Full details will be released at CES next month, but we've got a bit more info after the jump. Advertisement Available in 3.1-Megapixel and 5-Megapixel models, you shoot your subject by lining it up in the crosshairs on the mask. LED lights on the glass indicate whether you're in video or stills mode. A USB port allows you to download from its 16MB internal memory, and there's an SD card slot allowing you to bump that up so you can shoot your swimming-pool version of Jaws. Price of the Liquid Image Camera-Mask hasn't been finalized yet, but we think that the smaller version will cost $99. [Liquid Image via Krunker]Reply5 repliesLeave a reply

During the last 50 years more than 40 original buildings from different historical periods have been re-erected in the museum's 100-acre parkland, including a farm, school, chapel and workmen's institute.
Replica items have been used to furnish the house to show how it may have looked in the period around 1580, by which time goods were being traded to and from Bristol and the West Country. Haverfordwest was the second most important trading centre in Wales.
The house will officially open to the public on 2 July at 2pm, with re-enactors welcoming guests with a traditionally cooked meal from the hearth.
"The mysterious medieval building near the quayside at Haverfordwest was dismantled 30 years ago by a team of young apprentices and those same men have reconstructed the house here at St Fagans," says Gerallt Nash, Senior Curator at the site.
"Visitors can learn more about the historical context of this wonderful building and see how the Tudors managed to navigate the oceans and bring new goods and ideas into Wales from Europe and beyond."

History meets technical performance It was 1975 when the Tour de France peloton first thundered down the Champs-Élysées on it's final stage, with Frenchman Bernard Thevenet the first cyclist to win the Yellow jeresy on one of the World's most iconic avenues. This jeresy is a celebration of 40 years of Tour finishes in Paris combined with touches of the winner's jersey of 1975. The Tour de France Premium Authentic Yellow Jersey is thus the perfect jersey for fans of the big race, matching exactly the jersey as awarded to the leader of the Tour. Highest performance features The Yellow jersey has to perform to the highest levels for the Tour leader giving them the performance required for this gruelling race, from flat fast stages to the toughest of mountain top finishes. Structured with close-fit panels for a close aerodynamic fit, its design is enhanced by flat, non-irritating seams to prevent chafing. Using polyester for the front and back, the jersey guarantees moisture wicking for extra breathability and lightweight feel. An adhesive band of silicon is applied to the bottom of the jersey front to ensure it stays in place whilst cycling and to prevent any air infiltration. The back is made of moisture-wicking mesh for improved breathability, and there is a 3D mesh piece on the top of the back to optimise heat evacuation. The jersey's ergonomic structure is completed with silicone strips to keep it in place when racing and prevent air penetration, and flat seams to prevent chafing.

Secretary General Administration, Manisha Pawar informed, under the act, all the government departments will be bound to provide citizen centric services within stipulated time period, as a matter of right. Also, the Act fixes the accountability of the concerned government officers in case of delay. The Act provides for punishment of the government employees as well. Officers and employees found guilty will have to pay penalty and can face stern legal action as well. Also, first Appellate and second Appellate officers will be appointed for different services like revenue, health and family welfare, transport, potable water, social development, urban development and other sectors.

Shortbread is a delicious combination of 3 powerhouse ingredients: sugar, butter, and flour. The biscuit recipe originated in Scotland and holds much cultural significance, including the tradition of breaking a decorated shortbread over a bride's head as she enters her new home. Fortunately shortbread crumbles quite easily so she doesn't get totally clobbered.

There is no doubt that there are many amazing people who have had a huge influence on our world since the beginning of time. But, no person has had more impact on history than Jesus Christ. It is undeniable that He lived and walked in the land of Judea and Israel around 2000 years ago. So, who is He?
- He is the visible image of the invisible God. He is God in a person. You want to know what God is like? Look to Jesus. The fullness of God dwells in Him.
- All authority has been given to Him in heaven and on earth.
- He is also the Creator of all creation.
- He holds all creation together. It is His masterpiece. Creation reveals the greatness of God.
- He is the Savior who saves us from our sins. He came to reconcile us with God.
- He is the head of the church. He is to the church what the head is to the body.
- Once you know who He is, you have a choice–a decision to make. It's the biggest one ever…to trust Him as your Savior and Lord, or to reject Him.
Who is Jesus? The Bible is clear, but the important thing for you is, do you believe it?

