Fear 2/5
Gore 1/5
Entertainment 3/5
Creepiness 1/5
I'm going to go ahead and declare the 2000's as the decade of the French. Well, at least in terms of horror movies that is. One may argue that Irreversible is not a horror film or that it straddles that line from time to time without completely venturing into the realm. But once you see it, you'll rank it high on the list of notoriously 'classic' rape/revenge films.
Playing much like Memento, the film is shown in a backwards chronology of events leading up to a confrontation between a pair of buddies and a man who raped their female friend. Both men have a current relationship with their victimized female counterpart: one as current boyfriend and another as ex; a good friend but obviously clinging to the off chance that she will dump her current beau and get back with him. The film shockingly starts as both men track down the assailant at a gay club (appropriately called Rectum) where they exact their revenge in a brutalized fashion. With the current boyfriend momentarily disabled, the more awkward and unassuming ex repeatedly beats the man with a fire extinguisher with such fervor and reckless abandonment that to start the film off in such away, immediately and emotionally connects the viewer.
'Oh great', you say. 'Thanks Cortez, now why should I watch the rest of this?' Interestingly enough, it keeps you on pins and needles as you want to know why these two men are hellbent on exacting their revenge. From the trek through town in search of the club, to their wild and crazy party leading up to the rape, and the rape itself, its an interesting weaving of a tale that asks the all too important question thats necessary in a film like this: 'What would you do?' The unfolding of the relationship between all three friends gives such depth and gut wrenching weight to what was viewed at the beginning. And the most shocking element that I found was not the rape itself (although it was incredibly disturbing), it was the unassuming, self-deprecating, still sticking around in the hopes of getting back together ex who actually ended up being the more malicious and relentlesss of the two.
A hard one to recommend for sure but ultimately, I do. As mentioned, the rape scene is entirely disturbing (its about 20 minutes long and rivals that of I Spit on Your Grave AKA Day of the Woman). But if you can get through that, there is a lot more going on with this film. And the surrealist way in which some of the scenes were shot adds another level of depth. Almost like you were inside the minds of the characters as they went through a sort of uncontrollable, completely out of their mind, experience.
An incredible movie it will stay with you long after the credits roll. I'm still trying to figure out if they killed the right guy or not.
Ed. Note: I've re-watched the film and in fact, the wrong guy was killed. This leads me to believe that overall, the director is making a direct statement about revenge and how it lacks any merit.

The invitation was cryptic: Show up at a nondescript recording studio in Santa Monica at an appointed hour, and the four members of No Doubt will be there, with news to share.
Was it a breakup announcement? After all, the Orange County quartet vocalist Gwen Stefani, 41; bassist Tony Kanal, 40; guitarist Tom Dumont, 43; and drummer Adrian Young, 41 haven't released a new studio album since 2001's Rock Steady. And Stefani's calendar, which includes a solo career, clothing lines, and marriage and two young sons with musician Gavin Rossdale, 45, is packed solid. But happily, no; read on to find out what we learned.
EW So, guys, what's up?
Gwen Stefani Um, we are...what if I said something really bad?
Adrian Young We're all having sex changes!
Tony Kanal We've made a record. We're really excited about it. We're in the final stages now. It'll be out this year.
Stefani We only have a few more songs to finish. It's been a really long process. Fun, but it's starting to get not as fun. We're like, ''Let's hurry up and finish it!''
Kanal We started writing in 2008, when Gwen was pregnant with [second son] Zuma. We spent that year trying to write, and we hit a block.
EW What was the block?
Stefani Not writing songs. Like, going in and hitting your head against the wall for hours and feeling really bad about yourself for days and days. We definitely took a snail's pace, but only because we all have so much going on. My day consists of waking up with babies, and then working out, my clothing lines, and picking them up from school, and then rolling into the studio at 4:30 and you only have a few hours before you have to be up with the kids again. And I can't do it five days a week. I have to be home with them for dinner.

February 15, 2013, 4:14 pm– This past weekend, Rupert Grint attended the International Premiere of The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman at Berlin Film Festival and not only walked the Red Carpet, but also participated in a Press Call on Sunday. Four of our staffers had the chance to interview him, and Rupert answered our questions about his character Karl and the film, and once again participated in a photo interview like last year in Oslo.
"And my character was quite a challenge, I suppose, although he is only a tiny part of the film, the character kept changing.
Originally, in the script, I was German and I got my head around playing a German person, but in the end, there were so many accents in the film that they thought it would be too much, so they went away from that version.
I was a virgin at one point, which would have been another weird direction there. So it was a lot of work figuring out who I was."
You can read the full interview here, and the photo interview here. (Note that the last question was four days before the news of Super Clyde…)
We know that you not only like to read his interviews, so you can find HQ pictures from our interview in our Gallery, and an audio on our youtube channel, or enjoy the video below:
Since all four of us had the opportunity to watch the movie (twice), we also have finished our review chat – although we must give out a warning that we cover adult themes as is the case in the film. If you're of age, you may read it here. In case you have any questions about the film or our review, simply use the comments to ask.
And finally, Jessica, the lucky winner of our competition for two tickets to the premiere, has also written up a short report about her experience, which you can read here!
We would like to thank Rupert for taking the time and for giving us such a great time in Berlin, and to his team, esp. "Bonnie" and "Hamish" for making this happen!

