I became a member of gay.com today for no particular reason other than I was bored, and premium membership is free at the moment. And I've been a member of Gaydar for quite awhile. Flicking through the pages it got me thinking about the problem of promiscuity in the gay community, as it's one of the criticisms the right-wingers like to put out there.
The so-called community seems to be at odds with itself... On the one hand we seem to deny the fact that casual fucking is acceptable or practiced by the vast majority of gay people. Oh yes, we all love each other and we have happy relationships and we all want to get married to our soul mates. Pft. From my experience I would say the Elton John / David Furnish type relationship is much rarer than the slags out there. I might be gay and generally left wing, but whilst I don't judge others on their sexual practices, I can't help but sympathise with the criticism that there is too much sluttery in the gay community. The internet has infact highlighted this. Filling out a profile on a straight dating website asks your hobbies and interests. On a gay dating website, you end up specifying your dick size, whether you're a top or bottom, and how you like to be fucked. Oh, and your hobbies and interests too. I feel more obligated to explain my fetishes than I do to specify my name.
And then you go on to the profiles. Gay couples looking for group sex. 1-on-1 sex wanted now. Hot and horny up for a fuck. Blowjob Bill needing to get wet. Until I specified in my profile for people over 30 to not message me, I had almost daily messages being received by the over 40s wanting to meet up for a fuck.
And are these people actually gay? In trying to disassociate myself with these nymphomaniacs I've started to question whether a man sleeping with a man is actually what it means to be 'gay'. They seem incapable of a loving relationship, or if they have a boyfriend they want an open relationship or a threesome. Is that what it means to be gay? Sometimes I feel like an outcast of a bunch of outcasts!
So, does being gay mean you are a slut, or is it simply a natural result of widespread sexual oppression. I mean we can't behave normally, you hold hands in the street and you get looked at like you have two heads. So is it any wonder people don't feel like getting into a relationship but naturally have sexual urges, and these manifest themselves in cruising areas and online brothels. Just seems a bit too easy to blame it on society. I'm in the same boat as most other gays in the western world and I don't behave like that. That's not to say I'm a prude, or celibate, believe me. I just wish the young studs would stop all fucking each others best friends and having so-called "open relationships", and the old men would stop preying on people half their age. These actions have a more widespread negative effect on the rest of us.
Who am I kidding. Anyone up for a fuck? ;)
I think you are right, it is easy to blame society however there is a long multigenerational line of gay sexual oppression and I wonder if it all isn't just a natural evolution of behavior.
Fact is, there are just as many online sites for married men and women seeking sluttery on the web as there are gay guys. Maybe it is just a lax society that we live in.
I'd like to think that if gay people were given the same basic rights as straight people we would actually be the more conscientious of the two groups.
Gaydar works to a point but it would be much harder for me to pick you out of a crown in a restaurant and even more difficult to make a move on you in a straight environment. That is part of the reason for the gay bars, websites and other venues that gay people seem to have to resort to in finding a good mate.
Good observance though, it made me think about it.
There is a definiye reason for gays sluttish reputation. Cottaging is our invention, not straight people's.
I do think there is something about whatever makes us gay is more likely to make us sluttish as well. i have no idea what that reason is, but there will be something apart from the repression. Dutch gays are sluttish as well.
But yeah I'd love a fuck
"Sexual intercourse began in nineteen sixty-three (which was rather too late for me)"
Um, to be honest, while I don't like the fact that we are all labeled as sex maniacs, I'd like to remind people gently that there is nothing wrong with casual sex as long as both people are consenting and use protection. Like, I seriously hate being painted with the Gay=Sex brush. I don't like that. While I don't believe that gay=sex is a good message to send out, I wanna point out that there is nothing wrong with sex either, and we should be saying that too.
Guys are pretty confusing, and apparently drooling over them doesn't really break the ice...
It seems even worse for bi people, like we are nymphos or something.
....well...some of us are...
What worries me is that people assume that since we are bi we are incapable of having a relationship with one person. Lesbian friends of mine back of and say "oh, but I was warned about bi people, they will always dump you for a guy". Any relationship problems are blamed on a lack of gayness or a lack of straightness. Or even worse, straight guys react with threesome fantasies. (This is my mom's worst nightmare since I came out as bi, that every time I announce that I am bi, I am sending a signal to all the guys in the room to take advantage of me for some slutty joke).
I decided to take a peek in the closet.
What a suprise to find myself hiding inside!
You are 100% wrong on this front.
The main theme you seem to be overlooking is that you are judging all gay people based on SEX SITES. Those sites are meant for people who only want sex and I highly doubt that the majority of gay people go on the sites you're talking about.
Sure, some gay people are promiscuous. Some straight people are promiscuous too. If you want to get a more accurate representation of gay people go to sites that don't promote rampant sex. Need I remind you that there are plenty of sites out there for heterosexual sex?
To answer your question, being gay is the physical and mental capacity to love a member of the same sex.
- One Nation, Under Darkness, with liberty and justice for white, heterosexual, rich, Christian men
But they aren't sex sites, that's how the gay community has chosen to use them, or at least the majority. Gaydar quite openly accommodates the ability to make it clear that casual sex is not on the agenda, people just choose not to do that.
And one thing I do notice is that this site is not one which promotes sex, and yet out of 5 replies, 4 people seemingly agree with my post. That says something to me.