Buff, Smith and Hensman
This August 2009 relies largely or entirely upon a single source. (August 2009) |
Buff, Straub and Hensman is an architectural firm. The office has won more than 30 awards for house designs from the American Institute of Architects. The firm was known as Buff and Hensmen when Cal Straub moved to Arizona and later Buff, Smith and Hensman when Dennis Smith bought the practice after Don Hensman's retirement.[1]
The partnership, originally Buff, Straub, and Hensman, consisted of Conrad Buff III, Calvin Straub, and Donald (Don) Hensman, all of whom were American Institute of Architects (AIA) licensed architects. l
Conrad Buff III FAIA (August 5, 1926 - 1989) was born in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, California, to the creators of children's books Mary and Conrad Buff. His father Conrad Buff II was also a painter of the American southwest. Family acquaintances included Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler and opera singer Lawrence Tibbett; redesigning the Buff II garage was one of Neutra's first architectural commissions. Buff III attended local Eagle Rocks school. He graduated from U.S.C. School of Architecture in 1952. For ten years Buff was a faculty member of USC contributing design curriculum. Conrad served in the Navy in World War II at a base in Maryland, which was where he met his wife Elizabeth (Libby), a skipper's yeoman in the WAVES; film editor Conrad Buff IV is their son. After the War, Conrad decided to enroll at USC School of Architecture, where he met Donald Hensman, who had also returned from the War.
Donald C. Hensman FAIA (1924, Omaha, Nebraska - 2002) grew up in Hollywood, California. He served in the navy during World War II, as a parachute rigger in the South Pacific, and entered the USC architecture program by way of the GI Bill. It was at USC that Hensman met Conrad Buff. But prior to their collaboration with Straub, Buff and Hensman were designers of tract homes for a number of regional developers. He returned to teach architecture at his alma mater, USC from 1952 to 1963. He was eventually made assistant professor within USC's design curriculum and was chairman of the joint USC/American Institute of Architects education committee. Hensman remained active in the Pasadena architectural community until his death in 2002.
Calvin C. Straub FAIA (1920–1998) was born in Macon, Georgia. He studied at Texas A&M University and Pasadena City College before receiving his degree in architecture at the University of Southern California in 1945. After serving in the Navy, Straub lectured at USC from 1946 to 1961. Moving to Scottsdale, AZ in 1961 and joining the faculty at the College of Architecture at Arizona State University. Few architects and educators have had such a pervasive influence on architecture as Calvin C Straub.. He created an important body of work as the senior partner of Buff Straub and Hensmen, both previous students at USC. His work was widely published in Sunset Magazine and considered highly influential in shaping the vision iconography of the post-world war II contemporary southern Californian style. His and the firms work bridged the gap between the influences of early arts and crafts architects and the early California modernists, creating a uniquely regional architectural form. For this work and his educational contributions he was described in "Toward a simpler way of Life" as "the father of California post and beam architecture". His desert residence continued and extended the legacy of "design with climate" that he had begun decades again in southern California and preceded the now popular "green movement" in architecture by some 30 years. Until 1988 he held a professorship of design at Arizona State University in Tempe where his "world architecture" class attended by more than 15,000 general university students who were influenced by his contagious,jovial and animated love affair with the art of environmental design. He worked for the firm of A.B. Gallion before entering into a partnership with Conrad Buff and Donald Hensman (1956–61), and was a member of Schoneburger, Straub, Florence & Associates (1972–75). Straub also ran his own private practice in Arizona. He Received over 30 Honors and AIA awards. Apart from his work as an architect and lecturer, he also published Design Process and Communications (1978) and The Man-Made Environment: An Introduction to World Architecture and Design (1983). He retired in 1988 and died in 1998. His archives, drawings, project records, awards and project photographs many by famed Architectural photographer Julius Shulman are archived at the Arizona State University School of architecture library and archive.
In 1948, while both attending the University of Southern California (USC) School of Architecture and working together designing tract and model homes (but prior to beginning their practice), Buff and Hensman were asked by the Dean of the School of Architecture to take over the teaching duties left by the death of a senior professor. This meant that both Buff and Hensman were at the same time working professionals, students and teachers, all before being licensed or graduating. Both continued to teach and be associated with USC for many years.
In 1961 Calvin Straub left the practice to teach architecture at Arizona State University. Buff and Hensman continued their partnership as Buff, Hensman and Associates. Conrad Buff died in 1989 and Dennis Smith joined the partnership the same year to form Buff, Smith and Hensman, from which Hensman retired in 1998. Smith carries on in the practice, located in Pasadena.
The Buff, Straub, and Hensman firm's masterwork was Case Study House #20, the Saul Bass House (Altadena, 1958). It was built of factory-produced stressed skin panels and plywood vaults. Despite thorough engineering calculations, the architects were not awarded a building permit until a sample plywood vault had been temporarily erected and loaded with weights. Its open plan introduced the concept of zoning: the owner's zone with studio office, garden, master bedroom & bath; a formal zone with living and dining rooms and entry atrium; a family zone with kitchen, family room, dining terrace, two additional bedrooms and swimming pool.
Architect Calvin Straub's own post-and-beam home in Pasadena was another project that brought the practice commissions.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – After months of speculation, New York City's top cop has publicly stated his intentions when it comes to running for mayor, WCBS 880's John Metaxas reported.
WCBS 880's John Metaxas On The Story
"Certainly flattering to be spoken about, but I have no plans to run for elected office," Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters on Wednesday.
Earlier this week, there were reports that Kelly would be open to running for mayor.
But Democratic political consultant Hank Sheinkopf told WCBS 880's Rich Lamb that while Kelly would be a formidable candidate for mayor if he were to run, history shows GOP candidates only win when there's a crisis.
"Kelly has always said that being mayor or running for mayor wasn't in his DNA. Ray Kelly is a cop. Does he really want to subject himself to the slings and arrows?" Baruch College professor Doug Muzio told Lamb.
When it came to whether he would be open to staying on as the city's top cop under the next mayor, Kelly left himself some wiggle room.
"I just don't want to get into that issue," Kelly said.
Kelly has been police commissioner for a decade, since Mayor Michael Bloomberg took office in 2002 and has been the face of security in the city in the post-9/11 era.
Would you like Kelly to run for mayor, or at least stick around under the next mayor? Sound off in the comments section below.

