White spots on my ferment...
Guys I have some white specs on the top of my brew...this is a new batch called Sin City Lager, not sure if it is contaminated or not? Thoughts? I can snap a pic (which I should have done at first) if needed.

Are you sure it's not just a few yeast colonies starting to form? As you suggest, a photo or two would probably help.

RE: White spots....
What stage of the brewing process is the beer in? Are you starting fermentation? Is it finished? More info would be needed to try to help.

Hi. Any advice or recommendations on this would be greatly appreciated.
To make this easier to read I'll organize my post into bullet-points...
1)-I plan on using whatever headphones I purchase for listening to music directly from a HP g7-1338dx laptop, un-amped.
2)-Most of my music is 320kbps. I usually don't get anything lower than 192kbps. Everything is mp3, I don't have FLAC files.
3)-I listen for long periods of time (5hrs is common). So ear fatigue from "intense sound" is an issue. I would prefer uncomfortable phones over phones that fatigue your ears with sound.
4)-I have some v-moda in-ear buds (not sure which model, they're not made anymore. They were ~$85 five years ago.) And I find them to be too bass-heavy.
5)-The music I would listen to would be Deep house/progressive house. Songs with deep, dark "rolling" bass. (I'll include some links to examples of what I'm trying to describe.)
6)-When I say electronic music, people tend to assume I mean hyperactive dance music where all that matters is a thumping beat. That's not the case.
7)-As i said, v-moda earbuds were too bass-oriented for me. I want bass, but I want it to be a sensible amount. Kind of like Goldilocks and the three bears.
8)-These links below are to the type of stuff I listen to. I emphasized "deep, dark rolling bass" because I feel that a bass-heavy headphone would be too intense. Yes, I realize they're Youtube and poor quality.
9)-I was thinking either Grado SR80i or ATH-M50. Would one of these be better than the other? Or perhaps could anyone recommend something else for this type of music?
Thanks. And I apologize for the huge wall of text. I wanted to include all the factors that I could.

The atomic bombs that dropped on Japan in 1945 inspired movie director Ishiro Honda to give the world the big, bad, grey monster, born of irresponsible nuclear weapons tests that we know to this day as Godzilla. Godzilla was, quite literally, the personification of humanity's science and technology gone bad. The message was simple: With atomic weapons, we had unleashed a monster that was beyond our ability to control.
In the West, Godzilla's cautionary tale (and tail) never really took hold. To Americans, Godzilla was just a guy in a rubber suit stepping on model houses. But that's not to say that the West hasn't had its own cinematic symbol of science run amuck. Instead of giant irradiated monsters, our preferred poison has been flesh-eating zombies.
Until George Romero's landmark 1968 film, Night of the Living Dead, zombies in movies usually were created from voodoo or magic (or aliens, as featured in Ed Wood's groundbreakingly awful Plan 9 From Outer Space.) Romero gave us brain-munching corpses produced from a space probe blowing up in the atmosphere. Once again, the monsters were created by our out-of-control technology.
Night of the Living Dead didn't spawn an immediate clutch of imitators, possibly because it came in the midst of America's race to the moon and most people were hopeful about advances in science. But when Romero returned with Dawn of the Dead in 1978, that optimism had already begun to fade. By 1984′s C.H.U.D., disasters such as Three Mile Island had primed the movie-going public for the idea of a horde of killer zombies created by nuclear waste.
Along with nuclear waste and mysterious space-borne radiation, pandemic plagues have also spawned zombies. This zombie type has become the dominant movie form over the last few decades, no doubt a reaction to AIDS, Ebola, cloning, genetically modified foods and the remainder of the brave new world of biotechnology.
It seems you can't throw a half-eaten cerebrum these days without hitting a posse of zombies brought to life by some kind of biological mishap (28 Days Later, Resident Evil, Planet Terror, Quarantine). Like Godzilla, zombies keep up with the times, always ready to mirror whatever aspect of science and technology people feel most uncertain about at the moment.
But there's one major difference between Godzilla and the attack of the zombies: Godzilla fought scientists and the military (and maybe the occasional band of adorable children), but zombie battles usually are a person-to-ex-person struggle. While Godzilla swatted at planes and crushed tanks underfoot, zombies are done in by weapons such as shotguns, hand grenades and the ever-handy chainsaw.
Americans must like the idea that, as out of control as our hubristic science might become, a good machete and a 12 gauge in the hands of a competent man or woman can always save the day. The 2003 bestselling title, The Zombie Survival Guide, offers the same message of self-reliance. (I'm not sure what lesson we can take from the success of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.)
To be sure, it's easy to read more into the popularity of zombies than might actually be there. Film-goers have always loved a good scare, and a shambling collection of neuron-challenged corpses make a pretty terrifying story. And if my zombie-obsessed 14-year-old son is a representative sample, blowing the undead away with heavy weaponry has a solid adolescent demographic appeal. But there's no question, at least in my mind, that zombies (and Godzilla) are an allegorical representation of our fear that science and the technologies it spawn will lead to our destruction.
Who knows what the future may hold for zombie evolution? But it's a pretty good bet that whatever we're uncomfortable with at the moment stands a good chance of turning into the next zombie-generator. Blackberry-spawned abominations, anyone? Dawn of the Single-Payer Healthcare Undead? What about, They Came From H1N1?

Most people come to therapy for depression, and this is usually after a loss. We look to see what that loss might have been and with your courage and my compassion, we do the grief work that is needed. Other people have suffered from "over control." That is, they have adopted unrealistic standards of self-control and perfectionism and find it impossible to fully embrace themselves. We work to help them with this task. Still others have depression as anger turned inwards. They find that when they are finally able to get in touch with their walled-off anger, they are able to feel less depressed.
5560 Sterrett Pl. #205, Columbia, Maryland 21044
Although their are various symptoms attributed to depression, at its core it involves a loss of one's sense of passion and purpose in living. I help people recover their lost sense of passion and purpose by helping them look deep inside themselves for what they have lost. It is not easy work, but it is very rewarding. Once this work is done, the symptoms of depression are no longer needed.

I have a great deal of experience helping clients who are going through feelings and symptoms of depression and/or anxiety. I use a variety of ways to guide clients to feel more content and happy. I use cognitive therapy with clients who tend to be perfectionists and/or are self-critical. I use gestalt therapy with clients who need to more fully express their feelings. I use hypnosis with clients who need to get in better touch with their inner strengths. Everyone deserves to feel good inside.

I approach Depression from several angles. 1)Lifestyle changes (adequate sleep, exercise, nutrition, fun activities), 2) Underlying beliefs about oneself that contribute to low self-esteem and shame, 3) Positive support system of friends and family, and 3) The possible need for medication or natural supplements if there seems to be a true brain chemistry imbalance that cannot be fully addressed just with regular therapy. I have found that ALL of these areas must be addressed in order to effectively treat Depression.

There are many forms of depression. Some people have a major depression needing both counseling and perhaps medication. Other people come in with low level depression or situational form following a loss or perhaps a trauma. Some people need to process their situation and see it from a different perspective along with exercise, connecting with other people, joining support groups, focusing on moments when they felt strong and competent. I will design, along with you, strategies to help manage the depression and bring hope back into your life.

