EXCLUSIVE: The Secrets Of "Sicilian Summer" Beauty, Revealed
Beauty tips from Pat McGrath are worth their weight in gold—and we have the pleasure of gleaning plenty of them from the Dolce & Gabbana The Makeup creative adviser each season. While we make a concerted effort to get those gems into review upon review, blog post upon blog post, and innumerable features before, and long after, the famed face painter takes her final bow at Miu Miu in Paris, seeing her work her magic firsthand is a whole other story. For the visual learners out there, the above video holds a phenomenal tidbit in which McGrath tells and shows the secret to a great cat-eye. "Once you go in with a [liquid] eyeliner, you're asking for trouble," she jokes as she scrawls a brown kohl onto the back of her hand, a pre-liquid liner step that is the key to getting the "Sicilian summertime feel" that made us swoon backstage at Dolce & Gabbana's Spring show. That's a pretty substantial piece of free wisdom right there—and considering the current price of gold, it's a pretty good deal, too.

First Look at Mike Allred's Daredevil #17 Reveals Shocking Truths About Comics Industry
- Written by Jude Terror on Tuesday, July 24 2012 and posted in News with Benefits
Nepotism abounds at Marvel as both Mike and Laura Allred join Mark Waid for Daredevil #17!
Source: Press Release
Fans were extremely excited when they first learned that Eisner Award winning artist Mike Allred would be drawing an upcoming issue of Daredevil, but did they realize it would come with such a high moral price? Joining Allred on colorist duties for Daredevil #17 is Laura Allred, who the Outhouse can now exclusively reveal is actually Mike Allred's wife! Even more shocking, the Outhouse has learned that this is not the first time Laura Allred has worked with her husband. In fact, she has worked on such high-profile Mike Allred comics as iZombie, Madman, and X-Statix, and has even won multiple Eisner awards, which calls into question the credibility of the prestigious awards, San Diego Comic Con, and possibly Will Eisner himself.
The Outhouse reached out to Daredevil writer Mark Waid for comment on this shocking development, but he threatened to come to our house and beat us up, as if we had disparaged the name of Stephen Wacker. We then called Joe Quesada to tell on him, but Quesada just laughed and asked us if we were an idiot.
Yes, sir. Yes we are.
Here's the press release:
Eisner Winning Artist Mike Allred Makes His Return To Marvel in DAREDEVIL #17
"It's the issue Mike Allred was born to draw" – Marvel Senior Editor, Stephen Wacker
Prepare for non-stop action as not one, not two, but THREE, Eisner Award winning creators present your first look at Daredevil #17! Courtesy of Mark Waid and special guest artist Michael Allred & colorist Laura Allred, this pulse-pounding adventure pits the Man Without Fear against an old foe…Stilt-Man! Can Daredevil make it out of this grudge match in one piece? Find out in Daredevil #17, hitting comic shops everywhere, the Marvel Comics app, and Marvel Digital Comic Shop this August.

It the latest edition of Roundball Mining Company's 5-on-5 series we explore which potential playoff scenarios could benefit or hinder the Nuggets success in the postseason. Fellow readers T.J. McBride and Mitchell Carroll have been selected to participate this time around. If you'd like to contribute next time, be sure and follow Charlie, Jeremey and Kalen on Twitter. As always, please feel free to leave your answers to these questions in the comments section below.
On Saturday the Denver Nuggets chose to waive DeMarre Carroll, according to Benjamin Hochman of the Denver Post. With next Tuesday's deadline that demands all NBA contracts become guaranteed and Wilson Chandler still not re-signed, waiving Carroll was the simplest way to ensure a roster spot remains open for Chandler upon his return to the NBA sometime in the near future.
Though this is strictly a Denver Nuggets-themed blog, I don't think I'd be going to far as to say most of the our readers are likely going to be watching the Mavericks and Heat go at it in the 2011 NBA Finals this year. So, Roundball Mining Company has dug up an assortment of different links to help you further get acquainted with the nuances of this historic series. (more…)
Quite a few storylines unfolded on Tuesday night in Secaucus, N.J., but none were bigger than the Cavaliers winning two of the top four overall picks behind the fortuitous, and confident, 14-year-old Nick Gilbert, son of Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert and team representative for the night. (more…)

