The media is full of stories about John Travolta's alleged groping incidents with male masseurs and asking, "Is he gay?" and "Did his wife know?" We don't know what is going on in John Travolta and Kelly Preston's marriage, but plenty of other non-celeb couples deal with this issue every day.
Contrary to popular belief, finding out your partner is gay is not something a spouse "knows about" and decides to ignore. It is horrible, shocking, and surreal. Believe me, I know.
But if the spouse of a friend or family member comes out, you can help. Your friendship and emotional support will be vital at this devastating time. The first way you'll want to help your friend is by NOT say the following 13 things -- no matter how much you want to.
Didn't you know?
Did you see any signs?
My cousin's friend's sister's husband came out.
(That's great. Has nothing to do with me.)
Isn't that better than another woman?
(No. It's different. Not better.)
It's good he came out though, right?
(Probably, but I can't celebrate right now.)
I always suspected.
(You're an asshole.)
Didn't you have sex?
Ha. That's funny.
(I actually had someone say this.)
Are you going to get an AIDS test?
(Yes, but that is not what I want to discuss right now.)
Maybe he's just going through a phase.
(Maybe so, but right now he's gay and I'm destroyed.)
Is he the father of your children?
Did he always want to do anal with you?
(No. You've seen Brokeback Mountain too many times.)
Are you worried about him being around the kids?
(No. He's gay, not a child molester.)
And now here are some things that you could say to a friend or family member that would be really helpful and appreciated:
I'm really sorry this happened.
This is devastating.
I'm here to support you.
Call me whenever you need to talk.
I'm in total shock right now.
What would you say to a friend whose husband or wife came out?

I'm so sorry this happened.
I wish for you my step-father's type. The greatest second marriage story ever and I had the luxury to be a wittness to it. You deserve that.
WOW I realize how hard this must have been, but at the same time what about him? Can you imagine how torn he probably was? Thoughs of being gay sometimes rise up for YEARS and people continue to try to be who they are not. I can only imagine how he felt when he told you. I can imagine it was probably the hardest thing in his life. Sure its hard on you too, I would hope you are both happy being where you are now.
I have a 4yo son who insists he's a girl. This is not even close to the same situation but the devestation is probably similar. I am extremely supportive of LGBT rights, and yet, when it happens to you, you STILL go into shock and have to deal with the devestating emotions that go along with that kind of news. SO what would I say?
"I am so sorry this has happened. Is there anything I can do to HELP? Would you like to go to a PFLAG meeting with me to find support? I have the number to a specialized therapist that I talk to about {my child's name} if you would like it." {{BIG HUG}}
Who cares about how he feels! Did you watch her interviews? This man not only lied to her for 10 years of her life that she can't get back but he also acted on his "sexual confusion" with other man....so no I feel no pity for him. If he was confused, he should have never started a relationship with a women. Even if he wasn't sure at the start of their relationship, once he realized that he was confused, he should have ended the relationship. He didn't have to admit to her or even himself that he was gay but could have still told her that he didn't think the relationship was working out for him. No one forced him to stay in a relationship for 10 years that wasn't right for him. Relationships break up everyday for one reason or another. I'm not sure if I could ever forgive my husband if he did that to me after years of marriage and having kids together.
Well, I had a similar thing happen, but mine didn't "come out", he just left! He abandoned me and our child. It is not fun! You who say "celebrate his gayness", etc. You go celebrate when you find out that your husband and the father of your children has lied to you all these years, the relationship had problems because of it, but you didn't know what was causing the problems, and now your "family" will no longer be a family. You are on your own with your kid or kids and the person you thought you trusted, you do not trust at all anymore! He married you to hide, not because he loved you! He married you to disguise his identity.
So, go celebrate all that you nitwit! I am not against gay people at all. But, I AM against anyone lying to cover their hidden lives and agendas and harming innocent partners and children along the way!

Thursday June 19, 2008
For Immediate Release:Majority CaucusLouisville Metro CouncilContact: Tony Hyatt 574-4137/526-3622Councilwoman Cheri Bryant Hamilton (D) 5 has announced a community wide protest rally for Sunday, June 22nd at 2:00pm at the corner of 34th and Market Streets.
"I want the community to be aware that a liquor store has applied for a license across the street from an area voters said "no" to more alcohol sales in this area last September," says Hamilton.
In September, voters overwhelmingly approved no alcohol sales in precincts N104, N105, N107 and N109. Although challenged in court, the precincts eventually went dry earlier this year.
"Bakos Liquors is trying to thwart the will of the people moving from precinct N105 across the street into N106 to escape the areas where alcohol is not sold," says Hamilton. "This community continues to send the message that enough is enough when it comes to blanket approval of liquor stores licenses."
A similar rally in March of 2007 is what began the effort of the special wet dry election.
For more information about the protest rally, contact Councilwoman Hamilton's office at 574-1105.

