Troubled Hollywood star Amanda Bynes is doing nothing to lessen her issues with Young Money's Drake, now claiming she will continue to harrass him with ugly photos on a regular basis.
While she has not offered an explanation for the infatuation with Drizzy, Bynes did remind the world there aren't any wedding plans in their immediate future.
"I'll post ugly pics of @Drake every time I see one! Not hard ;)," she tweeted June 13th.
"@drake please don't think you're good looking! Ew! pic.twitter.com/MEnQBhBnBY"
"@Drake is ugly though! pic.twitter.com/DfXiJYf6Do"
"I'll post ugly pics of @Drake every time I see one! Not hard ;)"
"I won't marry @drake because I want to marry a gorgeous man! Sorry ur ugly @drake but I have dated ugly guys before so you stand a chance!!!" (Amanda Bynes' Twitter)
Bynes' negative words follow some anti-Drake bashing she posted earlier in the week
"I only like @Drake because he's so ugly! His ugly cheeks at the EA conference! Fine he is not, but he knows he's ugly! I've spoken to him!," she tweeted June 11th. (Amanda Bynes' Twitter)
Despite her tantrums, Atlanta rapper Waka Flocka Flame recently defended the actress and said constant criticism has likely fueled her actions.
"To me, Amanda Bynes is like a confused kid that became an adult – that people couldn't handle that she's a woman, in my eyes." Waka explained. "Having conversations with her, she kind of reminds me of me, you doing so good that people lash out at you. They forget all the right sh*t you doing. Instead of helping and showing a better way, they're just killing her, downing her — pouring the negativity. I just feel like a couple of words could uplift a whole person's approach to life, so that's why I just put my little two cents in." ("Mikey T The Movie Star")
Last week, she raised eyebrows by going after Drake with jabs about his appearance.
It looks like someone has changed her tune! Amanda Bynes posted on Twitter today that she's over her crush on Drake–in a matter of words. "Drake has the ugliest smile, ugly gums uneven teeth ugly eyes," she said. She later deleted the tweet. Upon hearing the sudden change of heart, blogger Perez Hilton asked Bynes why she's over the rapper. Bynes made other comments about the rapper (and apparently deleted those as well), and then went on to say, "I won't deny calling @Drake ugly." Hmmm…sounds like she's definitely moving on from the "Started From the Bottom" performer! (E! Online)

