From Ancient Egypt to the lodges that dot America today, this is a probing look at the world's most famous secret organization.
George Washington, Paul Revere and Ben Franklin were all members. So were Mozart and Duke Ellington. The Freemasons are the world's most famous secret society, a nearly 400-year-old organization whose influence is the subject of intense debate and a favorite subject of conspiracy theorists worldwide.
Are they a sinister cabal that uses their influence to help members and further their own mysterious plans, or a harmless social club with a taste for colorful pageantry? THE SECRET BROTHERHOOD OF FREEMASONS is a riveting investigation. Journey back to ancient Egypt to uncover a murderous legend that inspired dark rituals. See a reenactment of the initiation ritual that has remained unchanged for centuries, where candidates swear, on pain of death, to uphold the moral code and secrets of the order. Explore the profound impact Freemasonry had in the formation of our national character, and revisit the sensational murder case that nearly destroyed the Masons.
From mysterious symbols on the $1 bill to the estimated 6 million worldwide members, this is an illuminating look at the SECRET BROTHERHOOD OF THE FREEMASONS.

Win a Kindle Fire From Zoe Winters!
Thanks to Natasha for inviting me to her blog to pimp my contest!
I've been away from writing my Preternaturals series for awhile (was writing books for my other pen name). Since I've been back in Zoe-mode, I've released a side novella in the series that people can read without having read anything else by me yet (Dark Mercy), but the next full-length book in the series, The Catalyst, is coming soon.
Since it's been awhile since I've deeply engaged with this series, I wanted to do something that would serve two different goals:
- Get readers who are already fans of my work re-engaged and immersed in the series so they are ready and psyched for the next book. (You know how you can read a book and love it but then it sort of fades a little in the background so future books don't make you as rabid about having them until you remember how much you loved the other books? Yeah… that.)
- Bring on board new readers for the series.
I love Easter Eggs. (I promise this connects.) I don't mean the colored eggs with the candy inside that the giant bunny (Let's call him Harvey) delivers to small children to make them hyper. I mean the little things in a book or television series that are almost like inside jokes. Like, on Buffy The Vampire Slayer they were still mentioning Xander's hyena possession in season seven. And that happened in season one.
So I decided I would host my own Easter Egg Hunt and reward readers for finding the Easter Eggs I've left for them in my books. The grand prize is a Kindle Fire! Additionally, I'll be giving away signed copies of The Catalyst when it comes out (on the home stretch for that!).
For the contest, all my books are on deep discount (check the contest details page above for titles and buy links), to lower the barrier of contest entry for those who don't already have all the books in the series. The sale will last through Easter Sunday, but you'll have through midnight on April 15th to turn in your Easter eggs.
Even if you don't want to hunt, now is a great opportunity to grab my books, or maybe even give one to a friend for an Easter gift, while they are all on extreme sale. (I can't imagine another situation besides a contest requiring "reference materials" where I'd be crazy enough to discount all my work this deeply.)
Also, if you're feeling awesome, you can tweet, blog, or Facebook the link to the contest page and get extra entries into the smaller prize giveaways. And let me know, of course. (But you have to hunt to win the Kindle Fire!)
Thanks for reading, and… may the odds be ever in your favor. (Sorry, I'm reading the Hunger Games… I totally couldn't help that.)

The Touching Reason Elsa Was Made A Hero In Frozen
Before the film opened, there were grumblings about how far Disney's creative team had strayed from the inspiration for their latest Disney princess feature. In Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen," the titular frosty royal was a villain. So how did Frozen's Queen Elsa turn out to be a hero? It's actually a touching story.

Pixar Will Only Make A Musical If This Happens
Disney's Frozen has surpassed Pixar's Toy Story 3 to claim the honor of highest grossing animated film of all time. But even though the animated musical has left all of Pixar's heralded features in the dust in the race to box office supremacy, that doesn't mean the animation studio is in a rush to imitate. While there could be a musical in Pixar's future, it won't come from a desire to ride Frozen's coattails.

