Remember what Oprah said, everyone. "No is a complete sentence."

people treating this like an isolated incident perpetrated by a crazy kid are making me sick. there are forums and entire websites for men to rant about how unfair it is that women have rejected them. maren sanchez was stabbed in the throat for rejecting a prom invitation. seven…
First off, you can be using three forms of protection, and still have an unplanned pregnancy. Birth control is not flawless. It helps, of course, but no matter how responsible someone is being, they can find themselves with an unwanted pregnancy.
"Well if you choose to have sex you have to be responsible for and accept the possibility you might get pregnant and have a baby. You shouldn't have sex if you don't want a child!"
Whether someone gets pregnant when theyre on three forms of birth control or gets pregnant from completely unprotected sex, repeat after me:
Children are not a punishment for sex.
Children are not a punishment for sex.
Pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting are not punishments for sex!!!
We don't deny smokers cancer treatment because they accepted the risk by smoking, we don't deny people who got in car accidents medical attention because they took the risk by driving, hell, we don't even deny criminals who shoot others, and OD on drugs medical attention, so we sure as hell can't deny a pregnant person medical attention because they took the risk by having sex.
Adoption is a great option, but it only solves the problem of not wanting/being able to parent a child. Not the problem of being pregnant.
Pro-lifers seem to forget that pregnancy and childbirth itself, even if adoption follows, can ruin a person's life, and is extremely transformative, be it in a positive or negative way. You are never going to be the same once going through that. It changes your body, your hormones, your emotions. Many people experience crippling sickness and complications, causing them to lose their job, lose their home, have to drop out of school, etcetera. Prenatal care is not cheap. Mothers who fall pregnant may struggle to feed their already living breathing feeling children and lower their quality of life if forced to carry a fetus they don't have the means to provide for or deal with.
And it all comes down to the fact that people cannot and should not be made to sacrifice their bodies for a pregnancy they do not want, for whatever reason they do not want or can not have it. We have an awesome thing called bodily autonomy. Meaning nobody can use our bodies without our consent. Even when we are DEAD. If you and I got in a car crash, and I died, and you desperately needed one of my organs to survive, you STILL couldn't take that organ, even though it is of no use to me, to save your own life, unless I had consented when I was alive to be an organ donor. Therefore, claiming that a fetus has a right to use a pregnant person's body for 9-10 months, has the right to take over all the pregnant person's organs and body chemistry, has the right to change their body forever, not only does it give a fetus more rights than anyone else in the world, it also gives the pregnant person less rights than a dead body.
There is also a major flaw in your argument, which is "Except in cases of rape," because in that statement, you are proving that it really isn't about the fetus. If you truly believed that fetuses had rights, were sentient souls deserving of a chance at being born, it wouldn't matter whether they were conceived through rape or not, would it? Fetuses that result from rape and fetuses that result from loving relationships are biologically the same, so why does one deserve rights in your opinion, and the other not? Perhaps you have internalized misogyny which causes you to believe that females deserve to be punished with unwanted pregnancies because they had sex.
I am pro-choice because I am pro-pregnant person. I am on the side of the living, breathing, loving, crying, feeling, struggling people who find themselves carrying a pregnancy when it is not convenient, and I am pro-giving them the option to protect themselves, their jobs, their goals, their bodies, and their pre-existing families, by supporting their access to a safe and legal abortion with no judgement.
this is the most properly worded rebuttal to this argument i have ever seen.
seriously, if you don't understand why being pro-choice is so important after reading that, there is no hope.

Mexico finds fire-god figure at top of Pyramid of the Suntags: archaeology, Mexico, Teotihuacan, Mexico City
Did the rulers of the ancient city of Teotihuacan dedicate their largest pyramid to the god of fire, the so-called old god with a signature beard and fire atop his head?
Mexican archaeologists announced this week that a figure of the god, called Huehueteotl, was found in a covered pit at the apex of the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan, a popular archaeological site north of Mexico City.

