It also allows players to play in lotteries halfway around the world. So there are a lot of new things to digest for avid lottery fans.

It's more than just alliteration; it's a statement, a proclamation that Thursdays are when the weekend should really start. Kicking it off right is the key, and what better way than with a cocktail that not only takes the edge off, but tastes good too. A hard thing to disagree with, we know. Drink up, get down and go to sleep happy.
With Peter Berg's new movie Battleship hitting the box office this weekend, it's only natural to harbor a bit of nostalgia. If your childhood was anything like mine, you likely spent hours deliberating over imaginary missiles, simultaneously guessing the location of their respective targets. But while talk of the new Battleship movie has many longing for the old, faithful board game, it's also inspired a new, alcoholic appropriation. Never mind my battleship(s), you just sunk my liver!
Amenable to almost any board, the general gist is simple: the game carries on as usual, but this time each ship houses a certain number of shots (2 for a destroyer, 3 for a cruiser or submarine, 4 for a battleship and 5 for an aircraft carrier). If your battleship gets hit, so does your liver — with a shot of… whatever you want? Suggestions below.
If you're feeling outdoorsy, you can easily fashion your own on a table like the one shown above (via Geekologie).
No lights? No problem. Glow in the dark shot glasses will keep the battle on and liquor flowing. Sound fun? Support the Kickstarter.

Jill (Olson) Paredes '05
Spring 2011 TRINITY Magazine, Called to Go Global
Jill (Olson) Paredes '05
Major: Elementary education
Title: Teacher
"I am thankful for the many field experiences I had at Trinity, especially the opportunity to student-teach overseas. Through God's calling on my life to attend Trinity, I was equipped to continue to follow his calling to teach and to serve," said Jill (Olson) Paredes '05.
For the past few years, Paredes has been teaching junior high language arts and social studies to 6-8 grade international Christian students at Asuncion Christian Academy, a co-educational Christian day school in Asuncion, Paraguay.
She received her bachelor's in elementary education from Trinity and her master's from the University of Alabama in the overseas program. "Most rewarding for me is the knowledge that I am helping the families that are serving in Paraguay and that I am having an impact on the lives of those that will make a difference in Paraguay someday."
Paredes said that because of Trinity's intimate campus and class sizes, she received the attention and support she needed when making decisions in her education, spiritual growth, and the realization of her goals.
"Trinity provided an environment that enabled me to work toward the things I was truly passionate about," she said. "I had many mentors and influential people from Trinity, both classmates and staff, who encouraged me to pursue my desire to serve overseas."
In January 2005, Paredes traveled with her Trinity softball team to the Dominican Republic to work with SCORE International. But the Trinity experience that influenced Paredes most was serving with Dr. Patti Powell, professor of education, at the Caribbean Christian Center for the Deaf (CCCD) in Montego Bay, Jamaica, during the College's two-week Interim.
As a student, Paredes traveled with Powell each year to work on various projects and interact with the children who attend the CCCD. She completed her student teaching there in 2004 and, after graduating, continued to co-lead the Interim trips with Powell until 2009.

WAITROSE has received more than 700 applications in only three weeks of advertising the 150 vacancies at their new store in Wichelstowe.
The multi-million pound store is currently being built on the fields off Peglars Way and Foxham Way, at what will become the Wichelstowe District Centre.
Roles for the new store, which will be built on the 3.5-hectare site that will become Middle Wichel, were first advertised in December.
Waitrose then closed the application window last week after an overwhelming 724 job applications were submitted to the company.
Applicants included local unemployed people and candidates put forward by Jobcentre Plus and council initiative resources.
The company's director of development, Nigel Keen, said: "We have had a phenomenal response and are encouraged by the calibre of applications we've received. "We are grateful that so many people are eager to work for our business, and look forward to a successful future at the Wichelstowe store."
The supermarket will now sift through the applications before inviting the most suitable candidates to interview in February.
The company will have to whittle down the candidates to a choice 150 staff.
As Partners, all employees will be entitled to exclusive benefits, including shopping and leisure discounts, leisure and learning subsidies and a share in profits in the form of an annual bonus.
A spokesman from Wait-rose said: "We are thrilled by the volume of applications we've received during the recruitment process for our new store in Swindon and are very impressed by their high calibre.
"We advertised for a number of different roles, ranging from managerial positions to in-store sales assistants, and in total we will be taking on approximately 150 new employees who will all become Partners in the John Lewis Partnership.
"This will be our first Waitrose store in Swindon and we are very excited about being part of the new development in Wichelstowe. "The new store is now taking shape and we are looking forward to opening our doors to customers this spring."
Construction of the new store caused havoc last month when Mill Lane and Foxham Way were closed without warning to allow building to take place.
The roads are now expected to be closed until the end of February.

In the previous post Cat Arthritis And Magnetic Therapy, we saw how magnetic therapy can help alleviate the arthritis pain in cats in a drug free manner. This post will continue on this topic of magnetic therapy treatment for cats.
How magnetic therapy works in pets
It is well known that a magnet in its basic form is iron or steel object charged in an electromagnetic field. These magnets can be of ferrite core or natural earth materials like boron and iron. Each magnet is characterized by the presence of a north pole and a south pole.
