I would give them a bible for their birthday and send them off to church.
Honestly, I would be happy. The worst thing anyone can do is cover up who they really are. Accept yourself, be yourself, what more could any parent want? I would just be happy that they had the guts to talk to me.
It would be fine if I had a lesbian daughter.
nO DOUBT i WOULD LOVE THEM, IN FACT i WOULD WORK EXTRA HARD TO SHOW THEM MY LOVE SINCE IT'S A HARD WORLD FOR HOMOSEXUALS.
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
Have Problems?... Chances are its due to overpopulation
Save The Oceans, Save the Planet, Save Your Family, Save Yourself!

Personally, I wouldn't give a shit. I wouldn't want a son that was feminine, regardless of whether they were gay or not. But if he was gay and didn't walk like a girl, or talk with a lisp, or walk around limp-wristed all the time I wouldn't care.
If he was feminine, I would treat him just like my other children. He would probably just annoy me from time to time.
Life is what you make of it, not what it makes you...TAKE CHARGE!
Why are you people so accepting of queers? No wonder America is going down the shitter.
You know, studies have shown that homophobic people are more likely to be aroused by gay porn than people who are not homophobic. It is a form of denial and scapegoating.
"queers" do not hurt other people by their choice to buttfuck each other. Why does someone else's decision, which doesn't affect your life one bit, make you so angry? Why do you hate something that doesn't fucking effect you at all? Gay people work, contribute to the economy, are far less likely to rape your wife, molest your children, rob your house, or murder you.
Its funny that there is a correlation between homophobes and violent offenders. I think you have some unresolved psychological issues that are causing you to blow a fuse there buddy. Do you secretly want to suck dick? I bet you do. I bet you hate that about yourself so you project it onto gays to keep from dealing with it.
I use to make fun of gay people, because I was taught that they were subhuman. After I moved out of small-town ignorance, I eventually met some gay people for the first time, and you know what? They are regular people. They just want to live their lives without people like you slinging hate at them. I might still poke fun and make a joke here and there, but the truly hateful shit like what you say offends me, because you are talking about people that I am proud to call my friends.
I'm not afraid of gay people, I just dislike them and have an extreme disgust with the acts they perform. I couldn't look at my kid knowing he stuck his dick in another guys ass. I don't watch gay porn. Yes, I have seen lesbian porn on a friends computer a long time ago. It's not appealing to me and I don't get off on it. Maybe someone should do a study on the immorality of homosexuality.
I would not care in the slightest bit.

Shoppers are interested in purchasing healthier groceries, but they also want these products to be affordable and taste good, an SN consumer survey reveals.

Only 14% said fat content was not a consideration when purchasing food. The survey was conducted for SN by America's Research Group, ...

"It takes Todd Akin on St. Louis TV to get Obama to go meet the press for the first time in two months? Not the unemployment rate? Not the sad state of the US economy? Not the building threat of Iran or China? This is why we have to replace this man and his entire regime."
"There's a contempt for Romney that's held by Obama and Michelle Obama. There is a personal, visceral dislike for Romney. And I know why. Romney personifies everything wrong with this country, in Obama's view."
"I know what Todd Akin was trying to say, but, I'm sorry. If he can't 'splain it, then get out! It's not that hard to say, 'It's not the baby's fault.' Just say that instead of this rigmarole about the woman's body 'shuts down'? For crying out loud! Aaaugh! Where are some brains? Just get some brains! Let's have some people we can look up to in office!"
"I have two natural tendencies. One is to avoid the pack, to avoid the conventional wisdom. When everybody seems to be uttering, voicing, doing the same thing, that's when I put on the brakes and say, "Do I want to join this mob?" And I also have, as you well know, a tendency to want to support conservatives who come under fire. It doesn't happen enough."
"One of the reasons why the double standard exists in the way Republicans in public life or conservatives in public life are treated versus liberal Democrats, is very simple to me, too. We have made it plain that we care about truth. We have made it plain that we care about honesty. We've made it plain we care about integrity and we care about virtue."
"Now, notice, folks, what prompted Obama to hold a so-called impromptu news conference. The Akin comment. Obama hasn't talked to the press other than People magazine or George Clooney or Entertainment Tonight in two months. The Akin comment prompts Obama to go to White House pressroom for 22 minutes."
"We are not unified in our desire to rid the earth of socialists. They are unified in their desire to rid the world of us. Politically. And as such, we have no unity on our side and a different purpose altogether."
"You want to talk about stupid? How about the economic policies running this country? They are stupid! They are indefensible, and they are stupid. The economic policies led by this administration, they are indefensible and they are stupid, and they are causing real damage and real harm to real people."
"I think there are a lot of things here larger than single individuals. Saving the country, from our perspective, is at the top of that. Repealing Obamacare is at the top of that. And any distraction that makes it tougher to vote for Romney and Ryan is something that we don't need."
"Everybody who is interested in the concept, the objective of saving this country as founded, has got to put every other personal concern aside, and that needs to be number one, particularly people in politics."
"Our society has been chickified profoundly, compared to when you and I grew up, folks."
"This is why Obama targets the youth. They don't know. They don't remember America. They haven't been taught America. To them, Obama and the Democrats are America. And that's why we have to save this nation for them."
"Romney is the classic illustration of a power elite that's been running this country from the days that it was founded. Romney personifies that. Romney is everything Obama dislikes about this country."
"If there is an economic rebound, and Romney is president, it's gonna be because Romney gets rid of the -- dare I say it? -- chains and shackles that Obama has put on this economy."
"I'm tired of stupidity in politics. I'm tired of it! I'm tired of being smarter than the leaders in this country. I want people I can look up to, not people that embarrass me. In both parties. I'm sick and tired of being smarter than all these people."
"I've always been amused at the double standard that exists. People that actually treat women with disrespect, people that actually do sexually assault women, people that treat them with profound disrespect are somehow heralded as great on women's issues and so forth."
"The fact is, folks, that this election's bigger than any single candidate. It's bigger than any double standard. It's bigger than any debate point that one might try to make and win because this election is about saving the nation."
"How would you like to be the mayor of Detroit, Dave Bing, and you get up and the mayor of New York says, 'Hey, all you illegals, we're gonna send you to Detroit. You survive seven years there, not taking any federal or state money, and you qualify for citizenship.' This guy needs to be moved into the Joe Biden Memorial Insanity Clinic. And there is going to be one of those if this keeps up.
"All of this 'Hope and Change,' and all of this messianic stuff, all of this that attached itself to Obama in '08 is over. It's done with. And they are in trouble."
"There isn't going to be an economic recovery if Obama wins! The only way there's gonna be a recovery as if Obama loses, and Romney wipes out a bunch of economic policies that are currently in place, and if we repeal Obamacare. Otherwise there isn't gonna be a recovery, as we've known them in the past. It's laughable."
"It is blatantly stupid if the president of the United States thinks that by just sitting there and doing nothing after what he's already done, there's gonna be some magical economic recovery, and it's gonna happen next year or the year after that."
"When you hear that a 56-year-old Democrat has admitted to having sex with a 17-year-old boy at a rest stop? Meh! What's unusual about that? It just doesn't register. 'So?' It's not that big a deal when a Democrat does it, and the Democrats know it."