Fleeing the Nest
Tyler J. Cameron | Sep 21, 2013 | Comments 1
The Blackhawks are a few games into the pre-season schedule that will see them play 6 tilts throughout. This camp feels more intense than high school tryout. It is healthy human nature to have this high level of competition.
This appears to be more intense because there's a lot of make or break years coming up for a handful of Blackhawks hopefuls. Well, at least at the forward position. The removal of Frolik, Stalberg and Bolland was not done without a thorough evaluation. Same reason Khabibulin was brought in and their were no changes to the Stanley Cup Champion defence. The Hawks know what they have and do not have.
Players like Jeremy Morin, Jimmy Hayes, Ben Smith, Kyle Beach and Brandon Pirri have kept the Hawks GM, scouts and other evaluators intrigued and frustrated for a few years now. Whether they were acquired in a trade or drafted and homegrown, there's a certain level of patience set with these players.
It's sink or swim for the names above and unfortunately it might mean grasping on to a role that is out of their comfort zone. Look no further than the aforementioned Dave Bolland. A offensive wiz in the OHL, he changed his game to meet the Hawks needs and made the team. Whether he likes it or not, he is now typecast as a gritty, defensive specialist with some offensive upside.
So let's focus on those players. Here's what should be going through the Hawks prospects heads right now:
Jeremy Morin
"I can steal that third line winger job by showing some strong defensive play. They already know I have a great shot and offensive skills, so maybe I'll see some PP time if my overall game impresses them."
Jimmy Hayes
"I need to keep saying the right things about being a physical force like Bickell. Then back up my words by playing big in pre-season. Also, show off my new found improved speed and steal that third line winger job."
Ben Smith
"I'm on a one-way deal right now so that third line winger job is mine! If not, I can fit in as a fourth line/PK specialist role and chip in with some offense. I need to show them I'm a defensive asset, not liability."
Kyle Beach
"I'm screwed."
Brandon Pirri
"I can't let this injury deter me. If I can get into a couple pre-season games, I need to show them what I got. I have the offense to play top 6 but if I need to slide into the third/fourth line to start the year, I will!"
Let me know your thoughts. Who do you think will make it in the above, if any.
Ty's Tidbits
~ Brad Winchester skated alongside Toews in the Washington game on Friday night. I'm sure for policing purposes, but he skated real well and even chipped in with a goal. I would not be the least but surprised if he and Bollig platoon as Coach Q's muscle cats this season.
~ Joakim Nordstrom is awfully close to catapulting himself over the Hawks youngsters highlighted above. The Swedish PK duo of Nordstrom and Kruger could prove to be too enticing for Coach Q and Co. to send him back to Rockford. Smith, Morin or Hayes better emerge as an option here soon or they could be riding the bus again.
~ Antti Raanta is not Antti Niemi. However, it appears they both of Finnish nerves of steal. Raanta did not seemed fazed at all facing the likes of Ovechkin, Backstrom, etc. Not a bad outing for his first in North America.
Ty Cam out!

Kyle Beach is screwed! After that cheap little play on Tom Wilson, I think he solidified his bus ticket back to Rockford.

I'm sure I once had a copy of The Economy of Cities by Jane Jacobs, but when my son asked to borrow it, I couldn't find it. So I ordered a 2nd hand one from Abe and it just arrived – can't do without one on the bookshelf. (No doubt the other copy will turn up soon….)
There's a great quote from Herodotus to start with:
"I will tell the story as I go along of small cities no less than of great. Most of those which were great once are small today; and those which in my own lifetime have grown to greatness, were small enough in the old days."

by Pauli Halstead – In our long evolutionary history as humans, our diet has always included a significant amount of animal fats. Fats from animals that ate wild grasses were especially high in vitamins and minerals, Omega-3 fatty acids and L-Tryptophan, an essential amino acid necessary in the production of serotonin. Our large human brains developed on protein and at least 50% or more of dietary fat. These essential fats are what deliver protein and the other nutrients to our cells.
Cholesterol is a life sustaining substance and we need it for our physical and mental health. Despite the body's ability to manufacture its own cholesterol it is very critical to supplement cholesterol in the diet. Historically the human diet has always contained a significant amount of cholesterol. Restricting or eliminating its intake indicates a crisis or famine to the body. The result is the production of a liver enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase that, in effect, overproduces cholesterol from carbohydrates in the diet. Consuming carbohydrates in the diet, while decreasing cholesterol intake, guarantees a steady overproduction of cholesterol in the body. The only way to switch this overproduction off is to consume an adequate amount of dietary cholesterol and cut down on the carbs.
There are now decades of epidemiological studies that show no correlation between saturated fat consumption, high cholesterol levels, and heart disease. France, as we know, has one of the highest levels of dietary fat consumption in the form of butter, cheese and animal fats, but the French have significantly lower coronary heart disease than we Americans. The Masai are known to be one of the healthiest peoples on earth and their diet is exclusively meat, milk and blood. Their cholesterol levels are some of the lowest known and they have no heart disease. George Mann, the researcher who studied the Masai declared The Lipid Hypothesis "the public health diversion of this century…the greatest scam in the history of medicine".
Studies of modern day indigenous tribes have yielded similar findings despite traditional diets which included up to 400 grams of animal fat per day. Unlike most Americans, these indigenous groups, provided they are on their traditional diet, have no rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, cancer, chronic and degenerative diseases or high blood pressure. Coconut oil, which is more highly saturated than butter and other animal fats, is the staple food of many Pacific Island groups and cardiovascular disease and other degenerative diseases are absent in these populations even though 35-55% of their diet consists of the coconut oil. Japanese people are now the longest living people on earth and those studied who ate the most eggs, dairy products and fish, had a 28% lower risk of stroke than those that ate the least.
The important thing to remember is that fats from "exclusively" grass-fed and pastured animals, which include the fats in the meats, eggs, butter or ghee, and cheeses, support our health by delivering protein, vitamins, minerals, Omega-3 fatty acids and essential amino acids to our bodies. When animals are fed grains, as they are in commercial confined feeding operations, (CFO's) these nutrients are significantly reduced. As consumers we must be aware and demand that our grocers carry grass-fed and "pastured" products, or we can purchase these products at the local farmers market. The recipes in Primal Cuisine, Cooking for the Paleo Diet are rich with these healthy fats.

