I don't belong here I don't belong here

No engineers? Of course engineers are apt to be staying up for days on end doing arcane mathematics.

Barbara Billingsley of 'Leave it to Beaver' fame dies Source Link: CNN (CNN) -- Barbara Billingsley, who wore a classy pearl necklace and dispensed pearls of wisdom as America's quintessential mom on "Leave it to Beaver," has died at age 94, a family spokeswoman said Saturday. The actress passed away at 2 a.m. (5 a.m. ET) Saturday at her home in Santa Monica, California, after a long illness, spokeswoman Judy Twersky said. A private memorial is being planned. "She was as happy as a lark being recognized as America's mom," actor Tony Dow, who played Wally Cleaver, told CNN's Don Lemon. "She had a terrific life and had a wonderful impact on everybody she knew, and even people she didn't know." Actor Jerry Mathers, who played Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver, spoke of Billingsley's talent during a 2000 appearance on CNN's "Larry King Live." "Barbara was always a true role model for me. She was a great actress," he said. "And in a lot of ways ... we kind of stifled her, because her true talent didn't really come out in 'Leave it Beaver.' She was like the straight man, but she has an awful lot of talent." The actress won a new legion of fans in a brief, but memorable, scene in the 1980 send-up movie "Airplane." "Oh, stewardess. I speak jive," Billingsley said in her role -- much different from her June Cleaver persona -- as an elderly passenger comforting an ill man on the flight. She, the sick man and his seat companion engaged in street-slang banter. From the moment its catchy theme song sounded in black-and-white TV sets of the 1950s, "Leave it to Beaver" enthralled Americans during a time of relative prosperity and world peace. Its characters represented middle-class white America. June Cleaver dutifully pecked the cheek of her husband, Ward (played by the late Hugh Beaumont), when he came home to learn about the latest foibles -- nothing serious -- committed by Beaver and Wally. The parents would dispense moralistic advice to their sons. The boys' friends included Lumpy and the obsequious Eddie Haskell, who avoided trouble and often buttered up Ward and June. "That's a lovely dress you're wearing, Mrs. Cleaver," Eddie would typically say to Billingsley's character. Perhaps fittingly, "Leave it to Beaver" was canceled in 1963 on the eve of the JFK assassination, the Vietnam War and the tumult of the 1960s. In the 1980s, Dow appeared with Billingsley in "The New Leave it to Beaver." She shifted from being a mom figure to a good friend who supported his directing and artistic endeavors, Dow said. "She always had a positive thing to say," said Dow, 65. Born December 22, 1915, in Los Angeles, Billingsley began her career as a model in New York City in 1936. She was under contract to MGM in 1945 before becoming a household name with the launch of "Leave it to Beaver" in 1957. Billingsley also voiced the role of Nanny in Nickelodeon's "Muppet Babies" from 1984 to 1991. Billingsley is related by marriage to actor/producer Peter Billingsley, known for his starring role as Ralphie in the seasonal TV-movie classic "A Christmas Story," according to the Internet Movie Database. Peter Billingsley's mother, Gail Billingsley, is the cousin of Barbara's first husband, Glenn. Billingsley, whose second and third husbands predeceased her, is survived by her two sons, Drew Billingsley of Granada Hills, California, and Glenn Billingsley of Phillips Ranch, California. Asked once to compare real-life families to TV families, Billingsley responded, "I just wish that we could have more families like those. Family is so important, and I just don't think we have enough people staying home with their babies and their children." ________________________________________ Billingsley was an icon of the 1950s nuclear family and womanhood- the family unit and role of women that so many in the country seem to be stuck on.

I don't get stressed anymore. I cause it.

Article fails to mention that the suburbs are the happy hunting grounds for zombies.

It's just another poor sap that is hopelessly brain washed by a religion that hates their guts. The only winning move is to walk away.

There aren't any republicans left. No one follows the core principles of republican ideology anymore. What passes for republicans now are simply populist reactionaries saying what the trailer parks want to hear and religious fanatics. The ideal of the Republic has largely been forgotten by people who can't even spell it.

Pretty much everyone he couldn't win an argument with. Maybe he needs to look up what his bible says about pride and false prophets. Sins of the spirit are dealt with much more harshly than sins of the flesh.

That's why I said there was some serious lying going on.