I'd like to think that the howls of derision that greeted her first-night curtain call were an expression of genuine shock and outrage - whatever the provocation. But I suspect it was the old story: a comfortable audience uncomfortable with any new angle on old material, a knee-jerk reaction to the modern dress and brutalist designs. But we've been there before so many times. Heavens above, she even gave us the fires (or was it the back-burners?) of Hell. Given the post-Aids context, can you imagine where we might have been headed? But Deborah Warner is too good for that. Her Don Giovanni is about the people, about resistance (or otherwise) to the force of immorality. That's a drama for any time, any place.
In that, of course, she has Mozart and Da Ponte on her side. They knew better than most who had tackled the Don Juan myth not to be too specific about the details. They knew that period and social context were actually irrelevant, indeed a distraction from the central issues - above all, the Don himself. A man, a monster for all seasons. The less we know about him, the better. He's the force of degeneration. The outsider, the solitary, the predator - classist, sexist, antisocial, antichrist. And he's irresistible. That's what's frightening. Warner has him constantly on the move. When he isn't on the prowl, he's on the run - from vengeance, human and divine. He is always changing shirts (a brilliant touch). And there's never time to button them. Why bother? Leporello, his sidekick, valet (conscience?), always has a freshly laundered one at the ready. It becomes almost his sole function.
So it's a jungle out there - a concrete jungle in Hildegard Bechtler's coldly deconstructivist setting. A no man's land, a space without identity, a gallery without exhibits: descending steel walkway, polythene sheeting, sulphurous light, and a moving, tilting central platform that seems to symbolise instability. The set is as heartless and unforgiving as Don Giovanni himself. It makes you feel dirty. It's oppressive.
But that's entirely in keeping with the show as a whole. Perhaps the most controversial aspect of Warner's production is its pace: languorous, heavy with the smell and lure of sex. The insinuations, the pregnant pauses, the slow- burning recitatives - they are all a part of it. It begins with Leporello's scene with the distraught Donna Elvira. The humour of the 'catalogue aria' should stick in your throat as Leporello, in the most sensuous music imaginable, goes on to give Elvira chapter and verse as to his master's predilections. With Sanford Sylvan's mellifluous singing and Simon Rattle's free rein on the music, its beauty was suddenly appalling. Elvira's distress - so real - made it all the more sadistic. Likewise, Don Giovanni's ravishing 'La ci darem la mano' with which he serenades Zerlina whilst fondling her wedding dress. She puts it on: he even arranges the veil for her. She is hypnotised. Sex acts like a drug in this production. The Don is both user and pusher. And violence is always only a step away. The sexiest aria in the piece, Zerlina's 'Batti, batti, o bel Masetto' (persuasively sung by Juliane Banse), is a plea for chastisement.
But there is a high price to pay for Warner's slow-burn approach. The reckless dash of the narrative - the elements of black farce. Mozart and Da Ponte performed the most miraculous juggling act with the comedy and tragedy. In her search for truth on the dark side (every recitative is played to the hilt - drama, not just information), Warner has denied us that heady brew of speed and cynicism. It's the Don's longest day in more ways than one. At least it feels that way. Rattle's conducting certainly doesn't lack pace. Period instruments or not, he never allows style to inhibit the expressive reach of the music. His marvellous Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment is alive with intrigue and insight - playful, introspective, defiant. The opera's characters are fleshed out here, their emotional responses endorsed and finessed in a capricious and poetic alliance between instrumental and vocal lines.
And whatever one's feelings about the evening, Rattle and Warner have themselves a cast - not a collection of principals. I've mentioned Sanford Sylvan's beautifully sung Leporello. John Mark Ainsley's Don Ottavio should share the vocal honours with him. His 'Dalla sua pace' displayed a sensitivity way beyond the sound - which was, as ever, lovely. Hillevi Martinpelto's Donna Anna and Amanda Roocroft's Elvira were, vocally speaking, almost too well matched, but more than equal to the temperamental configurations of their impassioned music. In a rare but choice moment of visual comedy, Roocroft gave vent to the scorn of her first aria whilst fixing her hair. Gilles Cachemaille's Don was more wholehearted than charismatic, either vocally or dramatically. An ordinary bloke, your average oik. But somehow that made him all the more frightening.
An evening of contradictions and unfulfilled promises, then. I like Warner's plain-speaking, her lack of dramatic clutter. But she hasn't pulled this one off. The feeling is that she started something she couldn't finish. But the wicked spectacle of Don Giovanni hauling around his other dinner guest, a plaster cast of the Holy Mother (in a neat twist, the real 'stone guest', the Commendatore, is always very much flesh and blood), the mock feeding of the bread and wine, and that final unspeakable act - these are things that Glyndebourne audiences might take some time to forget.
'Don Giovanni' is in rep to 24 Aug at Glyndebourne Opera House, near Lewes, East Sussex (Booking: 0273 813813) and, in a semi-staged concert performance, at the Proms on 29 Aug (071-589 8212)

