Prayers for bobby
this looks interesting. I know it isnt for everyone but for those who care about this issue might find it interesting.
Coming in January on Lifetime,Prayers for Bobby, starring Sigourney Weaver, is based on the best-selling 1998 book by the same name. It's the true-story of Mary Griffith, whose son Bobby committed suicide because of her religious intolerance. The consequences of denying the basic humanity of her son's love set Mary on a path to understanding and she ultimately became a ga y rights activist.

George Michaels at it again.
George Michael has apologised to his fans after being arrested in a public toilet for possessing crack cocaine and cannabis.
He was held after a tip-off from an attendant at underground lavatories on Hampstead Heath, North London, on Friday.
When officers arrived the 45-year-old singer was still in the toilet and police found the drugs on him. He was taken to a police station where he admitted possession of class A and C drugs.
He was held after a tip-off from an attendant at underground lavatories on Hampstead Heath, North London, on Friday.
When officers arrived the 45-year-old singer was still in the toilet and police found the drugs on him. He was taken to a police station where he admitted possession of class A and C drugs.
Police decided not to refer the matter to the Crown Prosecution Service for possible further action, saying the singer had shown 'remorse'.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: 'I can confirm that a 45- year- old man was arrested on September 19 on suspicion of possession of drugs in the Hampstead Heath area.
'He was taken to a North London police station where he received a caution for possession of class A and class C drugs.
'He has been released and there will be no further action.'
In a statement last night, Michael apologised for 'screwing up again' and promised to 'sort myself out'.
Michael, whose pop career has earned him a fortune put at £70million, is a well-known face on Hampstead Heath.

Michael, whose pop career has earned him a fortune put at £70million, is a well-known face on Hampstead Heath.
The toilets are a few miles from his £5million Highgate mansion and are a known location for ' cottaging', where gay men meet for anonymous sex.
Inside the toilets there is a 'no loitering' sign intended to discourage the activity.
The incident is the latest scandal surrounding the singer since his arrest in a toilet in America ten years ago.
He had spent years refusing to comment on his sexuality, but that changed in 1998 after he was arrested in public toilets in Beverly Hills for engaging in a lewd act. He was fined £450 by a Los Angeles court and ordered to do community service.
The incident forced him to disclose his homosexuality and his relationship with American Kenny Goss.
In October 2006 he was found slumped over the wheel of his car. And in May last year he pleaded guilty to driving while unfit through drugs and was banned from driving for two years.
Tests showed anti-depressants, cannabis and the illegal 'dance drug' GHB in his blood.

The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder
I saw this on another site thought id share. The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder" by Vincent Bugliosi, the famed L.A. prosecutor. Bugliosi is widely regarded as one of the country's best prosecutors, puts forward what he considers a rock-solid case for how Bush can be prosecuted for murder once he is out of office. His argument is that Bush knowingly took the country into war in Iraq on false pretenses, not an "honest mistake", and he lays out the evidence and arguments that prove this. Bugliosi indicated that because 4,000+ American soldiers have died, any state in which a soldier died has jurisdiction to bring the case, and thus 50 attorney generals in the U.S. are in a position to do something. Interestingly enough, not one major publication in the mainstream media has reviewed the book. Most people don't know it's even out there. And that's understandable, because when someone of Vincent Bugliosi's stature puts forward an "airtight legal case" that will lead to Bush's conviction of murder...well, certainly "nice people" don't want to discuss that, do they??I hope you will all read this book. Here is a link to it on amazon.com:http://www.amazon.com/Prosecution-George-W-Bush-Murder/dp/159315481X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221586864&sr=8-1

