Subtlety certainly has it's time and place, but so does waking around with your giant rack hanging out. Jessica Simpson and I agree that the time and place for that second one is all the time and everywhere, even arriving at LAX from Australia over the weekend. The only down side of this bold confidence is that it brings up the issue that Jessica Simpson may be a little too hot and sexy. My penis is almost scared, and...read more
Some people online are making snide comments because Brad Pitt cut his hair into a mohawk, just like Angelina Jolie's son Maddox. As if they would ever say no to Angelina Jolie, regardless of whatever crazy shit she thought up for them to do. Hell I did the same thing one time when my girlfriend asked me too. Unfortunately she had a daughter, so I had to wear pigtails and a Brownie uniform. But it wasn't that bad...read more
Lindsay Lohan is said to be planning a trip to Kenya to visit locals infected with AIDS and suffering some of the most abject poverty on the planet. The 19-year-old will fly to the East African nation in co-ordination with the charity group 'One Campaign'.

Slow news day + slow news week = non stories about 'Entourage' and the rumor that the unfunniest show on TV is desperately striving to become even unfunnier, and may replace Jeremy Piven, who plays agent Ari Gold, with underrated heat Carla Gugino, who just signed a deal to appear on 6 episodes playing an agent trying to steal Golds top client and show star Vincent Chase.

Last week, Paula Abdul filed a police report stating that she was assaulted at the bar 'Xenii' in LA by CAA agent Jim Lefkowitz, an assault that left her with a concussion and spinal injuries.

So what is the truth behind the breathless Us Magazine cover this week declaring a war between Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Simpson? The genesis is this: Lindsay Lohan has been spending time with 'X-Men 3' director Brett Ratner since late March. Ratner is also the director of Jessica's 'These Boots Are Made For Walking' video, and the three of them independently ended up at new LA hotspot the Dime last Thursday. Ratner...read more

The San Jose chapter of Reasons to Believe will show and discuss the DVD 'Flight: The Genius of Birds.' "Flight is a brand new and spectacular wildlife documentary. It is an exploration of the animal kingdom from a perspective ignored by television and the scientific establishment. Instead of presenting a worldview based upon the blind, undirected process of Darwinian evolution, Flight offers a compelling look at the design and purpose woven throughout the fabric of life on Earth. Hummingbirds, starlings, and Arctic terns especially reveal compelling design features."
Sponsored by Reasons to Believe, a group where 'science and faith converge.' Founded by astrophysicist and pastor Dr. Hugh Ross, organizers come many spectrums of the scientific field as well as philosophy, theology, archaeology, etc. Local San Jose chapter meetings are sometimes led by professors from Berkeley or Stanford. Ron and I have enjoyed being exposed to new concepts on things as tiny as the atom up to the size of the universe; cells and DNA. As Christians we find it supportive; for those who hold different beliefs or none at all, it's a good place to see what the 'opposition' is thinking these days.
RTB's website has section/categories geared to a range of people -- believers in the Bible, those with doubts, and those who decidedly don't believe. Check it out at
We'll gather at Le Boulangere in Los Altos starting at 5:45 for a quick supper -- sandwiches, salad, soup are available -- before the meeting, and arrive at the church just a few minutes before 7 for the film and discussion. 301 Main St Los Altos, CA 94022 Just arrive when you can. Please let us know if you plan to go there.

I have to say when I first processed my booking and a mistake was made I was concerned as i was reading previous reviews of TravelcentreUK. Some reviews started to concern me but after speaking with the staff i was made comfortable and on completion my etickets were with me in 15 minutes. Most people are concerned about being ripped off and that's natural - I felt the same but in the end all went well. All in all i would certainly recommend these guys and in fact i saved quite a bit of money compared to the mainstream companies. Weary to begin but more than satisfied by the end. Going to check for accommodation deals with them now!

Robert Dominguez, lead database administrator (DBA) and database architect at Ingalls Shipbuilding, was recently featured as "Role Model of the Week" on the Great Minds in STEM website.
The Great Minds in STEM Role Model of the Week is an online feature that highlights Hispanic engineers, scientists and technologists in academia, industry, military and the government. Selected from hundreds of nominees submitted for the annual Hispanic Engineer National Achievement Awards Corporation (HENAAC) awards, the role models are recognized for their innovation and advancement of technological capacity in their various STEM fields.
"As lead database administrator for Ingalls Shipbuilding, Rob has daily responsibility of all DBAs and their statement of work to support Ingalls," said John Franovich, Ingalls' manager of software development. "Rob exemplifies a subservient leader and leads by example. He is always mentoring younger DBAs in addition to his daily DBA responsibilities. Rob is a pleasure to work with and a great asset to Ingalls."
Dominguez has had an accomplished career in several STEM positions. Acting as contributor, manager, lead technologist and consultant throughout his career, Dominguez has more than 25 years of experience in systems architecture. With a bachelor's degree in computer science from University of South Alabama, he has become a leader in STEM both at Ingalls and in the Hispanic community. In 2012, he was honored with a HENAAC Luminary Award, an award that recognizes STEM leaders who initiate key programs and research in their companies.