Cosplay Week wraps up here for us on Batman Arkham with a bit of Double Trouble via Birds of Play. We first met this duo at Comic Con during the Cape Cowl Create event and have kept them in mind since. Like many fans in this community, they started as fans of the Animated Series, and found a natural progression into the expanded Batman world. While we have been focused this week on Arkham related designs, we wanted to give a shout out to those who do the wide ranging universe of Batman to celebrate all that is fandom for the Dark Knight. Their links are below, but check out their associated design line Castle Corsetry where you could get some unique ideas to start your own cosplay: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CastleCorsetry
Who are you and could you give us a general intro?
Hi! We are Amanda Lynne and Lauren, and together we're the cosplay duo Birds of 'Play! We love making and wearing costumes, going to conventions and events, and literally wearing our fandoms on our sleeves. We both live in Los Angeles so there's always a fun event to check out and make a costume for! We're both really passionate about our love for sci-fi, fantasy, and great stories, especially in comic books.
How long have you been a cosplayer?
Amanda: I grew up in San Diego, so I've been wearing costumes to San Diego Comic Con since high school! Even before conventions I've always loved making costumes for Halloween, theme parties, or any other excuse, really. Lauren and I both ramped up our cosplay game when the Birds of 'Play group was officially formed in 2011.
Lauren: I've been sewing since my mom taught me as a child, and I think I've always especially liked to make costumes. Before I attended conventions I made costumes for myself and friends for Renaissance Faires, theatre productions, and just for fun. I graduated from FIDM and I've been working as a professional designer ever since. I have my own costume and corset business, Castle Corsetry, where I make costumes for TV, film, and other cosplayers!
(Pictured with Adrianne Curry as Catwoman)
What interested you in the Batman Arkham/Animated Series?
Amanda: I'm a huge fan of Bruce Timm's art style, so I really love his character designs for Batman: The Animated Series. Plus, it's basically one of the best comic adaptations ever! I also really like playing the Arkham games because it's just so cool to be able to fully immerse yourself in Gotham and that universe.
Lauren: Batman: The Animated Series was a huge part of my childhood! It definitely sparked my love of all things Batman and especially Harley Quinn. Harley was very innovative in her character design in both personality and voice, and I have always been drawn to her. As for the games, I always like seeing the new costume designs for each character.
What interested you in the character?
Amanda: Poison Ivy is pretty much my inner nerd girl fantasy! As Pamela Isley, she's a mousey, awkward scientist. But then, once she becomes Poison Ivy, she's powerful, charismatic, passionate and able to do anything and get anything she wants. She's not even really evil -- she's definitely a bad girl, but that's just because the rest of the world doesn't see eye to eye with her about what's really important and worth fighting for.
Lauren: I love all the Batman villains, but Harley Quinn has always been one of my favorites. Cosplaying as Harley lets me have a great time, because she's so crazy and exciting! Plus, her character design has always appealed to me, and making the costume gave some interesting challenges that I had a lot of fun solving. Harley was part of my childhood so it was important to me to get the costume as perfect as possible.
Is there an upcoming Batman Arkham Character you would want to Cosplay as?
Amanda: I've only really seen Harley from Arkham Knight. Are there even any other girl characters to choose from? I'd love to see an Arkham Batgirl design. I don't really see myself cosplaying Catwoman or Harley, but I want to do Arkham Asylum Ivy soon! Her green skin and the ivy designs would be cool to experiment with. As for other DC characters, I've had Ravager from Teen Titans on my list for a while, and I absolutely love the new Batgirl look in the comics.
Lauren: I want to be all the Harleys! I've made Arkham Asylum Harley costumes for clients before and I really want to do one for myself, and her Arkham City costume is so badass too. I'm currently working on a PVC version of the classic Harley suit based on a statue, and Amanda and I have a pretty fabulous Harley and Ivy original design duo that we'll hopefully debut this Spring.
What was the first cosplay you did? What other characters do you like to cosplay as?
Amanda: I'm not sure I even remember my first cosplay! I started with easier outfits that I could put together or alter, like Typhoid Mary from Daredevil. I think the first costume that I really tried to make as accurate as possible was one of Amber Sweet's outfits from Repo! The Genetic Opera.
I have a pretty large cosplay closet at this point! Some of my favorites to wear are Supergirl, Dark Phoenix (and a few other X-Men costumes), and Frankie Stein from Monster High. Lauren and I have a couple Disney costumes in the works this year that I'm really excited to wear, too!
Lauren: Amanda and I actually met performing in a shadowcast of Repo here in LA. I was obsessed with all of Blind Mag's costumes, and pretty soon I started making costumes for the entire cast. That was my first super involved cosplay, too.
Harley might be my all time favorite, but I also love to wear my Winnifred Sanderson from Hocus Pocus (with Amanda as Sarah!), Emma Frost, Powergirl, and my Vulcan Star Trek Bunny. I have a huge secret Star Wars project that I'm working on now too that hopefully you'll see soon!
How do you create your own costumes?
Amanda: It depends! Film and TV costumes usually involve a lot of hunting for the right piece. Now that fans collaborate so much online, it's sometimes possible to find the exact coat or dress or whatever used, and then the challenge is to find one! With comic book costumes it's definitely tougher, since most superhero costumes only exist in the minds of artists. In those cases the tricky part can be bringing it to life in a way that actually works on a real human body. Luckily I have a professional designer to help me out!
Lauren: Comic costumes can really be insane! Unfortunately not all artists seem to understand how real life fabrics and seam lines work, so it becomes my job to translate. I start by creating a pattern. I can often modify one of my existing patterns, but sometimes I have to create one from scratch, which involves a lot of measurements and and a lot of math. Finding the right fabrics and materials can be tough too, but once that's taken care of all that's left is the actual sewing -- and by that point, the sewing is usually the easy part!
How long does it take you to create your costumes?
Amanda: Again, it depends on a few different factors, namely how much time I have to work with. I have a couple different day jobs, so I'll often work on a costume in spurts over the course of weeks or months. I honestly try not to count the hours.
Lauren: Every costume is different! At this point I can bang out a spandex bodysuit in one night, but more complicated costumes obviously take longer. I think my Winnifred Sanderson costume has taken the longest, because it's so incredibly intricate and detailed. That one took me several weeks of non-stop work.
How often do you go to shows, where do you show your work?
We both go to shows as often as we can! During "con season" (Spring and Summer) that can often mean a con almost every weekend. There are so many great local conventions in SoCal, like Comikaze Expo, WonderCon, and San Diego Comic Con. We've also attended DragonCon, Big Wow!, and Amazing Arizona. This year we're hoping to make it out for Emerald City Comic Con, Atlantic City Boardwalk Con, and Phoenix Comic Con.
So I am pretty new to the Arkham forums (to my knowledge I thought they were closed) but they were hiding in the shadows, I have searched and haven't found any Arkham Knight wishlists so I thought I would start a wishlist and over-time we can all contribute to things we would like to see in Arkham Knight
I will start of simply
- No shock gloves, they made the game easy and took the fun out of the games combat.
- An option to disable the HUD completely for a cinematic effect
- The option to change the right analog stick sensitivity
- Loads of easter eggs (like Arkham City but x1000000000000000)
- Dynamic crimes in progress, in BAO they would just appear in front of you and it was always a gang fight or someone getting beaten up. This gets boring fast. In BAK it would be great if I could be gliding and see a group of people robbing a band/store and I have to stop them or if I'm late to arrive at the crime scene I have to track them down and regain the stolen money (this would work great for Batmobile car chases) or if they were completely gone I would have to analyse the area and find certain clues to where they have taken the money or hostage etc...
- The old upgrade system, like the ones in Arkham Asylum and City. The WayneTech in BAO was awful, it was so linear and boring. I hated the fact that I had to wait until the Shiva boss fight to unlock Critical Strikes, that is and should always be the first thing you unlock and I should be able to customize my Batman to how I play, unlocking stuff to get access to other upgrades can be a huge pain
- Colour filters, when you beat the game filters would be nice. You could replay the game in Black and White, Sepia, Noire etc...
- I would love, it would make my year if we could use the Batwing....
I will add more as time goes on but please add your own and tell me what you think of my points, are they amazing or bad, keep in mind I'll serve justice if you dislike my points.
At least, I sure do...