9/11 anniversary
NEW YORK - The nation paused Thursday to mark the seventh anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks with heartfelt remembrances at the World Trade Center site, the dedication of a memorial at the Pentagon and a planned visit to ground zero by the presidential candidates.
Relatives of victims killed at the World Trade Center gathered in a park in lower Manhattan for readings from dignitaries and a recitation of the names of the dead. Later Thursday, Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain were due at ground zero to pay silent respects.
"Today marks the seventh anniversary of the day our world was broken," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at the start of the ceremony, calling Sept. 11, 2001, a "day that began like any other and ended as none ever has."
The ritual in New York included moments of silence in the morning at 8:46, 9:03, and 9:59 and 10:29 — the times when two hijacked jets slammed into the trade center buildings and the twin towers fell.
Services were also held in Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon, where a new memorial was dedicated at a ceremony attended by President Bush. The Pentagon Memorial contains 184 benches — one for each victim that will glow with light in the night.
Among the speakers at the New York ceremony were three who were young children when their fathers went to work at the World Trade Center seven years ago and never came home. The children are now about 10, 11 and 13.
"I remember playing in the yard with him. I remember him pulling my wagon. He was strong. He always made me feel safe," said Alex Salamone, wearing the soccer jersey of his father, John. "I wish I could remember more, but we were so young when he died."
Family members and students representing more than 90 countries that lost victims on Sept. 11 read the names of 2,751 people killed in New York. At the same time, family members descended to the nearby footprints of the twin towers and paid their respects to their lost loved ones.
Relatives of victims began arriving at dawn at ground zero, now a huge construction site. American flags were draped over silent cranes, and some families held signs saying "We miss you," "We love you" or "You will never be forgotten."
The ceremony included many tearful remembrances as family members reflected on the amount of time that has passed since 2001 and expressed their support for American troops.
"They took from us innocent lives in the names of their God, and it seems some people have forgotten what happened here seven years ago," said Rosaria Reneo, sister of victim Daniela R. Notaro. "Our lives are filled with pain and always will be. Thank you to all the men and women fighting for us."
The family of Sept. 11 victim Michael Diehl went to ground zero wearing white T-shirts bearing his photo and 9/11/01.
"It's still very hard for us to come here. It doesn't get any easier," said Diehl's sister-in-law, Norma Linguito. "I just wish they'd get the memorial up so we can have something, a marker, to remember everyone."
McCain and Obama planned to visit the site after the ceremony concluded Thursday afternoon. The candidates agreed weeks ago to pull their campaign ads for the day and were appearing together Thursday night at a forum on volunteerism and service.
Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani spoke at the ceremony — as he has every year in New York — drawing applause from some in the crowd. As the names were being read, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine and New York Gov. David Paterson walked down a ramp to lay flowers in the pit where the towers stood.
Last year's reading by Giuliani, then a presidential candidate, drew protests from family members who said the city was ill-prepared for the terrorist attacks under his leadership and questioned whether he should be there while running for the White House.
Many families had no opposition to McCain and Obama's visit, but some questioned whether the visit was necessary. "It's probably going to be more commercial. This really should be a day for the people who lived and worked down here," said Jane Wixted, who lost her police officer son Glen Pettit on Sept. 11.
But Pettit's former colleague, Chris DeAngelo, was glad they were coming. "One of them is going to lead this nation," he said. "And for that reason, both should come here to see what happened."
At the Pentagon memorial dedication, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld mourned the airline passengers and those who "one morning kissed their loved ones goodbye, went off to work and never came home."
The Pentagon memorial is the first of three major Sept. 11 memorials to be completed. The 2-acre park, located at the spot where American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon's west wall, consists primarily of 184 cantilevered benches, each bearing a victim's name.
The president and first lady marked the anniversary during a moment of silence on the South Lawn of the White House, then went to the Pentagon where the president spoke at a service.
In Pennsylvania, several hundred people gathered to read the names of 40 victims killed in Shanksville where Flight 93 came down after passengers reportedly stormed the cockpit to thwart terrorists' plans to use that plane as a weapon like the others. McCain was among those honoring the victims.
Memorials are years away from being built in Pennsylvania and New York. As in past years, two bright blue beams of light will shine at night on the New York City skyline, in memory of the fallen towers.
The New York ceremony included one more victim name than last year. The city restored Sneha Philip, a woman who vanished on Sept. 10, 2001, to its official death toll this year after a court ruled that she was likely killed at the trade center.

Subway Fires Former Gay Porn Star
22-year-old gay porn star Kurt Wild was fired from his day job at a Subway restaurant outside of St. Louis when a customer recognized him and threatened to boycott the fast food joint if Wild wasn't fired.
Wild says in an email: Hey everyone.I just wanted to tell everyone that I was just fired from my work at subway because I have done gay porn. A customer said they wouldn't even eat there at subway anymore because of my past work and said that if I wasn't fired then they would boycott the store. What I say is, if one person can try to ruin me everywhere I work... maybe I should take a stand and boycott their store too if they can't let people's privacy be treated right. I should have the right to work anywhere I can and it isn't right or fair that people can keep me from working simply because of a "gay" issue. If a girl did what we do it would probably be ok.. and if a guy does straight porn.. he is bragged about. When I do gay porn, I feel a bit lynched for the rest of my life. Not right. Thanks for reading.- Kurt Wild" (BGay.com)People have the right to make their own choices, and Mr. Wild should not be fired from employment due to sexual orientation and his former career in pornography. Sadly the state of Missouri does not have employment protections for people based on sexual orientation so Subway did not violate any laws.
I urge you to join me in calling on Subway to apologize for firing Mr. Kurt Wild at one of their St. Louis locations and letting them know we will not stand for this type of discrimination.For specific store contact please type in St. Louis, Missouri.http://www.subway.com/Applications/CustService/frmCustomerService.aspxSUBWAY® Restaurants325 Bic DriveMilford, CT 06461 USAPh:1.800.888.4848

