''The censors say they're protecting the family unit in America, when the reality is, if you suck a tit, you're an X, but if you cut off a tit with a sword, you're a PG.'' - Jack Nicholson
Win Free Tickets to the World Premiere in Los Angeles. Now & Later will premiere in Los Angeles on August 16th at 9:15PM at the Downtown Film Festival in the new At&T Center [1150 S. Olive St. (at 12th St.) Los Angeles 90015].
A panel discussion on the difficulties for depicting real sex in American cinema will follow the screening with the main actors, Shari Solanis and Keller Wortham, director Philippe Diaz, and Bill Margold, veteran adult entertainer and advocate as well as the film reviewer for the LA Express. Panel will be moderated by David Geffner, a journalist and filmmaker, who has written about censorship and sexuality in cinema for Moviemaker Magazine.
The first 10 people to register will win two free tickets to the premiere of Now & Later at the Downtown Film Festival on Sunday August 16 at 9:15pm! Hurry, they'll go fast!
''This movie performs the Houdiniesque feat of seducing you with images of carmel-colored feminine curves in full-throttle ''fuck-me-harder'' sex, and then gets you to think about American imperialism and exploitation in almost the same gasp.'' Tim Rhys, Publisher, MovieMaker Magazine
Sex, politics and American culture are mixed into a combustible combination in Now & Later. Angela (Shari Solanis) is an illegal Latina immigrant living in Los Angeles who stumbles across Bill (Keller Wortham), a disgraced banker on the run. She takes him in and through passionate sex, soul-searching conversations ranging from politics to philosophy, and other worldly pleasures, the affair will ultimately change Bill's life.
The film was conceived by Philippe Diaz, a native Frenchman, in reaction to Americans penchant for violence in our movies and our culture and our censoring of anything involving sex. Familiar with Wilhelm Reichs notion that a sexually repressed society turns into a violent one, Diaz makes an unabashedly sexual yet cerebral film that challenges the perception that sex in media is harmful.
Introducing Shari Solanis as ''Angela'' and Keller Wortham as ''Bill.'' Also features Marcellina Walker, Luis Fernandez-Gil and Adrian Quinonez. Shot in and around downtown Los Angeles on HD by DP Denise Brassard.
Downtown Film Festival is Los Angeles is a nonprofit arts organization established to celebrate the current renaissance of downtown Los Angeles through the medium of motion pictures. More information at www.dffla.com. Buy Tickets to the Festival!