This was the first perfume I ever smelt that made me think 'wow'. They stopped making it though so I use my bottle sparingly. It's aptly named 'Fire Me Up'. There's something very energising and edible about it. It's a sweet, blood orange scent. Unlike most Avon scents, the silage and longevity are moderate (as opposed weak).
More calmly, I return to write about the wonders of Avon Fire Me Up cause contact with the skin, and, by the way, what wonders, huh ?! Nobody gives almost nothing to these fragrances launched in the middle of nowhere and marketed in the country through retailers using illustrative brochures. The Color Scents collection introduced by Avon a few years ago came to deconstruct a lot of pre-formed concepts about resistance to acquire a tract of perfume, and in the country. I know all the collection and advance that no sin in NOTHING because they are well designed and fit in the categories B.B.B. (good, nice and cheap)! Well, Fire Me Up opens with a Cherries explosion in tails that resemble the abundant tables of Christmas dinner, bringing a vibrant and intense sweetness that is associated with pulp and seeds of the pomegranate in serving fresh and juicy state, with also touches citrus but a citrus which is not sweet, similar to orange-the-earth; its opening is large and monster projection. After the fragrance becomes more citrus and sharp because of the violet nuances that give a more imposing feature the same, but without losing the innocent and happy aspect which it conveys, always keeping with a youthful spirit and coquettish; Here the projection increases twice more. Finally, Fire Me Up parting and musky, with dried roots of Vetiver and propulsion Amber creamy and subtle snapping up the wonderful end of this captivating fragrance simple that only sporting her bottle at the earliest.
Word of the Day: confidence... (day 17)
It definitely smelled better on paper. The notes I got from it were amber and headache. It was very heavy to me. Not fresh at all. Perhaps slightly tart at first spray. I wanted it to smell more like pomegranate.
Basically a dirty dark orange/cherry skin scent. Loved it in my teen years made me feel dark & seductive then, not now though. Still pleasant memories. I recall teen boys my age liking it at the time. It has that something about it, warm & fruity but dark feeling also. You have to have the correct skin scent to pull it off and have freshly showered before application. I imagine if you don't it will be very unpleasant as it is a skin cloying scent.
Cherry, cherry and more cherry. I feel like a giant wild cherry tootsie pop. Yikes!
I don't get any of the notes listed above. What I get is cherries, red berries and vanilla.
The fragrance remains the same from start to end, and for me is extremely sweet, synthetic and nauseating. It also smells cheap, and I say that having already tested and liked many fragrances from Avon (in fact, they make one of my favorites).
I loved this so much. I'm VERY picky when it comes to my perfumes. I don't like floral, vanilla, or amber. I like fruity and sometimes sweet. Although it says this perfume had amber, I really didn't mind. It reminded me of a spicy cherry.
I work in a charity shop and this came in one day. I'm not sure how old it was, but i feel like it was very old because it stunk! smelt kind of like rotting fruits and licorice.
Ugh this smells SO disgusting and cheap. When I first bought this scent, I loved it because it was fruity but also spicy. Now when I smell this, all I smell is this peppery type of smell and I don't really like the smell of peppers too much so this is a no-go for me. I hate this so much that I don't even wear the little amount of this that I have left (and I'm talking about the whole bottle almost being gone).
Avon Fire Me Up is woody, fruity, and citrusy. Fire Me Up opens with blood orange and grapefruit then dries down to warm amber with a touch of violet. It reminds me of a dirty pomegranate in a good way! I wore it all the time when I first got it, but if you like blood orange and grapefruit then I would recommend Lady Million by Paco Rabanne or Marc Jacobs Eau So Fresh. Overall considering that this is from Avon, it's a pretty good fragrance!
Summer temps have arrived in Lexington, Kentucky and I'm pulling my favorite summer fragrances to the front of the shelves. Ah, "Fire Me Up", one of the most cheerful of the bunch. How I've missed you!
Sweet? Of course! But try to name a cheerful fragrance that's not sweet. Come on, I dare you.
The notes above are most definitely wrong; the box lists pomegranate, black cherry and amber - c'est tout. But who needs more when this lush, sparkling, fresh red fruit wonder tastes, I mean smells, so delightful?
True, lasting power is just 4-6 hours but I think that's about right for summer when frequent showers are the norm for me. Simple and linear: the juicy sweetness you sniff at first spray is what remains throughout - no fading of top notes nor wait time for base notes to develop.
The essence of happy summer days in a pretty little red bottle with a sunshine yellow cap.
I use it as an air freshner for my room at res. Its just too sweet to have it on me
I detest this perfume. All it smells like is candy. Too sweet and overpowering. Sometimes i feel that whenever i wear this there is a not so pleasant halo around me.Smells like a cheap bubblegum I would never recomend this to anyone. Avon's worst.
Oh my! Such a sweet treat! This is fruit and candy and every time I smell this on someone, I want to eat them up.
This is fruit punch with a little musk and amber to offset the sweetness. I don't remember all the notes, but I do remember the description in the Avon catalog say, "bold, spiked cherry"; cherry/orange notes were predominant. Staying power is very good considering I got it for $5. I miss it and I wish I didn't give it away!
i would love to buy this perfume so tell me the price and how to proceed further since when i m trying to buy this perfume, tell me more about this product, flavour smell how many types of frangrance is available with u nw
my id is [email protected]
and my number is 9819218771
It's Very Sweet Smelling, But In A Good Way , And I Use It All The Time.
It smells like a fruit, not a parfume. I get hungry when I smell it.
I really love this one! When I spray Fire Me Up I get a feast of summer fruit cocktail, and I imagine i'm in some sexy and dirty salsa club on a hot summer night in Spain! It is a deliciously summery smell, and it's not too cloying in hot weather. I got this for a bargain price, so i'm very pleased!
Edit: I dont understand the dislike for this one! I have lost count of the amount of guys and girls who ask me what i'm wearing and they tell me how delicious i smell!
To my nose there`s firs blood orange and some other crispy citrus.After that I smell amber and coconut (I know there`s no coconut).This stays a while on my skin, 4-6 hours.Very easy to wear,lovely holiday scent,but really nothing special.
I like the smell of this one. Its extremely fruity, I dont get any other scents off it other than just plain fruit. But it gives me a horrible headache, so I gave it to my mom. She loves it.
yummy! i get pure orange juice from this! if a tall glass of Tropicana could somehow morph into a mango-scented votive candle or fantasy island accord- this would be it! quite an impressive sillage for a fruity or citrus perfume, which is saying something nowadays. this fresh, tangy juice lingers on my skin & clothes quite happily. Avon, I am impressed!
Being that there's debate over the notes, to my nose this leans to the Citrus side of things- blood orange, grapefruit & all. don't really get cherry from this per se, and certainly not amber or vanilla. Regardless, 'Fire me up' is delicious, tropical & youthful.
I got this perfume yesterday. I hadn't smelled this perfume before buying. When it arrived in my courier which was sent from Avon in my order, I smelled it enthusiastically. When my husband smelled it, he said "chewing gum". Its true though - this does smell like bubblegum or candy. However, smell's not annoying so I am going to wear it occassionally.
Fire me up...huh! I get nothing hot or warm about this one at all, (it IS flammable though) and at one point I had all three of the ones mentioned below and have gifted them all away. They are nice enough but rather young for me and very sweet (with the exception of Make Me Smile)...
I too, expected something closer to the brochures description(pomeagranates, dark cherries, violets, vanilla-amber) and when I saw it on here was glad it had blood orange and citrus instead of pomegranate or cherries. But, the nose knows what it knows: and I only get hints of some juicy vague citrus and LOTS of cherries (maraschino cherries at that)-sweet, then kinda darker and boozy. There is some violet here, just a whisper at first, then quite detectable. The drydown confuses me as amber and vanilla should be smooth and warm with a resiny oriental feel, and here I only sense a plastic sweetness and hint of imitation vanilla. I gave this and its two sister scents to my good friend's 13 year old daughter after someone stole her large Hearts and Daggers out of her locker and she loves it (and the other two)...so there you have it-everyone is happy: her to have it, and me to be rid of it...
Sillage: not bad
Longevity: moderate
Overall: 2.5/5
Don't get me wrong here, folks...It is probably not as bad as I make it sound if you like synthetic fruity gourmands that stay pretty linear, and dry down powdery and sweet. This is just not for me, and I love YR Cerise Bigareau (sp?)!
I wear it ocasionally when I feel like fun and teasing.... i don´t take it seriously.
smells like popsycles!childish but sets you in a good mood...
I don't smell any of the notes listed above. I just smell lots of cherry and a little vanilla. It smells almost exactly like Victoria's Secret Passionate Kisses Body Spray. Big Red Lollie Pop. Me Likeee!!
Lets take a trip down memory lane, to the good ol' days of "cherryade"
That nauseatingly pink liquid that stained everything within a 5mile radius and gave you the infamous,stupid 'cherryade lips' syndrome, with enough E numbers to propel you into space!!
This is the nostalgia of Fire Me Up (minus the E numbers and staining abilities)
I do not detect any notes pyramid with this one. Plain and simple. The top is cherryade, the middle is cherryade and the base is cherryade.
I do love this scent for hot summer days and evenings when i dont want to be bogged down with a fussy and complicated scent surrounding me (and others)
So if you fancy a nostalgic and very fruity kick,then look no further :)
Incidentally...men seem to like and gravitate towards this fragrance!!
You leave behind a trail of scent followed by a trail of men,following in the trail of scent you leave behind ;)
I have the perfume fire me up is very good use throughout the day and I have our three very good
Really nice surprise!!! I never liked Avon perfumes but this one is very pleasant, for me it's Midnight Fantasy young brother!!!
Pomegranate, cherry and amber. A little different from the notes above, uh?
I like it, no matter it's an "Avão" (Pável, you know what I mean, hehe).
Yeah, a nice choice for day-by-day.
Another unsmelled Ebay purchase, as part of a three perfume lot (Make Me Wonder, Fire Me Up, Make Me Smile). I wanted to try Make Me Wonder and I could get the 3 pack really cheap, so I figured what the heck. I'm glad I did. Though Make Me Smile isn't a favorite of mine, both Make Me Wonder and Fire Me Up.
I was confused when I read the notes here. I don't smell citrus, which is a good thing because I'm not usually a fan. It smells like red berries to me, with a bit of a kick to it. It's a nice scent because of how the blend of amber and vanilla compliments the berries, but it's not exceptional in any way.
All three of the scents in this line have the fault of not lasting well, which is a shame. I also believe I'd enjoy this perfume more if it had a bit more of a kick to it. Some pepper perhaps, or something else that could give this a bit of "wow." As is, it's nice enough for occasional wear.
Na saída ele tem um aroma que lembra algum doce e meio cítrico também, depois fica evidente o aroma de cereja, em suma uma combinação deliciosa !!
I was impressed by this. Avon did good with this one.
The description on the avon website is "luscious ruby red pomegranate spiked with bold black cherry and the sensuality of amber", so I was expecting a sweet cherry scent. Instead, the first hour or so on me is a very sour grapefruit and pomegranate combination. It does soften a bit into what I guess is a black cherry scent, although I'm not sure I would've thought so if I had not previously read avon's description. I get no vanilla from this at all. Right now I'm disappointed, but I can see that this might grow on me. The lasting power was excellent: eight hours later I could still detect the scent.
Initially with this fragrance I pick up on the pomegranate and blood orange, then after the dry-down it becomes a very fresh scent that reminds me of pure fresh outdoor air. I love this now.
Smell like a kind of chewinggum, but i like it, than make me smile.
i bought it as my
"emerency perfume to have in my handbag"
not my fave, but def. pretty as a day scent.
I love this one. Smells like a luscious garden of cherries!
i didnt like it, it was sour and very citrus
it smells better on paper..kinda intoxicating but not necessarilly in the good way. but my mom likes it:)

