Give your dream genderbent cast to your favourite movie (*or show!). (Obviously I mean only for the 4/5 main protagonists.) Asked by ablogwithaview
I choose Sir Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet since it is one of my favourite movie- and work by William Shakespeare. And here's the list of actors I'd cast. Gender-bent, of course.
Dramatis Personae
- Hamlet, Princess of Denmark — Natalie Dormer
- Queen Hamlet, the ghost — Dame Judi Dench
- Queen Claudia (Claudius) — Joely Richardson
- Prince Consort Geralt (Gertrude) — Paul McGann
- Ophir (Ophelia) — Max Irons
Vanity Fair: A Modern Tale.
Panta rhei. Everything flows. And when our self is all that remains, vainglory becomes the way to build memories. Scandals- created, read, and scattered on cheap papers of cheap magazines- are the fruits of spiteful ambitions. Egoism and pride are the pillars of success. Vanity is a mirror held by the devil, and society an inferno of beautiful faces.
Anne the quene (1501 ca - 19 May 1536)
Welcome to RoyalRory's blog of creations, If you have requests (history, literature, myths, dreamcasts, etc.) feel free to contact me.
- I have often seen you at court and thought how handsome you are. There is a melancholy aspect to your looks that I find intriguing. But it's probably only mental vacancy.
- I hope not.
"I could have loved a man like you." Her eyes are sad but a smile graces her beautiful face. She has flowers in her hair, a simple coiffure for a woman who will have to work from now on.
Athos woke up, startled. Her words won't go away, they haunt him in his sleep at night and crawl into his consciousness in the middle of the day. Unwanted memories. Was it not Aramis the one with a penchant for women? Now, whenever Athos is not consumed by thoughts of revenge for her, his mind only conjures images of la Comtesse de Larroque. No, not la Comtesse, Ninon. Another trait they share: to the word, la Comtesse de Larroque was dead, and le Comte de la Fére did not exist anymore. Two people running away from their past. They had both been living an idyll, a life too good to be true. And then, a bit by choice and a bit because there is no other choice for people like them, they are banished from the places that had brought them both happiness and agony. A bedroom, a library. So many ghosts that still needed to be chased away.
Athos got up from his pallet, stretched his muscles, and stared at the small mirror on the wall in front of him. The man staring back had bloodshot eyes, and a beard longer than he remembered. A single white hair on his left temple had appeared. The life of a musketeer might make you feel younger but it does not stop the clock from ticking, old man. So much time spent drinking, so much self recrimination for what might have been if only he… If only.
Would Ninon be another 'if only' in his life? If only she had not been his life at all. If only he had made himself see behind the rebellious side of Ninon, if only that had not reminded him of her. But, then, what would he have done? Followed her? Lived in sin with her? And do what? What life was there for him if not that of a musketeer?
But man does not live forever. And a life regretting does not bring peace.
Athos was not certain what had made him decide to go look for her, he only knew nothing else made sense. He wanted to see her, to see if the spark between them had not been a dream after all.
Finding her will not be easy, of course.
"I will not be silenced. But, I promise, you will not hear my voice."
And a powerful voice can always be heard, no matter how softly it whispers.
(to be continued
Comments and suggestions are welcomed. If I have made any mistake, feel free to message me and point it out, I will correct them as soon as possible. Whenever you see 'she' or 'her' in italics I am referring to Milady de Winter- Athos cannot find it in himself to speak or think her name.

"You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight and a half years ago. Dare not say that a man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant."

"Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death."
(John Keats)