Balanced Transportation Analyzer (via Wired)
Tags: Auto-Centric, Charles Komanoff, congestion pricing, economics, externalities, models, new york city, technology, transit, Transportation, Wired
Today's post presents a story about transportation modelling and the real costs of driving, originally covered in this month's Wired magazine. Congestion pricing isn't exactly a popular idea in North America, so it's great to see the science behind it taken seriously in non-planning media.
The goal of traffic engineering is to maintain the safe and efficient movement of people and goods. It is typically measured in terms of vehicular volume, traffic flow, and incident rates. However, traffic and transit are complicated issues with significant economic, environmental, and social and ramifications. Charles Komanoff, an energy-policy analyst, transport economist and environmental activist, has devoted years to measuring and analyzing New York's … Continue Reading

the goal is to write a grand total of 16 songs for the remaining weeks of the year, regardless of quality. obviously the goal is quantity, and if I can keep this up every week then something amazing will have occurred.
- song length must be at least 2:30 in time
- standard orchestral setup, but (only) a piano is fine too
- this challenge begins Saturday, September 3, 2011 at 11:59PM
- deadline is every Saturday at 11:59PM
there are no excuses! this is an exercise in quantity over quality, in letting go of inhibitions and perfectionism for production and getting shit done
this is my goal for the rest of the year!
(of course – as soon as I post this here on the life list, I realize it should go on the resolutions list for 2011)

The beat goes on, and on, in that vast, ever-morphing array of styles lumped together as electronica. But even the most devout have to admit techno's been in a funk for years, as if bummed that it failed to conquer the world after its commercial breakthrough seven years ago. How, then, to resuscitate a genre that promised the future but seems programmed in the past?
For the Prodigy, the answer lies in pretending it still is 1997. After a lengthy layoff punctuated by one forgettable single, Liam Howlett has revived the band that gave electronica one of its few hits (''Firestarter'') and few stars (Mohawked gargoyle Keith Flint). Frontman Flint is gone, but Howlett's infatuation with maximum-overdrive big beats and fire-alarm chaos endures on Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned; his tracks are on perpetual orange-level alert. Opting for various singers, Howlett scores with Juliette Lewis and Kool Keith, who are appropriate sonic barkers. But after such an extended hiatus, one expects more from a Prodigy album than ''Firestarter'' knockoffs like ''Get Up Get Off,'' which encases Twista in techno-metal sludge. It wasn't Howlett's fault that Flint became the voice and face of the band, upending techno's emphasis on music and crowd over celebrity. But you still miss the demonic elf.
Fellow Londoner Dizzee Rascal speed-raps like no one else, yet the fizzy, minimalist beats and whirs that surround England's most prominent hip-hop artist are largely electronica, reflecting the broad impact of that community on the entire U.K. music scene. His second album, Showtime, starts strong; ''Stand Up Tall'' is the hardest, clubbiest track he's ever done, and ''Graftin''' is an eerie, postapocalyptic soundscape. Then the tracks bog down in jungle-style spaciness, much as they did on his debut, Boy in Da Corner. Rascal is an arresting rhymer (even when you can't understand a garbled word he's saying), and these barren videogame shoot-out beats and textures don't do him justice.
As with their counterparts in garage rock redux, Omaha's the Faint look to the past for inspiration -- the monotonal voices, pogoing synths, and synthetic handclaps of two decades ago. But the Faint have grown beyond being the mere genre revivalists they were on 2001's Danse Macabre. On their fourth album, Wet From Birth, they're writing zippy songs about crushes (''Desperate Guys'') and the joyful anticipation of reuniting with a girlfriend (''Southern Belles in London Sing''), sprinkling them with zesty strings and punked-out guitars. Singer Todd Baechle and his bandmates may be young old farts, but they don't reduce their period obsessiveness to smirky I Love the '80s irony -- not yet, anyway. Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned: B- Showtime: C+ Wet From Birth: B+