|Add support for ComplexFeatures. GeoTools should be able to parse a complex WFS response and construct a set of Feature objects from it.
|ComplexFeature Parsing & Building Support
complex features FTW
This page represents the current plan; for discussion please check the tracker link above.
GeoTool's lack of support for parsing XML into complex features limits its utility as a GIS toolkit.
I propose to add this functionality by augmenting the codebase such that there are complex-compatible analogues or alternatives to all the classes necessary for WFS-based communications. Existing type hierarchies will be modifed and added to to provide this new functionality. In making these changes I will strive for maximum reuse of existing code and will follow the coding patterns and API conventions currently employed; as such, the code for performing a complex feature request will be much like the code for a simple feature request. Breaking changes will be eschewed.
Central to this work is a new XmlComplexFeatureParser which will use an AttributeBuilder and a ComplexFeatureBuilder to create objects that represent the content of WFS XML responses.
The addition of the following classes has had varying levels of impact on their encompassing type hierarchies:
- WFSContentDataAccess
- WFSDataAccessFactory
- XmlComplexFeatureParser
- ComplexFeatureBuilder
The proposed type hierachies can be seen alongside their previous forms here: See how the type hierarchies have changed.

Intense underground steam explosions that occurred during the crater formation process could be responsible for the central depressions present in these 'twin' craters, located on Thaumasia Planum, an elevated plateau that lies immediately to the south of Valles Marineris, the largest canyon in the Solar System. The images presented here were acquired by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC), operated by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR), on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft on 4 January 2013.
The northernmost (right) of the large craters in images 1, 4 and 5 was named Arima, after a town on the island of Trinidad, in 2012; the southernmost (left) crater is unnamed. Both are just over 50 kilometres across and exhibit complex interior features. The southernmost crater is also presented as a perspective view, revealing its interior characteristics in more detail. Several staggered terraces can be seen between the upper edge of the crater wall, which is over 2000 metres high, and the flat floor. This terracing is frequently observed in craters of this size; after the asteroid impact, the ejecta forming the crater rim, which may be several kilometres high, are unstable and sink along lines of weakness within the crater that are parallel to and concentric with the crater wall.
Formation of central depressions
When a large asteroid strikes the surface of a planet, much of its kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy. Water or ice trapped below the surface is rapidly heated; this can lead to violent steam explosions that create a hole in the centre of the crater, where most of the impact energy is concentrated. As a result, the rocky surface is weakened and collapses into the resulting cavity, or may even be blasted away entirely, leaving a hole surrounded by rocky debris in its place.
Although these two craters are similar in diameter, their central depressions differ in size and depth; this is most clearly evident in the false-colour topographic map (image 5). Perhaps more energy was delivered during the formation of the crater on the left, so that the subsurface ice was quickly evaporated, or more ice was present and caused an explosion of increased violence.
Small crater ejecta blankets also reveal influence of water
Many neighbouring smaller impact craters also reveal the presence of subsurface water or ice at the time of impact, as evidenced by their lobate rampart ejecta blankets. These debris deposits, which were excavated from the crater during its formation, have petal-like lobes around their edges. This feature results from the presence of liquid water in the ejected material, which allowed it to flow along the surface, thus giving the ejecta blanket the appearance of having flowed.
Impact craters like these offer windows into the past, in this case providing evidence for the Thaumasia Planum region having once hosted plentiful subsurface water or ice that was liberated during both small and large impact events.
Image processing and the HRSC experiment on the Mars Express mission
The images were acquired by the HRSC during Mars Express Orbit 11,467 on 4 January 2013. The image resolution is about 25 metres per pixel. The colour image (1/5) was captured using the nadir channel, which is directed vertically down onto the surface of Mars, and the colour channels of the HRSC; the perspective oblique view (2/5) was computed from data acquired by the HRSC stereo channels. The anaglyph image (4/5), which creates a three-dimensional impression of the landscape when viewed with red/blue or red/green glasses, was derived from the nadir channel and one stereo channel. The aerial view, encoded in false colours (5/5), is based on a digital terrain model of the region, from which the topography of the landscape can be derived.
The HRSC camera experiment on board the European Space Agency's Mars Express mission is headed by Principal Investigator (PI) Professor Gerhard Neukum (Freie Universität Berlin), who was also responsible for the technical design of the camera. The science team consists of 40 co-investigators from 33 institutions in 10 nations. The camera was developed at DLR under the leadership of the PI and it was built in cooperation with industrial partners EADS Astrium, Lewicki Microelectronic GmbH and Jena-Optronik GmbH. The instrument is operated by the DLR Institute of Planetary Research in Berlin-Adlershof. The systematic processing of the HRSC image data is carried out at DLR. The images shown here were created by the Institute of Geological Sciences at Freie Universität Berlin in cooperation with the DLR Institute of Planetary Research, Berlin.