Medway by-election: help needed Sunday
| Saturday, 3 May 2008 Source: Searchlight
After the campaign against the BNP in the elections of 1 May, the fight continues. The BNP is standing in a Medway Council by-election in Rochester South and Horsted ward.
Local anti-fascists have organised anti-BNP leafleting for Sunday 4 May, meeting at Chatham Station at 11.30am.
The by-election takes place next Thursday so we have very little time to let people know who the BNP are and what they really stand for. The BNP's success in getting one seat on the London Assembly will boost their potential vote in Medway and it is therefore essential that we have a good turnout on Sunday so we can cover as much ground as possible to reduce their vote.
We look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

Phallus Rising
Or, The Prisoner of
phallus, we must always keep in mind, is an idea, not a body part.
Bordo, The Male Body: A New Look at Men in Public and in Private (Farrar,
Straus and Giroux, 358 pages, $25).
The contemporary system
of self-control blends with its multitude of goods and spectacles begging for
indulgence, with the needs of a moralistic society whose conscience owes much
to Victorian precedent.
–Peter N.
Stearns, Battleground of Desire: The Struggle for Self-Control in Modern
America (New York University Press, 434 pages, $28.95).
The relationship
between a man and his private parts is never serene; there is always an element
of intrigue, mystery, open conflict in the mix.
Carlson, "A Note on the Dink" in Body, edited by Sharon Sloane
Fiffer and Steve Fiffer (Bard, 203 pages, $23).
At a moment
when the bookstalls are jammed with works that redefine the body, as well as
reexamine gender, it's passing strange that coitus–lovemaking, in
short–is never described there, or analyzed. To find it missing from hardcore
feminist texts (Natalie Angier's Woman, for example, or Naomi Wolf's
The Beauty Myth) is at least logical–since the ubiquity of heterosexual
screwing must be blamed on politics, not nature.
But to find
the Action missing in a pro-male polemic like Susan Bordo's The Male Body
is astonishing. What is more critical to the nature of both the male and female
bodies, which seem to have been molded primarily so that they "fit,"
if not lock in heat? What tells us more about the multidimensional interaction
between the two genders, psychic, strategic and physical? How can you devote
reams of copy to the prick, Mrs. Bordo (as Angier has lately raved about the
clit-wick), without describing it in the fire of combat?
If you and
I were writing The Male Body, or Angier's recent Woman, or
one called Man (the most conspicuous non-book of the hour: its very title,
not to say the necessity of a non-female author, must terrify our "paternalist"
publishers, quaking at the prospect of an Ultra-Right-Feminist, or URF, backlash),
you or I, simple-minded authors in search of a big market, would try to grab
the reader by the throat. We'd launch our bodybook with an exhaustive analysis
of this crucial and dramatic event. Yes, the making of love is always different,
just as the phrase "I love you," uttered more often than any single
sentence in any language according to Roland Barthes, signifies totally disparate
meanings. Given the seismic rise in education, travel and sexual freedom, contemporary
intimacy surely takes thousands of extraordinary forms.
But heterosexual
fucking–indeed all fucking–still has certain inevitable stages, as
does life, deserving research and study: It begins (Act I), with a move usually
by the male, yet beckoned on by the female in countless ways that deserve demographic
analysis, if not mathematical tables. A signal step is taken (Act II) that leads
to foreplay from which no one expects to emerge untouched–be it the unhooking
of a bra or the unzipping of a fly, according to the vin du pays. The middle
of this affair (Act III) is its key, rather like the knocking on the gate in
Macbeth: Here the prick and the clit begin to both rise and moisten,
as the "other" brings it on, via words, stroking, licking, spanking,
panting. Can foreplay ever go on too long? Anthropologists tell us no, that
certain classes, races and regions devote hours to this art, with many non-Western
males from 21 on able to delay ejaculation indefinitely.
As for the
final eruption and orgasm, what ecstatic descriptions of this moment were once
written to define and celebrate this sacred and transforming sensation, in poetry
and prose? Yes, most of the authors spoke from the prick up, not the clit, because
more men than women were taught to write and read until well into this century.
Now we can hope to hear a double chorus, once past our momentary obsession with
terror and domination. Perhaps in the next century, freed from gendercide, we
will hear the verbal music of ecstasy again, from both genders.
Hidden off
in the corners, the molten poetry and prose of love is in fact beginning to
pour in, primarily from progressive-left feminists. Joined by liberated males,
these testimonies are likely to be in contradictory bipolar languages, because
the organs speaking differ from each other as the land from the sea. As for
the entire drama, Acts I through IV, here is where any serious study of the
"new" body, the "new" Eve, the "new" Adam, must
inevitably begin. And this so far unwritten chapter must combine description
with cultural analysis, history, demographics and precise percentages, in the
manner of Prof. B. Goldstein's forgotten classic, Human Sexuality
(1976), which precisely studies the time spans allotted to foreplay in several
Until the
quintessentially human act of fucking is granted the same serious attention
accorded domestic and state-sponsored violence, we'll remain deaf, blind
and dumb to the implications of every issue raised by body and gender. This
barrier stands whether the theme be the history of phallus worship–the
"culture" of the dong, so beloved by Bordo, who sees its aura as more
important than its real-life presence; the alternating up-down size of the male
member; the recent intrusion of the once-banned straight male bod into modeling,
fashion, film, photography and advertising, Bordo's pet subject; the double
explosion of gay esthetics and sustained male-bashing; anti-hetero feminism;
or even the continuing obsession throughout our society with the Lolita epic–to
which Bordo turns in the conclusion to her book–with its tantalizing opposition
of older man and teenage woman, two opposites who exploit and torture each other
to the point of death.
All begin,
all lead back to the orgasmic moment we simply won't deal with in 1999.
I repeat: Not a single one of the recent blockbuster studies of the body–not
even those written by enlightened scholars like Helen Fisher–make room
in the index for words like "coitus," "intercourse," "love"
or "lovemaking." Why?
seen, The Male Body, despite its good-natured centrist flaws, offers
more than one hint. For this reason, it's a critical text. If Bordo ignores
hetero-ecstasy in the face of her good-natured pro-male position, she forces
us to see what we have truly become: a nation of self-indulgent sensualists
in Augustinian drag. Bordo begins and ends her book with lyric testaments to
her father, a handsome young man who wrote dashing poems but never conquered
life (he ended up working for his relatives)–and never permitted his daughter
to see him in the raw. She even roils us with descriptions of her excitement
as a young girl when she not only saw but held a few erect penises. But she
won't allow herself to express deep, repressed passion for the male body
in anything like a testament to its lean and useful beauty, in the manner of
Shakespeare counting his lady's ways or Mailer confessing helpless awe
before a pair of half-revealed boobs, to say nothing of the bewitching female
armoire just beneath them.
Bordo rails
at the male's voyeuristic skills, his ability to sing the praises of the
female body–thus relegating her gender to the status of the unquestioned
"beautiful" object. But she never sings in lyric praise for hard chests,
flat bellies, muscular legs or stiff pricks. Her book skirts (sic) sensual passion
and focuses instead on the "culture" of maledom and the penis. It
even asks "Does Size Matter?" and "What Is a Phallus?" and,
in a chapter entitled "Hard and Soft," alleges that the erection is
overpraised. Turn our eyes away, she argues, and focus on larger issues than
the merely physical.
examine this amazing network of propositions for a moment. For whom indeed does
the behavior of the phallus make no difference–save for here and there
a high-IQ eunuch? Is the phallus indeed an "idea," rather than the
physical wonder where life gets launched? And where does this allegedly all-powerful
paternalist "culture" dictate phallic praise in an age when every
11 p.m. news hour and every tabloid cover broadcasts the reverse–endless
evidences of heterosexual violence, never pleasure?
When was
the last time you heard a rapper or a diva croon about love, pure love? Take
a look at your subway car next time you ride–see the long rows of battered
women, sometimes stretching an entire car (a woman is beaten every 12 seconds,
we are told, by "husbands and boyfriends").
violence is horrible. I watched too much of it growing up under a violent
