A backhanded insult to feminism, Ladykillers features Marilu Henner as a ballsy police detective whose hunky boyfriend/lieutenant (Melrose Place's Thomas Calabro) goes undercover at a male strip club to find a sadistic killer.
This made-for-TV clunker from 1988 never came out on DVD, and VHS copies are rarer than a chest hair on Matt Bomer. An episode of Murder She Wrote has more erotic tension, but Calabro was quite fetching in a g-string. (Apologies for the lousy image quality—take our word for it, he was fine.) Campy turns by Susan Blakely and Lesley-Anne Down (as the delightfully named "Morganna Ross") are just icing on a big slab of beefcake.
Queerty FAILS again. Louise Lasser had nothing to do with One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. That was Louise Fletcher. Louise Lasser was "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman".
And, the costume worn bu Thomas Calabrio was not a G-String, it was a speedo-type of undergarment. Look at your own picture, his ass isn't hanging out. It's covered by the full back of the garment, there is no "string" up his butt.
Does anyone read any of your articles for accuracy before just throwing them up on the web site?
How could any gay man confuse Fletcher and Lasser? Sexuality fail.
@Nick: My guess would be that they were simply born after 1960.
Magic Mike is completely NOT gay-friendly. There is no male homosexuality at all except for some passing reference. There is no male-male relationship or sexuality – nothing.
However, the director Steven Soderbergh – in what appears to be your typical liberal homophobic double standard way – includes a scene where a man and woman have had sex with a woman and enjoyed it. Imagine if it were the other way around, with a man and woman saying they enjoyed having sex with a man! Wouldn't get past Hollywood's selective homophobes.
Don't got and see it. It is NOT gay-friendly in the slightest.
I remember watching "For Ladies Only" with my oldest sister when it first aired. How gay is that?
And of course, "One Night In Heaven" was my first taste of male nudity on late night TV. Thank you CityTV! It was breathtaking! I wish I still had that tape.
I'm sure in 30 years, a new generation of gay men will be sitting around laughing at "Magic Mike".
Agreed with what you wrote. For all claims that gays control Hollywood, I haven't found it any less anti-gay than the rest of America. And considering how many studio heads donated money to Meg Whitman's California office bid, it's safe to say that the people who really run Hollywood are as anti-gay as any flyover state bigot.
Apparently the Queerty str8t girl just couldn't get one more post in hyping Magic Mike. Can't wait to see the box office numbers come Sunday, FAIL!
Shout out to the first post referencing the Queerty Fail! Love it!
@Mr. Enemabag Jones: Around the time of the 1995 release of the film version of "Jeffrey," play and screenwriter Paul Rudnick gave an interview to Movieline magazine (when, alas, it still was a magazine). Among other things, Rudnick ruminated on the rampant internalized homophobia of Hollywood, likening it to the self-loathing and fear of the Jewish film moguls of the Golden (and deeply anti-Semitic) Era. (Unfortunately the Rudnick article doesn't seem to have been posted online, or at least I haven't yet found a link to it.) Rudnick's observations are nearly two decades old, yet it does seem that fear and acquiescence continue to rule mainstream moviemaking.
yall forgot the 1999 movie "Trick"
I remember the nudity in One night in Heaven as well on late night Canadian Tv. its funny that tv here back then did not have any problems showing Penises. I remember when CBC would show penises at 7 pm.
Yep! Showcase was also a great venue for male nudity. What happened?
Great comment, LadyL. There really does seem to be a "don't rock the boat" mentality among Hollywood gays.
@Mr. Enemabag Jones: Very true. Common knowledge that studio execs are still very homophobic, though most everyone else in Hollywood is supportive.
Side note, I feel like one of the few that has no desire to see Magic Mike. Not when it was announced and not now. Have fun y'all…
Well my hubby and I will be going tomorrow and expect to enjoy this movie a lot. The New York Times gives it a great review.
I am not sure how a movie about straight guys stripping in front of women is anti-gay; and yes, I know many male strippers at women's bars are gay, so I'll wait to see if and how they tackle it.
Way too many of you act as though this is the one and only movie opportunity to make some sort of statement of gay life; its just a movie , though, and its intention is to provide a couple of hours of almost naked hot guys. You'll making much ado about nothing.
You forgot Perfect, with John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis. There's a scene where John Travolta goes to a Chippendales club for a Rolling Stone article, and they keep him sequestered from the ladies like a cloistered nun because they can't have gayness at a male strip club.
@Mr. Enemabag Jones:
One night in heaven with Christofer Atkins is a very memorable movie. Great song too!
Here's a download if your interested.
Trick was a really cute film.
Does anyone remember the sweeps episode of CHiPs with the stripper cop who looked like Ponch?
I don't get the dissing of The Full Monty cast. Yes, the guys aren't models, but that's the whole point. They are just ordinary guys, hard up and out of work. At least Queerty got it right in saying its a great movie, because it is. It wouldn't have worked had the guys all been super buff and toned.
Maybe I haven't been following this Magic Mike story closely enough, but I'm really not getting some of the hostility I've seen. It's not "gay-friendly", there's no "gay content"? My impression is that it's a movie about male strippers who perform for heterosexual women–why would anyone expect gay "content" or think it's homophobic that there isn't any?
I must say, for entertainment "news," I'm constantly baffled by the numerous errors on this website. I am an entertainment reporter and the first order is to do your research and fact-check, unless you're Fox News, which in that case, those requirements are all thrown out the window.
C'mon, Queerty! If you want to be taken seriously, get your act together. BTW – Are all the writers and editors in their teens and early twenties? I feel as these articles are school reports more than actual journalism.
@Carl 1: Besides, I personally think Mark Addy is kinda hot myself. Woof.:)
Many of the people who comment here are either 12 or not very bright. Or both. Equating the absence gay content with not gay friendly is sometimes what passes for logic around here.
"Mike" has also received great reviews in The Washington Post, USA Today, The Hollywood Reporter and at McClatchy.
As I stated on the last "Mike" post, I believe this film will make serious money (even if they have to count the overseas take) I'll be looking forward the numbers as soon as they are released. Um, Spike, for you I'll saute some fresh crow. And you might want to read my response to your thoughts on Soderbergh.
Queerty managed to find all the white stripper movies, the best strangely being Summer School and A Night in Heaven. I recommend Lino Brocka's Macho Dancer, Burlesk King, and Midnight Dancers for starters.
I've got Ladykillers on DVD. You can find it online if you search hard enough…that movie convinced me of my gayity.
Anyone know where you can get "For Ladies Only" on DVD? Many thanks.
@bruce: Get a grip. It IS a chick flick. We do not need two characters to be gay , fall in love, run off to Iowa to get gay married, travel to China to adopt a baby daughter, and live happy-ever-after…….just so we have a reason to justify watching a film.
Matt Bomer not Matt Bomber … SERIOUSLY ?!?!?!!!!
The incorrect spelling, the incorrect grammar, the incorrect facts, etc., are just overwhelming on this site. It's ironic that I received an email from Queerty.com today to support them. Their final sentence was, "So help us bring you even more agenda-free news, entertainment and snark." Please. I would vote for them if they could hire some real journalists and give the site a complete overhaul. I really do wonder what the median age is that is employed by this site.
@ken: Ah but "Trick" is a genuinely GAY stripper movie.
And truly wonderful
What about Alex Rodriguez from CSI Miami? He is not invisible in the movie
@Chuck: Alex Rodriguez is a baseball player. You're thinking of Adam Rodriguez.
@bruce: As long as there are hot men showing skin it's gay-friendly. Not every movie has to have a gay relationship. Most of the strippers who do it for women are straight anyway. Ebert likes the movie. That's good enough for me.
@bruce: Ok, first of all, just because a movie includes heterosexual sex, that doesn't make it not gay friendly, that's an idiotic thing to say.
What are all the haters of this movie saying now that it has an 80% rating on rotten tomatoes, had great pre sales, and the tracking for the weekend is excellent. Still gonna keep up with what a hateful fail this movie is?