RICHMOND, Va., Oct 25, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Genworth Financial
(NYSE: GNW) today announced another innovative way to help meet the diverse
retirement needs of Americans -- GE Principal Protection Advantage(SM), a
rider available on select variable annuities issued by GE Life and Annuity
Assurance Company. As a key feature of variable annuities with GE Principal
Protection Advantage, a contract holder who is at or nearing retirement (or
his or her beneficiary) is guaranteed to receive income payments totaling no
less than their original investment, yet have the potential to receive more
depending on sub-account performance. By coupling guaranteed income with
potential market upside, customers can help manage the risk of a poor interest
rate or equity market environment at or near retirement.
GE Principal Protection Advantage is the latest income-oriented option
driven by the positive reception of the GE Retirement Answer(R) variable
annuity, introduced in 2002. The underlying concept for the two is similar in
that contract holders are guaranteed a minimum level of retirement income, but
also have the ability to receive increased income based on equity market
driven sub-account performance.
Top Notch Tools & Education To Support Clients
"In addition to our broad product menu, we're proud of the education and
tools we provide to financial professionals so they can help clients address
the major retirement planning challenges of market volatility, longevity,
inflation and healthcare risk," said Pam Schutz, President & CEO of Genworth
Financial's Retirement Income & Investments business. "To provide additional
support to financial professionals, we're also continuing to significantly
expand our number of field wholesalers and retirement income specialists."
"Each investor's situation is different," said Robert T. Methven,
Retirement Services Group leader at Genworth Financial. "Clients and their
financial professionals face a complex retirement planning landscape today.
Our series of products is designed to help meet the various retirement
challenges, depending on age and need.
"Whether you are investing for future income during the accumulation
stage, creating guaranteed income at or near retirement, or looking to
preserve principal to pass on to your heirs, our retirement income suite can
play a powerful role in helping you accomplish your goals."
An Income & Protection Suite For All Retirement Stages
Genworth Financial's underwriting companies offer a robust line of
retirement income products serving a wide spectrum of investors, allowing for
added flexibility in the pursuit of retirement goals:
* GE Retirement Answer variable annuity, introduced by GE Life & Annuity
in 2002, allows long-term investors to select how much income they want
to begin receiving at a "retirement" date at least ten years in the
future based on how much they want to contribute on a lump sum or
monthly basis. This guaranteed minimum lifetime income may increase
based on equity market driven performance of the assets invested in the
* GE Guaranteed Income Advantage(SM), introduced in 2004, is a rider
designed for long-term investors who want to allocate assets within
their GE Life & Annuity variable annuity toward retirement income needs
at least ten years in the future. Again, contract holders are
guaranteed a minimum lifetime income based on contributions to the
rider, but may also receive more based on equity market driven
performance of the assets in the sub-account.
* GE Principal Protection Advantage is a variable annuity rider from GE
Life & Annuity designed for those at or nearing retirement who want to
secure a guaranteed level of lifetime income no less than their
original investment or their Reset amount. This income must begin at
least three years in the future with upside potential based on equity
market driven performance of the assets in the sub-accounts.
* GE Guaranteed Withdrawal Advantage(SM) is a variable annuity rider from
GE Life & Annuity designed for those at or near retirement who want to
receive at least their original investment back in the form of
As an industry leader in long-term care insurance, term life and single
premium immediate annuities, Genworth companies offer a suite of products that

All guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of GE Life &

required purchase payments are not made, clients will still receive retirement
payments beginning on the date chosen; however, they may have a forfeiture or
reduction of the minimum guarantee.
Variable annuities are long-term investment vehicles designed for
retirement purposes. Withdrawals/surrenders reduce the contract value and any
death benefits. Withdrawals/surrenders of taxable amounts are subject to
ordinary income taxes and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, an additional 10% IRS
penalty tax may apply. Surrender charges may also apply.
Withdrawals/surrenders that reduce the contract value below the contract
minimum will cause the contract to be surrendered in full.

Product Details
Hive is a highly addictive strategic game that is not restricted by a board and can be played anywhere on any flat surface. Hive is made up of twenty two pieces eleven blue and eleven silver, resembling a variety of creatures each with a unique way of moving. Hive is a board game with a difference. There is no board! With no setting up to do, the game begins when the first piece is placed down. As the proceeding pieces are placed this forms a pattern that becomes the playing surface [the pieces themselves become the board] unlike other such games, the pieces are never eliminated and not all have to be played. The object of the game is to totally surround your opponents' queen, whilst at the same time trying to block your opponent from doing likewise to your queen. As more and more pieces are added the game becomes a fight to see who can be the first to capture the opposing Queen Bee. The soldier ants battle to keep control of the outside of the hive, whilst the Beetles climb up to dominate the top. Spiders moving into holding positions as the Grass Hoppers jump in for the kill. Keeping one eye on the hive and the other on your opponents reserves, the tension builds as one wrong move will see your Queen Bee quickly engulfed; .... game over! The player to totally surround his opponents' queen wins the game.
- Hive is suitable for 2 players
- ages 9 and up
- playing time 30 minutes. Ranked #83 on www.BoardGameGeek.com

- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/18/2014...had a GREAT dinner here; I always order the duck if a restaurant offers it, and the duck dish I had here was absolutely fabulous, juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, and it was a very generous portion. My wife had the scallops with corn, and could not stop raving about it. We requested a table by the window overlooking the falls, and they had that waiting for us. Sue our server was friendly and very helpful....all in all a fabulous, romantic evening. I can't wait to go back next year.Special Features:
- PW22VIPDined on 9/16/2014Been here many times. It is the best restaurant in the area and has a beautiful view if seated by a window. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. We had the cheese plate to start and it was excellent. All the food was outstanding, especially the fish, except the duck was a little tough. However, the duck is the only complaint I have had in the many times I have been there.Save room for their great deserts! In addition, one can see glass blowing at certain times and there is whole shop of Simon Peace glass where one can purchase a memento or more of one's visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BandGfromNYDined on 9/14/2014This was a return visit for us and it did not disappoint. The scenic view and outstanding food are definitely worth the trip.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- rickDined on 9/12/2014Food was very good, but portions were extremely small, especially for the price. Our entres costs upwards of $30 and the four of us went home hungry!Special Features:
- Nice view, fancy food, OK serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/10/2014Simon Pearce Restaurant lived up to its fancy reputation, complete with beautiful waterfall scenery and spendy meals made of ingredients I couldn't always pronounce. The swordfish in particular was remarkably good. Our waitress, while rather pleasant, seemed to be occupied for much of our visit despite the low traffic on a Wednesday evening. This was probably the only less-than-stellar aspect of our experience.Special Features:
- abrondeauDined on 9/8/2014The food and service were superb. Everything about the evening was perfect. I would return again in a hearbeat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FantasticWriterDined on 9/7/2014Consistently, the Simon Pearce restaurant is wonderful in every way. This time we had a new server in training, so the service was a bit off. The food was fantastic. We love that they use many organic ingredients.Special Features:
- Great nightAntoniusDined on 9/4/2014The hostess wanted to to give us a better seat out on the terrace so we waited a little longer but it was worth it. The seat was right above the waterfall. My wife has a gluten allergy and she was impressed by how easy you guys accomidated her. She was pleasantly surprised to recieve a gluten free dinner roll. The food was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary Treatdubt8Dined on 9/2/2014We went on a weeknight evening and were seated in the best seat in the house. It was a thrill for all the senses, gorgeous scenery, outstanding food and drink, sounds of the relaxing waterfall - just spectacular! Thank you!Special Features:
- Simon PearceMichelleDined on 8/30/2014We were a party of 3 and had the tuna, chicken and cod dish - all were amazing!! For appetizers the vermont cheddar soup, beet salad and scallops were over the top. We were all too full for dessert. Definitely would go back. A beautiful, picturesque setting both inside and out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A meal with a view!BluesteakDined on 8/30/2014I took my wife there for her birthday and our anniversary. They seated us right on time and we had a beautiful view of the water. Our server was very professional, not pushy and checked in with is just right. I asked for my steak rare and it was just right! Overall we had a wonderful and romantic dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- one of a kind placeUrchinDined on 8/30/2014We love Simon Pearce and have been going there one a rwgular basis for over a decade.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful View and Great FoodsgtlefteyeDined on 8/30/2014As you approach this site you will see a scenic waterfall and above it is the seating area for the restaurant. Seated in the back of the restaurant you have a view of the river and possibly the falls. The menu is small but whatever you order is going to be great. I had the NY Sirloin and it was cooked perfectly and was not over portioned at all. I would recommend this place to friends and if I travel back to the area I would go again.Special Features:
- Prettiest restaurant ever!AlexaDined on 8/29/2014This restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, and they don't leave it at that. The food is phenomenal! Really unique dishes done perfectly every time! I love this place and the waterfall it looks over!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent fare and SettinghubdocDined on 8/29/2014Top notch dining in VT. The only shortcoming is the lack of a bar, given their lack of flexibility around early arrivals. Probably somewhat intentional, given that one then wanders through the Simon Pearce showroom to kill time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lbccaDined on 8/25/2014Excellent in every way. Met all expectations. Food outstanding, wonderful choices with wine pairings, Not often dark and stormy or Pimms cup available without request. Showroom in building a bonus.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Stunning and deliciousJessVIPDined on 8/24/2014Have eaten at Simon Pearce many times and it never disappoints. We sat on the patio overlooking a covered bridge and waterfalls and Vermont scenery from various angles. The food was terrific, with several menu favorites I choose every time. Service was excellent and the waitperson delightful. Always delightful looking in the gorgeous shop before dinner...just a perfect evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AnniversariesDined on 8/22/2014As always our experience was fantastic. We attend annually ( OCCASSIONALLY MORE)the weekend of the Scottish Highland Games which coincides with our wedding anniversary. (58 years this year) We have recommend it to many friends and no one has ever complained. The food is always prepared to perfection, our table was reading and waiting for us and the service was the best. Already looking forward to next year if not before for a return visit.Special Features:
- XxxxVIPDined on 8/22/2014Our food was delicious and we hope that Simon Pearce is back on its customary pace.Special Features:
- A Night of Great Food87thbirthdayDined on 8/21/2014This is a beautifully designed, spacious restaurant, inside the Simon Pearce glass workshop is located on a river. The food is made from fresh, top-quality ingredients. We sat at a table in the corner overlooking the falls with a view of the new covered bridge. The Cabernet Sauvignon, Simon Pearce Reserve '10, was an excellent choice. Our appetizers were a beet salad and a pan seared scallop. Both were excellent. Sadly, the Swordfish special was 86ed. The vegetarian option that my partner chose was not to her liking so we were not charged. I had Horseradish Crusted Cod and loved it. Dessert was similarly well executed. The excellent service made for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Simon Pearce is well worth the visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food and serviceJaguarXDined on 8/21/2014Creative food that is plated well to be appealing to the eye is becoming rare, but can be found at this restaurant. The service matches the creativity of the food preparation. Our service was a bit quick, but I am sure if you tell the staff that you are not in a hurry you will receive more traditionally paced service. My wife and I have found our new "go to" restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good But ONLY GoodManhattanWiliamDined on 8/20/2014EVERYONE recommended this restaurant to us and while it was good, it was ONLY good. The cheddar cheese soup was delicious, as expected. We had 2 entrees, the duck was very good and the cod, while fresh and flaky, didn't quite work over the mashed potatoes and the sauce, while flavorful with vinegar added for tartness, just didn't make for a winning combination with the fish. The ambiance is all about the waterfall, ok it's nice but I disliked the overall appearance which was bright wood and very "standard", something like a slightly upscale Olive Garden. Bottom line: it's ok but there are better options in Vermont to be sure.