ASME Says Criticism of Nominations is 'Kind of Silly'
Yesterday, when FishbowlNY covered the 2012 National Magazine Award finalists, we expected the typical backlash against the major publishing houses and our fine city. While there was some of that, many people took the ASME to task for the noticeable lack of women writers.
As Ann Friedman — the Executive Editor of GOOD — noted, "Women hold their own or dominate in servicey categories (public interest, personal service) and fiction. They are not represented at all in the categories of reporting, feature writing, profile writing, essays and criticism, columns and commentary." Alyssa Rosenberg, writing for Think Progress, added that the "women's" category ends up hurting female writers:
The division in General Excellence creates an incentive for women's magazines to genuinely specialize their coverage across the board, while men's magazines have incentives to commission features and criticism that compete with publications like the New Yorker and The Atlantic.
Sid Holt, the ASME's Chief Executive, brushed off the criticism. He wrote to Poynter and said it was all "Kind of silly," went through the selection process and cited past nominations as proof that there is no bias:

I recently had the opportunity to catch up with a friend of mine who had been in a long distance relationship that ended poorly. Many of my close friends always ask me how Blake and I made our relationship work across countries, and at times, in opposite hemispheres. I'm also often asked how we managed to do it without wanting to kill each other. There is no short answer for this, so I've decided to break it down into the ten things to keep in mind when you're considering, or are already in a long distance relationship.
#1) Trust
You might think this sounds like an obvious, lackluster way to start. Were you expecting me to say something friskier about long distance relationships, or were you romanticizing the idea of being hundreds, if not THOUSANDS of miles away from the person you love? Let me make one thing clear before you continue, if you get to the end of #1 and you already doubt your entire long distance relationship, take some time and reflect on your needs. Trust is the foundation of every relationship. Hacking into your significant other's email account, reading all of their text messages, and interrogating them unremittingly doesn't sound like a fun way to spend your time. I mean, you might as well be serving a subpoena. I'm not just talking to ladies here, this for men too. If you think trusting your significant other is hard when you're in the same town, then you're in for a real treat when you can't see what they are doing all hours of the day. Save your sanity, and your wallet, and don't hire a private investigator. Blake has so many female friends at home, some of which are supermodels. No, not just really pretty chicks, ACTUAL Ford supermodels. I don't know what they put in the water in Australia, but I wouldn't mind some of it in a Nalgene bottle (recycling for the win, y'all). What's important is that they were in his life long before I was. I respect and trust his friendships with his close friends, because he has never given me reason not to. Your distrust may be 100% justified based on past experiences with this person, but if that is the case, why are you still in this relationship? A long distance relationship will only become harder if you do not make a dedicated effort to trust each other.
#2) Be honest about your expectations with your significant other, and yourself.
This goes hand in hand with trust. You have to take care of your needs, while respecting somebody else's needs. Before you even begin an LDR, be honest with your significant other, and with yourself. Here are a few questions to think about:
-Is this really what I want?
-Do I have the time to make this commitment?
-Am I being fair to the person I'm dating if I've said no to either of those questions?
-If Ryan Gosling or Megan Fox came to town would I be able to resist? No? Okay, well not many people would so I'll let that slide.
#3) Have a sense of humor
Having a sense of humor totally makes the miles more bearable. There were times where Blake and I would Skype, and when the image came on the screen, he'd be making a goofy face. Sometimes if we were having a conversation, and he was trying to get my attention, I'd cross my eyes every time he started talking to me. He couldn't help cracking up. Once, while he was in Ireland, I answered his Skype call to see him wearing a leprechaun hat with a red beard attached. Actually, I think I have a picture of this.
#4) Stay connected to each other's passions
Two years ago, Blake and I were just friends. Both groups of our own friends will dispute this statement to the grave, but we swear on our lives that we just enjoyed each other's company. For a year and a half we were completely platonic. One of the first things we talked about, long ago in the land of "just friends we swear", was music. After discovering that we loved the same music, we began sending each other songs every day. This trait of our friendship eventually carried over into our relationship. When we were faced with distance, we calculated the fourteen hour time difference, and made sure that the person waking up on the other side of the world would have a song in their inbox when they woke up.
Aside from music, Blake and I each have our own passions. They are very different passions, but we did what we could to support each other. Blake is a rugby player, and travelled to Ireland for 6 months to play. I am a writer, and I can't count the number of times I sent Blake rough drafts to read. The poor boy probably thought he was in high school again. During one of Blake's particularly important rugby tournaments, I was waitressing in NH and snuck into the basement of the restaurant I worked at to strea his game on my phone.
I know, Employee of the Year!
The point is, while we were far apart, we did as much as we could to stay connected and updated on what the other person felt passionate about.
#5) Communicate and coordinate