Why on earth was Magic Mike promoted on gay websites? There was nothing gay-friendly about it! No sensuality between any of the men, no relationships between any of the men…it was a completely gay-free zone.
Save your money and go see another movie. Magic Mike is far from gay-friendly.
The funny thing is that there is more female nudity than male nudity in Magic Mike. The male stripping scenes are extremely brief and often darkly-lit. It's as if Steven the director, Steven Soderbergh, was unwilling to have his movie appeal to gay men to any great degree.
It's as if he and his producers got together and just added different components according to a check-list with the over-riding requirement of "don't make it too appealing to gay men".
Overall, incredibly disappointing.
I wasn't expecting a huge gay or bisexual male theme but it would have been nice if the director had added a nice sub-plot about gay or bisexual men. I personally know 4 men who strip for women and 3 of them call themselves bisexual. Magic Mike would have you believe there are no gay or bisexual men in the business.
The whole movie just has that air of hypocrisy about it. A friend of mine who went to see Ted says that Ted is funny and gay-friendly, albeit coarse. I think I should have gone to see Ted instead.
I don't know if Magic Mike is homophobic but it looks to be just another movie about straight guys scoring chicks with about 3 minutes of male stripping scenes thrown in.
@Stewart: Again, gay friendly does not mean that there is gay content in the movie, any more than a gay friendly hotel has pictures of naked men in the rooms, as compared to an actual gay guest house, which just might. it simply means that there is content that some segment of the gay population may enjoy. Period.
@ken: Trick is one of my favorite films ever. :)
@Bryan James: agree macho dancer was very good
How many men and youngsters will tak steroids to gt a sexy body especially actors who use them to enhance themselves for a part in a movie or tv show. mostly it is the producers as they want them to look attractiv no fat ugly or hair as they never can get a women to love them so they have to go without for the rest of their lives. Women love to yelly whistle and scream at the good looking guys with e nice body and god looks but when a guy is ugly he gets verbal and physical bused for it.
The reason Magic Mike is not gay friendly is not that there's an absence of any gay material– there IS actually a scene involving gayness, it's just that the scene is one of Hollywood's typical "gay panic is hiii-larious" scenes, where one of the stripper's sisters freaks out because she thinks her brother might be gay (because he's shaving his legs, etc.). She refers to it in that scene BTW as "sexual preference."
So why "Magic Mike" is not gay friendly is because if the director/producers etc. were absolutely determined to make this a film that didn't include even any small gay subplot, character, etc., then why didn't they also exclude yet another of Hollywood's umpty-millionth "ohmigod this guy might be gay" jokes?
They're NOT pretending that gays don't exist in the male stripper world, they're just suggesting that if the idea that someone might be gay surfaces, it's inherently hilarious. It's 2012, so I'd say if you're gonna include yet another joke of this type– particularly in a movie that's specifically about male sexuality– you damn well better at least also include some other scene that balances it in some way, or, yeah, you have a distinctly "gay unfriendly" film.
"A Night in Heaven" bombed at the box office and was a critical flop, but Chris Adkins by then had a gay cult based on his quiet, boy-next-door manner, his charm, and his good looks: he was introduced to us by an out gay filmmaker in the film, "The Blue Lagoon," where he appeared throughout either nude or semi-nude, and by the time he made "Heaven," his body had matured to perfection, if he was not much more sure of himself as an actor. He was Brad Pitt before Brad made "Thelma and Louise." But he was somehow more "wholesome" and would never have done the Pitt snicker. Chris Adkins was hot.
@James M. Martin: As such a fan, I would think in all your research you would have realized that his name is Christopher Atkins, not Adkins…as you misstated several times.
@Geo: Isn't it time we maybe stopped looking for things to be offended by. Right now politicians are desperately trying to take away our rights, 40% of homeless youth are lgbt, and many communities don't protect any of our rights. And you spend your time trying to find a single line in a stripper movie to take offense.
It's a movie, the people are characters, people who are homophobic exist, portraying them in a movie is not a homophobic act. The way the sister reacted was in CHARACTER, it was not a political statement.
There is nothing not gay friendly about this movie, unless you watch it determined to find something at which to be offended.
Just again from new zealand – we have a television soap opera in new zealand Shortland street a few years ago the actor Tim alme was in th programme playing Greg Feney a whil after he appeared in it – A woman wrote into our tv guide and said he was ugly and oozes
with slim. But in real life he actually is married with two children to actress Katie Wolfe and also has an older son by a previous relationship. We do have gay actors in new zealand ad gay famouse people who appeared on tv and movies but they keep it secret perhaps our two well known gay people are tamati Coffey who is gay and marrid another man. also David Hartnell who writes about hollywood trivia and has met many well known celebrities like Phyliss Diller who must be well into her 90's.
@Spike: Well as of right now it is projected to be #2 with an opening weekend of 43 million….are you going to try to spin that into a fail?
@Carl 1: A-Men! I liked the entire group who stripped in the Full Monty and would gladly find some bills for any of them!
"why do they call you horse?"
"…………. Gentlemen, the lunch box has landed."
I will not pay to see this homophobic male stripper film. This is a bullshit film about the male stripper scene and is too clean – the real deal is male strippers are hustlers and they fuck around with men too. They do side jobs on the side with men to take care of their needs and wants. Men pay more than women…
Considering how Channing Tatum made it to the top in Hollywood – rumors has it he had some top hollywood men in bed that's how his rise to fame happened. Always Hollywood sugar coating everything when Hollywood has the biggest Hollywood male stars sucking cock to get to fame. DONT WATCH THIS SHIT this is crap.
BTW, Regarding "Voting for Queerty", since the Comments have been DISABLED! I'll Totally vote for ya guys. But there's 1 catch! You've got to give us a "View All" button for the string of pix you post!
What's with the hate for Full Monty? I love Queerty as the 'idiotic comic relief' in my LGBT News section of Google Reader, but the body shame has got to stop. Bullying is a major part in gay teen suicide, but I remember when I was a suicidal gay teen and most of what I was tormented by wasn't the bullying from homophobes (although in SW Virginia, it was omnipresent and stifling) but the body-shaming and even bullying from other gay kids and from the gay media. I'm not fat enough to be considered a bear, not muscular enough to be considered a jock, and not skinny enough to be considered a twink. All three communities shamed (and still shame) my body and that in-bullying hurt (and still hurts) so much more than most of the out-bullying I suffered. I don't care what homophobes think about me, but you're my own goddamn people.
"But, really, would you stuff bills in any of these guys' pants?"
"but when it comes to the stripping, fellas, you can leave more than your hat on."
This is bullying and body-shaming and it isn't funny. Please just fucking stop alienating average-bodied people.
@Wendykahn: SOME male strippers are hustlers. Your post in its categoric put-down and your pity-party is one of the more self-homophobic on this thread.
I would not like magis mike as thy all took antibiotic sterods to get a body like that how we all wish we all had a nice body and heaps f sheilas have sex I would be a funny world if all the men look exactly like Mathew Mc Caughney or even any of the others take a look at the movie universal soldiers when al of them took steroids. even in fireman calendars and other calendars all the men look attractive and nice body and take steroids That is what Adolph Hitlet and the nazi party were trying to make a prfect world they tried to round up
the not perfect people – Jews Homosexual lesbian mental defective people Seven day Adventist
Murders russian sldiers and then they tried to study Identical twins to try and learn about cloneing people just like other places they do especially in the USA when A Man donates his sperm he must not be ugly as they do not want ugly nanies.