I respect someone more for coming out at any age and facing the music than living their life on the "down-low". Such an existence is wrong on so many levels. Primarily because it is based on a lie and can collapse upon you at any time (I'm looking at you George Rekers, Larry Craig and Ted Haggard). By accepting such a situation, you automatically place your lovers in second place- and why would anyone want that for them self? You would have to lie, and lie convincingly SO MUCH that you yourself would be hard pressed to remember what, if anything, is true. By denying your self, you remove the opportunity of giving or receiving support from the larger community. You are in a sort oof isolation that leads many people to madness. Most of the time people see through your BS anyway. The closet is a great place to keep your stuff but it's a horrible place to live. I've seen many people destroy themselves clinging to the closet while fooling no one but them self.

I wanna see Law & Order, SBVU In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses against cattle are considered especially heinous. In Kansas City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Bovine Victims Unit. These are their stories.

Last night I was watching BBC America and chanced upon Law & Order, UK. It is a derivative of the Dick Wolf's courtroom-procedural drama Law & Order that we're familiar with on NBC here in the states. I found it fascinating- the crimes and the system are quite different but familiar. Just wonder if there's a Law & Order Sydney, Law & Order Melbourne or Law & Order Auckland out there somewhere.

Q: What's blue and yellow and eats nuts? A: Gonorrhea. A priest is out for an afternoon stroll and turns the corner to find little Johnny with a hammer smashing the daylights out of a bunch of ants. The kid is saying to himself, "I hate these f**king ants... I hate these f**king ants..." The priest is taken aback by the little boy's language and talks to him, saying that God doesn't make junk. "Tomorrow I will be coming by again, and if you can tell me three things that God created that are worthless, then I will let you continue killing the ants." The next afternoon, the priest is out again for his walk and comes upon little Johnny smashing ants again. The priest reminds him of the agreement they had made, reminding the boy that he agreed not to kill any more ants unless he could name three worthless things that God created. Little Johnny looks up with a devilish smile and says, "I do know three things that are totally worthless. The first is a balls on a priest, the second is tits on a nun, and the third are these f**king ants!" Boudreaux and Thibodeaux are out fishing one day and Thibodeaux said, "Bobby- didn't you get married yesterday?" Boudreaux says, "yes I did." Thibodeaux says, "Well did you get any sex- it was your wedding night?" Boudreaux says, "Oh no. She's got Gonorrhea." Thibodeaux says, "Oh lawd that terrible. Did you get a blow job?" Boudreaux says, "Oh no. She's got an abscessed tooth. Thibodeaux says, "Did you get any anal sex?" Boudreaux says, Oh no. She's got diarrhea. Thibodeaux says, "Woman has got Gonorrhea, bad teeth and diarrhea and you ain't getting no sex. Why on earth did you marry her?" Boudreaux says, "For the bass boat."

happy birthday pal.

There's another issue. Many people think that gay people look like this... or this or this They simply don't identify with the freaky image of GLBT people that the media and people acting silly at Pride parades disseminate. The reality is that gay people look a lot more ordinary than a freak show.

Many gay people suffer from what I call encouraged denial. They are so brainwashed from birth about gender roles, morality and what is culturally correct that it's no great surprise when someone who is 30, 40 or 50 suddenly announces that they are gay. Think about it. Men are encouraged by family and tradition to date at age x, marry by age y and have children by age z. It is often easier to "go with the flow" than to fight the system. Coming out as gay is no picnic. Things are better but there is still a huge amount of bigotry and bias. I believe- no, I know for sure that there are many gay men living double lives to avoid the stigma of being gay.

Remember- you'll need to keep a few working brain cells. Have fun and happy birthday.

Me so horny. Me love you long time. 5 dollar for big strong GI. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0oALRL7uyY