When a cat is exposed to the north pole of a magnet, there are numerous beneficial effects that helps it gain drug free cat arthritis pain relief and reduction of hyperactivity.
Pet magnetic therapy treatment benefits
- Helps in relaxation of muscles
- Reduces the blood pressure
- Healing of fractures by bringing down the acidity which helps bones heal quicker
- Decrease in the growth of bacteria and viruses
- Reduction in the growth of abnormal cells
- Enhances the blood circulation which reduces inflammation
- Increase in the red blood cell count
- Stimulate tissues and increase the oxygen flow to tissues
There are two important things to be aware of when subjecting cats to magnetic therapy treatment.
Firstly, cat owners are strongly advised to consult their veterinarian before subjecting their cat to magnetic therapy.
Secondly, do not use the south pole of the magnet to treat cats especially if they have infections. Using the south pole of the magnet over the cat's head can be deleterious causing abnormal behavior. Also an increase in white blood cell count can increase inflammation.
Different forms of magnetic therapy treatment for cats
It is to be remembered that the blood circulation in the bodies of pets, especially cats and dogs is much quicker than in humans. Because of their comparatively smaller body size, the blood circulates rapidly in pets and this paves the way for better and more rapid absorption of magnetic fields in cats and dogs than humans.
When magnets are placed around the neck of a cat, in the form of a magnetic collar, the magnetic fields emitted are absorbed by the carotid artery really fast. This artery is crucial in carrying the oxygen from the cat's heart to the head and neck.
The enhanced blood circulation in pets results in stimulating the tissues and reducing the inflammation in the joints of the cat affected by arthritis.
Another ideal form of magnetic therapy treatment for cats is the pet magnetic bed which exposes the whole body of the cat to beneficial magnetic fields and helps alleviate the arthritic pain in the joints and also helps the cat gain a sound night's sleep.
Moreover, the use of magnetic therapy on cats drastically reduces the attacks of parasites like ear mites and fleas as these cannot survive in an electromagnetic field leaving the cats with no itching sensation and reduced risk of infection.
PetMag from Woolrest BioMag
The pet magnetic bed from Woolrest BioMag called the PetMag consists of powerful permanent magnets embedded strategically in luxurious Australian wool helping cats gain drug free pain relief from arthritis.
Lying on a PetMag helps your catt in getting a sound night's sleep and allows it to move around freely with easing of joints affected by arthritis after a few nights of sleeping on the pet magnetic bed. Try a PetMag for the most natural cat pain relief treatment possible.

2. Is Your IT Team On Board?
If you like what you see in Windows 8.1, it's important to ask: Do you have the necessary IT skills and resources for a successful upgrade? It's a particularly critical question for the "S" in SMB, according to Forrester analyst David Johnson. "The smaller the organization, the less likely they are to have the skills and tools necessary to do a full migration of both all of their PCs and all of their applications," Johnson said in an email.
In that scenario, there's a good chance that you rely on outside IT help. Even then, though, don't just assume your provider is ready and able to deploy Windows 8, new touchscreen devices, Windows 8 apps and so on.
"It is a two-step process for SMBs, excluding very small businesses that buy from retail, of moving from operating system to another," Agrawal said. "First, their resellers have to be convinced [of Windows 8's benefits] because they will have to provide support on the new PCs."
3. Will Windows 8.1 Break Stuff You Already Use?
The second step: "SMBs will have to be convinced that Windows 8.1 will not disrupt the functioning of their [existing] accessories, networks, peripherals and applications," Agrawal said. Indeed, compatibility can be a major issue in any OS upgrade -- such headaches are a key reason why some SMBs stick with XP, for example. This gets back to those requisite IT resources: You've got to be able to test, test, and test some more. Otherwise, an upgrade could become an IT disaster.
This could be an easier question to answer if you're heavily invested in cloud applications rather than on-premises infrastructure. Compatibility challenges are often diminished -- or at least outsourced -- for those SMBs.
"Smaller companies -- especially those less than maybe 1,000 people -- can more often move into cloud-based services and other things that make operating system versions less important," Johnson said.
4. What Are Your Alternatives?
There's no rule that says an OS upgrade must be an all-or-nothing proposition. Nor does it always pay off to have the "latest and greatest" version. Do your homework. Test new devices and apps. Take time to make a well-informed decision, especially if you're already on Windows 7. For many SMBs, it doesn't make sense to pay the early adoption tax. Similarly, it doesn't make sense to write off Windows 8 simply because some people don't like it.
As an alternative, consider doing a small deployment for testing, usability and other purposes. Even Microsoft recommends this for companies happy with their Windows 7 environments. Doing so can help answer question three, for starters. "The biggest support issues come into play when the first PC with a new OS is connected to the network," Agrawal said. Beyond compatibility and productivity, this kind of controlled test will better enable you to make the right decision for your business rather than relying on vendor-speak or conventional wisdom. Of course, therein lies the burden of proof for Microsoft and Windows 8.1.