"All Sicilian expression, even the most violent, is really a wish for death. Our sensuality, wish for oblivion. Our knifings and shootings, a hankering after extinction. Our laziness, our spiced and drugged sherbets, a desire for voluptuous immobility, that is… for death again."
The Leopard (Luchino Visconti, 1963)
Aphrodite & Ares - All's fair in love and war.
We have all sinned, Mr. Darcy, and we cannot look for mercy without showing it in our lives.
The heat was unbearable. Beggars crowded the streets of King's Landing, desperately following the shadows of the tallest buildings as the sun moved in the sky. Gendry was grateful for having been an apprentice smith in his youth because, while constantly on the move this past ten years, he had always managed to feed himself and even to help some poor souls. There had been a time when his dreams were filled with images of brave knights, when he believed glory was within his reach. Pain and humiliation found him instead- through the sea, straight to the lair of a red witch. The memory of his weakness, when the lust of youth became a memento of his father's blood rushing in his veins, still made him feel like gagging. He never speaks unless called to do so, never consorts with prostitutes or any other kind of woman. The only liberty allowed to him is the pleasure coming from his creations, from the hard work, from the feeling that every drop of sweat drains the shame and unworthiness of his nature from his body. Working in the smithy was a mean to survive and a ritual of atonement. No thoughts were crowding his mind when suddenly- the hammer in his right hand posed just above his head, ready to free the blow that would mould the steel on the anvil- a breeze made him stop. It was fresh and sharp, like the feeling of the wind on your skin when you are coming out of the water. Dawn had just broken and there was no reason for him to abandon his work and leave but, for a moment, the walls of the forge seemed to be closing down on him and all he could think of was this sudden need to run and reach the forest at the outskirt of the city where he would be able to breath again. Civilisation was left behind him and the Red Keep looked so small that if he closed one eye and put his hand where the rocky foundations lay on the horizon, the palace seemed to fit in his palm. A sense of uneasiness lingered but Gendry didn't have time to consider its nature because he was seized by the burliest men he had ever seen- quite the most unusual view since up until that moment he had been the burliest man he had ever seen. He was gagged, blindfolded, and bound, carried on someone's shoulder like a sack of flour. He hit the ground several minutes later and was made to stand.
'What is the meaning of this?'
A man's voice resonated, even though it was just more than a whisper. And rarely had Gendry been more grateful.
'We don't abduct civilians.'
He was freed, the ropes cut from his wrists, his feet, and his face, yet he had the impression that it would not be any easier to escape now. The man in front of him was slim and though he looked younger than Gendry, his eyes suggested he was much wiser than his age. He was standing with the aid of a cane and from the tension of the muscles in his arm, Gendry could see it was with considerable effort. Then, the tallest among the men that had abducted him spoke.
'We do when they look like him. The Lannister's will soon seize every capable-looking man to join their army. We don't need those like him on the other side. We kill them now and we won't have to worry later.'
These words were received with silence. Even the men who seemed to agree with this sentiment stopped nodding their approval when they caught the other man's gaze. Gendry's would-be-killer shifted his weight from one leg to the other.
'Very well, Bran, if you won't have him killed what do you suggest we do now that he has seen us, uh? Should we simply let him go? Like that, we let him go straight inside the city. Why don't we just go with him ourselves? It would be much easier to die, in that way-'
'I won't tell anything if you-'
Gendry didn't get to finish the sentence because two soldiers seized both his arms and made him bend over while the one who wanted him dead gripped his hair and pulled. He got closer and when his face was a breath away from his he said:
'You don't have the privilege of participating in this discussion. Whether you'll live or die-'
'That's enough, Rickon.' Bran took a step forward.
'Or, what? You would slit my throat, brother?'
No one was moving. Gendry wouldn't move even if he had the chance. The man called Rickon has released his death-like grip on Gendry's hair and had stepped closer to his brother.
'He wouldn't. But I would.'
Gendry raised his head so quickly that all the muscles in his neck screamed in pained. But he knew that voice. He had heard it before. Decades ago, it had been higher, almost childlike- even if no one would have ever considered it such or said so at the time. And, definitely, not in front of her.
But the woman Arya Stark of Winterfell had become, he did not know. He had known the little girl who had lost everything, who had survived atrocious experiences, and that, occasionally, had had a kind smile and a tart reply for a Southern bastard boy.
'You don't mean to free him, do you? That would be insane, even for you, sister.'
'Oh, we won't free him.'
Gendry's throat was not working, he wanted to scream, he wanted to tell her that he was her friend, that he was Gendry, her Gendry. He had thought about her so much. He had longed for her, for their friendship, because he thought that somehow she would have understood him. She would have approved of his cunning plan: hiding right under the Lannister's noses. Her eyes would have gleamed with mischief when he would have told her he was now known to all as Jon Waters, that he took her favourite brother's name to be undetected.
'He'll be our prisoner. You have never been to King's Landing- neither of you- and I don't remember it all that well. We'll use him.'
She gripped his arm then and commanded him to move. He would wear bruises from her grip more than from the other men's grip.
When Arya realised she was being followed by her brother Rickon's soldiers, she stopped and sent them a glare even more deadly than that of Bran. They reprised their walk and moved towards the tents.
The moment they left the crowd of soldiers behind, Gendry finally managed to talk.
'I am Gendry. Waters. Arya, I am Gendry, we knew each other, we-'
'For all the Gods, shut your mouth.'
He was silenced once more and a cold shiver run down his spine. He couldn't feel the summer heat anymore.
'You were always stupid. Always the stupid one. You. Not me.'
He stopped and stared at her. She stared him back.
'So, you see, I remember well enough.'
He smiled at her. He couldn't help it.
'Take that smile off your stupid face and keep walking.'
She didn't smile back but he would have sworn that her grey eyes looked a bit less haunted and bit more forgiving.

If you work at NC State and haven't yet had a chance to fully explore the inspiring spaces and new technologies at the Hunt Library on Centennial Campus, you'll soon get your chance. NCSU Libraries invites faculty and staff to an open house at the new library from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, March 7. Enjoy light refreshments and take a tour of the remarkable facility.
Here are just a few of the jaw-dropping features you'll find in the new library:
- The bookBot is a wonder to behold (and can be viewed through a giant glass window in "Robot Alley" on the library's first floor). When a patron requests a book on the library's website, the bookBot goes into action. One of its arms rushes between the 50-foot-tall stacks of metallic bins, locates the correct one, and automatically pulls it from the shelf. It lifts the bin up to a loading dock on second floor, where a library staff member is waiting. The staff member pulls the book from the bin and places it in a cart for delivery to the library customer, usually within five minutes. Once a customer returns a book, it's placed in any available bin and returned to the stacks. Each book's location is recorded and tracked through the use of barcodes.
- The library sports five Christie MicroTiles displays. At 21 feet wide, these video walls dwarf every other monitor on campus, and even surpass the size of the MicroTiles display at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte. With resolution four times as great as a standard HD monitor and a color gamut far exceeding broadcast television specs, the displays are amazingly crisp and bright. For student game designers, these displays provide the ultimate in hands-on education.
- The library has more than 100 group study rooms–their walls composed of whiteboard material–to meet the nearly insatiable demand for collaborative space on campus. The rooms feature flat-panel displays, thin-client computer connections, Web-based video conferencing and touchpad controllers.
- Looking for the latest digital tools to create your next masterpiece? Visit the Apple Technology Showcase. Surrounded by glass walls, this is the place to see and try out the constantly changing array of devices and technologies available for loan.
For a complete rundown of the spaces and features in the Hunt Library, visit the website.
During the open house, you'll have the opportunity to watch the 3-D printers turn ideas into real objects, view large-scale visualizations that are changing how researchers display data, try out some of the 75 different chairs in 115 colors and check out the best view of Lake Raleigh on campus. It all starts on the first floor level by the bookBot.