stepfather to have any illusions about its vicious effects. But "violence"
is hardly the only by-product of intimacy between the genders. Ecstasy tops
it roughly 1496 to 1, if we are to believe the contrarian truths offered by
researchers and statistics.
To answer
my first question above, then: Despite her early enthrallment with Bobby Cohen's
erect prick in schooldays ("I felt my first bolt of sexual heat not getting
'felt up' but touching him, and finding that he was hard"),
Bordo means to convince us our culture is obsessed with hardness, due to Paternal
Politics; that we deliberately ignore the phallus' varied cultural meanings
and functions, particularly in its inert or "soft" state. Though often
critical of the URF feminists, she joins them in berating Pfizer and Viagra
("let the dance begin" indeed). Ignoring the awesome billion-dollar
market motivation first in Pfizer's corporate mind, she sees the meticulous
research devoted to coaxing the penis to stand up as one more fatherly plot.
Replaying St. Augustine, the early church father who convinced generations of
Christians that the Genesis story literally condemns sex–rather than pride,
for which screwing is simply the metaphor–Bordo quotes Mailer's ironic
quip, "a stiff prick has no conscience," with sober approval.
St. Augustine
also hated uncontrollable erections because he believed they meant the soul
was giving way to Satan. URF feminists hate erections–or profess to hate
them–not because they signify irrepressible sexual excitement but because
they token the politics of "domination."
speak for a moment now the incorrect unspoken truth: Virtually all women are
fascinated by erections. When the phallus rises, in my experience, politics
are not an issue for either side. Knowing that stiffness works wonders on their
distaff companions, any man normally finds ways to bring it (the upswing) on,
provided that the element of provocation is either nearby or strip-dancing in
a fantasy inside his cortex. Your average male is also certainly aware that
the potential of pleasure, if not propagation of the race, dwells on the tip
of his solid shaft.
Now, pleasure
and propagation are humane values, up in the same league with science, politics,
literature and the Sistine Chapel (where more than one healthy prick can be
viewed). No man who has watched a woman behold with wonder his member going
up can forget it. Nor can he believe the current URF rhetoric that ignores this
self-evident truth. When Monica allegedly begged the President to let her finish
the oral sex they began, she broke the mute seal that proto-Victorianism has
pasted across the mouths of her gender. She spoke up, loud and clear, for pleasure,
didn't she? (And he, the prude, refused!)
In his failed
12-year attempt to stop Augustine's reading of Genesis from becoming papal
policy, Bishop Julian of Eclanum, his main rival in the fifth century, summed
up a classical thought, expressed often in the past, which I ask you to consider:
God made bodies, distinguished the sexes, bestowed affection through which bodies
would be joined, gave power to the semen and operates the secret nature of the
semen–and God made nothing evil.
The assumption
that erections are a secondary matter (they don't last long, our expert
points out), that Satanic males use them to dominate the gender (to which in
fact they're nearly always responding, quite helplessly, as Mailer argues
in The Prisoner of Sex, driven by testosterone and romance), denies women
their unquestioned moment of power, not the reverse. In fact, this is the takeover
moment most women savor. In her loins Bordo is not a self-conscious Augustinian
enemy of sexual pleasure. She means well. Rather, she is a failed acolyte of
the Bishop of Eclanum. Often she admits how she enjoys rolling in the hay with
us. She even quotes an acknowledged sensualist like Diane Ackerman, whose studies
of the senses and perfumes are classics, when she calls the penis "terrific"
and "fascinating."
But the
author isn't bold enough to admit that the male body's animal function
is joyful and life-giving, in crying need of celebration, not relegation to
the status of "idea." She edges around the undoubted male pursuit
of sexual joy as well as his testosteronic brain capacity, which has produced
mountains of literature and science as well as X-rated videos. But no songs,
no tropes, no exuberant praise. Again I ask: Why?
don't have a penis," Bordo says at one point, admitting a physical
fact that Angier, Wolf, MacKinnon won't acknowledge. But it does not stop
her from rating maledom from a perch far out in gender space. The heroes parading
through her book are mostly storybook males–Cary Grant, Babe Ruth, James
Dean, Marlon Brando. You can bet she is fondest of the p.c. twins Grant and
Dean, because they are "fragile" expressions of virility, not really
men of steel. And of course she sees the emergence of the nude male model as
a stealthy triumph for the gay community. Only now, she concludes, are "straight
guys flocking to the modeling agencies, much less concerned about any homosexual
Now Bordo,
an historian, ought to know that the straight male body has been front and center
in many cultures for thousands of years; witness the Sistine Chapel and the
naked Apollos all over Italy. Further, she again ignores the law of the market.
It is the exploding market of empowered "straight" girls that is prodding
Madison Ave. to provide gold to male models, gay or straight. I well remember
the lonely "hunt" by Cosmopolitan for a bare-assed male centerfold
in the 70s. I joined the long list with several of my creative-worker pals,
dreaming of cash rewards. Alas, they gave in to Burt Reynolds' celebrity,
but it doesn't alter the fact: Hand me or my brothers a fat check–or
a champagne partner–and we'll undress as fast as Mia Hamm or Brandi
In the late
90s, however, heterophobia is briefly but securely in the saddle, obscuring
these elemental truths. The centerpiece of this phobia, reversing the malady
that long penalized gays, is simple: joyful celebration of one gender by the
other–particularly his or her distinctive differentials, i.e., "masculine"
or "feminine" traits–is forbidden. Instead, we're now engaged
in a furious drive to find unisex similarities, ignoring difference and contradiction.
This is why Bordo can't rhapsodize properly about Bobby Cohen or Marlon
Brando. And when she or some of her more vicious sisters admit "difference,"
it must be given a functional, nonesthetic grade.
Take the
female miracle we know as "multiple orgasm," a delight for any nearby
male lucky enough to witness one. Women are the superior "sex which is
not one," Bordo says, echoing an infamous phrase. Because women are potentially
in constant heat all over their bodies, thanks to a multiplicity of sensitive
body parts, from nipples to ears to feet soles to clits to thighs. Whereas men
are focused, Bordo says, on one organ and one event.
Well, la
ti da. Since I do wear a penis I must dissent. If I am confined physically to
one point of contact, I'm not confined visually or intellectually. I usually
spend, with my gender, large portions of the day thinking about sex and looking
at women (an endless stream of studies, including the Kinsey Institute's,
back me up). Often masturbation occurs without effort, on elevators and in cars.
Such events, such streams of consciousness, are more than diversionary: They
probably produce much of the amorous music and poetry we revere (surely Shakespeare
had several hard-ons while he composed his sonnets, if not Romeo and Juliet).
It's probably forbidden to publish articles even in The New England
Journal of Medicine recommending erotic reverie as a reinforcement for the
state of mind we call "sanity"–as financial, violent, or takeover
scheming does not–but we all know it's a soul-satisfying way to spend
idle time.
Bordo acknowledges
the developed art of male voyeurism, but she doesn't like it. Guess why?
It relegates women to "objecthood." It leads straight guys to worship
Mia Hamm for her body rather than Michael Jordan, whom we merely admire, etc.,
etc. Though she hails the arrival of male cheesecake in Calvin Klein ads, she
finds them curiously reluctant to lay men out in passive repose, unlike languid
women, who "require no plot excuse to show off their various body parts."
Here is
where heterophobia wounds as it blinds. Another truth that can't be uttered
in the 90s, perhaps the most discomforting, is again quite simple: Naked women
are absolutely more interesting to behold than men, at least when they
stand still long enough for prolonged inspection, if not meditation. Of course
the male body deserves the subdued reverence that Bordo calls for. I applaud
her surely doomed call for full-page images of phallic arousal in Vogue,
GQ and beyond. But He still doesn't match the complexity of She,
of the corpus that captivated poets and divines for centuries before the E.R.A.
Most of
us know precisely why: The multiple orgasm itself depends on multiple points
of visual and tactile interest. I can't believe I need to prove my point
here, simply to remind you of it–and refer you to Anne Hollander's
classic study of this distinction in Seeing Through Clothes (1978). To
look at a male's body is a quick read, she argues, partly because of the
single-focus, partly because his body "stops," in effect, at the crotch,