The upcoming Doctor Who Experience exhibition will be home to not just NuWho artifacts, but also a huge collection from the good ol' days.
Speaking to SFX, BBC Managing Director of Live Entertainment Philip Murphy commented,
"We've gone into the archives of the production and the sets. We've got things like the original Bernard Bresslaw Ice Warrior costume. There's a lot of stuff that never has been seen before in exhibitions. But obviously there is a limit to what you can do. For example, we can't feature every companion. We've only got a selection of companion costumes, because over 47 years there are just too many."
But perhaps we'll at least get to see Sarah Jane's yellow raincoat, and maybe a plastic mold of Peri Brown's skin (she never wore anything, did she?). And if they don't have Ace's jacket, we should boycott.
And of course, we can't forget the full size replica of Peter Davison's TARDIS interior for guests to explore… we may just skip the costumes altogether and spend our entire visit flying through the vortex!
Read the full interview with Philip Murphy here.
The Doctor Who Experience opens to the public this February in London before establishing a final, long-lasting nest in Cardiff.

Xbox 360 Inventory Tracker
Still don't have a 360? If it's because the stores around you keep running out, you're in luck. This application will tell you when your local retailers will get their next shipment of Xbox 360s.
This app automatically checks your local BestBuy, Circuit City, and FutureShop's website for the XBOX 360 Premiums at a time interval you specify and alerts you via Text-Message and/or Email. This is intended for those who really don't have the time to frequently check on those online-store trackers, and would prefer to be seamlessly alerted when an XBOX 360 premium is in-stock at a near-by store.
We eagerly await a beta version for the Playstation 3.
(Thanks, munkyxtc!)

Parotid tumor07/15/2008 |
I was diagnosed of having a 1 1/2 cm (or mm) parotid tumor and I am going for a fine needle biopsy. If it is not cancerous, can I just watch and wait? I never knew anything about this until the doctor diagnosed it through a CT scan. Feeling it does not hurt, and I do not want to risk surgery if I do not have to. If I do not have the surgery, what do you think the outcome will be?