M wears: Top by Bobo Choses / Skirt by Mango Kids / Shoes by Minnetonka. Mum's bag by Beci Orpin.
Some photos from our Saturday. The weather forecast promised a hot day, but as we finally got outside it was still a nice breezy day with some fluffy clouds over our heads. Maybe the weather predictors were wrong? Who knows, it is Melbourne after all. Off we went and had lunch at local favorite and as we ate we realized it was getting hotter (after a quick shower of rain). By the time we were back in the car we decided it was best to head for a place that could give us some cooler winds and perhaps a chance to fly a kite.
There is a nice little calm spot in Kingston which is perfect for kite flying so we ended up walking down the lovely path and down to the beach. When we finally arrived everybody was so hot, there was not much plans on kites anymore. All that was on the agenda was to cool down. . Kids were laughing and splashing while the big people found a good spot in the shade to relax on. The temperature kept rising until it hit 32C. When the kids had enough of splashing, it was a quick fly with the kite and then it was time to head for home. We were all slightly knocked out by all the fresh air and sun, but definitely a good start to the weekend!

Long gloved zip hoodie by Nununu / pants by Kukukid / Shoes by Puma. M wears: Chaya Dress by molo / Cat stockings by Stella McCartney / Shoes by 10 IS.
The weather keeps jumping from hot to cool, depending on where the wind comes from. It doesn't mean you don't go out, you just throw on an extra layer and make the most of it. Here are a few photos from an afternoon stroll down on the St Kilda Boardwalk. A popular hangout for beach visitors, skaters, even horse riders! In between the long beach, you can find plenty of restaurants, sport equipment hiring, a sea bath and playgrounds. We don't normally venture here so it was fun to take the kids to a place they haven't seen in a while.
It is just on the other side of the main road to the amusement park Luna Park which we visited the weekend before. Then it was almost 30C and a bit different to this days 15C. When the wind was too strong we sneaked into a nice little take away place and shared some chilli dogs, a perfect end to a nice day in the fresh sea air.

Moments | A Day of Indulgence
Spiked Superhero Hoodie by Beau LOves / Newark Jeans by I Dig Denim / Shoes by Converse.
We are lucky to have two big vegetable/fruit lovers in our kids and healthy eating is something we try and focus on as a family. With that said every now and then we allow for a day of indulgence and the other day was one of those days. My boy's favourite hamburger place is The Royal Brothers and their little kids burger The Pony Boy. It is the perfect size for kids and I have joined him in having one a couple of times and I can see why he has named it the aaaamaaazing burger. The milk bun burgers are one tasty treat and they have been voted the best burgers in Melbourne on several occasions.
We ended our afternoon on the best playground around....the beach! And manged to squeeze in an ice cream and heaps of play before the sun started to go down. Guess if we were exhausted after that day!?