"All in the Gay and Golden Weather"
Much of the popular poetry of the late nineteenth century was not of the highest literary quality. Alice Cary's "All in the Gay and Golden Weather" exemplifies the type of moralizing, pedestrian rhymes that told of the pitfalls of romance governed by solely the heat of passion. As the boat "sailed the way the river ran," the couple, heedless of steering their own course, are carried by the current, unaware that they head for a nearby waterfall. Although the poem did not provide much in the way of inspiration, Homer chose to concentrate on the darker side of the theme, creating an emotional tension between the two figures that alerts the reader to the fact that the couple is destined to come to an unhappy end.

I was raised as a christian and a few months ago I became an atheist. However the members of my family are all still believers.
Currently I am in the USN stationed in Spain and have not been home in almost a year.
So I have been trying to decide if I should tell them I'm an athiest before I come home, so they can try and let it sink in and accept it.
Or should I tell them face to face and see what happens?
Hoping all you people who have gone through this can give me some advice on which to do. Or just let me hear some of your stories. It has been a great help reading all the forum posts here on TA.
Views: 37
I chose to tell my close family here and there, but I have never told my grandparents. I figure that they are too set in their ways and won't understand, plus they will just worry that I am going to hell. I love them dearly and I would like to think they'd understand...but I kind of doubt that.
As for everyone else, I didn't bring it up right away once I knew. I could tell my brothers and my sisters-in-law but I didn't say anything to my dad about it until he brought up Jesus and I expressed the gentler side of my atheistic views, which is that I don't think there is any way that anyone can know and that it seems silly to follow the word of such an old, archaic book, so I just live my life as the best person I can be and hope that if there is a god, I won't be faulted for my (god-given) reasoning ability.
It's different for everyone and it can be really alienating, but you also can't really live a lie. A lot of people end up having shallow relationships with the members of their family who can't accept it, but you would be surprised how many people end up telling you that they've had their doubts, too.
I wouldn't say before I came home unless it came up. You probably won't be able to talk about it as much as you'd like and some subtleties can get lost via phone and email.
I hope that helps! btw I work for the Center for Inquiry which has branches and allied groups all over the country, many of which offer support services. Feel free to get a hold of me if you need anything. :)
You know your family and can make a much better guess as to how they will respond than I can. Personally, I did not take it as something that needed to be "announced"; rather something to deal with as it came up. I never directly told my family I was atheist. They would not disown me, but it would hurt their feelings. I just stopped going to church with them, and answered questions with "I don't really believe that". Nobody discusses it with me anymore, so I've left it at that. I tell other people I'm atheist if it comes up in conversation.
If you're picking one option or the other, I would go with face to face.
I agree that there is no need to walk into the door and say "Hey, I'm an atheist". Are they type of people who constantly talk about religion? If yes, then it will naturally come up. Otherwise just wait until someone asks you something religious and you can slowly reveal your non-belief.
I told them face to face but it really depends on your family though. You should listen to your instincts.

Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. The only fragrance I have that lasts literary more than 24 hours.
I am fairly obsessed with buying frags that last all day on me...If I spend the money, I want to smell it 5+ hours. Most Montales and Most Bond no 9's fit the bill. NOT that they all smell good, most Bn9's smell awful, but I love New York Amber and I can smell it on my pillow the next day (24hrs longevity) Montale Black Aoud, Dark Aoud, Louban, and Cuir d'Arabie also last long and smell good.
For Sale: VINTAGE Montales
...the first that comes to my mind is... Havana
Joop Homme! .. by a long, looooong way. Even the after shave version blows away any EDT or EDP I've ever tried. And I've tried some of the big hitters mentioned on here such as Aventus, 1 million, Tobacco Vanille.. Joop Homme is an absolute monster. I actually quite like the smell but I'm too embarrassed to wear it in public because it is ruthlessly strong stuff.

Current favourites:
1. YSL- La nuit de l'homme
2. JPG- Le Male
3. YSL- Body Kouros
4. Hermes- Terre d'hermes
Vintage Bijan for Men. This is easily the one in my wardrobe that requires the most controlled application. Any more than a couple sprays of this and people in other rooms will know you're there.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
Voted for Jaipur, which I really adore, but Havana seems stronger- just not a huge fan of it...
Bijan(vintage) for men is the winner,and everyone here knows that,I think alot of people dont like scent of Bijan,
vintage Bijan for men has powerfull sillage, long lasting projection quality,after 18 hours later its still projecting as 18 hours ago,I respect everyone opinions,but there is no fragrance in this thread which have long lasting projection quality
the vintage Bijan for men is a powerhouse fragrance
I tried alot of really powerfull fragrances and my goal was to find strongest one with all powerfull qualities, and I can recommend you with confidence that
you can say "my vintage Bijan will punk any frag you have in your arsenal"
Last edited by Hovo; 28th February 2013 at 10:35 PM.
since this thread opened in Male Fragrance Discussion,thats why I did not counted women fragrances
those fragrances are for women,of course those are strong but in a womanly way,I think if any man wear Poison or Amarige he will become she, Poison & Amarige are women fragrances

I will open thread Bijan(vintage) vs Interlude Man vs Black Afgano and we will see,how many people will vote,and which fragrance will be winner
For some reason, when a men wear something that is stereotypically feminine, that is seen as being weak. It's not right, but that's the way it is