According to an interview with the man himself, he'll be back in January:
Dnevnik.hr: Is CroCop back?
Mirko: CroCop is recovered, it will take a month to begin with sparrings again, although I have a special helmet for protection. The stripes are affecting my visibility so it's not like the real thing, but the regular sparring sessions start in about a month.
I think my next fight is going to happen in January.
Interesting. The only PPV scheduled for January right now is UFC 80. At this point in time, who could Cro Cop face?
Gonzaga, Werdum, Kongo, Nogueira, and Sylvia are most likely off the list of opponents for Cro Cop's return. You have to think Brandon Vera's probably out for a few months with the broken hand as well. Will they give him another Eddie Sanchez type of fight? How about Andrei Arlovski?
If the UFC knows what's good for them, they'll give Cro Cop a striker next. They need an exciting fight out of the guy considering all the hype around him when he was first coming in. Give him a chance to do what he does best, which is kick people in the head. A fight with Arlovski, win or lose, has the possibility to be an exciting one that would get fans buzzing.

During the monthlong trial in federal court in San Jose, Calif., Apple accused Samsung of violating patents on smartphone features such as universal search. Samsung denied wrongdoing.

Action - Revolver
Action Type - Single Action
Caliber - 7.62x38R
Barrel Length - 4-1/2"
Weight - 2.1 Lbs.
The Nagant M1895 Revolver is a seven-shot, gas-seal revolver designed and produced by Belgian industrialist Léon Nagant for the Russian Empire. The Nagant M1895 is chambered for a proprietary cartridge, 7.62x38R, and featured an unusual gas-seal system in which the cylinder moved forward when the gun was cocked to close the gap between the cylinder and the barrel, providing a boost to the muzzle velocity of the fired projectile, and allows the weapon to be silenced, an unusual ability for a revolver. The cartridge has a long case with a tapered mouth and the bullet is seated inside the case below the cartridge case rim. The distinctive shape and name helped it achieve cult status in Russia as well as becoming highly collectible in the US. This Soviet revolver features checkered wooden grips with a lanyard ring and a fixed blade front sight with a rear groove. Its grips, metal, and bore are all in very good condition.

Kate Middleton Is Admitted To The Hospital To Give Birth To Royal Heir
For weeks royal watchers have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the heir to the throne, and early this morning local time Kate Middleton was admitted to the hospital in London.
The baby will be the third in line for the throne behind his or her father Prince William and grandfather, Prince Charles.
Officials at royal residence Clarence House issued the following statement: "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge has been admitted to St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London in the early stages of labour. The Duchess travelled by car from Kensington Palace to the Lindo Wing at St. Mary's Hospital with The Duke of Cambridge."
Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, will give birth in the same place that the late Princess Diana had her two sons, William and Harry.
When the baby finally arrives, a formal notice will be posted on an easel outside of Buckingham Palace, announcing the infant's weight and gender.

Chicago, IL (October 1, 2007)—Matthew Hunnicutt has been named as the new Director of the Office of Assistance Ministry for the Archdiocese of Chicago. Hunnicutt will report to Jan Slattery, the Director of the Office for the Protection of Children and Youth, and is replacing Ralph Bonaccorsi, who has retired after 15 years.
In his new role, which includes the responsibilities formerly handled by an Archdiocesan Clinical Coordinator, Hunnicutt will direct the services of the office to provide timely assistance, support and resources to those affected by sexual abuse as minors by a priest, deacon or others who minister in the Archdiocese of Chicago. Hunnicutt will oversee the referrals to therapists and spiritual counselors trained in helping victim-survivors of sexual abuse with their healing process. He will also advise parish staff members who are often confronted with parishioners' concerns about clerical sexual abuse incidents that may have occurred years earlier.
Most recently, Hunnicutt was employed as the Director of Child Protective Services with Catholic Charities in Chicago. During his 17-year tenure, he focused on supervising, investigating and training co-workers who investigated child abuse and neglect claims for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS).
Hunnicutt is also a licensed clinical social worker, and speaks English and Spanish. While at Catholic Charities, he also taught English as a Second Language to adult immigrants at Chicago's Truman College.
Hunnicutt holds two master's degrees: a Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Lesley College in Cambridge, MA. He earned his bachelor's degree in Spanish from Indiana State University. Hunnicutt resides in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood and attends Lakeview's Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church.