cutting itself into two parts, while a woman's body is an uninterrupted
sweep, from head to toes, with an infinite number of variations. This is why
Mia Hamm rivets more of us as a potential nude study than Michael Jordan, who
is poetry mainly when he runs, moves, shoots and scores. The essence of the
male "difference" is rooted in action, not in repose–which obviously
doesn't mean women don't or can't move, physically or politically.
The traits that divide men and women are as subtle, as fascinating, as those
that seem, for the moment, to unite them.
The URF
writers now dominating the Sexual Theory market are obsessed with merging the
genders into one boring blob, as is the market, as is Hollywood, as is political
campaigning. One tv commercial and film after another shows women shouting down
males, leveling them with guns or corporate power, wearing helmets while they
rip up the streets with power drills. And you can count on the fingers of one
hand how many times we have seen your average female politician wearing a formfitting
dress. But She is not He. Neither is Air Force Col. Eileen Collins, commander
of the latest NASA mission. Strip them and they will still merit more sheer
esthetic reverence than Michael Jordan or myself. When Brandi "Hollywood"
Chastain tore off her jersey on national television, she revealed not a flat,
muscled chest but two black-bra-enhanced spheres that received endless attention,
commentary and replay, from every known gender. If Michael had done the same,
his chest might have gotten a tenth of the attention that we gave Brandi's.
None of
this means women are superior to men–God knows there are plenty of ways
even I can outperform Hillary, Judith and Brandy (certainly I can jump higher,
write and design websites faster and yell louder). It simply means the genders
are two, not one, demarcated most of all by bodies that are equal but separate.
In her attempt to blend these double differences into invisibility, Bordo does
both The Male Body and the intricacies of the male-female template immense
disservice. She cannot admit "feminine" traits that 20 years of demagoguery
want to ignore or blame on cultural imposition, particularly those that seem
gentle or nourishing (motherhood is almost as invisible in these texts as screwing),
or, perish the thought, seductive. Worse, she can't extol "masculine"
traits–ambition, size, strength, single-minded focus, proud fatherhood
(single dads are the fastest-growing parental demographic) and, most of all,
the raging romanticism that "speaks its desires" frontally, in song,
story and bars.
This reluctance
girds her refusal to read Nabokov's archetypal tale of an old man's
desire as anything other than perversion. In her long penultimate chapter on
this gender-driven epic, she savages not only Humbert, the supposed aggressor
in the tale, but coy, clever Lo herself. A tragic tale of two people driven
to self-destruction by their opposing lusts is reduced to a second-rate case
of harassment filed in a provincial court.
The Male
Body ends with another hymn to her father, who becomes a "feminist,"
finally, by admitting in his last days that he believes Anita Hill, not Clarence
Thomas, after first daring to debate the case with his daughter. Rather than
reveal the labyrinthine truths about the singularity of its subject, therefore,
the book joins the heterophobic parade of pundits who see the coming
ascendance of the Passive Postmodern Male.
bet the farm on this widely predicted event. When our phobic blinders are widened,
we'll see that a combination of social, economic and mind-changing events
in the past two decades are moving us toward differentiation, not singularity.
Permit me to isolate one simple cause among many others. As history tells us,
the rise of economic and political dependence for women increases sexual activism
among the gender that is normally mute about the dictates of its loins. This
trend is already charging ahead, to the discomfort of the puritanical lock on
our public discourse, media and print, on genderism. The percentages of women
who–since roughly 1980–are enjoying pre- and extramarital affairs
have spurted like the object of their desires. They are marrying later, having
tons of kids out of wedlock (I am speaking of prosperous white professional
girls, not just black welfare mothers), spawning fewer "legitimate"
kids with a certified hubby and divorcing at a European rate.
All of this
was not only predicted but welcomed in a book based on a conference at Barnard
in 1982, Pleasure and Danger: Exploring Female Sexuality, about which
you've heard little because its thesis (that heterosexual intimacy is a
life-enhancing pleasure) does not "fit" our current phobia. While
the wide range of essays and manifestos here take care to discourse on the dangers
implicit in the AIDS epidemic and domestic violence, the focus is on mainstream
fucking, how to enjoy it, how to induce the often self-absorbed male to attend
to women's sensual needs and, most of all, how to end centuries of silence
about what your mainstream woman wants in bed (we must "name our desires,"
said Barbara Ehrenreich). Though this text is rarely recalled in the late 90s,
it has proven singularly prophetic.
Women are
now naming their desires and acting upon them. The result is not less heterosexual
joy and abandon. It is more. Not for a moment do I deny that this sweet little
secret is a secret. The press, the publishers and the electronic media see the
women's movement not as an aphrodisiac but as a signal rebuff to maledom–and
certainly the phallus. Of course the properly terrified Ron Carlson, handed
the nasty assignment of writing about the dong in Body, a collection
of essays about eyes, arms, boobs, legs, asses, feet, wants to hide. He can't
even bring himself to call the life-launching shaft more than a "dink,"
about which neither gender, in his eyes, wishes to speak, or notice. And the
calm, erudite Prof. Stearns, viewing the "battleground" of desire,
sides in the end with our pompous, moralizing pols and pundits, predicting that
our Victorian instincts will chain us down again, 100 years after we broke free.
Do not believe,
friends, the going line. Forget the URFs, the media moralists, the Limbaugh
crowd. Speak up. Are you enjoying the game of sex and gender more than ever
before? Among those of you who can think past the 90s to the 80s, 70s, 60s or
even the 50s, the answer has to be a resounding yes for many reasons,
but most of all the one I cite above. As the two genders gradually discharge
their dependent debts to each other, as they come together in the new garden
on equal turf, they're certain to meet their irreplaceable opposite for
the first time, as Luce Irigaray, the heretical French feminist, prophesied
a decade ago. We no longer confront each other as functional, stereotypical
marriage partners, with duties and dependencies shrouding their inner dispositions.
We must therefore reconsider the whole question of place, to move on to another
age of difference. Man and woman are always meeting for the first time, because
they cannot be substituted one for the other.
I thought
of Irigaray recently when women pundits began to heat up over Viagra (which
not a few of them now use). She popped into my mind again when a network of
highly placed women scientists grumbled openly about how little research has
been conducted on female sexuality. "I suspect most male researchers are
more interested in male genitalia," announced one professor of psychiatry,
casting doubt upon her analytic powers. Dr. Vivian W. Pinn, director at NIH
of the Office of Research on Women's Health, argues that it's time
to focus as intensely on women's "sexual functions" as we do
on breast cancer and menopause.
Bring on forbidden data! The more each gender knows about the "other"–beyond
the sexist/feminist shibboleths we've been fed–the more amour will
prosper, at least on its physical level.
What is
going on before us–the baring of the male body, the baring of female desire–cannot
be underestimated. Certainly it matches the balancing of the national budget
for surprise. We're involved in an act of metaphoric seduction, insertion
and withdrawal on an extremely high level. No wonder its consequences can't
be publicly acknowledged: the epidemic of illegitimacy among middle-class whites,
for one example, which only the armor-plated Sen. Moynihan dares discuss on
the Senate floor.
Though all
this is occurring before our eyes, in response to deep psychic and economic
changes, we can't think it out or face it, given the legacy of the centuries
when doomsday Augustinian morality drove us to fear any open discussion of sexuality-as-pleasure.
In this context alone, Bordo's flawed, failed book isn't bad news.
Its appearance, along with a small countercurrent of recent pro-male books written
by sex-theorist women means the penis is on a survival track. Susan Faludi may
be ready to fire a countershot in her next book, Stiffed, but the trend
is still unpredictably upright. Yes, we are decades away from seeing an erect
penis on the cover of a national magazine, not to say its immersion in an organ
of equal power. This visual miracle, which would resemble a Mideast-style declaration
of gender peace, is still far off–unless we speak up, defying political
fashion, soon.