Founder- Cosa Nosetra
Vintage Giorgio For Men - One spray was enough for all day beastly projection.
Aventus for me has very strong sillage and projection. A bit too much actually...
I vote for two that others have mentioned: Van Cleef and Arpels PH and Tom Ford Amber Absolute. I'll offer another that I've had in my collection for quite a while and that only seems to get stronger as it ages: Aramis Gold.

tin can Rive Gauche
Bijan is a monster, but it isn't the most powerful powerhouse. Lapidus, OMS Gold, Bogart PH, Kouros, Enrico Sebastiano, and Giorgio are all stronger to me.
From a recent purchase: Prada Amber PH Intense.
Smells great, but you have to take it easy on the trigger. I spritzed on three sprays, and I had to slide down most of the windows in my car, in the middle of February in NY, on a parkway.
From what I hear, By Kilian Taste of Heaven is pretty potent as well; one well placed spray is all you need.
Costume National Homme.
"Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what's a heaven for?"
- Robert Browning, "Andrea del Sarto"
Carnal Flower and Portrait of a Lady are strong but Black Aoud wins it for me.
Giorgio of BH for man leaves all the rest to shame.
Lapidus pH, One Man Show, Sung Homme come next.
NONE of them on your list!!!!!
Perfume lovers of the world UNITE!!!!!
Red Aoud - Montale
Platinum Egoiste or Aventus
Hello all, I'm a basenotes virgin. First post! From my collection I would have to pick DHI reformulated, followed closely by Bogart PH ,Eau de Baux, and Black Orchid.
Black Aoud
Nuclear, but I like this aspect of it. One of many fantastic attributes this fragrance possesses
Tobacco Vanille
1 million
Black Afgano followed by
Pure Distance M
Mont Blanc Legend is greattt in both departments and it is huge compliment getter as well.
Currently on my Rotation:
1. Cartier D'un Soir
2. Loewe Essencia
3. Bergamotto Marino
4. Herb Alpert Listen
5. Artisan
6. Bang
8. Pal Zileri No 18
9. TdH
0. Kenzo Homme
Winter Star - Michael Storer
In my collection without question, Rien
I've had several project like a beast sometimes but not others.
I think Aventus is my overall winner only because it's my most complimented which gives me some indication it's projecting fairly well.
It's interesting how much skin chemistry has to do with it because even VC&A's Midnight in Paris has nice projection and longevity for me.
Now my girlfriend's Midnight Poison never ceases to amaze me. Best fragrance purchase I ever made. It lingers in a room for an hour after she's sprayed it twice and I can always smell it after an 8-10 hr. work day. Funny because it's an edt, too.
From what I have tried so far:
Projection - Kouros (ridiculous)
Longevity - DHI
Leather oud by Dior
New York oud by bond 9
Coromandel by Chanel
Bond No 9 NY Amber
3 sprays of Aventus and i pissed off a few people, mostly women.
Interlude for me
Boucheron Pour Homme edp

Psilocybin mushrooms (also called psilocybian mushrooms) are fungi that contain the psychedelic substances psilocybin and psilocin, and occasionally other psychoactive tryptamines. There are multiple colloquial terms for psilocybin mushrooms, the most common being magic mushrooms or 'shrooms. And Psilocybe cubensis is a species of psychedelic mushroom whose principle active compounds are psilocybin and psilocin. Psilocybe cubensis belongs to the Strophariaceae family of fungi and was previously known as Stropharia cubensis. The mushroom's cap is reddish-cinnamon brown to golden brown in color with white to yellowish stipe and will turn bluish/greenish when bruised.

The Truth About violence
This article contains very good advice. I'm very glad to read about self defence from a USA citizen that doesn't include "defending your home with a gun".
Principle #1: Avoid dangerous people and dangerous places.
You would think this is common sense; too bad common sense isn't common.
Principle #2: Do not defend your property.
Not only is this dangerous, it is morally questionable. Maiming or killing someone to protect property is wrong.
Principle #3: Respond immediately and escape.
All real self defence courses teach you to RUN as soon as possible. You can't be hurt if you are out of reach. You can't get help for your self or loved ones if hurt. And Sam is right that if you must defend yourself do it very aggressively. If you can't defuse the situation, or get away they mean you great harm. Normal buglers will run if they find out you are home. There are no rules when defending yourself. Don't hold back.
Even you know sport fighting you should take a few self defence courses. A sport fighter will have great technique, but wrong instincts for self defence.

Ulrich Zwingli had seven primary beliefs that were adopted by Zurich. Zwingli expanded his beliefs in his 67 Articles that were published in 1523.
|Faith demanded an active commitment to God
|The practices of the Roman Catholic Church took ones mind away from what Christ taught. There was no justification for these practices in the Bible.
|Whatever could not be justified by the Bible was to be abolished.
|Religion was a personal experience which did not require sacraments or ceremonies to sustain it.
|Zwingli denied that there could be any trace of God in the consecrated sacraments. The service of communion was simply an act of commemoration. The belief that there was a presence was mere superstition. In this, Zwingli differed from Martin Luther.
|Zwingli put a great deal of emphasis on the law of God as set out in the Bible. Zwingli claimed that it was Christ who gave Man the will to obey.
|A truly Christian community must follow the Bible as closely as possible.
As a result of the final point, the state virtually merged with the church in Zurich. Magistrates not only kept order but they were seen as guardians of public morality a church without a magistrate is mutilated and incomplete. A Court of Morals was set up. This evangelical reform of the lives of individual men and women, carried out through the agency of civil government, was one of Zwinglis major contributions to the Protestant Reformation. (Lockyer)
Nothing like this was attempted by Martin Luther.
Zwinglis approach impressed the city council of Zurich. In January 1523, Zwingli was ordered by the council to attend a public disputation between himself and the Bishop of Constance. Each was given the time to explain what he stood for and Zwingli was considered to be the victor. This support allowed Zwingli to introduce into Zurich the reforms that he felt the city required.
All symbols of medieval religion were removed from the citys cathedral and churches. Zwingli claimed that these hindered the true worship of God. Pictures, organs, shrines and images were removed. Public Bible readings were introduced in January 1524 and clerical marriage was allowed. In 1525, the monasteries in Zurich were dissolved. In April 1525, Mass was formally abolished and replaced with a simple communion service in which preaching and prayer played the most important part. People no longer knelt at the alter but received bread and wine in their seats.
While Zwingli received support from the city council, there were those who felt that the city was going too far too soon especially in view of the citys proximity to Rome Zurich was much nearer to the heart of Catholicism than Wittenburg in Saxony. Zurich only had a population of about 5,400 and so was susceptible to any form of attack, especially if it was couched in terms of a crusade.
By the end of 1525, the authority of the pope and the Bishop of Constance was formally abolished in Zurich and ecclesiastical authority was passed to the city council. In 1529, attendance church became compulsory and those who did not attend were punished.
Lay people were also given a role to play in that they could teach. Daily public lectures were introduced at the citys cathedral, which were devoted to the Bible. Laymen were encouraged to discuss issues and to question.