PremierTox offers a comprehensive menu of urine drug screening solutions–all of which are provided at no cost to the physician or practice. Our services include the following.
- In-office point of care (POC) qualitative urine drug testing designed to meet each office's protocol. Immediate results with a CLIA-waived device for improved clinical decision-making by the treating physician.
- Immunoassay (qualitative) tests are a standard 12-panel assay with the ability to perform as many as 15 panels, customized to accommodate each office's protocol.
- Confirmation testing using quantitative analysis through LC/MS/MS combined with ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) to achieve quantitative results within 24 to 48 hours of sample receipt. LC/MS/MS:
- Uses ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) for separation of individual components of a complex mixture'an emerging analytical technique coupled to mass spectrometry to generate a "chemical fingerprint" that is unique for each drug. This enables positive identification and quantification of substances at very low levels and virtually eliminates any false negative results.
- Draws upon basic chromatography principles to run chemical separations at higher flow rates for increased speed while simultaneously achieving superior resolution and sensitivity.
- The high-speed separation of components allows for a nine-fold increase in sample throughput, without compromising the quality of results. This translates into testing more samples in a shorter period of time and significantly reducing turnaround time of results.
- Results will be posted on PremierTox Lab's secure web portal within 24 to 48 hours of sample receipt. (They will also be available via email or fax upon request.)

"This is something that happens every day in every courthouse in Vermont," Chittenden County Prosecutor T.J. Donovan said.
Donovan is talking about the discrepancy between prison sentences imposed by the court and how much time a defendant actually serves. Jim Deeghan is a high-profile example.
"I was a little surprised that he got released early," Vt. State Police Col. Tom L'Esperance said.
The commander of Vermont's green and gold says the former sergeant's crimes are a betrayal of the badge. The 22-year veteran left the state police in disgrace after stealing more than $200,000 in overtime pay he didn't earn, covering his tracks with a trail of fake tickets and bogus police calls.
"Somebody who engaged in public fraud, public corruption, like Mr. Deeghan did deserve to go to jail," Donovan said. "The hard part of this job is how much punishment is enough?"
Donovan cut a plea deal for 24 months behind bars and Deeghan was shipped to an Indiana jail. So, why was he released after serving only nine months?
"It's a system that is incredibly confusing to the general public. Frankly, it's a system confusing to the people that work in it," Donovan said.
"In this particular case, the department is just following statute and law that has been set out as we would with any other offender," said Dale Crook of the Vermont Department of Corrections.
Corrections says Deeghan is a nonviolent, low-risk offender without a previous criminal record. Under Vermont law, that makes him eligible for a variety of get-out-early-type programs.
"For those cases that we view that we can effectively manage in the community, that's where they should be supervised," Crook said.
Work crew gives inmates day-for-day credit. There are currently 1,025 Vermont offenders that get a day chopped off their sentences for every day they work for the prison.
In Deeghan's case, he served nine months in jail, was given nine months credit for his work camp duties and reintegration furlough subtracted another six months.
So, knowing this, should prosecutors have asked for more jail time at the outset?
"You know, I don't think so," Donovan said. "I don't think we want to arbitrarily try to increase sentences on the assumption that five years will get you two years. I don't think that's good policy."
Deeghan still has to pay back all of the money he stole. The commander of the state police says he hopes the former sergeant can move on and be a productive member of society.
"It's a lesson learned for all of us and there's no grudges," L'Esperance said. "We just won't forget. You can't forget because we have to continue to build from this."
Deeghan cannot work as a police officer; he was decertified this summer. He'll be supervised by a probation officer while on furlough.
State police say they're slowly regaining the public's trust and have created safeguards to prevent timecard fraud in the future.

The Community Transport Service Type Review will examine community transport services funded under the Home and Community Care (HACC) Program, the Community Transport Program and the Area Assistance Scheme. The primary aim of the Review is the development of Community Transport Service Type Guidelines including good practice principles.
NCOSS Report: NCOSS attended the National HACC Forum alongside three hundred invited delegates in Melbourne on 21 and 22 February 2008. This download is a summary of the highlights of the Forum.
Policy Position, April 2007
Supplementary Questions to the Inquiry.
NCOSS Submission: The NSW Parliament conducted an Inquiry into HACC and Home Care during 2006. NCOSS has prepared an initial submission to respond to the terms of reference in July. At the Inquiry hearings in September, NCOSS was given a number of questions on notice. In October, a supplementary submission was prepared to respond to these additional items. The submissions comment on Commonwealth/State relations, the adequacy of the HACC program and the method and timing of planning and funds distribution. There are also comments on the adequacy and coverage of the NSW Home Care Service.
NCOSS response: Following a 2005 review of the Home Modifications and Maintenance service type under the Home Community Care program, DADHC has contracted KPMG to prepare a discussion paper on new models for service provision. NCOSS has responded to the Paper with general and specific comments and has identified a preferred model. DADHC discussion paper: plan.arch.usyd.edu.au (http://plan.arch.usyd.edu.au/hmm/hmm_web/default.cfm)
NCOSS submission: As part of its annual HACC planning process, DADHC invited interested stakeholders to provide written submissions on Statewide issues of concern for frail older people, people with disabilities and their carers to inform strategic directions for the 2006-07 NSW HACC Program. In preparation for this submission, NCOSS met with a range of peak and Statewide bodies to consult on important issues for consumers and the sector. This submission lists these and other issues and includes a list of ideas and initiatives for non-recurrent allocations which could benefit the provision of HACC in NSW.
Under its broad reform agenda for community care programs, the Commonwealth Department of Health Ageing is currently investigating ways to improve assessment and the management of eligibility for community care recipients. NCOSS has developed policy responses to the consultation papers but remains concerned that HACC service providers have not been directly included in the consultation processes.
The first in a series of policy papers, published in May 2002. It contains guiding principles and recommendations for government and service providers under a range of topics including: 1. Autonomy and self-determination; 2. Aboriginal representation within the system; 3. needs and assessment; 4. service development co-ordination and training. The Gathering Committee believes that these contributed some positive outcomes in some areas. The Committee is currently developing the next paper in the series which, while updating the previous, will also include topics such as planning, management and transport.