Brownwood businesses decorating for Lion pride
BROWNWOOD, Texas - Businesses in Brownwood are being asked to show their Lion pride.
The Brownwood Lions Mothers' Club is asking local businesses to decorate the windows on their business to support the Lions football team.
"We just want to support the Brownwood Lion football team, and we want to join the community in that support," said Suzanne Faircloth, assisted living admissions coordinator at the Chatfield.
"We have so many residents that go to the games every Friday, and just want to stay involved," said Lacie Henry, director of rehab at Oak Ridge Manor.
All local businesses are invited to decorate their windows in Lion attire for a contest.
Henry said this is their way of giving support back to the Lions football team who supports them.
"They came in August and had dinner with us, and they adopted our residents, and they still come back on a weekly basis and spend time with their adopted grandparent," said Henry.
"The boys come and bring us pictures, bring their girlfriends, we enjoy that a lot, I do," said Betty George, Oak Ridge Manor resident.
Faircloth said community support is important to their staff and residents at the Chatfield.
"There are residents, staff, or their children have or are a Brownwood Lion, and once a Lion, always a Brownwood Lion," said Faircloth.
A plaque will be presented to the winning business at the last football game of the regular season.

Crystal Palace boosted their Coca-Cola Championship survival hopes with a deserved 1-0 victory over Sheffield United in Paul Hart's first game in charge.
Hart was appointed as the Eagles' new boss this week following Neil Warnock's switch to London rivals QPR and the former Portsmouth manager saw his reign get off to the best possible start as Alan Lee grabbed the only goal of the game midway through the first half.
United are looking to secure a play-off place but they barely threatened Eagles goalkeeper Julian Speroni on their way to a sixth successive away defeat.
Lee put Palace ahead in the 23rd minute as he coolly volleyed past Mark Bunn from Danny Butterfield's superb right-wing cross.
The hosts created the better opportunities thereafter but were unable to put the game to bed with a second goal.
Yet it mattered not as they held on to their slender advantage with relative ease in the closing stages.
Hart made two changes to the Palace side that drew 1-1 with Doncaster in Warnock's final game in charge, with Johannes Ertl and Calvin Andrew starting in place of Matt Lawrence and Kieran Djilali.
Stephen Quinn replaced Henri Camara in the only alteration to the United line-up.
Neither goalkeeper was troubled early on as both sides struggled for fluency in blustery conditions.
But when a clear-cut chance did finally arrive, it was clinically dispatched by Palace striker Lee.
Butterfield floated over a delightful cross from the right and Lee - making his 300th league start - was on hand to slot home a right-footed finish from close range.
Andrew had an opportunity to extend the Eagles' lead soon after, but the young forward fired wildly off target from a promising position.
United were struggling to offer any attacking threat and the home side looked increasingly comfortable as the half wore on, with the powerful Andrew causing all sorts of problems.
The Blades eventually called Speroni into action in the 41st minute as Jamie Ward diverted a Mark Yeates free-kick into the arms of the Palace goalkeeper.
Lee and Kyle Bartley were forced off shortly before the break following a clash of heads, but both men were able to continue following treatment.
United picked up the pace at the start of the second half, but Palace came close to scoring again in the 53rd minute as Darren Ambrose tested Bunn from 12 yards.
Lee then fired over from six yards following good work from Nick Carle on the left and the impressive Andrew also saw another chance go begging as he missed the target with a header from Ambrose's cross.
The visitors huffed and puffed late on in search of an equaliser but Speroni remained relatively untroubled in the Palace goal.
And Ambrose almost added a second for Palace when he saw a free-kick parried clear by Bunn.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen finish No. 2 on Forbes list
Poor Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen. Yes, the gold-plated pair earned $72 million last year, but that was only good enough for No. 2 on Forbes.com's annual list of the world's highest-paid celebrity couples. The horror! Brady and Bundchen were bumped from the No. 1 spot by Beyonce and Jay-Z, who made a whopping $78 million between May 2011 and May 2012. How did Tom and Gi make their mountain of money? Her haul comes from modeling gigs, endorsement deals, and licensing ventures, and his comes from his Pats contract, and lucrative endorsement deals with Under Armour and UGG Boots. Other couples on the list include David Beckham and Victoria Beckham ($54 million), Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ($45 million) and Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith ($40 million).

Posts Tagged 'cats'
I suppose I should use the fact that I have cats to greater blogging opportunity.
For the first year together, Midnight and Stormy used to fight all of the time, so this picture of them together represents a sea change. Not that they don't fight occasionally, or, truthfully, nearly daily, but they have learned to tolerate each other.
We're convinced that they spend a good deal of time on the dining room table Read the rest of this entry »
The Wife has an iPad she got from work. But it is the Daughter who has really taken to it, playing music, making short videos, and taking pictures. All the photos in this post are hers.
Since I have the pics and I haven't written about the beasts recently, here's the update.
Midnight is my cat. This is not MY determination; it is his. He sleeps in our bed quite often, on my side. If I'm sitting, reading a book or watching TV, he'll sit next to me, with one paw on my lap. I wonder if it's the fact that we're the two males in the household.
He tolerates the others in the family, and a few others, but he is wary of strangers. They certainly ought not try to pick him up, as he's clawed a couple people already. Read the rest of this entry »

The new wrinkle: she's now allergic to cats.
As noted, we got two cats last year. Read the rest of this entry »
I had previously mentioned our cat Midnight, who we got March 23 when he was two months, two days old. What I have not mention is that we subsequently got Stormy, back on August 15, when she was two months old to the day, as a companion for Midnight.
Midnight was instantly hostile to Stormy, even when we had her in a cage, or him in the cage, in order that they get to know each other better. And after she got fixed, we continued to separate them for fear that he might hurt her.
So this is how it worked: two feeding stations, two litter boxes, one in the kitchen, one in the Daughter's room. The cats would alternate being in the room or the rest of the house. This was really a pain to maintain. And when the one in the room got out, there was a lot of drama in the house until the recapture.

Pesticides in the Modern World - Effects of Pesticides Exposure
Edited by Margarita Stoytcheva, ISBN 978-953-307-454-2, 388 pages, Publisher: InTech, Chapters published September 12, 2011 under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 license
Edited Volume
The introduction of the synthetic organochlorine, organophosphate, carbamate and pyrethroid pesticides by 1950's marked the beginning of the modern pesticides era and a new stage in the agriculture development. Evolved from the chemicals designed originally as warfare agents, the synthetic pesticides demonstrated a high effectiveness in preventing, destroying or controlling any pest. Therefore, their application in the agriculture practices made it possible enhancing crops and livestock's yields and obtaining higher-quality products, to satisfy the food demand of the continuously rising world's population. Nevertheless, the increase of the pesticide use estimated to 2.5 million tons annually worldwide since 1950., created a number of public and environment concerns. This book, organized in two sections, addresses the various aspects of the pesticides exposure and the related health effects. It offers a large amount of practical information to the professionals interested in pesticides issues.