- Fantastic in every possible way!NaPaDined on 8/19/2014Everything was wonderful but our waitress (very short hair - cant remember name) was fantastic! Not only did she provide outstanding service but she also provided fantastic tourist guidance which we did everything on the list. Our son and wife recommended SP so the whole family will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful experience for a familyVTvacationDined on 8/19/2014Our experience at Simon Pearce Restaurant was outstanding. We had our three children along, which could have been a challenge in such a nice restaurant, but it was great from the start. Kids menus with crayons, sitting over the river, a server who was so good with the kids and knowledgeable about the company and food, and the list goes on. The food was delicious, we loved the root beer and the icing on the cake was when a hot air balloon took off just up the river from the restaurant. What a great view we had and such a fun experience for all of us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently GoodNHTransplantDined on 8/16/2014Once again, we had a great meal with outstanding service. Our only negative was that the night was a bit too chilly to enjoy the outdoor seating (which is actually a dining room with sliding windows, Carribean style), but we can't fault the restaurant for that. Vermont weather can be fickle. Now, we have an excuse to return again this season when it is warm enough to dine "outdoors."Special Features:
- Wonderful riverside restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/16/2014The Simon Pierce restaurant remains a solid choice in central Vermont--strong menu, charming setting, beautiful views over the river and dam. Not visionary cuisine, but well executed and a strong menu. Ask for a table by the windows!Special Features:
- Continues to impressEkfrancisDined on 8/16/2014This is the first time we visited for dinner and were very impressed. Andrew was our server and he was extremely kind with my dairy free restrictions. It was the final touch to a lovely day Vermont day trip from Boston.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/15/2014We really enjoyed visiting Simon Pearce in Vt. Their old location on the Brandywine River in PA was a favorite and this one did not disappoint. Our server was very professional and friendly. We even bumped into her on the hiking trail the next day. The striped bass was delicious and the brown bread was so yummy.Special Features:
- DisappointingsuebieVIPDined on 8/15/2014Based on all the reviews and accolades, we were psyched for a great meal. Unfortunately, the food didn't deliver. Scallop appetizer and striped bass specual were over cooked. Go to watch the glass blowing but eat elsewhere.
- Beautiful restaurant-uneven serviceNYCLESdinerDined on 8/15/2014We returned for dinner the other night after happening upon the restaurant a year ago. Last year we had a great meal, great wine, and service. It was not at the same level across the board this visit. Nothing awful, but service and food delivery was uneven. I had to pour most of our own wine, we were very hungry when we sat down so we especially noticed that it took a while for our bread to come, and our salad course was skipped, but they politely took our entrees back and brought the salad. Again, nothing awful and the food was good. We'd still go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best resturant on our tripLuvSockESoosheDined on 8/14/2014Our waiter was very helpful in picking out great food and wine combinations. Food was outstanding, desert great, wine excellent, service fantastic.Special Features:
- What a view! a lovely dinner.OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/13/2014The restaurant is lovely, the service is very good, the food is fit for a foodie but the view of the river will keep you coming back. Be sure to come early and see the glass works, the art to blowing glass is amazing to say. We had the cheese tray which I loved the blue cheese and the beets salad was very good.Special Features:
- TripfoodiesDined on 8/13/2014The setting is scenic ... A old mill building set along a river, which rushes over a dam creating a waterfall. Wonderful views for window tables! Food is excellent. We had roasted duck and short rib for entrees, beautifully plated. Servers were pleasant to all customers and helpful with special requests. As we left for the evening, the young man who was bar tending thanked us and wished us well as we left! Adjacent to the restaurant is Simon Pearce glassworks and retail store. There are glassblowers working until 11 PM on production pieces. These artisans are friendly and willing to speak to you as they work. The glass is beautiful but can be expensive. Altogether very enjoyable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another great meal at Simon PearceactoniteDined on 8/11/2014This restaurant has been probably the most consistently good spot of any we have gone to over the years. We've been dining there a few times a year for almost as long as its been open, and has never disappointed. We had mentioned on our Open Table reservation that it was our anniversary and they gave us one of the best tables in the place, directly overlooking the falls on the screened porch. Since we're usually there during the winter, it was wonderful to experience this "other side" of Simon Pearce.Special Features:
- Lovely Summer EveningBirdGirlDined on 8/9/2014The setting was perfect for a beautiful Summer Saturday evening. Our table by the window overlooking the falls as the sun faded could not have been nicer. The colorful hot air balloon that floated unexpectedly close by completed the picture. And the food! Horseradish encrusted cod was accompanied by unusual crispy leeks and creamy mashed potatoes. A cheese sampler, fresh green salad and colorful beet salad were all delicious. A highlight of the meal was a homemade blueberry sorbet made by the woman tending bar. Refreshingly tart without too much sugar. Yum! The service was friendly and efficient. We will be back!Special Features:
- Always a lovely mealOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/7/2014Every time we go to Simon Pearce we have a wonderful meal and remind ourselves we should go more often. Request a table near the waterfall. The view is spectacular. My mark of a good chef is the salad. The frisée salad here is delicious. Cod with horseradish crust is my favorite entree. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great night out!floyd59Dined on 8/7/2014The service was outstanding, the food was great and our table was amazing, we had fantastic view! Our only complaint was that we ordered a scallop appetizer to share and there were just TWO scallops on the plate!! At $13, that's $6.50 a scallop! They were delicious scallops, and it would have been nice to have a few more. Otherwise, everything was perfect.Special Features:
- Always outstanding!SprucegooseDined on 8/7/2014Plan on arriving at 5:30PM in order to get a waterside table on the porch. You will not be disappointed with the view. Food is always great here, local ingredients, well portioned and balanced, but it's the view taht makes the experience memorable!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Spectacular ExperienceeuphemismoDined on 8/4/2014We had a wonderful table overlooking the river, and watching kids high dive into it. This is a magnificent restaurant with great food and service. Don't miss it, if you have a chance to get a reservation with open table.Special Features:

Movie Info
The feature film debut of producer and TV director D.J. Caruso, this pulpy noir mystery is a dark tale of redemption set among southern California crystal methamphetamine "tweakers." Val Kilmer stars as Danny Parker, a former trumpet player who has become a tattooed speed freak living in a cesspool of murderous dealers and hardcore addicts near the desert lake of the title. Danny's fall from grace is the result of a hidden agenda, however -- he's seeking answers about the murder of his beloved

All Critics (90) | Top Critics (28) | Fresh (53) | Rotten (32) | DVD (18)
Repellent yet intriguing, brutal yet funny, wicked yet strangely compassionate, The Salton Sea is more about mixing genres and styles than illuminating a credible reality.
Sacrificing content for style, Caruso gives us a lot to look at but little to ponder.
For what it is, it's well-done -- a stylized-beyond-reality derivation of Natural Born Killers, perhaps. Or a more gonzo version of Go or Blow. But the heart has been stylized out of it.
If there's no art here, it's still a good yarn -- which is nothing to sneeze at these days.
A thriller with an edge -- which is to say that it doesn't follow the stale, standard, connect-the-dots storyline which has become commonplace in movies that explore the seamy underbelly of the criminal world.
Lovable absurdity is the saving grace of a drug movie, and on the rare occasion that this genre works, the head trip winds up being a worthwhile journey.
The overall voyage on The Salton Sea is an uneasy one hampered by a confusing story that admits out loud it doesn't know where it's going.
Com boas atua��es de Kilmer e D'Onofrio, o filme tem um roteiro razo�vel, mas sem foco. Salva-se gra�as ao interessante personagem principal.
Marked by an ambitious style and solid performances, but hampered by a story that buries its primary focus until late in the game.
Is authenticity too much to ask? It's not as if the various drug subcultures don't have enough humor and tragedy built in that you need to take a detour into Fantasyland.
It's a sort of rollercoaster ride through the salvaged wreckage of a hundred similar movies.
Lo lamento, pero este mar no me atrap� como para creerle mucho. Una cinta m�s, regular y nunca tan buena como el director quiere hacerla parecer, presuntuosa y pasajera...
...[Vincent D'Onofrio's] almost insanely entertaining performance essentially takes the film to an entirely different level...
There's something fundamental missing from this story: something or someone to care about.
While it's all happening, it's entertaining enough, but when it's finished (in a disappointingly conventional manner), it doesn't seem to have been about very much.
It turns out to be just another inane druggie thriller with a revenge plot.
By getting myself wrapped up in the visuals and eccentricities of many of the characters, I found myself confused when it came time to get to the heart of the movie.
Overall, this examination of manufactured corruption set against a film noirish swagger may not have the in-depth impact like contemporaries L.A. Confidential or Memento, but this Sea is certainly worth swimming in
Even with a green Mohawk and a sheet of fire-red flame tattoos covering his shoulder, however, Kilmer seems to be posing, rather than acting. And that leaves a hole in the center of The Salton Sea.
Audience Reviews for The Salton Sea
Like "Drive," this film has a lot of toughness and violence, but also an immense amount of heart -- and some moments of dazzling, jazzy style.
Summarizing the plot runs the risk of spoiling the many surprises that the story contains. So I'll just say that the main character (Kilmer) is a loving, easy-going jazz musician who stumbles into a den of vipers and has to find the wherewithal to defend himself against their depredations. It's a rare treat to find a thriller (or any movie, really) built around a protagonist who's a musician.
The weaknesses lie in the film's editing. It's just a bit too languid too often. Also, the central tragedy at the center of the plot is presented in a gauzy, sentimental way, giving this dark film an almost sugary center. This central tragedy also struck me as too much like a hackneyed plot device. It just felt a bit too conventional.
But "Salton Sea" is definitely worth your time and deserves something of a cult following. I keep hearing D'Onofrio's meth-fueled pig sounds somewhere in my head. I can't make it stop. I also keep hearing the sound of the beautiful jazz trumpet that the main character plays as his home burns around him. Bravo to the whole cast and to director D.J. Caruso ("Taking Lives," "Disturbia").

- Danny Parker: For the people who don't do drugs, or just do them occasionally, it's something that becomes your life, and you belong. You finally hit bottom and you know who you are, because you can't go any lower. When you find... a friendship that you wouldn't have found anywhere else. Still and all, there's a kind of intimacy with those that can go the distance. Sometimes you see the world so clearly... and you know just what to do, and just when to do it. Just what you should've done, and when you should've done it.

is there some function in PHP that does exactly the opposite of htmlspecialchars()?
In Kev's tutorial, under chapter .. Contetn Formatting, is explained how to define custom "tags" for your cms. In the beginning he uses htmlspecialchars to get rid of those < and > etc.
But I thought it could be useful if there was a tagthat allows the writer of the article to put in some regular html, that would be parsed as regular html, and not as text.HTML Code:
But to achieve this, I need to reverse < to < etc. And therefore I want a function like htmlregularchars or so.
Does that exist?

From Barnes & NobleBookseller Reviews
Walter Payton, the man they called Sweetness, ran and ran and ran. As a National Football League back, he gained nine and a half miles (16,726 yards) in his thirteen year career. But after Payton died of liver canceron November 1st, 1999, he wasn't praised as just the greatest runner in N.F.L. history; he was lauded as a remarkable person; a man who, on the edge of death, refused to use his celebrity status to jump the line for a new liver. In fact, in the days after his demise, one heard the same words repeatedly: "He was even a better person than he was a player." Imagine. this autobiography, crafted by Don Yaeger in the last months of Payton's life, could make all but the most heartless cry. The title derives from advice his coach Bob Hill gave Payton on getting hit: "if you're going to die anyway, die hard; never die easy." But Payton didn't die easy; he died sweet.

I make this dish over pasta. Chop and saute the chicken with the veggies and pour it all over whole wheat pasta. As long as the "sauce" is increased it's really tasty!