The easiest way to wear leggings is under dresses, skirts or long tops. While some leggings should not be worn as pants, those with looser cuts or sturdier fabrics may pass the test. No matter the style, when it comes to monkeying around on the playground, leggings are more modest than tights.
An everyday staple, leggings come in a variety of styles and fits. From flashy to casual, here are ten looks to love.
1. Funky
Polka Dot WhatPolka Dot What puts the design in your hands. Their cotton/spandex Ankle and Capri Leggings are customizable to express personality and style, or perhaps to conjure desired traits. Shapes indicate various positive attributes, like confidence and creativity.
Home designers choose different prints for each leg, and can share the meaning with the world or keep it as an inner reminder and let the funky mix of bold prints speak for themselves. Inks are water based, and all clothing is made in the USA.
2. Sturdy
ZuperZuper leggings are made in the USA for active girls. Long Leggings feature UV fabric, rip-resistance and removable knee pads. The leggings are also moisture wicking, so girls can wear them in the water or as a snow-day underlayer. The secret treasure pocket is a fun and handy extra.
3. Roomy
Hanna AndersonHanna Anderson pure cotton leggings are soft, generously proportioned, and certified by OEKO-TEX standard 100 to be skin-friendly. Loose Leggings are even more roomy than Livable Leggings. Both pants are pajama comfortable, but sturdy and thick for daytime wear.
4. Jegging
Mini BodenMini Boden's Denim Leggings are like skinny jeans with a softer touch and no button waist, so they're comfortable and cute. The fit is slim, so thin girls won't have to deal with awkward sagging.

I've wanted to write a review of Images & Words for the longest time, but have always been too intimidated by the prospect. I mean, how do you critique an album that totally changed the way you listen to music?
I was just entering college when this album was released, and was at the point where I was trading in my Slaughter and Firehouse CDs for Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains. Metal as I knew it seemed so trite and meaningless in the face of all that angst and flannel. Then one day I was hanging out with MTV on in the background when the video for Pull Me Under came on. I dropped whatever I was doing and was glued to the TV. It was obviously a metal song, but it was totally unlike anything I'd ever heard before. It took less than a minute of sampling Images & Words at the local CD store to convince me to buy it. This album just blew me away. I know Fates Warning and Queensryche had already started the progressive metal movement, but Dream Theater was the first band I had heard playing that kind of music. To me it was like the offspring of Rush and Metallica. The complex song structures, emotional lyrics, obvious technical prowess, and overall intensity of the album just hit me in totally new ways. I'd be 3 or 4 minutes into a song like Learning to Live or Take the Time when the style would shift and just yank me with it like it had a hold on my heart. It's so hard to describe the way that album affected me. It's not a perfect album, (I actually hate the song Another Day) but it is my favorite album and after hundreds of listens I'm still not tired of it. Their later works would never quite stand up to Images & Words (though Train of Thought came pretty close), but Dream Theater would still remain my all-time favorite band.
Music fads have come and gone since then, but to me nothing would ever sound like Dream Theater. Of course I later found out that there were several bands, and indeed entire record labels (Magna Carta, I'm talking to you!) that made every attempt to sound exactly like Dream Theater, but they would just never measure up. Dream Theater set the standard for every other progressive metal band to try and live up to.
The album is 14 years old now, so there are no doubt lots of people discovering it for the first time after hearing some of the newer bands like Symphony X, Vanden Plas, or Evergrey. It may not have the same impact as it did then, but it stands the test of time quite well.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
Deputies in Lincoln County have charged a Vale man for using his vehicle to drag a donkey nearly a half-mile down a paved road in northwestern Lincoln County.
According to a Lincoln County Sheriff's release, deputies were dispatched to the area of the Ward Road/Plateau Road intersection around 6:30 p.m. Thursday when neighbors noticed a man driving a van and pulling a donkey behind the vehicle.
The donkey was tethered by a rope to the trailer hitch on the vehicle, deputies told WBTV.
When Sgt. Terry Posey arrived on the scene 68-year-old Richard Ricky Hudson, of Vale, was walking and leading the animal northbound on Plateau Road.
Deputies say a witness cared for the animal while Hudson was placed in custody.
Sgt. Posey checked the donkey for injuries and discovered the legs and rear portion of the animal had scrapes and bleeding. Scrape marks on the roadway indicated the animal could have been dragged more than 3/10th of a mile on the paved roadway.
Animal Services was contacted and placed the animal in a shelter. Hudson was charged with misdemeanor Conveying Animals in a Cruel Manner and released on a $4,000 secured bond.