"When you disrespect Miami, you can't be allowed into any arena, restaurant, club, or even McDonald's to get a burger." ~Uncle Luke
If Luke Campbell had his way, Lil Wayne would be banned from all of Miami's clubs and restaurants. That's because Uncle Luke is less than impressed by Weezy's recent verbal attack on the Miami Heat. Now, Uncle Luke says the right thing for Miami natives – like Rick Ross and DJ Khaled – to do is check Weezy for disrespecting their city.
Uncle Luke recollected Suge Knight doing the same back in 1992. That's when the Death Row Records founder flew to Miami to patch things up with the Too Live Crew creator – after Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg dissed Luke. Know why? Because the men were forced to cancel a string of 305 area concert dates, because of the beef.
Here's what Uncle Luke told The Miami Times:
"He has no respect for the city because people in Miami's entertainment industry — from local radio DJs to South Beach nightclub promoters to the Heat's front office — spread their legs for him and every out-of-town celebrity who rolls through town. Lil Wayne treats Miami like his b*tch because people let him.
When Weezy claimed he was thrown out of the Heat home game versus the Lakers, the franchise tried to downplay the incident, saying they only asked him to leave and he left on his own. That was a b*tch move.
Hell, I want to know what Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, and all these so-called 305 rappers who hang with Lil Wayne have to say about him disrespecting our home team. They need to set Lil Wayne straight.
When you disrespect Miami, you can't be allowed into any arena, restaurant, club, or even McDonald's to get a burger. And you better not show your face in the hood. None of this bullsh*t would have happened under my watch.
In 1992, when I had a beef with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, they had to cancel a concert in Miami. For years, they couldn't set foot in the 305 because it was so hot. Suge Knight had to come down and smoke a peace pipe with me."
Does Wezzy have any respect for William "Rick Ross" Roberts and DJ Khlaed? Of course not. Don't believe me.. Ask Fat Joe.

Press News / Hydraulic breaker with PowerAdapt / Three new heavy hydraulic breakers with PowerAdapt and optimized power-to-weight ratio
Three new heavy hydraulic breakers with PowerAdapt and optimized power-to-weight ratio
On the occasion of the Bauma 2010 fair Atlas Copco are introducing three new heavy hydraulic breaker models with PowerAdapt and optimized power-to-weight ratio. The HB 2000 with its service weight of 2000 kg offers 10% more power than its predecessor, the HB 200. The new HB 3100 and HB 4700 with a service weight of 3100 and 4700 kg, respectively, deliver 5% and 13% more power than their predecessor models.
All three hydraulic breakers are equipped with the PowerAdapt system which shuts down the breaker in case the oil pressure is too high. "This is for example useful when the hydraulic breaker is used on different carrier units," Torsten Treger, Product Line Manager Medium & Heavy Breakers explains. "Hydraulic breakers can generally be hydraulically overloaded if the carrier's oil pressure has the wrong setting. In order to ensure that our customers can make full use of the equipment in terms of efficiency and power, we have equipped the entire range of heavy-duty hydraulic breakers with PowerAdapt.
With an improper carrier oil pressure setting, conventional pressure relief valves as the ones frequently used in hydraulic breakers continuously drain oil into the tank and therefore waste precious energy. This affects the efficiency and profitability of the equipment.
The improved guide system of the hydraulic breakers provides a better stability and resistance. "After all hydraulic breakers are subject to tough operating conditions," Treger adds. "A new retaining bar provides a better protection especially in the lower part of the hydraulic breaker which has to take a lot of wear and tear. The service window and the recesses for the lateral slewing screw couplings have been reinforced. The Non-Dust version of the three new breaker models are furnished with the all-round wear protection which all of the dust versions of the HB series of hydraulic breakers already feature."
All proven features of Atlas Copco's heavy-duty hydraulic breaker line are also found in the three new models: the VibroSilenced System to protect operators against noise and vibrations, AutoControl to adapt the blow frequency and impact energy to the rock hardness as well as the integrated automatic lubrication system ContiLube ™ II. With StartSelect the operator can influence the starting and shutdown behaviour of the hydraulic breaker. And with the optional DustProtector the hydraulic breaker is protected against dust and rock particles penetrating the lower breaker part.

Carsley Tipped Me Off About City - Gardner
By Covsupport News Service
Updated Friday, 25th November 2011

Gardner on why he joined Coventry
Gary Gardner has said that he spoke to Coventry City U18's and Reserve Team coach Lee Carsley about what the Sky Blues were like as a club before he agreed to join on an initial month's loan from Aston Villa.
The North Warwickshire based midfielder told Sky Blue Player: "A few top of the table clubs were after me and wanted me to join them but I phoned Lee Carsley, who is a close family friend, this week and spoke to him about the club.
"He said it was quality with a good group of lads and the banter is great. That is what you need in football with the right environment and Lee (Carsley) said the gaffer is top quality so it was an easy decision in the end.
"The other clubs are top of the Championship but as long as I am playing football, living round the corner and Lee Carsley saying it is a great club, it was an easy decision to make in the end."

In 1997, when I was in seventh grade, I stood in front of our bathroom mirror and admitted to myself that I was gay. While I'd been coming to understand that about myself slowly, it was the first time I said those words out loud to myself. I cried, silently, and then went to bed and stared at the ceiling. Terrified.
For as long as I could remember, I knew that I was different. That there was something about me that wasn't like everyone else around me. Up until then I was too young to know what it was, but it was there.
By the time I hit middle school, I knew there was a word for it.
I also knew that it was a word that I would have to hide from everyone for what, at the time, seemed like would have to be for the rest of my life. I even accepted that I would have to contain that inside, too young to even comprehend that someone ever knowing my secret could be an option.
So I went on.
I bought the clothes that everyone else bought, took the classes that everyone else took. I'd watch what I said and would do everything in my power to be just like everyone else, hiding anything that I felt could potentially set me apart.
Luckily, I had the best group of friends that I could have had make those years of middle and high school as great as they could be. And, even though I knew I had to hide who I knew I was from them for my own protection, they loved me and were there for me always. For them and all those times together, I will forever be thankful.
When I then went away to college I was very aware that I could not keep this secret inside any longer. And while it would take nearly my whole freshman year to build up the strength and courage to say three words, "I am gay," I knew that it was time.
Ten years ago, on the eve of my nineteenth birthday, I came out to my parents and sister. While two weeks before that I had first started telling my closest of friends, I have always considered those moments alone with my mom, dad and sister to be the moments that would forever change the direction of my life.
It would mark the moment when the weight of having to hide who I was for all those years would start to lift. The walls of protection that I'd built up so tirelessly, so resiliently would finally start to come down.
It would take time for me to know how to be myself with others. I had spent nineteen years convincing everyone of who I was not. But now I had the freedom and power of being honest. I had the power of being real.
No more convincing would be needed.
From those days forward, I was a new person experiencing life in ways that I'd never known. Even something as simple as being able to finally play a favorite CD around a friend, the same CD that up until then I had hid for when I was in my car alone because it had Cher's All or Nothing on it, was something not to be taken for granted.
Now today, on the eve of my twenty-ninth birthday, I still do not for one second take what I have or who I am for granted. I've grown to proudly live my life with honesty, kindness and integrity. But most importantly, I am able to live a life where I am just who I am.
I am blessed that I can do so at work. That I can do so with friends. That I can do so with family. And while we live in a world where there is still much progress to be made, it is being made. Progress that hopefully one day gets us to a place where to "come out" will be a thing of the past. Where children can grow to become who they are, never having to think about how they may be "different" or thinking that they have to hide from who they are. Where it doesn't matter who you grow to love, but that you love. Where acceptance is inherent.
We'll get there.
Until then, I will continue to appreciate and learn from the history and struggles of those who bravely stood up and battled for me to be able to live as openly as I do today. I will stand up for myself and others to continue the push forward. And hopefully I will also one day set an example and provide hope for someone who is just beginning their own journey—someone who may come across this writing who is lying in bed tonight, unsure of what the future holds.
To that reader, I will tell you that it may be hard. It may seem impossible. But it doesn't just get better. It gets fabulous.
And if you are as lucky as I am, you'll be able to fill your life with people that are full of spirit, happiness and joy. You'll live a life where there is nothing you would change about who you are. Not for a single minute.
Today, ten years later, I am proud of who I was.
I am proud of who I am.
And I will always listen to All or Nothing whenever and as loudly as I want.
To all the fabulous people in my life – I want you there listening with me.