PM: Israel ready to defend against another Holocaust
PM Netanyahu at Holocaust Exhibition, Poland 370.
(photo credit: קובי גדעון / לע"מ)
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu visited Auschwitz on Thursday, saying one of
the key lessons the Jews took from the Holocaust was not to expect "others to do
the work for us.""The leaders of the Allies knew about the Holocaust in
real time," Netanyahu said at the opening of a permanent exhibit called "Shoah"
in Block 27 at the Auschwitz- Birkenau State Museum."They understood
exactly what was happening in the death camps. They were asked to act, they
could have acted, and they did not."To us Jews the lesson is clear: We
must not be complacent in the face of threats of annihilation. We must not bury
our heads in the sand or allow others to do the work for us. We will never be
helpless again."Netanyahu, who in the past has drawn parallels between
Iran's nuclear march and call for the destruction of Israel, and the Nazi
intention to wipe out the Jews, said, "Even today we hear threats of the
destruction of the Jewish people, and the world behaves as usual."From
here, Auschwitz- Birkenau, the place that attests to the desire to destroy our
people, I – the prime minister of Israel, the state of the Jewish people – say
to all the nations of the world: The State of Israel will do whatever is
necessary to prevent another Holocaust. Even today there is someone who declares
his intention to destroy millions of Jews and wipe their state off the
map."Netanyahu said the difference between then and now was that today,
"we have an independent state and a strong army, which allows us to protect our
people and to stop this criminal intent."He disputed the notion that the
world's attitude toward the Jews has changed since the Holocaust."What
has really changed?" he asked. "The hatred of Jews changes form, but it remains
– if not [based on] racial superiority, then [on] religious
superiority. And the world's apathy toward this hatred remains the
same."Netanyahu said the world has swiftly become accustomed again to
those declaring that they want to destroy millions of Jews. Likewise, he said,
"the indecision of the enlightened countries regarding whether to act against
extreme regimes that threaten us and the peace of the world is also something
that has not changed."The only thing that has changed, he continued, "is
our ability and determination to act to defend ourselves and prevent another
Holocaust."The prime minister's visit to the site came on the final day
of his two-day visit to Poland. On Wednesday, he, along with five other cabinet
ministers, met their Polish counterparts in the second government-to-government
meeting between the two countries. The delegation returned to Israel on Thursday
night.The exhibition that Netanyahu opened was designed and built by Yad
Vashem, in coordination with the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum. According to
Yad Vashem, the previous exhibition, dating back to the communist era, was
outdated both in content and in display methods, and most visitors to the site
bypassed it.Following prime minister Ariel Sharon's visit there in 2005
as part of the March of the Living, the government charged Yad Vashem with
renovating the exhibition.Funding for the NIS 30 million project came
from both the government and the Claims Conference.The
1,000-square-meter exhibition in the two-floor block consists of several spaces,
each dedicated to an element of the Holocaust, including one devoted to the 1.5
million Jewish children who were killed. The exhibition also includes a 2- meter
high Book of Names that lists the names, compiled by Yad Vashem, of 4.2 million
Jews murdered by the Nazis. The book includes empty pages at the end, leaving
room for additional names as Yad Vashem continues collecting the names of

Mark Jackson explains ties to alleged drug kingpin
Sep 2, 2011, 10:02 AM EDT
Warren Braithwaite was arrested in Arizona last month, accused by the DEA of heading an international drug-smugling ring. That sent shockwaves through some circles as Braithwaite was friend of people such as Jamie Foxx and Lady Gaga, among many other celebrities. You can put new Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson in that group, too.…

High Court not to further probe West Bank protester's death
Palestinian protesters hurl stones towards IDF troops during clashes at a protest against the Israeli offensive in Gaza, in the West Bank City of Hebron August 9, 2014..
(photo credit:REUTERS)
The High Court of Justice on Thursday rejected a Yesh Din petition to compel the IDF to reopen the issue of investigating the death of Jawaher Abu Rahmah, who died on January 1, 2011 in disputed circumstances following a Bil'in protest against the West Bank wall.Jawaher's brother Bassam Abu Rahmah was killed by an IDF gas canister in 2009, but the case was closed for lack of evidence and her brother Ashraf Abu Rahmah was shot in the leg during a separate incident in July 2008 leading the High Court to demand that the IDF try the soldier who shot him.Yesh Din had argued, among other things, that the case needed a full investigation as the decision not to open a full investigation was based solely on a non-legal operational investigation, which the state's own Second Report of the Turkel Commission has rejected as a way to operate.In other words, Yesh Din said that the state's decision rested on an old policy which has been declared flawed.The High Court said that, without a formal investigation of the death said to be caused by tear-gas inhalation, the state's review of its own decision was serious enough that it would not intervene.Yesh Din's Michael Sfard indirectly implied that the state's decision and the High Court's support would put Israel in further danger in the upcoming major legal battles over whether Israel can sufficiently investigate alleged war crimes or whether the International Criminal Court may get involved.