New drawing
Here's a new drawing i did recently. Its of jensen ackles from the series supernatual. I'm working on one of jared at the moment and will post it once its complete.
Supernatural
I have become a huge fan of this show. At the moment I'm catching up on the first 4 season by the way of netflix. When Sam and Dean Winchester were just kids, their mother was horribly murdered in front of their father by something "supernatural". Their lives were never the same again. After their mother's murder, their father took an interest in the supernatural and the unexplained and raised the boys as warriors with skills to fight back against the unknown and protect the innocent. 22 years later, with Sam and Dean grown up, their father suddenly disappears on a suppose routine supernatural hunt. Sam and Dean search for their father and along the way help anyone with a supernatural problem with the help from their dad's journal that contains most of his knowledge about the supernatural that he had accumulated over his 22 years of none-stop obsessive hunting............... Id recommend anyone who's a fan of shows like the x files and Buffy the vampire slayer to check this show out.

To tip or not to tip?
If you get a massage at a hotel or spa or from a massage therapist, a 15% to 20% tip is standard if you were pleased with the services. There are no real ground rules when it comes to massage in a medical setting. Some massage therapists feel tipping isn't appropriate in a medical setting. If you're not sure, don't be afraid to ask if tipping is customary. .
Massage definitions
I get large number of calls and emails each week asking me what are the Different massage techniques. So I thought id most a brief summary of the Different styles of massages out there. Some I offer some I do not..
swedish:
Swedish massage uses five styles of long, flowing strokes to massage. The five basic strokes are effleurage (light touch), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), compression, and vibration. Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and improving function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee over a period of eight weeks. The development of Swedish massage is credited to Per Henrik Ling though the Dutch practitioner Johan Georg Mezger adopted the French names to denote the basic strokes. This is the most popular style of massage.
Deep tissue:
Deep Tissue – Deep Tissue Massage is a massage designed to reach the deep portions of thick muscles, specifically the individual muscle fibers. Using deep muscle compression and friction along the grain of the muscle, its purpose is to unstick the fibers of the muscles and release both toxins and deeply held patterns of tension. This is the second most requested style of massage among therapist..
Sports massage:
This special form of massage is typically used before, during, and after athletic events to prepare the athlete for peak performance, to drain away fatigue, to relieve swelling, to reduce muscle tension, to promote flexibility and to prevent injuries. Depending on the needs of the athlete, a variety of techniques are used including classic Swedish strokes, cross-fiber friction, pressure-point work, and joint mobilization.
Shiatsu:
– Shiatsu, the most widely known form of acupressure, literally meaning “finger pressure” in Japanese, and has been practiced for more than a thousand years in Japan. Shiatsu uses rhythmic pressure from 3 to 10 seconds on specific points along the body’s meridians by using the fingers, hands, elbows, knees, and sometimes feet to unblock and stimulate the flow of energy. A massage may also include gentle stretching and range-of-motions manipulations. Shiatsu is used to treat pain and illness, to relax the body, and to maintain general health.
Hot stone massage:
A stone massage uses stones, sometimes heated, to massage the body. The hardness of the stones allows the therapist to address specific problem areas with more detailed work or deeper pressure. Basalt stones of various sizes, shapes and weights are used throughout and heated in water. Stones need to be kept heated in clean, sanitized water between 120 to 130 degrees. If your therapist is not using rubber gloves, a tool, or mesh bags to remove the stones from the hot water, be cautious of unsanitary conditions. Hot water promotes the growth of bacteria. Water temperatures kept too low may allow the proliferation of bacteria, algae, and mold, especially if the water has not been changed. The best way to get a safe hot stone massage is to inquire how many hours of hot stone training the therapist has received. For massage therapists who are already qualified, a one to three day intensive Stone Massage training course is usually sufficient (as long as class numbers are small). For classes with larger numbers, a five day training course may be required. A two hour video training is not sufficient, no matter what your level of experience.
Sensual:
This massage is designed to use touch for an emotionally pleasing response. Strokes are typically light or moderate, and are not intended to be physically therapeutic. Typically, an atmosphere of relaxation is set through the use of candles and music. The gay massage therapist is often unclothed as well as the client. Unlike Erotic Gay Massage, Sensual Male Massage may not specify climax as a goal. Instead, it is intended to indulge the client and make him feel special. Sensual massage for man is widely offered by untrained practitioners where full-body contact is utilized. The only structured, trademarked variety of Sensual Male Massage is Body Electric. This variety of sensual massage for man is intended to promote positive self-image, and help to reattach a wholesome view of sexual energy within the body. Sensual massage should be discussed prior to the Sensual Male Massage.
Erotic Massage :
Erotic Massage is a combination of a sensual male massage and relaxing bodywork. Not to be mistaken for Sex, Male Erotic Massage can be integrated with any number of legitimate massage techniques or a light body-rub that includes a sexual release by hand. Generally both the Massage Therapist and Client are nude during this experience. Each Massage Therapist has different ‘rules’ on Erotic Massage guidelines so it is important to talk to the therapist about the experience before coming to any conclusions.