Glamp Honeymoons for Matthew McConaughey & Camila Alves
Keeping with the theme of Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves' "glamping" wedding, we put together a list of honeymoon-worthy spots the nature-loving couple would love. read more
The right chairs and chair treatments can transform what was a hodgepodge room into something that's elegant and refined. If it's a black-tie wedding, cover every chair in rich, silk fabric and add a coordinating sash. For a wedding that's outdoors, consider using simple chiavari chairs instead of the plastic folding kind. You can also use your chairs to highlight the season. Pay tribute to the time of year by decorating every one of the chairs with a miniature wreath for a winter wedding, or tie fresh blooms to each of the chair backs if you're having a springtime affair.see more

Morning Coffee || Kurtbastian
Sebastian liked coffee. Liked the taste of it, bitter on his tongue, had never really enjoyed adding anything to it unless it was to increase the burn in the back of his throat. But he barely noticed the taste from the cup in front of him as he waited. Waited for one Kurt Hummel. He wondered, not for the first time, why he'd accepted the offer a coffee. He rationalised that he and Kurt were friends. There was no reason to turn down a morning with someone he liked.
But therein lay the problem.
Because Kurt liked someone, and that someone was a tenor with blue eyes. There were only so many of those. It could be Sebastian. Perhaps worst of all; Sebastian wanted it to be him. He picked strips aimlessly at his croissant without eating them. What would he do if it was him? Nothing, probably. Kurt had expressed his distate for causal sex more than a few times since they'd started to talk regularly. And Sebastian Smythe didn't date. Still, the idea of it being somebody else that Kurt had found himself infatuated with was even more bitter than the coffee.
He didn't have a solution, though, so he just decimated the pastry in front of him while he waited.

