Sexiest woman alive.
Sexiest woman alive.

Labels: Your Turn
#1 goes in circles
#2 Mila Kunis
hah,hah, me too!
Aside from my wife.
Scarlett Johansson
Kate Winslet
Helen Mirren.
Betty White
Rachel Weisz
Kate Beckinsale
Sophia Bush
Jennifer Lawrence
Kate Moss
Helena Christensen
Monica Belluci
Charlize Theron
Pasty Stone
She'd have to, because once they're dead, women lose their sexiness in a hurry.
Shit I meant Patsy. damn autocorrect!
Mila Kunis
Singer Cheryl Cole
Actress Kate Beckinsale
Porn Actress Gauge
Besides myself, lol. It is hard to find a woman in the industry that is not surged up but I would say the ones I like that have had GOOD work are:
Monica Bellucci
Sofia Loren
Raquel Welch
Iris Chacon
Jaclyn Smith
Lynda Carter
My son would say Emma Stone
My husband would say Jennifer Lopez.
I'm thinking Christy Turlington or Amy Smart
Okay...besides me...Charlize Theron
Christina Hendricks
Isla Fisher
Any woman who's pregnant. So full of life!
Carole Bouquet......Bond girl in For Your.Eyes.Only
I've always had a girl crush on Jennifer love Hewitt.
Sarah Palin, obviously.
Meagan Good; Christina Milian; Cassie Ventura
Brigitte Bardot (in her prime, obvi)
For me a woman has to own her own sexiness and power. I'd say...90's Madonna, Marilyn Monroe,Christina Hendricks, vintage Sophia Loren, anyone who's coming out of their tops with a narrow waist and lush hips, intelligence, personal power, and confidence. The skinny girls look so weak and hungry, like they couldn't form a thought even if they tried because they haven't eaten for three days. How is that sexy at all? Him: "Hey baby, what's your name?"
Her: "I can't remember, I'm feeling faint....can I get another line? " Why would you want that?
Meagan Good; Christina Milian; Cassie Ventura
Salma Hayek
Oooh I forgot, IMAN
Hillary Clinton.
Padma Lakshmi.
Catherine Deneuve age 26.
Sophia Loren
Salma Hayek
Charlize Theron
Heidi Klum
Obviously LILO with white Oprah a close second
Kelly Brook
Michelle Pfeiffer
Kate Winslet
Petra nemcova
Petra nemcova
@Renoblondee, you stole mine~ :) I think Michelle Pfeiffer is one of the most beautiful women ever. Hands down. She is gorgeous. Can I call her sexy? Not sure. Diane Keaton, too. Beautiful and sexy.
Really? why even bother asking?
@Sillygirl I totally agree that she's one of the most beautiful women ever. :)
You ever seen Batman Returns? Sexy! Fabulous Baker Boys? Sexy!
Mila Kunis or Emilia Clarke
Helena Christensen
Eva Green
Charlize Theron
Kate Winslet
Liv Tyler
Gabrielle Union
Penelope Cruz
Second that!!!
Sofia Vergara or
Salma Hayek
Obviously the correct answer is Kirstie Alley. Duh.
My ex Gf Brenda. She just is.
Sexiest Celeb?
Natalie Portman has been looking insanely hot while filming that Malick movie.
Rachel Bilson,
Megan Fox,
Tina Fey,
Minnie Gupta (Bollywood actress)
And lord help me - I find Rihanna's 'Don't give a fuck attitude' pretty sexy.
Jennifer Hawkins (former miss universe)
Zac Efron
Naomi Campbell, Salma Hayek, and me of cos ;)
Errrbody up on this blog!
Jessica Lange circa 1976 (King Kong)
so ffffffnnnnn sexy!
Jessica Lange in Blue Sky.... oh and the Postman always rings twice.
I know it is so cliche but my wife, I absolutely adore her and think she is the sexiest woman alive. If my eyes were to stray to a celebrity I would say either:
- Halle Berry
- Scarjo
- Alba
- Adriana Lima
- Meagan Goode
Beyond doubt
Aside from agreeing with Iman, my 2nd place goes to the late 60s - early 70s version of Michelle Phillips. There was a good reason why everyone in Hollywood wanted her.
Heheheheh, I wanted to say "me," too.
Right now? Tina Fey. Old-school? That might take a while to list.
I like the Helen Mirren vote, too.
I know it is so cliche but my wife, I absolutely adore her and think she is the sexiest woman alive. If my eyes were to stray to a celebrity I would say either:

- Adriana Lima

- Sofia Veagara
Sophia Loren
Helen Mirren
And now I'm blanking. I agree about Michelle Pfeiffer.
- Kate Beckinsale (glad a few others here appreciate her too)
- Minka Kelly (she isn't spoken of very fondly here but I think she's gorgeous and her ass is just out of space in that One More Night Maroon 5 clip)
- Michelle Obama (I love how she oozes so much self confidence, is highly intelligent, looks after family, stands by her husband who is the fricken POTUS and also does her own stuff - gurl just OWNS that shit!)
@Rolf Not only is Gauge sexy, she is a sweetheart in person. I live not too far from her and see her constantly. (Still working on gtting her in bed though lol)
As for sexiest woman: Raquel Welch (this is coming from a 36 year old) She's the most beautiful woman in Hollywood history. Also Brooke "Ms. Tessmacher" Adams from TNA along with Mickie James.
Michelle Rodriguez
Rosario Dawson
Michelle Obama
I co-sign the Hillary Clinton nod.
//and yes, I am dead serious.
My top 5
1. Lacey Chabert
2. Josie Loren
3. Taylor Cole
4. Dilshad Vadsaria
5. Aly Michalka
None of you ever met my Daughter and she was the most beautiful girl in the world. She was 5'9" and always weighted between 130-140 lbs. She would get blond streaks in her hair in the summer (her Dad had white blond hair) as a toddler her hair turned blond and people did not believe she was my Daughter. She will always be the Sexiest and most beautiful.
@old - beautiful! but, you said 'was'.....is she ok?
Kate Winslet has been my secret celebrity girlfriend since Heavenly Creatures! And I've been in l-o-v-e with Ellen since high school. * sigh*
Definitely Charlize Theron and Pink! Also liking Emma Stone and Carey Mulligan.
@old ;ady {{{Hugggsss}}}
@Silly Girl... She lost her daughter recently.
@old...what a beautiful tribute. (hug)
Angelina Jolie...pre extreme weight loss
@Silly girl.No sadly old;ady's daughter passed this year from cancer. Our interwebs friend has has a tragically hard year.
Sexiest woman:
Ashwari Ray
Charlize Theron
Helen Mirren
Megan Fox (afore she messed up her face)
Halle Berry
And any woman who has confidence in herself, knows how to tell a joke and laugh at herself and doesn't feel like she needs a man to make her feel worth something.
Honestly, I'd run across all the other women named here to get to Emma Watson.
Gwen Stefani
Kate Beckinsale
Sofia Vergara
Penelope Cruz
Madeleine Stowe
Has everyone forgotten about Shakira?
And, as much as it pains me: Jennifer Lopez. Her face with its mix of artful plastic surgery plus her ethnicity is breathtaking.
Rihanna if she had a brain transplant.
@old;ady heartfelt hugs to you and your family.
@ montana, I'll copy your list and add Fanny ardent
Charlize Theron
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Mila Kunis
Jessica Lowndes
Sorry I forgot to list Gillian Anderson - she gets sexier with age..
@old ;ady, so sorry for your loss....hugs...
Ashley Olson, I forgot her!
Look at the cute pug in my photo. Isn't the answer obvious? :)
Love to you old ;ady!
What a lovely tribute to your special lady. Big hug for you :D
Sending you extra love as the holidays approach. We are here for you!!!
@old she sounds beautiful, I'm sorry for your loss
Octomom ;)
Rhona Mitra
I saw the mummy when I was little for the first time and thought Rachel Weisz was the most beautiful girl in the world
Naomie Harris
Kate Upton
Eva Mendez
Michelle Rodriguez
Marilyn Monroe
Brigitte Bardot
Mae West
Sophia Loren
Salman Hayek
Lisa Raye
Pam Grier
Elizabeth Taylor - Cat On A Hot Tin Roof
Michelle Pfieffer - Tequila Sunrise
Angelina Jolie - Mr. & Mrs. Jones
For now and forever in anything....
Marilyn Monroe.
Tori Amos, for many reasons. Her recent plastic surgery turned out awful, and I was saddened that she felt the need for it. Despite that, she's a pretty badass, sexy lady.
It's actually very sweet, not cliche at all!
It sounds like she was a beautiful woman! I'm sure she felt lucky to have such a wonderful mother as well.
Oh shit, ALIVE.....
Oooops, LOL
Oh shit, ALIVE.....
Oooops, LOL
Rachel Bilson
Paula Patton
Adriana Lima
Erika Christensen
Kaley Cuoco
Olivia Thirlby
Queen Latifah
Lizzy Kaplan
Cindy Crawford
My husband said me first but with a bit of prodding, we have Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek and Tina Fey. They whole Tina Fey thing is because I kinda look like her and she's funny like me, but I have red hair and a bad temper.
The two sexiest woman alive are Monica Belluci and Helen Mirren.
No joke, my husband's sister is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. And everyone agrees. It's so annoying but hopefully my kids will get some of those genes!
Trendy, all the best to your gene plans. All of my kids look like their father, the girl is attractive but won't do a thing to enhance her looks, She's a very pretty woman but no makeup or hairstyle. It's long and kinda blonde. I at least know she has a good looking boyfriend who adores here and that's all that counts.
I'm so lucky and I wish that everyone else get's the good love.
Berenice Marlohe (the new James Bond girl) is a deluge of hotness.
Megan Fox (a couple injections back)
Emilia Clark (Khaleesi Lannister in GoT)
Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister in GoT)
Christina Hendricks
@old ;ady : big hug ...
Michelle Obama.
OT a little, but I have a friend who is just beautiful. Her husband could be considered ruggedly handsome, to some, I suppose. I think his face looks funny but I can't figure out what it is. Anyway, they have two kids, 14 yr old girl and 11 yr old boy. The boy looks just like his mom, cute as a button, he'll grow up to be darling. The girl looks just her dad. Same, je ne sais quoi factor about her as her dad! They are identical! It's crazy.
Christina Hendricks.
Thandie Newton is my personal gorgeousness icon!
I can't believe no one has mentioned Rashida Jones! A well-educated, intelligent, witty, and beyond gorgeous woman!
Monica Belluci
oh! and goes in circles ! ;)

Her name is Bianca Carelli, she is 17 years old. (Santino is 33).
Hard Ace
Also Santino's birthday is in March, so depending when Bianca's birthday is, Santino must've been a father at age 15 or 16.
Meaning when he was younger, that dude got LAID!
That aside he must've had to MAN UP so got quite the respect for him(plus out of gimmick he's quite the worker) congrats to both of em.

She's a cutie! She doesn't get her looks from Santino!