This colour plan view was created using data from the nadir channel, which is directed vertically down onto the Martian surface, and the colour channels of the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft. The data was acquired at approximately 17 degrees south and 296 degrees east during orbit 11,467 on 4 January 2013. The image shows two 50-kilometre craters located on Thaumasia Planum, just south of Valles Marineris. North is to the right of the image; the ground resolution is approximately 25 metres per pixel. The northern crater is named Arima, while the southern crater is unnamed. Both craters exhibit central depressions thought to have been caused by underground steam explosions during the impact events that formed them.

Realistic perspective views of the surface of Mars can be generated from data acquired by the stereo and colour channels of the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft, which are oriented at an oblique angle with respect to the planet's surface. This image shows a 50-kilometre crater in the Thaumasia Planum region. The image was generated from the HRSC data using digital terrain models. The image data was acquired on 4 January 2013 during orbit 11,467 and the image shows the central depression of this crater, which is thought to have been formed by a subsurface steam explosion as the thermal energy from the causative impact event rapidly vaporised water or ice lying below the surface.

This image shows part of the Thaumasia Planum region imaged during orbit 11,467 on 4 January 2013 by ESA's Mars Express spacecraft using the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC). Data from HRSC's nadir channel and one stereo channel have been combined to produce this anaglyph 3D image that can be viewed using stereoscopic glasses with red–green or red–blue filters. Centred at approximately 17 degrees south and 296 degrees east, the image has a ground resolution of about 25 metres per pixel. The image highlights Arima Crater (right) and its unnamed 'twin' crater to the left – and the central depressions of both craters.
Using the HRSC stereo camera, digital terrain models can be derived that illustrate the topography of the region using false colours. The altitude allocation can be read from a colour scale at upper right; north is to the right in the image. In the absence of 'sea level', the elevation data is referenced to an areoid – a modelled equipotential surface on which everything experiences the same gravitational attraction towards the centre of the planet. This image shows part of Thaumasia Planum at approximately 17 degrees south and 296 degrees east. The image data was acquired during orbit 11,467 on 4 January 2013. The colour coding reveals the relative depth of the craters, in particular the depths of their central depressions, with the left-hand crater penetrating deeper into the subsurface than the right.

Only having come to Llanmaes for a week, today is my final day – and the week ends as it began, with everyone rained off site. But we had fair weather through the middle of the week, and good progress was made in the trenches. A mixture of pre-Roman and Roman finds in Trench 1 suggests that the site was occupied over a long period, intersecting features indicating that the (potential) settlement was built and re-built over the same spot. There are many post-holes in Trench 1, making an Iron Age settlement likely, although its shape (round or rectangular) has not yet been determined.
I have spent the week working on a large post-hole which, unexpectedly, developed into a second post-hole, almost certainly of different date. As the fill continued further and further back below the top soil, it felt at times as though I would be chasing this feature endlessly across the trench – but it was a nice change to be taken by surprise by a feature, and exciting to realise that the two intersecting post-holes might tell us something about different periods of occupation on the site.
A week is not really long enough to spend on as rich a site as Llanmaes, where new possibilities seem to emerge every day. As well as the potential Iron Age settlement, there is also possible evidence of a furnace, a hearth and a Roman building: plenty for everyone to mull over whilst skulking in the cabins and barns, keeping an eye on the rain.

