Had to do it (Bye Bye L-Word)

?
I don't know who killed Jenny- i mean I know (DUHH did you see it?) but i don't know know.





I did not start watching the L Word until 2007 four years after the show began airing. My heterosexual female roommate was obsessed and netflicked (new word!) an entire season, and being that there was one tv in the house i watched. And i was hooked.
I've only seen three seasons and this last one...kinda lame-still have an awesome respect for the show, the cinematography, the characters and the messages behind the far from realistic situations that occur between them.

Thanks for Awesome entertainment.

'The L Word' series finale: Who killed Jenny Schecter? And does it even matter?

Mar 9, 2009, 07:05 AM | by Nicholas Fonseca

The first-ever American TV series about lesbians signed off for good in properly maddening fashion last night. And SPOILER ALERT RIGHT HERE AND NOW its overarching final-season murder mystery remains, from what I can tell, completely unsolved. That's right, readers: The L Word did not, in fact, reveal which of its principal characters killed Jenny Schecter.

I'd say I'm pissed off, but as a loyal viewer of the six-year-old Showtime drama from day one, I can't say I expected anything less ludicrous than the series' final minutes. Just after Alice discovered Jenny's body outside Bette and Tina's home--where the girls had gathered for the couple's bon voyage party--the police arrived, Nikki French jumped out of the bushes (random!), and the girls were called into the cop shop for questioning. Then, the money shot: Cars pull up to the station, and the girls--looking as shiny and luxurious as ever--emerge one-by-one to walk toward the camera (and apparently a wind machine), beaming as the end credits roll. In the background, a retooled version of Betty's epically obnoxious theme song played, no off-pitch voices or dorky lyrics muddling the moment. I didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or just sigh loudly and take another deep gulp of wine (my usual m.o. while watching the show).

Barkley Mans Up- 3hree days in Prison (nothing!)

?
PHOENIX, Arizona (CNN)
-- Basketball great Charles Barkley began serving a three-day sentence in Arizona's infamous Tent City on Saturday, jailed by the same sheriff whose autobiography he endorsed 12 years ago.

"You come here when you screw up," Barkley said at a news conference hours after he reported at the Maricopa County jail. "I don't blame anybody for this situation but myself."

Barkley, 45, pleaded guilty last month to misdemeanor drunken-driving charges stemming from a New Year's Eve arrest after he left a Scottsdale, Arizona, nightclub.

A judge sentenced him to 10 days in jail, but his sentence was reduced in exchange for Barkley's attending an alcohol-awareness course.

At the news conference, Barkley sat next to Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the self-proclaimed "Toughest Sheriff in America." Arpaio is known for giving inmates old-fashioned, black-and-white-striped uniforms, making some of them live in tents and reinstituting chain gangs, even for women.

"I'm an equal incarcerator," Arpaio said of Barkley, who will be sleeping in one of the tents. "We don't discriminate."

He said Barkley has been "a gentleman, cordial."

"He's taking his medicine," Arpaio said. "I hope that something comes out of this."

In a free-wheeling news conference, Barkley spoke out against drunken driving, made some observations about President Obama ("Rush Limbaugh and a lot of jackasses are giving him a hard time right now") and commented on felony charges singer Chris Brown faces for allegedly beating his girlfriend, singer Rhianna.

"I wish both of them the best, but it's never acceptable to hit a woman. Period," Barkley said.

Barkley wore a red-and-blue sweatsuit, not the black-and-white stripes that other inmates -- who watched the news conference through a chain-link fence --were wearing. Barkley said it's because he's on the jail's work-release program, and bristled at questions about it.

"None of the work-release people do that," he said. "But if y'all really, really want to put me as low as I can go, I can do that and make you feel better.

"I know when [someone is] famous, you like to see people humiliated."

Arpaio, who joked with Barkley over the pink underwear he routinely issues inmates, held up a copy of his 1996 book, "America's Toughest Sheriff." On its back cover, alongside endorsements by Limbaugh, Arizona Sen. John McCain and others, is one from Barkley.

"This man, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, is a role model for all Americans," Barkley wrote in the blurb.

Barkley is a basketball commentator for TNT, which like CNN is a Time Warner company. He is one of four National Basketball Association players to ever score more than 20,000 points. A star for the Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns, Barkley was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player in 1993 and inducted into its Hall of Fame in 2006.

Wild Blue (Blueberry Lager)

?
Do you liked Medicine in your beer? Dimetapp perhaps? 
Pour this brew into a glass, it is flat, no head, and Too purple.
This is not smooth, it does not taste good and it does not smell good. The only highlight for achieving a finished bottle is the buzz you gain from the 8.0% alcohol level. 
Do not buy this beer. Urge your friend to buy the six pack; they'll be eager to give away the others.
One in the crowd suggest that wine drinkers will enjoy this drink? i disagree because of the lack of vicinity.