"If the process is not intuitive and smooth, and the experience is not one of delight, the use of Windows 8.1-based PCs will be stalled until it stabilizes and [IT providers] have understood all the potential problem areas associated with working on a new PC," Agrawal said. "If everything fails, the SMBs and the resellers will quickly downgrade to Windows 7 because they know it is a stable OS."

Despite the heat, we all barreled forward with an ambition work plan AND got to break in the brand new tiller we were fortunate enough to receive through our first-ever garden grant - thank you Keep Arizona Beautiful!!!!
With the tiller, we were able to get more work done in one day than ever before. We prepped the entire ROW bed on the South side of the garden, built berms, and tilled composted organic manure into the soil. After one day that entire area is ready for seeds! Such great work.
When they were done with that, our beautiful, hard working, super ambitious volunteers completely leveled and mulched our new outdoor learning area. The outdoor learning area is something we wanted to create for when we have large groups out to Garden, for example the Bioscience High School students who we've newly embarked on a partnership with as part of their Connections Endeavors and Community Action for Nutrition (CAN) programs.
All in all, I was thoroughly impressed with the community effort we had on Sunday and can't wait till this Sunday!
(If you want to get involved, just show up! Garden Volunteer Days are every Sunday from 10am - 2pm.)

Idaho Immigration
This entry was originally written by Dwight A. Radford for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
No common port of entry existed for overseas immigrants who settled in Idaho, nor were there any railroads or emigration trails. Those who arrived and remained in Idaho developed their society in relative isolation. Idaho did have one port of entry at the Canadian border through which immigrants could migrate. By 1924 Idaho was under the jurisdiction of the Spokane, Washington, Office of the Bureau of Immigration. Port of entry was at Eastport, Idaho. Eastport records are filed with the Seattle passenger lists (1890–1957) at the National Archives. These have been microfilmed but are not indexed. Additional information on people entering through Eastport, Idaho, may be obtained from a search of the (so-called) St. Albans, Vermont District records (see Vermont Immigration), which are indexed.

Ray Lewis knows exactly how he wants to end his storied 17-year National Football League (NFL) career, but the Baltimore Ravens linebacker prefers to measure his life by more than gridiron results.
Lewis yearns to raise the Lombardi Trophy for a second time and needs a road win over the New England Patriots in Sunday's AFC championship game to reach his first Super Bowl since the Ravens' triumph in 2001.
The 37-year-old inspirational leder of the Ravens, and 13-time Pro Bowl selection, said he has told team mates about the sweeetest words he has ever heard on the job.
"How can you top the moment of hearing those famous words, 'Ravens have won the Super Bowl.' When you play the game, that is what you play the game for. You play and hope that one day you hear those words," Lewis told reporters during a conference call on Thursday.
"That is what I am trying to get this team to go back and hear one more time. So they can really feel what it feels like. Because once you hear it, like I tell all of them, your life will never be the same again.
"Once you are a champion, you are always a champion, and that is probably one of the greatest things I will remember of all time."
Yet the man who founded the Ray Lewis 52 Foundation to help underprivileged youth in Baltimore keeps the job of football in perspective.
"Off the field, it's just impacting lives ... success is one thing; I've always believed impact is another. To go out in the communities and change someone's life, for real change their life, I believe that's what all of our jobs should be one day."
Many Ravens are rallying to send Lewis off on a high note.
"We are dealing with always a 'last' around here. This is Ray Lewis's last hurrah," said Baltimore's running-receiving threat Ray Rice.
"Our General, our Captain - this is it for him. If you want to call it riding that emotional high, of course we are, because we are dealing with something that is going to be a last. We would like to send him out the right way."
Even the Patriots paid respect to Lewis.
"It's really a pleasure to play against him," said New England's Tom Brady, who has won more NFL playoff games than any other quarterback (17).
"He's really been so consistent over the years and durable and tough. He's so instinctive. He doesn't give up hardly any plays, makes a ton of tackles."
Patriots' nose tackle Vince Wilfork also paid tribute.
"When you talk about football, especially defense, the first person you think about is that guy. What he brings to the team. What he brings to the game. The love and the passion that he has for the game," said Wilfork.
Lewis said the winning or losing was not most important.
"I think the greatest thing you can ever be remembered for is the impact and things that you had on other people," he said.
"At the end of the day, with all of the men that I've been around, to one day look back here and listen to men say, 'He was one of people who helped changed my life,' is probably one of the greatest legacies to be remembered for."

"Prison Break" star Wentworth Miller came out in August 2013 after being invited to attend the St. Petersburg International Film Festival in Russia. In the midst of massive anti-gay violence and legislation throughout the country at that time, he decided it was time to go public about his sexuality. "Thank you for your kind invitation. As someone who has enjoyed visiting Russia in the past and can also claim a degree of Russian ancestry, it would make me happy to say yes," the 41-year-old wrote in a letter to the festival's director, which was posted on GLAAD's website. "However, as a gay man, I must decline."
The "Silence of the Lambs" star ended years of rampant media speculation when she casually came out of the closet while accepting her Cecil B. Demille award at the 2013 Golden Globes. "I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the Stone Age," she said in the speech. "In those very quaint days when a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends, and family, coworkers and then gradually, proudly, to everyone who knew her."