What's not to love about these adorable kids? When I first arrived in the village they would sing the "Yovo" song to me
Yovo yovo bon soir (white person white person good evening)
Ca va bien
Once we got to know each other, they would sing my name "Naka" and give me "high fives." That sure beats the Yovo song

Take, for example, the opening of the city's GLBT History Museum last year. The GLBT Historical Society did a customary public-relations campaign and received coverage of the opening in 38 languages across 75 countries.
"From Angola to Vietnam, everyone had to do a story," said GLBT Historical Society founding member and curator Gerard Koskovich. "San Francisco remains astoundingly marked as the world mothership for homosexuality."
For any city with a far-reaching impact on any front, a particularly unique and dynamic history is always part of the story. San Francisco is no different. As far back as the Gold Rush era (1848-1855), homosexuality possibly existed as the city became a boomtown that was heavily populated by men who wanted to try their luck out West.
"You had a self-selected population where there was bound to be some men who didn't fit in back home," Koskovich said, "because they were queer and this all-male setting might be interesting to go looking for opportunities."
The transition to San Francisco as a major port city through the end of the 19th century solidified it as a place that was flexible and tolerant, which allowed for same-sex desire to be displayed in certain spaces and in nuanced ways. Cruising spots popped up in the lower Market Street area, which was connected to a very vibrant port and produce market that is today the Embarcadero.
Don Romes-burg, an associate professor of women and gender studies at Sonoma State University, described the waterfront as a place where the potential for same-sex intimacy was presented.
"Men were picking up men for sex," Romesburg said. "You have what we might call faeries or either cross-dressing men or transgender women who were selling sex and having unpaid sex with men. You also have the red-light district, places where there were women together and the potential connection between them."
In the 1920s, venues emerged that were amenable to gay and lesbian people. Although the locales did not specifically cater to LGBT people, they also did not turn them away. Because alcohol was illegal until 1933 with the end of Prohibition, bars were no more illegal if they had queer people in them. The risks of running or entering a bar outweighed publicly presenting a queer identity.
After 1933, small bars and clubs sprung up in the North Beach area, especially around the Montgomery Building (torn down in 1959), which was called the "Monkey Block." Progressive artists, bohemians and queers lived in the area and became clientele to these venues, some of which were advertised as gay-specific. As alcohol became condoned but homosexuality remained illegal, the ways homosexuality was expressed in those spaces began to change.
Nan Alamilla Boyd, author of "Wide Open Town: A History of Queer San Francisco to 1965," and professor in the Women and Gender Studies Department at San Francisco State University, said that queer bars began to become tourist destinations.
"They were a home space for gays and
lesbians but a destination for tourists who wanted to mingle with the queers and see performances," she said. "It was an early home space for the community in the 1940s."
The end of World War II saw a lot of gay men settle in San Francisco.
As the bar scene exploded, gay and lesbian entrepreneurs began to invest in other establishments and institutions. With the dawn of the 1950s, a community agenda emerged.
"Something happened between 1933 and the early 1960s where people didn't feel like they had to hide and they wanted a community they could feel safe in," Boyd said. "The politicization of bars began to happen. The police were trying to shut the bars down so the community had to resist and fight for territory. In that act, there was this articulation of certain political ideals of the right to occupy public space."
By the 1960s, gay businesses were flourishing on Polk Street and the Tenderloin was a well-established "vice" district that was home to transgender individuals and queer youth. The Compton Cafeteria riot in 1966 marked the beginning of queer liberation. The early 1970s saw an influx of predominantly white, middle-class gay men relocating to the Castro District, which resulted in a gay enclave that was influential in electing Harvey Milk as the city's first openly gay official in 1977 — just four years after homosexuality was lifted from the American Psychiatric Association's list of mental illnesses.
"Milk inspired a wave of action that galvanized queer people together," Romesburg said. "After that comes his assassination and then comes HIV/AIDS."
The AIDS virus was identified in 1981 and by the mid-1990s, when antiretroviral treatments became available, the LGBT community was utterly transformed. Many bars closed and focus was redirected toward caring for the ill.
"We're only now starting to grapple with the early 1980s as a period of history," Romesburg said. "San Francisco is a model for how the community responded to the epidemic. In the face of the federal government's unwillingness to do for us, we did for ourselves."
Today, San Francisco still exists as a model for other cities, communities, causes and culture. Its dynamic and resilient past will continue to guide its future.

Most of the time video clips on the internet opens in a small Media Player within the web page and there is no link where one can Right Click and Save Target As...
Does anyone know, in these cases, how to "download" this movie clip to your hard drive ?
When I right click on the little Media Player after the movie played through, the "Save As" option is greyed out.
I've tried to see whether the movie is downloaded to some Temporary Internet folder, but cannot find anything.
go there, download the program and you can save your file with this utility. It allows you to record virtually any file viewable (movies, trailers, video files basically). It also allows you to to take screenshots from the video.
Scroll to the bottom and there's an application that should work.
You can also try seaching for "Streaming video recorders" or a similar phrase.
None of this works as i need a video clip of WW1 and i need to save it on my desktop then put it on my powerpoint
one way of doing this is by downloading real 11 beta.
it can download any internet video clip.
You need to convert the video clip to avi,mpeg and then u can save on your desktop. Free Online sites can do this for you such as http://keepvid.com/
Ok, here we go.
Download the internet browser opera (google it) then play the video all the way through. then navigate to c:\Documents and Settings\[your windows user name]\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\cache4\ In there you will find a whole bunch if files. Sort them by size and the odds are that the biggest will be the video you want. Copy it to your desktop or wherever you want to put it and that's it.
It should be noted that application data is a hidden folder. You'll either have to make invisible files & folders visible in folder options or you can open application data folder directly by opening Start>Run and typing %appdata% in there.
I use a program called "vdownloader" Im sure if you google it you will easily find it 2 download. Its free and really easy to use!! :)
dont bother with all the answers only 1 is important and thats the fraps.com/ i use it all the time andit works
this tells you how to do it. the firefox extension works on everything and actually downloads the video file instead of recording your screen. I dunno how fraps is, but it doesn't work for mac
avg and microsoft tell me there's a trojan in the vdownloader package. try at your own risk.
I'm using Save Video plugin for Internet Explorer. It's really easy to use for me... (www.howtosavevideo.com)
search freecorder 4 in google... then download its tool bar then u can save any internet video clips in to ur hard drive
I was able to copy some old family video's off a distant relative's facebook that was set by the poster as "not to share" with the Save Video Plugin free trail. Worked great and saved video in same HQ as the original. Amazing program with no hassles. www.savevideoplugin.com