If you ask me, I'm baffled by all the people who now say The X Factor is too nasty whereas I find this aspect of the show rather weak and would be keen to see it stepped up.
For example, after a 22-year-old's dreams have been exploited and trampled over and crushed into the ground, and after they've had their cry and a fake hug from Dermot – he is a first-rate fake hugger; I would even put him up there with Davina McCall – why not then put the dogs on them? Or chase them with sticks? Or flick them with wet towels and if they happen to have, say, a bed-wetting history, why not go into that in some detail?
If, somehow, we could be talked through the bed-wetting history while the dogs were being put on them, that would be terrific. I would pay good money to see that. I would even forgo the sticks and the towel-flicks, at least for the afternoon and partly through the evening, although I would be getting itchy at around 10pm. A day in which someone hasn't been roundly humiliated is a day wasted, in my opinion.
But as it stands? As it stands, it is poor. The self-deluded, the mentally ill, the 25-stoner, the freaky novelty act who has no idea he or she is a freaky novelty act ... they are let off the hook far too lightly. And as for The Tragic Back-Story Boy, the one who was brought up in foster care because his mother is bipolar and who made Kelly cry when she wasn't otherwise occupied with flirting with him and calling him a "star", yes, he wept mightily when he was dumped, as if his very life were over, but that's it? That's the best they can do?
Personally, I'd have also shown him falling over while running for a bus and missing it, or, at the very least, having his debit card refused in a shop full of customers. Sometimes, I don't think Cowell has the faintest idea how to build people up before knocking them down; not a clue.
Anyway, TV must continually re-invent itself to stay in the game, and I even have an idea to take this genre one step on: I'm going to build an amphitheatre and put a lion in it as well as a Christian. Genius, and I don't know why no one has ever thought of it before. Furthermore, I'm going to own the format and own the winning lion and write the winning lion's first single and then drop the lion when no one is interested any more and that, my loves, is what 21st-century Saturday night TV is all about. Enjoy!

Surreal Estate Rape Cop Might Not Be A Cop At All
Friday's 3D 13 Dimensional Dance Party at the Bushwick collective Surreal Estate became infamous yesterday, as video circulated of what appeared to be a plainclothes police officer threatening a civilian with imprisonment and rape. ("You're gonna go to jail, and you're gonna get abused in jail. The guys in jail are gonna rape you," the alleged officer says to the cameraman, Vladimir Teichberg.) Needless to say, outrage swiftly followed, at Gothamist, Gawker, and here, among other places. Now, however, the NYPD have responded, saying that the tie-dyed psychopath who appears on Teichberg's tape is not a police officer at all. Said a department spokesperson to us just now: "He's not a cop. That guy with the iPhone and tie-dye? Not a cop." The spokesperson, Detective Cheryl Crispin, went on to tell us that "he was a drunken guy who ended up getting a summons," shortly after getting kicked out of a club and stumbling over to Surreal Estate, where he began threatening Teichberg. Crispin was adamant: "The individual in the video who is making the statements that you are referring to is not an NYPD officer," she said.
So we called Teichberg for clarification. "We'll see," he told us. "Anything's possible." But Teichberg continues to believe the man was a police officer, claiming that another, uniformed officer had introduced him as such, and that "the fact that he was threatening to arrest me and saying he was a police officer in front of other police officers" is proof that the guy was in fact a cop.

"At the end of the video there is footage of him with another officer flirting with girls," Teichberg alleges, and indeed, you can hear someone say "he's one of our undercover officers" at around the 6:48 mark. That may or may not be a joke though, and immediately afterwards, the so-called undercover can be seen folding up what looks a lot like a summons and placing it in his own back pocket. That seems likely to be the same summons the NYPD are now saying they gave the man that night.
Even if the guy was not a cop, Teichberg says he remains incensed: "When he was threatening me, he was doing it right in front of another officer," he told us. "So they're basically saying that they just stood there while a drunk guy threatened me, and did nothing?"

One lucky puppy in Maine is home safe after surviving weeks in the woods following a terrifying car crash.
Tucker, a 7-month-old lab, was thrown from a car earlier this month when his owner, 20-year-old Shanya Pottle, was seriously hurt in a crash, according to the Morning Sentinel. He survived more than three weeks in the woods of East Madison.
Volunteers from Maine Lost Dog Recovery set a live trap for Tucker.
He was rescued Friday. Officials say he was on the verge of starvation.
Officials tell the Morning Sentinel criminal charges are unlikely in the case.

Martin on right track for another Daytona pole
February 12, 2011, Sporting News Wire Service, NASCAR.com
Mark Martin hopes to recapture the magic that propelled him to a second-place Cup Series points finish in 2009. Clearly, he's on the right track. Martin, who won the pole for the Daytona 500 last year, led both Cup practice sessions Saturday at Daytona International Speedway in sessions limited to single-car runs, as drivers prepared for Sunday's time trials at the 2.5-mile superspeedway. Qualifying is scheduled to begin at 1:05 p.m. ET. With a top speed of 185.311 mph in the second session, Martin was the only driver to exceed 185 mph in either practice. Apparently, a change in crew chiefs from Alan Gustafson to Lance McGrew hasn't slowed the 52-year-old driver. "Magic is sort of intangible," Martin said. "It's not something you can reach out and touch. We had magic going on in 2009, and we had magic going on in 1998 [when Martin finished second in points to Jeff Gordon], and I am aware of it. "I'm working hard to try to create it and maintain it through 2011 with Lance and my team." Recapturing the magic, however, doesn't mean contemplating back-to-back poles for the 500. That's not in Martin's chemistry. "I'm not even thinking about that," Martin said. "I can't think about it. You never know at this place with the wind and the sunshine ... you just don't know. We go out early [sixth], and I'm not going to think about the pole and worry about getting it until there's only about three or four cars left." Jamie McMurray, last year's Daytona 500 winner, cut a tire as he sped into Turn 1 with about 10 minutes left in the first practice session and scraped the wall with his No. 1 Chevrolet. McMurray had just started to run a high line when the accident occurred. "It looked like we ran over something on the race track, and that's what cut the tire down," McMurray said. "Fortunately, though, you're on your first lap so high that we were right against the wall, and it did minimal damage to the car. "But they still have to take it home and put a new side on it and get it fixed up. It's not tore up near as bad as it could be." Nevertheless, McMurray's team unloaded a backup car, which he'll race in the Daytona 500. The backup is the same car McMurray raced to a second-place finish behind Kevin Harvick at Talladega last April. NASCAR made a competition change Saturday morning that should limit the number of consecutive laps Cup cars can run in two-car hookups before swapping positions, NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said. "We told them to remove an auxiliary air hose, which provides more cool air to the engines," Tharp said. With Joey Logano topping the speed chart at 203.087 mph in Friday night's practice for the Shootout, NASCAR opted for the change. The result will be the car that is pushing in a two-car draft will tend to overheat more quickly, forcing the cars to break apart and swap positions sooner than they have been in practice. Dale Earnhardt Jr. said Friday night that two cars could run together for three to five laps before having to separate and swap positions. The removal of the auxiliary hose will reduce that number. Qualifying for the Daytona 500 is unique, with only the top two drivers locked into their starting positions. The time trials, however, help set the starting order for Thursday's Gatorade Duel 150 qualifying races, which will fill out the starting grid. Denny Hamlin must start from the rear in his Duel after blowing and changing an engine during Saturday's practice. Should Hamlin win a front-row spot during Sunday's time trials, he would still start from the front row in the 500. Drivers drew lots for Sunday's qualifying order. Brad Keselowski will go out first, with McMurray 14th. Starting with the Feb. 27 race at Phoenix, NASCAR will set qualifying order based on practice speeds (the average of the top speeds in prequalifying sessions).Daytona 500