The "X-Files" actress revealed she's had numerous relationships with women in a 2012 interview with Out magazine. The 43-year-old mother of three, who's long enjoyed a sizable lesbian fanbase, told Out that she first had a relationship with a woman while still in high school, after moving from her native England to suburban Michigan. "If I had thought I was 100 percent gay, would it have been a different experience for me?" Anderson, who was voted "Most Bizarre" and "Most Likely to Be Arrested" in high school, ponders. "Would it have been a bigger deal if shame had been attached to it and all those things that become huge life-altering issues for youngsters in that situation? It's possible that my attitude around it came, on some level, from knowing that I still liked boys."
Anderson Cooper's sexuality had been scrutinized for years but it wasn't until July 2012 that he finally addressed the issue when he came out in an email to his friend and fellow journalist, Andrew Sullivan, this summer. In Cooper's message, which was posted on Sullivan's blog, "The Dish," on The Daily Beast, the CNN anchor states, "The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn't be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud."
Award-winning filmmaker Lana Wachowski, who's best known for co-writing and -directing the "Matrix" trilogy with her brother, Andy Wachowski, is the first major Hollywood director to come out as transgender in July 2012. The Chicago native recently released "Cloud Atlas" and received the Human Rights Campaign's Visibility Award in October 2012, where she delivered a revealing and heartfelt speech (VIDEO).
Raven-Symone came out via Twitter in early August 2013 after long-term speculation surrounding the actress' sexuality. I can finally get married! Yay government! So proud of you— Raven-Symonè (@MissRavenSymone) August 2, 2013 Raven-Symone confirmed the subtle coming out by retweeting of her followers congratulating the star. In a statement to E! News, the actress said: "I am very happy that gay marriage is opening up around the country and is being accepted. I was excited to hear today that more states legalized gay marriage. I, however am not currently getting married, but it is great to know I can now, should I wish to."
Long rumored to be gay, the actor, most famous for his roles on "Heroes" and in the recent "Star Trek" film, came out in a October 2011 New York magazine profile, saying: "In light of Jamey's [Rodemeyer] death -- it became clear to me in an instant that living a gay life without publicly acknowledging it -- is simply not enough to make any significant contribution to the immense work that lies ahead on the road to complete equality. Our society needs to recognize the unstoppable momentum toward unequivocal civil equality for every gay lesbian bisexual and transgendered citizen of this country."
In December 2009 Baxter, most famous for playing Elyse Keaton on '80s sitcom "Family Ties," went on the "Today Show" and told Matt Lauer that she was a lesbian. Baxter said, "Some people would say, well, you're living a lie and, you know, the truth is -- not at all. This has only been for the past seven years."
No mainstream black male hip-hop artist had ever come out until Frank Ocean did in July 2012, just before he debuted his first solo album, "Channel Orange." The singer-songwriter posted a Tumblr post which read, in part, "4 summers ago, I met somebody. I was 19. He was too. We spent that summer, and the summer after, together. Everyday almost. And on the days we were together, time would glide." After that, Ocean received support from fellow hip-hop artists Jay-Z (and wife, Beyoncé), 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes and more. Daryl Hannah, director of media and community partnerships for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation said, "[The support for Frank is] an extension of the overall kind of support we're seeing across the country for LGBT people, and not just in a broad sense, but specifically from iconic members of the black community."
The comedian and actress came out in November 2008 while speaking at an anti-Prop 8 rally in Las Vegas. Sykes said in part: "I got married Oct. 25, I don't really talk about my sexual orientation, I felt like I was living my life, I wasn't in the closet, but I was just living my life. Everybody who knows me personally, they know I'm gay. And that's the way people should be able to live our lives, really. We shouldn't have to be standing out here demanding something we automatically should have as citizens of this country."
This Nickelodeon star and YouTube sensation came out at 19 via an Internet question and answer session with friend and actress Jennifer Veal, telling fans "I'm gay." "My family and friends have known for like three years, I just haven't felt the need to announce it on the Internet," he explained. At one point during the video he turned and asked Veal: "How come you didn't have to make a video saying you're straight?"
The 34-year-old "White Collar" hunk thanked his partner Simon Halls and his three children during Saturday's Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards, where he received the New Generation Arts and Activism Award for his work in the fight against HIV/AIDS. "I'd really especially like to thank my beautiful family: Simon, Kit, Walker, Henry," he told the crowd. "Thank you for teaching me what unconditional love is. You will always be my proudest accomplishment."
"Secrets of a Restaurant Chef" host Anne Burrell confirmed she's a lesbian and in a committed relationship with a woman, just days after "Chopped" host Ted Allen made a reference to her sexuality in a radio interview. "Anne doesn't feel she was outed," Burrell's rep told Page Six. "She has made no secret of her relationship." The rep went on to note, "Her significant other is a very private woman. They have been together for a couple of years and spend a lot of time together."