This is where making sure that you have the time for an LDR plays in. Long distance relationships take a lot of communication and coordination. Early on, you should both sit down and figure out a time frame that works for your schedules. Blake and I had an extreme time difference on our hands. Australia is 14 hours ahead of New Hampshire, which is cool if you're traveling, because it feels like you're going into the future. It wasn't cool in the sense that we had coordinate times that we would both be awake for just to get some face time. There were times that one of us had to wake up at 6am, or stay up until 3am, but having an hour to see each other uninterrupted was worth it. Try not to get in the habit of rescheduling. Understandably, things come up. Realize that if you start getting used to rescheduling Skype dates and phone calls, before you know it, you're going on day five of no contact and you're wondering if your significant other is in a ditch somewhere
6) Keep Living Your Life
Instead of sitting around the house in your pajamas all day (or your pajama jeans if you value comfort AND fashion…) watching reruns of Hawaii 5-0, GET OUT OF THE HOUSE. Go for a run, grab a drink with friends after work, learn the cupid shuffle, take some time to discover a new hobby, but for the love of all that is holy DO NOT sit by your phone. Not only will it make time crawl by at a speed which can only be related to watching Curling on the Olympics, but by the time your significant other calls, you will already be in a bored state of mind. I'm not telling you to be something you're not. Don't feel like you need to go bungee jumping just so you'll have something to exciting to talk about. I'm telling you that the busier you keep yourself, the less time you'll have to be sad.
#7) Learn to accept, reflect, and connect with your emotions
(Are you confused because I just made it sound like being sad is a bad thing? I'll explain.)
I'm going to be completely vulnerable to a bunch of strangers in the blogosphere for a moment: During the nine months that Blake and I lived in different countries, we made trips to see each other three times. The stretch after the last visit before Blake moved here was the hardest, and there were times that I didn't think I could handle it. Nobody could understand why I was frustrated with my "fairy tale" relationship. I travelled to a foreign land, fell in love, and lived happily ever after, so why was I complaining? The thing is, whether you are a hundred miles away, or 10,000 miles away, exchanging face to face interaction and the chance to create real life memories, for computer screen and telephone conversations is not a fairy tale. It's hard.
I had been holding it in for weeks, pretending that everything was breezy. One day, at work, I couldn't hold it in anymore. After putting the girls I nannied for down for a nap, I went into the bathroom, buried my head in a pile of folded pillows, and cried hysterically for ten minutes. Does that sound like a healthy way of handling emotions? Of course not. The next night, Meg and I grabbed a drink and split a strawberry shortcake after work. Without judging me, she let me spill out all of my mixed up feelings until I had a solid grip on them. I felt SO much better.
Moral of the story: Locking yourself in your room, while wearing pajama jeans and crying for ten hours straight is bad for your health. It is equally detrimental to your health if you pretend like your emotions don't exist. Find a healthy way to create balance between the times that it's hard, because it WILL be hard, and the times that you feel great.
DISCLAIMER: Pajama Jeans are probably never a good thing.
#8) Send Mail!!!
This deserves three exclamation points. Living in a time where technology trumps a paper and pen, the value of sending packages is often forgotten. You can send an email in two minutes, but putting together a package takes time and careful consideration. It also keeps things exciting, because you have something to look forward to. Each week, Blake and I would put together a package, including a CD with new music, pictures, one or two little presents, and hand written letters. Even if you send just one of those items along, it is exciting to think about how the other person is going to react to what you've picked out. It is just as exciting receiving a package and discovering what the other person thought you would like, and it's a hell of a lot more exciting than opening your mail box to find a pile of bills.
#9) Make Plans to See Each Other
Long Distance Relationships are always more bearable if you have a date set in mind of when you will see each other next, because it gives you both something to count down to. If you're close enough, find a way to set aside a weekend that works for both of you, and take a little trip. The street runs both ways, so make sure you take turns visiting. It's not fair if you are always expecting them to come to you, or if you are the person who is always making the trip. To make things more exciting, find somewhere in the middle that is new to both of you and experience it together. Turn it into an adventure! Blake and I were so far away from each other, but we managed to take turns visiting each other over in various countries. Blake came to America for Christmas, and we experienced New York City together. Three months later I visited Blake while he was abroad in Ireland.
#10) Come to a conclusion, and CELEBRATE when it's over!
At some point, you have to decide how the distance will come to a close. For example, one person moving home after being away for school is simpler than the predicament that arises when one person has to leave their home and move across the country, or world. After discussing the pros and cons of both options, Blake came to the conclusion that he wanted to move to America on his own. Allow each other to take time deciding what the best fit for your relationship will be. The worst thing you can do is rush the decision.
Naturally, the BEST part of a LDR, after months of being apart, is celebrating your success. Long Distance Relationships are challenging, and they take an immense amount of trust and patience. If you've successfully managed to stay faithful and honest, it will only make your relationship stronger. When Blake and I look back on the nine months that we spent apart, we realize there really isn't anything that we can't accomplish together. I'll never forget pulling up to the airport in June and seeing Blake standing there with his suitcases. The elation of knowing that he wouldn't be leaving again, and that he wanted to be here, was overwhelming.