The Dangers of watching the Super Bowl in a Sports Bar
I know most of you have been worried about me... It's probably been keeping you up at nights wondering where I've been. Well, there's no easy way to tell you this so I'm just going to say it.... I tested positive for a writing enhancement drug.
Yep. I peed hot.
As you all have probably noticed, my writing is great, maybe a little bit too great.... And you were right. So after serving my 120 day suspension for writerbolic steroid use, I'm back! And I've got some great new stuff from Thailand that OKTC doesn't even test for yet, so my writing is still going to be extremely awesome!
On to the column.
This is a big weekend for football. It's Super Bowl Sunday. It's probably the only weekend all year that you'll hear a discussion about the benefits of the Giants defensive line getting pressure without blitzing, and how cute Kristen Bell was on the Ellen Show last week in the same room. People who love football, and people who don't know what color a football is, will have conversations about things like "is Honda really bringing back Ferris Buehler for a commercial? Does drinking Miller Light really cause that kind of a reaction from gorgeous women? Can babies really speak effectively about personal investment banking? For a single weekend, all of these people come together at various living rooms and bars across the country, they drink some beer, eat some food, and these questions can be answered.
There were many compelling stories this season... But only a few remain. Stories like, can Eli Manning keep a stranglehold on the title of "Second Best QB in the Manning household," and can he overcome his severe handsome deficiency against Tom Brady? Can Tom Brady win another Super Bowl while being the only man to openly admit to wearing UGGS? Do my triceps look ripped in this t-shirt I'm wearing? That's what the Super Bowl is for, to answer these tough questions once and for all.
Now, the odds are that you couldn't score a ticket to the Super Bowl in person, and that's OK. Not everyone in the world can spend $1500 per ticket to watch their favorite team play, this isn't the SEC Championship after all. It was for this reason that God invented the sports bar. He realized that poor people also enjoy watching sports, so He gave us all a place to go watch the Super Bowl that didn't involve Clay's 50 most annoying Super Bowl party guests.
But you have to be careful, my friends. Sports bars aren't just filled with your drunken buddies who like to high five strangers when someone scores a touchdown. There are some really awful people hanging out there too, people who will do their best to ruin your fun even if they don't know they're doing it. Trust me, I've spent the majority of my 120 day suspension putting some serious research into this. So as you're heading out to watch some football this weekend, keep an eye out for these a-holes.
Jersey Guy Wearing a Jersey From a Team Not Playing -
There's at least one of these guys at every sports bar and I would venture to guess that 98% of them are wearing Packers or Steelers jerseys. They'll be VERY drunk and VERY pissed that their teams aren't still playing. On this Sunday, this guy will be wearing his Troy Polamalu jersey telling you how lucky the Broncos were to beat his beloved Steelers... how terrible Tim Tebow is, and how he couldn't beat the Steelers one out of 10 times if they played again... he'll tell you how the Steelers are still the best team in the NFL and should be playing in this Super Bowl. When you see this dude, just tell him to go find his own table... Merril Hoge shouldn't be hanging out at your sports bar anyway.
Bum a Smoke/ Lighter Guy -
You'll run into dozens of these guys if you're sitting by the patio. Maybe it's because I've never been a smoker, but I will never understand why it's OK to walk up to a complete stranger and ask if you can have something that belongs to them. You wouldn't walk up to a stranger and say, "Hey man... can I have that beer?" or "Hey bro... can I bum your shirt from you?". So why is it cool to do this with cigarettes? When this happens I like to offer a trade. Like maybe feeling one of his girlfriend's boobs or something like that. Either that guy's not asking to bum a smoke from you again, or you get to feel some strange boob... either way you win!
One-Up Guy -
Every group of friends has this guy... hell, you might be this guy. You know who he is, he's the guy who always has a story that's just a bit better than the one you just told. "You went to Cabo for vacation? That's pretty cool. I went to Turks and Caicos last summer... soooo much better than Cabo dude, you should go sometime." "You got a new watch for Christmas? It's pretty nice. Mine is a Rolex though, so...." or "You got in a fight with two guys last weekend? I got into a fight with a grizzly bear that was holding a hammerhead shark. It was no big deal." I suggest getting so drunk that this guy doesn't bother you anymore.
Soft Handshake Guy -
You are the worst, Soft Handshake Guy!! We are at a damn sports bar... surrounded by men and football and that Buck Hunter game! Grab my hand like a man and squeeze that sumbitch until it turns purple!!
St. Paddy's Day Drunk Guy -
You've seen this guy at the end of the bar... he is so wasted that he's adapted his own language... he gives you unparalleled advice like "YOU CAN'T ALWAYS BE A DUMB---! SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO BE A SMART S--!!" He mumbles to himself about kicking someones ass... the entire bar staff is trying to figure out how to kick him out so he won't cause a scene... Don't get stuck next to this guy. It will be the most miserable four hours of your life.
Listens To Your Story Then Chimes in Guy -
I get it guy. You're alone at the bar, you're trying to meet some new people... but here's the deal. We all actually have friends. Friends that we want to talk to without you blurting out your story about how your cousin played against Eli Manning in High School, or how you had a class with Matt Light in college, or that you really wish that Super Bowls weren't played in domes... these kind of stories are why nobody wanted to come to the bar with you in the first place. Keep them to yourself!
Irrational Fan Guy -
It doesn't matter how logically you argue with this guy... he is sticking by his assertion that Tony Romo is just as good as Joe Montana and John Elway. He'll say insane things like "but he IS a clutch player!" and repeatedly mention him playing that one game with broken ribs. Just give up talking to this guy, you're at the bar to have fun and he'll only make you insane with anger.
Guy who wants to Change the Game to Hockey -
Hockey Guy to Bartender - "Hey buddy... can you put the Winnipeg game on one of the big screens for me? Thanks Chief."
Bartender to Hockey Guy - "Ummm... no I can't. Because we live in America."
Inaccurate Stats Guy -
You've all met this guy before. He sounds like he understands sports, but then throws out some horribly inaccurate stat. Something like, "I don't get why Tebow is suddenly so inaccurate in the pros? He completed 87% of his passes in college." And he says it with such conviction that you actually think it might be true for a few seconds. Then you remember that this guy is a dumbass.
Guy/Girl from Boston -
It always amazes me that you can find someone from Boston at every sports bar in the world. They're usually wearing a cheap Celtics Brian Scalabrine jersey, yelling about how great their teams are and how bad they've had it at the same time, complaining about how bad the beer is at the bar compared to some bar back in Boston... and these people are going to be EVERYWHERE this weekend. It's almost enough to make you want to stay at home but if you do that you'll miss all of the crying and screams that it's "JUST LIKE BUCKNAH AGAIN!!" when they lose. You don't want to miss out on that, trust me.
The Tebow "Believer" -
I've actually had this conversation with drunk Tebow fans outside of Denver several different times, it goes something like this:
(Drunk guy sees my Broncos hat from across the bar and stumbles over)
Drunk Guy - "Hey man... Broncos... TEBOW!!"
Me - "Yep... good game right?"
Drunk Guy - "Are you... (hiccup)... Are you a believer?"
Me - "A believer in what?"
Drunk Guy - "A believer in Tebow dude"
Me - "Well... I'm a Broncos fan so..."
Drunk Guy - "It's a simple question bro!! Are you a Tebow believer? OR are you a hater?"
Me - "Why do I have to be one or the other? Are you a even Broncos fan?"
Drunk Guy - "Nope. I'm a Tebow fan. That's right, I drink and smoke drugs but I'm a christian! And I believe in TEBOW!!"
Me - "What does the drugs thing have to do with Tebow?"
Drunk Guy - "Because I'm a believer!! TEBOW!!"
Then this guy has to get a cab home because he has a breathalyzer in his car and is to drunk to get it started.
There are probably more of these types of people out at the Sports Bars this weekend, but these are the most prevalent. So have fun watching the game on Sunday everyone, be safe, and stay away from these dudes at the bar.