Hello Archaeology fans!
Llanmaes has given us an unexpectedly sunny day today, with our courageous team of archaeologists only getting rained on once, and the grand total of wet socks at a paltry 4 from the wet sieving brigade.
Today I have been working in a strip of trench one, and have consequently seen very little of the rest of the goings on in the site.
I can however assure you that trench one has seen enough excitement for the whole of Llanmaes with a host of interesting finds coming to light. Among these finds came a shard of what appears to be Roman glass, which Nick has speculated may have originated from a window pane, leading to a somewhat enthusiastic, and yet to be proved 'We have a house here'. More on that another day perhaps.
Another exiting find was found by the intrepid archaeologist Andy, who braved the adversity of forgetting his glasses to bring us a beautiful bucket handle. In order to quell the pre-history/Roman debate this find created, pacifists among us have suggested that we are dealing with pre-historic peoples coexisting happily with Romans in a somewhat utopic society. Our current 'special person' on site, Ian, added that within this society they may have been consuming donkeys, based on a rather large bone found in the lower right hand side of the trench. This with many other things in this blog entry, is yet to be established as a fact.
For my part, myself and Rob have been uncovering some interesting features in the lower right corner of the trench. Rubble fill may prove to be a surface or a dump of some description, whilst finds from the area have included a Roman coin, Iron nails and a number of animal bones. Tomorrow we hope to expand outwards from the feature that may be a surface in hopes of discovering its true purpose, but for now we are left to speculate on a number of features throughout the trench and site.

Well it's been quite a break since the last blog so here is a round up recent events. People in Trench 1 are excavating features, for instance I excavated a (potential!) post hole yesterday. In Trench 2 there has been found a shoe (i.e. a lot of nails in the shape of a shoe). In Trench 3 the quest to discover the ditch is still going on (as far as I know). But today my mission has been on wet sieving. It is so we can analyse the environmental remains of the previous excavations such as the midden of last year.
It is a very wet and cold job but thankfully the weather has held out today. The tanks are currently being cleaned out by eager volunteers who, I expect, would wish to remain nameless. The work looks very disgusting as it leaves you with gloves of mud! A couple people have been doing bone washing as per normal. Bone washers from now on face the weather like the rest of us as the gazebo broke! They do have a radio though so they can't moan that badly, no matter how bored they may be! There is a fly in this blue cabin with me and it is landing on all the cups, I think I'll bring my own in tomorrow and keep it in my bag!

The clearing of topsoil has again being the order of the day in trench 1 (big trench) and progress has been made with the completion of this first but necessary phase of work in sight. We should be ready to move on in trench 1 by tomorrow morning break. There has also been an increase in the amount of prehistoric pottery being unearthed but is likely to be from the water wash from an earlier site that is located up hill from the current site. In trench 2 (L-Shaped trench) a ½ metre section is being excavated to help show the relationship of the different layers of archaeology to help determine how the rest of the trench should be excavated. Work also began today on clearing the topsoil of trench 3 (small trench) and a roman coin was found in the un-stratified material. Bone washing and wet sieving has again continued with steady progress. The weather has held out until the last half hour.
A short introduction
A team of archaeologists from the National Museum and students from Cardiff University will be investigating an archaeological site at Llanmaes in the Vale of Glamorgan over the next four weeks. Over the past four years excavations have concentrated on a large Prehistoric midden (or rubbish dump) which may have been the focus of ritual feasting activity in the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age. This year the team are investigating a different part of the site where geophysics has revealed a large enclosure which may be of Prehistoric date. We hope to find out if it was in use at the same time as the midden. Different members of the team (and hopefully some visitors too) will be contributing their thoughts during the excavation.

Bone washing, wet sieving and the clearing of topsoil continued today. The clearing of topsoil is a time consuming but necessary task but will be finished by tomorrow lunch time most probably. Again the majority of finds (pottery and a few coins) are of a Roman date… Rain was predicted but thankfully none came!

Trowelling of the topsoil continued today. We are removing the topsoil to reveal the natural geology (clay or limestone bedrock) in order to reveal features cut into the rock such as post holes and pits. Wet sieving is also being carried out on site, this is a very wet and messy job. Wet sieving is of large bags of soil from the midden and features of last year, there is quite a back log to get through- trowellers are too fast for their own good! Wet sieving allows us to find any particularly small finds that were missed during trowelling to be found and also to separate environmental evidence such as carbonised grain which floats to the top and is sent away for analysis. The tens of thousands of bone fragments are also being washed on site, these are also to be analysed by a specialist who will help us to determine what animals were being consumed on site and in what quantity. The bone specialist can also tell us in some instances how the animals were butchered if any cut marks can be seen. We had rain again today but this time we weren't so lucky as it didn't rain during break and so we couldn't hide in the site hut. The same problems were faced as yesterday but digging was affected as the rain was more constant even if a little lighter.

