Woman" ran from 1975 to 1979 and since then, many networks have tried to recreate Carter's iconic portrayal on TV. Few have succeeded. Carter once told ET that Hollywood doesn't understand Wonder Woman's powers. "She is an Amazon Princess and she's got really strong sisterhood values. She's smart, and she just happens to be beautiful and super strong..." Now, it looks like Me-TV has the right idea by giving life to the classic show without altering a single thing. Catch the pilot of "Wonder Woman" on Me-TV on Dec. 27 at 8 pm EST.
I love when she says "expensiver."
How many nips of sherry did Julia Child have before she taped this show?
After several years of struggling after getting laid off a couple of times and trying to get back on my feet, I've been trying to do away with any kind of service that requires a contract and look for cheaper alternatives since I don't want to be stuck with a service I can't downgrade when things get hard financially. I dropped Directv when my contact was up and switched to Netflix and Hulu. Now I'm trying to figure out what to do about the cell phone. Contract is up. I'm tired of paying $80 a month for 450 minutes and unlimited data. Any suggestions as to what a good alternative would be? I'm over the whole cell phone thing as it is. Any other recommendations for companies that provide a decent service at a decent price and don't lock you into a service contract?
Who are they? Inspired by the "Beautiful people with no sex appeal" thread.
These revelations from Kitty Kelley''s book about how lazy-ass Oprah is--and how she always talks in the third person about herself with strangers--are cracking me up!
He used to be SO incredibly sexy, dapper, seemingly nice, smiling, happy.\ \ Now, he''s just this greasy, grimy mess who may be a good actor but whose personality seems to match his physical appearance. He seems to take himself way, WAY too seriously. Oh, and needs a bathe.\ \ I know he thinks he''s super cool, etc.., but how much longer can he play this shtick before everyone tires of it?
Son of Grover Dale and Anita Morris--talented actor--you can see his mother in his face.
Some seedy streets must still exist, right? Where?

This show is on season 7 - has There ever been a marriage from it or even a successful long term relationship? I mean Stanger can't even find a man.
What goes behind the scenes in the Oscar season: [quote]Courting members of the press and critics who vote in pre-Oscar contests has long been standard practice because studios know that winning Academy Awards can bring big financial rewards. A film which collects Oscar trophies, or even just nominations, can expect a healthy bump in box office revenues. Of course, an Academy Award is also sought because of the prestige it brings. But the pursuit of winning Oscars has now become so intense, at times frantic, that it has reduced all the participants who are part of this annual frenzy – from journalists like me to big name stars – to pawns in a rather strange game.
Yes or no?
Should I get one?
Anyone else getting these in your yard or garden? They're not exactly transparent, but they mirror and reconfigure the light around them to make themselves seem invisible, like the predator in that movie Predator. I have three or four of them, and I'm beginning to worry that they're planning something.
I am enjoying it thoroughly. Anyone watching? I like the actress playing the lead character and her clones, and really enjoy the gay foster brother (I've always had a thing for hot campy guys). Maria Doyle Kennedy does "woebegone and stern" very well (The Tudors; Downton), but I have a feeling she'll get a chance to show more as the foster mom/grandmother as this goes on. Is the setting supposed to be Toronto?
Well?

Is it because I've seen it too many times, or has this film aged really badly? I find a lot of it very draggy to watch now. Some of the old tunes still sound nice. I was pretty thrilled by it when it came out.

My husband was sitting in a park near Beverly Hills today (a park in Coldwater Canyon). He looked up and there was a drone flying over, about three stories up. His friend said that it was military and you see them around that area "all the time." My husband just mentioned this offhandedly, but it really freaks me out.
I'm so worried about him. I bought six copies of his book to make up for all the movie role salaries he had to turn down.