As some had indicated...Perry Hill wants to continue coaching...just not with the Pirates. Certainly with the statements we have now seen from Hill and management...mainly Huntington...it appears that any family concerns are not the main problem.
I see two possibilities...
1) There is a problem between management (read Huntington and Coonelly) and underlings. Buckley (minor league pitching coordinator) left...under somewhat uncertain circumstances. Now it appears that Hill and the management team were not on the same page. Whether it be promises that were made before he signed...or something he knows he was going to be expected to do next year...there is obviously enough hard feelings for Perry not to return.
2) It's about the money. This one I find hard to swallow. Coaches aren't millionaires...at least most of them. I've seen Dave Duncan anywhere between $800 K and $1M. Rudy Jaramillo signed with the Cubs today for 3 years/$2.4M. So...if it was about money...can't imagine it would be more than a couple of hundred grand. Russell is at $800K as manager. If that small amount of money is a problem...the Pirates are in deep trouble.
My guess...possibility #1 is real close to the truth...and we may never find out exactly where the problem is...but there is one.

The statistic comes from a 2011 USDA report, which provides estimates for the amount of food that is thrown away, on everything from meats to eggs to nuts, during preparation or consumption.
Interestingly, the report notes that the estimate of food loss for turkey is more than double that of chicken, which stands at 15 percent.
The USDA says this is "possibly because turkey is more often eaten during holidays when consumers may tend to discard relatively more uneaten food than on other days."
We think the answer is even more simple than that: Turkeys are bigger than chickens, meaning they're harder to finish, meaning more turkey ends up in the trash.

How Dusty Springfield Made Adele Possible
NEW YORK (MainStreet) -- Somewhere in an early '90s college student's CD collection is the song that gilded Adele's six Grammys and pushed Lana Del Rey onto the Saturday Night Live stage about eight months too soon.
|Long before Adele triumphed at the Grammys and even long before Sarah McLachlan and Fiona Apple charted their own successes, there was Dusty Springfield and the original blue-eyed soul.
Long before Adele's album 18 sold nearly 7 million copies, 21 started its push into Diamond record territory and Rolling In The Deep was imbedded in the American subconscious, another voice from across the water wormed its way pleasantly into U.S. playlists. Quentin Tarantino didn't want a score for Pulp Fiction. Instead he turned the breakout 1994 film into a mix tape of inherent cool that synced its track list seamlessly with prescient plot points. When John Travolta's vintage cool hitman Vincent Vega first sauntered into the living room of Uma Thurman's Mia Wallace -- the boss' wife -- it took one song to ignite their slow burn.
Dusty Springfield's Son of a Preacher Man had been languishing on oldies radio playlists somewhere between The Hollies' Bus Stop and Petula Clark's I Know A Place. The weight of Springfield's shift from the pop act behind I Only Want To Be With You and Wishin' And Hopin' to the deep soul sound of her 1969 release Dusty In Memphis was a faded footnote in a Timi Yuro or Carly Simon biography. If Adele's Rolling In The Deep marked the bitter end of a "rubbish relationship," Springfield's backyard walks with young Billy was its giddy, sexy, optimistic beginning. Once the mono-tracked version of Son Of A Preacher Man appeared in Pulp Fiction, it pushed that film's soundtrack into the Billboard 200, saved one of Tarantino's trademark scenes and introduced a generation of dorm room and house party regulars to female blue-eyed soul. It's not that the concept was completely dead, but aside from the occasional Lisa Stansfield or Teena Marie single, the blue-eyed soul of the '70s and '80s was a boys club -- almost exclusively the domain of Michael McDonald, Hall & Oates, Robert Palmer, Phil Collins, Bobby Caldwell and scads of other dental office favorites. When Son of a Preacher Man caught its second wind, however, the ground had already been prepared by ethereal tracks such as Julee Cruise's Twin Peaks theme Falling, Mazzy Star's Fade Into You and just about every track from Sarah McLachlan's Fumbling Toward Ecstasy album.

Due to the request of members of this site I will do a weekly prospect breakdown. You can expect a new one every Monday unless something comes up.
In case you missed it last week I did "the Polish Fedor" Marcin Tybura ( http://www.mmamania.com/2014/6/23/5834538/dirtybird2s-weekly-prospect-breakdown) I figured I'd take a step away from the HW division and focus on a lighter weight class. This week's breakdown will focus on British WW Walter Gahadza
Walter Gahadza (14-0 Pro 1-0 Ammy) 6'0" 170lbs is one of the top prospects in the WW division right now. He has a fight coming up this august against other top English prospect (8-0) Ryan Scope which will pretty much name the top WW prospect in the world and in England for that matter.
Walter Gahadza is fine where ever the fight goes. A very well rounded fighter. 6 (t)ko's 5 submissions, 3 decisions. He's a finisher much like Ryan scope (3ko's 4subs 1 decision). Much like Scott Askham vs max Nunes this is a fight many people will look forward to in the Uk fight scene and for world prospect rankings.
The bout will take place August 23, 2014 at M4TC 15. Here are some Walter hiightlights
once again thanks for reading, comment below.