The singer's sexuality was always a topic of discussion for viewers when he was performing on "American Idol," but Lambert didn't come out until after the competition had wrapped. In a June 2009 Rolling Stone cover story, Lambert said, "Right after the finale [of "AI"], I almost started talking about it to the reporters, but I thought, 'I'm going to wait for Rolling Stone, that will be cooler,'.. I didn't want the Clay Aiken thing and the celebrity-magazine bullshit. I need to be able to explain myself in context."
New York Times scribe Patrick Healy confirmed "The Big Bang Theory" star's sexuality as part of a profile. The revelation came late in the article, when Healy describes the 39-year-old actor's role in the 2011 revival of Larry Kramer's HIV/AIDS crisis drama, "The Normal Heart." Wrote Healy: '"The Normal Heart" resonated with him on a few levels: Mr. Parsons is gay and in a 10-year relationship, and working with an ensemble again onstage was like nourishment, he said." Though the Times didn't identify Parsons' partner, he has been romantically liked with art director Todd Spiewak (pictured).
Punk band Against Me!'s lead singer made headlines in May with the announcement that she is transgender and will be now known as Laura Jane Grace. The musician, who shared her story in Rolling Stone, said "For me, the most terrifying thing about this was how she [my wife, Heather] would accept the news. But she's been super-amazing and understanding." The couple has a 2-year-old daughter.
The "Sex And The City" star was out-ed in 2004 when the NY Daily News and the New York Post reported she was living with another woman in September 2004. Nixon half-heartedly confirmed the rumors when she told the Daily News, "My private life is private... But at the same time, I have nothing to hide. So what I will say is that I am very happy."
ABC's "Good Morning America" weatherman, Sam Champion,, not only came out of the closet in October 2012, he also announced his engagement to longtime boyfriend, Rubem Robierb, at the same time. The New York Times subtly mentioned the news in an article about MSNBC personality Thomas Roberts' recent wedding, where Champion and Robierb were guests. After his revelation, Champion, 51, discussed about his plans on "GMA" and thanked everyone for their support (see video clip).
Kelly McGillis, known as who starred opposite Tom Cruise in "Top Gun," revealed she's gay on lesbian website SheWired.com. McGillis, who was married twice to men and has two daughters, said, "It's a part of being true to yourself. That's been a challenge for me personally."
The "Glee" actor came out on the "Chelsea Lately Show" in December 2009: Chelsea Handler: "Your character on the show's gay. We know that you're gay. That's good for you. Congratulations. Don't be shy about that. Seriously. You shouldn't be shy about that because every time...an actor like you is helping a zillion other people that are scared to talk about their sexuality so good for you." Chris Colfer: "Thank you. You know what my answer to that question was prior to coming out -- was that I was straight as every other actor in Hollywood."
Breakout, up-and-coming actor Ezra Miller, who stars in "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," came out as queer in an interview with Out magazine in August. The 20-year-old actor, who's also known for his big screen roles on "City Island" and "We Need To Talk About Kevin," told Out: "I have a lot of really wonderful friends who are of very different sexes and genders. I am very much in love with no one in particular."
Sara Gilbert, who's best known for her role on "Roseanne," officially came out in 2010. At that time, she was getting ready to launch "The Talk," a daytime talk show which focuses on parenthood and families, so Gilbert felt compelled to acknowledge her sexuality. "I don't ever really think of things as out or in," Gilbert said. "I just think I am who I am, and when topics come up that are appropriate, I'll talk about them and share when it seems right."
Chaz Bono revealed his plan to transition in May 2009. TMZ.com broke the story via a prepared statement from Bono's publicist that read, in part: "Yes, it's true -- Chaz, after many years of consideration, has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity... He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by his loved ones. It is Chaz's hope that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue, just as his 'coming out' did nearly 20 years ago."
Andrew Rannells has had a stellar year. Since nabbing a Tony nomination for Best Leading Actor in a Musical for the Broadway blockbuster "The Book of Mormon," Rannells went on to star in HBO's "Girls" and ABC's "The New Normal." In November, the 34 year old was named to Out magazine's prestigious "OUT100" list. "I feel very proud to be a part of The New Normal," Rannells told Out. "I hope that it's considered to be a part of the evolution of gay relationships on television. Coming from Nebraska, it's exciting to me that people I went to grade school with, people that I grew up going to church with, are watching the show."
"Bold and the Beautiful" star Joanna Johnson became daytime soap opera's only active "out" actor when she said she was a lesbian in May. Johnson said she feared coming out would prohibit her from getting acting roles. Johnson told TV Guide in an exclusive interview that she's married to L.A. club promoter Michelle Agnew, with whom she has two children, five-year-old Julian and Harlow, who is two.
After being caught performing a "lewd act" in a public restroom, Michael came out to CNN in April 1998. Michael said, "This is as good of a time as any... I want to say that I have no problem with people knowing that I'm in a relationship with a man right now. I have not been in a relationship with a woman for almost 10 years." Later that year Michael spoofed the incident in the music video for his single "Outside."
The CNN news anchor came out to the New York Times in May 2011. Lemon told the paper, "It's quite different for an African-American male... It's about the worst thing you can be in black culture. You're taught you have to be a man; you have to be masculine. In the black community they think you can pray the gay away."