Today the Cardiff University archaeology students arrived on site and this was the first full day. The majority of the day was spent clearing up the edges of the trench using spades, shovels and mattocks. A back breaking day was had by all; this is always the most physically hardest day on site. Progress was good and towards the end of the day all three trenches had cleaned straight edges and so the cleaning off of the last remaining topsoil was begun in trenches 1 and 2. Removing the topsoil in Trench 1 revealed the natural limestone bedrock and yellow clay in most areas. Several features were found cutting into this natural geology, including rubble filled ditches and a possible ring gully (these are often associated with Prehistoric roundhouses). However, the finds have mainly been of Roman date, this includes several Roman coins of the late 4th Century. We are still, however, hoping to uncover Prehistoric activity, particularly as this is what geophysics had suggested in some areas. Geophysics involves analysing the ground using equipment which can detect anomalies in the earth's geology. Equipment includes magnetometers which record magnetic susceptibility of the soil (this machine is good at detecting burning activity as the soil becomes more magnetic following heating). The ground is also probed by a machine which measures resitivity. This involves passing an electric current into the ground and detecting the resistance faced. Low resistance features are ditches (they retain water), whereas high resistance features such as stone walls obstruct the electric current.
Anyway, back to the point- geophysics was carried out on the site to help predict what we would find before we dig the site. This helps us decide where to locate the trenches. Geophysics suggested we would find an enclosure ditch surrounding several areas of activity, including burnt areas and various ditches and other anomalous features. We are hoping to find later prehistoric activity that was possibly at some point contemporaneous with the feasting site found in the nearby field on the farm. Previous digs here involved the digging of a midden (a giant Prehistoric rubbish dump) Many amazing artefacts were found including bracelets, cauldron fragments, a chisel, spearhead and tens of thousands of animal bones. Only time will tell if this site is contemporary, but at present Roman finds dominate the evidence.
Today there was torrential rain but luckily this coincided with our lunch hour and so did not affect work too much other than the ground was a lot harder to dig following the down pour with the soil being clayey and trowel edges becoming clogged.

Music Alchemists
Journeys with great conductors
It is an alchemical transformation that we take for granted, which happens in concert halls every night all over the world, but whose mechanics and mysteries seems to elude the most seasoned music-lovers: just how is it that the gestures of great conductors are translated and transcended into sound by the musicians in front of them? Tom Service sums up this on-stage wonder …
They create a charmed circle of listening that starts on the podium.
Tom Service, The Guardian
Is there anything that you can find that defines why one conductor can inspire an orchestra to the highest heights, and why another … well, why some just don't? Or is the vaunted secret of the baton-wielders (well, they mostly use sticks!) up there on the podium a good old-fashioned con trick: they don't even make a sound themselves, apart from the odd unwanted laryngeal grunt; so isn't conducting a kind of shamanic ritual at best, and an odious musical charlatanism at worst? After all, all they're doing up there is waving their arms around in front of an ensemble, like the LSO, who could quite happily use their combined centuries of musical experience to create a much more than passable performance of everything from Mozart to Mendelssohn, from Beethoven to Brahms. So why are conductors, even the great ones, actually necessary?
It's a fundamental question with some strange answers. For Sir Colin Davis, a lifetime of devoting himself to music-making with the world's most distinguished orchestra led him to this essential assessment of his role in the musical process: 'You don't matter at all as a conductor. And if you think you do, you're on a hiding to nothing. You have to get rid of your ego'. And yet: that egolessness is a hard-won prize that very few conductors ever attain; paradoxically, their musical and persuasive powers on the podium increase in almost direct proportion to the diminishment of their sense of self in front of the music and their musicians.
That's something that really does connect all in this series of maestros, however different their approaches to rehearsal, to the psychology of dealing with orchestra players, to interpretation, to the fundamentals of performance practice. All of them have a core inner belief that what they are doing, or trying to do, is to channel their vision of the music as transparently as possible to the players and to an audience. And in their LSO concerts, they can all create an irresistible collective journey that we all go on – conductor, players, listeners. If theirs is an alchemy, it's because they create a charmed circle of listening that starts on the podium, extends to the players, and finally includes and envelops the audience. Their alchemy is our alchemy, too.

The polished metal reflector and soldered seamless end caps on the shade finish the traditional look for a polished and unobtrusive design.