OXFORD, Ohio – In the opening round of the Mid-American Conference Tournament, the No. 8 seed Miami University men's basketball team downed No. 9 seed Kent State, 71-64, to punch their ticket to Cleveland. Miami will face No. 5 seed Ohio on Wednesday, March 12 at 6:30 p.m. at the Quicken Loans Arena.
Miami (13-17) advances to the second round of the MAC Tournament for the second straight year and is now 6-1 in MAC Tourney first-round games. The RedHawks also head to Cleveland having won four of their last six contests.
Miami got off to a slow start, falling behind 7-3 early in the first half. Both sides exchanged points over the next several minutes and the Golden Flashes held a 17-12 advantage with 11:06 remaining.
Down by five, the RedHawks responded with a strong 9-0 run to put them on top, 21-17 with 8:49 remaining. Sophomore center John Hawkins notched a layup and then sank two free-throws during that span.
Kent State (16-16) answered the RedHawks with a 12-4 run of its own. With the Golden Flashes on top, 29-25, senior forward Will Felder was fouled while going up for a layup. Felder made the layup and buried the free-throw attempt, bringing the RedHawks within one with just over a minute remaining in the first half.
Both teams exchanged points after that and brought the score to 31-30, Kent State ahead. With the game clock below the shot clock, junior guard Will Sullivan was fouled while shooting a 3-pointer. Sullivan converted all three of his free-throw attempts to give the RedHawks a 33-31 lead with three seconds left in the half.
Kent State's Chris Brewer hit a 3-pointer as time expired, but after video review the officials ruled the shot had not gotten off in time. The two squads entered the locker room with Miami on top, 33-31.
Miami bolted out of the gates in the second half, starting on a 10-2 run. Willie Moore notched eight points during that RedHawk rally, including two 3-pointers, the second coming with 14:51 remaining in the game and giving Miami its first double-digit lead of the night.
With 10 minutes left in the game, Miami led 52-42, but the Golden Flashes were not done yet. Kent State strung together a 13-2 run over the span of four and a half minutes to bring themselves within two points of the RedHawks. Miami held a narrow 59-57 advantage with 4:10 left in the game.
Miami never surrendered their lead but with 90 seconds remaining in the contest the Red and White were winning by just two points, 63-61. Senior guard Quinten Rollins took a hard drive to the hoop and squeezed through to deliver a layup with 1:22 left in the game. After a foul resulted in one of two made free-throws by Kent State, Miami had the ball back in its control.
With the shot clock winding down, Rollins once again drove aggressively to the hoop and made a layup to give the Red and White a 67-62 lead with 33 seconds remaining.
Miami never looked back from there, making four free-throws down the stretch and advancing to the second round of the Mid-American Conference Tournament on the heels of a 71-64 victory.
For the second game in a row, sophomore guard Willie Moore led the team in scoring, this time notching 17 points. Four RedHawk shooters ended the game in double-digit scoring as Rollins and Sullivan both notched 13 and Felder tallied 10.
Those that purchase 2014-15 Men's Basketball season tickets will have the opportunity to purchase $5 tickets for any Miami contest throughout the entire MAC Tournament. Tickets prices for all other fans will be $20 for Wednesday night's game. Tickets can be purchased through the Miami Athletic Ticket Office or at the Miami table in Quicken Loans Arena off of Huron Street.

OXFORD, Ohio – Miami University Athletic Director David Sayler announced Monday (July 1) that Mark Davis has been named the new head coach of the women's swimming and diving team. He has spent the past six seasons as an assistant for the RedHawks under retiring head coach Dave Jennings.
"We're real excited to have Mark Davis take the position to become our next head coach and build on the success that he has helped be a part of with Dave Jennings and his staff," said Sayler. "We look for Mark to continue the trend of winning MAC Championships, graduating our student-athletes and letting them achieve records in the classroom, which they've been doing the last few years, as well."
The RedHawks have won two MAC Championships during Davis' six-year tenure as an assistant coach, in 2009 and 2013. He assisted in coaching 16 individual MAC Champions and three relay championship teams. In four of his six seasons, the Red and White have qualified swimmers for the NCAA Championships, led by Kelsey Vehr becoming the first All-American in school history. During his time at Miami, seven swimmers have qualified for the USA Swimming Olympic Team Trials, while 53 school records have been broken. Miami has also seen a lot of academic success with a total of 22 athletes receiving 32 Academic All-MAC awards the past six seasons. The team has increased its overall GPA from 3.22 to 3.53 since Davis has arrived.
"I would like to thank Athletic Director David Sayler and Associate Athletic Director Jennie Gilbert for allowing me the opportunity to continue the great tradition of Miami Women's Swimming and Diving," said Davis. "I am excited to be a part of this great Athletic Department, family and team. When I came here 6 years ago, I was like our freshmen, I knew I really liked Miami, but after a short time here I fell in love with Miami. As everyone says Miami is about the people. There is no other place I wanted to be."
Prior to his time with Miami, Davis was the head coach of Centerville High School from 1996-2007. During his tenure, Davis guided the Elks to 12 conference championships and 12 sectional titles. On the women's side, Davis' squads won two Southwest District championships and finished as the district runner-up five times, each coming in his last seven seasons. In his finest season with the Elks, Davis led his women's squad to the 2004 Ohio Division I State Championship. Centerville swimmers broke all but two school records under Davis' watch, and he mentored state champions, state record holders and numerous All-Americans and Academic All-Americans.
Davis also was a successful club coach, leading the WTRC Sharks from 1992-2007. Helping the program grow from 30 to 200 swimmers, Davis mentored numerous U.S. Open Champions, sectional champions, junior national and senior national finalists and one Olympic Trials semifinalist. He primarily served as the coach of the Sharks' senior group, which is for all high-school aged swimmers. The Sharks were recognized as a Silver Medal Club of Excellence by USA Swimming.
A native of St. Marys, Ohio, Davis earned his bachelor's degree in computer science from the University of Dayton. He has earned his Level 4 coaching license from the American Swimming Coaches Association (ASCA).
Davis knows he is taking over for Miami Hall of Famer in Dave Jennings, but believes he is up for the task.
"Dave Jennings has been an outstanding mentor and friend," said Davis. "It is amazing what he has accomplished in the past 31 years. They always say it is tough to replace a legend, but after working with him for the past six years, I look at it as an honor to be able to carry on his work here at Miami.
"I am excited to be able to continue to work with some of the best athletes and most hardworking student-athletes. They are an outstanding group of women. We have continued to climb up the ladder, and I am anxious to see how high we can get."

One of the things I frequently have in my blog (www.yousuckatcraigslist.com) is multiple pictures in a post. I'm only testing WHP right now, but when I look at posts that have multiple pictures, they show up in a single centered column -- in other words, it's not putting more than one picture per line, even if there's plenty of room for more than one picture in the width of the page. Since I'm just testing, I can't actually point you to a page to look at, but I can email you a screenshot if you need it. Is there a way to change/defeat/control this? Can there be? I really don't want each picture to appear on its own line.