Man robs, stabs woman outside her home
Updated On: Nov 10 2012 05:37:50 PM CST
A woman was beaten, robbed and stabbed in the abdomen moments after she went outside her home to smoke a cigarette, police said.
Police are trying to track down the robber after the incident that happened at around 8:45 p.m. Friday in the area of South Main and West Evergreen streets in Nazareth, Northampton County.
The woman was smoking a cigarette when she was approached by a man who was wearing a hoodie, police said.
The man tried to strike up a conversation with the woman and at one point asked for a beer, police said.
According to police, a struggle ensued and the woman handed the attacker some money.
The man didn't think it was enough money, and he started punching her before stabbing her in the abdomen, officials said.
He fled the scene after she started screaming for help, police said.
The victim's husband and children were in the home during the stabbing, police said.
The woman was taken to the hospital and released.
Officials said it was a random attack.
The attacker is about 5-foot-4 and is about 18 to 20 years old, officials said.
Anybody with information is asked to call Nazareth police at (610) 759-9575 or (610) 759-2200.

Title: Live oak sprouts in lawn and flower beds
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I have several live oak trees that keep putting up sprouts in my lawn and flower beds. Is there any way to prevent this ?
In Wimberly, you most likely have either Quercus fusiformis (plateau oak) or Quercus virginiana (live oak) growing in your yard. If you read the webpages on these live oaks you will note they both recommend reproduction from freshly fallen acorns.
So, here are two possibilities for the origin of those sprouts. One is that they are sprouting from acorns dropped from the trees, possibly washed into flower beds or some other location by rainwater, etc. In that event, picking up every acorn when they are dropped will certainly prevent them from sprouting. It will also possibly cripple your back, but you can try raking them into piles and scooping them up. The other way oak trees sprout is by sprouting from roots. This is how mottes of live oaks form in the wild. If you have lawn grasses that you mow, that should keep the sprouts down, at least during mowing season. However, the most effective prevention is to cut off that sprout two to four inches below the soil level. Do not attempt to use any herbicide on these sprouts, as that could damage your existing tree.
All the sprouts not prevented by the first two suggestions are, sorry, going to have to be pulled out of the ground. If you get to them early enough, they're fairly easy to get out, but they do have a long taproot and definitely resist being pulled.

Linux.conf.au 2010 kicks off in New Zealand
Rodney Gedda
For the second time in its 11 year history, Linux Australia's annual Linux technical conference – Linux.conf.au, or simply "LCA" – has headed across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand. The conference is in windy Wellington this week. See the Web site (http://www.lca2010.org.nz) for more details.
LCA is one of the little treasures of the Australian technology calendar. It's not a big-budget IT conference like CeBit or Tech.Ed, but it consistently attracts the biggest names in Linux and open source from all around the world.
Linus Torvalds himself is known to attend – and was in Hobart for the first time last year – and multinational software companies like Google use LCA as a hunting ground for fresh talent.
Even if you're not into Linux, I recommend getting along to a LCA to experience a well-organised community conference. Every year there is an open day (usually the last Saturday) where the public can attend free of charge and meet the organizers and community members.
I've had the pleasure of attending most LCAs since the first one in Sydney in 2001. [Note: the first Australian Linux conference was dubbed CALU (Conference of Australian Linux Users) and held in Melbourne in 1999. The modern Linux.conf.au format started in Sydney in 2001]
Unfortunately a combination of bad planning and work commitments has kept me away from this year's event, but I intend to write some articles remotely.
You can also catch Computerworld's coverage by following the linux.conf.au tag.
Best of luck to the Kiwis this year, I hope all goes well. I hope they announce where LCA 2011 will be held at the end of the event.