I am 19 on Monday… four times in the last two years I have almost plucked up the courage to tell my parents who I am and maybe on Sunday night I'll manage to have enough pride and confidence in myself and who I am to do it, despite the fear. Thank you so much for sharing and giving me hope. Seriously. I'm the person coming across this sitting in my bed.
Awwww yay! So glad u read this :) I'm sure the author is or will b ecstatic to know that he helped u in some way.
This is an awesome post. I'm glad you decided to share. I recently just came to terms with the fact that I am either gay or bisexual. I, and many others, thank you.
This is an incredible story- something I am still battling

Ludlowe fell to Westhill 48-37 on Tuesday night. The score is not indicative of how close the game was in the end.
The game did not start out well for Ludlowe as they were outscored 14-4 in the first quarter. Westhill's trapping defense was really giving Ludlowe problems early on.
The second quarter was much better for the Falcons as they outscored Weshill 10-7 in the quarter and trailed only 21-14 at half.
In the 3rd quarter Ludlowe's Patrick Gutierrez hit 2 threes and Mark Malone had 7 points in the quarter as Ludlowe was able to trim the deficit to 32-29 after 3.
The fourth quarter was an issue for Ludlowe. The were within 2 with two minutes to go but some costly turnovers and poor foul shooting allowed Westhill to grab an 11 point win.
Ludlowe drops to 5-5 (4-4 FCIAC). Westhill improves to 8-1 (7-0 in FCIAC). Ludlowe will return home on Friday to play Norwalk at 7.

The Chalybeate Spring
The discovery of the Chalybeate Spring just over 400 years ago in 1606, marked the beginning of Royal Tunbridge Wells, and it still forms a central part of The Pantiles and of the town today.
Visitors came to see and be seen in fashionable Tunbridge Wells, but above all to 'take the waters'.
Chalybeate (pronounced Ka-lee-bee-at) means iron-rich, and the iron taste is evident in the water.
At the height of its popularity in the eighteenth century, the Spring water was reputed to cure all sorts of ills from infertility and hangovers to obesity and 'a moist brain'.
History of the Spring
The Chalybeate Spring was discovered by chance by a young nobleman, Dudley Lord North, who noticed the reddish waters of the Spring seeping from the ground.
Lord North had spent several days at the Abergavenny Estate at nearby Eridge and was returning on horseback to London.
Feeling a bit the worse for wear from heavy drinking and merrymaking, Lord North drank the water to quench his thirst.
Feeling much rejuvenated from drinking the cool iron-rich spring water, he declared it to be health-giving to all his friends and acquaintances.
Word of the new spring and its special properties soon spread and visitors from London and elsewhere flocked to the small settlement which developed alongside the Spring and later became known as Tunbridge Wells.
In the eighteenth century, the Chalybeate Spring became a central feature of the daily routine for any self-respecting lady or gentleman visiting 'The Wells'.
The day started with a glass of spring water, followed by a promenade on 'The Walks' or a visit to the coffee house for the latest gossip, then off to church at the nearby Chapel of Ease, King Charles the Martyr.
The afternoon was spent with more promenading, gambling or a friendly match on one of the nearby bowling greens and finished with further gambling, dancing or a musical soiree or grand ball in the evening.
The Chalybeate water was served by a 'Dipper' for a small charge - not for the water but for the service of it being handed to the drinker.
This tradition carries on today, as in the summer it is still possible to sample the cool Chalybeate Spring water served by a costumed dipper.
The Chalybeate Spring is situated in The Pantiles and is open from Easter to September, 10.00am to 3.00pm, Wednesday to Sunday and Bank Holidays.