Canes Watch
Tag: Erik Swoope
Hoops transfer drops UM, football signees arrive, NFL rookie minicamp updates, ACC baseball tourney set
- 8:56 am Monday, May 19th, 2014 by Matt Porter
First the bad news, then the good …
After keeping Miami and Oklahoma waiting a week, men's basketball transfer TaShawn Thomas made his decision. It was not in favor of the Hurricanes.
Thomas, a 6-foot-8, 240-pound junior forward who led Houston in scoring (15.4) and rebounding (8.1) last year, will transfer to the Sooners. The news was first reported by CBS Sports.
Thomas would have been a game-changer for UM, which is in need of a big man with experience and preferably scoring ability. The Canes also lost out on talented Tennessee State transfer M.J. Rhett, who chose Ole Miss over the Hurricanes.
UM [More]
Predicting where Miami Hurricanes will land in the 2014 NFL Draft
- 10:26 pm Wednesday, May 7th, 2014 by Matt Porter
Over the last three decades, no school has produced more national titles or high NFL draft picks than the University of Miami.
The Hurricanes are 10th among all college football programs with 315 draft picks, with nearly two-thirds of those (193) coming in the last 30 years. A Cane has been drafted in the first round in 22 of those years, including a stretch of 14 straight drafts which ended in 2008.
There's also this streak: UM hasn't had a first-rounder since then. There is zero chance it will on Thursday, when the NFL Draft's first round begins at 8 p.m. (ESPN, NFL Network).
Several Canes are expected to be picked as the draft continues this weekend, ensuring UM's streak of 38 years with a selection will live on. However, they may have to wait a while.
Of the nearly 20 former Canes who plan to play pro football, a couple will likely be drafted. A couple more will be scooped up by NFL teams soon after the draft ends (Rounds 2 and 3 begin Friday at 7; Rounds 4 through 7 begin at noon Saturday). The rest will try to hook on as free agents this summer, or ply their trade in another league.
Predicting where the Canes will land:
With no football experience, Hurricanes basketball player Erik Swoope to enter NFL Draft
- 1:34 pm Tuesday, April 15th, 2014 by Matt Porter
CORAL GABLES — His lack of football experience will not be a deterrent to a successful NFL career, Erik Swoope hopes.
Looking to become the next Jimmy Graham, Swoope, a 6-foot-5, 220-pound power forward on UM's basketball team, announced today on his Twitter account he will enter the NFL Draft.
ACC Tournament notes: Kirk likely done, Swoope starring, stopping Warren
- 8:52 pm Wednesday, March 12th, 2014 by Matt Porter
Note: Click here for the game story of Miami's 57-53 win over Virginia Tech.
* * *
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Donnavan Kirk's career at UM may be over.
Kirk, a 6-foot-9 graduate forward, said he will likely not play in the ACC Tournament after suffering a leg injury during a Tuesday practice.
"It's tough since it's my last time," he said. "I won't be able to come back. The only other tournament I ever played in was the Big East Tournament. I was looking forward to it, but it's all right."
Basketball notes: Can Swoope do it again? Elder, Griffin status updates
- 4:59 pm Tuesday, January 14th, 2014 by Matt Porter
Erik Swoope wasn't exactly a known offensive force.
The senior forward put up double-digit points just twice in his first 91 career games, and not exactly against the iron of UM's schedule: he did it against Pepperdine (2010) and Tennessee Tech (2011). This year, his best output was six points, against Georgia Southern.
Swoope brought a season average of 1.4 points per game into last Wednesday's game at North Carolina.

I strongly recommend the addon Panda, which allows you to see every gem you know and it's price (in gold) in one screen. It's really simple to start making gems and you can clearly see which gems are more profitable (bought for more) on the AH. It works with Auctionator and most likely works with Auctioneer aswell. Hit it up on Curse or something.

If you mean what you say, Coke Talk should have a companion reading list. What books do you read? Tell us your favorites already!
Okay. Here are some of my favorite books in no particular order:
Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens
The first book I ever read.
Matilda, Roald Dahl
The second book I ever read. J.K Rowling can't hold a candle to Roald Dahl's magic.
A Confederacy of Dunces, John Kennedy Toole
It's a shame Toole checked out early. I would have loved to read his third novel.
A Moveable Feast, Earnest Hemingway
People who think nothing happens in A Moveable Feast totally miss the fucking point. If we could all make nothing happen so beautifully, the world would be a better place.
The Road to Los Angeles, John Fante
I'm a sucker for all of Arturo Bandini's adventures, but this one is my favorite.
Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov
Veronika Decides to Die, Paulo Cuehlo
Sure, I love The Alchemist too, but I consider it one of his lesser works.
Play It as It Lays, Joan Didion
Ventilated yet dense, Joan Didion will always have a special place in my heart.
Lithium for Medea, Kate Braverman
Heartbreakingly beautiful.
Women, Charles Bukowski
Oh, Chinaski. I fucking love you.
The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera
I've read this dozens of times, and with each turn I always find something new.
American Psycho, Brett Easton Ellis
Brett Easton Ellis is the Tom Ford of modern literature.
The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand
I give Rand a ton of shit, but Howard Roark is an important character.
The Idiot, Fyodor Dostoyevsky
It took me a while to read this one, but every hour was worth it.
Le Petit Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
It's technically a novella, but whatever. I love this little book.
The Great Shark Hunt, Hunter S. Thompson
Gonzo is a way of life.
A People's History of the United States, Howard Zinn
This ten pounder taught me more than every American history class combined.
The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald
Californication made a noble attempt in season two, but I'm still waiting for this to be made into a movie that doesn't totally fucking suck.
The Art of War, Sun Tzu
You want me to sum up Sun Tzu in a single word? Strategery.
Cat's Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut
I practice boku-maru regularly.
Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov
Part of what makes Skins feel so authentic (when it succeeds) is, obviously, the one-character episode format. We see them not only in their private lives but we see them literally alone. No other show spends that much time alone with kids in their rooms — the part we don't even see of our friends' lives — of anyone's lives. We see, sometimes excessively, how they feel about sex — Mini trying the positions she sees in magazines to be ready for her first time with Nick, Sid jerking off to shitty magazines or a picture of Michelle or Alo with his multi-screen porn-viewing set-up. We see their crazy families and the things they don't tell their friends — like there's so much on both ends when you're a teenager, so much family to hide from your friends and so much friends to hide from your family and so much heart and sex to hide from everyone.
And then we see them in the context of everyone else's world, and it's really hard to dislike a person once you know where they're coming from."—http://www.autostraddle.com/franky-likes-people-a-pansexual-ending-to-a-very-queer-week-80412/ (via likefirehellfire)
They want to change Pi to exactly 3.
To improve test scores.
I don't think I've ever wanted something to be an Onion article more in my life
Jesus fucking christ
what Josh said oh my god
can we just change all maths to 3??? PLEASE
Oh dear lord, this is real
LOL. Guys, this is in the Entertainment - Comedy section. It isn't real.
"Christmas was coming. One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts woke to find itself covered in several feet of snow. The lake froze solid and the Weasley twins were punished for bewitching several snowballs so that they followed Quirrell around, bouncing off the back of his turban." - SS/PS, CH. 12
Oh my god, this is funnier than it should be.
lol oh god I never realized that
HAH! JK Rowling, I love you for these special moments <3
FOR FREE. Thank you, DC++!
(These authors are all dead so I don't feel guilty.)
I'm a little afraid because I'm not sure I'm fiscally responsible enough… and it would be just like me to go into debt/develop a bad credit score because of buying freaking books.