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Pakistan offensive intensifies with more airstrikes as military suffers first casualties
BANNU, Pakistan - Pakistani jets pounded targets in the country's northwest on Monday as the military suffered its first casualties in a major offensive designed to root out safe havens in the volatile region.
The airstrikes are part of a long-awaited operation against foreign and local militants in North Waziristan, an essentially lawless tribal region which has served as a training base for militants and a staging point for insurgents who attack Pakistan and NATO and Afghan troops across the border. The operation started Sunday.
The United States has for years complained to Pakistan about its failure to impose order in a region harbouring what Washington considers the country's most dangerous militants, and has carried out hundreds of drone strikes in the area.
The offensive marks the end of the government's policy of trying to negotiate with Pakistani Taliban militants instead of using force to end years of fighting which has killed tens of thousands of civilians and security forces.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who has promoted the talks, defended military action during a speech to parliament on Monday. Sharif said the government had tried for more than four months to talk to the militants but their violence continued. He said Pakistan could not become a safe haven for militants.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the U.S. has long supported Pakistani efforts to extend sovereignty throughout the country and bring stability, but she emphasized this was an "entirely Pakistan led and executed operation."
She declined to comment on whether the operation would help U.S. efforts in Afghanistan.
The airstrikes early Monday targeted six hideouts near the border with South Waziristan, a neighbouring tribal region, killing 27 militants, the military said.
Separately, the military said 14 militants were killed in separate confrontations while another three were shot trying to lay roadside bombs near Miran Shah, one of the region's main towns. Altogether the military reported that nearly 200 militants had been killed during the two-day offensive.
The military said eight troops died Monday — six by a roadside bomb and two during a shootout with militants — as the Pakistani Taliban warned that more violence could be in the offing.
A spokesman for the militants warned in a statement sent to reporters that international investors, foreign airlines and multinational organizations should leave Pakistan or they'd be considered supporters of the government and fair game.
Shahidullah Shahid also vowed to retaliate in the cities of Islamabad and Lahore, cities that have largely been spared the bombings and shootings that plague places like Karachi and Peshawar.
Security was being stepped up across Pakistan. In Karachi, armoured personnel carriers could be seen rolling out the gates of a military base. The military said they were being used to protect sensitive installations.
Few details have been released about the size of the operation or the military assets involved.
The military said troops were sealing off the North Waziristan borders and the main cities, ensuring the evacuation of civilians in addition to establishing areas where militants can surrender their weapons. The military said no operations had yet been launched in civilian areas.
Residents reached by telephone reported hearing loud explosions overnight but said they cannot go outside because there is a curfew in place.
"We have been just hearing big bangs and explosions. We can't go out to see what's happening out there," Sajid Dawar, a resident of Miran Shah, said by telephone.
Another resident, Ziaullah Khan from Mir Ali, said people were starting to run out of food because the markets had been closed for a few days.
North Waziristan is one of the last parts of the tribal regions where the military has not launched a large operation. Militant groups including the Pakistani Taliban, al-Qaida and the Haqqani network have long used the region as a base.
The Pakistani military said it has asked the Afghan government for help reinforcing its side of the border, to prevent militants from fleeing. Afghanistan and Pakistan have long accused each other of failing to act against insurgents.
Critics say Pakistan maintains a so-called "good Taliban, bad Taliban" policy in which it combats the Pakistani Taliban, who attack the state, but tolerates or supports the Afghan Taliban in order to maintain influence in the neighbouring country.
The offensive comes a week after militants laid siege to Pakistan's largest airport in an attack that shocked the country and appeared to mark a turning point in the government's thinking about military action.
But the large military operation could spark a wave of bloody reprisal attacks, especially in Karachi or Peshawar, where militants already have a sizeable presence.
Even before the airstrikes, residents in North Waziristan were leaving the area due to previous airstrikes and fear of a larger operation. So far 50,000 people have left, provincial Gov. Sardar Mehtab Ahmed Khan said.
Nawal Khan Dawar from Mir Ali said he arrived in Bannu six days ago with his family after an airstrike nearby destroyed several houses. He said he rented a house for his family but, without any work, he doesn't know how long they'll be able to stay. He's worried about other family members still in North Waziristan.
"We don't know what is happening with them. We have not heard from them," he said.
Some of the displaced were even going to Afghanistan. Mubariz Mohammad Zadran, a spokesman for the provincial governor of Afghanistan's Khost province, said over the last two weeks more than 400 families have entered from North Waziristan.
Santana reported from Islamabad. Asif Shahzad and Zarar Khan contributed from Islamabad, Adil Jawad in Karachi and Rahim Faiez from Kabul.

Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday home in Goudhurst - The Nursery
Holiday home, 3 Bedrooms, 1 Bathroom, (Sleeps 6)
In 1733 William Morland bought Court Lodge and it has been occupied by the Morland family ever since. It is believed that the house was built in 1630 and that there has been a Manor house on this site going back to the time of the Domesday Book and Lamberhurst golf club lies to the front of the estate grounds. The Nursery - so named because it was home to the family children and their nannies - occupies the front part of the upper floor with stupendous views over the Knot Garden - a maze-like hedge garden - and the golf course beyond. The surrounding grounds are approximately six acres in area, including a rose garden that was once a tennis court, a walled garden that once provided much of the food for the household, and many other lovely areas and walks. Hidden away is an atmospheric sunken garden that it is believed was a Fernery, originally designed by the famous Victorian garden designer, James Pulham in the 1860s. You are free to wander through the gardens and even help with the garden restoration work if you wish! The fantastic central location means you can visit many more historic houses, gardens and villages in the area too and Royal Tunbridge Wells is a short drive away

Poll: 4 in 10 Southerners Still Side With Confederacy
A century and a half after the opening shots of the U.S. Civil War, nearly four in 10 Southerners say they still sympathize with the Confederacy.
That's according to a new CNN poll released on the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War, when Union soldiers raised a U.S. flag over Fort Sumter in South Carolina and the opening shots of the war rang out. The poll's results reveal that the war that divided the nation for four years still divides American public opinion today.
In the South, 38 percent of respondents said they sympathize with the Confederacy, which lost the bloody war. More than 600,000 American soldiers on both sides were killed. Overall, the number from all geographic areas who said they still side with the South is less than a quarter.

Annette's main inspiration is the glass itself, and its many different facets - reflection, transparency, shadow, opalescence, depth, colour. Its mobility when hot - its fragility when cold. Please look at the website www.glasstastik.co.uk, she employs most of the glass processes and has created a few ranges to provide a signature.
Ruth works from her studio, based in Cardiff, where she produces a variety of fused and kiln formed objects of vivid colour and depth such as bowls, jewellery, as well as free standing and wall mounted pieces. She also works alongside architects to design and produce or restore leaded lights.
Keith predominantly works with Copper in glass to create bespoke bowls and dishes, but more recently, he has been involved in creating individual unique vases an Sculptural forms.
In a relatively short period of time I have been catapulted forward, accelerating my individual creativity and exploitation of the qualities of kiln formed glass. Whilst practicing and experimenting with different techniques I was excited by my intentional and accidental outcomes. By bring glass and metals together I have attempted, not only to define each pieces functionality, but also to create a strong visual attraction to 'touch and feel' the nature, outline and identity of each piece.
I am extremely excited with recent developments, particularly with my Sculptural forms and my goal is not only to make work that is certainly possible to be used functionally but also to cross the boundary of function to that of a work of art.
Lisa Sheppy works with fused glass and enamel printmaking a form which she developed whilst studying for her MA in Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking at UWE, Bristol. Ideas for the work are based on garments from historical contexts and their significance as representation of women, society and confinement.
After a career as a Graphic Designer a move to the USA prompted me to pursue a new creative direction. I studied the art and craft of Stained Glass in Connecticut and then on my return to London I began studying and working with both Kiln formed glass and Blown glass. In 2007 I set up my own professional practice. In 2010 I joined the team at London Glassblowing Studio and Gallery as Exhibition Co-ordinator and Curator.
Prisma Gallery promotes contemporary Hungarian Studio Glass, helps glass collectors and interior designers to make educated choice to obtain modern glass. We exhibit works of 13 top glass artists from Hungary.