Aries Moon Rules Valentine's Day
The passionate Aries moon rules this day of hearts, encouraging bold expression and surprises. Typically, the Aries moon is ready to do battle on a moment's notice, so this is no time to disappoint your love. If you're not sure how to celebrate the special people in your life, keep this in mind: It's better to do too much than too little.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have no fear of saying "I love you," but you don't want to say it so much that it loses its specialness and meaning. Today you could say it a million times, and it would still be just as fresh as the first time.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Arrange to meet your loved ones somewhere new — preferably a place you've never been before. Completely fresh experiences will be the luckiest kind.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your sign mate Marilyn Monroe famously said that the one who couldn't handle her at her worst didn't deserve her at her best. Today you'll reward the ones who love the full spectrum of you by giving your very best.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Small gestures will be greatly rewarding. The simple act of holding hands or smiling into each other's eyes will have a profound impact on the development of a relationship.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your relationships thrive because you take the time and make the effort to create an environment of trust and mutual admiration. Now you'll enjoy the benefits of that work.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You work to make your relationships special every day and don't need outsiders to tell you when to celebrate those you love. However, this holiday is just the excuse you needed to go all-out.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Romantic love may be deep and intense, but other kinds of ties are just as important to you, if not more so. You'll be fascinated by the many forms your affections take.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). One ancient proverb suggests that love is a high form of tolerance. You strive for something far more active. Your heart will reach greater heights of joy because you believe it's possible.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You love the chance to recognize those who put the color in your cheeks and a fire in your eye. The only bad part is that the time you spend together seems to go by too quickly.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Because you concern yourself mostly with giving to others, the reality of today is better than your dreams of yesterday. This is the life you deserve. Your perspective makes this possible.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your sweetness will be appreciated, and so will the other tones of your choosing. Your personality has many colors that are beautiful to those who know and love you well.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When it's your turn to take a solo, you do an amazing job. But at your core, you're really not a solo instrument. You work brilliantly in concert with others, playfully harmonizing to create works of beauty.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 14). Valentine's baby, you'll use your creative gifts to delight your loved ones and win new fans this year. Your soulful words will resonate on multiple levels, uniting people and sparking their imaginations. Next month brings career advancement. April and June are your windfall months. Moves happen in October. Gemini and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 20, 11, 39 and 48.
LOVE AND THE EARTH SIGNS: Is your valentine an earth sign? If so, you likely feel lucky to be involved with one so sensual, genuine and trustworthy. The description "salt of the earth" or "down to earth" is fitting for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn people, because these signs tend to be authentically good and inclined toward right action. As a rule, they dislike drama and complication and don't equate those qualities with love at all. They gravitate toward mutually supportive relationships and believe that people should work together for higher purposes than simply being happy or being in love. Earth signs build relationships by working with their loved ones to build something that's bigger than the relationship itself.
But don't get the wrong impression that these signs are all work and no frivolity. They need play as much as anyone; however, they prefer even their play to have a clear purpose. Making things (like music, art, food and domestic niceties) is a pleasure for earth signs. Also, they appreciate whatever you make for them. So busy your hands with some homemade fun for your earth-sign valentine, and your efforts will make them feel totally loved.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Rob Thomas is the first songwriter in the Songwriter's Hall of Fame to receive the Starlight Award — for contributing a lasting musical influence that's rare for one so young. Besides his hits with Matchbox Twenty, the Aquarian prodigy has collaborated with Mick Jagger, Willie Nelson and Santana, to name a few. Thomas' natal sun, moon and Mercury are all in musical Aquarius.

Norwegian Pearl Cruise Review by grandegal: Norwegian Pearl February 6-13
Overall Member Rating
Norwegian Pearl February 6-13
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
We had a lot of obstacles to overcome in getting to our cruise, major snow storm, missed connections, almost lost our luggage, so we got to the ship late and had practically no wait to board. Our luggage was delivered to our cabin very quickly. We had a balcony cabin, that was smaller than on other ships. However, the bathroom was larger than most, and we had no problem with storage. The balcony was a good size with two chairs and a small table. We signed up for the weeklong spa pass, and highly recommend it. The spa pool, heated ceramic lounges and whirlpool tubs were great. We found that the buffet was well-designed, so that moving about was fairly easy. The selection was pretty much the same each day, but since it was fairly extensive we didn't have any problem trying different items. Our favorites were the omelets, pretzel rolls, salad bar, and softserve ice cream. The chocolate buffet was very nice, too. The main dining room meals were sometimes delicious and sometimes OK. Meal More
sizes were smaller than I have had before, but we still didn't starve. Our extras included the murder mystery dinner, martini tasting and one night at Le Bistro. All were very enjoyable. The menu for the mystery dinner was extremely limited, but the beef was delicious. I might add that we had great tablemates. I highly recommend any of the bar tastings. They had great selections and the price was good. Le Bistro had phenomenal food.
We did not see the Vegas-style shows, but Second City and Sharkbait were great. There was also a performer that played the piano and sang at Bar City that was very entertaining. We fully expected to pay for extras, but did not find any crew members to be overly pushy.
We did the whale-watching and beach excursion in Samana, and really enjoyed it. Just be prepared to run the local vendor gauntlet at the beach. We were not able to visit the baths in Tortola, because we were not able to swim ashore. However, we did snorkle at a nearby island with Patouche tours and really enjoyed. One caution - watch out for sea urchins. My sister got nailed and experienced a bit of pain for several days. Really appreciated the help provided by the ship's doctor for that. Just did some major shopping in St. Thomas. Great Stirrup Cay was very nice. We had number 8 for the tenders and had no problem getting a lounger. The tenders were actually quite large, so they were able to move people to the island fairly quickly. Food on the barbecue buffet was better than we have had on other islands.
We elected to carry our own luggage off the ship, so disembarking was very easy. I did like the later time frame, because we could enjoy a leisurely breakfast before departing. Less