Israeli singer and actress Meital Dohan broke out into the scene with a recurring role on the Showtime series Weeds. She earned her place by being heavily involved in theatre in central Israel and was nominated Most Promising Actress by the Cameri Theater.
She starred in a Sony Pictures web comedy Woke Up Dead and now follows it with a thriller entitled Monogamy.
Her debut album I'm In Hate With Love will soon be released with "Yummy" as a lead off single.
Check out why this multi-talented knock out plans on dancing all summer long!
Jerry Nunn: Hi, Meital. Love the new video.
Meital Dohan: Thank you!
JN: How was it working with Rami Afuni the producer for LMFAO?
MD: He is one of the producers. They produce themselves as well. Rami is a really talented guy. It was a pleasure. He is very professional.
JN: How does it work to get something remixed? Do you send it off to them?
MD: There are all different ways sometimes. You approach DJs that you like or sometimes they want to do a remix for you. Sometimes there is a party that they want to do a remix for and they connect with you.
JN: Did you always want to sing? I know you did a lot of theatre in Israel.
MD: I did a song with well known Israeli singer Ivri Lider on a show then I would sing on a soundtrack for a movie I did but never I never thought I would pursue it professionally. It takes the majority of my time for a while.
JN: Is this your year to work on music?
MD: Sure, since I started it has been crazy. I don't even have time to go to the bathroom! I was in my home country eight days because it has been so busy with the music.
JN: That is a good thing.
MD: Yeah, it is happening fast so it is exciting.
JN: You know I interviewed Ivri when he was in Chicago.
MD: Oh nice!
JN: He was playing at the House of Blues in Chicago. I met him at his hotel and he is a really great guy.
MD: He is.
JN: Do you have any plans to come to Chicago?
MD: I might tour as I am running naked in the street and punching people then come to Chicago. It depends on what type of morning I have. Catch me on a bad morning and I might run all the way to Chicago (laughs)!
JN: Well, I hope you get here any way you can. I heard you are performing at the Dinah Shore Club Skirts Weekend.
MD: Yes.
JN: That is going to be crazy.
MD: Yes, it will. I have high hopes to become a lesbian at that event. It might be my turning point.
JN: It could be. You are straight right?
MD: Unfortunately yes. I don't know if you can say straight these days because men are so much like women now. I might be more gay than the lesbians actually.
JN: You wore a strap on dildo for Showtime's Weeds.
MD: I know, I am getting there I'm telling you! Or you can just say that I am a man.
JN: You can be aggressive. I don't know how women are in Israel. Are they aggressive?
MD: Yes, men and women are aggressive. It is one of the upsides and downsides for Israelis. Overall being honest and too intense is interpreted as aggression.
JN: Interesting. Is the theatre world different or the same in Israel?
MD: In Israel I was doing televsion, theatre, and film. It is important to understand that it is more like European actors. There is not much separation between television or film actors. It is a smaller country and the industry is smaller. When you work it is in all mediums.
JN: That is good though.
MD: Yeah, I was a part of interesting and popular projects. It has all been a pleasure.
JN: In America they may want to pigeonhole you in a certain way.
MD: I think it is mainly because the industry is so big and the dynamic is different.
JN: Ivri told me he learned in English in school. Is that how you learned it?
MD: Yes.
JN: You have a whole album out this summer.
MD: I know and it is exciting. I'm In Hate With Love. I don't know I thought up a title like that.
JN: The theme is about monogamous relationships correct?
MD: It is all about individuality and the tension that we have around the world. Love in the modern world. Most people don't even know how they feel about love. There are some happy couples but from a simple view of statistics and how people spend their time together makes it a very different world than what it used to be.
JN: Speaking of monogamy, you had a movie of the same name come out last year with that title.
MD: I know!
JN: You had no speaking lines in it but the lead. It must be a visual film.
MD: I like action. I am not a talking person. I cut right to the chase.
JN: Gotcha! (both laugh)
MD: I mean there were not a lot of lines but in this case it was part of the magic and the mystery of the character. It was my challenge as an actor to still make all of the dialogue in the world but inside.
JN: Have you seen the movie The Artist yet?
MD: Yes, it is phenomenal. I loved it!
JN: Did you watch the Oscars?
MD: I don't have a television here in California yet. I have never had a TV as an adult because I am always very busy. I am a fan of controlling what you want to see. I like to watch DVDs though.
JN: Tell me about this book that you wrote.
MD: It's called Love & Other Bad Habits. It is love stories and text with pictures of women.
JN: You better bring that book to The Dinah Shore they are going to be ready to buy that one! Do you have more acting coming up?
MD: I'm working on a TV series and a few movies. Before that I will have my next single after "Yummy" but now I have a few live shows.
JN: Well bring that act to a club in Chicago.
MD: I would love to.
JN: This could be a hot summer for you.
MD: I am hoping it will be!

text: An employee was drug tested following an incident at work. His D&A test returned a positive result. He claimed that this positive result was due to taking Zantac. Apparently the testing facility told him that, given the right conditions, Zantac can show up in a drug test as crystal meth (which is what he tested positive for). I am no physician and don't profess to be, but this seems a little far-fetched to me. I ask this question because my wife works in the same industry, and also takes Zantac to treat heartburn symptoms.

NEW SONG // Flight Facilities - Clair De Lune (@flightfac)
Beautiful song! Will have on repeat for a while…
Stars - The North
LOVE the whole album!
Indie Spotify Playlist
The Neighbourhood - Sweater Weather
"It's too cold for you here, now, so let me hold both your hands in the holes of my sweater".
It's a pretty cutesy line from LA's newest hipsters, who's mystique keeps our attention solely on their music. Sweater Weather follows the release ofFemale Robbery in anticipation of the quintet's debut EP 'I'm Sorry' released in May.
The Neighbourhood operate in a post-Lana world where retro is king - from the slide guitar sound, to the black and white videos (Female Robbery's Hitchcockian imagery) and the final third of Sweater Weather that is more than a little suggestive of Chris Isaak's Wicked Game. But this being 2012, that's not all. It all begins with a pounding hip hop beat and the rhythms of the vocal delivery border on rap. It's an irresistible and hypnotic fusion of styles that's utterly 'now'.
It's the lyrics that tug at the heartstrings most though. Sexually-charged lines like "No shirt. No blouse. Just Us" depict teenage love with perfect economy of words. That central chorus lyric and its catchy melody are key though. Who says cool can't be charming?
The Knocks - The Feeling
The Knocks have had a busy summer. From remixing Of Monsters and Men to playing All Things Go's One Year Anniversary show, they've had their work cut out for them, to say the least. Fortunately for us, they show no sign of stopping. Their latest release "The Feeling" is a perfect end-of-the-summer jam that's nothing short of anthemic. If you thought you had a hard time getting "Geronimo" out of your head, you're in for a treat. Head over to iTunes for a download or stream the track below, and if you're in NYC be sure to check out their single release party tonight at Le Baron.