"The enhanced trading distribution and prestige of the NYSE should provide long-term value to our shareholders," says MidSouth President and CEO Rusty Cloutier, adding NYSE is "home to many of the world's most well-established companies."
MidSouth's transition was also a welcome move for Scott Cutler, vice president and head of global listings for NYSE Euronext.
"We are delighted for MidSouth, as the company transitions platforms from NYSE MKT to NYSE, and look forward to a continued partnership with the company and its shareholders," says Cutler in a prepared release. "As one of the fastest growing community banks in the South, MidSouth Bank is a great example of a growth oriented company that can leverage NYSE's advanced and innovative market model."
MidSouth — which is headquartered in Lafayette and has 60 locations spread between Louisiana and Texas — reported having $1.9 billion in assets as of June 30.
NOV 26 Zach Kopplin, who we came to know and love when he was a Louisiana high school student lobbying for the continued inclusion of science stuff in science class, pens this post in The Atlantic about a "textbook" available for social studies instruction in Texas that discusses how Moses contributed to the Constitution. (Oy! Texas rednecks love Jews. Who knew?)
NOV 26 Finally, mad people on the interwebz is a good thing! World wide webby outrage has caused the village of Moreauville to reverse its plan to confiscate pit bulls and Rottweillers and euthanize them simply because of their breed, WAFB reports here. The plan? They're going to enforce the leash law. Well, that would have been a good place to start.
NOV 26 Jim Brown, like many of us Louisiana voters, seems fed up with out of town know-it-alls trying to tell us what to do. Bill Cassidy can't make it through the day without flying someone in to "tell us political retards" how to vote, he says.
NOV 26 Blogger Tom Aswell is writing about the behavior of the two finalists in the 6th Congressional District race: Edwin Edwards and Garret Graves. Edwards has come out swinging, but Graves' campaign seems bent on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, Tom says.
NOV 26 Blogger CB Forgotston is confused, he says, because Governor Bobby Jindal said higher education wouldn't get cut, but it looks like it is being cut. CB's asking: When is a cut not a cut?
NOV 26 Unless you're in Virigina, you shouldn't count on seeing our Governor on Election Day. Mark Ballard writes in the Advocate's political blog that Bobby will be appearing at a GOP love fest of some kind there, instead of spending the day here.
NOV 26 This post on The Lens takes a look at the ongoing dispute in New Orleans over the banners about the upcoming tax election for the school system. The banners are hanging on schools, and some feel they are promotional, which is not allowed, instead of educational - which is allowed.
NOV 26 Not all college students are focused on football games and parties at this time of year. This post on DIG Baton Rouge recounts an LSU student group that tries to make sure that those who are hungry and homeless are not forgotten by those of us who aren't.
NOV 25 Edwin Edwards took off the gloves on Monday, this post on WAFB tells us. At a Press Club appearance, he wondered how his 6th Congressional District opponent, Garret Graves, could be an expert in all the areas in which he claims to be - when he has no college degree in anything. (Five years - FIVE YEARS - in college, but no degree. Huh?)
NOV 25 Blogger Mike Deshotels offers this primer on predatory charter schools and how they operate, specifically in Louisiana. They're not just profiting from our tax dollars, they're using children and shortchanging them to do so, Deshotels says.
NOV 25 Here's a link to the petition that has been created to save Zeus, a family dog who is targeted for death by the learned fathers of the Avoyelles Parish village of Moreauville. They passed an ordinance based on nothing that outlaws pit bulls and Rotweillers. As of Tuesday morning, the petition had more than 230,000 signatures - a number that's a wee bit higher than the village population of 929.

Blog Tags: Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
British Chef Ready to Fight for Fish
British chef, television personality and Oceana friend Hugh Fearnley-Whitingstall is taking the fight against overfishing to the streets with a march to the Houses of Parliament on February 25 and an email campaign to designate 127 new marine conservation zones around Britain.
If you're an Oceana supporter across the pond we hope you'll join Chef Hugh in his fight to secure a sustainable fishing future for the U.K. As the above video points out, of Britain's more than 434,000 square miles of ocean a little over 5 square miles are fully protected. A further 90 percent of the U.K.'s ocean is vulnerable to destruction by bottom trawling and scallop dredging which, though out of sight for most of us, can devastate seafloor communities and juvenile fish habitat.
Learn More about Hugh's campaign at fishfight.net.