Racism and Crying Wolf
As we discussed on the last podcast, as well as in various posts here at QandO, the biggest missed opportunity in the whole Gates kerfuffle was to draw attention to the civil liberties issues. By immediately crying racial profiling, Prof. Gates clouded an otherwise sympathetic view of his standing as a homeowner. Of course, if he hadn't behaved the way that he did (calling Sgt. Crowley a racist cop), then he likely would never had been arrested in the first place. Nevertheless, what we should have taken from the l'affair Gates was that scenes such as the following are all too familiar:
Pepin Tuma, 33, was walking with two friends along Washington's hip U Street corridor around midnight Saturday, complaining about how Gates had been rousted from his home for not showing a proper amount of deference to a cop. "We'd been talking about it all day," said Tuma. "It seems like police have a tendency to act overly aggressively when they're being pushed around," Tuma recalled saying.
Then the group noticed five or six police cruisers surrounding two cars in an apparent traffic stop on the other side of the street. It seemed to Tuma that was more cops than necessary.
"That's why I hate the police," Tuma said. He told the Huffington Post that in a loud sing-song voice, he then chanted, "I hate the police, I hate the police."
One officer reacted strongly to Tuma's song. "Hey! Hey! Who do you think you're talking to?" Tuma recalled the officer shouting as he strode across an intersection to where Tuma was standing. "Who do you think you are to think you can talk to a police officer like that?" the police officer said, according to Luke Platzer, 30, one of Tuma's companions.
Tuma said he responded, "It is not illegal to say I hate the police. It's not illegal to express my opinion walking down the street."
According to Tuma and Platzer, the officer pushed Tuma against an electric utility box, continuing to ask who he thought he was and to say he couldn't talk to police like that.
"I didn't curse," Tuma said. "I asked, am I being arrested? Why am I being arrested?"
It should come as no surprise that, in fact, Tuma was arrested on a charge of 'disorderly conduct":
D.C.'s disorderly conduct statute bars citizens from breaching the peace by doing anything "in such a manner as to annoy, disturb, interfere with, obstruct, or be offensive to others" or by shouting or making noise "either outside or inside a building during the nighttime to the annoyance or disturbance of any considerable number of persons."
Tuma spent a few hours in a holding cell and was released early Sunday morning after forfeiting $35 in collateral to the police, he said. A "post and forfeit" is not an admission of guilt, and Tuma doesn't have a court date — but the arrest will pop up if an employer does a background check.
So, adding insult to injury, Tuma gets arrested for expressing his opinion on a public street, spends the night in jail, and then is "legally" pickpocketed by the police. This is a problem, just as it was with the Gates mess, and is the real issue that should be discussed.
Forget racial profiling and other obscurants for a moment and contemplate just how much power has been granted to the police here. Is that a wise decision? Surely we want the police to be able to use their judgment in a given situation, but when a law is drafted so broadly as to provide cover when a cop feels insulted then such law flies in the face of constitutional protections.
Furthermore, situations like this really undermine the concept of police being "professionals". Having the power to arrest someone because they get a little mouthy is not a power any real professional should want or need. Being a professional means being able to negotiate the situation through one's abilities, not through one's grant of extraordinary power. I mean, could you imagine if lawyers had the ability to throw people in clink for insulting them? Who would be safe?
The fact of the matter is that there are just too many laws to begin with. Cut down on number if infractions cops are expected to enforce, and you will cut down on the number of incidences where the police overstep their authority. When the only thing in danger is a cop's feelings, then I think it's safe to say that incarcerating anyone is a monumental waste of time and resources that could be better spent going after real criminals.