Comedian Todd Glass came out in January in an episode of the "WTF with Marc Maron" podcast. Glass cited the slew of LGBT teen suicides as his impetus for coming out. He told Maron: "I cannot listen to stories about kids killing themselves any longer without thinking [to myself], 'When are you going to have a little blood on your shirt for not being honest about who you are?'"
Everyone loves Rosie. In a June episode of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," Rosie Pierri candidly came out to her sister, Kathy Wakile, a main cast member, proclaiming, "God made me this way. That's it." Pierri spoke with The Huffington Post in May before the episode aired and shared that she was a "late bloomer," who didn't come to the realization until her 30s.
The New Kids On The Block singer was out-ed by fellow '80s teen pop star Tiffany in January 2011 when she revealed she dated Knight before "he became gay later." In response, Knight posted a message on his website stating in part: "I have never been outed by anyone but myself! I did so almost twenty years ago. I never know that I would have to do it all over again publicly just because I reunited with NKOTB! I have lived my life very openly and have never hidden the fact that I am gay!"
In March 2009 pop star Ricky Martin posted a message on his website telling the world, "I am a fortunate homosexual man."
Long dogged by rumors about his sexuality, the "Will and Grace" actor finally came out in The Advocate in April 2010: "I am who I am. I was never in, as they say. Never," he said.
In May 2010 the British rapper came out in Diva magazine. Sovereign said: "Magazines would always ask about it but [questions about my sexuality] would get stopped by my publicists. It was my choice, too, because I was a bit worried about it but now I don't really give a shit. You can't hide away forever. It's just stupid and now I've come out I feel a lot more comfortable with myself. But it was a bit scary back then because some people do have horrible opinions."
T.R. Knight's coming out wasn't necessarily ideal. The actor, who played George O'Malley on ABC's Grey's Anatomy, was called a "faggot" by co-star Isaiah Washington, prompting Knight to stand up for himself and others. He told Ellen DeGeneres, "I've never been called that to my face. So I think when that happened, something shifted, and it became bigger than myself."
People magazine reported In January 2012 that Kristy McNichol, who was beloved for playing Buddy Lawrence in the '70s show "Family," for which she won an Emmy, and later Barbara Weston on the "Golden Girls" spin-off "Empty Nest," revealed she is a lesbian because she is "approaching 50" and wants to "be open about who I am." McNichol also cited the wave of antigay bullying stories for coming out, hoping to help bullied LGBT youth who need support.
After Benji Schwimmer won the second season of Fox's long-running hit series "So You Think You Can Dance," the 28-year-old dancer-choreographer became somewhat of a Mormon rockstar. But in a tell-all, five-hour interview for "Mormon Stories," Schwimmer came out and discussed at length his homosexuality and the church's views on the issue. He spoke with Out magazine in June and said: "I get at least 10 emails a day from kids that say, I was going to kill myself, and I heard something in the podcast that rang true to me, and I'm holding on. For that validation alone—it's nice that Perez Hilton and Out are covering this, but just that personal touch is what it's about. For the last year, I didn't hide it. I held hands with a boyfriend in the streets. I kissed him in bars—in straight bars. I don't give a fuck."
After becoming a father in August of 2008, the "American Idol" runner up came out on the cover of People magazine in September 2008 saying, "[Coming out] was the first decision I made as a father... I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to raise a child to do that."
History was made in October when active professional featherweight boxer Orlando Cruz of Puerto Rico came out. He said in a USA Today article, "I've been fighting for more than 24 years and as I continue my ascendant career, I want to be true to myself. I want to try to be the best role model I can be for kids who might look into boxing as a sport and a professional career." He continued, "I have and will always be a proud Puerto Rican. I have always been and always will be a proud gay man."
Country singer Chely Wright came out in May 2010. She told People magazine, "There had never, ever been a country music artist who had acknowledged his or her homosexuality... I wasn't going to be the first." But she changed her mind and said of her decision, "Nothing in my life has been more magical than the moment I decided to come out."
The flamboyant singer-songwriter played coy about his sexuality for many years before finally coming out as gay in the September 2012 issue of Instinct magazine. Mika told the magazine: "If you ask me am I gay, I say yeah... Are these songs about my relationship with a man? I say yeah. And it's only through my music that I've found the strength to come to terms with my sexuality beyond the context of just my lyrics. This is my real life."
The 'N Sync pop star came out on the cover of People magazine in July 2006. When asked why he decided to come out then, Bass said, "The main reason I wanted to speak my mind was that (the rumors) really were starting to affect my daily life. Now it feels like it's on my terms. I'm at peace with my family, my friends, myself and God so there's really nothing else that I worry about."
Hong Kong's fourth annual LGBT Pride Parade in November saw beloved Cantonese pop star Denise Ho come out as a lesbian. This announcement made her the first mainstream female singer in Hong Kong to say she's gay, according to several Hong Kong media outlets. "As a celebrity, I think I have an obligation, a duty to stand forward for the sake of love and equality," the 35-year-old singer told the crowd.
"I personally think that if you deny something or if you hide something you're inadvertently admitting it's wrong. I don't feel like I'm wrong," said actress Amber Heard, 26, who came out while attending GLAAD's 25th anniversary party. Heard has starred in movies like as "Pineapple Express" and "Zombieland."