Most renewable energy deals are long-term. For example, power purchase agreements often have 20-year terms. Although debt financings for these projects typically have shorter lives, those too run multiple years. As a result, in order that these transactions get financed and completed, it is very useful that there be a tolerably reliable basis for believing that the projects will generate sufficient levels of energy and thus revenues for, say, at least the first 10 years and that meaningful remedies are available if energy output falls short.

SEATTLE, Nov. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Left-handed pitcher Jon Lester, who came back from an off-season battle with cancer to pitch the winning game for the Boston Red Sox in the 2007 World Series, will receive the 2008 Hutch Award. The award is given annually to a Major League Baseball player who best exemplifies the honor, courage and dedication of baseball great Fred Hutchinson, both on and off the field.
The 24-year-old Tacoma, Wash. native made his Major League Baseball debut in June 2006. Lester ended the 2008 season with a 16-6 win/loss record and a 3.21 ERA with 152 strikeouts.
"This is a tremendous honor for me and my family to have been selected for the Hutch Award," Lester said. "I'm humbled to know that legends such as Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax and Lou Brock have won this award in the past."
Lester was diagnosed with anaplastic large-cell lymphoma in August 2006. Referred to the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, the treatment arm of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, he underwent six rounds of chemotherapy and recuperated at his parents' home in Puyallup, Wash. In December 2006, doctors determined he was cancer-free and in February 2007 he joined the Red Sox for spring training in Florida. After some work in the minors, he returned to the major league mound against the Cleveland Indians on July 23, 2007. Boston won the game, 6-2.
"Congratulations to Jon Lester on the Hutch Award. Jon handled his adversity with grace and dignity," said Red Sox Manager Terry Francona. "He is an inspiration to us all, on top of just being a really good kid."
Lester's experience with cancer has affected his life off the field and has influenced his fans. For example, he has taken time to meet young fans undergoing cancer treatment, and a group of Boston-area college students have started The Lester Project, which raises money for the Jimmy Fund, a cancer-research charity associated with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

In an era when cinema and other forms of infotainment threaten native folk art forms and amidst heavy pressure to compromise on quality, Therukkoothu is alive and thriving.
"The reception is encouraging. In the past, there used to be five or six troupes in an area. Now, there are 30 to 40 groups. But the only disadvantage is that there is more competition and only the best will get more opportunities," P.K. Sambanda Thambiran, who has won this year's Sangeet Natak Akademi award.
The 'P' in his initials stands for Purisai, a small village in Tiruvannamalai district, a name synonymous with Therukkoothu and which has produced some great artistes incluing Sambanda Thambiran's father Kannappa Thambiran.
Sambanda Thambiran, a fifth-generation artiste, was in Chennai to train students of the National School of Drama in enacting Shakespeare's Macbeth in the street performance form.
Sambanda Thambiran said the dress code, make-up, singing style and music differered from region to region. While the 'therkatthi paani' (southern style) is practised in areas around Villupuram and Tindivanam, the art form that prevails in Tiruvannamalai, Kancheepuram, Vellore and other districts is called 'vadakkathi 'paani (northern style).
Muhaveena, harmonium, dolak, mrindangam and jalra are the musical instruments used in Therukkoothu.
"We usually use Carnatic ragas such as naattai, kedara gowla, muhari, and nadhanamakriya for singing viruthams," he said, as he rendered a high-pitched song in muhari that narrated Panchali's lament on how a loafer grabbed her hair and dragged her away.
"We have never been under pressure to introduce vulgar body movements, dialogues and music that have gradually crept into other folk arts. In fact, we will be chided if we resort to cheap methods to please the audience," said Sambandan.
He expressed happiness over the award. "It is a recognition, not just for me, but for all Therukkothu artistes and members of my group," said Sambandan, who has been running Purisai Duraisami Kannappa Thambiran Paramparai Therukkoothu Mandram.
The Mahabaratha is usually the preferred subject for Therukkoothu, which is normally performed during the Tamil months beginning from Chithirai to Purattaasi in Draupadhi Amman and Mariamman temples. But in the 1980s, the trend changed with the arrival of Sambanda Thambiran, who was also trained in modern theatre at Koothu Pattarai, the experimental theatre group based in the city.
"The interaction between Therukkoothu and modern theatre led to many more experiments. We started performing Subramania Bharathiyar's Panchali Sabatham, Kambaramayana and other literary works. Though we introduced novel ideas, we never deviated from the basic structure of the art form," said Sambandan, who has travelled to France, Colombia, Sweden, Singapore and US to give performances.
In Colombia, he staged Gabriel Garcia Marquez's A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings during the fifth international Theatre Festival.
Asked whether people in a Spanish-speaking country were able to understand a story rendered in Tamil, he said the narrator of the prologue (kattiyankaran) explained everything to the audience in a nutshell.
During Bertolt Brecht's birth centenary , he also adapted The Caucasian Chalk Circle in the Therukkoothu form.