By immediately crying racial profiling, Prof. Gates clouded an otherwise sympathetic view of his standing as a homeowner.
Perhaps the Tuma incident can help clear the clouds on this regarding his arrest and even the Gates arrest.
From Gates to Crowley to Obama and all the various authors and pundits, it was frustrating for me from the very beginning to listen to them tackle the incident with race as the prime consideration.
For me, it was completely unnecessary to highlight, rightly or wrongly, how race relations played into the Gates arrest. Once Crowley had learned that Gates was the homeowner and that no crime was being committed, his job was over. He had no reason to be there any longer, and should have left the scene.
Like you stated about police professionalism, Crowley should have been the bigger man, realized that he represented the city of Cambridge and it's police department and the laws that govern it's citizens and walked away. Not only should he have done that, it was his job to do that.
Okay, Gates was acting like a prick. Okay, Gates was in the wrong to insult the police, Okay, …. and on and on. It doesn't matter. Acting stupidly in your own home is not a crime. Having stupid opinions is not a crime.
Crowley bears the brunt of responsibility over this fiasco simply because it was his responsibility – as a professional police officer representing the city and it's citizens, as an employee of the city and it's citizens – to simply walk away.
Yes it might be difficult to have to take insults from a lesser man. But we all have to do things in our jobs that are difficult sometimes and we don't want to do them.
That's why it's called a job.
"Once Crowley learned that Gates was the homeowner…"
How, pray, was he supposed to determine that when Gates refused to provide identification?
I'm torn.
On the one hand… sure… in a perfect world offending a police officer shouldn't get you arrested. I mean… DUH.
On the other hand, the world isn't perfect and police officers are often outright attacked. I've made jokes (except it isn't funny) that a person is safer as a soldier in Iraq than as a police officer in Albuquerque.
So Tuma is, by his own admission, belligerent and purposefully antagonistic toward police officers who are on the job, but whom Tuma feels aren't doing it properly… too many of them? How does Tuma know what just happened, that it's nothing important? The most dangerous thing police officers do (I'm told) is traffic stops. So Tuma takes it on himself to make a scene, distracting from what may, or may not, be a tense or dangerous situation. He doesn't know. He doesn't care.
The cops also know that he doesn't know. He's just some passer-by who starts hollering about hating the police.
I'd arrest him too. In a heart-beat. And I'd pick more than $35 from his pocket.
It's one thing, really, to argue that police ought to be professional enough not to let the heat of the moment, the adrenaline of a chase and danger, push them into violence and then excuse it. We don't even allow that of our soldiers.
But I think it is something else to expect police to wait until someone throws a rock, or attacks them, or for the deliberate interference and distraction of someone like Tuma to cause a *real* problem, before the police are allowed to act… just because until that happens it's just "speech."
I've said this before about the Gates issue… if we're operating on the assumption that police officers are public servants… please tell me at what point we start insisting on our right to treat our servants like shit?
"Once Crowley had learned that Gates was the homeowner and that no crime was being committed,.."
He didn't know that no one else was in the house and while he assumed Gates was the homeowner he didn't *know* that for certain or that nothing else was necessary.
OTOH… if he was a PRIVATE security contractor and not a public servant with a "job" that forces him to accept verbal abuse, he'd have told his CLIENT, Gates, to take a long walk off a short pier, left the building and the situation, told his bosses, and they'd have terminated Gate's protection contract.
That's what freedom would have given us in this situation.
If the police responding to a call to Gate's home were there voluntarily, Gates would not have acted like he did, because the right and proper and inevitable result would be that Gates would lose his police protection.
He didn't know that no one else was in the house and while he assumed Gates was the homeowner he didn't *know* that for certain or that nothing else was necessary.
Are you sure about that?
In his own police report, Crowley wrote, "I told Gates that I was leaving his residence and that if he had any other questions regarding the matter, I would speak with him outside of the residence." My emphasis.
Not only does that suggest that Crowley believed Gates to be the homeowner, it suggested that he had also determined that nothing else was necessary.
Besides, Gates was arrested for disorderly conduct, not for B&E. Even if you assume that Gates had been placed in handcuffs for his own protection while the police checked out the home, he should have been released after determining that everything was safe.
Instead, he was hauled off to jail. Where, as you know, all charges were eventually dropped. If Crowley acted correctly and this was a just arrest, why were the charges dropped?
If you want to talk about those gawd awful abortions call "no knock warrants" I'll be right with you.
Come on, Tuma has some responsibility here too. He was trying to provoke them. Personally, as an officer, I would have just told him to f*ck off. Sure, he wasn't breaking any laws, but the police have a dangerous job and are going to sensitive to hostile behavior. Would a normal, rational person do what Tuma did? No.
Yeah, I'm gonna side with this here.
A rational person doesn't yell that you hate a group of people AT that very same group of people.
Had Tuma yelled "I hate blacks" at a bunch of black people, or "I hate members of Pipe Fitters Local #419" at a bunch of pipe-fitting union members, he'd have gotten far worse than a few hours in a cell.
Seriously. It is more than ok to hate cops. Really, it is. You can even say it out loud…
But very few people who aren't looking to cause trouble would yell it at 4 cop-cars worth of LEOs.
That's not the police Gates and Tuma are insulting and calling racists. It's me, and my family, and every tax paying citizen who pays police to keep the peace in society. Gates and Tuma are criminals. They broke the law and disturbed the good peace of the public. Gates and Obama are racialist and did what they always do: RaceCard. Most of America is sick and tired of being called hate-filled racists by a bunch of race-baiting opportunists like Obama and Gates, who have made their fortunes at the expense of their hyphenated brothers and sisters. Call me a racist and I will hurt you.
Are you suggesting that rather than let Crowley leave, Gates followed him out of his house to yell at him and insult him more?
I've heard the most amazing things… such as that Crowley *lured* him outside so he could act like an ass in public and give Crowley an excuse to arrest him.
In a just world Gates would not have been arrested.
In a just world Gates would have had a "do not respond" note in the police computers next to his name and address.
Are you suggesting that rather than let Crowley leave, Gates followed him out of his house to yell at him and insult him more?
No. Where do you get that?
You wrote that Crowley didn't know for certain if the home belonged to Gates and that he didn't know if anything else was necessary.
I merely suggested that from Crowley's own police report, the "I told him I was leaving his house" bit suggested that Crowley was certain enough in the knowledge that the house did indeed belong to Gates that he was comfortable enough to leave.
I've heard the most amazing things… such as that Crowley *lured* him outside so he could act like an ass in public and give Crowley an excuse to arrest him.
Why is that so amazing? We are talking about two big egos and testosterone. It's completely in the realm of possibility, and even likely, that Crowley, having the ego of a police officer, and Gates, having the ego of a Harvard professor – and throw in a heavy dose of testosterone – might just do things they wouldn't normally do.
I don't know if it happened or not. I wasn't there.
And with fear of being accused of sexism here, maybe as a woman, synova, you haven't had the same kind of encounters with police officers that I've had.
IOW, you probably have never been involved in a pissing contest.
Some guys like to throw their weight around, and give some of them a badge and a gun, well that's just giving some of them a license to do it.
Disorderly conduct is just too broad and vague. It gives police officers too much power to arrest just anyone they don't like. If anyone wants to make it a crime to verbally abuse police officers – even in your own home – then put it on a ballot.
In a just world Gates would have had a "do not respond" note in the police computers next to his name and address.
Well, for all we know, maybe the CPD have made a mental note about xxx Ware St. And maybe if they get a 911 call about that address, maybe they'll finish their coffee before responding.
And maybe justly so.
That was a response to Pogue.
33 years old, and he thinks it's cool or whatever to chant "I hate the police" in a "sing-song" voice, after midnight, in the bar district.
He's a tool and a fool.
Devil's advocate:
The distinctive uniforms and badges are symbols of the authority the police have. Patrol cars are similarly marked so that there is no question that they are police vehicles. The batons and sidearms carried by police officers, even if not used or even drawn, are symbols that they have got the power and life and death in certain situations. In short, we INTENTIONALLY set the police up with symbols of authority. I suggest that this is to aid them in their work: much police work is done by the mere presence of a marked patrol car or uniformed officer because the certain knowledge that the police are nearby, even if they are not actively involved in a given situation, is often enough to prevent a crime from happening in the first place.
How much will this authority be damaged if it becomes clear that the police can be publicly insulted with impunity?
I recently watched part of the HBO miniseries "John Adams", in particular the episode about the Boston Massacre. Would that tragic event have occured had the Bostonians not learned (A) to hold the redcoats in contempt and (B) that the redcoats could usually be taunted and insulted with little of no risk? In other words, it seems to me good for the safety not only of the police but also of the public to penalize TO SOME DEGREE the taunting and insulting of police officers who are engaged in the lawful performance of their duty. I don't suggest that we make the police "untouchable", of course, but rather that we give them support and respect until they demonstrate that they've abused their trust.
As for Tuma, we have only his word and the word of one of his pals about what happened. Now, given that he admitted to sing-songing that he hates the police, might we consider that his version of the events is… um… biased?
On the plus side, Tuna probably won't be sing songing comments like that again.
"Once Crowley had learned that Gates was the homeowner and that no crime was being committed, his job was over. He had no reason to be there any longer, and should have left the scene."
Okay, Pogue, I think I see where I misunderstood you (or vice versa)… but it seems to me that Crowley was leaving the scene once he was convinced that Gates lived there and nothing untoward was going on (the 911 call said two men, after all). Gates was badgering him about his badge number and on the phone to the Mayor and what-not and being verbally abusive from the moment Crowley arrived when Crowley did not know for sure that Gates lived there.
And then when Crowley was moving out… out of the house, and it would seem, on his way to leave… Gates continued to be verbally abusive except out in public drawing a crowd.
I'm not at all convinced that police should behave meekly when confronted with someone who is abusive, who tries to pull rank and calls the Mayor and the Chief, and who keeps it up when the officer is trying to leave.
I hear how there are two men involved and *each* has too much testosterone. Well, I have very little testosterone and *I* would not have allowed myself to be treated that way or thought it best to back down and assume some sort of servile posture before leaving with my tail between my legs.
I have the right to scream "I hate George Lucas", but not during the showing of Star Wars. It is not fair to the people who paid to watch the film and have no interest in my opinion of it or its creator.
Screaming 'I hate police' when coming upon policemen in the middle of an arrest, can become incitement to riot, depending on how many people join in the chant, et cetera. If you don't like the police, get a bumper sticker, get a weblog, put a sign in your window. But Tuma's actions were not fair to anyone who could have been caught up in an ensuing malee. The second part of Law and Order is 'Order'. And anyone on this site who has raised children, volunteered at a public event, or even taken Bubba to the hospital after he said, 'Hold my beer and watch this…' knows that preventing trouble from starting is easier than stopping trouble, once started.
Where all of this went awry was right at the beginning when the cop *assumed* he had the right to offer any form of policing on the private property of an individual person.
He did not.
If I do not contract with an entity myself for such services that entity has no right to assume it can force me to accept them, regardless of whether it is gov't or otherwise.
The cop had no right to be on Gates' property, period, and everything after that is a result of that primary violation.
No, I won't listen to any of the 19 Ninja possibilities either.
When you routinely violate the natural rights of an individual there are no rights, only thuggery.
Crowley was wrong and all this racist tripe is just that – distractionary.
"Where all of this went awry was right at the beginning when the cop *assumed* he had the right to offer any form of policing on the private property of an individual person."
Quite right. How very dare that pig show up at a reported burglary. He really should have known better.
Could have, might have, quite possibly, etc., etc.
Yes, you do have the *natural right* to scream about George Lucas and if no one can show proof of harm then no no harm was done.
Your assumptions are appalling.
Saturday night, around midnight, in DC, on 'hip' U st.?? I am sure no alcohol was involved. "loud, sing-song voice", with two friends? Sounds like disorderly conduct to me. Or maybe the police should have waited until a crowd formed and things got a bit more violent.
You seem to be living in some other country outside the US. Inside the US, which is a democracy, your police protection, and the right of the police to be on your territory, is a choice that has already been made for you by democratic vote. You don't get to pick and choose the nature of it, or contract it privately.
What are 'natural rights' ?