http://autoshow.msn.com/as/autoshow2004/video.aspx?***=streaming&src=autoshow2004 There is also some video of the 2005 GT, no Stang yet though. I'm not so sure the vette looks that great to me, but i don't know
getting error... "Sorry, the page you're trying to reach is temporarily unavailable or the page may no longer exist"
Try this and let me know if it works http://autoshow.msn.com/as/autoshow2004/default.aspx?src=autoshow2004
What's up with the audio in the vette video? Every time it comes close to the camera shot, all you hear is this funky wind/tire noise and you only get a hint of what the exhaust note sounds like. The Ford GT video is much better in terms of the audio. Go to the main link and wait for the vette picture to show. Then click on that image and it takes you to a link for the video. http://autoshow.msn.com/as/autoshow2004/
I was wondering the same thing to, and why did they have to put crappy elevator music covering up the exhuast???
lol, *yawning* the vette is a total bore. which fits the elavator music just perfect. I'm ready for the mustang videos!!!

that exact look? or a toned down version? the eyebrows could be achieved w/ a seroius application w/ an eyebrow pencil filled in w/ eyeshadow? btw i don't usually wear a lot of makeup so i dont know all the different kinds...it looks like liquid liner was used on the eyes. the mouth would be taupe lipstick, and foundation for an even all over base w/ some bronzer dusted on top so it doesn't look too ashy?