We've visited G&G over a dozen times since they opened in late 2010. Reviewed as a compilation, based on last night (09/26/11) and many others...
Having lived in the neighborhood for years, I recall this corner as a seedy Mexican 'tienda' (re: mini-mart) and not much else. The addition of Tiga and Podnah's (since departed, replaced by equally terrific Pok Pok Noi) paved the way for a neighborhood-centric place like this. Opened last December, Grain & Gristle solidified this burgeoning corner into a true foodie destination. Love what they've done with it; warm floors, rustic colors and gnarled vines abound. Thick beams and faux rafters make a space cozy without over-trying. The U-shaped bar is our favorite, snuggling into the burled undulations of an Old World plank of wood epitomizes 'comfort'.
Grain & Gristle is co-owned by Ben Meyer (formerly of renowned Portland eateries like Ned Ludd and Toro Bravo) and Alex Ganum (of now-established brewery Upright); the duo continually crafts a wonderful menu that pairs some terrific food with the the better beers of the region. Last night the 'two-fer' (a dinner for two, typically featuring a mound of proteins with seasonal greens and a side PLUS two 12 oz. beers for a paltry $20) showcased a smoked chicken half, cheesy potato terrine and steamed chard... but it varies night to night. Mussels and frites are heaping and reasonably priced; plenty of savory sides tempt us every visit; usually it's the crisp, thin-cut and lightly-battered onion rings that win. Cheeses and charcuterie trays are available, too. The kitchen rotates things in and out regularly/seasonally... so every palate should expect freshness and quality.
Beer choices are abbreviated, but sublime. There are *only* 8 taps but they are always well chosen and run the gamut from malts to hops. Last night featured 4 different Upright beers, from light choices such as the Saison Dupont-like Todo Modo and the refreshing Engelberg Pils to the smoky Gunslinger Helles and steadfastly dark/awesome Count of Monte Fisto. Other beers were Laurelwood's seasonal fresh-hopped 'Laurelfest' lager, Columbia River's strong Hop Heaven DIPA, Everybody's Brewing's Batch 200 (a delicious weizenbock) and Burnside's IPA. Beyond the draft list, there are several more offerings in bottles from Upright (including vintages of Billy the Mountain) and The Bruery.
We usually park at the bar and have generally loved the service. John is often our bartender, although last night Meghan did a wonderful job of keeping us company and making sure our glasses were full and empty plates whisked away. During the summer, there is now outdoor seating on a patio 'stolen' from formerly under-utilized parking stalls. But our preference is fall/winter, when the welcoming dining room glows with conviviality. It's rare for us to visit and NOT either meet someone we know or strike up a conversation with a stranger... G&G is that kind of place. Highly recommended.

We were in town for OBF. My wife and I visted for lunch on a Friday.
Neat little spot, with healthy, tastey food. The prices were great. I had an Upright 4, belgium wheat beer and for lunch a chicken salad sandwich. They specialized in mostly Upright beers, but also had Amenesia, Avery and some other good choices on tap. You could add a salad or fries for only a $1!! The food and beer slection were good and this place had a nice laid back vibe.
We were glad we stopped here for a brew and food. The beer prices were great as well, had a 12oz. beer for $2.

I checked out grain & gristle for the first time in December to celebrate my birthday, and I'm glad that I did.
The atmosphere here is great. They did a wonderful job designing the space, and it manages to be very unique in a city overflowing with other options. It's well thought out and attractive, yet very welcoming and comfortable. Modern, yet rustic. This place was only a few days old when I went, but it already felt like it had some history and soul.
The quality here is very good across all categories. Well curated taplist, wines, specialty cocktails, food, atmosphere...
On the night we went, the whole place was packed, and we felt like our server was a little over-burdened. She did a fantastic job keeping up the best she could, but at times we felt she was spread a bit too thin, and it took a while to get drinks etc... Like I said, they were only open a few days at this point, and given the circumstances, I think she did a fine job. Things are probably going a bit smoother now. As a side note, one of the owners, who was in the kitchen cooking during our visit, took a second to come out to our table personally to make sure we were enjoying everything, you can tell they have a lot of pride in this venture.
The selection here is really good. The tap-list is on the small side, but it's very well curated, including some options that weren't available anywhere else in the city at the time. I tried upright's "special herbs" - a gin barrel aged sour gruit, which was fantastic. The quality-over-quantity approach works really well here.
The menu is varied, and has a good mix of standard pub options and more unique higher end options. Everyone at my table really enjoyed their meals. I had the mussels frites, which was delicious and very attractively priced compared to other places in town. This is definitely a great place to go when you want something better than ordinary uninspired pub-grub with your beer.
While I enjoyed almost everything about Grain & Gristle on my visit, one category that really stood out for me was the value, especially on the food items. You get really good food for your money at G&G. As an example, I'm used to paying $14 or more for mussels frites, and at G&G, my plate cost just $9. Other places in town will charge you that for a bratwurst with no side..

Stopped by here this evening in order to sample a couple of new releases from Upright Brewing.
My first time here, and have to say my initial impression was pretty positive. This place has a great neighborhood vibe, with an interesting and eclective menu to match. This place is completely low key and informal, with an attractive, good size, wrap around wood bar taking center stage when you walk in. Otherwise, there are a fair number of tables and chairs, which on this particular evening (a Wednesday in December) were practically all full. In terms of beer, there were 8 beers on tap, and it included the likes of gubna, work horse IPA, a coalition maple porter, and the two new releases from Upright (fatali and Billy the Mountain). There were also a number of interesting bottle selections, and it was readily apparent that the focus here is on high quality, fairly esoteric, beer choices. Service was good, with our bartender friendly and quick with our beer orders. Didn't have a chance to try the food, but what I saw looked good and prices here were flat out terrific.
While I wouldn't call this place a BA destination, the vibe is so relaxing and good natured, and the menu so interesting looking, this is definitely a place I'll stop by again some time (next time for dinner, for sure). What I wouldn't give to have a place like this in my neighborhood in Baltimore. I'll definitely be back....
From 10/2/11. Returned the other day for an evening snack, and to see if the G&G might have some interesting Upright options on tap. No luck there (so I got a bottle of the Flora Rustica), but I did get some food. The ceasar salad I got was quite good (much better than the higher priced ceasar I got at Concordia on Thursday), and the freedom fries competently prepared. Need to go for something a bit more ambitious next time, as they really seem to take their food pretty seriously here.