Description: It's great having guys like Hugh around. He is always horny and ready to blow a load. Even if he's already jerked off 2-3 times that morning, you can count on him wanting to go for round four in the afternoon. Hugh had said he loves getting a good blowjob, but, of course, he hasn't found many girls who can do the job well. After peeling his jeans off, it took just a couple turns of deep-throating his cock before it was standing rock hard, with Hugh grabbing the back of my head, moaning in appreciation as my mouth worked his shaft. My tongue made its way down his balls which made Hugh's moaning get even louder, so I moved further down, eventually pushing his legs back to expose his pink hole. Hugh's head rolled back, mouth wide open in ecstasy, as I went back and forth between rimming him and teasing his ass with my finger. I half-joked with him that he had better stand up before I pulled my dick out and fucked him.
Description: When Cy had come over for his qwicky video a few weeks ago, I really wanted to get him back for a blowjob. I love his tight furry bod and a fair number of members apparently do, too, asking to see more of him on the site. Cy was a little hesitant. Not because he was afraid of doing anything with a guy, necessarily, but he admitted that it's really hard for him to get off from bjs. I took that as a challenge. He was ready to go by the time his shorts were peeled off of him, with a cock that was growing steadily as I started sucking on it. When I pushed Cy's legs up and went between rimming him and sinking a finger into his hairy hole, he started moaning louder. That was obviously the magic button because his cock started throbbing the more I finger fucked him.
Description: Anyone who has seen Nicholas' videos knows this guy is a prime piece of beef. 5'9. 220 pounds. Big cock. Former football player. The guy is a walking fantasy. So imagine my excitement when he agreed to come back over and let me blow him (for the right price, of course). I laid the stud on my bed and got him naked. He was getting stiff before I even got my lips around his cock. He took one of his giant hands and pressed my head further down on his rock hard shaft. "You should start on my balls and lick all the way up," he suggested. When I did, Nicholas had a big grin on his face. I took my time with him: using my hand to stroke him, rubbing his thick legs and chest, taking him deep into my throat, slipping a finger in his tight ass. When I needed a break from choking on his pole, I threw his legs up in the air and started rimming his sweet hairy hole. Then, wanting an even better view, I got Nicholas on all fours. I spread his beefy cheeks apart so I could really invade his

Vermonters on scene for inauguration in D.C.By Kevin OConnor
STAFF WRITER | January 21,2013At least a thousand Vermonters and the 55-member Norwich University Regimental Band are set to represent the state today at President Barack Obamas inauguration in Washington, D.C.
Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernard Sanders and Rep. Peter Welch will have prime seats on the swearing-in stage alongside their wives and Gov. Peter Shumlin. Organizers also gave the Green Mountain congressional delegation about 1,000 free tickets for constituents to sit or stand on the lawn surrounding the U.S. Capitol during the 11:30 a.m. ceremony.
Four years ago, Leahy, Sanders and Welch, facing unprecedented demand from more than 4,000 locals, distributed most of their tickets through a lottery. This year, with expected attendance only about half of Obamas record 1.8 million crowd of 2009, we were able to honor all Vermonters requests, Leahy spokesman David Carle says.
That wasnt the case with applicants to the inaugural parade, scheduled to march down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House at 2:30 p.m. A record 2,800 groups applied for entrance in this years event, which will feature one unit from each of the 50 states.
The Vermont band boarded two buses at its Northfield campus Saturday before dawn, traveled all day and arrived at the nations capital well after dusk.
Everything is going well, the bands director, Lt. Col. Todd Edwards said by phone Sunday. Were getting all of our final paperwork in order, and students are having fun looking at the sights.
The oldest collegiate band in the country, the Regimental Band founded in 1823 has traveled to the swearing-ins of Presidents John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.
Even so, neither Edwards nor any of its current musicians has played at an inauguration. Perhaps thats why they chose a good nights sleep over crashing the Vermont State Society inaugural reception that drew several hundred people Sunday night to a Constitution Avenue venue overlooking the swearing-in stage.
The Norwich band is set to wake early this morning for security screening at the Pentagon before lining up near the Capitol. Students, slotted in the fourth of five divisions, will march the 1.6-mile route before reaching the presidents reviewing stand at the White House, where theyll play the National Emblem March, composed a century ago by Vermonter E.E. Bagley.
C-SPAN is promising live commercial-free coverage on television and its website, www.c-span.org. Vermont viewers should look for the Air Force Band leading the fourth division, then wait through the next 10 units while watching for the Tuskegee Airmen float that will precede the Norwich band.
The cadets are honored and happy, Edwards said Sunday.