To do multiple pictures per line, all you need to do is use the WordPress gallery function or float them by adding a class of alignleft, or alignright. You could also try some plugins like the nexgen gallery plugin
Posted 10 November 2009 - 02:42 AM
I can't always use the gallery function because sometimes I have pictures that go with one part of a post and other pictures that go with another part; the gallery puts them all in at the same time. It seems like it would be easier to default to "as many pictures as fit on a line" and then if people wanted each one on a separate line they could just add carriage returns between them.
Posted 10 November 2009 - 10:57 PM
If it were me, I'd just float them all (add classes of alignleft, or alignright) and they would automatically have this type of functionality.
Posted 14 November 2009 - 04:06 PM
Where would I add this?
Posted 14 November 2009 - 06:57 PM
on the 'img' tags...
Posted 14 November 2009 - 09:24 PM
so it would look something like this if you want them to float left:
or like this if you want them to float right:
Make sure you close the tags.
so it would look something like this if you want them to float left:
<img url="[your image url]" class="alignleft"...
or like this if you want them to float right:
<img url="[your image url]" class="alignright"...
Make sure you close the tags.
Posted 19 November 2009 - 03:38 AM
Thank you, jnoh, that's what I needed to know.
Posted 19 November 2009 - 03:40 AM
Okay, wait ... so the thing is, I currently have almost 500 posts, most of which have pictures. I don't want to go back through each post and add in the "alignleft" class for each picture on each post just so I can use this theme. Is there a way to set it globally? If so, where?
Posted 19 November 2009 - 08:02 AM
you could make a CSS rule for that for instance: `.hentry img {float:left;}` this would float all your images in the 'post content' area to the left by default.

- OPM Director John Berry is looking to settle the debate on federal salaries. He's asked federal and outside experts to come up with a formula for comparing pay in the public and private sectors. Berry's move comes after press accounts claiming that feds earn higher average salaries than their counterparts outside of government.
- The House approves a bill to improve performance within agencies. The Government Efficiency, Effectiveness and Performance Improvement Act would force agencies to assess how well federal programs are meeting goals. It would also require measurable guidelines for making inefficient programs better. The bill now goes to the Senate.
- The cash-strapped Postal Service may need to shell out billions of dollars to replace an aging fleet of delivery trucks. Most of the Long Life Vehicles, as they're known, are nearing the end of their life cycles. An internal audit says it could cost more than $4 billion dollars to replace the fleet, and that it cost about $524 million to fix LLVs in fiscal year 2009. The Washington Post reports that Postal leaders are working to on a plan to buy new trucks.
- Agencies awarding non-competitive contracts have to justify their actions by posting documents on the web for the public to see. The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council published the new rule on non-compete bids yesterday. The "justification and approval" documents must be posted within 14 days of the award.
- Defense Secretary Robert Gates is urging Congress to approve the fiscal 2010 supplemental spending bill by the 4th of July recess. Otherwise, the armed services would have to curtail operations affecting Afghanistan and Iraq. Gates was testifying to the Senate Appropriations Committee. Congress Daily reports, House Democrats are considering bypassing an Appropriations Committee markup of the supplemental spending bill and sending the measure straight to the floor. The Senate has passed a version already.
- The Air Force plans to save millions by changing rate plans for thousands of cell phone accounts. OMB Director Peter Orszag says the military service will choose new plans that better reflect usage. The idea came from a federal employee in OMB's SAVE Awards program. That fed said mobile plans for the Air Force often didn't fall in line with usage. The swap could save more than $2 million dollars a year.
- There's no end in sight for big claims volumes hitting Veterans Affairs. Last year, for the first time, the VA received more than a million claims, and the department expects a 13 percent jump in claims this year. Those statistics come from Michael Walcoff, acting undersecretary for Benefits, at a congressional hearing. Overall, annual claims have risen 75 percent since 2000. Walcoff said VA is testing fast-track, electronic claims processing at its Business Transformation Lab in Providence, Rhode Island, according to NextGov.
- The head of the General Services Administration's Public Buildings Service says that canceling federal leases is not off the table. President Obama has ordered federal agencies to eliminate excess properties by September 30th. GSA's Bob Peck tells the Washington Business Journal that the option of canceling leases is a last resort, but that he can't say it won't happen. He says GSA's first priority is to help federal agencies find their unused space and urge agencies to give up property that they don't need. As leases expire, GSA will figure out how much space an agency really needs to function.
- Northrop Grumman has won a $148.6 million dollar contract from the Navy to work on the development of a missile launcher system. The contract with the Navy Strategic Systems Programs calls for Northrop to provide engineering services to support a missile compartment concept and development of a prototype. The Washington Examiner reports the work will take place in California over a 12-month period with an option for an additional 12 months.
- The Navy has awarded Falls Church-based defense contractor CSC a task order to provide services to support aircraft carriers. The Washington Business Journal reports the task order has a one-year base period and four one-year options, bringing the estimated total five-year value to $135 million dollars. CSC will provide program, lifecycle, business and financial management, as well as operations support.

布达佩斯 Yep! Hostel
Wesselenyi 13
G'day Mate!
Our hostel is located in the heart of the city in the magical 7th District (the Jewish quarter), just near to Deak square, Vaci utca and the pedestrian area.
Since Yep! Hostel is located in the inner city center, all of the major cultural, touristic and historical attractions are nearby, in walking distance from our place. At the closest corner there is the world famous SZIMPLA KERT pub, which is really something, what you can`t find anywhere else in the world - called a ruin pub, which has a fairly big size, with the opportunity to meet hundreds of locals and other travelers from all around the globe. As it is just at the corner, you don't have to worry about not finding the way back to the hostel if (maybe, in an absurd situation) you drunk too much.
Yep! offers you ensuite apartments, nice and spacious double and four bedded rooms and of course a mixed dormitory with shared bathrooms. We don't have boring, small, uncomfortable bunk beds in the dorm, but yes, you see well on the pictures, in our WIGWAM dorm we built very romantic, native TEPEES. No doubts, you can't find similar decoration in Budapest.....
There is a fully equipped kitchen in the hostel and in the ensuit units. Coffee, tea and cocoa are provided free of charge! Other food and drinks can be purchased downstairs at the non-stop supermarket.
We provide you endless FREE internet access, FREE WIFI and cabel TV in every room, and a widescreen cable TV in the lobby.
We offer a CHEAP airport PICKUP if you request it.
Please note, that our listed ENSUITE ROOMS are located NEAR to Yep! Hostel's main reception, but in DIFFERENT BUILDINGS. Even you stay in an apartment, you can come anytime to the hostel to meet us and other travelers!
Not easy to decide, we know,
but if you would like to stay in a hungarian hostel in Hungary, plus in the MIDST of the CITY, near to the popular pedestrian areas, like Vaci Utca, Oktogon or Raday utca.... say YEP!, book your bed or room, you can be sure, Yep! Hostel won't disappoint you!