Dreams of Tomorrow The Red Planet Bar & Grill was like a thousand others. It was a seedy little establishment at the edge of Flynt-towns spaceport and, much like the town, it had seen better days. When Mars was booming, the place would easily seat a few thousand people a night. Now a good night was barely a hundred. It was just the sort of dark, quiet place that Daniel Sokolsky was looking for to do business. He picked a nice dark booth in the back, ordered a steak and waited for his contact. Peter Devries of GenTech arrived shortly after his steak. The dowdy scientist looked a little twitchy. As he arrived at the table, he scanned the few customers in the bar. Satisfying himself that nothing looked wrong, he sat down in the seat opposite Sokolsky. Daniel looked up from his steak and said, "Could you have tried to look a little more sneaky?" Devries ordered a beer and sat back in his chair scanning the small crowd. "What you are asking me to do is a serious crime Mr. Sokolsky. I have to ask: are you a member of the Alliance Secret Service?" "No. Of course not." "The Human Genome Protection Act is very serious business. They would send us to a penal colony for decades if they knew we were even talking about breaking it." Sokolsky waved his hand at the bar, "You can buy guns, dust or arrange a murder here. The mob runs this place and the cops are paid to stay out." Devries still looked skeptical but he seemed to relax. He turned on an electronic jammer device and placed it on the table so that their conversation could not be recorded. "Like I told you and your wife, we take samples of both your DNA, sequence it, remove any genetic defect or disease and implant a perfect fetus. That's legal. We do it a few hundred times a day all over the planet. It's even necessary because of all the genetic damage that most Mars natives have taken from radiation over the years." Sokolsky said, "It's the enhancements that we're interested in." "So you want a genius or a champion athlete." Sokolsky shook his head. "No. We just want to give our son and edge- edge enough to get out of this place. Mars is a slum and since it was mined out, it is only getting worse." "So why don't you sign on for one of the new colonies?" Devries asked as he was sipping his beer. "Because it is dangerous and difficult and so many of them fail. I've got a good job here but I want to give my son options." Devries sighed. "OK. Its expensive and I've got to tell you that it is dangerous. Ordinarily our implantation procedures are completely safe but with enhancements, there a 27% failure rate. There is also a small chance of a rare genetic anomaly occurring as the child matures." "You aren't much of a salesman Mr. Devries." "I'm trying to talk you out of it. Public hysteria over enhanced individuals is... quite hysterical these days." Sokolsky said, "I think we can keep it under wraps." "You had better. Enhancements carry a mandatory ten year minimum sentence under the new law." "So let's talk specifics. What exactly can you deliver?" Devries smiled and said, "I think we have just what you are looking for. Dr. Bruckner discovered it in her Masters work. For her Masters thesis, Dr. Bruckner studied the DNA of a number of very prominent scientists: Einstein, Gauss, Liu, Shu- men and women who were the genius of their age. She found something that 98% of them had in common: a mutation in the gene designated H76. We can add it and your son will have the tools that will put him well ahead of his peers." Sokolsky asked, "How much?" "400,000 credits. Under the table of course." "How will we know that we have gotten what we paid for?" "You will know. Believe me. You will know quite soon. Just be prepared for Ivy League tuitions in fifteen years or sooner." Sokolsky paused and said,

There's some serious lying going on in that poll. Doesn't take a PHD to figure out where and about what.

Don't expect to build your universe in one sitting. It takes a LOT of imagination and work. You have to create a believable "history" and make your world consistent and logical for readers to buy into. Otherwise... well you've got network TV. The Lord of the Rings didn't just fall from the sky complete and ready for Peter Jackson to exploit. It took Tolkien decades to build it all. He also borrowed quite a lot from Norse mythology. If building a massive history, mythology, folk lore and customs wasn't enough, Tolkien built several languages from scratch. Amazing and completely off the chain. Other universes were collaborative. The Star Trek universe was created by Gene Roddenberry but it had numerous writers in its various incarnations all agreeing on basic precepts. The Star Wars Universe is the private property of George Lucas but he has opened it for numerous authors and even game developers to expand it. Speaking of games, Halo and World of Warcraft have their own shelf of formula derived fiction at Borders and Barnes&IgNoble. I can't tell you HOW to build a Universe but I'll tell you how I'm building mine. I have notebooks full of material that I'm working on: history, culture, planet names, politics, points of conflict, flash points, names of ships, Technologies, etc. It's a huge undertaking but its a lot of fun. If you do it right, kids will be buying your action figures.

When it comes to technology, never say never. We have seen the birth and rise to prominence of the Internet within our lifetime. It happened so fast and was so pervasive that it has completely changed the way we live, do business and work. It's hard to take a person serious that does not have an email address or a business that does not have a web site. Technology has an amazing power to transform things in a very short period of time. It moves quickly in jumps, starts and leaps in completely unexpected directions.