Dutch government unveils measures aimed to clamp down on Muslim radicalization
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte speaks at a press conference in The Hague, Netherlands, Thursday July 24, 2014. (AP / Mike Corder)
The Associated Press
Published Friday, August 29, 2014 11:01AM EDT
Last Updated Friday, August 29, 2014 2:01PM EDT
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands -- The Dutch government unveiled a package of measures Friday aimed at countering radicalization of Muslims in the country, a day after police announced the arrest of two men suspected of recruiting people to fight in conflicts in Syria and Iraq.
The proposals include beefing up the government's powers to strip people of their Dutch nationality if they join terrorist organizations overseas or play a role -- as teacher or student -- in foreign terror training camps.
They also are aimed at countering the spread of extremism online and via social media by tackling Internet providers that knowingly allow terror organizations to spread jihadi propaganda.
"In the Netherlands, there is no room for spreading hate or extremism," Prime Minister Mark Rutte's government said in a statement.
Justice and Security Minister Ivo Opstelten said about 130 Dutch citizens have already travelled to the Middle East to fight with militants group like Islamic State and al-Qaida and more than 30 have already returned. The Dutch and other governments around Europe say such returning jihadis -- radicalized, hardened by brutal conflict and trained to kill -- pose a significant risk to society.
The British government raised its terror threat level from substantial to severe Friday, meaning that a terrorist attack is considered highly likely.
Home Secretary Theresa May said the decision was related to developments in Iraq and Syria, but that there was no information to suggest an attack was imminent. Some of the plots are likely to involve fighters who have travelled from Britain and Europe to take part in fighting in the Middle East.
In The Hague, Opstelten stressed that radical Muslims in the Netherlands form a "small but dangerous" minority in the Muslim population.
There are around 1 million Muslims in the overall Dutch population of 17 million.
Opstelten said local authorities will work with moderate Muslims to tackle the spread of radicalization.
Outspoken anti-Islam lawmaker Geert Wilders said the government measures didn't go far enough. He called them a weak and "politically correct" response.

Teens will be teens. This incident seems to center around the fact that the teens
were not properly chaperoned. The Bus drivers have enough on their plate keeping
their passengers safe as they drive on our highways.
Response to BeauAndWendy07 posted at 7:17 pm on Sun, Apr 6, 2014:
Well, no one had been commenting nor "judging" the teens. But, since you mentioned it, I think we all ought to consider that the teens involved very likley bear some responsibility in this incident.
I would imagine that at least one or two teens said something like, "This isn't right. We will get in trouble." Then again, all it takes is another 2 or 3 teens to make the bad decision to accept the drinks, then all things deteriorate thereafter.
So, sure, when a teen does this kind of thing, to judge them and admonish them won't do much good. They're way too old for that. But, I do think that this experience may have led many of them to believe that in life we are in a "fishbowl". From now on I think they'll know that a group of youngsters on a charterbus is under the eyes of many. Sounds like some bad decisions were made all around.
This bus was not a district bus. The bus was paid for by the students parents that were on the bus. How do I know this to be a fact, because my children attend school in the district that these students are from as well as my son who is a senior attended this prom last night. There were several groups that rented limos and party buses. My son was in one of those groups. Yes poor choices were made by these students but how many of us made the same choice your senior prom? Don't judge these kids unless you really know them because they are all great kids.
Yes, sir, Meester Ponce. Good thing I didn't enter journalist school or I would have only have had job prospects for FOX News, given that I cloud "inference" with "assumption", LOL.
Did you see my entry under the story regarding the church organist who wants to preserve the traditional hymns?
The Lord will forgive but remember there is a difference between an inference and an assumption. That is something taught in Texas public school junior high. I will remind you of this in the future should you require remediation.