Happy Monday, all! I have a special card to share today – my mom's birthday card!
I wanted something bright and spring-timey so I die cut some cute daisies and stuck them in a vellum mason jar. I kept the layout pretty simple because there's tons of detail and pattern going on.
I stamped the jar twice, once on vellum and once on some patterned paper then fussy cut them both out. I layered them with the stems and leaves for the flowers stuck in between. The label is stamped on patterned paper, then I used a marker to color the border before fussy cutting it out and setting an eyelet to tie it to the jar with the gingham ribbon. The large yellow button is custom made from yellow polka dot designer paper using the Epiphany Crafts button creator tool – love that thing!
All of the papers here were from my scraps stash! The border punch is a discontinued item from the Paper Studio. The small yellow button is retired from Stampin' Up. The die for the flowers is the Sizzix Daisies #2 – I couldn't find a link for it so it may also be discontinued. Everything else is linked below!
Specific products used on this card:
My go-to favorites for all cardmaking:
Tagged: baker's twine, big shot, buttons, corner rounder, daisies #2, epiphany crafts, hero arts, lattice border punch, ribbon, sizzix, vellum, versafine

Buprenorphine, primarily as the buprenorphine/naloxone combination, has been available in the United States for office and specialty treatment program-based care since 2003. The existing evidence, collected primarily from federal sources, indicates that access to this type of treatment has expanded, that more than 50% of the 12,000 physicians able to provide this care are not addiction specialists, that buprenorphine diversion is low, that physician scrutiny by federal agents is infrequent, and among those receiving treatment patient acceptance is high. Implementation has been slowed because of physician training and support needs, reimbursement, and limits on the number of patients each physician can treat. As a result there are geographic variations in access and unmet treatment needs. The United States Congress has moved twice to loosen numerical limitations, now allowing each physician to treat up to 100 patients. Future research and evaluation are needed to ensure that opioid-dependent patients receive optimal care with buprenorphine.

5 Things Linux Does Better Than Mac OS X
I think the success of the Mac is mostly a matter of marketing. Whatever your own personal beliefs, though, there's no denying that there are certain things Linux clearly does better than Mac OS X. If you're trying to decide on a platform for your business, these factors are worth keeping in mind.
1. Security
The Mac might enjoy a smaller installed base than Windows does, meaning there's less of the monoculture effect and less of a lure for malicious hackers, but Linux blows them both away when it comes to security.
First is the question of permissions: Linux users are not automatically given administrator privileges on their computers, meaning that viruses and malware don't automatically have access to everything in the proverbial "castle." So, when a computer is compromised, the most the malware can typically do is trash the user's local files and programs.
With Apple, on the other hand--as with Windows--social engineering is painfully easy. Just convince the user to click on something, and away you go, with the castle keys in hand.
With Linux, on the other hand, there is a world of users examining the code every day. No wonder, then, that Linux vulnerabilities can be found and fixed more quickly.

Too few roles for Hispanics in the top Hollywood movies
By Jesse Washington ,AP
August 5, 2014, 12:00 am TWN
A new study shows that less than 5 percent of actors in top Hollywood films are Hispanic, and that Latinas are more likely than women of any other ethnicity to appear partially or totally naked on screen.
The study of the top 100 grossing films in 2013, by the University of Southern California's Annenberg school, found that the make-believe world of movies generally does not reflect what America looks like in real life.
About 74 percent of the actors in the study were white, compared with a U.S. population that's 63 percent non-Hispanic white.
Hispanics, who are 17 percent of the nation but had 4.9 percent of film roles, were the most underrepresented group on screen. That's despite the fact that Hispanics bought about 25 percent of all movie tickets and are more likely than any other group to go to the movies, according to the Motion Picture Association of America.
Black characters represented about 14 percent of those in the films, which is comparable to America's 13 percent black population. However, 17 percent of the films examined in the study did not have a single black speaking role, and half the films had a smaller percentage than the population, which indicates that a few movies with predominantly black casts balanced out the many movies with few black actors.
2013 was called a banner year for black actors, due to the success of films such as "Fruitvale Station," `'Lee Daniels' The Butler" and "12 Years a Slave," which made Steve McQueen the first black winner of the best-director Oscar.
Hispanic stars such as the Dominican Zoe Saldana, the New York-born Puerto Rican Jennifer Lopez and the Spaniard Antonio Banderas appeared on the big screen.