We're all born atheists
April 12, 2012 Leave a comment
By an unapologetic atheist Editor
It is a rather common theme among religionist propaganda to see the smiling sharply dressed Christian contrasted with the atheist who, when not illustrated with devil horns, is shown as a miserable disheveled fellow only Gollum would call friend.
I've met my fair share of fast-talking, grinning religionists diligent to assure me they resided at the pinnacle of contentment due to their supposed belief in the supernatural.
I'm sure we've all heard the pitch. If you haven't, it goes a little something like this: "I've been a fool for sin. I've fallen for temptation's wicked siren song. And I've slept on the devil's back porch. But I found the cure for misery. And you, too, friend, can be happy like me if you would just accept Jesus Christ into your heart."
Of course, the majority of the time it isn't the peaceable Christ character they want you to emulate but, instead, they seek compliance with one of the 33,820 Abrahamic derivations of Christianity worldwide.
Since I was old enough to realize the supernatural existed only in human imagination, movies and comic books I have heard the claims that non-believers become atheists because they are either angry with the fictional god character or have chosen not to adhere to occultism or believe in magic due to some personality defect or mental trauma.
It didn't take me long to infer, astutely, that these claims that religionists are somehow more well-adjusted, loving, peaceful, relaxed and generally joyous than their secular brethren was just another cheap trick in the dogmatist's arsenal.
Degradation is the name of the game, and how better to scare little children into compliance than to assure them a life without mythology is a life not worth living.
According to a Grand Valley State University study by Luke Galen (in my home state of Michigan) confident atheists are as well-adjusted and content as their religious counterparts. The study notes those who claim to wholeheartedly believe in a magical being consider themselves the happiest, with those believers who engage in actual critical thinking with regards to their beliefs tending to be among the unhappiest.
Though studies can be deceptive – generally because the number of test subjects is so low compared to the population, and there is tendency for people to shy away from sharing true feelings about religion – I am willing to concede ignorance is bliss.
Take, for instance, babies. They are arguably the most ignorant humans on the planet. As long as they are sheltered, fed and given companionship they are content and perfectly happy. It then seems reasonable those infantile adults who believe nothing bad will ever happen to them because magic grandpa is ever monitoring them as they go through life have fewer fears and anxiety.
Placebos work – this we know.
It is popular among the religious propaganda machine to admonish atheists as not only unhappy but angry.
"Why are you so mad at God?" they ask. "If you don't like religion why don't you just avoid it?"
It has always amazed me that seemingly intelligent people can posit such obtuse notions.
Would one ask the slave why he is so angry with the slave-master?
Yet, despite religion's several-thousand-year stranglehold on mankind; and with all the horrors it has wrought, we non-believers who dare push back against tyranny are deemed insurrectionists and ne'er-do-wells.
After all, how dare we be upset that our speech, actions, taxes, foreign policy, and bodies are controlled by the majority cult?
Google away, and you will quickly find many thousands of links to studies which purport atheists suffer decreased longevity and may be generally less happy than the religious.
Of course, those same searches turn up studies which show atheists enjoy better sex lives and are more intelligent.
According to Tomas Rees' study of the Global Peace Index, the most peaceful countries in the world also have the highest rates of non-theists while – you guessed it – the most turbulent and warlike countries had the greatest numbers of the "faithful."
Another statistical certainty, which I have discussed in other articles and essays, is the fact that more than 98 percent of the American prison population (U.S. Department of Justice) is composed of religious people. The overwhelming majority faith of those religious folks is Christianity.
More than 98 percent of criminals are religious; and that seems obvious there is more than mere correlation here.
Non-theists tend to be more law-abiding, peaceful and respectful of people and their property while a hefty price tag of rape, murder, slavery, child molestation, arson, theft and unnecessary war comes with the blissful ignorance and self-delusion of popular occultism.
Unfortunately, as so often happens, I am left with more questions than when I started. Are the religious genuinely more content than the secular? And, if so, does this give the occultists the right to instate their voodoo upon the rest of us? Or, are the wicked among them simply feigning pleasantry in a sort of social engineering to better wage their propaganda war? It works for police, salesmen and spies.
If the religious are brimming with unadulterated glee, then perhaps it is because they possess penultimate control over this world … and they know it. After all, even sharks sometimes look like they're smiling.