The legendary musician was there to make a historic announcement. Joel will become the New York's City venue's first ever resident performer. Since 1978, the Piano Man has played 46 shows at MSG. And come January, Joel will play one concert every month as long as there is demand, according to Heavy.com. Joel's MSG residency performances begin on January 27, with additional dates already scheduled for February 3, March 21 and April 18. All of those dates are sold out, the next available tickets are for his show on May 9, reports USA Today. He hasn't performed a solo gig in the US since 2008, though he has been playing to fans in the UK and Ireland in preparation for this residency. Billy will be in a New York state of mind come New Year's Eve when he plays a one night stand at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

I can marginally tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi, but aside from Vanilla Coke, I don't have a preference of one over the other. Diet Pepsi and Coke taste basically the same though, and I seem to drink more of that than the regular stuff.
Any other type of carbonated drink, though, I can tell you the brand almost right away. Whether it be Root Beer, Citrusy (7-Up, Sprite, etc.) or something fruity (Crush, Fanta, C Plus, etc.), I seem to be able to recognize those flavors better.

Second Bank of the United States
A who's who of Revolutionary War-era portraiture
The Experience
This place packs a large punch in a relatively small space. Most important, it played a pivotal role in American history (see History, below). It's also a genuine architectural treasure -modeled on the Parthenon and the standard-bearer for many subsequent American bank buildings.
Finally, it's the repository for an extraordinary collection of portraits of the men so vital to 18th-century America's development. Included in that list: Declaration of Independence signers Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Mifflin, and Robert Morris; and paintings of Lafayette, Patrick Henry, and Casimir Pulaski.
The Second Bank earned its place in history in 1832, when President Andrew Jackson vetoed a bill seeking to re-charter the Bank because he viewed it as an unconstitutional monopoly. Running for reelection, Jackson made his anti-bank stance a critical issue of his campaign and handily defeated opponent Henry Clay.
Other Information
Open Wednesday – Sunday
Insider Tip
Eighty-five of the portraits on view here are by Charles Willson Peale, early America's most famous portraitist.
Kids' stuff
Kids will be intrigued by the pine sculpture of George Washington, as well as his original death mask.

When I was a teenager, during the late 1960s, I kept track of the death toll from vehicle accidents on Minnesota roads. I suppose it was because I was a teenager, and had lost friends in accidents, but every year, that number crept towards 1,000, until it finally reached 1,060 in 1968.
It's hard to imagine 1,000 people killed on Minnesota roads, because that number has been slashed since the '60s. Last year around 400 people were killed on Minnesota roads, which was a jump from the 361 killed in 2014.
The reasons less people are dying on Minnesota roads, and on roads throughout the U.S. include: decreased speed limits (until recently anyway); safer roads; and, safer cars.
All of these factors were brought about because of government action. Our government, wisely, decided traffic safety is a public safety issue and made car manufacturers install seat belts and enacted laws, in 34 states anyway, that required all front seat occupants, to wear them. Cars are designed to withstand crashes with the passenger compartment somewhat protected. Many cars have automatic door locks and other safety features to protect children. Children, in fact, have to sit in approved safe seating, etc. Glass shatters on impact without sharp edges, and the list goes on and on and has to include the increase in awareness and enforcement of DUI laws.
Roads also have built in safety features including wider shoulders and safer ditches with gentler banks and fewer obstacles for cars that go in the ditch.
Safety experts agree that these laws, and others, are primarily responsible for the drastic decline in vehicle fatalities.
But what would have happened if an organization, let's call it the National Car Owners' Association (NCOA) bribed lawmakers to ignore public safety and not pass these laws requiring safer cars and roads? What if the NCOA handed out cash to our senators and congresspeople to "protect" the rights of responsible car owners to drive unencumbered of seat belts, door locks, child seats, speed limits, or sobriety?
Let's say the NCOA finds justification for these "rights" in the United States Declaration of Independence which guarantees the right to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," in the 9th Ammendent to the Constitution as well as the 14th Amendment.
The 9th Amendment protects individuals from "Federal infringement of unenumerated rights," and the 14th Ammendement protects individuals from the States doing the same.
Unenumerated rights are legal rights inferred from other legal rights that are officiated in a retrievable form codified by law institutions, such as in written constitutions, but are not themselves expressly coded or "enumerated" among the explicit writ of the law.
What does that mean? Who knows, it was written a long time ago when people had the time to read and figure it all out, but we sure as hell better not risk violating it!
And what if the NCOA punished lawmakers who dared consider laws violating these "rights." They punished them the only way they legally could by pouring money and support into opposition candidates.
Could you imagine the carnage if there were none of these common sense safety features and at the same time, cars got bigger, faster, and more numerous?
Of course, by now you know what I am getting at. The National Rifle Association (NRA) has been holding public safety hostage in the interests of political power and their gun manufacturing backers since their rise to power on May 22, 1077 when a group of gun radicals took over the annual meeting of the NRA in Cincinnati and changed it from a sportsmen organization into a political powerhouse. They considered the old NRA too interested in hunting, and target shooting.
Sort of like if the NCOA took over the National Hot Rod Association because they were too concerned about car shows and driver's education.
It's far, far, beyond the time we stop this nonsense! Perhaps a few more slaughters like Orlando will finally tip the balance. The NRA and their supporters had better get onboard with sensible gun control measures or the public will someday demand less sensible ones.