What a cornucopia of delicious ingredients! Our mushroom-loving friend Joe Dizney is always dreaming up dishes involving chanterelles and corn, and this is his best one yet. The apricot flavors intensify the mushroom's fruity nuances and the butter and sausage add a savory richness.
This stuffing calls for corn bread, for which there are as many recipes as there are Southern cooks. Use your favorite recipe or try a prepared mix. The stuffing (there's about 10 cups) can be used with a goose, turkey, or other bird.
1. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet, over medium heat. Add the shallots and one-third of the garlic and sauté until just wilted, 1 minute. Add 1 pound of the chanterelles and the minced dried apricots. Stir to coat with the butter. Add the nutmeg and ¼ cup of the brandy. Cover the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid, about 7 minutes.
2. Uncover the pan, turn the heat to high, and continue cooking until most of the liquid has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, season to taste with salt and pepper, and transfer the mushroom mixture to a small bowl.
3. In the same skillet, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and the onion and sauté until wilted, 2 minutes. Add the sausage and fry, breaking up with a spoon, until it is no longer pink. Add the celery and continue cooking for 3 minutes more.
4. Combine the crumbled com bread, mushrooms, and sausage in a large bowl, stir in the pecans, the julienned dried apricots, scallions, parsley, and ¼ cup brandy. Season to taste. You should have about 10 cups stuffing. (The stuffing may be made up to 2 days in advance. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
5. Stir in 1 cup stock.
6. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
7. Rub the outside of the chicken with the olive oil. Season liberally, both inside and out, with salt and pepper. Stuff the chicken, close the openings, and truss the chicken (see Note).
8. Roast the chicken for 15 minutes, then baste it with its own juices or a little olive oil. Reduce the heat to 350°F and continue roasting for about 2 hours. Exact timing depends upon the size of the chicken and the reliability of the oven temperature. It's a good idea to allow an extra 30 minutes. The chicken is done when a fork pierced into the leg near the joint releases clear liquid.
9. Remove the chicken from the roasting pan. Pour off the fat. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of apricot brandy into the pan over high heat. Stir, scraping up the stuck bits of meat. Set aside.
10. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium-size sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining ½ pound of chanterelles and sauté until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes: Add the defatted pan drippings and remaining ¼ cup stock to the sauté pan. Reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste, and serve in a gravy boat.
11. Remove the stuffing from the chicken. Carve the chicken and serve the sauce and stuffing on the side.
Extra stuffing can be baked in a casserole dish, covered with aluminum foil. Bake until warmed through, about 30 minutes. Check halfway through; if it appears dry, add some stock, wine, or pan drippings.
Although you can use a needle and thread to truss a chicken after it's been stuffed, I like to use a metal or wooden skewer instead. Pull together the excess skin from both sides of the opening, overlapping it, if possible. Lace a skewer through the skin, as if you were sewing. The opening should be nice and secure.
Nutritional information is based on 4 servings, using one small 4 lb roasting chicken, 1 teaspoon of added salt. Nutritional information does not include Light Chicken Stock. For nutritional information on Light Chicken Stock, please follow the link above.

Masturbation is safe and 100% effective in avoiding STDs and pregnancy.
Surely you were once a teen and understand the need, just as you do as an adult. Kids could be doing a lot worse, than hiding in their rooms and *pleasuring* themselves when they need to.
|Tue, 04-29-2003 - 12:18pm

Shere Hite in her book The Hite Report on Male Sexuality found:Most men, even though they masturbate, feel they should not, and they feel lonely and guilty for doing it. Many men found it depressing. The overwhelming majority of men are secretive about doing it. Most do not even tell their wives.
As you can see, males instinctively know it is wrong to masturbate. Also, it is apparent that men usually continue to suffer from masturbation the rest of their lives once they develop the habit. That is why it is so important to prevent masturbation before it starts; it is highly addictive. At this point, I should caution you that helping your son avoid masturbation is not a short-term task. It is similar to dieting, where virtually every day faces temptation. One conversation will not do it. And like a dieter, he will slip from time to time. You need to always be there to support him in developing the self-control to resist the daily desire to masturbate.
Perhaps the easy road would be to ignore the problem and let your son sink into a hidden addiction that you never have to see. But as a parent, don't you want something better for your child? As a parent, you are probably the only person in your son's life who will have the opportunity to give him the chance not to develop this problem. If Christian books do not turn you off, I highly recommend "Every Young Man's Battle."
Good luck,
|Wed, 08-20-2003 - 10:15pm
JMHO..I think your step son has to spend some time by himself in his room..without everyone in the house knowing WHAT he's doing! Heavens! I know my sons masturbated..but I sure didn't know WHEN..and I didn't WANT to know when!