He calls himself America's angriest atheist. However, the gravelly voiced pleas for freedom and fairness for all which emanate from his modest internet radio studio deep in Oklahoma are not diatribes of blind rage but an intense lucidity of purpose. When RJ Evans takes to cyberspace each Saturday evening with his team of skeptical scholars and constitutional devotees there becomes, for three short hours, a gathering place for disillusioned dogmatists, agnostics, deists, anti-theists, atheists and even curious believers. What the unfaithful get from the "American Heathen" radio show is discussion consisting of a mixture of politics, history and civil rights with a godless spin and a splash of humor. Despite his command of theology and brash attitude, Evans isn't the working man's Sam Harris or just another Howard Stern parrot. And, despite his commitment to his fellow man, his resemblance to Gandhi ends with a bald head.
In a land of pedestrian prophets and mass-produced idols, Evans' modulus throughout American Heathen is that all people – religious or not – have the right to peaceful coexistence. Meanwhile, his show does the necessary work of offering intellectual topics in a format digestible by people who may not have advanced degrees in world religion or spend their leisure time decoding Hume and Huxley. This freethinker's feast runs the gamut from serene to grisly, introducing familiar elements like listener call-ins, skits and unique contributors from around the globe including Dr. Charles A. Doswell III (2 Buck Chuck), author and radio broadcaster John Mill (Ronald Bruce Meyer), the Georgia State Director for the American Atheists Inc. Al Stefanelli and British historian Ken Humphreys with "Astounding Rubbish" before it climaxes with the American Heathen op-ed … a tirade of gnashing synapses in an aural onslaught. So, how did the leader of a veritable A-team of A-theism go from Christian kid with a promising future in music to arguably America's angriest atheist? RJ Evans recently took time out of his busy schedule to talk about his metamorphisis from believer to atheist.
Initially your average white suburban kid growing up in the 1960s, Evans got his first close-up encounter with the entertainment business when he was fairly young. Though he had only been playing the drums for four years, 10-year-old Evans was called up to play a gig in a nightclub to fill in for the regular drummer who had fallen ill. "My dad was in radio and television in Las Vegas, Nevada, and some people happened to know my dad. They called him and he took me down there and I was thrust into the world of music," Evans said. "My first rock band I was in I was 13 and it was with a bunch of Mormons. The band was called 'Blind Wisdom' and they went to the church the Osmond Brothers went to whenever they were in town." Evans parents divorced shortly thereafter and he bounced around between his parents, foster homes and juvenile detention centers. Evans' religious rearing was what he calls a "Lifesaver" roll of Christianity. "You name the flavor and I was probably exposed to it," Evans said. "My dad surprisingly married a woman (Evans' stepmother) that was a Mormon and he became a Jack Mormon, so everything was a mish-mash of stuff. Some days we would go to church with the Episcopalians or the Baptists or the Roman Catholics. It was almost a blur." Evans said he began to question the world around him after a dispute with his father.
"I lied to him once and he forced me to sit in my room and read the Bible for two days. I remember thinking 'this is full of shit,'" he said. "I was 10 or 11 and I could barely understand certain things at school but I remember reading this, and that planted a seed. After that I kept trying to justify the way I felt up until the point of my de-conversion."
Evans left high school in his senior year to join the United States Marine Corps. When he came back to civilian life Evans embarked on his music career. That familiarity with travel and musical background may explain Evans' foray into his decades-long career as a music engineer, roadie, songwriter and band-mate. "Holiday Inns, bars, clubs, dives – I had the opportunity to sign with Capitol Records in '84-'85 when I was up in Seattle," he said. "It was between the band I was in and a band called 'WASP' and we all know how that worked out." During those years traveling, Evans worked everything from radio disc jockey to the manager of a roller rink – and he even studied under the great Uncle Bob Hardy, a legend in broadcast radio. Evans obtained his commercial broadcasting license while at Arizona Western College in Yuma.
Evans' de-conversion came much later. He had written an album called "Dirty Hands" in the early 2000s and had been using a neighbor and friend as a mental muse for the sexually charged theme. "I revealed it to her and a couple weeks later I got a call from her husband saying they never wanted to speak to me again," he said. "It may seem like an insignificant event to some but it was like somebody had pulled the rope to the guillotine." Evans spun into a depressive state using alcohol to self-medicate. For reasons unknown to Evans that single event caused an eruption of emotion from the decades he had spent lying to himself about believing in God. "With all those questions I had been justifying I had become very fundamentalist. This was like I fell off a cliff and I didn't know how hard I would hit the ground," he said. "It was one of the most painful moments in my life." Evans added, "My wife could hardly console me." And then it happened – Evans had the epiphany that the magical beings and the religious system set up to support their alleged existence were mythology.
"Suddenly it was very clear to me. I haven't figured it out to this day," Evans said. "It wasn't a rejection of a god or anything like that. I wasn't angry at a god. I just knew it was bullshit."