In an interview with Rolling Stone in October 1976, the rock star came out by saying, "There's nothing wrong with going to bed with somebody of your own sex. I think everybody's bisexual to a certain degree. I don't think it's just me. It's not a bad thing to be. I think you're bisexual. I think everybody is."
Financial guru Suze Orman came out in a 2007 New York Times Magazine article. The 61-year-old Chicago native was asked if she was married in the interview, which prompted her to officially come out and set the record straight (so to speak).
"Frasier" actor David Hyde Pierce kept a low profile and subtly came out in an article on CNN where he mentioned his longtime partner, TV writer and producer Brian Hargrove. Later, while on "The View", Pierce spoke about Hargrove and his sexuality and said,"What you choose to talk about yourself is a personal decision."
The "Doogie Howser, MD" and "How I Met Your Mother Star" came out on the cover of People magazine in November of 2006. Harris told the magazine: "The public eye has always been kind to me, and until recently I have been able to live a pretty normal life. Now it seems there is speculation and interest in my private life and relationships. So, rather than ignore those who choose to publish their opinions without actually talking to me, I am happy to dispel any rumors or misconceptions and am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest and feel most fortunate to be working with wonderful people in the business I love."
The former Savage Garden front man came out by marrying Richard Cullen in June 2006. He announced the civil union on his website saying in part: "As so many of you have given me your heart and soul over the past 10 years I thought it only fitting that I too return the respect and inform you of the most significant event in my life... On June 19th 2006 I married my boyfriend of two years, Richard, in a Civil Partnership ceremony in London."
The beloved George Takei, known as Sulu on "Star Trek," came out in a 2005 article in Frontiers, a biweekly LGBT Los Angeles magazine. Takei, 75, cited the political landscape surrounding LGBT issues as one reason for coming out. Since then, Takei has been an outspoken (and humorous) advocate for LGBT rights.
The actress had been out to friends for quite some time, but she told the entire world in the fall of 2005 in interviews with Details magazine and The Advocate. "I've had my years of being not open, many years of it... It's an honor for me to do this; it's just nice to be asked," de Rossi said in her September 2005 Advocate cover story, her first with the gay press.
The actress, perhaps best known for her role as tormented teen Dawn Wiener in the film "Welcome To The Dollhouse," came out in August 2004 by telling the NY Daily News about falling in love with Caroline Murphy: "I met the person I'm so madly crazy in love with...She's not famous yet. She will be. She wants to do musical theater and stage, which is not as demoralizing as the movie business is."
The comedian and talk show host came out by revealing "I'm a dyke!" during her stand up act at the Ovarian Cancer Research benefit at Carolines Comedy Club in February 2002.
The hilarious Nathan Lane, who's well known for starring in films like "The Birdcage," officially came out in an interview with The Advocate in 1999. In the issue, the 56-year-old Emmy- and Tony-winner said, "It's never been something I kept a secret." But Matthew Shepard's murder led the actor to publicly coming out. "It was like somebody slapped me awake," Lane said. "At this point it's selfish not to do whatever you can."
DeGeneres came out in 1997, both in real life and on TV, on her sitcom "Ellen." "The Puppy Episode," which aired in April 1997, featured a who's who of Hollywood, including Oprah Winfrey, Demi Moore, Billy Bob Thornton, and Laura Dern as Ellen's love interest. DeGeneres's character became the first openly gay prime time lead character on television.
The rock star came out in January 1993 during the Triangle ball, the first ever ball thrown for the LGBT community during a president's inauguration, in this case Clinton's. Etheridge recalls: "I didn't even think, Oh, I'm going to come out here...It was, 'Gee, I'm really excited to be here, and I'm really proud to have been a lesbian all my life.' And a big cheer went up through the whole hall, and k.d. [lang] came out and hugged me. I remember walking back, and my friend said, 'I think you came out!'"

I am new to the site, but if you like my video I upload videos daily of my bird
I got my bird from a breeder, shes a hybrid of a Green Cheek Conure and a Black Cap Conure. Her mother was a Black Cap and her father was a Green Cheek, she born on 1/13/2012 so she is 5months and 9 days in the video, now shes almost 6 months old. She loves to fly on you if you are just sitting there watching T.V. or minding your own business. She is an amazing bird!
Skip to 54 so you didn't have to watch the beginning of the video.
I would like to hear a bit about your birds in the comments

When the Jets let off the gas after a 21-3 lead at Lambeau Field, they probably doomed themselves. Now they get a Bears team coming off an impressive upset win at San Francisco with a rally similar to the Packers' charge.
Chicago is banged up, but if it can get the right matchups for Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery against New York's sieve of a secondary, watch out.
New York owns an odd double, leading the league in both rushing offense and rushing defense.

Brian McGovern, formerly of the popular local sketch team The Other Other Guys, is one of the curators behind the Mike's Hard's Hard Laughs Festivade Sketch Comedy Festival, which takes over the Upstairs Gallery tomorrow, (Saturday 1/12). The lineup features performances from Sovereign, TV Screams, Morgan Lord & Anthony Oberbeck, Claire Mulaney, Gary Richardson, and John Reynolds, plus drink specials from mixologist Carmen Christopher.