In case you were wondering who Peter is, you might also find him moonlighting under the moniker Yuksek. As for The Magician, well…that's his normal name. And together, they form Peter & The Magician!
The duo are set to unleash their second EP Memory on July 9th via Kitsuné, featuring this original track as well as a few mixes from NSFW and Poindexter. Pretty sure this label never disappoints…
RAC - If You Forget Me (Gigamesh Remix)
Both RAC and Gigamesh have been killing it lately, pumping out originals and remixes that instantaneously rise above the rest and sit atop the charts.
So, seeing them both together on the same track naturally brings out all sorts of excitement. Perhaps even you did a double-take when you saw this title.
At this point I should probably let you know that this track, featuring Liset Alea, was actually released all the way back in 2010. And barely anyone noticed, myself included.
Just like Bruno (of Golden Scissors), I'm willing to wager that this one would have torn apart the blogosphere had it been a freshly hyped release today.

Little girl injured by hair band makes best of situation
7-year-old Mya Bartlett does not like to talk about the accident that fractured her skull and left her with traumatic brain damage. It happened in April, 2010. She fell on a soccer ball, fell backward, and hit her head. The Hello Kitty ponytail holder she was wearing damaged her fragile skull.
"I fell on a head accessory and had a head injury," she simply stated.
Now Bartlett is using her injurty to raise awareness about safe hair bows. After doing some research, her mom realized that Mya's injury was fairly common, especially for girls who are active.
"As the doctors said, it was as if she had a rock and a knife in her head when she fell," said Mya's mom Tristen Waters. "The rock was the plastic, and the corners and edges acted as a knife."
Now Mya and her sister Kyra have turned the injury into an investment. They are making and selling safe hair accessories, without plastic or metal parts.
"Girls under the age of 14, their head is sstill growing and developing," said Kyra.
Mya and Kyra design and sew the bows themselves, with a little help from their mom, Waters.
Waters says Mya has struggled with ADD, ADHD, and memory loss among other things since the injury. However, she is proud that the girls are attempting to help prevent similar problems.
"The product that they are making is going to save lives," Waters said. "And because the product they are making is saving lives, they are saving the world."
The girls used some of the money they made from the bows and bands to pay for summer camp. Now they are deciding which charity to donate the rest of the money thay made to.Copyright © 2014, Los Angeles Times

Gazprom may not be as familiar to you as BP or Exxon, but they're just as capable of making history with a catastrophic oil spill. The Russian oil giant is the first company to start oil production in the Arctic after their failed attempt last year in addition to Shell's year of drilling mishaps.Read more
At 4.30am Moscow time, five inflatable boats were launched from the Greenpeace International ship Arctic Sunrise and headed towards the Gazprom oil platform Prirazlomnaya, in the remote Pechora sea. One of the inflatables was confronted by the Russian Coast Guard, and two activists were arrested. See photos
Crew members of the Arctic Sunrise reported that a total of 11 warning shots have been fired across the ship and the Coast Guard has threatened to fire at the ship itself if it does not leave the area immediately. View video

text: In November of 2011 the '79 Chevy I was driving to sell for my father finally sold. Well I needed a vehical and my 1964 ford F-110 was in pieces. So a gentalmen that my Dad knew, Came in one day asking if any one would want a '69 3/4 ton Ford, s my Dad and I went and looked at it. Instantly I liked because it had the big FE 390 in it and was a 3/4 ton. I talked with the gentalmen a little bit about it and it had been parked in 2001, its 100% original, and he only want $750 for it. Two days latter it was in my dads shop. The carb on it was a junk Holley so we took the Motorcraft off my dads 390 and put on it. Two pumps of the throttle she fired right up with no problems like it just ran the night before. I got to drive it for about three weeks until the oil pressure dropped to nothing and i bent three push rods. So this last winter I pulled it out and rebuilt the motor. When I tore into i discovered that tis motor has never been appart since it was first built in 1969. Now I've driven it for 4 weeks now since i got the motor in it, and it runs Beutifuly. While I had the motor out I also changed the third members going from a limited slip dana 60 to a dana 77 posy, along with rebuilding the bendix sterring box in it as well because it leaked. I did all the work my self and I'm proud to have a great pickup but also a piece of working history from the best automaker in the nation.

Kellen Winslow is a boost to get back for the New York Jets' passing game, but what he commented on in the weekly press conference was their running game and defense.
Teams peak at certain points in the season and we're to that point where you wanna make a decision on how good you really wanna be. I've been on a lot of teams. We're a real good team defensively, and we have a really good run game. That's what you want in the Playoffs and that's what goes far in the Playoffs. So we're right there.
He went on to say that he doesn't see why the Jets can't win them all. New York is currently sitting in second place, sitting two back of the New England Patriots in the AFC East with a 5-4 record.
With rookie quarterback Geno Smith at the helm, the Jets would certainly like to lean on that running game, the problem is that Bilal Powell and Chris Ivory haven't necessarily been explosive this season. The passing game will have to step up if the Jets want to "peak". Winslow would be a big part of that.
The rest of that interview, among other players thoughts on the season right now, can be found at Newyorkjets.com

This is a popular grab-and-go breakfast for New Yorkers on the run. Countless variations exist, and we've added one more with our own homemade favorite. Lighten up the cheese and eggs, swap the roll for an English muffin, and doctor the sandwich with ketchup and a healthy dose of hot sauce, just like they do in the Big Apple.
Oxmoor House OCTOBER 2013
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Combine first 3 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.
3. Place 1 cheese slice on top of each muffin half. Place muffin halves on a baking sheet. Broil 1 minute or until cheese melts.
4. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add egg mixture to pan; cook without stirring until mixture sets on bottom. Draw a spatula across bottom of pan to form curds. Continue drawing spatula across bottom of pan until egg mixture is slightly thick, but still moist; do not stir constantly. Remove from pan immediately and place on muffin bottom.
5. Spread ketchup over cheese on muffin top. Sprinkle egg with hot sauce, if desired, and cover with muffin top. Serve immediately.