Furthermore, I'm not saying every single last gay guy is a complete slut. I didn't give it the title, "gay slags" I said "gay promiscuity" which isn't just a euphemism for the former it means all kinds of things that the right use against us as far as our sex lives are concerned. Not even relevant to the number of people you sleep with, but where you do it, and who you do it with. Random stranger in a park? Over a car bonnet? Group sex? That is all promiscuous behaviour, and what I'm asking is, is that more rife within the gay community and if so, why, and is it such a bad thing even if it is true?
I would also like to say that I'm well aware that heterosexuals are also promiscuous, I have plenty of straight friends who sleep around, or used to sleep around with just about anyone. One friend who identifies as bisexual slept with a different person every week, without fail. Indeed, it's people like her who give bisexuality a bad name but nevertheless she's very dear to my heart! But I'm not talking about straight people, I'm talking about gay people. Just because I question whether the accusations of the right actually hold any truth doesn't mean I'm negating the actions of heterosexuals. Don't doubt me in my passion for gay rights for a second but debate only exists if you at least attempt to tackle the views of the opposition and understand them, as much as that might be painful or annoying.
As for your definition of gay, I agree. That is what I would class as gay. So what "label" would be given to someone who seemingly just lives to have sex who happens to choose to sleep with men. This is why labels are useful you see. It's much easier to say "gay" than it is to say, "A nympho male who chooses to sleep with males." But then when there's such diversity within the label how can it all mean the same thing when people are at odds with each other?
"If we were to wake up some morning and find that everyone was the same race, creed and color, we would find some other cause for prejudice by noon."
- George Aiken
And then there are lovely sites like this one!!!!
Whatever I did, I didn't do it.
First of all, we start off with the notion that promiscuity is a "problem." That reminds me that the definition of a slut is someone who has more sex than you. :-)
I mean, straight guys don't sleep around more because straight women say no. Pure and simple. So, when you look at it from that perspective, gay men are following their natural biological inclination without the resistance of females. Put plainly, they do it because they can.
On Halloween weekend, I think it was. I was standing on the sidewalk, and a guy came out of The Bar, walked up to me and started kissing me, saying he wanted me to take him home. That was just it for him, he wanted me, so that was it, let's go...
Getting onto the other issue, which is the desire for more of an emotional connection, relationships, and all that, it is a bit too easy to think these are just two disparate camps. Lots of people fuck around a lot and then settle down, some people settle down and then realize they want to fuck around. So, it's all messy.
As for the differences between what they ask gay or straight people, well... these things can matter. Sexual incompatability is a huge reason to break up with someone, so if you're a bottom, why wouldn't you search for a top/versatile partner? While there are some exceptions, it's pretty safe to think a heterosexual guy is going to be the partner that penetrates and the female is penetrated, so why would they ask them that? Straight guys who wanted to be the bottom would go to a BDSM site.
There is never, and will never be a consensus on this. there are huge pockets of the community that oppose gay marriage.
I think this ties into our need to label ourselves, yet again. Why does the community have to be anything to fit any one person's needs? Sexuality is too broad a thing to have so many other characteristics ascribed to it.
The thing to do is find where you do fit in, learn how to find the people you want in your life, learn how to find the relationship that will satisfy you. As for everything else, learn to accept it. It isn't going away anytime soon.
Don't try and change the world, just your perspective on it. It is the only thing you control.
"Be like a postage stamp. Stick to one thing until you get there." -- Josh Billings.
Add me on MySpace!
AAs someone who has thought what you said for years, I have to applaud you.
I just got out of a 2 year relationship and while I know I have the guts, wit, and charm to be among my people, I don't like what I see.
Part of the reason, I loved who I was with was that he loved me...for me. He didn't come across like how so many gay men seem to be with games, shallowness, and outright attitude or a need to hurt guys just to hurt guys or all guys seem to think about was sex. I was in that world long before I met him, and I was a darker jaded person before him.
Now that it's over and he was really my first serious relationship, I'm not all gong-ho to get back into that world...and while most of that happened in Arkansas, it seems much worse here in California. Of course, I could play games and do it well and sleep with a new person every night, but that isn't what I want for endgame. However, do I want to wait forever for everyone to catch up because it seems like everyone wants no-string-sex or open relationships or threeways or AIDS parties or something that makes a person go...'uh...is anyone actually looking for a relationship that doesn't resemble co-dependency? If so, I'm game...in another six months.'
Column of the moment: 'The Rape, I never thought it would happen to me...'
i asked this question the other day to a gay friend, who is about 30 (it was a question in my interview for school with him.) he said that it just is, like he didn't have a reason. i said, "maybe because men are more sexually driven than women, so when it's ALL men its just crazy rooting all round." he had a laugh, but don't you think it makes sense?

Real-Time Modeling
John Nielsen-Gammon and Gerry Creager are running the MM5 and WRF models in real-time for high-resolution forecasts of Texas and the US coastal regions along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. The model is being used for air quality and coastal circulation forecasts.
Parameter Estimation
John Nielsen-Gammon and colleagues are using Ensemble Kalman Filtering as a tool to improve the parameterizations of mesoscale meteorological models. By allowing data assimilation to affect the parameters that control the behavior of a parameterization, the model can dynamically adjust its parameterization so that its forecast is more accurate.
Storm Structure and Baroclinicity
Courtney Schumacher is using disdrometer and radar measurements in Southeast Texas and mesoscale model output to determine the role environmental baroclinicity plays in storm microphysics and divergence profiles.