Enroll Now!
I had no idea I would learn so much about this powerful program. I am now comfortable using Photoshop Elements 10 for more than editing photos. I have also created greeting cards and have done some "fun" editing. I wish it would have gone on another few weeks. The instructors did an excellent job in the presentation of the class and the help provided to us students... 5 stars!
Excellent course! Lessons were well written and the examples demonstrated the principles involved.
I really enjoyed this class. I learned all the basics about the components of Photoshop Elements 10. The class was well organized and informative with several opportunities to interact with the program in each lesson.
Great course. I loved PSE 10 for beginners, but this one was even better! I'm very pleased at all the material provided. I'll definitely have to do some serious reviewing. There's so much to remember and all of it is worthwhile.
This is the third class I've taken from this instructor. Awesome! Very knowledgeable lessons. They are written in such a way that they are very easy to follow along and complete.

The home acts as a big filter, or a frame, for the landscape, and each window and opening captures a specific view in its cross hairs — whether that be the fields in front of the house or the mountains in the distance. Roll-up, garage style windows allow the home to turn inside out, and shade screens on the south can move at a moment's notice. Off-the-shelf hydraulic actuators can raise or lower the screens for variations of shade and views. The home can respond quickly and easily to changes in light and weather conditions, as well as to the desired view.
In order to give such an open house a low carbon footprint, and to keep it as close to net zero as possible, Medicine Hat Inc decided to focus their efforts not so much on a tight, high performance envelope, but instead on renewable energy. The theory being that if the energy is clean and renewable, then it doesn't really matter how much of it you use. Many may differ with this opinion, but if an owner is willing to pay for a larger PV system in order to have their dream home and still have a net zero home, then we commend them. Besides the PV system on the roof, the home, when closed, relies on geothermal heating and cooling and propane is used for cooking.
Fabricated into sections, modules and sub-assemblies in Bozeman, MT, the Ruby Springs Prefab was then transported to the remote site near Sheridan. Prefabrication significantly reduced the number of trips to and from the site as well as transportation of the materials, contractors and tradesmen. Materials are all low VOC, the flooring is cork, reclaimed Douglas Fir is used on the trim, doors, furniture, and exterior shade screens, and finally all the windows have lowE coatings.

Looks like Stephanie Sandston isn't beyond using friends (or an alter-ego) to drum up business.
I think the major error in the article is not even mentioning where the hell Ruby Springs is located. But thanks to Stephanie Sandston's shamless self-promotional efforts, I now know that it's in Montana.

The interior designer Stephanie Sandston, who is based in Bozeman, Montana, did an incredible job with this project, which she originated–even first constructing it in her yard. Even the curtain fabric is her design. Her creative hand is on this whole project, and she deserves some credit!

You should have mentioned the Bozeman-based interior designer Stephanie Sandston, who brought this whole project together. Her work here is stunning!