8mi knocked out over an extended lunch - tick! Couldn't really fit in a bunch of strides, so pushed the last couple of miles up towards 10k pace instead.
Thanks for the feedback on weight loss - I'm sure with a little rigour on my part the excess flab will drift off over the coming weeks...
15West - not done as much strength work as I'd like, need to get into the routine again. Got some TRX-style suspension training kit a couple of weeks ago - best get it out of the bag and put it to use...work on that core strength.
Right, back to it!
Been offline for a while – good to see this is an active board! Plenty to catch up on. Think I win the King of the Lard here…6'3'' and 92kg (although my peak was about 122kg a few years back…gave up competitive swimming and retained the healthy appetite whilst developing a taste for real ale! Ouch!
I'm currently at the beginning of Week 4 of the 18/55 programme – target race is Amsterdam on 19 Oct. Aside from a short break at the end of last week, I've pretty much nailed each session – great feeling! Apart from tightness in the right ankle in the morning (92kg!!) all seems to be good physically. Need to make a concerted effort to drop the kgs now – too many post-run/work beers still!!
Extended lunch break today – 8m/strides in Battersea park.
Thanks for the welcomes guys – always good to be able to compare progress with others doing the same programme.
Wenturtle – I've never run the Amsterdam Mara before – heard really good things about it, and the idea of finishing in the stadium is great. Had a similar experience during my first marathon in Stockholm in 2010 (4h31)…amazing how you suddenly find a burst of energy when a few '000 people are clapping you in! Florence was a great experience too – love the city, and the chance to run past all the major sites was excellent. Course nice and flat – sparse on spectators in some places…a lot of euro races are! Dropped my PB from 3:38 to 3:24 – another reason to love it!
Mennania – Didn't use a programme for Florence, just tried to be more consistent and injury free. A few longer midweek runs also seemed to help.
10 miles GA tonight after work – a nice route away from work and down through Brixton, Dulwich, Crystal Palace. Suffering a bit with a stomach bug so will be taking it steady…always seems to happen when I visit my 2.y.o. niece!
Strava profile
Just stumbled across this thread. Never used P&D before. I'm now 8 days into the 18/55 schedule with the goal being the Amsterdam marathon on 19 October. Today is a rest day apparently, although I do try and get on my bike when not running. My previous best Mara time was in Florence last November (3h24) – but would love to get near 3h15…
First 8 days of the P&D 18/55 schedule out of the way - no complaints so far! How is everyone else getting on? Any injuries/niggles to speak of? What races (if any) do you plan on doing during the build up? I've got a HM in Sept (Maidenhead) and possibly another one in late July (if I'm feeling up for it).

jack screwSyllabification: jack screw
1A screw that can be turned to adjust the position of an object into which it fits.

As a working definition, resiliency was defined as the "ability of the distribution system to absorb stresses without experiencing a sustained outage," of more than five minutes. However, the task force stressed that resiliency extends beyond the distribution of energy to the preparedness of the populace and the emergency response system.
The task force held eight roundtable discussions over 60 days, hearing testimony from 50 experts. State agencies and utilities were asked to share information on outages from the derecho and recent hurricanes and blizzards as well as staffing levels at the time of the storm.
In its final report, Weathering the Storm: Report of the Grid Resiliency Task Force, the task force offers 11 recommendations, ranging from policy improvements to disaster drills. The recommendations are designed to be taken as a whole rather than as a set of independent suggestions. As the report explains: "While some may call attention to certain of the task force's recommendations, it is critical to understand that they work best as a unified strategy. The coordinated implementation of the recommendations is as important as the recommendations themselves; if rolled out in an 'a la carte' manner, they may not produce the expected results."
In its recommendations, the task force addresses policy concerns, steps utilities must take to harden the grid, and planning for future disasters.
Among the topics addressed in the policy recommendations were agency differences in data collection on outages and the need for improving information sharing among state agencies.
When comparing the outage information from the three major state utilities, the task force found that each company collected data differently and used different terminology. The resulting reports could not be compared, and some information was simply unavailable. For example some utilities failed to keep information on outages across different types of systems such as overhead or underground lines. And other companies made no distinction among the load densities experienced in different areas, meaning that outages in rural areas were not distinguished from outages in urban areas. To solve this problem and have better information going forward, the task force recommended standardized reporting criteria.

Norma Shearer's floral gown she wore in "Marie Antoinette" as well as her travelling gown were later reused.
The floral gown was worn by an actress in "Singin' In The Rain", as well as one of Norma´s wigs. The wig Jean Hagen wears when she comes out of a dressing room and says "Gee, this wig weighs a ton" In response to, "Everyone wore them." and she replies, "Then everyone was a dope!" was in fact one worn by Norma.
In "Du Barry was a Lady" Lucille Ball wears Norma´s travelling gown.
I think Norma wins this edition of Who Wore It Better.