Organization and Motion of Heavy-Rain-Producing Convective Systems
Russ Schumacher uses observations and numerical models to understand the processes that lead to heavy rainfall. Organized clusters of thunderstorms, known as mesoscale convective systems, are often responsible for heavy rains, and the distribution of rainfall in these systems is determined by how they are organized and how fast they move. Observations (in particular, data from the WSR-88D radar network) and numerical simulations can be used to examine what causes some of these systems to move slowly and produce extreme rainfall in localized areas.
Forecast Skill and Uncertainty for Widespread Precipitation
Russ Schumacher uses ensemble forecast data to identify the relative skill (or lack thereof) and uncertainty in predictions of precipitation. In some meteorological situations, ensemble forecasts show high skill and low uncertainty in their predictions, but the opposite is true in other situations. This research aims to understand the large-scale meteorological conditions the lead to these differences.
Mesoscale Convective Systems
Russ Schumacher investigates mesoscale convective vortices: disturbances that develop from earlier clusters of thunderstorms, and which are difficult to predict and often affect the development of additional thunderstorms on following days. The processes that lead to the development and maintenance of these vortices, and their role in producing heavy rainfall, are subjects of current research.

5 Stocks Setting Up to Break Out
WINDERMERE, Fla. ( Stockpickr) -- U.S. stocks are dropping sharply today as the market deals with some serious rumors of a potential debt default for Greece that could happen over the weekend. This time the rumors actually have some validity since Greek credit default swaps are soaring to new highs. Many market observers fear that a Greece default could spiral out of control and lead to more details out of other PIIG nations such as Italy and Spain.
Recently the Dow Jones Industrial Average was plunging by over 325 points to 10,969, and the S&P 500 was off by 29 points to 1157. The tech-heavy Nasdaq was lower by 63 points at 2466.
Huge down days like today are a great time for market players to identify the sectors and stocks that are not being taken to the woodshed. If the bears can't knock a sector or stock down today, then it could mean there's an underlying bid that should be ignored. This is an easy way for traders to identify relative strength in the markets.

The most obvious strength today is coming out of the semiconductor sector. Semiconductor stocks trading higher today include Micron Technology (MU), Marvell Technology (MRVL), Entropic Communications (ENTR), Texas Instruments (TXN) and Novellus Systems (NVLS). These are just some of the names that warrant a deeper look, with an over-300-point drop on the Dow failing to push these lower. The top traders in the world know that markets are made up of thousands of stocks and tons of sectors. With so many moving parts, there's always some sector or stock that's acting strong and doing its own thing. Trading breakouts is not a new game on Wall Street. This strategy has been by legendary traders such as William O'Neal, Stan Weinstein and Nicolas Darvas. Here's a look at a number of stocks that look poised to break out and trade higher from current levels.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

It's in the fossil collection among the many different universities, museums, and other institutions involved in the anthropological field. Eventually it'll be discovered if the search widens.
Photographs by David Liitschwager, National Geographic
Published October 21, 2013
In the ranks of prehistoric humans, Neanderthals were our closest relatives.
We were so close, in fact, that our species interbred with theirs. Tracing back our lineages, there must have been a last common ancestor of Homo sapiens and Neanderthals sometime in prehistory. (Related: "Geno 2.0 Can Reveal How Neanderthal You Are.")
But who was this mystery human?
Picking out direct ancestors in the fossil record is tricky. To figure out when the last common ancestor of Homo sapiens and Neanderthals lived, paleoanthropologists have been sifting through both genetic and anatomical evidence.
In the last five years, anthropologists have used DNA to reconstruct the evolutionary history of humans. Researchers have suggested a range of dates for when the last common ancestor of our lineage and Neanderthals could have lived. (Related: "Last of the Neanderthals.")
The dates range from more than 800,000 years ago to less than 300,000, with many estimates in the neighborhood of 400,000 years ago. According to some studies, this time frame would seem to match that of the extinct species Homo heidelbergensis, which has been found in Africa, Europe, and possibly Asia.
But this may not be so. A new study theorizes that the last common ancestor of H. sapiens and Neanderthals lived longer ago than previously expected, with fossil evidence yet to be uncovered.
What's new?
In a study published on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, George Washington University anthropologist Aida Gómez-Robles and colleagues turned to teeth to test what had been gleaned from genetics.
Using a collection of 1,200 premolars and molars from a variety of prehistoric humans, the researchers pinpointed specific landmarks on the teeth. The landmarks were then used to reconstruct the tooth shapes of our common ancestors at critical points in evolutionary history.
The logic behind this method, Gómez-Robles says, is that "the most likely dental shape of an ancestral species is an intermediate shape between the one observed in both daughter species." In the case of H. sapiens and Neanderthals, the last common ancestor of both lineages would be expected to have teeth with a shape and anatomy in between those of the two species.
With that hypothetical shape in mind, Gómez-Robles and coauthors compared what was expected against fossils found so far.
"If a fossil species is very similar to the expected ancestral morphology, then that species is a plausible ancestor," Gómez-Robles says, though she stresses that such a match is a possibility rather than definite proof of ancestry.
Why is it important?
Estimates based on DNA show that the last common ancestor of H. sapiens and Neanderthals lived around 400,000 years ago. This made H. heidelbergensis, a widespread species alive at the time, seem like a good candidate for that ancestor.
The new study contradicts this idea. The tooth reconstruction of the last common ancestor of humans and Neanderthals created by Gómez-Robles and colleagues doesn't match the teeth of H. heidelbergensis.
In fact, the researchers found that none of the human species living during the time predicted by genetic data fit the tooth pattern generated by the new study. More than that, "European species that might be candidates show morphological affinities with Neanderthals," Gómez-Robles says, which hints that these humans were already on the Neanderthal side of the split.