Evans said the de-conversion was less stressful for his wife as she had always been more of a doubter. "Once I got past the depression the anger came out," Evans said. "I was angry and pissed off at being lied to by parents and relatives and friends. I wasn't able to see like I can today. At that time I was an emotional basket case. I wasn't able to see they were brainwashed too, and products of their environment." Nowadays Evans understands people's religion is an accessory like hair dye, jewelry or clothing and should be treated as such. "I've grown a considerable amount during that time to understand the intricacies of religious people, but back then I just wanted to scream at the world … that's why American Heathen was born," he said. "I was probably one of the loudest and most intimidating individuals to be around. In fact, my wife was kind of scared to be around me when I was on the air." Evans added, "I became a sponge. I was reading everything I could get my hands on and I was pontificating on anything I could with any degree of knowledge, and it was sheer rage." Evans said much of his rage stemmed from the time he spent praying from the beds of foster homes and juvenile detention centers for a fictional deity to give him guidance. "I was hearing no answers, and at this time I'm thinking he (God) is teaching me a lesson for being a little shit," He said. "There were a lot of psychological issues involved with this falling off the cliff – it was a culmination of a lot of stuff." Coming out of the non-theistic closet had more than just psychological implications. "My birth mother disowned me within about a year of my declaration, and I had several best friends walk away," Evans said.
Now nearly 7 years after his first broadcast to a single listener, Evans has turned his rage on American theocracy. "If you can separate the human from the belief system you're doing alright. It's alright to be angry at religion, but when you turn to ad hominem attacks on a person you are essentially bullying," Evans said.
"There is nothing wrong with the atheist community being aggressive, but we need to get to the root cause."
According to Evans, he's not really interested in what people believe, just as long as they resist the urge to force others to live under that belief system. "There are three things I live by: honor, integrity and loyalty. All three of those things have to exist simultaneously otherwise I am not complete and I am not living a moral life," he said. "It's based in that idea that, just by my existence, I am somewhat responsible for my fellow human brother or sister because we are all connected by the common ancestry and the evolution that brought us to this brief moment." Evans added, "I try to take full advantage with making those connections and remaining loyal to humanity as opposed to selfish deeds." True to his word, Evans and his contributors do not earn any money for their work on American Heathen. Evans built the studio and pays all the costs associated as an effort to help get the message of truth and justice out to the American people.
"If I had to narrow it down to one particular author it would definitely have to be Christopher Hitchens because he was relentless. Of course he was flawed, as all of us are, but he was a pitbull – when he grabbed hold he wasn't letting go," Evans said. "What I learned in the Marine Corps they really hammered into me: once you commit to something you stick with it, and if you are wrong you need to be the first one to admit to being wrong and not just hide." Evans said the loss of Hitchens may have been terrible, but that every atheist has the ability to speak out about issues that matter to humankind.
"Believe it or not I think people have the same misconceptions about theists as the theists do about atheists," Evans said. "We tend to judge each other based on some form of ideological perch, and we get into the habit of making ourselves superior to others; atheists are accused of intellectual snobbery and theists are accused of being stupid." He added, "We are extremely judgmental and there are times when we need to take a step back and take a second look at the circumstance to see what the bigger picture is."
Evans said one of the reasons atheists will have difficulty garnering full rights under a system free of theocracy is a lack of cohesiveness. "We don't seem to have a collective desire to inspire humanity. Wouldn't it be nice if we had our own national TV network? Unfortunately there are a lot of egos involved and there seems to be a lack of connection because we don't have that political or religious rallying point," he said. "Why not humanism? It's a very natural position: we do give a shit about each other." Evans said human mortality should be enough of a reason for people to put aside their differences and use all of mankind's science and brainpower to work to lessen suffering wherever it exists. "People don't see it. They're focusing on ideological points instead of freedom and liberty," he said.
"Many people are dying and many more are desperate to walk away from their religion but they are too afraid. Atheists can come out of the closet and live in harmony with theists – it can be done, but only if we all stand up for our rights."
Evans added, "All it takes is coming out and saying 'I don't believe.' It's amazing how liberating it is. When the conversation presents itself, and it will, just say you don't believe. Tell them to show you the evidence. Remember, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."
Evans' American Heathen emblem is an ancient letter which means "thorn." "I don't just want to be a thorn in the side of religion, but any establishment that does not stand for liberty and justice," he said. "I don't want to debate gods or ancient precepts that have no basis in fact. I want atheists and agnostics to get out of the closet and stand up for themselves because the longer they sit quietly the longer this tyranny will continue." Evans added, "There has not been a single battle in human history – whether physical or a battle of will or ideology – where people didn't get hurt along the way; that's going to happen. Yes, some people will try to harm atheists for standing up for themselves, but you can't find hope in simply relieving yourself of that responsibility."
Evans said those atheists donning suits, hair tonic and a servile attitude toward religionists are only going to make it harder on the rest of the non-believers. "It's not up to you to prove to them that you're not what they think you are," Evans said. "Too many atheists spend too much time out there trying to enhance their image. Be who you want to be and in the end you'll still be a moral person. You don't have to wear certain clothes to be a moral person, and when you try to hard you just come off like a used car salesman anyway."
"Improve you for you, not for someone else and let your conscience be your guide."
Evans said religionists, especially the judgmental types, have difficulty comprehending a moral atheists when they see one. "What's confusing to them is they can't find anything wrong and it scares them because it doesn't fit with what they've been taught – it makes them question what they thought they knew," he said."We just need to stand up and not be afraid to be ourselves." Evans added, "I get really emotional when I think about all this because it really is important to me as a human being to leave a legacy that benefits everybody as opposed to just a small group." Evans lives in Oklahoma with his wife of nearly 30 years.