Response to TJ Aulds posted at 2:46 pm on Sun, Apr 6, 2014:
Thanks for the clarification. I'm sure it's realized that there's a lot of us who don't have highschool-age kids, and thus are not aware of the "ins and outs" of how highschool students are transported to events like proms.
Now, ponce!....I made no predictions this time, merely asked questions. Will the good Lord forgive me? :)
The bus was a private charter. Not a school-service.
sverige, unless you have inside information not found in the text of the story, why do you assume a school chartered the bus that hired the driver? At proms, some parents usually hire a limo service to ferry their kids and the school has nothing to do with whom the parents hire. When I read the story I envisioned a group of parents hiring a "party bus" to ferry their kids. Another assumption is that it is a school district. Maybe it was a "private or parochial" high school. A n awful lot of assumptions here. Then again maybe you're right if you got that crack in your crystal ball fixed. If such is the case, I beg your forgiveness.
Well, now I realize that it was a Friday night to Saturday morning ordeal. My question still remains: Weren't they working on this all week and could have the time to advise the district to hire a driver who is not currently under investigation?
Kind of interesting that proms are already starting in April. Oh well, it's good to get that out of the way so the seniors can focus on their final exams and such.
My inquiry is simply about the "timing" of this arrest process: Now, what I want to know is was it coincidence that the investigators gathered all their information to make the arrest at the very time of the prom, and it's impending time frame to drive the youngsters back to school or their home destinations?
Wasn't the investigating team working on this throughout this week and perhaps during the day Saturday? And in doing so, did they have a suspicion that this driver was to potentially be arrested? You'd think the authorities would have contacted the school district to say, "Look, y'all need to hire another driver since the one you hired is currently under investigation." Sounds like a lot of uneeded drama, and insertion of angst for the parents of these students throughout this nighttime ordeal. I suppose these youngsters have a story to tell their grandchildren years from now.
Not in Kemah.
Why was the bus driver arrested? Even if charges haven't been filed, they have to have a cause to arrest.......

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Just Watch
by Paul on 09/24/06 at 11:23 AM ET
Comments (0)
Have you ever tried to hold your tongue about something and the strain of keeping your thoughts to yourself was almost too much to bear? That's how I feel about the NHL around this time of year. You can't say a word, because the perpetual rebuttal will always be, "it's just the preseason." You may as well banish any verbal thoughts or writing implements, and replace them with the contents of Marcel Marceau's makeup drawer. Say nothing, do nothing. Just observe. Why can't I have an opinion on a player's performance in the pre-season? Why am I constantly subjected to the incessant claims that nothing of significance is taking place? If that were the case, wouldn't the pre-season cease to exist?continued

[This is a re-post of my review from the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. Laggies opens today in limited release.] There is certain kind of movie that I would describe as a "Sundance Comedy". They're technically indie films even though they feature movie stars, and they're almost always fairly tame. They're cute at best and forgettable at worst, and Lynn Shelton's Laggies has the distinction of being both. What begins as a moderately interesting coming-of-age tale eventually devolves into something so light and airy that it's on the verge of floating away, especially when the characters' implausible actions do nothing to keep the story grounded. Megan (Keira Knightley) and her high school friends are still best buds ten years after graduating, but Megan feels like she's started to drift away from them and her high school sweetheart, Anthony (Mark Webber). Their friends are getting married and having kids, and Megan is still trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life. »

We All Float Down Here: Shelton's Latest Winning Slice of Arrested Development
Remarkable in the sense that this is her third consecutive film to premiere at Sundance, director Lynn Shelton is one of the few female directors bucking the general trend of having laborious stretches of times between features. Her latest, Laggies, is her first directorial outing where Shelton has not also written the screenplay (Andrea Siegel gets her first credit instead), which divorces the film from a body of work largely improvised and often careening off the cuff to mostly enjoyable effect. While this makes her latest film feel a bit more mainstream, featuring an array of well-known names, it's also a nicely polished example of familiarity, genuine with its intentions and generally pleasing even as it neglects to say anything we haven't seen repeatedly from both a male and female perspective.

It's been a busy fall for young actress Kaitlyn Dever, who appears in Lynn Shelton's Laggies, out Friday, and stars in Jason Reitman's Men, Women & Children. Dever proved her formidable acting chops in last year's Short Term 12 playing an abused teen in a foster-care facility—look no further than the scene in which she reads a children's story her character wrote about an octopus. In the scene, Dever let's her character's disconnected, tough façade slip away. Her performance in that movie and The Spectacular Now got her labeled the "Summer's Indie It Flick Queen" by Teen Vogue. »

The film landscape is filled with movies about people struggling with the idea of growing up, acting responsible and accepting that they're an adult, and roughly all of these films feature a man-child as their protagonist. What Lynn Shelton's new film Laggies presupposes is… what if one of them was a woman? Megan (Keira Knightley) has been watching from the sidelines as friends get married and start careers and families, but while she's a bit young for a mid-life crisis that doesn't stop her from losing her emotional footing when her boyfriend proposes out of the blue. The issue is compounded further when she sees her dad getting a handy from a woman who is most definitely not Megan's mother, and in shock and disbelief Megan immediately hops in the car and heads out into the night. She meets a teenager named Annika (Chloe Grace Moretz) out front of a Grocery Outlet »