This suggests that the last common ancestor of H. sapiens and Neanderthals lived sometime earlier, perhaps as far back as one million years ago.
What does it mean?
Paleoanthropologists have yet to find our last common ancestor with Neanderthals. Tracking this elusive human will require going back to museum collections and continuing searches in the field.
From the new study's results, Gómez-Robles says that "we think that candidates have to be looked for in Africa." At present, million-year-old fossils attributed to the prehistoric humans H. rhodesiensis and H. erectus look promising.
This critical window of human prehistory in Africa is still cloudy. "There are not so many African fossil remains dated to one million years ago," Gómez-Robles says, and those that have been found are often attributed to H. erectus.
But do they really belong to this species? There may be an as-yet-unknown human hiding in the mix, and this human may be key to solving the puzzle of when our ancestors split from Neanderthals.
Whether that species is waiting to be discovered in the field or is hiding within the broken and scattered remains of fossils already collected is a mystery waiting to be solved.

Series / Vector
For the month of January, I journeyed across Northern India. During that time, I experienced a myriad of experiences, drastically varied in nature. These artworks are the product of my experience... They represent five significant deities in the Hindu pantheon. Each artwork attempts to conceptually reduce the deities core components into a more understandable albeit abstract representation.
The artworks themselves were created initially by hand, utilizing a variety of media. Then, they were transferred to the computer and cleaned and embellished in Illustrator. The final works are vector based, with slight texture added in Photoshop. - ~ V I S H N U ~
Vishnu is one of the three principal Hindu deities. In Hinduism, taken generally, there is the idea that there are three forces that comprise all of existence. These three forces are creation, maintenance, and destruction. Vishnu is the embodiment of maintenance and is the central deity who upholds the balance of creation and destruction. - ~ S H I V A ~
Shiva is one of the most significant deities in the Hindu religion. Similar to Brahma, and Vishnu, he is considered one of the three principal deities that constitute all of creation. Shiva is a contradictory deity. He is believed to symbolize the destructive element of the universe. For many Hindus, this is not perceived as negative destruction, but instead destruction of personal sin, and universal evil. However, his meaning remains a paradox, and holds different significance depending on the individual worshipper. - ~ B R A H M A ~
Brahma is one of the three central deities in Hinduism who is thought of as the divine creator. However, unlike Shiva and Vishnu, the other two principle deities, Brahma is rarely worshipped throughout India. As such, there is a strange paradox for Hindus who believe in the creative power of Brahma but do not worship the deity in the same manner as other important deities. Indeed, much of the writing on Brahma attempts to suggest why Brahma is not worshipped. - ~ H A N U M A N ~
Although Hanuman is not a central deity in the Hindu pantheon, his presence is seen and felt across India. Hanuman, thought to be an incarnation of Shiva, is a monkey god. Hanuman is best known for his role in assisting Rama in the Ramayana. Hanuman is thought to represent the most loyal type of devotion to both the lord, and to human beings. At the same time, Hanuman is also worshipped for his deep understanding of the scriptures, which he is said to have mastered in 60 hours, and for his strength. During times of difficulty, Hindu's often pray to Hanuman through chanting and repeating his name. - ~ K A L I ~
Kali is a contradictory deity; she is thought to be both extremely malicious and universally compassionate. As such, Kali is particularly difficult for someone outside of the Indian culture to understand. However, there are certain aspects of Kali that are clearer than others. For example, she is savage in appearance, holding a human head in her hand, wearing a necklace of skulls, and usually standing on the body of her consort Shiva. Further, her eyes are almost always bright red, as is her exaggerated and dangling tongue that protrudes from her open mouth.

Drake (8-3) at IUPUI (4-11) The Sports Network DATE & TIME: Sunday, December 29, 2 p.m. (ET) FACTS & STATS: Site: IUPUI Gymnasium (1,215) -- Indianapolis, Indiana. Television: WRTV6, HTSN. Home Record: Drake 4-1, IUPUI 3-3. Away Record: Drake 2-1, IUPUI 1-6. Neutral Record: Drake 2-1, IUPUI 0-2. Conference Record: Drake 0-0, IUPUI 0-0. Series Record: IUPUI leads, 1-0. GAME NOTES: The IUPUI Jaguars hope a return home can put an end to their losing skid, as they are set to tangle with the Drake Bulldogs on Sunday afternoon in a non-conference clash at IUPUI Gymnasium. Drake has gotten off to a fast start this season, claiming wins in eight of its first 11 matchups. The Bulldogs fell into a mini funk earlier this month with back-to-back losses, but they have gotten back to their winning ways with two straight victories over Western Michigan (71-68) and Albany (71-63). As for IUPUI, it has not been as fortunate, as it has waded through its non- conference schedule with just four wins in 15 tries. The Jaguars appeared to have turned the corner in early December with three consecutive wins, but that proved to be a mirage, as they have since dropped four in a row, most recently at Southeast Missouri State on Dec. 23, 83-79 in overtime. The only previous meeting between these two squads came on Nov. 14, 2009, when IUPUI bested Drake, 88-82. The Bulldogs led their most recent game versus Albany virtually wire-to-wire, and even though they saw their advantage dwindle to just one point in the final five minutes, they managed to hold on by shooting 46.2 percent from the floor (including 10-of-19 from 3-point range). Richard Carter added to his outstanding season by scoring 26 points on 7-of-13 from the field and 8-of-9 from the free-throw line, although no one else scored in double figures. On the season, Drake has been impressive in all facets of the game, as it sports strong percentages from the field (.464), beyond the arc (.393) and the foul line (.741), while boasting positive margins in terms of scoring (+7.4), rebounding (+2.9) and turnovers (+1.4). Carter is