|Ornithological Biography or, An Account of the Habits of the Birds of the United States of America; Accompanied by Descriptions of the Objects Represented in the Work Entitled The Birds of America, and Interspersed with Delineations of American Scenery and Manners.
|Introductory Address→
|In 1831 Audubon published this as a companion to Birds of America, which contained only engraved captions. The works were separated in this fashion because of it being published in the United Kingdom where all publishers of written material were required to donate a copy of to each public library. So it was arranged that Birds of America contained no written material as it would have been to expensive to make so many free copies. Later on a smaller more affordable edition was published combining the pictures and descriptions in one work.

Diablo Cody: Riding 'Rock of Love Bus'!
The first time I watched Poison's episode of Behind the Music the first, I might add, of what would prove to be many, many viewings I was struck by something. No, it wasn't C.C. DeVille's aureole of peroxide-white hair, which made him resemble a snow monkey from the mountains of Honshu. Actually, I was surprised by Poison's affable, articulate frontman, Bret Michaels. He came off like a friendly Pennsylvania boy, chatting candidly about everything from his sex tape with Pamela Anderson to his battle with the disease he charmingly pronounced ''diabeetus.'' By the time the credits rolled, I found myself wanting to hang out with Bret Michaels. Little did I know that a decade later, the man would be holding televised auditions for the privilege.
You see, that memorable episode of Behind the Music aired in the late '90s, back when John Mayer was still pissed about high school and Posh and Becks were newlyweds. Flash forward to present day Bret Michaels remains on VH1, only now he's embroiled in the third season of Rock of Love, the sleaziest, cheesiest, herpeeziest competitive reality show since, uh, Flavor of Love. And I, predictably, am capital-O Obsessed.
Some of my regular blog readers and Twitter followers are dismayed by my love for this show. I can understand that. Rock of Love is an oft-tragic parade of single moms, not-so-single moms, clownishly overendowed strippers, pathological showbiz wannabes, and the occasional Good Girl who seems perpetually startled by this thing she's stumbled into. All these women are vying shamelessly for the attention of a stranger who expects fidelity from them, but appears to make no such demands on himself. As a feminist (you know, one of those people Lady GaGa thinks are so angry), I shouldn't watch Rock of Love. But as a fallible human being who craves amazing entertainment, I can't not watch it.
NEXT PAGE: Could it be possible that this season, the nice guy from Behind the Music will actually find the blushing rose to his rugged thorn?

Helen is a people developer. She firmly believes we all have unlimited, untapped potential. Realizing that and leading others to that realization has been her life purpose. She has spent her entire adult life encouraging and leading others, both individuals and teams.
Whether it was as a grade school teacher or leading teenagers on Mission Trips across the United States – repairing homes and developing relationships or building high-performing relationship marketing teams or serving as a nursing home volunteer enhancing the lives of the elderly, Helen works tirelessly to help the people she meets grow and reach their full potential.
The work she does through IMPACT Leadership has been very fulfilling to her. She has seen many lives positively changed as a result of experiencing her powerful coaching sessions. When asked about the mastermind groups she leads, she will tell you it is a very spiritual experience- people come together, open up, trust, and grow towards clarity they often didn't know existed. Last year she started a youth leadership development program with a local church. She had such great results, that the teenagers requested that she come back this year for another round of training, which she is very happy to do.
In addition to being a company top performer in sales and recruiting, she also leads others to build teams of the same caliber. She attributes that to "No minimum thinking", believing you often get what you expect. Her wisdom as to how to motivate and inspire is constantly sought after. Combined with a humble spirit, an energy that is quietly controlled, an unshakable optimistic outlook, and unwavering faith, she attracts others that desire the same.
Helen is not always serious and reflective. She loves to laugh and have a good time! She can often be found outdoors gardening or now joyfully walking with her husband and their new grandson!
If you have ever wondered what the secret some seem to posses…those that have a definitive direction and unlimited energy, today she will be showing you how to begin discovering your very own purpose in order to align your energy and unleash the passion that comes with living your purpose…on purpose!
Everyone ends up somewhere but few end up somewhere on purpose. There are two important days in your life…the day you were born and the day you discover why. Helen Ober guides others to discovering this why, hence living her life purpose. She believes we have all been created with incredible unique potential and has witnessed lives changing and businesses growing as a result of working with her.
Helen has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education/Psychology from the University of Delaware. This enabled her to teach children then transition into working with teenagers and then adults. She has worked in Direct Sales for 30 years, coaching and teaching principles of success and leadership. As a Founding Partner of the John Maxwell Team, Helen continues to live her passion on purpose.