Two months after the Occupy Wall Street protests were launched, people in the United States are more likely to view the movement in a negative light, a new Angus Reid Public Opinion poll has found.
In the online survey of a representative national sample of 1,006 American adults, 36 per cent of respondents hold a favorable opinion of the Occupy Wall Street movement, while 44 per cent have unfavorable views.
The level of animosity towards the movement increases with age, from a low of 36 per cent among respondents aged 18-to-34 to a high of 52 per cent among those over the age of 55. Democrats (49%) are more likely to view the Occupy movement in a positive light than Independents (38%) and Republicans (16%).
More than half of Americans (54%) believe some cities—including New York and Oakland—have been justified in removing the Occupy protesters from public squares and public spaces, including half of Democrats (50%) and Independents (also 50%) and a large majority of Republicans (73%).
Two-in-five Americans (43%) believe cities should set a deadline for the protesters to vacate public squares and public spaces (43%), while 15 per cent would seek legal action to remove the protesters. One-in-four Americans (24%) would take no action, and let the protests continue indefinitely.
When asked whether they would consider voting for a member of the Occupy Wall Street movement in the 2012 congressional election, 31 per cent of Americans say they would, while 42 per cent would not.
After two months of protests, middle-aged and older Americans appear to be growing impatient with the Occupy Wall Street movement. Most respondents in these two age brackets believe the decision of cities to clear protesters from public areas was justified, and the movement is only getting positive reviews from the youngest demographic—but still well short of commanding a majority.
The jump from protest to legislation appears to be a problematic proposal for Occupy Wall Street at this point, with only three-in-ten Americans saying they would consider backing one of their candidates in next year's congressional race.

Rafting in Bosnia: A Landscape of Incomparable Splendor
By Cindy-Lou Dale
En route to Mostar from Sarajevo, driving through a dizzying canyon, my guide, Sasha, decided to stop off at Konjic, a small town on the way. There was a man there, she claimed, I needed to meet.
My trip to Bosnia was purely an academic one – a meeting with a history professor at Mostar University, so arranged that I could savor a few days in the country which had once been beaten to within an inch of her life in a recent civil war.
"Samir Krivi?," Sasha explained, "is a physical training instructor by profession, but he also owns a whitewater rafting company."
A Stab of Despair
I fixed him with the most respectful grovelling look I believe I have ever mustered and enquired if he expected us to be getting wet. He smiled broadly, indicating that I should look into the canyon.
I felt a stab of despair when I peered over the edge; several hundred feet below was a deeply carved gorge with a foaming froth of fast moving white water. A small, uncontrolled squeak escaped me.
"Now," Samir announced, "we raft."
And so it was that I began my unintended first-ever whitewater adventure, when I gingerly stepped into a rubber raft containing several other wide-eyed innocents, all looking a little owlish. I showed them my teeth and sat down, securing my feet under the ropes.
I was quietly certain we would all die this day, all except Samir of course, who evidently feared nothing. Following what felt like a small eternity, but in reality was but a few minutes, the waking nightmare was over and we were in calm waters.
Despite myself I became rather excited at the prospect of the next set of rapids and uttered a cry of pleasure when Samir pointed them out.
Dazzling the Senses
Later, when we entered the calmer waters, I began to look around and see truly astounding sights; like the plump mountains suddenly and infinitely splashed with every sharp shade that nature could bestow, offset against white canyon walls and turquoise coloured waters, under a vast summer sky; a contrast that truly dazzles the senses.
We rafted for several hours, passing through a landscape of incomparable splendor and ended the trip where we had breakfasted earlier in the day.
"Bosnia is more than a rugged country," Samir explained. "It's a way of life which demands extreme outdoor sports. Some sportsmen paraglide off the top of Viso?ica and over the canyon of Rakitnica; others prefer to mountain bike across the Prenj plateau - Bosnia's version of the Himalayas."
He took a long pull at his pint and grew thoughtful. "The locals, though, favour rafting on the crystal-clear rapids of our world renowned Rivers Neretva, Una and Tara."
Fearsome Folk
Our fellow diners were possibly the most fearsome looking folk I had seen since a recent family reunion. They looked as if they had just come in from killing large animals in the woods, perhaps with their teeth.
The dining room was hung with wallpaper which was doing its best to flee dampness; which is what I did immediately upon finishing my meal.
I awoke the next morning to a world bathed in that predawn light that seems to come from nowhere.
An Amiable Giant
We arrived at Encijan's camp to a lavish buffet lunch set out beneath a covered wooden deck, overlooking a raging mass of turquoise water.
Sherpas, an amiable giant, with a handsome peasant look about him, explained that the River Tara was coined the jewel of Europe.
"This," he said, waving a hand in the general direction of the wild, foaming river, "rises from the mountain ranges in the northern part of Montenegro and flows 87 miles (140km) until meeting with the Piva River where it forms the River Drina, one of the longest and largest rivers in the Balkans."
"And that," he said, indicating the forest surrounding us, "is one of the last three remaining jungles in Europe with many trees more than 500 years old."

A rain suit is a necessary item in any rider's apparel collection. Even if
you don't ever plan on riding in the rain, there are some things that are simply
not in your control. If you have ever gotten soaked to the bone with cold rain
30 or more miles away from home, you probably already own one of these. Rain
suits are made in a variety of styles and materials most of which are available
on our website, Jafrum.com
The Thunder Under RS5009 one piece rainsuit is made from nylon. Nylon is a good
fabric for a rainsuit because it is lightweight, easy to pack, and somewhat
breathable. It can also be very reasonably priced. This complete suit with all
of the features I'm about to show you is on sale on Jafrum.com for less than
forty dollars. The only downsides to nylon as a rainsuit fabric are that it is
not flexible, although most rainsuits aren't flexible, and it doesn't hold up to
sunlight very well. All that means to you the rider is that you don't want to
lay it out in the sun for extended periods of time to dry. If you take proper
care of a nylon suit it will provide you with protection from the elements for
many years and miles.
This rainsuit is one of the best values available in this type of apparel, and
It is available in two color ways. The suits are primarily black with either a
red or gray accent panel across the chest. The two color ways have separate
listings on our website, so take note of the part number to make sure you are
ordering the correct item.
This rainsuit has a
durable plastic zipper that is covered by these dual panels and secured with a
hook and loop system to ensure a waterproof closure. It is also askew to allow
you to unzip down into the leg area making this suit easy to get on and off. All
the seams are tape sealed to keep the water out. The single pocket on the front
of the suit has full width hook and loop closure making it nearly completely
waterproof. The 5009 has reinforced areas in the behind for added durability and
reduced sliding in the saddle. You can find the same material in the legs which
provides wear resistance and keeps the nylon from melting to high heat areas of
the bike.
The fit on this jacket is true to size and takes your clothing or protective
gear into acct. I'm a medium in most clothing and the medium rain suits fit me
perfectly. There is a stretchy band all the way around the suit to reduce
buffeting at speed. The cuffs of the sleeves and pant legs also have stretchy
cuffs with waterproof, zippered expanders for easy on and off on the pants only.
The only features that are missing on this rain suit that would be nice are
maybe some adjusters on the sleeves and some stirrups on the legs. Sleeve
adjusters are nice to have to keep the jacket quiet especially if you ride a
bike with little or no wind screen and stirrups help keep your pantleg down and
water out of your boots. Even without these features, at less than 40 bucks,
this suit is still one heck of a bargain.
The interior of the RS5009 rainsuit has been equipped with a mesh lining. This
will help wick moisture away from your skin and also keep the rain gear from
sticking to your skin when you start to sweat.