one of the Missouri Valley Conference's most prolific scorers, pouring in 19.5 points per game. After missing the first eight games of the season, Jordan Daniels has returned to action to put up 13.7 points per game in three contests. IUPUI led SEMO for most its latest game, including by as much as 13 points midway through the second half. But after slowly losing control down the stretch and falling victim to a game-tying 3-pointer in the final minute of regulation, it could not regain momentum in the extra session. The squad was nearly perfect from the free-throw line (25-of-26) but had a less than impressive field-goal shooting performance (.406), and only two of its field goals came from 3-point range. Marcellus Barksdale (22 points, 12 rebounds) and Ian Chiles (20 points) both shined in the setback. Mitch Patton was also stellar with 16 points and 13 boards, while Khufu Najee came off the bench to score 12. The Jaguars typically aren't a strong offensive squad, as they shoot a mere 43.2 percent from the field for 69.2 points per game, 3.5 fewer points than they allow. Chiles (17.9 ppg), a 7-foot-2 center, defies big man stereotypes by grabbing just 4.1 rebounds per game and doing plenty of work from beyond the arc (21-of-72). Patton (12.0 ppg, 5.9 rpg), Najee (10.1 ppg) and Barksdale (8.3 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 1.3 bpg) are integral pieces to IUPUI's puzzle as well. Although the Jaguars have the homecourt advantage and have held their own at IUPUI Gymnasium this season (3-3), Drake has simply been the more impressive team and should be able to overcome its road surroundings to pick up its third straight win. Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Drake 78, IUPUI 70 12/29 10:33:09 ET |

Nike Roshe Run Slip-On – Black – White by Zack Schlemmer 0 Comments
May 29, 2013 BY Brendan Dunne / 2
For all the "Safari" styles about to hit on the Nike Roshe Run, there aren't really any colorways that adhere to the blocking of the original Nike Air Safari look from 1987. Proving that again is this challenge red colorway, which registers as one of the more eye popping ones what with the way that shade runs all the way down to the outsole. Then again, the whole notion of eye-popping Roshes has been totally revamped by the arrival of the shoe on NIKE iD. Get a full look at the shoes after the jump and grab the red Nike Roshe Run "Safari Pack" now from Afew.

I've been rolling this whole thing around in my head for the last month. Really a few months, since this was the threatened direction for the next Ghostbusters film. A film that I've been waiting for since 1989. I've wanted more Ghostbusters and now it's actually going to happen. I'm going to get what I wished for… but you know what they say… be careful what you wish for, you may actually get it.
About five and a half years ago, I even listed Paul Feig on a post about who should direct a third Ghostbusters film. I had found a list of potential directors on a couple of sites, and added Feig to the list, so in the words of Egon Spengler, "I blame myself." At the time, I said:
"Paul Feig is a director that was also the creator of the short lived, but brilliant show Freaks and Geeks. He's directed many of the funniest episodes of such shows as The Office and Arrested Development. His comedy style seems like it'd be a good fit for a new Ghostbusters, as he is able to capture the feel of the 80s so well in Freaks and Geeks, which wouldn't necessarily matter for a modern day GB film, but it would at least keep the overall feel of the series thus far intact. I wouldn't mind seeing his name attached to the helm."
What a difference five years makes. Feig has directed a bunch of movies that I've never seen. I've only seen about 20 minutes of Bridesmaids, and didn't enjoy it. And now Feig loves working with women. There's nothing wrong with that. Nothing at all. The problem lies in the makeup of the team. If Feig had said that he was continuing the story with a new team that would include women, I wouldn't have a problem with that. Over the years there have been many women that have been on the team. Having a team with at least one guy opens up the property so that boys and girls alike can watch and enjoy it, and see someone that they could dream that they might one day grow up to become. Seeing someone of your own gender in a role gives you something to aspire to.
What are Paul Feig's plans? Read the rest of this entry »
IDW Publishing announced this week that the end has come for the Ghostbusters comic book that has delivered excellent content for the better part of three years. I'm very proud of the team that created it. It brought back the feel of the movies and the cartoons at the same time, while delivering great new adventures on a monthly basis.
I have hope that one day, IDW will bring this great team back together for another go-round. It's the reason I started reading comics again. I've bought at least two copies of every single issue, and gotten many issues graded (now I could do the rest of the series, knowing there's an end in sight). I've also got them all digital (all released so far), and I've been planning to get the Total Containment book version, and hoped to get a volume 2 with the next part. Hope that's still a possibility.
My thoughts are somewhat complex as to why this happened. I know that it was a tough decision by those involved, but it seems to me that there might be larger reasons in play for this. This announcement comes mere weeks before Comic-Con. The Ghostbusters 30th anniversary is afoot. There may well be some pretty big announcements on the way from Sony, regarding the long awaited third Ghostbusters movie. There may even be other Ghostbusters media announcements, like a new cartoon, toy line, and other things.
Either way, I can't say I didn't do my part to support this comic book, and I hope that you pick up some issues in this great series. I don't think you'll be disappointed that you did. It's been a fun ride, and it will be bittersweet when the final issue arrives in my mailbox, but I can always go back and read them all over again.
I have a decent collection of movies and television shows on Blu-ray and DVD. It's something that most of my friends know, and they often ask me what movies are out that are worth seeing, among other similar questions. One thing that some of the more tech savvy friends of mine ask me is, why do you keep buying movies when there is streaming, and that "has everything?"