There are plenty of good reasons to buy food and other items in bulk: You'll pay less in the long run, and you'll also cut back on wasteful packaging. In fact, bulk items reduce waste up to 90 percent by volume and 75 percent by weight over single-serving portions. And there are many creative ways to repackage bulk items for everyday use in your home. Keep bulk cereal, beans, and other dry goods in glass containers for easy access.
When heated, plastic containers can break down and leach chemicals into food. Reusable, durable lidded glass ones are safer for your family and the planet. Use them to store leftovers or dry goods like pasta and beans.
Save energy by turning the thermostat on your water heater down 5 degrees. Then install an AirTap from AirGenerate. It's a device that conserves large amounts of energy by drawing heat from the ambient air to warm your water.
To prevent winter's cold weather from turning your concrete foundation into 40 tons of refrigeration, Peter Lytle, founder of the Minnesota-based Live Green, Live Smart Institute suggests taking on the sizable project of adding a 2-inch layer of Styrofoam 4 feet below ground around the house. (Be sure the local utilities mark the gas and electric lines coming into your house before you dig.) Styrofoam, you ask? It makes sense because it's a stable, inert product that doesn't leach chemicals underground (it breaks down only when exposed to UV light or certain bacteria).
Analyzing everything from your basement to attic, an energy audit pinpoints where you're losing energy and how to make a home much more efficient. Because the auditor can prioritize what changes offer the highest payback, following the suggestions can save serious money and energy.
Machine-wash clothes, especially outer layers such as jeans and sweatshirts, only when they're truly dirty. Line-dry your laundry whenever possible. (If your towels or jeans are stiff after hanging on the clothesline, set the dryer to "air fluff" and pop them in for just a few minutes.)
Is there an alternative to tossing your unwanted electronics, other than letting them pile up in the attic? Yes. If your computer is less than five years old and in working condition, consider donating it (and any peripherals) to a nonprofit organization.
If your old phone powers up and the outside is intact, Green Phone will pay you for it. Visit their website and find your model to see how much you'll get -- usually between $1 and $10. Fill out a form online, print a prepaid shipping label, and send it. You'll receive a check in about three weeks. Green Phone also plants a tree for every phone it buys and recycles broken models free of charge.

BALTIMORE — Baltimore police say they received a false report about a suspicious person at Under Armour headquarters.
Police spokesman Det. Brandon Echevarria said that authorities received a call about a suspicious person today, but after searching the building they believe it was a false call.
Echevarria says the SWAT team evacuated employees who were inside the building today. Officers cleared the building and didn't find anything suspicious. He says no one was hurt.
Echevarria says: "When people make these false calls it's very serious because of the power it takes to investigate it."
Under Armour's corporate headquarters is based in a warehouse-style building in south Baltimore along the Inner Harbor.
Under Armour made its name in making body-clinging "compression" clothing.