Serving type: bottle

sidenote: this beer has the feel of a "craft" beer, its not its InBev's Anheuser-Busch

The Machine Is Us/ing Us

so sad TO

?
Terrall Owens was let go from the cowboys last night. HAHA-- excuse me, sorry.

IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys officially released Terrell Owens on Thursday, ending a three-year run that produced as many big headlines as big plays.

Owens caught more touchdown passes than any NFL receiver over the last three years and was a big part of Tony Romo's emergence from an unknown backup quarterback to a starlet-dating Pro Bowler with a $67 million contract.

Yet the Cowboys never won a playoff game in those three years, and didn't even make the playoffs this past season. Dallas' late-season collapse — which bottomed out with a lackluster performance in a win-and-you're-in finale in Philadelphia — emphasized that a new attitude was needed, and dumping T.O. shows that Jerry Jones is addressing that.

Jones even said so himself in a statement: "In the aftermath of the season, we talked about change. Some of what is changing involves the process and some of it involves people. This is a decision that was made based upon consideration for an entire team. We will move on now with a new team — a new attitude — and into a new stadium. The evaluation process and the prospect for change will continue at every level of the organization."

It's quite a reversal for Jones, who indicated in recent weeks that Owens wasn't going anywhere and firmly saying that the idea of locker-room problems were "a figment of the result. You didn't hear about those things when we were winning."

Citigroup waste $27million of Your money in an e-mail scam

?
"Hello my name is Rasheed and i need your help. My great grand uncle has passed to death and i need your aid transferring 27 millions dollars of his assets."

courthousenews.com:

MANHATTAN (CN) - A Nigerian man has been arrested and charged in an ultimate bank fraud scheme, in which he persuaded Citibank to wire him $27 million from the National Bank of Ethiopia, federal prosecutors said. After arranging the scam from Singapore, Paul Gabriel Amos, 37, was arrested on Jan. 15 while entering the United States, according to the indictment.
Amos and unnamed co-conspirators are accused of sending a raft of phony bank documents to Citibank, including callback numbers, with signatures that "appeared to match the signatures of NBE officials in Citibank's records," the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement. Amos then allegedly instructed Citibank to make two dozen wire transfers, of more than $27 million, to accounts in seven countries.

You know what really grindes my gears: The Hostess

?
i made a joking pass at a co-worker, nothing aggressive, just conversation. A day later, she goes to SOMEONE ELSE to ask about ME-but not me about Gayyys (because by being gay i lose all individuality? i can't just be la i have to be "gay" la, or "black" la.) cause you know we are all the same and we all meet and hang out the first of every month at the gay society to give each other sex tips and advice.
Future reference-if you want to know something about someone Ask them not a social opposite.
Some people man.

Pentagon Lifts Ban On Coffin Photos

?

AP News
WASHINGTON - Families of America’s war dead will be allowed to decide if news organizations can photograph the homecomings of their loved ones, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday.

Gates said he decided to allow media photos of flag-draped caskets at Dover Air Force Base, Del., if the families agree. A working group will come up with details and logistics.

The new policy reverses a ban put in place in 1991 by then President George H.W. Bush. Some critics contended the government was trying to hide the human cost of war.

"We should not presume to make the decision for the families — we should actually let them make it," Gates said at a Pentagon news conference.

"We’ve seen so many families go through so much," added Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He said the goal is to meet family needs in the most dignified way possible.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said President Barack Obama asked Gates to review the policy of media coverage of the fallen returning to Dover. He said Gates came back with a policy consistent with that used at Arlington National Cemetery.

Gibbs said it gives families the final say and "allows them to make that decision and protect their privacy if that’s what they wish to do. And the president is supportive of the secretary’s decision."

Shortly after Obama took office, Democratic Sens. John Kerry of Massachusetts and Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey also asked the White House to roll back the 1991 ban.

Over the years, some exceptions to the policy were made, allowing the media to photograph coffins in some cases, until the administration of President George W. Bush and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

A leading military families group has said that the policy, enforced without exception during George W. Bush's presidency, should be changed so that survivors of the dead can decide whether photographers can record their return.

FUNNY Stuff

like always i don't agree with 100% of the expressed opinion but some of it is very true and very funny.

Everyone involved in the built environment world tries to meet the needs of their clients. Child-sized furniture is designed for nurseries, disabled parking bays are located next to entrances, sheltered housing sites are planned near post offices and shops. However people are often unaware of the needs of a majority of the population; women. With the introduction of the Gender Equality Duty there is now a legal obligation to consider those needs.

Gendersite provides a route to all the information needed to gain a better understanding of gender issues in the built environment. The site lists books, bibliographies, broadcasts, conference papers, journals, reports, unpublished PhDs and more. Just choose the keyword (from the drop-down menu) that is most relevant to your project or area of interest.