Search Group For Easter House Adoptees
EHbabes.com was created by a mother who surrendered her child to adoption via Easter House. EHbabes.com is intended to be a search, reunion and support site for Easter House mothers, fathers, adoptive parents and our children. This article explains that Easter House was part of a complex network begun by a man named Seymour Kurtz. According to Lynne Taggart who interviewed Kurtz for a book about baby brokers, Kurtz received his license to set up his agency as a non-profit adoption agency in the early 1960's. However, around 1973, the person that he hired to run the agency warned him that due to a lack of babies, they might need to shut down. Seymour Kurtz allegedly immediately began looking to… [more]
Bad Adoption Practices – Past and Present
In this story, the birth mother was told that her child had died at birth. Instead, shortly after her birth in 1955, the child was sold in a gray market adoption for $250. Needless to say, the birth mother was stunned to find that the child she believed had died was alive and had been stolen from her. She was 33 when her daughter was born and then evidently stolen and sold by the midwife and doctor. "I guess they wanted the money," she says. Even for some birth parents in closed adoptions who know that their children are probably alive, in a sense at reunion it can be as though they are back from the dead. Can you even imagine what… [more]
Katherine Cole – Miami, FL
Cole babies were babies delivered by Dr. Katherine Cole. Dr. Cole was a naturopathic physician that practiced in Miami, Florida for 51 years. In her 2 story clinic on the west side of Miami, Cole delivered thousands of babies. The building in which her clinic was located also contained several rooms that Cole rented to pregnant and unmarried women. In many cases, the babies that these women bore were illegally placed with adoptive families for a price. A fee for that ranged from twenty five dollars to several thousands of dollars. Dr. Katherine Cole ran one of the biggest black market adoption rings in the country from 1927 to 1963 in Miami, Florida. Katherine Cole was arrested at least 7 times. She… [more]
Bessie Bernard – Miami, FL
This site will tell you the story of Bessie Bernard. Bessie Bernard was a part of a baby peddling ring in the 1940s which charged as much as two thousand dollars per baby, which was a lot of money at that time. Many of the unwed mothers were found in the Miami Florida area and once the babies were born they were brought north and were sold in New York and nearby states. Bessie Bernard was charged with conspiracy and illegal placement for adoption in December 1949. She worked with two others who were Brooklyn attorneys Irwin Slater and Harry Wolfson. Mr. Slater drafted formal agreements. Bessie Bernard was in charge of placement and transportation of the babies. During the… [more]
Black Market Adoption Part 2
In some cases, there are already others adopted from the same source who can provide information to a new searcher. Some of the already established groups include Cole babies, Hicks babies, Bessie babies, Dr. Mary babies, Butterbox babies, and Springer babies. Black market adoptees should use all established methods for obtaining information, but cannot take anything for granted as details were so often changed, deleted, or missing altogether. They should be aware that documents such as birth certificates and consent forms were also often falsified. Black market adoptees can and do have successful searches, but the searches are more difficult because of the lack of reliable information and therefore, may take longer. The first place any adoptee should register is with the International… [more]
Black Market Adoption Part 1
A black market adoption is the sale of a baby for profit. Some may have the image of a dark alley and money being exchanged. However, it isn't nor was it like this at all. In the early 1900's, private secular and religious groups began the permanent residential care of orphaned children, but were ill equipped to handle the multitude of America's orphans. By the 1920's, social changes and the absence of state run orphanages provided fertile ground for the emergence of black market adoption as a means to place babies with adoptive parents. From elite maternity homes to the back doors of private doctors' offices, babies began to be sold by unscrupulous doctors, attorneys, and other individuals. Word quickly spread in cities… [more]
Black and Gray Market Adoptions
For people involved in black or gray market adoptions, finding birth family or a child surrendered to adoption certainly can be more difficult. However, over the years groups have sprung up to unite those searching. There were some quite well-known adoption lawyers or agencies in several states know for shady, if not illegal adoption practices. In Florida, an attorney named Helen Tanos Hope was known to have handled many adoptions in the 60's to 90's. It is alleged that her adoption records were found in a dumpster after her death and another attorney took possession of the records. Eventually, the Florida Department of Children & Families took possession of these records. Whether the adoptions that she handled were actually black… [more]
The Baby Thief
Back in March 2006 I wrote a blog about Georgia Tann and Black Market Adoptions. That blog is accessible at http://birthfamily-search.adoptionblogs.com/weblogs/georgia-tann. Today, I learned of a new book that is coming out about Georgia Tann via a news article at http://www.memphisflyer.com/memphis/Content?oid=oid%3A24386. The story of Georgia Tann is being told by New York author Barbara Raymond in the book titled The Baby Thief: The Untold Story of Georgia Tann, The Baby Seller Who Corrupted Adoption. The book is being published by Caroll & Graff and will be out on April 28, 2007. Georgia Tann ran an adoption for profit scandal that rocked Memphis, TN in the 1950's. Georgia Tann operated the Tennessee Children's Home on Popular Avenue in the 1930's and 1940… [more]
Elizabeth Duncan Part 2
First off, some triad members who have contacted me regarding Mrs. Duncan seem to think or believe she was connected with Catholic Charities. This is not true. Mrs. Duncan was not connected to Catholic Charities in any way shape or form. A lot of the natural mothers who relinquished through Mrs. Duncan were referred to her via the priests of the local catholic churches, the doctors, hospitals, and lawyers that she worked with regularly. I do not believe that there was any financial benefit for Mrs. Duncan in the work that she did. I have not been able to locate any evidence that she received any sort of payment for her services. I have not met any… [more]
Elizabeth Duncan Part 1
When I was adopted the adoption was a private adoption through a woman named Elizabeth Duncan. She placed many babies in PA and to the best of my knowledge did not place the babies outside of Western, PA. In addition, to the best of my knowledge I don't believe she placed outside of Westmoreland or Allegheny County. My adoptive parents were introduced to Mrs. Duncan through the priest at their church. The story goes that the priest came to bless their home and asked if they had any children. The response was no but they were thinking about adoption. The priest blessed the home, left, and phoned when he returned to the rectory with Mrs. Duncan's name and phone… [more]

Tuesday Tune: Heroine4 Sep
Heroine by Dwntwn. Love. Love.
Conversations In Bars4 Sep
We sat at a bar
on the outside patio
talking about all the lives
we wanted to live, how
we didn't feel we belonged,
how we wanted more.
We looked at the stars as if
they were other worlds
within reach, drank
a few more beers, and then
went home to the same old
sheets in the same worn-down bed.
The Green Girl4 Sep
She didn't live in the moment
Her thoughts were
her greatest companion, and
her worst counterpart.
If there was one piece
of advice I could give her,
it would be: to
practice the art
of just being.
Just be.