Santa – Your Go-To Marketing Pro
By: Shannon Cherry
Comments | More posts by Shannon Cherry
Like this?
He's the one man who really knows if you've been good or bad. But did you additionally know that Santa also knows great marketing?
Just think about it. The jolly ol' elf is one of the supreme marketers of all time – and nobody of us have even really seen him in the flesh!
So take a little advice from the guy who doesn't fit the pop idol ideal (after all red suits and a belly like jelly aren't exactly something the fashionistas rave about), but every year always makes a remarkable impression:
1. Stick with what works. Each year, Santa's message is dependable. Santa Claus never changes his persona or what he stands for as he found one that works for him. All too often, business owners feel the need to jump on the 'next big idea,' even though what's being done marketing-wise is established and accepted.
2. Know what gets attention. Although he's promoting the same thing year after year, Kris Kringle also knows how to develop wonderful new angles to his service each and every year. Business owners need to continuously be thinking of fresh ways to create hooks that appeal, even if the message is the same.
3. Build relationships that last. Instead of bragging about how long he's been in business or what his credentials are for supervising elves and reindeer, St. Nick finds out what his prospects want, then gives it to them. Entrepreneurs need to stop worrying about how they appear on paper because frankly, no one cares. Your prospects want to know what you can do for them, not that you have years of experience or multiple degrees.
4. Give-to-get marketing works. Why is Santa Claus a household name? Because he has built his credibility and visibility on trust by giving, not getting. Stop thinking about how to get customers, and start thinking of what your customers' needs are and give it to them. You become the established expert and people always want to do business with an expert.
Start believing in Santa… After all, someone who has lasted for decades as an icon has got something going for him.. And then start using his techniques to make others believe in you too!
If you're looking for unique and innovative ideas to help attract more prospects, sell more products & services, and increase visibility & credibility, you need to connect with Shannon Cherry.

Smoking in Pregnancy May Be Tied to Bipolar Disorder in Adult Offspring: StudyHealthDay NewsOctober 3, 2013
Adult children of mothers who smoked during pregnancy may be at increased risk for developing bipolar disorder, a new study suggests. People born to mothers who smoked during pregnancy had a twofold increased risk of developing bipolar disorder. This is believed to be the first study to suggest an association between exposure to tobacco smoke in the womb and bipolar disorder.

Keywords: smoking, pregnancy, bipolar, disorder, adult, offspring, study
Recovery Month promotes the societal benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery for mental and substance use disorders, celebrates people in recovery, lauds the contributions of treatment and service providers, and promotes the message that recovery in all its forms is possible. Recovery Month spreads the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, that prevention works, treatment is effective and people can and do recover.