Few writer/directors are as good at capturing an adult's arrested development on film as Lynn Shelton. In her improv-heavy early efforts, such as Humpday and Your Sister's Sister, she dealt with grown-ups behaving like children. That theme is also present in her latest comedy-drama, Laggies, which debuted at Sundance and more recently, at the Toronto International Film Festival (Tiff).
Shelton's movies have always been heavy on improvisation (Humpday, for instance, began with a ten-page outline with no dialogue. The final draft was written in the editing room), but with Laggies, she worked with a witty pre-written script from Andrea Seigel. Laggies also marks a departure for the filmmaker in the sense that it had her biggest budget yet as well as an A-list cast, which includes Keira Knightley, Chloë Grace Moretz and Sam Rockwell.

Last year, RADiUS scored at the box office and in Awards Season with its documentary 20 Feet From Stardom (nearly $4.95 million and Best Documentary Feature Oscar win). This year, it may have another non-fiction awards behemoth, hitting theaters this weekend.
Citizenfour, directed by journalist and filmmaker Laura Poitras, tells the story of Nsa leaker Edward Snowden as he disclosed massive domestic U.S. government spying. The film unfolds in real time as Poitras and Guardian colleague Glenn Greenwald, working on a long-term project about government surveillance, were contacted online by a mysterious source calling himself "Citizenfour." The film, completed in secret while Poitras was in self-imposed virtual exile, alleges even more Nsa overreaching at home and abroad than just what came out of the massive pile of U.S. documents Snowden leaked.

Keanu Reeves, once one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, will be competing against a board game thriller this weekend as John Wick opens against Ouija. In this case, it looks like the teen screamers might have the edge despite the overall stellar reviews for Reeves' revenge pic—the latest R-rated film to hit a particularly crowded market. St. Vincent also expands nationwide after playing for two weeks in limited release, but its unlikely to crack the top five. Here's how things might play out: 1.

Keira Knightly can't help it, really, but she doesn't quite come across like "one of us." Which is why it's such a treat to see her in Laggies, Lynn Shelton's latest comedy about adults failing miserably at adulthood. Brandishing a decent American accent, the willowy Brit plays a woman adrift in her late 20s who takes a weeklong break from her life to live with a high-school girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) she met while buying her alcohol and her divorcée lawyer dad (Sam Rockwell at his funny, sexy best). It may well be Knightley's most relatable performance since Bend It Like Beckham. Vulture caught up with her at the Toronto Film Festival, where she was also promoting her role as pioneering Wwi math genius and WWII code-breaker Joan Clarke, opposite Benedict Cumberbatch's Alan Turing, in the historical thriller The Imitation Game, which has her »

Filmmaker Lynn Shelton didn't direct her first film until after she'd turned 40, but she's been plenty active since her 2006 debut, "We Go Way Back." In addition to helming episodes of television shows like "Mad Men" and "New Girl," she's directed six films. Her latest, "Laggies," comes out in wide release this week after a successful showing at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. "Laggies" follows Meg (Keira Knightley), a woman in her 20s who runs away when her boyfriend (Mark Webber) proposes at her friend's (Ellie Kemper) wedding. She ends up bunking with a high schooler (Chloe Grace Moretz) and her single father (Sam Rockwell) as she tries to figure out what to do with her life. The film made sense for Shelton, who said she knows a thing or two about "long, circuitous" routes leading to her calling in life.

Female friendships are a thing of beauty. Robust, complicated, endearing, intense, and any other adjective you can think of. Sure, a lot of movies revolve around girlfriends talking about men and the various heartaches, hardships, and passionate feelings menfolk bring, but it's those movies that feature genuine relationships that pass the Bechdel test that we love the best. The test is simple, really: Have a movie with at least two female characters who talk to one another about something other than man. Surprisingly – or perhaps not – many mainstream films fail this simple test. For those that do pass with flying colours, they're likely to end up on our list of the top 10 movies that deal with female friendships in its many forms.