Over the weekend at WonderCon in Anaheim, CA, actor Jay Baruchel (Hiccup) and director Dean DeBlois of How to Train Your Dragon sat down to talk to press about the upcoming sequel.
They revealed how the movie ties into the TV show, how it's going to be the part two of a trilogy and the addition of Cate Blanchett into the mix.
The television series has been airing since the last picture, it follows the events after the first film but are there plans for it to bridge into the next picture?
Jay Baruchel: One of the cool things about the TV show is that we get to go into everyday life. What the TV show gives us is the opportunity to put the audience in that neighborhood and the islands and see what life is like every day.
DeBlois: The idea of doing a sequel needed to be necessary to me. I think there were enough unanswered questions in the first movie that there was more story to be told, but my pitch was that it be a trilogy. The second movie would be like the middle act of a three-part story. It will culminate in a very finite way. I know that they're preparing for a third season of the TV show, but I don't know if it's been greenlit yet. The idea of the third season would actually begin to help set up the second movie. They've done two seasons that intentionally weren't stepping on our toes in terms of the surprises and reveals that we have, and now that the second movie will be out there, the third season could get closer to setups of those things and hopefully create a seamless narrative.
Jay, can you talk a bit about your involvement with the show? Many movies that spin-off into TV series tend to not use the same voice cast. What inspired you to keep voicing Hiccup?
Well for me there was no question. I didn't want anyone else to play the role. I think part of the actor's job is to take ownership of the character and to be defensive and protective and all that stuff. So when it was first mentioned that Hiccup might have a life on television, I was very interested. What was cool about the TV show is that it takes place in between the two movies, so when we're done with the franchise we'll have given the world a very full, complete story. Selfishly, it's kept me in that mind space. A lot of people have been asking me what it's like to come back to this world and my answer is, "I never left." When it comes down to it I just did not want anyone else to play him.
Have you received any sort of producer's input into the character since you've been with him for so long?
Baruchel: I'd like to think so. They could be humoring me for all I know.
DeBlois: Hiccup is so similar to Jay that whenever I have a question about how or what he might say, I give up the fight because I know I may have heard it a certain way in my head, but that's just me second-guessing him. He's the greatest authority on the character.
What are the changes in the universe since the first film?
DeBlois: Well, we've advanced the story five years after the first film because Hiccup had everything he wanted at the end of the first movie. He had the admiration of his father and the respect of the town and the affection of Astrid. So when we looked to give him a new problem, we looked at our own journeys through life and realized that there's that moment when you look back at childhood with longing and realize that the future is daunting because you have to become an adult. Hiccup is being groomed to become a chief, and that seems like a very dull and unexciting future. So it's really about discovering the other half of his soul and he expresses that by constantly mapping and exploring uncharted islands and finding new dragons and finding new conflicts.
What's the scope of the sequel?
DeBlois: The scope gets really big in this movie. What Hiccup discovers while he's out mapping the world is that there's a brewing conflict, that conflict being incited by a very ambitious conqueror, Drago Bludvist who's looking to build a dragon army. He's played by Djimon Hounsou and employs dragon trappers. One of the self-declared best dragon trappers is Eret, Son of Eret, played by Kit Harington. And then there's the third character, Valka, Hiccup's mom, played by Cate Blanchett, who's waging this one-woman war against Drago's ambitions by rescuing those dragons and whisking them back to a sanctuary where she mends them back to health.
Could you talk a bit about Cate Blanchett's involvement and how she comes into the story?
DeBlois: We had hoped that that was going to remain a secret until people saw the movie. I think Hiccup realizing that a part of him is missing is drawn from the first movie, this idea of his mother and 'Where is she?' We thought it'd be interesting if she was missing for 20 years, and in those 20 years she's been living with dragons and learning their ways and discovering their secrets and becoming their fierce protector. And if Hiccup were to run into this interesting, exciting person who's living this dragon-centric life, how would he react? It's really about him expanding his own self-discovery.
Why it was important to do a sequel for How To Train Your Dragon?
DeBlois: The idea of doing a sequel needed to be necessary to me. There were a number of unanswered questions in the first movie, that I did feel there was more story to be told, but my vision was that it would be a trilogy, a middle act to a three act story, we would call it a very finite way, in much of a way that it is addressed in Cressida Cowell's books: the disappearance of dragons, what happened to them, and hiccup's completion of coming of age. The stories kind of write themselves, the moment you leave the island of Berk, and you venture off into the world that Cowell has created, there are also different types of dragons with different abilities all over the place. It's just a fun world to live in, very easy to write.
How to Train Your Dragon 2 opens on June 13th 2014

The NFL has announced that San Francisco will host Super Bowl L. This is considered to be an even more important Super Bowl than the others because it is the 50th Super Bowl.
The San Francisco/Bay Area bid for the Super Bowl and were considered the early favorites. They're getting a new facility in Santa Clara, Levi Stadium, and leaving Candlestick Park.
It'll be a very technologically advanced stadium, including Wi-Fi for everyone in attendance. The stadium is very green, solar panels will produce all the electricity needed for the stadium, they use recycled water for irrigation and the technology will include ticketless access and you won't even need cash to buy concessions. They're also donating 25% of the revenue to the area, mainly children in need.
They also have a great and catchy tag line is: "the Golden Super Bowl, in the Golden State, by the Golden State Bridge."
South Florida, mainly Miami, also bid for the Super Bowl. South Florida has hosted 10 Super Bowls and is definitely steeped in Super Bowl history. New Orleans has also hosted 10. Knocks against South Florida's bid are numerous though: lack of luxury suites, a 27 year old facility that provides no coverage to fans. Remember rainy Super Bowl XLI? They like to host Super Bowls in fair weather cities, or domes, where game play and more importantly prestigious fans aren't disturbed.
Houston bid for the Super Bowl as well. Houston has experienced a great rebirth of sorts as the cultural centers grow. Forbes named it the coolest city in America. The Houston bid stressed their 'southern hospitality.' Reliant Stadium hosted Super Bowl XXXVIII and they've upgraded their video display and it will be bigger than Dallas's.
The Super Bowl, and the decision to let a city host one has always been a special process. Cities that want to host a city put together bids and presentations in hopes they will be granted the big game. The Super Bowl brings an economic boost to the area that hosts it. With the Super Bowl comes thousands of fans and media from all over the world, there are week long festivities. And the money that funnels in mainly through restaurants and hotels is desirable for any city.