Some time in the next few days a five-year diplomatic standoff will end when New Zealand and Fiji appoint high commissioners to each other's capital.
OPINION: Neither country has been represented at the highest level in the other's territory since 2007, when Fiji expelled then high commissioner Michael Green.
The pending appointments, which follow the relaxation of travel bans on some government members and officials, confirm a gradual warming of relations as the Bainimarama regime has taken baby steps towards the restoration of democracy.
Elections, once promised for 2009, are now scheduled for 2014, a five-person commission has drafted a new constitution and New Zealand has funded a voter registration programme.
However, the regime's demand last month that a newspaper editor be jailed for six months for reprinting a New Zealand newspaper article that reported criticism of Fiji shows the country still has a way to go before its people enjoy the rights and freedoms their neighbours in the South Pacific take for granted.
Commodore Bainimarama and his henchmen pay lip service to the notion of press freedom, just as they pay lip service to the rule of law, but woe betide anyone within their reach who challenges their authority. Beatings in the army's Queen Elizabeth barracks have been replaced by oppressive legal action.
The regime's sensitivity to criticism suggests there will be many bumps in the road before Fijians once again take control of their destiny.
Nevertheless the upgrading of diplomatic links is warranted.
So is the assistance Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Murray McCully has promised Fiji in the wake of Cyclone Evan. New Zealand's beef is with the regime that installed itself at the point of a gun, not the Fijian people. The Constitution Commission's recommendations offer some hope of progress. They have still to be officially released but the commission has reportedly proposed the axing of separate seats for indigenous Fijians and those of Indian descent, and the creation of a new body to elect future presidents.
Few outside Fiji would question the wisdom of scrapping a racially divisive electoral system or the creation of a nationally representative body to perform tasks once performed by the Great Council of Chiefs whose membership was composed entirely of hereditary chiefs. However, two issues have still to be resolved – the future role of the coup-happy military and the regime's insistence that its members be granted immunity for all acts committed during and since the 2006 coup.
While the military retains the power to overthrow governments with which it disagrees, democracy will remain fragile and while legal action against coup leaders remains a possibility they will remain reluctant to hand over the reins of power.
To make progress, Fijians and Fiji's critics may have to sacrifice principle for practicality.

College News
Knitting Love and Warmth
For two years now, a group of faculty and staff of St. John Fisher College have been meeting once a month with baskets of yarn and warm fingers.
It started out as a small group, meeting at each other's homes on occasion to knit and crochet under the guidance of Dr. Tam Spitzer, Emerita Professor of Psychology. But it has since turned into a larger group, and they call themselves the Fisher Yarn Circle.
This year, they took on a service project for the Anthony Jordan Health Center, where Dr. Asim Abu-Baker, Associate Professor in the Wegmans School of Pharmacy, has a practice site. It is also a practice site for the Wegmans School of Nursing. They collaborated with the Calvary St. Andrew's Shawl Ministry.
The group heard about the need for baby blankets at the center, as well as other items including hats and scarves. And before Thanksgiving, they created and donated a total of 83 items to the center to distribute to families in need.
The Anthony Jordan Health Center offers a variety of services to Rochester families including: adolescent medicine; dentistry; eye care and treatment; family medicine; foot care; HIV prevention and primary care; obstetrics/gynecology; pediatrics; pharmacy; and women, infants and children (WIC) supplemental nutrition program.