The return of the snakes
Norris Lake Provincial Park
Red-sided garter snakes travel great distances every fall to return to their winter dens near Narcisse, Manitoba. Tens of thousands of these snakes migrate back to the limestone crevices that serve as winter homes, using what scientists believe are "scent trails" left by snakes travelling ahead. When fall rolls around, the central Interlake is inundated with these migratory snakes.
This week's journey lead us back to the Interlake to make two stops. The first was at Norris Lake Provincial Park. After that, we headed further north to check out the Narcisse Snake Dens. When we began this provincial park odyssey, the original plan was to visit the snake dens during the spring, when the snakes emerge from their dens and form gigantic "mating balls". However, due to changes in our schedule, we missed this brief period and the snakes had already set off for their summer habitat. We marked this past weekend on the calendar for the trip because we did not want to miss the return of the snakes to their den.
Before going to Narcisse, we stopped at Norris Lake Provincial Park. The park sits on the east shore of Norris Lake, roughly 80 kilometres north of Winnipeg, on Highway 17 and is six kilometres south of the town of Inwood. The park is pretty basic. It has a small campground, with 15 sites, including a few that are right along the lake. The park also has a day-use area and a small beach. It would be a good place to stop for a picnic, but I can't see any reason to camp for an extended period at Norris Lake.
Leaving Norris Lake, we headed north on Highway 17, passing through Inwood. Very quickly, we could tell that a mass snake migration was underway. The highway between Inwood and Narcisse was littered with the flattened bodies of snakes who were not lucky enough to make it across. Carcasses were literally everywhere. The snake migration has caused problems in Inwood in the past. Last September, an Inwood seniors' home, Inwood Manor, was infested with snakes on the return migration. Instead of going straight to their old dens, they decided to make the housing complex a new den.
The Narcisse Snake Dens are 25 kilometres north of Inwood, on Highway 17. There are four snake dens in the Narcisse Wildlife Management Area. The dens were formed when underground water eroded the limestone rock of the area. This erosion caused the surface to collapse, creating a network of caverns and crevasses in the rock. This network extends well below the frost line, making it a perfect winter home for the red-sided garter snake. In the fall, estimates of up to 50,000 snakes return to these dens resulting in the surrounding area being thick with snakes. When we were walking on the paths between the dens, snakes constantly slithered off into the bush to avoid us.
Only two of the dens appeared to be active, with snakes slithering down the rocky edges into the pits. Most congregated together on the rocks to absorb the heat of the sun. We could see some of the snakes moving deeper into the dens, preparing for their winter of semi-hibernation. When spring returns, and temperature rises, these snakes will exit the dens and form "mating balls", where one female is engulfed by dozens of males. The snakes then fan out for their summer habitat in nearby marshes, returning in the fall and repeating the process.
The snake dens would be a great place to check out in the spring or fall if you want to see this natural phenomenon that only occurs in Manitoba. However, if you suffer from ophidiophobia (fear of snakes), well maybe the Narcisse Snake Dens aren't for you.
As we move later into the fall, we're closer to accomplishing our goal of visiting all 77 road-accessible provincial parks. We only have 15 more provincial parks to visit, including such major parks as Whiteshell and Birds Hill.

Since he likely won't be up for any Marvel director of photography job, Wally Pfister is spending his post-Batman days on a new venture. As we've reported on the last year, after shooting The Dark Knight Rises with Christopher Nolan, the Oscar-winning cinematographer is stepping behind the camera again, but this time as director.
Relatively little details have been unearthed for the science-fiction project, but we've now got word on a title and a main star. Pfister has bagged perhaps one of the top Hollywood celebrities for the film titled Transendence, as none other than Johnny Depp is in talks to lead the project. THR also updates, saying that the film's style and story is being compared to 2001: A Space Odyssey and Inception as we follow a husband "who creates a computer that develops a malevolent awareness." They also say that Noomi Rapace is being looked at for a major female role, as well as James McAvoy and Tobey Maguire for the other male roles and Christoph Waltz is being offered a supporting part.
Any other sort of plot details on the script coming from first-time writer Jack Paglen have yet to be unveiled, but this casting is a huge bump for the project. With Depp not starring in Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel, perhaps this is the film he decided to do instead, but for now we'll just see him in The Lone Ranger summer. Shooting is set to begin early 2013, so hopefully we'll get more details around then, but it's safe to say we are greatly looking forward to this one.
Are you looking forward to Depp leading the project?

text: Most of the village's restaurants and bars are located on this street so, it is natural that you end up wondering there. However, I felt that it was too busy and too much hazzle. Additionally, the prices were in many places quite high. I preferred the side streets and other areas for more authentic experiences and reasonable prices.