If we're lucky, most of us get one, maybe two years of white truffles and $150 bottles of Champagne on Valentine's Day before we settle into true love — and real life. (Actually, we're quite fond of shitakes and $10 Prosecco.) But occasionally, we all get that sentimental longing for a romantic dinner on Valentine's Day. Problem is, you pay a hefty premium for that steak tartare on one of the busiest restaurant nights of the year. Most of the swankiest Valentine's spots in town are offering pre-fixe dinners from $65 to $150 per person, and that's without wine. Our suggestions for a more pocketbook friendly romantic night out are below.
Cube will be closed as usual on Sunday, but the café is offering a fun Saturday night pre-Valentine's Day alternative. For $35 per person, early-bird romancers can dunk their hearts (sorry, couldn't resist) and house-made bread into Cube's cheese fondue, nibble on farmers' market vegetables and finish off the light supper with Meyer lemon coeurs à la crème. The shop's standard glass of Prosecco is included, as is a take-home box of candies and chocolate truffles to pull out on Sunday.
615 N. La Brea Ave., Hollywood, 323.939.1148, cubemarketplace.com . Special menu available Feb. 13th only.
If you're okay with sharing a communal table with other lovebirds, Ilan Hall is preparing a four-course yet-to-be-determined seasonal menu for $45 — including wine. It's such a bargain that we're happy to compensate for the occasional lackluster dish by bringing our own salt shaker to pull out in tune to the evening's live tunes.
501 S. Spring St., Downtown, 213.488.3408, thegorbalsla.com.
As Valentine's happens to be on a Sunday this year, we have the perfect excuse to forgo dinner for a less-expensive leisurely brunch. La Cachette in Santa Monica is offering an $85 dinner, but at $45, the special three-course brunch is a bargain (most Sundays, brunch is an à la carte affair). Take a bottle of bubbly (corkage is $15 for the first bottle) to enjoy with your eggs benedict on brioche with house-smoked salmon, and remember to pack a box of chocolates for an afternoon oceanview stroll through Palisades Park just across the street.
1733 Ocean Ave., Santa Monica, 310.470.4992, lacachettebistro.com.
Dining at Patina on Valentine's Day will set you back $125, not including wine. Hit one of Joachim Splichal's less-expensive offshoots, like Pentimento, to save a bundle. The LACMA-based restaurant has its own elegance and terrific fare. The $38 three-course Valentine's tasting menu will be served all day and includes diver scallop carpaccio with blood oranges, fennel and a citrus vinaigrette, as well as red-wine braised short ribs with brown butter roasted vegetables and pureed potatoes. You'll also receive a glass of sparkling wine, compliments of the house, though we suspect it isn't Veuve Cliquot.
Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 5905 Wilshire Blvd., Miracle Mile, 323.857.4761 patinagroup.com. Tasting menu served until 8 p.m.
The $45 three-course Valentine's Day tasting menu at this mod Manhattan Beach sushi lounge is a great alternative for those looking for that "night on the town" feel for half the price. Along with the bluefin toro and Japanese snapper are such non-seafood options as a Kobe beef filet with foie gras and Kurobuta pork, a relief for couples who have that perpetual land vs. sea debate.

Wave Treader generator attaches to offshore wind turbines, cranks out an additional 500KW
If thousands of wind turbines are to be installed offshore, might as well get the most out of them. That's what Green Ocean Energy was thinking when it created Wave Treader, a wave power generator that attaches to a turbine's base.
The wave motion moves two floats attached to the wind turbine, pumping hydraulics that generate 500 kilowatts of power. Then, that power is transmitted to shore through the same cable used by the wind turbine. Now that's efficient.
The company plans to build a prototype this year, and plans to offer the devices for sale in 2011. We like the idea of wave power, and this makes it even more appealing. While they're at it, maybe they could also put some solar panels aboard each of those floats, for a tree-hugging triple play.

Bad Kitty Eats TreeJanuary 10, 2008
I have a bad kitty. I used to have lots of indoor plants, but not anymore. Bad kitty chomps on them. The plants I do have indoors are now placed up high, out of his reach. Or they are plants he's tried and learned he doesn't like.
 He has one favorite that I'm constantly moving to keep out of his reach. Of course it is one of my oldest indoor plants, a Pachira aquatica bonsai. Last week he climbed on my desk in the middle of the night and ate each stem's top leaf and apical bud. Yes, he topped my tree! Plus, he chomped on many other leaves. I did a bit of trimming and gave it some tlc. By this week, it was showing signs of recovery. Then, last night, kitty was out for the tree kill.
At about 5am I woke to a crash. Twinky (the cat) had climbed into the kitchen sink and pulled the bonsai down from the windowsill above. The container broke, but the tree was somewhat intact. Today I'll be replanting it in a new container, which I have yet to purchase. (Maybe I can find something with 10′ tall legs.)
In addition to giving it fresh soil, I'll give the tree a treatment of mycorrhizae to help it thru its various recovery needs.  And, I'll be hiding the plant from him!
 Here is a list of plants that I've found my cat does not like:
- Jade (or anything Crassulaceae )
- Christmas cactus (tho he does chew on it sometimes)
- Orchids (so long as they aren't blooming)
- Tomato (yes, I have an indoor tomato that fruits all winter)
- Sundew (or anything sticky)
Here's a list of what he loves and has destroyed (besides my beloved bonsai):
- Begonia (doesn't matter what kind. He loves to sink his teeth into the leaves)
- Spider plants
- Ferns
- Norfolk Pines
- Christmas trees
- Grasses
Yes, he is an indoor cat. And, yes, he does get fresh wheatgrass quite often. But, for him, there's nothing like eating what he shouldn't…and then chucking it up later in the day!
Oh, and you may ask if I have I considered buying Dumbcane to see what will happen? The thought has crossed my mind, briefly in moments of anger, but I wouldn't dare!

i found out that if you sprinkle a little cayenne pepper on the plant it will prevent your cat from wanting to eat it .. and its safe for your plant … and you can also cut a bed of plastic needles and place it around the plant to prevent the cat from digging in the soil and climbing on the plant