Welp, this final season of HBO's "True Blood" is for the dogs. Actually, I wouldn't even feed it to my dog…
"True Blood" was one of my favorite new shows, at least until they stopped making it for me and attempted to gain the female demographic. Even my wife admits that she started to peak at the screen a bit more when the shirts started flying off…
Anyways, the show is for females only, and I hate that (only because it originally wasn't). The latest casting is hilarious, too, proving they've learned nothing. Thankfully, the show dies before 2015.
"90210's" Riley Smith has the honor of playing Keith, a sexy, rock 'n' roll vampire with a romantic side. Sigh. He's drummer in James' (Nathan Parson) band, and becomes smitten with Arlene (Carrie Preston) on first sight.
Nothing says hardcore vampire horror like a "smitten" rock 'n' roller. VOMIT.
Clarifying before everyone jumps down my throat… I don't care if a show is solely for the female demo. What annoys me is that they baited males into "True Blood" and then changed the formula in hopes of catching the Twilight fans.
The True Blood TV Show is based on "The Southern Vampire Mysteries" Which is a series of SUPERNATURAL ROMANCE novels. So I don't know what you thought you were being 'baited into' but this show has always been 'aimed at women' since it came from a book series AIMED AT WOMEN.
lol that's what I was thinking. True Blood has always focused on romance.
I agree.
Lost me during the second season and never really won me back.
i agree that this show peaked fast in season two and held steady with the introduction of Russel Edgington in season three …season 4 didnt live up to the first three seasons and then the ship started sinking fast….i stopped paying attention with the "good" Eric with amnesia and Sookie lovefest…Its really unbearable too watch now…
Obviously you're not being paid to promote this season of- True Blood.
1) who gives a shit about the eye candy on the show?? Who watches a show soley for the pretty people?? Is that how you review shows/movies?
2) why can't the show have pretty girls AND pretty guys? Why are shows only "for guys" or only "for girls"?
3) the show has 100 x more female nudity, especially full frontal, than male, so you're just demented to think the show is suddenly for women (and thanks for all the gay men out there for thinking that attractive men only have appeal to women).
4) Looking back, there is absolutely no indication that the first season (or even two) has significant female eye candy (no more than any other season) so not sure what show you are watching in your demented mind
5) maybe you should watch the show again and not be so concerned (offended!) that other people in the audience are also being addressed.
6) the whole "I can't watch a show if it's got attractive men" smacks of serious unresolved gay issues (note: you don't even have to be gay, or bi-, to have unresolved gay issues), and/or serious immaturity
7) you need help
Absolutely. Sookies tits were practically characters of their own for a few seasons there.
@macguffin54, excellent post!!
You know you're not supposed to go full retard right? The show is fucking terrible. He's not talking about solely the nudity/eye candy. This show HAS been directed towards the female demographic for the past few years now. What is wrong with someone saying that? The show isn't bad because of the ratio of "pretty girls" to "pretty guys". It's bad and geared towards women because of the garbage romantic storylines they're using to prey on the proposed gullibility of some women(the same goddamn thing that Twilight did), and then you have the male characters doing their best pensive raspy voiced Twilight impressions that should only appeal to overweight 17 year old goth chicks. Ask yourself this: If this show isn't geared towards women why is it that every season has a brand new flock of attractive/topless males for the same three female characters to fawn over?
It's an insensitive article which is massively flawed in that it dismisses a prevalent male fan-base who enjoy it, regardless of whether they are straight or not. It's also pretty sexist. Oh, and it's pretty offensive to call someone a "retard" for expressing their objections. Educate yourself before saying something so offensive in a public forum.
@drmodem, very well said. i agree.
It was unbelievably obvious that this show was twilight-fuelled crap with a higher rating to allow for blood and tits from the very first episode.
Wow, just when I thought this asshat couldn't get anymore ignorant. First his incessant and inane babbling on how much he despises The Walking Dead and now this.
True Blood has a gratuitous amount of female nudity every episode. This is a show geared equally to both genders and you're a complete moron for failing to see that. Even if it were solely geared to a targeted female demographic, does that in and of itself take away from the show?
Personally, I don't think the problem with True Blood is that they're blatantly pandering to a female audience. I think it's just that when a once awesome show has been on for several seasons, the writers just run out of good ideas of what to do with the characters. Just like what happened on Dexter, and Weeds, and several other cable shows that started out as something great, but slowly fizzled out over the years. At least Breaking Bad knew when to wrap things up, rather then coming up with increasingly ridiculous situation for Walter to get out of, just to keep milking the ratings.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the book series this is based on have a primarily female readership? It's always featured a female main character and dealt with romantic love triangles. Nothing has changed other than some viewers realizing there are more angles to the show than what's found in their stereotypically male centered genres. Isn't sexism fun?
I think it goes for as many demographics as possible, I'm a straight dude and I'm still plenty entertained. Some scenes are obviously not geared toward me but most of the show is pretty bloody and the last couple seasons seemed to have a lot more action so I think it's not correct to say it's just for females
The majority of film and television objectify women constantly, I think its refreshing that this show is objectifying men. If women can watch things that objectify their gender and not constantly complain don't you think you can do the same?
First day of all, HBO is know for gratuitous female nudity (G.O.T, anyone?) so I have no problem if this show tries to even that out a little bit for the ladies and gay gents. What I do have a problem with is shitty writing and storytelling. Somewhere along the way they turned this show into a second rate soap-opera. At first I kinda excused it, thinking that it was playing the satire card but it just kept getting worse and worse. With that being said, I still watch even if I shake my head once the credits role.
So you think they feminized True Blood? Someone have a gun to your head? Quit your bitching and quit watching if that chaps your ass. I don't give a crap about your opinion. Nothing wrong if finally giving females some fantasy time. I enjoy the young male bods. It's about time for it after women have shown their T's and A's for so long

Rand Paul Ponders NSA Class-Action Lawsuit Options
Please consider Rand Paul Plots NSA Class-Action Lawsuit Options
After months of consideration, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is moving closer to filing a lawsuit in federal court against National Security Agency surveillance programs.Rand Paul 2016
A senior Paul staffer says U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon's Monday decision that NSA opponents have standing to sue over the bulk collection of phone records makes Paul "much more likely" to file his own lawsuit.
The senior staffer, who spoke with U.S. News on background, says hundreds of thousands of people volunteered online as possible plaintiffs after Paul first floated the idea of a class-action lawsuit in June.
The senator has not firmly decided to file suit and it's still possible Paul will choose to instead assist with three already-filed lawsuits against the NSA.
If Paul does file a lawsuit it would be the fourth major legal attack against the NSA's bulk collection and five-year storage of American phone records.
Lawsuits against the phone-record collection are already filed in federal court by the American Civil Liberties Union in New York, by conservative legal activist Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch in Washington, D.C., and by the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco.
Klayman won a major victory against the NSA on Monday, with Leon ruling the phone record program is likely a violation of the Fourth Amendment. Leon granted a preliminary injunction barring the collection, but stayed implementation pending appeal.
Unlike the possible Paul lawsuit, Klayman only sought a handful of original plaintiffs. He is seeking for the "class" he represents to be defined by Leon to include all Americans affected by the program, which purportedly helps scuttle terrorist plots - an accomplishment Leon disputed.
The senior Paul staffer stressed that Paul is currently evaluating strategy options. If a lawsuit is filed, it would likely be in either D.C. or Kentucky. It's unclear which Paul-affiliated entity would file the challenge.
I salute Rand Paul for his efforts. And as noted on numerous occasions, I also salute U.S. hero Edward Snowden who revealed the unconstitutional data collection efforts.
Finally, I wish Rand Paul well, hoping he wins the Republican nomination, then replaces president Obama as the next president of the United States.