It's really that simple. But lately I've been rejecting about two posts a week because they're missing the point a bit. And this makes me sad, because I get excited to read every new post in the queue, and then I'm all disappointed when I realise I can't approve it, especially if we haven't had a new post in a while.
This is already in the rules, but let's clarify over here too, maybe it'll help.
( once more with feelingCollapse )
Edit: an example of a pretty typical rejected post below.
( I can't help but wonder if he still thinks about me.Collapse )
So, I recently let my friend, G, move in with me as a kind of temporary thing. He lost his job in Janruary, and then his roommate moved out, so he was kind of screwed. G is 29, has two cats, and a two-year-old son who stays with us on the weekends. I also have two cats and a bearded dragon, so our two-bedroom apartment has two adults, occassionally a small child, four cats, and a lizard. We've been friends for about 7 years, and his best friend was my first boyfriend. There's been a lot of issues, and I'm getting to the end of my rope. I've been trying very hard to find a way to diplomatically bring some of this stuff up, but every time I play it over in my mind it ends with me losing it and I don't particularily want to damage our friendship. I'll start with the minor stuff, and then start working my way up.
( Cut for length, bad parenting, etc. etc.Collapse )
The last point I really have no idea how to deal with at all. I feel like how someone raises their child is none of my business, but he's just... so bad at it. I don't know if I should bring it up to the kids mom (who I'm not really friends with, but we used to hang out years ago and I have her on Facebook), or if she's already well aware of it because they used to live together and I don't imagine G was any better then (unless he left everything to the mom, which I suppose is possible).
I really don't want to ruin our friendship (assuming, after he moves out, if he ever finds a job, I'll want to hang out with him. Right now I'm just kind of 'ugh, this guy again.'). But I feel really bad for his kid, and it's getting to the point where I just... don't want to be home at all. I've definitely hung out at work for four hours after I've closed up shop just playing on my phone because I didn't want to come home a few times before.
So, around 8 or so months ago, my best friend of 8 or 9 years confessd he was in love with me. I've never felt the same, so, I tell him so and try to have a conversation about it. I think it's fixed, though, there are, of course, wounds from doing such a thing. As time goes on, his attitude becomes more and more sour, his remarks becoming more and more insulting. I give it all a pass since he's undestandably upset and likely just not thinking. However, upon the 8th month mark, he says something that just pisses me off entirely too much and I tell him, "Hey, look, you can go if you want, but, regardless, I'm not having this conversation with you. You've been really rude for months now and maybe I should just give you your space." This was on the telephone - he doesn't reply to this, but simply he hangs up. I get even more pissed. Anyway, fast-forward a month and a half. We've not spoken since. I decide to contact him after some urging of one of my friends and I tell him something along the lines of, 'we should talk and i miss you,' and he replies promptly. With a funny photo and telling me how much it amuses him. Not even, 'hey, i missed you, too,' or 'hey, i haven't spoken to you in awhile,' or, 'i'm sorry i acted that way.' Just complete ignorance.
Am I wrong in wanting to push him down a flight of stairs?
I've discussed this with a few friends but they all seem to think I'm being a bit harsh, but, they're biased as fuck because they want me to have some 'true love/childhood friend' shit going on. And he's wealthy, so, they're tying to vicariously live through me and it's just pissing me off...
The thing is, I don't tell people I miss them. Ever. I've told him that maybe 3-4 times in 8 years. I've hugged him less than 10 times. I've never held his hand. I'm notoriously not affectionate, but, that's also because I don't feel that way towards him. He had the nerve to complain, during this 8-month period, that I don't 'show my emotions.' And that's true - I don't. But he doesn't get that, in his case, it's because I have none for him.
The way I see it is I simply massaged his ego by tellng him I missed him and he was eager to get 'back on track.' If he was anyone else, I'd simply tell him our friendship is over, but, he has been my friend for such a long time, I'm feeling so disgustingly sentimental about someone that seems more interested in their poor feelings than the reality of a sitaution.
I'd just like some second opinions. I know I can be harsh as hell and, quite honestly, his behavior has already made him much less important to me. I don't know if I should pursue this 'friendship' because, in my opinion, he doesn't seem capable of 'letting it go.' I don't even think I should have to be 'forgiven,' yet he seems to think I owe him something or that he's justified in his reactions.
Do you think that someone who knowingly gets involved with a person who is already taken is just as bad as the cheater, or does all the responsibility fall on the person who is actually in a relationship?
So I was basically set up by my mother with her neighbor's son who lives across the country.
I wasn't asked if I was interested or anything... I'm perfectly content being single, but I guess being single and 30 means I'm desperate or need assistance.
We literally have nothing in common except both being single. Oh and I'm not attracted to him in any way... I was put on the spot when he sent me a picture when he called me, which was very uncomfortable!
Now I'm not exactly sure what he was told by the mothers, but he did see my pictures before hand. He's very much interested and I'm very much not interested in anything more than friends. He's pretty forward and definitely not shy...
My mind is very much made up, but I've honestly never had to do this before and I know I need to do it sooner rather than later. So I could use tips...
I tend to freeze up on the phone and not say what I need to get out. I know phone is better, but would a text be horrible?
I'm trying so hard not to lead him on in any way, so 8 know I need to resolve this asap!
Whats everyones thoughts about a femal@e proposing to her s/o?
Edit: this is a male female relationship in which the male would usually propose to the female. The female is the one who would like to propose.
Now however if the LGBT community is in here, when you plan on getting married how do you choose who will propose? I would assume it would be either of you when whichever one of you feels ready. But for the sake of this post if you were to choose who would it be?
EDIT #2: I asked ryan ( my s/o) as well as ask men on reddit, how they would feel of their s/o ( female) proposed to them. Users of reddit were all for it aside from the few who would feel emasculated. Which was a great responce. I love all those men for their responces. Ryan on the other hand. I asked him Earlier today if he would be my long term fiance being that he does not want to be married anytime soon. He said no and he aaid me asking ( if i were being serious which i wasnt ) would make him feel emasculated so that idea is out the window.
I will be adding an edit with more questions after I get a few responces.
The guy I'm with (kind of with...on the verge of breaking up with...) is an ex-weed user. He used to smoke many times a week, but stopped when a good friend of his got in a lot of trouble for it.
He was not the typical guy I would go for, just because of his past. I decided I would overlook it and give him a chance. I made it VERY clear on the FIRST day of our relationship that if weed was brought back into the picture, we would not be in a relationship anymore.
I had several people ask me about his habits, and I told them that he was done as far as I knew, and that if he started again, we would end.
About a month into the relationship, he used weed behind my back. My instinct kicked in and I called him that night, and told him I had a feeling he was hiding something from me. Sure enough, he smoked. I let it go this one time...I asked him to not do it again. He promised.
Now, flash forward two months and we are here. A few days ago, I got a text from an old friend telling me that she had heard that my boyfriend was still doing weed. I confronted him about it, very gently, and he said he absolutely did not. I bawled after that and asked him to promise me that he wouldn't make me lose him to drugs. He promised.
Last night, he stopped texting me at about 10:30 without saying goodnight. This was abnormal, but I let it go.
I woke up this morning to a text saying, "Sorry, I fell asleep."
Flash forward to a few hours ago (around 11:30 PM). He called me in absolute tears apologizing and saying that he had lied to me. He said "I didn't really go to sleep last night. A friend came over..."
At this point, I asked if he smoked weed. He replied yes.
Safe to say we both broke down and cried.
I feel like I have to keep my word this time. If I let him keep lying to me, I'll never be able to trust him again. I also fear he'll lie to girls he dates down the line since he thinks it's okay. He bragged before about what a great liar he was, I suppose this should've been a warning. I was his first girlfriend, though.
This guy is such a sweetheart. He has an incredible personality, and on top of that, is gorgeous.
I am almost 18, while he is almost 17. I don't know what to do. I want to break up, just because I don't want to sit back and say "it's alright. You lied to me before, and I gave you another chance. You lied to me again, here, I'll give you another chance." At the same time, I don't, because he treats me well otherwise. I don't feel like I deserve to be lied to, but I don't want to lose him, either.
I just don't know. If anyone has any suggestions or stories similar to this, please let me know. I'm frazzled, heartbroken, and really just don't know what to do.
As for the comments regarding depression, talking to him about my concerns...yes, he is depressed to some degree. He takes medication (when he feels like it) and had gone to some therapy but is no longer doing so. The problem with confronting him is that he is an extremely defensive person and he gets even more mean-spirited if you bring these things up. I love my father but I can't help him if he doesn't want to help himself.
In summary, I'm going to continue to bite my tongue and remind myself that we'll be moving out soon. It's such a sad situation, but it is what it is. Thank you all again :)
To make a long story short, my husband and I just moved in with my parents for six months. It's a fairly unique situation but suffice to say we'll be here for no longer than six months and will then be moving out to get our own place.
My problem is my father. He's been out of work for, oh at least a year if not more now. My parents are fortunate in that he can afford to essentially begin his retirement and my mom is still working. Well, he sits on the couch and reads all day, every day. He's had health problems in the past regarding circulation to one of his legs and had two very intense surgeries to reestablish that circulation - think open chest surgery and all that. The doctors told him that he needed to be more active and to quit smoking. Obviously neither has happened; in fact, there has been literally zero improvement from his previous sedetary/smoking lifestyle. And his leg is starting to bother him again. So that frustrates me because he's letting his health go down the toilet without even batting an eye.
On top of that, he's become increasingly hostile toward my mom and even snipes at me sometimes. He acts unnecessarily childish, snippy and rude and frankly if he were my husband I'd be having a come to Jesus talk with him about respect like, yesterday. I can tell my mom is doing her best to hold her tongue and not let it rile her, but I can also tell it hurts her feelings.
So long story short, I don't know how to act around my dad anymore. I don't want to get into it with him about being a jerk because I'm a lot tougher than my mom and I can absolutely see myself calling him on his bullshit. And I don't want to get into it with him about his health because he gets intensely defensive about it. My sister and I tried talking to my mom about him last Christmas time when I was last home, but essentially she doesn't want to get into it with him either and just said that my sister and I should talk to him about it if we were so concerned. I feel as though she isn't entirely aware of his declining health, or chooses to ignore it. She'll be retiring next year though, and I feel as though thing will turn pretty sour if they're together more often than just evenings and weekends.
My question is: how would you handle the relatively new tension between two parents as an adult? When he gets to sniping at her I tend to just ignore them, or to "side" with my mom ("Well I think these green beans are cooked just fine.") but it's uncomfortable and sad to see him acting like that toward her. I feel as though my mom is the best person to directly confront him about it - it's not my relationship after all, and maybe she's okay with just coasting as-is for now - but it seems she'd rather just bite her tongue and not engage him.
In those short few weeks we have come a long way and done a lot together. I can honestly say he's one of the sweetest guys I know and we laugh a lot. We have a lot of things in common so we genuinely enjoy our time together. Now here's the problem... Since we have been seeing a lot of each other we have become intimate. The first couple of times we were making out and rubbing up against each other I was surprised that (unlike most guys) he didn't want to sleep with me. We would just fool around then go out or he would play with me.
Then I later realised that while we fool around and pretty much rubbing up against each other, he doesn't get hard. Now I will either go down on him or give him a hand job to try and get him going but he's still pretty flaccid even if he gets bigger. We attempted to have sex last few times but he would just get soft unless I kept touching him. We have yet to successfully have sex.. I have got him to finish a few times so it's not like he doesn't 'cum' but I have to be honest, I'm starting to get frustrated and thinking we might never actually have sex since he seems to have difficulty performing. And since everything is fairly new, its difficult to talk about and I don't want to embarrass him. Sex is very important to me and especially in a relationship. Sure we get to fool around and get each other off (hard work to get him off though) but it's not enough for me. Since I'm nearing my 30's, I think about sex all the time and have a high sex drive unlike when I was in my early 20's. And he's 24 so is quite concerning that someone younger than me are having these issues.
I'm not quite sure what to do and how to bring this up as he's obviously aware of it too lol. Has anyone been with someone with ED (Erectile Dysfunction)?
It's a simple thing - around Tuesday I mentioned to a guy I met up with that I'd be interested in meeting up again, maybe this weekend. They replied promptly stating they'd also be interested and they'd let me know when they would be available this weekend. And radio silence - so I took that as a hint since it's now Sunday night and deleted his number(I don't like number clutter).
My sister asked me about him and I recounted this, but she's telling me that there are a million reasons he may not have set a time and, on one hand she makes a point, on the other, I'm willing to bet he didn't get hit by a car.
He's quite busy, working constantly(work 9-6, and things to do when he gets home), so, it's plausible he could like me and is simply busy, but, in that case, a relationship could never work if he's too busy to shoot a text.
My sister thinks I should text him and ask what he's been up to ("Put in some effort!" she says) and I could get his number from my call history, but I can't help but think I should just forget about it and if he texts me, I'll probably reply if I haven't gotten over him by then.
I just feel like I've already extended enough interest, already.
I recently bumped into an old instructor who I had some common interests with. We exchanged numbers and the next day he not only added me on Facebook but wanted to make plans to meet up. He asked me a couple of times but I was busy during the week, and we later met up last Sunday. In person he's fairly quiet, calm and collected. And he was mature and professional during the course I took earlier this year.
Since our date I find he's intense by text. We made plans to meet this coming Friday. But today he invited me to some fireworks and a bonfire night at his friend's place. I told him that I'm feeling under the weather and will take a miss but thanked him for the invitation.
He came back with "Awwwww can't you just come for an hour, just so I can see you again? I'll pick you up so you don't have to drive". I thanked him again for the offer but adamantly said I'm having a quiet night, and as a reminder (since our next date is only a couple of days away...) asked him if he's still on for Friday. He responded with ":(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(you're making me upset now. Yeah I'm still up for Friday."
I just find it bizarre how intense he's been! I get that he fancies me and wants to get to know me better, but the immature texts seem so out of character. He seems like a whole different person face to face as he's intelligent, fairly quiet, good natured and fun. Then needy, intense, and desperate by text. I was interested in getting to know him because we have a few things in common and hard to figure out since he's a fairly quiet person. Anyone else experience this with a guy (or girl) before?
Going to go ahead and put this under a cut because I'm positive it will get lengthy.
( Love VS WorkCollapse )
Here are the players in the situation:
( Four in this situation.Collapse )
Now more of the story...
( This might be superfluous! I'm not sure! See next cut for the questions I'm asking and where we are today...Collapse )
Here's where we are today!
( I'm in lots of debt. Ex lives with us and is leeching but does watch the child pretty much always. Ex is also fairly nice currently and doesn't ask for much. But what else is there for her to ask for, currently???Collapse )
Who is going to have to budge and where? What should I do? What is realistic? I want things to all work out for the best but ultimately I don't want Ex as my roommate, especially if financially she contributes basically nothing. I want to be an adult and I know sacrifices must be made, in this situation? What do I do? What do we do? Please help. :(
My friend is also, pretty depressed, and tends to take things really, really personally.
Anyway, lately she's been spoiling things for me a lot. "Oh man, I realize that TV show is based off of Old Play but I wish they hadn't done what they did." "... So such and such dies. Thanks." "Oh man, that show you're watching just kind of sucks after x thing happens." "Uh... I'm not that far yet." "No? It happens at y event." Thanks. Because, not being that far yet, I didn't know that y event was happening either. "Oh man, I'm reading this comic and [explains in detail an entire issue]. You should read it!" "That video game you're playing, when so and so does this thing AT THE VERY END OF THE GAME makes me hate that character."
It's really driving me up the wall, to the point where I've been avoiding her because I don't want her to talk fandom to me, but geeking out is also one of the only things we have in common.
How do I reiterate that I hate hate hate spoilers, even seemingly mild ones (like the comic book thing was. Not that the rest of the examples are minor spoilers, they were all pretty huge), even though she already knows this, without offending her when she tends to be so sensitive?
I recently started dating semi-seriously - or more accurately, found someone I'm more interested in. We'll call him Jay. My roommate has reacted fairly juvenilely to this. Previously I've casually dated, but never brought anyone home, and he hasn't cared. I brought this guy home on a weekend when my roommate was away and I recently made plans to spend a Saturday cooking, watching movies, and generally canoodling (the canoodling happening in my room, not common areas), and my roommate has not reacted well.
First, he demanded that I explain what he was supposed to do while Jay and I cook. When I told him that I don't really particularly care, he asked what he was supposed to do while we do whatever afterward. When I (fairly snidely, I admit) suggested earplugs if he was going to stick around, he came up with an elaborate plan to blast terrible music at us. (I vetoed that and said that if he feels that way, he should find plans with friends or visit his mother.)
I think he's far more attached to me than I am to him. Some mutual friends call us roommate married and that's fair, but this is one of the "personal boundaries notwithstanding" points. I am going to date and he can't have a problem with that - I'm not dating him for a reason. (Him wanting to sleep with me has come up in the past. Last time it came up, I told him that if he asked again, I was going to move out and leave him with a hanging lease. Per his original proposal, he doesn't want to date me but thinks having sex would be "educational.") I don't know if this is another manifestation of "I want to sleep with you" or not. He's definitely brought mostly-ladies home and I've just put earbuds in, so I don't see what the big deal is.