The Steamroller: What's your relationship with the Chicago comedy scene (and the sketch scene in particular)?
Brian McGovern: I love the sketch scene in the city. It's a deceptively small group of super hard-working people. When you see 10,000 performers from 2,000 groups are performing at Chicago Sketchfest it makes it seem like sketch is this booming, over-saturated thing. But then you look at the lineup, and see the people and groups that are out there hustling for the 50 other weeks in the year, maybe like a dozen stick out from that list. I want the sketch scene to be more vibrant and be populated by 10,000 people, but it seems like a lot of performers need a big festival, or a contest, or an audition to feel motivated to write anything.
That's the real scene to me. And admittedly I'm excluding what might be just as awesome of a community by not including whatever is happening in the minor leagues of Second City, but I'm most interested in people who are at it all the time, pushing past singing about relationship clichés, or performing sketches called "Crazy Blind Date" and "The Third Thing I'm Going to Say Is Going to Be the Funniest, I Promise You." Not that those can't work. I mean guys, blind dates ARE crazy... and the third thing is ALWAYS the funniest.
TS: You were a member of The Other Other Guys, a team that a lot of folks were fans of, what was the reasoning behind your dissolution last year?
BM: Two founding members, Eric Roth and Eric Siegel, moved to L.A. I think it was good timing though. We had been developing a style and voice since we started working together and we really hit our stride while doing The Other Other Show at iO. Every month was new and the shows became less about making sketches and more about trying to pull off these absurd, sprawling narratives. I loved it, but it felt appropriate to retire that before it destroyed us or got stale.
TS: What are you working on these days?
BM: I am working on a show with Devin Bockrath (also from The Other Other Guys) that will run at iO in February. It will be crazy. I'm also directing a show by the sketch duo Sovereign that starts on Jan. 18 at CIC. There will be nudity.
I am also the least funny and confident cast member at Holy Fuck Comedy Hour at Annoyance and I run a weekly sketch variety show at CIC called All of It All the Time with Mike Klasek. I haven't really contributed much to this site, but you can see my headshot at http://killallcomedy.com/
TS: You work for Jellyvision writing for You Don't Know Jack, what's an average day for you like over there?
BM: Sorry, I just got distracted thinking about how crazy blind dates are. Think of all the personality quirks that person might have! And you wouldn't know until you get to the restaurant! Not only that, but there could be a waiter that is both unrealistically sassy AND attentive!
Anyways, an average day at Jellyvision consists of reminding people they can play YOU DON'T KNOW JACK on Facebook and their Apple Devices!!! Lately though I've mostly been working on this new game that everyone will love.
TS: What was the inspiration for Mike's Hard's Hard Laughs Festivade Sketch Comedy Festival? Is there a common thread connecting the various performers on the lineup?
BM: I brought up Sketchfest earlier and the only reason I'm bringing it up again is because the common thread of this show is that nearly all of it's performers had to politely decline the opportunity to perform at Sketchfest. We would have paid the $50 it costs to apply. We would have bugged our friends to pay $14 to see us play. We would have sold out shows for multiple years in the past only to be denied from performing at this year's festival. We would have done all of that, but then I got a call from Mike's Hard Lemonade.
TS: How did you come to work with Mike's Hard?
BM: Mike's Hard Lemonade is a great company. Mike's Hard is really dedicated to supporting local artists who exhibit the same HARD EDGE and BITING ATTITUDE that is consistent with their brand. All of the performers at the Festivade (including John Reynolds, TV Screams, Sovereign, Gary Richardson, and Morgan Lord & Anthony Oberbeck) all perform refreshing and thirst-quenching sketch comedy that leaves you feeling as good as you would feel after taking a shot of grain alcohol filtered through a stack of tangy Airheads.
So when their head of alternative-marketing, Margaret Demonvessel, called me up I was honestly surprised at being surprised. It really is the perfect fit for a perfect night of comedy. So they graciously gave us the funds to put up the show at Upstairs Gallery ($10,000) and the rest is Hard-story (which is Mike's Hard Lemonade's edgy-revisionist view of history).
Anthony Oberbeck said it best when I approached him about performing, "If life gives you hard things, make hard lemonade." And let me tell you, this Festivade is going to be standing at attention, ready to chip a tooth.
TS: What can an audience member expect when coming out to the show this weekend?
BM: Because of Mike's Hard Lemonade's generous ($10,000) donation, people can expect to see FREE comedy at Upstairs Gallery starting at 8 p.m. They can also expect a couple of folks from the Mike's Hard Lemonade company popping in to talk about the product and why it's always been the most important part of the alternative comedy scene, even if no one has known it.
The head of mixology from Mike's Hard Lemonade, Carmen Christopher, will be there teaching everyone how dope mixed drinks can be once they get hard, Mike's-style. Also the P.R. extraordinaire, Margaret Demonvessel (who looks an awful like local comedian/improviser Claire Mulaney) will also be there. Basically it will be the best night of sketch comedy this two week period in January has ever seen. And that's a hard promise.