Best Trailerable 22-24' Boat?

Pretty comprehensive list. I am a little surprised that there are no Catalina 22s. I believe that there were over twenty thousand built so arguably the most popular boat in its class. Bit of trivia, Frank Butler designed the Columbia 22 when he worked for them. Out of your list, I like the
Capri 22 the best. It was designed by Gary Mull in collaboration with Frank.
Mull also designed the Ranger 22 and the Santana 22. I like the
Capri for its fixed keel and (IMHO superior) cockpit layout. It rates about 30 seconds/mile faster than the swing keels and I think would be a blast to race the beer cans. The downside is there isnt much room in the cabin. But if you are looking for that trailerable pocket cruiser, you should expand your sites to the twenty five footers.

Hey! really nice paintings you have here, you definitely have an understanding of colors and I see you play well with them..
I'd recomend you to define your forms a bit more, so they don't feel so ethereal some times; like in post #1 and #3 the torsos are a bit undefined and intangible.. other than that I like the concepts! Maybe using secondary lights or rim lights could help you there.
Nice sketchbook!!

Great creativity and variety!
The only thing I can think of that I see a lot is that a lot of your stuff looks pretty 'fuzzy' instead of finished. Maybe use some more hard-edged brushes to try to get a more complete/solid look, rather than like you're seeing everything through a haze?

Q drops the official visual for "Man Of The Year," which may or may not appear on Oxymoron when it hits stores February 25.
The TDE newcomers joined for this track a few months ago. Here is the video of the down-home artiste Isaiah Rashad, done in black and white maybe to underline the plainspeak of his message. Bold but done well.
TDE's newest signees join for this soulful, smoky song.
What you thought Fredo Kruger was gonna let 10.31 pass by without dropping some new music? Read More
ScHoolboy Q releases the video for his latest single, which is anything but what the title suggests. Oxymoron has been pushed back to 2014, and may even get pushed back further if Q keeps dropping duds like these.
While Black Hippy, Top Dawg Entertainment and the Empire That Is Kendrick prepare for the tactical onslaught of music the camp will release, Ab-Soul broods. His time is nigh, but The Black Lip Pastor has shown no signs of anxiety. The unflappable, ever-cloudy emcee relays his thoughts on his upcoming project and the immense exposure his super-group has enjoyed.
Alas, the full TDE cypher from the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards. Q, Jay Rock, Ab-Soul, & Isaiah Rashad join K.Dot to rip the "Shook Ones" instrumental to shreds. Read More
it's that time of year. when the rap world comes to a screeching halt so that 34 people can freestyle during an awards show that doesn't give out awards.

Top Dawg Entertainment's president Terrence Henderson (aka "Punch") sits with homegrown radio to talk about newfound success and how they got there. Be inspired, y'all.
Q gives the streets, "Banger (MOSHPIT)," another leak from his upcoming Oxymoron album, which will be released later on in the fourth quarter. Read More
Top Dawg Entertainment artist Isaiah Rashad stuns with this boldly spare video for "I Shot You Down." His lyrics suggest inventive and gritty hood romanticism, and shrewd self-awareness. Nothing less from hip-hop's creative top dogs of late.
i wasn't even gonna speak on the lil homey kendrick at ALL at all. then this dude came completely out of his dickies to a TMZ cameraman about responses to his Instigator Verse. like, "they gotta try harder" or some other 2% milk light-weight business. that's when i was like…

The Barber of Seville
The Barber of Seville by The King's Singers. Arranged by Daryl Runswick. SATTBB A Cappella. Hal Leonard King's Singer's Choral. Choral, Classical Period, Opera and Pop Vocal. Octavo. Piano rehearsal part and performance notes. 24 pages. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.8743751).
With piano rehearsal part and performance notes. Choral, Classical Period, Opera and Pop Vocal. 6.75x10.5 inches.
This well-known overture to Rossini's opera has been a long-time favorite in King's Singers concerts. From the subdued opening theme in the strings to the rousing full-orchestra close, this instrumental work is creatively brought to life - King's Singers style. Challenging, but well worth the effort. Performance Time: Approx. 3:20.