Shout Factory put together this list of five reasons, and I'm going to do my own elaboration on each point, because I agree. There are a lot of good reasons as to why, but not the least of which is the fact that streaming doesn't have everything. With that, let's jump into the list:
The long awaited Justice League film is happening, and it's happening sooner than most thought it would. Zack Snyder masterfully directed Man of Steel, which was my favorite Superman movie so-far. His upcoming sequel, currently under the working title Batman vs. Superman, is ramping up production, and has already been filming in various locations. Costume tests have been done, showing Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman in costume together.
And now, it's been announced that Zack Snyder will also be directing Justice League.
A little over a year ago, I wrote an article called "What the New Star Wars Trilogy means for the Expanded Universe." At the time I said that the current Expanded Universe is now part of an alternate timeline, and it turns out that I got that absolutely right.
StarWars.com just reported about what the new Star Wars EU is going to be like, as well as what's happening to the current EU. Here's the simple explanation:
All current parts of the Expanded Universe will continue to be published as long as the demand for the content is there, under the title "Legends." Any content that was made for film or TV is considered to be canon. Creators of future stories in the newly defined canon are allowed to use ideas and content from the Legends Universe, whenever appropriate.
For the first time in the history of these characters, we'll be seeing Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman together on the big screen. And we'll be seeing them all in costume. If there's an image that could top seeing the Avengers together for the first time, it's this one.
Remember that, prior to Iron Man's release in 2008, The Avengers and the characters that make up the team (including Captain America and Thor) were considered Marvel's B-team by the general public. It wasn't until Robert Downey Jr., a team up between screenwriters and comic book writers, and a risky plan, that these three characters became the household names they only were to those that managed to open a comic book. At Christmas, I was asked by a cousin who'd never seen Captain America or Avengers why Cap was a good character at all. This same cousin wouldn't question Batman.
Zack Snyder recently spoke with Forbes about the upcoming sequel to Man of Steel, and he described some test photos that were done recently. It confirms that we'll see all three characters in costume. It doesn't confirm that we'll see them all together, but it's now a possibility.

JOHN BEGNAUD: Salvias add low water-use color
SAN ANGELO, Texas - The many shades of green are a welcome sight this summer following the recent rains. Summer flowering perennials are once again adding their many colors to the landscape palette. Those perennial plants that can tolerate summer heat in excess of 100 degrees with minimal water and still survive to put on a show are in demand.
Salvias are a group of plants of varying sizes, shapes and colors that perform well in our arid area. A few proven selections include snow hill meadow sage. This white spiked long bloomer can take full sun to part shade and can mound to 2 feet wide and 2 feet tall in our area. Butterflies and hummers are attracted to this drought-hardy perennial.
Another favorite tough salvia is May night meadow sage. This deep purple bloomer matches the size and bloom time of snow hill and is a good complement when the two are planted together in landscape beds and borders.
The Texas native mealycup sage, salvia farinacea, is in bloom in pastures across our area. Sometimes known as poor man's bluebonnet, this tough perennial has a few propagated selections that offer the grayish foliage and deep blue flowers. These include Henry Duelberg and Victoria blue. This drought-hardy summer blooming sage will grow to 18 inches in height and can tolerate full to partial sun.
A late summer or early fall, purple bloomer is the Mexican native salvia leucantha, Mexican bush sage. This shrubby, low water-use perennial can grow to 3 feet wide and tall and prefers full sun. Migrating butterflies and hummingbirds as well as bees are attracted to the long-lasting flowers. Avoid pruning this salvia until blooms have faded.
These are just a few of the many salvia that will perform well for us in our water conservation landscapes. Remember that these salvia can be planted in groups for a larger visual impact and adequate food source for landscape wildlife. Unlike most shrubs, we can prune most of them anytime we think their growth habit becomes unsightly. Summer grooming can promote a quick rebloom.
When using perennials for landscape color, remember these basic guidelines:
Red, yellow and orange colors appear hot and are more visible from longer distances.
Pastel colors such as pink, light purple and white are cooler colors best viewed from up close.
Grouping colors in mass plantings can establish a more dramatic effect.
A major water conservation management tool for shrub and perennial plantings is to make sure no bare soil is visible by maintaining an adequate mulch layer. Water evaporation from bare soil is one of the greatest inefficiencies of landscape irrigation.
Mulches can be organic, such as bark chip and plant fiber, or they can be inorganic, such as rock used in xeric yards. Many xeric rocked landscapes could be improved with the use of some colorful and adapted perennials such as the salvias.

7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Tara Sutherland v. Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
U.S. District Court, Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division, Judge William T. Lawrence.
Civil. Affirms summary judgment in favor of Wal-Mart on Sutherland's hostile work environment and negligent infliction
of emotional distress claims. She did not present evidence that would allow a jury to conclude Wal-Mart is liable for the
assault committed against her by Aguas.
7th Circuit Court of Appeals
v. James K. Taylor
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division, Judge Robert L. Miller Jr.
Criminal. Affirms sentenced for 64 months' imprisonment following a guilty plea to possession of a firearm in violation
of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). The sentence was based in part on the District Court's conclusion that his prior Indiana
conviction for Class C felony battery qualified as a "crime of violence" under § 4B1.2(a) of the federal
sentencing guidelines, enhancing his recommended base offense level. Taylor argued his battery conviction was not a crime
of violence for the purposes of the federal sentencing guidelines.