I've been noticing Tebow a lot more, since I've been having to edit sports segments about him at work.
Hot fucker.
And he seems like a generally nice guy.
Yes. He is obviously gay and in the closet.
No. He is truly a virgin and religious as he claims.
I've been noticing Tebow a lot more, since I've been having to edit sports segments about him at work.
Hot fucker.
And he seems like a generally nice guy.
This is why I hate it when athletes and celebs inject
their religious views into the world. I simply cannot find
him attractive anymore after knowing he's a right wing
bible thumper.
I dont care much for his religous bullshit. But hey I sure would like to fuck his big beefy quarterback ass all night long.
apparently this is his girlfriend.
Virgin till marriage my ass.
I prefer his new eye patches....
hot thread by the way
Absolutely, NOTHING special about this guy
Plus his head is too small for his body
And his chin is too pointed
You can keep this ugly homophobe.
Colt is so much more hotter and i bet he is queer with shiply
One jock I can't get into. Does his jockstrap have any Bible verses on the pouch?
^ It's so true. Another good example: Kanye West gets mercilessly bashed (here and on several gay blogs) for being Kanye West and especially after Taylorgate, even though West is one of the only rappers who has come out and said that gay people need to be treated equally, and he's even criticized hip hop for being too homophobic and urged the community to change that. Did gays in general thank Kanye for that? No. Instead he is constantly ridiculed for things that don't matter at all.
Meanwhile Tim Tebow et al can form an alliance with any homophobic group they want, and gays are all, "But he's still hot" and "It's his right to free speech." I don't think I need to point out that this hypocrisy falls along race lines, straight male worship, and conventional notions of beauty (big pecs, thick neck, blue eyes etc).
this guy and his girlfriend probably just like things that are bigger. probably they both have smaller brains. lol
We're not going to convince each other regarding our stands on abortion rights....CBS has said it has adapted its policy on accepting advertisements on issues so unlike the time a couple years back it would not air a very positive pro-gay marriage ad as too controversial...if a similar one is produced and marketed to them or other stations it should air as well.
unofficial official mini meet Friday- Saturday April 11-12, 2014
it was pro-choice
is there another?
Tim Tebow..could you get anymore..never mind
just that i've heard for a week how evil it would be
no. it was pro-choice
it will be on youtube i'm sure
somebody's confused
it's pro-life dude.
did you see it, dude
It was heavily revised...with lots of help from CBS. They REALLY wanted those Focus on the White-Christian-Nuclear-Family dollars.
the one aired during the 1st qt of the superbowl was a little different than that one
tim tackles his mom
people can see the same thing differently
pro-choice is allowing the woman to choose.
this tebow woman chose birth. that in itself isnt the full measure though
there also must be no anti-abortion stand
this ad met both so it was pro-choice
Then I guess it would be their loss, considering that Focus on the Family is staunchly anti-choice.
Hooray for creating ambiguous threads for the purpose of... what, exactly? It took you eight posts in your own thread to announce a point.
Looks pretty pro-choice to me. She made her choice and she's happy with it. she's encouraging people to choose life but I didn't see anywhere her saying "I shouldn't have had that choice."
What's funny is that her story is 100% bullshit. She lived in the Philippines and abortion there is illegal. She made the whole story up, she was never given a choice.
We'll meet again...
I'm not even really sure, on second watch.. what it's about.
To be honest, it looks more like a pro-affordable health care ad.
I mean, I know that it's supposed to be an anti-abortion ad.. but it's not... it's just... about nothing, really... maybe pediatric health care?
We'll meet again...
matin6, the point was made in post 1
Jasun, i agree with both of your points
so one of us should change our mind

Give this 550-hp V10 Hartge BMW Z4 a home
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Dec 30th, 2008 at 12:31PM
Here at Autoblog, we cherish the simple things in life. Like a cold beer on a hot afternoon, spending the holidays with family or stuffing an oversized engine into a little sportscar. It's a time-honored tradition, and this example is no less worthy than any that has come before.Evidently unsatisfied with the S54B32 inline-six powering the top-of-the-line Z4 M, one European enthusiast dropped in the 5.0-liter V10 from the M5 and M6 into his little Z4. But even the stock 507 horses from the high-revving ten wasn't enough for this Bimmerphile, so he went with Hartge's 550-hp version,... Read More

After being criticized in their past ad campaigns for showing blood and knives and depicting a barely dressed woman pinned to the floor by a group of men, now it's time for their fall campaign to be in the eye of the cyclone. Shot by Steven Klein, the pictures feature a crop of female models in skintight dominatrix clothes, metallic belts and whips, surrounded by naked models in statuesque poses.
The critique this time, according to a spokeswoman, is that men are portrayed as objects. The set is similar to the futuristic-cum-seductive backdrop.
"Since these images have offended someone, we want to stress that we wanted to represent a strong and dominatrix woman, as is today's woman. It's the vision of a dream more than reality, where the whip symbolizes women's power and where the naked models refer to a classic beauty inspired by Michelangelo," said Gabbana. "We wanted to place this artistic reference above everyday reality, but there was no intent to be vulgar or offend anyone's human dignity."
Speaking of the image of men, the two designers are featured in the September issue of Italian GQ talking with editor in chief Michele Lupi about fashion, men and their fast-changing whims and style. "[Men] are more self-confident, calm and do not fear showing their feelings or a more feminine sensibility. They are less interested in emulating the traditional and formal models, as in suits with hankies," said Gabbana. "Contemporary men prove their freedom by exceeding the formal and strict rules which used to give self-assertiveness."
Dolce and Gabbana styled the cover shot by Klein with a silver bikini-clad Gisele Bündchen and the fashion spread with David Bailey.
The designers' stint is part of a restyling project, began by Lupi in November when he joined GQ. It led to a 13 percent ad page increase in the first quarter of this year compared with the same period the previous year.