Stanford players rally around Powell in tough time
"I feel very lucky to have the team that I have, just for that reason. It also translates onto the court, that closeness, that trust."
The 6-foot-10, 235-pound Powell always felt comfortable on The Farm and in the Bay Area. He chose Stanford over Harvard and Georgia Tech.
Yet Powell was a late bloomer when it came to basketball, first playing volleyball and competing in the high jump in track. Once Powell picked up hoops, he moved to Florida at age 16 to attend the IMG Academy and prepare for college.
He emerged as an impact player late last season for Stanford, averaging 8.8 points and 5.8 rebounds during the Cardinal's five-game NIT title run while shooting 65.4 percent from the field. He started just 11 times but played in 35 games and averaged 5.8 points and 4.6 rebounds overall.
Powell's biggest challenge so far with an increased role and more responsibility has been keeping his emotions in check. In a 70-62 loss to Belmont at home in Maples Pavilion on Nov. 18, Powell fouled out in only seven minutes - sitting down for good early in the second half.
"He's playing with a heightened focus," Dawkins said. "He's just so focused right now that my biggest thing is that he stays level and doesn't get too emotional. I talk to him a lot about it and how you approach the game - never get too high or too low."
Powell attended Canada Basketball's senior men's national team training camp in late August in Toronto. By the time he returned to Boston to see his mom, she was hospitalized and deteriorating quickly. The breast cancer had spread to her liver.
"I think she had a feeling for a couple of months but she didn't want to burden me," Powell said. "She kind of left it unattended."
Teammate and roommate Josh Huestis was the one to tell Powell he would have dear friends coming to Canada to help him in the grieving process.
"We're all really close with Dwight. He's one of my best friends," Huestis said. "Our coaches talked to us and proposed that we go out there for the funeral. All the guys thought it was a great idea. I can't imagine what he was going through. It was the right move. He was in Toronto and I had been talking to him. I told him we would be coming out there and he was really thankful for that, just to have some familiar faces around, especially in such a hard time."
It's no surprise that before and after each practice Stanford's players gather for a cheer of "Family!" These guys truly consider themselves brothers.
That Toronto trip only helped cement the bond.
"The fact we were able to go out there just brings us so much closer together," Huestis said. "It shows we're not just a team but a family, too."
The Cardinal were thrilled to capture a national championship and get the taste of winning their final game, but both Powell and Huestis called it "bittersweet."

This is the Density Scale -From Answers.com:Originally Posted by Donald Miller
A value for the range density for a photographic material that corresponds to the difference between the maximum density and the minimum density. Also known as net density.
It's the y-axis on the BTZS software.
You're comparing apples and oranges when you ask that question.
The Azo and pt-pd paper have a low contrast, hence the greater exposure scale than greade 2 silver paper. Combine this with negatives that have a high density range, and you get a print of normal reproduction range.
The Azo print will produce the neg with greater d-max than the pt-pd, but the same range of exposure scale is recorded onto the paper. (By the way, my Ilford MG IV FB with grade 00 can print that same negative exposure scale range.)
I'm sure PE can explain the multiplication of negative and paper gradients/contrasts to come up with a normal reproduction range and how it applies to this question better than I...

It is used in cosmetics, medicines for humans and other animals, as well as in safe antifreeze.

By John Ternenyi - There are many great trainers in the sport of boxing. Legendary trainers such as Freddie Roach and Emmanuel Steward have led many great fighters to World Championships and International Boxing Hall of Fame inductions. Currently there is a trainer who does not have the fame, or recognition of some of these esteemed trainers, but after January 24, 2009, he will undoubtedly have the same reputation as a Freddie Roach or Emmanuel Steward..
His name is Nazim Richardson. For many years, Richardson has been the assistant trainer for Bernard The Executioner Hopkins. When Hopkins fired Bouie Fischer, Nazim Richardson stepped up to the plate. Richardsons first test as head trainer was Bernard Hopkinss rematch win Jermaine Taylor, the man who six months earlier upset the veteran for the right to be called the Undisputed Middleweight Champion. Richardson failed his first test, albeit controversial, in leading Bernard Hopkins to victory.
Nazim Richardson proved that failing to lead Bernard Hopkins to the promise land was the exception rather than the rule. Ever since then, Richardson has been golden. He led Bernard Hopkins to the Light Heavyweight division where he usurped the king of the division Antonio Magic Man Tarver. After this fight, Bernard Hopkins defeated Ronald Winky Wright to a unanimous decision. Nazim Richardson, unfortunately suffered a mild stroke, therefore he was not present during the Hopkins vs. Calzaghe bout. These two fights were impressive, but they were outdone by these two recent performances.
Bernard Hopkins was the underdog against rising star and Middleweight Champion Kelly Pavlik. Kelly Pavlik was undefeated with impressive knockout victories over Edison Miranda and Jermaine Taylor. Whether anybody agrees with the ringside judges or not, Bernard Hopkins has had problems with faster, stronger opponents who do not let Hopkinss style deter them from trying to out work him, i.e. Jermaine Taylor and Joe Calzaghe. Not only did Bernard Hopkins defeat Pavlik, but he dominated him. In my opinion Hopkins won every round in this fight. The other fight was the recent Margarito vs. Mosely match. Margarito was the current number one fighter in the welterweight division by destroying Miguel Cotto via eleventh round TKO. Sugar Shane Mosley is similar to Miguel Cotto. Both are similar sizes and similar styles. Nazim Richardson noticed Antonio Margaritos weaknesses and exploited them. He laid out a perfect game plan against Margarito. This was perhaps Mosleys greatest performance in years, as was Bernard Hopkinss performance against Kelly Pavilk.
As much respect I have for the boxers, I have just as much respect for the trainers. The trainers are the brains behind the fighters. They help the boxer lay out a game plan. When something goes wrong with the game plan during the fight, it is the trainers job to tweak or adjust the game plan. Nazim Richardson has proven to be just as great as any world class trainer. Nazim Richardson ought to be proud of his fighters performances.