Indiana Court of Appeals
Richard Childress Jr. v. State of Indiana
Criminal. Affirms convictions of robbery and criminal confinement, both Class B felonies. On appeal, appellant-defendant
raised the sole issue of whether the trial court erred in admitting evidence the state did not disclose until the second day
of trial. Court of Appeals concluded the state's late disclosure did not impair his right to a fair trial.
7th Circuit Court of Appeals
v. Kevin Dortch
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Hammond Division, Judge Rudy Lozano
Criminal. Affirms statutory maximum of 240 months imprisonment for Dortch, who pled guilty and only appealed his sentence.
After robbing a bank that was located inside a drugstore in Munster, he led police on two high-speed chases through the nearby
residential neighborhoods. At issue was whether enough evidence was presented regarding an officer's hospital visit
following the car chase to show "serious bodily injury."
7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Homes LLC and Beazer Homes Investments LLC v. Ohio Casualty Insurance Company and Cincinnati Insurance Company
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division, Judge Sarah Evans Barker
Civil. Reverses District Court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the insurers on the homebuilders' suit
alleging breach of contract and seeking a declaration that all of the insurers had a duty to provide coverage. The precedential
landscape has changed regarding the claim against Ohio Casualty. Remands for reconsideration in light of Sheehan.
7th Circuit Court of Appeals
States of America v. Lawrence Taylor
U.S. District Court, Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division, Judge Robert L. Miller Jr.
Criminal. Affirms Taylor's sentences for bank robbery and for violating terms of his supervised release relating to
an earlier bank robbery conviction, but orders a limited remand. The District Court erred by treating the policy statement
recommendation in U.S.S.G. Section 7B1.3(f) as mandating consecutive sentencing for Taylor's 2008 bank robbery case
and his supervised release case.

Burton SLX replacement lacing
I broke one of the lower speed zone lacing sections on my Burton SLX boots late last season and need to get it replaced. I don't feel like taking the time to send it in to Burton and figured I could replace it myself. Where would be the best place to source the lacing?

Those laces are typically proprietary to each manufacturer. It's not usually something you can go to your local mountaineering shop and get the same millimeter accessory cord for. Your best bet is going to be to contact Burton and ask them to send replacement laces to you. It shouldn't take long if you can get a hold of them. It's definitely something you don't need to send the boot in for warranty repair. From what I understand you are better off calling Burton than emailing them.

Richard Bates - Newcastle must spend big to avoid second season syndrome
Published: 11 Apr 2011 - 15:10:28
With only six or so games remaining in the Premier League season, Newcastle United sit ninth in the table on 39 points - it's safe to say they're going to retain their top-flight status. Already looking ahead to the next campaign, manager Alan Pardew has spoken about the danger of second season syndrome kicking in, something he suffered from during his tenure at West Ham United.
When glancing at the squad Pardew named for the game against Aston Villa yesterday, you'd have to admit he has every right to be concerned. For the Magpies, it's been an impressive return to the top flight - though not a straightforward one.
Chris Hughton's departure at the beginning of December raised eyebrows to say the very least. Not only had he led Newcastle to mid-table following notable victories over the likes of Arsenal, Aston Villa and Sunderland, but he had managed to bring dignity, and a steadiness, to what was a troubled club.
Controversial owner Mike Ashley put all of that in jeopardy with Hughton's dismissal. Thankfully for the Toon Army, Pardew has managed to keep them on the right track, maintaining a decent run of league form and preserving the team spirit previously established.
A few weeks ago, Derek Llambias, Newcastle's managing director, revealed that Ashley expects the club to be challenging for European qualification season after season. If they are to avoid a relegation scrap next year, let alone meet those expectations, it is vital they back Pardew with the necessary funds to add depth - and quality - to his slender, yet talented squad.
Since Andy Carroll's sale just before the January transfer window closed, doubts have been raised over how much of the fee will actually be reinvested in the squad. Everybody is fully aware that Ashley is not a football man; it's just plain business as far as he is concerned.
While Carroll was Newcastle's prize asset, the temptation is there for Ashley to make a sound return on other players too. The performances of Cheik Tiote, Jonas Gutierrez, Fabricio Coliccini and Kevin Nolan will certainly see enquiries made about their services this summer. Retaining the aforementioned players, as well as tying down Jose Enrique and Joey Barton to new long-term deals, is crucial.
To make progress, they must add to what they already have. Yesterday's match at Villa Park was proof of that. Missing a host of first-team players, Pardew was forced to play Coliccini out of position, employ a strikeforce of Peter Lovenkrands and Niall Ranger, and name a substitutes bench made up of mostly inexperienced youth.
When stretched, the team looks weak. At the end of March, speaking quite candidly about Ashley and his running of the club, Pardew admitted that if he were a fan, he wouldn't be 'jumping up and down' about the owner. Last week, he credited Ashley for keeping on Newcastle's big names when they sank into the Championship back in 2009.
Pardew's openness is admirable, and it is quite clear that Ashley likes the way the manager works. It is crucial that Pardew capitalises on the solid relationship he shares with Ashley to convince him the £35m received for Carroll has to be spent on fresh blood. If not, Newcastle could find themselves in real problems come next season.

CPR Guidelines
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is still the leading cause of death in the United States and Canada. Approximately 330,000 people die in the United States each year from coronary heart disease. When the heart stops beating during cardiac arrest, the brain starts to die within 5 minutes and is certain to be completely dead in 10 minutes. Some victims can last longer due to hypothermia from a cold water drowning or when a bystander is doing Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). CPR keeps oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and heart and can keep the victims brain alive longer than 10 minutes. CPR is a combination of chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth ventilations performed by a bystander until medical help arrives. The proper rate and ratio has been studied by the American Heart Association (AHA) for years. Recently, the AHA made some changes to the procedures that are already helping increase survival rates.