The right for the poor in the United States to have a Defense Attorney's help when charged with a crime developed over time. There is a famous movie about it called Gideon's Trumpet. If you want details about the creation of the right, get the movie.
If you don't have the movie, we can sum up the right to a Public Defender for Indigent Defendants as follows:
Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, the US Supreme Court ruled that the language of the United States Constitution guarantees every person charged with a serious crime the right to a Defense Attorney's help and representation at trial.
It seems to make sense. After all, the poor criminal defendants should not be at a disadvantage in the American criminal justice system just because they do not have money to hire a Defense Attorney who could actually help. The government gets to use a highly paid prosecutor, shouldn't the Defendant have a Defense Attorney to explain the law, explain the process, review and verify the evidence, argue coherently, and fight back?
The United States Supreme Court later clarified that this right required the government to provide a Criminal Defense Attorney, at the public's expense, to defendants who could not afford to hire a private Defense Attorney.
|Eventually – and this is an interesting reflection on American Society – the court ruled that an Appointed Defense Attorney had to be "competent" and actually stay awake during a trial.
The theory behind this right is that an everyday person accused of a crime has no chance against a skilled and highly trained prosecutor without a defense Attorney to ensure the process is fair, and the evidence reliable.
Yes, somewhere in history, our ancestors learned that prosecutors are not always right, honest and fair. The right to an Attorney at public expense for the poor is a uniquely American counter balance to that problem.
The right to an Attorney for the poor has well defined details in today's world. Today in most states, a Defendant has a right to a court appointed defense Attorney if:
1) charged with a misdemeanor or felony (includes DUI charges, but not traffic infractions); and
2) qualify as "indigent" under the current guidelines set by the county or local where the case is being heard.
When a Defendant meets these qualifications, the court must appoint a Defense Attorney at little or no cost to help the Defendant.
These Court Appointed Defense Attorneys for the Poor are called "Public Defenders" and are often misunderstood.
Are Public Defenders Real Defense Attorneys?
You bet. In most counties, there is a separate county division called the Office of the Public Defender, which is the collection of Attorneys hired by the county to act as the court appointed defense counsel for the poor or "indigent". These attorneys are known as "Public Defenders".
All Public Defenders are licensed by the State Bar of their state to practice criminal defense law. In fact, often, they are the best criminal defense trial attorneys around. This is due to the fact that they work every courtroom every day, they how their judges are likely to rule, and they know what to expect from the local juries.
It is true that many young lawyers start their trial careers with a Public Defenders Office, but the reason for this is more often due to the excellent training available to new Public Defenders, than to the new commers' inability to get a higher paying job.
Are Public Defenders Available To Everyone Who Asks for One?
No. You must first apply for a Public Defender in court and then qualify as "indigent" under the county's rules. Generally, if an accused, or the family of the accused, can come up with the money for a private attorney, the accused will not qualify for a public defender. An unwillingness to borrow money for an Attorney, or to sell an asset such as a car does not make one "indigent". Generally the courts require that a defendant must have no access to resources for a private Attorney before the qualify for a Public Defender.
Are Public Defenders Free?
No. Almost all California Counties now charge a minimum fee for use of a Public Defender. And many counties now will charge the accused for the services of the public defender on a sliding scale based upon a person's income, and the court will enforce payment of the bill.
Serious penalties apply to those who try to mislead the court about their ability to pay for a public defender.
How Do You Apply For a Public Defender?
You must appear in court on your assigned court day, and inform the judge that you want to request the help of a public defender. This problem is one giant disadvantage for people accused of Driving under the influence (Vehicle Code section 23152) because it means they do not get help prior to their court date. And in DUI cases, there is a lot to do prior to a court date. For example, a person arrested for a DUI offense in CA only has 10 days to schedule a DUI hearing to protect their drivers license, and a Public Defender's help comes too late for that deadline. And worse yet for the DUI defendant, the Public Defender will not help with DMV hearings at all.
Practice Tips:
In most traffic citation cases, a Public Defender is not available, because the Defendant is not charged with a misdemeanor or more serious crime.
Public Defenders have limitations.
Public Defenders are generally a great value for those who qualify. However, they do have limitations that private Attorneys do not have.
One of the downsides of requesting a Public Defender is that you have to go to court to request one, and you may not get one you like. In most misdemeanor cases, a private defense attorney can go to court for you, and you can always hire the one that works best with you.
Public Defenders are also generally assigned to deal with one case for a Defendant. If the Defendant has several cases in different courts, a different Attorney may be appointed on each, making coordinating the defenses difficult.
Public Defenders will not assist with issues outside of the courtroom, such as DMV hearings (important in DUI cases), and generally will not talk to defendants or provide consultations prior to being appointed in court. For defendants with outstanding warrants, this means it is unlikely that a Public Defender can help before getting arrested on the warrant.
A person who wishes to discuss a case with a Public Defender prior to appearing in court should call the Public Defenders Office in their county to see if a pre court consultations is possible.
My advice if you are not sure if you qualify for a public defender? Shop around for a private attorney first, and find out if they can help more, and faster than a public defender. And at what cost? There is no harm in shopping.
Defendants who need more time before a misdemeanor arraignment to shop for an attorney can often have such a request granted by the judge.