Following their meeting at the renowned Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 2013, Sarah Jarosz and The Milk Carton Kids have pursued a collaboration with a depth and identity all its own. Their initial performances (on Austin City Limits and at Lincoln Center's American Songbook Series) have been widely heralded for the seamless harmony of the three singers, the unassailable virtuosity of the players, and the obvious if uncommon chemistry the young artists have found with one another. This Fall, they are presenting it, fully realized for the first time, in a limited tour of some of the country's finest symphony halls and performing arts theaters.

One of the elements of design every photographer should know about is texture, which refers to the surface quality or "feel" of an object - smooth, rough, soft, etc.
On this photowalk, we would like you to seek out photographs of different textures around Bur Dubai, for instance, the surface of a metal grill, or the sand in an empty lot. If you need inspiration, or are looking for examples of photographs where textures are prominent, take a look this link.
We will meet at 4:30 PM above Exit 3 of the Al Fahidi metro station, on the green line. If you need help finding us, call the EPyC hotline on 052 9288432. Parking will be limited, so public transport is strongly recommended. Once we meet, your hosts will say a few words, and then you will be free to wander around, either by yourself on in a group. The sun will set at 6:17 PM, so if you want to stay out for a long time, look for well-lit surfaces or carry a tripod.
When you are finished, upload up to five of your five best shots here. We will be asking you to critique each other's work, so make sure you only post images where textures are prominent.
Helo Nitin, Almost all members who participated in this meet have posted their photos. In this regard I would like to have your expert opinion after analysis which photos are not actualy Textures and which one is good Texture. Otherwise no one will get know that he has done right or wrong.

Engranon's Reviews > Fleece Navidad
Fleece Navidad (A Knitting Mystery, # 6)
by Maggie Sefton
by Maggie Sefton
Engranon's review
Jan 10, 2010
Read in January, 2010
Yes, more "popcorn" reading. I admit that I like the break that Maggie Sefton's Knitting Mysteries provide. As with all the others, I figured out whodunit long before the last potluck, but I didn't really care. This one had some elements that seemed a little less polished than some of the other books. While it was about time that Kelly and Steve got together, the increased sexual innuendo really didn't thrill me.

Perhaps the most important addition to my Grandaddy collection,
This review is from: Excerpts From The Diary Of Todd Zilla (Audio CD)
Heartbreaking....We have all lost a valley son...Jason Lytles sings his goodbyes & they reflect his sense of irony,loss,anger,sadness,sarcasm,
pain,being used,lost & down & swearing at despair and yet,throughout his journey,he maintains great musical integrity to create a mini album,a masterpiece,of real beauty.
It's such an emotional album that perhaps I don't play it as often as I should,& I have to be in a reflective mood to really appreciate the depth of feeling.It's strange how the saddest songs can sometimes be so uplifting.My favourite tracks are; a valley son (sparing),cinderland & goodbye?....

Summer Festival Vibes: River Island Plus Lace Bardot Dress
A few months ago the online plus size community was abuzz with the news that fast fashion high street giant River Island was finally introducing a plus size line. The growing power of plus size fashionistas is being noticed by the trendiest of the high street retailers, and our choices are growing. Plus size women are now offered a wider variety of fashion options and looks - a far cry from the tunics and cartoon printed hanky hem tees of ten years ago!

Emerald Goddess Realness: Studio 8 Silk Neptune Maxi Dress
Every time the team at Studio 8 invite me to view their upcoming collections I fall in love with something. This time last year I went to see their upcoming AW pieces and fell head over heels for the Green Yvette Lace dress. Then just before Christmas I went to see what they would have in store for us in SS16. Despite it being a rainy, miserable day and me being bundled up in a coat and scarf, this silk maxi in brilliant green was a promise of summer glamour. I have pretty much obsessed about it since I saw it, and have bugged the team over at Studio 8 on a monthly basis to find out when it was hitting stores. As part of my series of posts about SS occasion wear I am going to show you how I would style this dress for a summery wedding.