Mark David Chapman, could find out this week if he will be released from jail, 32 years after killing former Beatle John Lennon, New York prison officials said.
Chapman was moved May 15 from New York's super-maximum-security Attica Correctional Facility 18 miles west to the maximum-security Wende Correctional Facility near Buffalo.
The department would not disclose the reason for his move. Spokesman Peter Cutler told The New York Times inmates "can be moved periodically for a variety of reasons."
Chapman -- who once said he thought of killing Johnny Carson, Elizabeth Taylor and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis before deciding on Lennon -- told a parole board in 2010 his Christian faith deepened while in prison, and he hoped to get a job and live with his wife after release from prison.
Chapman married Japanese-American former travel agent Gloria Hiroko Abe, who now lives in the Honolulu suburb of Kailua, in June 1979, 18 months before he gunned down Lennon outside The Dakota apartment building next to New York's Central Park, Dec. 8, 1980.
Chapman pulled a 38-caliber revolver and fired five shots at Lennon after getting the former Beatle to autograph a copy of the "Double Fantasy" album Lennon released with his wife, Yoko Ono, that year.
The album won the 1981 Album of the Year at the 24th Grammy Awards.
The New York Daily News reported in 2008 Chapman was enjoying conjugal visits with his wife at Attica prison at least once a year since 1990.The 44-hour visits took place in a special modular "private homelike setting" on the prison grounds, the newspaper quoted prison officials as saying.
This week's state Parole Board meeting is to be Chapman's seventh try at freedom.
The three-member board said after his last hearing in 2010 it denied his parole due to the "disregard you displayed for the norms of our society and the sanctity of human life."
Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, has consistently pleaded with the board not to release Chapman, saying she feared for her own life and those of her two sons, as well as for his.
"There are so many people out there who dislike him," Ono told the News in 2008. "It's safer for him to stay in jail."
Chapman is serving a sentence of 20 years to life after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in Lennon's death. He has received psychological treatment throughout his imprisonment.
Cutler told the Times when Chapman was moved to protective custody at Wende the inmate had "a very good disciplinary history," incurring no infractions since one in 1994 for disobeying a direct order.