Richard Sutton MD/PhD
Associate Professor of Medicine (Infectious Diseases) and of Microbial Pathogenesis
Research Interests
HIV replication and the development of small animal models of HIV; HIV vectors; HIV replication and gene transfer into non-dividing cells
Research Summary
Our laboratory is focused on the study of human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV) replication and the development of small animal models of HIV. For example, mice are not susceptible to HIV due a profound block in HIV assembly and release from cells. We are exploring the nature of this block and are conducting genetic screens and biochemical assays to identify human genes that may be able to overcome this deficiency. Our work has zeroed in on Crm1, and we are now attempting to determine why murine Crm1 is defective in terms of HIV replication.
We also utilize replication-defective HIV as a vector to transduce non-dividing cells for gene therapeutic purposes and are developing novel methods of vector production. These vectors are used to investigate other viruses (for example, cellular binding and entry requirements of Ebola and Western Equine Encephalitis) and to explore fundamental questions in molecular biology, such as high throughput identification of DNA elements that serve as transcriptional activators in various cell types, including human embryonic stem cells.
We are now funded through NIDA to use advanced genomic and genetic techniques to identify host genes associated with control of HIV in man. We are studying HIV+ elite controllers, a select subset of patients who are able to control the virus in the absence of therapy. Using a combination of molecular biology and genomic methods, we hope to pinpoint the genes causally responsible for elite control, at least in the patients who manifest a distinct in vitro phenotype. This work may inform both the HIV vaccine and eradication effort.

Doggie Dieting Done Right: Natura Gives Pets a Lot to Gain with EVO® Weight Management Options
Weight management formulas offer balanced nutrition with fewer calories
Davis, CA – As part of the upcoming National Pet Week (May 2-8, 2010), Natura is encouraging healthier lifestyles for people and their pets. As many families take part in this year's Pet Week fun, Natura challenges pet owners to find out ways they can enhance the quality of life for their beloved animal.
According to a recent study by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP), an estimated 84 million dogs and cats in the United States are overweight or obese – an alarmingly high statistic. With the popularity of the Atkins and South Beach Diets, we know the importance for humans of balancing calories from carbohydrates with exercise. The same principle is true for our companion animals.
That's why Natura Pet Products is giving pet parents an ideal solution – EVO Weight Management Adult dog and cat foods. The formulas feature protein-rich, low carbohydrate pet foods for healthy weight loss.
"Pet foods low in carbohydrates can be a good option when developing a weight management program. By removing all grains and using a minimal amount of starchy vegetables in the formula, EVO minimizes carbohydrate intake," said Sean Delaney, DVM, MS, Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Nutrition and Natura's Chief Nutrition Officer. "A high-protein, meat-based diet, like EVO, can be an excellent alternative to the normal reduced-calorie pet foods where many times carbohydrates can still be excessive for some pets."
The adult dog and cat food varieties feature at least 80% turkey, chicken and dairy ingredients – the highest percentage of poultry and dairy ingredients among grain free dry pet foods – and at least17% fruit and vegetable ingredients, for the lowest carbohydrate percentage among grain free dry pet foods. When compared to regular EVO dog and cat foods, the weight management formulas reduce dietary fat and increase dietary protein for healthy weight loss.
Continues Dr. Delaney, "Medical research shows that extra weight on pets can lead to all sorts of health problems, including osteoarthritis and insulin resistance, but a healthier lifestyle and diet has the potential to actually increase a pet's lifespan."
Dr. Delaney adds, "For most pet owners, the easiest way to facilitate weight loss is to feed less. However, with many formulas, feeding less means your pet also receives less of the nutrients, like amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, necessary to stay healthy. EVO Weight Management is formulated to help maintain lean muscle mass and increase dietary protein but because it is nutrient enhanced with at least 125% of each essential nutrient's required level, it can also be used for active weight loss."
EVO Weight Management Adult Dry Dog Food is available in 28.6 lb., 13.2 lb. and 6.6 lb. packages, while EVO Weight Management Adult Dry Cat Food comes in 15.4 lb., 6.6 lb. and 2.2 lb. packages.
Natura encourages discussing any new feeding program with your veterinarian to ensure the best choice for your best friend's health. For more information about Natura Pet Products or the EVO Weight Management line, pleasevisit www.naturapet.com.

I'm considering buying another gun. Taurus International Manufacturing markets a .410 shotgun revolver called "The Judge" that's piquing my interest.
I have a somewhat emotional attachment to that particular shotgun gauge (which is actually a caliber) because Dad gave me the little single barrel .410 he had as a boy. I hunted with it from
In my youth I imagined squirrels singing ballads about me and my gun around their nut stores. Nonsense, of course, but suffice it to say that I invested that little weapon with a ton of personal Tom Sawyer memories.
Regarding my impending purchase in light of the current uproar around guns and rights and responsibilities, I really don't "need" another weapon. However I "want" it, which at my age is generally acceptable justification for most pleasures.
I'm from
Which leads me to the observation that today, obeying present law isn't enough for some. Apparently, I shouldn't be left in charge of some personal choices if those in power decide I'm making "wrong" ones.
I've lived through a lot of administrations, but this is the first one I've encountered that simply doesn't like me. But that's okay because I and half the country are in the same boat together. I truly understand.
There are traits the president doesn't like at all, and I seem to exhibit most of them. To wit, I'm a white, heterosexual male conservative who owns guns and plans to get at least one more. I prefer free market capitalism over socialism.
I'm also pretty much an anti-abortion-on-demand guy although I harbor no religious beliefs on the subject. I just think it grossly disingenuous to get giggly about some types of horrible deaths but not others. Tragedy isn't age or party specific.
But logic has little to do with this crowd because it's totally about posturing. I wish what President Obama says could be believed on its face, but that's impossible.
I know all he utters aren't lies but sorting out nuggets of truth from his constant sermonizing is all but impossible, sort of like picking fly specks out of black pepper. I simply don't trust him or any of his mouthpieces.
Obama's latest political initiative is renewing a ban on assault weapons. It'd be so very nice if we could actually keep random idiots from doing idiotic things by re-tooling machines, but it's unlikely.
But never let it be said that logic could get in the way of a political hay harvest. He will be going coast to coast on another snake oil tour.
I accept the reality of another four years of imperial presidency spending us into disaster. I'll be on the shooting range with my new pistol.