When you think of Sam Rockwell, the word "subdued" isn't necessarily the first thing to come to mind. Manic maybe, or hyper. An unexpectedly good dancer. But seeing him play a world-weary single dad in the upcoming romantic comedy "Laggies" opposite Keira Knightley feels like a bit of a departure for the actor.
According to Rockwell, his character Craig comes a lot closer to his actual demeanour than the "psychos" and "anarchists" that he's played in the past. In the film, the latest from "Your Sister's Sister" director Lynn Shelton, he plays a lawyer and dad to a high school student (Chloë Grace Moretz) who befriends a 28-year-old slacker with a serious case of arrested development (Knightley) looking to hide out from her future and fiancé for a week.

PalmStar Media Capital has closed a multi-year financing agreement with Thunder Road Pictures, giving the production company access to more than $200 million in equity annually.
"Thunder Road has a long track record of success with both mid-size indie films and larger studio tentpoles," company head Basil Iwanyk said. "This collaboration gives us tremendous flexibility in growing both sides of the business."
Thunder Road will use the funds to fully finance and produce five to six "star-driven" independent films in the $20 to $50 million budget range per year, along with financing and co-financing the development and production of larger studio projects. The deal also provides more than $5 million in annual development capital for Thunder Road.
The deal comes at a time when studios are pulling back on mid-budget movies in order to focus on tentpoles and franchises.
Thunder Road and PalmStar said the partnership grew out of production of the Keanu Reeves action/thriller "John Wick, »

Kaitlyn Dever is one of film and television's fastest rising and most versatile young actresses and 2014 has been another busy year for her. She stars in Lynn Shelton's new comedy, Laggies, opening October 24th, in a supporting role with Keira Knightley and Chloë Grace Moretz playing a hard partying teenager with a sarcastic sense of humor who says whatever's on her mind. She also stars in Jason Reitman's Men, Women & Children opposite Jennifer Garner which hit theaters last weekend. Finally, she's currently starring in the popular ABC sitcom, Last Man Standing, which followed her recurring role in the acclaimed FX drama Justified. I recently landed an exclusive interview with Dever who talked about her reaction when she first read the script for Laggies, the appeal of the role, finding the right mindset to play Misty, the important lesson she learned from Knightley, what she enjoyed most about working with Shelton, »

With the release date fast approaching, a new UK trailer has been released for Say When, starring Keira Knightley and Chloe Grace Moretz.
Having spent her twenties comfortably inert, 28 year-old Megan (Knightley) reaches a crisis when she finds herself squarely in adulthood with no career prospects, no particular motivation to pursue any and no one to relate to, including her high school boyfriend (Mark Webber). When he proposes, Megan panics and given an opportunity to escape – at least temporarily – she hides out in the home of her new friend, 16 year-old Annika (Moretz) and Annika's world-weary single dad (Sam Rockwell).
Lynn Shelton, whose unique directorial voice created such astutely observed comedies as Your Sister'S Sister and Humpday, crafts a warm, funny romantic journey of three people who find their lives intertwined in sudden, unexpected ways, as they try to make their way in the imperfect reality of modern day life. »

Plot: An aimless young woman, debating whether or not she should marry her longtime sweetheart, escapes from her life for a week and lives with a teenaged acquaintance and her lawyer father. Review: Laggies is lucky it has such a good cast, because without the likes of Keira Knightley, Sam Rockwell and Chloe Grace Moretz buoying it, it would find itself sinking under the weight of its silly cliches and predictable narrative.

My skin is naturally tan

I don't always wear sunscreen so some parts of my body are tan like from my elbow down and from my knee down. Now that it's summer I'm wearing shorter shorts and sleeves so it looks uneven. What can I do to make it look even and natural? Lauren C.

This scares me because I know this girl in my homeroom who goes to a tanning salon twice a week. at first, she just looked like she had a natural tan but over tan , it kept more "orange". And now she looks peach like. People keep commenting on her skin and she gets aggravated by it but it's hard to notice. She's a great person and all, but not only do I think a natural tan is more beautiful , I'm also scared for her that she might get skin cancer.

If fake tans are really that dangerous its definitely not worth it!! I tan really easily so I wouldn't know, but a lot of my friends have pale skin and they really wanna look tanned. Thats just not worth it though! and pale skin looks so pretty

spray tans r gross they always look fake and they paint ur skin so if u get those at least get organic 1s its not as bad 4 ur skin tanning beds arent rly bad if u use them not often and just going outside 2 get tan isnt bad cause u get ur vitamin d from the sun