Everyone experiences heartbreak. It's the common thread in the tapestry of life. It's the reason why we form friendships and create support systems, an excuse to be selfish and even reckless. It can be the motivation to step outside of your comfort zone because, when your heart has been broken, you no longer have a comfort zone. It's an opportunity to try to relate to other people. It's the reason why we all spent the past year being obsessed with Adele.
So, at least there's that.

Where to go… (Taken with instagram)
I read an article yesterday about the creator of the It Gets Better campaign. While I understand the purpose of targeting this campaign towards the LGBT community, it struck me that this is a message that could have an impact on teenagers from all backgrounds, races, and sexual orientations. I think that, at times, almost all teenagers need assurance that life does get better, perhaps some more than others. I know that I did and, to be honest, even in my 30's I still need that assurance more often than I like to admit. There's a reason why some of the best movies of all times revolve around teen angst. It's a topic that almost everyone can relate to because we've all been there.
A couple of months ago, I rewatched all nineteen episodes of My So Called Life. What drew me to this show seventeen years ago was that the main character, Angela Chase, was me…and I was her. I wasn't Kelly Taylor or Brenda Walsh or even Donna Martin. I was Angela Chase. I was the slightly awkward teenager who felt 1000 times more awkward than I actually was. I was surrounded by friends and family who wanted the best for me but I refused to believe that I was good enough to deserve their love and support. I was the girl who played the under the radar sidekick to her drama queen best friends. I even rocked the oversized flannel shirts, just like Angela.
Rewatching Angela Chase in all of her glory - uncomfortably interacting with her family, trying to establish herself within the pecking order of her circle of friends, and pining after the unattainable Jordan Catalano, made me wish that I could jump into a time machine to 1994, knock on the door of Patty and Graham's rancher and just tell Angela that she's so much better than she realizes and that life does get better.
"But when does it get better?" she will ask. The tricky thing is, it's all about perception. It gets better when your own outlook changes. Fifteen plus years after Angela Chase, there are still times when I feel like an awkward teenager. A lot. The difference now is that I love that about myself. I think that everyone feels that way more than they would like to admit and that's what makes a person relateable. Nobody wants to be around someone who is flawless or who thinks they're flawless. There are people who you meet who come across as intimidatingly confident. You have to realize that even they have insecurities. I'm not talking about supermodels who claim that they were awkward dorks with no friends growing up and now look at them. I'm talking about the people who you meet in every day life and think to yourself, "My life would be so much better if I had his or her confidence." I can almost promise that nobody is really as confident as you think they are. No human being lives without insecurities.
So maybe life never gets to it's "best" point, but it does get better. There comes a point when you learn to accept and be comfortable with who you really are. You learn to surround yourself with people who encourage you to be yourself and who bring out the best in you. As you become an adult, you are no longer friends with someone just because your parents are friends with their parents or because you wait together for the school bus. As you move through life, your friends become the people with whom you choose to surround yourself. They are the people who understand you, who care about you, who help you through life, and who make the awkward teenager inside of you feel like she couldn't be more perfect. They're your comfort zone. Life gets better when you learn how to weed out the people who make you cry and rely on the people who make you laugh. In the end, that is what's going to make it better. If I had the opportunity to go back to 1994 and give Angela Chase one piece of advice, that's what I would tell her. Then I would tell her to jump on the Brian Krakow train now because, in fifteen years, he'll be the millionaire internet tycoon with the flock of girls chasing after him and you already sent that ship sailing.
My extended family…sometimes I dream about being a Williamson.
Happy Cinco de Mayo! I'm super emotional about this day and not just because it's the one day during the year when it's socially acceptable to drink too much tequila and wear Dylan McKay style bajas. Today my mom went through her first round of chemotherapy. Coincidentally, today also marks the one year anniversary of the night that I told my parents and best friends that I had cancer. It's not often that I find myself in agreement with my mom on an emotional level (or on any other level, for that matter) but, even in the midst of what she is going through, she and I are pretty much on the same page when reflecting on the past year. Not to turn this into any kind of pity party, but my family has gone through a lot of shit over the past twelve months. Today my mom told me that, despite everything that we have gone through, this was probably the best year of her life because she discovered a side and strength in me and a side and strength in herself that she never knew existed.
The biggest lesson that I learned this year is that there is really nothing better than the feeling that you get when you surprise yourself. When you're put in a situation that forces you to use more strength than you think you have, you'll probably end up finding it somewhere. Before last year, I never thought that I could be the type of person who could survive a year of cancer. That sort of thing was reserved for the Lance Armstrongs of the world and I was just a girl who was too scared to even get on a bike (still am). Here's something that you maybe don't realize about dealing with cancer (or any horrible disease, for that matter) until you're thrown up against it - you are going to do whatever you need to do to get through it because you don't really have a choice.
Something else I learned - sometimes you'll be surprised by others and it can be better than surprising yourself. For me, I was forced to put my guard down and face the fact that I wasn't going to be able to get through this on my own. I was going to have to trust my friends to love me enough to not think of me as a burden and I had to trust my family to not treat me like I was defective. What I got to take away from this year is that nothing is more important than having people in your life who genuinely care for you. I'm not talking about the kind of person who is going to ask how you're doing. I'm talking about the kind of person who is going to help you get to a place where you can be happy with the answer to that question. Those are the people who should really matter in your life.
I learned a lot this year, more than I could ever put into words. I learned how to be vulnerable. I learned how to be strong and I learned how to pretend to be strong. I learned that your body doesn't owe you anything. I learned that we worry over a lot of stupid shit but that everybody has the right to their own worries, as long as you keep things in perspective. I'm also learning that, after denying it for 33 years, maybe my mom and I are more alike than I've ever admitted.
So I guess I get it when my mom says that this year that nobody would ever wish on anyone has probably been the best year of her life. Learning to understand yourself and what's important in your life can be absolutely euphoric. Like I said, I'm just feeling really mushy tonight and it has nothing to do with drinking too much tequila or any latent 90210 nostalgia.