Wow. I know. This could be really good. Really good. Now listen up.
Photo via SadAndUseless.com
We here at Dipped in Cream do, of course, read other celebrity gossip blogs. That shouldn't come as a surprise. All bloggers do it, and we own our lust for gossip.
So. Two very reliable blogs have posted some interesting/juicy Blind Items regarding Hayden Panetierre, her parents' alleged (?) abhorrent behavior/sexual deviancy, and the speculation that Robert Downey, Jr. may be providing these very detailed pieces of information.
The awesome blog, Crazy Days and Nights posted a Blind Item not too long ago wherein most commenters assumed Hayden Panetierre was the person in question. (You all know CDaN–I like to post a link every six months to "Enty's" site when he divulges the answers to the Blind Items! (It's my pleasure to share all of the reveals with you by sending you over there every New Year's Day and July 4th…it's so juicy!)
Still with us? Good. Here is the initial Blind Item in question via CDaN.
"This former B list television actress who was on a really big hit network show just a couple of years ago now just seems to float mindlessly and flit between boyfriends. She comes from a broken home and abusive home. Her dad used to beat her and get into bed with her. Her mom just let it happen because she was being beaten herself and did not want to provoke.
Well, now the actress who is still very young only seems to date boyfriends who are abusive and willing to hit her. Her last boyfriend (former A list athlete with B list name recognition) was so scared that he would kill her he broke up with her. Her new celebrity boyfriend does not punch nearly as hard but seems to love it. Probably getting out his anger because he is closeted."
Then, all of a sudden, a person named "Himmm" commented on that particular post with some very lengthy and detailed information–that really, only an insider would be privy to knowing. Here's an excerpt and the link to Bomomoth.com, who provided everything in one place for ease of reading:
Okay folks, here goes. Excuse the spelling as I'm on an iphone w/o spellcheck. First, sorry for unleashing all of this. Second, I am NOT judging this young lady – just saying that help is there for all of us if we accept it and want to help ourselves.
And third, if this BLIND ITEM hits and spreads through the web far, wide, and rapidly, I may have to remove this comment. It can cause problems I cannot explain right now. (Don't want trouble for "Enty", so don't be shocked if the whole item and/or my comment gets erased to avoid trouble).
So here goes: Yes, this IS Hayden.
100% totally. I know this for a FACT. The wording of this item is NOT 100% correct – which may be intentional to deny it legally, but it is close. But there's far more to this than is being mentioned, revealed, or even hinted at. For all you GoogleSleuths out there just look up the past news stories about her Dad getting arrested on "domestic" issues – then her mom dropping it. It's not just about a fight, smack, or basic domestic issues. It's about sexual perversions, videotapes, witnesses, and the loss of MONEY and FAME."
Blink. Blink. I know, right? Oh, it gets worse.
Believe us. You DO want to read the rest of this post by "Himmm". Your eyes will pop out, your jaw will drop. Details, huge celebrity names, everything.
We'd love to know what your thoughts are about this…do you think,"Himmm" is RDJ after reading the entire piece? Come back and let us know.
Oh, one more thing? I'm just tellin' ya what I heard.