I was over at the Titans SB Nation blog today and came across a game that they are doing over there. I thought that it would be fun for us to try it seeing as things have gotten a little stale during the off season already because of the CBA. And nonstop talk about the draft. This will hopefully give everyone something to do for a little while or at the very least bring a little humor. More after the JumpTo provide you all with one more small thing that can bring you here on a daily basis, I thought we could adapt something I've seen that's much more common on other types of internet boards (television, video games, ect). They're commonly referred to as "Hurt/Heal" threads.
The premise is simple. You take a list of some kind, in this case, NFL Teams, assign them an arbitrary amount of points, and then every user can make a post once every 24 hours stating what team they would like to "Hurt" and what team they would like to "Heal". As an example...
Jacksonville Jaguars - 10
Houston Texans - 7
////////////////////Redwolf333 posts: Save Houston, Kill Jacksonville/////////////////////
Houston Texans - 8
Easy enough. Each Save and Kill is worth a point respectively. You want to Kill teams you dislike, and save teams you like. You have two total actions every 24 hours, so you don't have to necessarily Save one team and Hurt another. You can use both your actions to give points to a team (Double Save), or use them both to take points away (Double Kill). Once a team reaches 0, they have exploded into internet space forever. Ideally at the end of this, we'll have a ranking of all 32 teams from most to least favorite, based on which team survives the longest. Obviously the Redskins won't be included in this. I will be posting who got the killing blow on a team and that person will be rewarded another point per day. It's simple, it takes about 5 seconds to do, and it'll be amusing to watch the teams whittle down. Pointless endeavors are pointless, but that doesn't make them any less amusing!
If this turns out to be really unpopular then I'll just delete this post. Otherwise, I'll edit this, and we can get started!
I'm going to start each team off with 32 points since there are 32 teams and update this post daily.
P.S. please rec if you like it so it can stay up.
P.P.S. we are looking for reps to put these up on other SB Nation Blogs so that we can eventually compare all 32 teams and find out which are the most liked or disliked according to the fans.
UPDATE: In order to help move the game along since we have lost some people I am deducting 10 points from all the teams.

text: Strange game. MD dominant in the first half, up 7-2 at the break. Hopkins dominant in the second. There was a bad non-call of an obvious tripping penalty against Hopkins that would have put MD a man up in the last minute of regulation. Of course MD's man up offense hasn't been all that spectacular this year anyway. They like to score in transition. What is it about half court offense that MD seems to have trouble with in multiple sports?

More than 150 international orphans arrived at the Atlanta International Airport on Sunday. The orphans from Latvia and Ukraine are part of Project 143, a non-profit organization that helps 143-million orphans worldwide experience living with a family in the United States. Ilja, a 14-year old boy from Latvia, is part of the organization, and thanks to Cindy and Chuck Lick, Ilja will be spending his next five weeks in Hattiesburg. "We've been empty nesters for a while and so with Ilja coming in here, it's just been really good," said Chuck. By living with the Lick family, Ilja will not only develop the ability to speak the English language fluently, but he will also experience things he's never done or seen before. "We've been swimming and playing in the yard," said Cindy. During his time in the U.S., Cindy and Chuck just hope to make a difference in Ilja's life. "I just hope that he see's Jesus in us these next five weeks," said Cindy. "He may not have an earthly father, but we just want him to know that he has a heavenly father that loves him unconditionally."

|Dear Sir
|Boston October 10th 1785
By the Ship which will sail in a day or two, I beg leave to inform
you that our Situation in america is, by no means so pleasing as would be agreeable to
you, the poverty of the general treasury, as soon as the money now resting in holland
shall be exhausted will be very distressing. A reluctance in the Legislatures to levy
taxes and a greater in the people to pay them seem to urge us with great velocity to a
change of System in the union. we place too much dependence in forms of Government,
while our only remedy is firmness in the Governors and a proper submission in the
Governed, aided or rather indeed Supported by frugality industry and a love to our
Country. did our people content themselves with living as well as they did before the
revolution or three times so well as common people in other Countries live. they might
pay taxes enough with ease to discharge in a short time our public debt. our general
Court have in their Last Session Instructed their delegates to obtain a Convention
"generally to revise and make alteration in the Confederation" but the delegates have
ventured to delay it and have wrote the Governur against it. I beleive he is the Author
of [the] measure but the reason asigned for the measure I cannot conceive to be his, to
wit that the Confederation is not
capable Sufficient to Justify congress in
making treaties &c
I wish we could have the True method of your reception by the K of
GB. the Account published here without Authority is said to hold up the Idea of your
being affected, and his replying in a haughty manner that
your feelings were Just and proper. Others give a different Construction and are
pleased With the Account. there is nothing new that I recollect but what I have
mentioned. our Merchants seem to Close their doors
than usual and unless our Oyl obtains a market in England or even if it
does I see no way by which they can make remittances for the great quantity of
merchandize they have been Credited with.
I thank you for mentioning Your Son to me I have had an opportunity to see him but once only being out of town while he was here it would give me peculiar pleasure to Shew him any civilities within my power.
I have the honor to be / Your most obedt Hble Servt
James Sullivan