This offseason has been host to many injuries, some season ending, as well as just some with long timetables for return. We have seen players like Chris Culliver of the 49ers tear his ACL, and Percy Harvin, who underwent hip surgery and isn't expected to come back until at least week 12. Some injuries aren't as bad as others, but nonetheless, we have seen plenty already.
Cortez Allen can now be added to the list of players that have had procedures this offseason to fix an injury. The Pittsburgh Steelers have said that the cornerback underwent "minor surgery" today.
Allen, a first year starter who was slated to replace Keenan Lewis, who the team lost in free agency, will now have to wait a little longer to start for the team.
Here's coach Mike Tomlin's take on the cornerback's surgery,
We wanted him to get the surgery done now so he can begin rehabilitating immediately. This surgery was a minor procedure and will have no long-term effects on his return to the field.
He could be back in a couple of weeks, or maybe even later depending on how his recovery goes, it's just too soon to tell. If you were to look at the next game he could play in, it would probably be in a few weeks on August 19 against the Washington Redskins, barring any setbacks of course.

Tesla is good at making two things: Luxury electric vehicles and grandiose claims. Unfortunately, it has a better track record of backing up the former than the latter, as a lengthy peeing match between Tesla's Elon Musk and the New York Times fully demonstrated: It turned out it was a little too quick to bash the Times when there were a few flaws with the Tesla Model S the company wasn't entirely forthcoming about. So Tesla's claim about the battery pack would be awesome, except for one small problem.
That being, if you watch the entire "demonstration" Tesla staged, we never see anybody at Tesla actually change the battery pack. We just see a power indicator flip over. This is especially egregious because the entire event is literally designed not to show you the guy changing the battery pack; the car blocks the audience and the cameraman behind the car never looks at the guy switching the pack. For all we know, he's checking his text messages back there.
Don't get us wrong, it's a neat idea, if a shockingly overpriced one at $60 for a battery swap. But unfortunately, Tesla tends to treat the best-case scenario as the only scenario. The company's tendency to freak out over bad reviews and refusal to acknowledge that, hey, maybe building a luxury vehicle on relentlessly advancing technology is actually really tricky and that there may be a bug or two doesn't help, either. We're sure the swaps are fast and smooth in theory, but no theory about a product survives arriving to market.
Battery swap is a great idea and will likely help the Model S, a great car, sell more vehicles and see a wider acceptance in general. That said, though, until we see the pack actually being swapped, we'd budget a bit more time than Tesla thinks is necessary.

The setup:
I have an Ubuntu Karmic machine hosting an Apache webserver. Being security minded, I decided to set up SSL to protect user logins. Works fine. I am using an external IBM Tivoli Directory Server (ITDS) for authentication. It is an LDAP server so everything works out of the box. That is until I tried to do LDAPS. See, when you log into apache, it sends a request of to LDAP. If you don't use LDAPS, it is in clear text. That is a big no no.
Here is my rough config:
LDAPTrustedGlobalCert CA_DER /etc/ssl/example.com.pem
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName wingfont
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
SSLEngine on
SSLOptions +StrictRequire
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/wingfont.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/wingfont.key
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
LogLevel debug
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
LDAPTrustedClientCert CERT_BASE64 /etc/ssl/example.com.pem
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNPath /srv/svn/wwptsng
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Example.com"
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on
AuthLDAPURL ldaps://example.com/,o=example.com?mail?sub?(objectClass=ePerson)
require valid-user
The issue:
Apache's error log has this.
[Thu Apr 15 12:26:10 2010] [debug] ssl_engine_io.c(1892): OpenSSL: I/O error, 5 bytes expected to read on BIO#21604778 [mem: 216250c0]

TLS: can't connect: (unknown error code).

The story:
Google was very little help, hence this blog post.
Way back in the ancient time, Debian was king. Ubuntu is a step child, and has inherited lots Debian's awesomeness. Debian folks will tell you that they adhere to open source licenses in the strictest sense of the word. LIBSSL has a non GPL compatible license. Debian and Ubuntu normally do not compile and link against it. The use GNU LTS instead. Which is fine. But for some reason there is a bug with GNU TLS and certain SSL cert chains. I have tested this against a number of ITDS servers and they all fail.
The fix:
Replace GNU TLS with libssl for the openldap libraries.
sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot dpkg-dev
sudo apt-get build-dep libldap-2.4-2
cd ~/
mkdir libldap
cd libldap/
sudo apt-get source libldap-2.4-2
sudo dpkg-source -x openldap_2.4.21-0ubuntu4.dsc
cd openldap-2.4.21/
cp debian/configure.options debian/configure.options.orig
sed 's/tls=gnutls/tls=openssl/g' debian/configure.options.orig > debian/configure.options
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="–with-tls=openssl" fakeroot debian/rules binary
Go grab a nice glass of Blanton's whiskey, this might be a while.
Once the compile and tests are all done, install the new debs.
dpkg – i ldap-utils_2.4.21-0ubuntu4_i386.deb libldap-2.4-2_2.4.21-0ubuntu4_i386.deb slapd_2.4.21-0ubuntu4_i386.deb