Performing CPR alone is not usually what saves most victims. It takes a chain of events to help improve survival. The first link of the chain is early access to call 911 or the Emergency Medical Service in your area. The second link is to start early CPR without interruption. Third is early defibrillation from Public Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). The fourth link is Early Advanced Life Support by EMTs or Paramedics who can provide specific medications to help revive a victim. This chain of events now includes a fifth link which is, integrated post cardiac arrest care.
Getting someone to perform CPR is a challenge because people are afraid of diseases and law suits if they do something wrong. Most states have enacted Good Samaritan Laws to encourage people to help others in emergency situations. These laws give legal protection to people who provide emergency care to ill or injured persons. They require that the Good Samaritan use common sense and a reasonable level of skill not to exceed the scope of the individual's training in emergency situations.
These guidelines require faster, harder and more chest compressions with less interruption for ventilations. Basically, the more someone pushes on the chest, the better off the patient is, according to Dr. Michael Sayre of Ohio State University Emergency Medicine who helped develop these guidelines for the American Heart Association. The streamlined guidelines should make it easier for people to learn CPR. The ratio is 30 compressions to 2 breaths for all victims, regardless of age, at a rate of 100 compressions per minute until help arrives with a defibrillator or the victim starts breathing.
After finding an adult victim unresponsive, first call 911, follow these four steps.
- Check victim for unresponsiveness and breathing (by tilting the victims' head back)
- Call for help and an AED (or send someone else if available)
- Perform 30 chest compressions (with the heel of one hand in the middle of the victims' chest and the other hand on top of the first pushing at least 2 inches deep at a rate of 100/min.)
- Give 2 quick breaths (into the victims' mouth with their head tilted back and then back to 30 compressions) Or Continue chest compressions only with the head tilted back until help arrives.
For children (ages 1 to 8), compress the heel of one hand in the same location as the adult. For infants (age under 1), compress two fingers of one hand in the same location as the adult.
There is no need to check for a pulse or circulation if a person is not breathing or moving, just start CPR.
AEDs can double the chance of survival if they're used within the first 5 minutes. CPR should be performed for 2 minutes or 200 compressions before an AED is used. CPR should be immediately restarted for 2 more minutes after each shock or analysis of the heart's rhythm from the defibrillator. AEDs can also be used on children between the ages of 1 and 8 if the appropriate pediatric pads are used. AED users are also covered under the Good Samaritan Law.
Previous CPR Guidelines | 2010 CPR Guidelines |
15 chest compressions / 2 breaths 4 sets of 15:2 | 30 chest compressions / 2 breaths 5 sets of 30:2 |
1 minute or 100 compressions and then reassess | 2 minutes or 200 compressions and then reassess |
AED performed 3 shocks back to back and then start CPR for 1 minute | AED performs 1 shock and then start CPR for 2 minutes |
Hand placement was just above the xyphoid process. | Hand placement is between the nipples. |
** Rescue breathing and choking obstruction is the same for both CPR Guidelines. |
Many people fear CPR because of the risk of contracting a virus or disease when performing mouth-to-mouth. Even though the risk is minimal, special plastic barrier devices can help prevent contact with the victims mouth. If the bystander doesn't have a barrier available at the time and doesn't want to perform mouth-to-mouth, then it is recommended to at least perform continuous chest compressions with the airway open for passive ventilation. Remember, that any CPR is better than doing nothing.
Another option to CPR that is gaining popularity due to its ease and success rate is Continuous Chest Compression CPR (CCC CPR). CCC CPR uses chest compression at 100 compressions per minute with no mouth to mouth contact. This technique keeps the blood flowing uninterrupted, unlike the 2 ventilations required in standard CPR. It also removes the fear of contracting a virus or disease while performing CPR, the reason most onlookers hesitate to perform CPR. Although it is becoming more common in use, CCC CPR has not been endorsed by the AHA at this time.
Q. | Can I contract a disease by performing mouth to mouth? | |
A. | Yes. You could contract a disease from doing mouth to mouth; however, the risk is very minimal. The chances are only about .4% because you have to come in direct contact of the victim's blood or introduce certain bodily fluids into your bloodstream from an open cut or mucous membranes. There are special mouth-to-mask barriers (available through Grainger) to help eliminate direct contact of the victim's mouth. Also, if you don't have a mask with you, the American Heart Association advises doing compression-only CPR, which is better than doing nothing at all. | |
Q. | Can I be sued if I do something wrong while performing CPR? | |
A. | No. You cannot be sued for acting as a reasonable and prudent person would under an emergency situation because you are protected under the Good Samaritan Law. | |
Q. | If I'm alone with someone who collapses, when do I call 911? | |
A. | If the adult victim just collapsed, 911 should be called as soon as possible. If the victim was an unwitnessed collapse or is less than 8 years old, you should do 2 minutes of CPR and then call 911. | |
Q. | If I'm certified in CPR, do I have to do it when I come across a victim? | |
A. | No, you do not have to do CPR, even if you are certified, if you feel there is a safety issue with blood or other infectious fluids. However, if you are a health care professional that is on duty, then you would have to perform CPR because you have a Duty to Act. Also, remember that if you don't do CPR, the victim will be completely brain dead in 10 minutes; therefore, any CPR is better than no CPR. |