I bring you an old post which has been one of my blog's highest hits.
Here's a quick run down of the life span of Make-Up before I check on craviotto. I still wonder what Hoarders and Make-up Addicts/Junkies do when their Make-Up expires. I bet they just keep throwing them away to make room for newer ones.
This is one of the reasons I control myself from hoarding because I know it's never healthy to use expired make-up.
- MASCARA:4-6 Months
- EYELINER:1 Year
- FOUNDATION&CONCEALER:1 Year

Though there is a issue that comes from people that buy gold even if there is no victims that is screwing the economy though at this point in the game I think too many wealthy players with twinks have already skewed the market.

Our Locations
The UAB Department of Radiation Oncology is committed to helping you navigate the sometimes complex world of medical insurance and billing. Although your insurance coverage is contracted between you and the insuring entity, it is our goal to always provide timely and accurate claims. But because your policy is a contract between you and your insurer, the UAB Department of Radiation Oncology has no control over its terms. For this reason, it is very important for you to communicate with your employer or health care representative regarding eligibility and determination of coverage.
As a participating provider with your health care plan, our knowledgeable and helpful staff will obtain the necessary pre-certifications and authorizations. Depending upon the terms of your coverage, you should anticipate some out-of-pocket expenses, such as co-payments, co-insurance, and a deductible. Many times, patients choose to come to our facility even though they are out of network. In this case, the insurance company is billed as a courtesy, but any unpaid charges remain the patients responsibility.
If you are non-resident of the United States and do not have U.S.-accredited insurance coverage, payment options are available. Please contact us so that we may provide all the information you need to complete your payment.
We accept all the following credit cards:
- Visa
- Master Card
- American Express

Continental Airlines balloons for kids
I have been regularly flying Continental for over a decade but time after time the airline continues to mistreat me. And when I have complained, all I have got from them is one of those canned apologies with no compensation of any kind ever. Things were not so awful in the good old days. Here is a photo of the airline treating kids like rock stars. My 6-year old nephew asked when he saw the picture, "They did what?"

"We are so happy with our finished product. The design team was wonderful about tweaking our save the date magnet with each proof, and they were flexible about letting us see different ideas. We received the finished product so quickly. The magnets are light, which is great because the envelopes will only need one regular stamp. We love our save the date and highly recommend this one."
"The prices, customer service and the time it took to receive our order was all outstanding. Would definitely order again. Great job WPD!!"
"The magnets came earlier than expected and were absolutely beautiful! They are larger than business card size so you can really see all the pictures on the magnet. So perfect! The only downside is that there is not a wide color variety when picking the font and line colors. Overall amazing product for our save the dates."
"The quality of the magnet was great and the photos came out beautiful. The live chat representative was very helpful explaining how to get the custom color I wanted. My proof was emailed to me before within hours of placing my order and was ready for shipment on the following day. The custom color was EXACTLY what appeared on the proof and what I wanted."
"These were so cool, and we were skeptical about ordering online, but we were very happy with the product. The quality is great, and everyone loved how we personalized the words. Highly recommended!"