TUF 'The Smashes' Episode 2 opened at the end of the first fight with Team UK's Norman Parke and Australia's Xavier Lucas having a heated argument. The fighters returned to the house, and the UK team started saying niggling to comments to the Australian fighter they've labelled "Fox Piss," Ben Wall.
"I'm normally a lot louder, but I've been a bit quiet so far in the house," said Wall. "They don't know how to take me and that will be an advantage in the fight."
UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos made a surprise visit to the TUF gym and met with both teams.
"Congratulations for being here," JDS told Team UK. "It's a big step being here and I hope to see all you guys in the UFC."
Team Australia was shocked when the UFC champion walked into the room. "The Australian team were much more happy to see me," JDS said. He then went on to tell the Australian team what the UFC bosses are after in a fighter.
UK coach Ross Pearson spoke with the injured Michael Pastou to reveal the news about his status in the TUF house. "The UFC want you to go home," Pearson said. "I didn't want you to go. Just go home, see your family and heal up."
"It's heartbreaking," Pastou said about leaving. "It's everything I've worked for." Later that night, Pastou packed his bags and said his final goodbyes before leaving the TUF house for good.
Team UK headed to the gym and concentrated on their grappling. Colin "The Freak Show" Fletcher, who likes to dress as a clown, decided to play a prank, climbing up and adding a mustache, pirate patch and a nipple ring to Australian coach George Sotiropoulos' portrait photo on the wall.
When Sotiropoulos entered the gym, he noticed the edits to his portrait.
"He disrespected our coach. He is disrespecting somebody we are looking up to," said Australian team member Xavier Lucas.
"They're a bunch of clowns," Sotiropoulos said. "They can play the game."
The two teams came together at the gym for the fight announcement. With Australia winning the first fight, they maintained control and Sotiropoulos chose Ben Wall (AUS) vs Colin Fletcher (UK).
With Pastou on his way home, Team UK's new lightweight, Brendan Loughnane, entered the house. "I didn't expect to be here," the 22-year-old said. "Two days ago, I was sitting on the couch at home, but now I'm in the house with them."
After studying Fletcher's record, Sotiropoulos and Wall went to work on striking and defending chokes with "The Freak Show's" record showing he loves to finish off fights with his modified guillotine.
Team UK seemed adamant on putting a beating on "Fox Piss," with Fletcher predicting a choke, after UK coaches noticing Wall likes to put his neck out there when defending takedowns.
Both fighters made weight: Ben Wall (155.5 lbs) vs. Colin Fletcher (156 lbs).
"Is he still happy?" Sotiropoulos asked Pearson following the weigh-in. Pearson replied, "Course he's happy."
Ben Wall (AUS) vs Colin Fletcher (UK):
Round 1 - Wall looked for a takedown off the start and had Fletcher pinned against the cage. Fletcher took Wall's neck and escaped, with Fletcher looking to land knees from the clinch. Both fighters battled for position and Wall landed a stinging uppercut. Wall landed another combination before Fletcher unleashed more knees. Wall landed a jab on the break and tied it up again, taking Fletcher to the mat. But Fletcher took top position, landing elbows and hammer fists with Wall scrambling on his back. Fletcher looked for the choke, but Wall was saved by the bell. (10-9 Fletcher)
Round 2 - Fletcher opened the round with kicks, while Wall was first to land with his jab and stunned Fletcher. Wall fought behind his jab, keeping the distance and scoring with punches. Wall had Fletcher backpedaling, but a solid shot cut Wall, who was bleeding from his nose. Wall moved forward, but Fletcher again looked for the neck, landing knees from the clinch. Fletcher had the better of the encounters to close out the fight strong. (10-9 Fletcher)
Colin Fletcher def. Ben Wall via Unanimous Decision
"I have a newfound respect for Ben," Fletcher said post-fight. "He took some huge knees."

How do you feel about self-proclaimed "straight-acting" gay guys who go out of their way to explain or show that they are manly, not effeminate, and even show disdain for transgender related things? Are they trying to seem less pejorative?
Currently, I could give two [ohmycensorships] about if anyone considers me masculine or effeminate, but I'm more masculine so.... yeah. That's cool. I like it that way. :3
But before, I was totally one of those insecure guys. But I've learned just to not care. And I say that with the upmost emphasis on exasperation. Masculinity and being manly isn't everything, and you know what? What's me is me and I have better things to do then freak out about something as silly as masculinity.
How far would you go for supporting a friend who is gay? Like if they were going to a gay bar for the first time and wanted you for moral support, or they invited you to a Marty Gras parade. Where do you draw the line?
To the point where if I wasn't interested in them, I would make sure our relationship was purely platonic and understgood mutally to be such.
If the tables were flipped though, I wouldn't ask a straight guy.... actually, I don't know. I have a couple of straight guy friends who would probably take of their shirt and dance.
But most likely I'd take my best friend, most likely female, for moral support. No weird "should we be advancing romantically" feelings that way. Or better yet, a boyfriend if I had one!