Every now and then, a conversation pops up in the GLBT romance world about why we do this, or whether writing romances about two men, or two women, or two men and a woman, or someone who's choosing between a man and a woman because they're attracted to both, or about someone who's transgendered, has any effect on the world besides giving its fans some entertainment.
I think it does. I think the cause of establishing that GLBT people are people first, are normal, are our family and friends and folks just like them, are people who are defined by so many other things that the kind of person they're attracted to or their gender identity is only one small part of the whole -- I think the cause of helping GLBT people win their rightful and equal place in our society is helped by any popular media that shows GLBT people as normal.
If I write a book where a gay man is a mage who casts spells and fights ogres and defeats evil, and falls in love while doing it, then that puts him on a level with every straight man in a similar book who did similar things. If someone else writes a book where a lesbian is a detective and solves mysteries with her wife, then that shows that lesbians are normal, and equal with every straight woman who solves mysteries in a book series. If there's a book where a transwoman becomes a barrel racing champion and is queen of the rodeo and wins the handsome cowboy, then that shows everyone who reads it that transwomen are women, and can be cowgirls, and can win, and can have love just like any other woman.
Torchwood was great at showing the world as it should be -- non-heteronormative, accepting gay and lesbian and bisexual people without a blink. (It would've been nice to get a trans person in there too, but I don't remember any.) In an early episode we saw Owen go home with both a woman and a man, and the point of the sequence wasn't even that he was bi; that was just detail of characterization. The point was that he was abusing alien tech in a particularly reprehensible manner. (Yes, GLBT people can be jerks; there's nothing wrong with showing that so long as we show the whole spectrum of behavior and personalities.)
And the episode "Captain Jack Harkness," set during WWII, showed a world where two soldiers could dance together and share an incredibly hot kiss in public, and the responses of the people around them ranged (judging by expressions, since no one said anything) from "Hot!" to "Awww!" to "Whatever." Realistic? No, not at all. Awesome? Oh, yeah. That's how the 1940s should have been, and I loved seeing that should-have-been world. We need reminders that the world isn't perfect yet -- we need to have books that show how much things used to suck and how much they still do -- but I think we also need to have books that show how things should be and should have been. We need both, so we can point at one and say, "This is what we have," then point at the other and say, "That's what we should have."
Portrayals of GLBT characters in movies and on television -- and in books -- still leave a lot to be desired. There are a lot of stereotypes, a lot of marginalization, a lot of tokenism. The fact that they're there at all is progress, though, and so long as creators keep working to improve portrayals, there's hope that we'll eventually show a full spectrum of characters, all kinds of people, three-dimensional and well developed, in our media. The fact that mistakes are being made isn't a reason to stop -- it's a reason to insist that we have to keep going and do better.
Studies have shown that those who personally know GLBT people -- family members, friends, co-workers, church members, neighbors -- are more accepting and less likely to support bigoted or oppressive laws and attitudes. Reading about GLBT characters can't have the same impact as knowing someone personally, but it has to be better than nothing. Seeing all kinds of people presented in the media as normal members of society, in all areas and all roles, can only help, even if only a little. If this is the best I can do as a writer to help make our society safe and accepting for all kinds of people, then I'm glad to help.

Apparently the director had narrated a longer version of the role to her, but what we see in the film is nothing more than a glorified cameo
Rockstar has opened to a very positive response from the critics and going by the buzz, it just might be a big hit of 2011. The film belongs to Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri – but there is one more woman in this film who got a raw deal. We're talking about Aditi Rao Hydari, who was supposed to play a prominent part in the film, but the screen time given to her was much lesser than what she had signed up for. We heard that Aditi had auditioned for the female lead in Rockstar, but director Imtiaz Ali was keen to cast the ethereal beauty, Nargis Fakhri. Aditi was offered the supporting role, and though it was not top billing, she was quite gung-ho about it. Back then she had said, "It's something like what Rani Mukerji's role was in Veer Zaara. She was a lawyer and I play a young journalist. It's through her eyes that you see this person (Ranbir's character). My part is not the main love story of the film, but it's a nicely layered one. It goes through a good growth." This is exactly why we were surprised because she is hardly there in the film. She does get to kiss Ranbir in a scene but besides, that she doesn't have much to do. That's probably why she was also missing from the publicity campaign of the film. This is not the first time this has happened to her. She got a similar treatment in Delhi-6 where she played the coy, unmarried aunt of Sonam Kapoor. And again in Sudhir Mishra's Yeh Saali Zindagi. Fortunately, her bold scenes and umpteen passion-loaded kisses with co-star Arunoday Singh got her some attention. We just hope that she gets a better deal in her next, London, Paris, New York where she is playing the lead role opposite Ali Zafar because there is no denying that she is a talented actor who is just down on luck.

The OTCFF was founded by Chris Durant in January 2010, with the goal to help fill a void in the Minnesota's GLBTQ cinema community. Chris studied filmmaking, screenwriting, theatre and music at Minneapolis Community and Technical College. In 2009, he created a local mock-reality show: 'The Show So Gay.' In 2011, he co-wrote and directed 'Genderf*kation,' a documentary that focuses on six individuals and their struggles and triumphs around social, political and religious ideologies and gender non-conformity.

Call Me Kuchu (2012), Sunday, June 2, 9:30 pm, Out Twin Cities Film Festival
Q&A with Ahmed Tharwat , Directed by: Katherine Fairfax Wright and Malika Zouhali-Worrall
In Uganda, a new bill threatens to make homosexuality punishable by death. David Kato, Uganda's first openly gay man, and retired Anglican Bishop Christopher Senyonjo work against the clock to defeat state-sanctioned homophobia while combating vicious persecution in their daily lives. But no one is prepared for the brutal murder that shakes their movement to its core and sends shock waves around the world. In an unmarked office at the end of a dirt track, veteran activist David Kato labors to repeal Uganda's homophobic laws and liberate his fellow lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender men and women, or "kuchus." But David's formidable task just became much more difficult. A new "Anti-Homosexuality Bill" proposes death for HIV-positive gay men, and prison for anyone who fails to turn in a known homosexual. Inspired by American evangelicals who have christened Uganda ground zero in their war on the "homosexual agenda," the bill awaits debate in Uganda's Parliament.