To work for the proper implementation of canon law is to play an extraordinarily constructive role in continuing the redemptive mission of Christ. Pope John Paul II |
Resolution 1152 x 864 |
Updated 6 jan 2013 |
An Introduction to Gilbert Keith Chesterton |
Edward Peters, "An Introduction to Gilbert Keith Chesterton", Catholic Faith (Nov-Dec 1996) 31-32. |
[Here] is the real objection to that torrent of modern talk about treating crime as disease...The fallacy of the whole thing is that evil is a matter of a active choice whereas disease is not... A man may lie still and be cured of a malady. But he must not lie still if he wants to be cured of a sin; on the contrary, he must get up and jump about violently. The whole point indeed is perfectly expressed in the very word we use for a man in hospital; "patient" is in the passive mood; "sinner" is in the active. If a man is to be saved from influenza, he must be patient. But if he is to be saved from forging, he must not be a patient, but an impatient. He must be personally impatient with forgery. All moral reform must start in the active not the passive will. G.K.C, Orthodoxy I posted this quote on my locker in Law School, the semester we took basic criminal law. It occasioned some good exchanges. enp |
Chesterton is often called the most
quoted man in English; he was certainly one of the most prolific. Beyond
his vast literary output, his exhaustive public speaking and debating
work did much to advance the cause of common sense in general, and of
Christian spiritual wisdom in particular. Indeed, Chesterton's
conversion to the Catholic Church in 1922 was (second only to the
disruption of the First Vatican Council during the Italian Revolution)
the most talked-about religious event in Europe since the conversion of
fellow Englishman John Henry Newman some 75 years earlier.
Upon his death, Chesterton was named by
Pope Pius XI a "Defender of the Catholic Faith" thereby redeeming
somewhat a similar title bestowed on but squandered by another
Englishman 400 years earlier. His devoted wife of 35 years, Frances
Blogg, who helped bring the younger Chesterton out of a confused
mishmash of world-views into a more critical Christianity, eventually
followed her husband into the Church and died just two years after him.
Fr. John Hardon has said that "the best
word to describe Chesterton's writings is brilliant" and no serious
Catholic American leader today is unfamiliar with his works. Because
Chesterton's writings fill such a wide scope of topics and styles, one
can begin studying him almost anywhere. But the following suggestions
might help to get one started.
Almost all of Chesterton's poetry
rhymes. Moreover, for all its beauty and brilliance, it makes immediate
sense to the average reader. It easily lends itself to either silent
study or oral recitation. Although much of Chesterton's poetry is
humorous (e.g., satires on British politics) some of it is bardic and
historical and, because Chesterton always saw the finger of God in
history, it is deeply inspirational without becoming pietistic. By any measure Chesterton's epic "Ballad of the White Horse" is his poetic masterpiece. Its narration of the fierce struggle between the Christian princes of England and the pagan Nordic chiefs was so poignant that the British press freely and frequently quoted from it during the Second World War when England stood alone against neo-pagan Nazism.
A much shorter, but still wonderful,
poem in the manner of White Horse is "Lepanto", the story of the naval
battle in 1571 which saved Europe from Moslem invasion and which gave
the Church the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary (October 7). Almost all
of Chesterton's poetry is found conveniently and affordably in
The Collected Poems of G. K.
Chesterton (Dodd & Mead,
Fiction Chesterton's fiction falls into two types: short novels and even shorter short-stories. Despite their relative brevity, at least two of Chesterton's novels rank among the best fiction works produced this century. The Napoleon of Notting Hill, released in 1904, is proposed by many as the best first novel ever written by any of England's many great fiction writers. Just four years later, though, The Man Who Was Thursday proved forever Chesterton's skill for serious literature in a book that was then, and remains now, renowned for both its secular appeal and its Christian perception.
Throughout his career, Chesterton
worked on and published the short detective thrillers thanks to which,
more than any other of his writings, he is most widely known. The
"Father Brown" series are not just entertainment, for Fr. Brown's unique
ability to solve crimes is based on his priestly knowledge of human
nature and foreshadows what Pope Paul VI would say many decades later:
the Church is an expert in humanity. Complete sets are widely available
- but if you acquire the Father Brown series in parts, start with the
stories in The Innocence of
Father Brown. You will have
the main characters more clearly in mind that way. Also available is the
new series from Ignatius Press:
Father Brown and the Church of Rome,
which includes stories in
which Father Brown's Catholic Faith plays a central role in solving
Non-Fiction Even if one discounts the mass of material written by Chesterton the journalist, the non-fiction works of Chesterton as social commentator, philosopher, theologian, biographer, and literary critic are daunting. One's own tastes and interests are the best guide here, but at least two works stand out no matter what one's other reasons for reading Chesterton: St. Francis of Assisi (1923) and The Everlasting Man (1925). The first is a short biography of, second only to Our Lady, the most popular Catholic saint. Not a collection of dates and places, Chesterton's superb picture of St. Francis will forever keep the founder of the world's largest religious family from being relegated like a curio to a collection of eccentric bird lovers. The second book, a somewhat longer but still very approachable work, was originally written as a corrective to H. G. Well's biased and naive Outline of History, but Chesterton went far beyond that immediate goal and penned his own interpretation of human history, a history which Chesterton showed can make sense only if it is seen in the light of Christ.
Finally, if one is already a fan of
other authors like Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Browning, or
especially Charles Dickens, Chesterton's remarkable studies of the works
of these leading authors must be consulted. George Bernard Shaw, for
example, one of Chesterton's steadiest opponents and most devoted
admirers, once called Chesterton's book on his writings "the best piece
of literary criticism I have ever inspired.
Biographies It is not surprising that Chesterton's life has spawned so many biographies, each with their strengths and weaknesses. All of them agree, however, on their debt to the first biography of G. K. Chesterton, Maisie Ward's Gilbert Keith Chesterton (Sheed & Ward, 1944). Read this life first (even before Chesterton's own Autobiography) and then you can better select among the many others. Interest in, and appreciation for, Chesterton's work has always remained strong, but recently it seems to be spreading with renewed vigor. Ignatius Press, mentioned earlier, is well along in its project of publishing the complete works of Chesterton. Another important contributor to that growth is due to the quarterly journal, The Chesterton Review, edited by Fr. Ian Boyd, C.S.B., and published by the G. K. Chesterton Society out of St. Thomas More College in Saskatoon, Canada. Regional meetings, notably the periodic Lewis/Chesterton Conference held in Seattle, are another source of continuing study of the life and work of this great man. Many communities also have Chesterton reading and discussion groups, some of them sponsored by the Chesterton Society. |

Compared with other teams, the Chicago Blackhawks didn't make much noise in the early days after winning the Stanley Cup. There were the Dave Bolland and Michael Frolik trades during the draft, but other than the expected departures of Ray Emery and Viktor Stalberg, not much happened. Okay, maybe Nikolai Khabibulin's signing was a surprise, but that's been the only shakeup to take place.
With prospect camp over, there would normally be a bit more news coming from the front office. To no one's surprise, all general manager Stan Bowman did for the media on Friday was recap the team's offseason activities and come up with very little to report in terms of what was left to do. Nick Leddy and Marcus Kruger, whom Bowman had said were priorities, had been re-signed (Kruger's extension was announced hours after Bowman's presser). Bryan Bickell signed his four-year extension on Draft Day. Were there any loose ends to tie before next season?
The only thing left is to work on a contract extension for head coach Joel Quenneville, which Bowman said could be signed in the next few weeks. It was in the 2011-12 season that fans were calling for him to be fired, mainly due to the Blackhawks' demoralizing nine-game losing streak amidst a second terrible season. But just as this past season can be credited to the team and their performance, it can also be credited to Quenneville. Fans may have yelled at him for tinkering with lines during games, but it all worked out in the end.
Barring any surprise signings, it'll be a quiet summer for the Blackhawks. Once Quenneville's extension is inked, all fans will have to do is wait till training camp. That's when the real work will begin.