Over the years, some of my favorite Georgia Bulldog moments have involved outings with my kids.
Their enthusiasm and delight at simple things like petting Uga, meeting Hairy Dawg or seeing a favorite player up close brings me back in touch with the early days of my own Bulldogmania growing up in Athens, before I'd ever even heard of point spreads, recruiting rankings and such things.
One of my son's prized possessions is a photo of him posing with Hines Ward on the turf at Sanford Stadium during a pre-scrimmage August fan session that the Athens Touchdown Club used to host back when my Dad was a member. We went to a number of those during the Ray Goff and Jim Donnan years and my son posed with and got autographs from quite a few players as well as getting to pet Uga. Another time, at the annual Picture Day, young Bill's uncles had fun trying to coax him into having his picture taken with a group of pretty cheerleaders.
I remember at one Touchdown Club session, held outside Butts-Mehre instead of the stadium, a young fan approaching the incoming freshman tailback and asking him if he was going to win a Heisman. "Well," Garrison Hearst said with a smile, "I'm gonna try."
Seeing the players and coaches up close and getting to meet them gives you a different perspective once you're watching them on the field. And sometimes a little insight, as at the 1995 meet-and-greet, when the normally affable Ray Goff game off as surly and impatient. "I think he's feeling the pressure," I told one of my brothers. That wound up being the last of those sessions for Goff. The next year, we had Donnan, who gave the impression he wished he was somewhere (anywhere) else. That proved illuminating, too.
Nowadays, probably the best opportunity for letting your kids meet the current players, as well as Bulldog greats from the recent and distant past, is the annual Countdown to Kickoff organized by Matt and Jon Stinchcomb and David Greene and held at the Woodruff Practice Fields. The 2009 edition of the charity event is scheduled for 3 to 6 p.m. this Saturday.
For the kids, there are games (some led by UGA players), face painting, mock training camp drills and the Redcoat Band and cheerleaders, as well the chance to get in line for photos and autographs. I took my daughter to the first Countdown to Kickoff back in 2006, and I asked her recently what her favorite memory of it was. "Getting my picture taken with Uga VI," she said. She did have to wait a little while for that, but nowhere near as long as at the more structured (and limited) Picture Day held during August drills.
Best of all, Countdown to Kickoff benefits Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and the Georgia Transplant Foundation, as well as the Children's Tumor Foundation, the University of Georgia College of Education and UGA's Pediatric Exercise and Motor Development Clinic.
I talked with Matt Stinchcomb about this year's event back in May, and what he was most excited about was having Jeff Owens and some of the other players interacting with the kids in attendance. "The past couple of years, Jeff Owens, who's a special guy, and some of the other players haven't just signed autographs, they've actually played with the kids for three hours, with them following Jeff around like the Pied Piper," Matt told me. "So this year we're going to give Jeff a chunk of field where he and the other players can do stuff with the young kids. We've gotten input from Jeff and the players on what they want to do, like playing flag football with the kids. Whatever Jeff wants to do."
Tickets are $25 each for the Saturday event, or you can get a Family Pack for $75, which includes four tickets and a special pennant for player autographs. You can place your order online and either print your tickets out at home or pick them up at "will call" at the Stegeman Coliseum ticket window on Saturday.
"It's a fun event and it supports some very worthy and needed healthcare philanthropies," Matt says. Plus it gives the current Dogs a chance to interact with some of the guys who played at UGA before them and it gives fans "a chance to meet the person, not just the athlete."
It's also a great chance to make some wonderful memories with the little Bulldogs in your family.

I know one of my son's most cherished memories from the 2008 Bulldawgs season is June 27 the night he spent a jail cell with offensive linemen Trinton Sturdivant and Justin Anderson. Talk about access all you need to do is get arrested in Athens and odds are you'll get to spend some time with a real bulldog player. NOW THAT'S BULLDOGMANIA.

My daughter and I go to eat at the same restaurant with the UGA cheerleaders every Friday night before the USC east game. They come to Augusta for the "Border Bash" (registered trademark) party. She gets her picture taken with the cheerleaders and since she is confined to her wheelchair, we cannot attend the party. Just like a night game in Athens, 20,000 people with at least 10% out of control. The cheerleaders make a big deal of Baylie and she and I really enjoy it. My red hat is off to the cheerleading squad. They help us make our own Bulldog memories.

Bill, I have not seen you respond to comments. I at least hope you read them. I do not always agree with you. However, I am from a true Dawg family, in that my Mom, Dad, brothers, cousins, uncle, and I all are UGA alums. I have been going to games since I was 5. I really appreciate your memories and insight, as I think any true Dawg fan would. Keep up the great work. And, to all you Tech Nerds out there – GET A LIFE!

Going over to see the new stadium additions prior to the 1981 season and finding a group of UGA players in uniform for a photo session with Sport Illustrated. Between shoots, Herschel, Woerner, Hoage and Belue graciously posed for pictures with the few of us who stumbled across the photo session. Great to meet and talk to these guys "offline" and realize they were just young college kids enjoying their successes.

On Ventoux
This quote today on Inner Ring from the new book "Velo" by Paul Fournel was so good I went and bought the book at lunch time;
The Ventoux has no it-self. It's the greatest revelation of yourself. It simply returns your fatigue and fear. It has total knowledge of the shape you are in, your capacity for cycling happiness, and happiness in general. It's yourself you're climbing. If you don't want to know, stay at the bottom.
Of all the famous Tour de France climbs this is the only one I've seen, albeit from the top of the ramparts in Arles, but I long for the day I cycle up it's hallowed road, to pay my respects to the Tommy Simpson memorial, plus there is the bonus of family bragging rights, apparently my cousin Paul has cycled up it in 90 mins, he's nearly ten years older than me so I've got to beat that time.

Brokerage fee
I just got my second delivery of my book. Blurb listed the value as $25 and I was charged a brokerage fee of $21.27 by the UPS driver. That is rediculous. On my previous order last month, I was not charged at all. I got nowhere calling UPS as they claimed it had nothing to do with them. What is the status of the class action suit and can people from Ontario join the BC action?
Has anyone from Canada ordered and had delivery to a border US city and picked up the books? Alan
