I was a bit surprised at the Italian Supreme Court outcome but am glad this saga is finally over. Knox's conviction was overturned today and the case is now over.

TheOpenMat.com has a feature storu on Mike Pucillo, a three-time All All-American and 2008 NCAA Division I Champion at Ohio State, who came out with the support of teammates and friends. Finally, on a December morning, Pucillo reached for his phone and tapped out a lengthy text message to his best friend and college teammate, Reece Humphrey. The gist of the message was this: I’m gay. “I think telling him was an unbelievable weight off my shoulders (and) I didn’t think I would feel that good just telling him,” said Pucillo, the first openly gay Division-I national champion wrestler. “Reece has always been someone with a very open mind and I thought maybe he would unders…

One more hour until it begins here in Phoenix. Excited for all the drama, the music, the attitude, and the wardrobes.. J-Hud, Mary J Blige, Patti Labelle and several others to guest star

I finally saw it today. I did find it sexy, but definitely made by heteros and geared towards straight females. I have never had any interest in B&D or S&M, but after the movie, I do admit that I found it sexy and intriguing. But I did hate the ending, even though it obviously left things open for a sequel.

The next time you go through airport security nude-o-scope, watch your things that you have to put in bins that are not always within your site. Also, the next time you are on an international flight and the flight attendant asks for UNICEF money, think about this incident shown below.

Tourists Flock to Cuba Before the Americans Come Tourists ride a double-decker bus backdropped by an iron sculpture of Cuban revolutionary hero Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara. (Photo: AP) By Andrea Rodriguez HAVANA (AP) - Bookings to Cuba jumped 57 percent for one New York tour operator in the weeks after Washington said it would renew ties with Havana. In February, they were up 187 percent; and so far this month, nearly 250 percent. The boom is just one sign that the rush is on to see Cuba now - before, as many predict, McDonald’s claims a spot in Old Havana and Starbucks moves in on Cubita, the island’s premium coffee brand. The sense that detente will unleash an invasi…

I have often wondered what the criterion should be for anyone wanting to become a member of BOY TOY. There must be many deserving men out there who would love to join and participate but have not done so, fearing their reception would not be too friendly. I understand their concerns and I thought it might help if I gave them a few pointers with the intent of increasing participation. 1: First and foremost, never admit to having visited or worse yet, been a member of "THE OTHER SITE" That would immediately brand you as one whose motives were suspect and destroy your credibility. 2: Realize that there is a triumvirate who think they own the site. They don't but they sur…

US veterans return to Iwo Jima for 70th anniversary I was watching CNN and was reminded of this. We all too often forget about those that lay down their lives on foreign soil to protect our own. IOTO, Japan (AP) — Dozens of aging U.S. veterans, many in their early 90s and some in wheelchairs, gathered on the tiny, barren island of Iwo Jima on Saturday to mark the 70th anniversary of one of the bloodiest and most iconic battles of World War II. More than 30 veterans flown in from the U.S. island territory of Guam toured the black sand beaches where they invaded the deeply dug-in forces of the island's Japanese defenders in early 1945. They were bused to the top of …

For anyone still invested in Ryan Murphys Glee, tonight was the series Finale, and Mr Shuster, Sue Sylvester, and all the New Directions from all the seasons hung up their caps and gowns and said Goodbye. It was kinda sad although the show had lost foot over the last few years, but I still enjoyed their interpretations of pop culture hits and old standards... They tried to tie it all up in the 2 hr finale episode, but it seemed a bit Rushed to me, and quite melancholy, although as the show jumped ahead 5 years, only good things happened for EVERYONE... Ba-Bye GLEE

Steve Wall 3y My parents first consummated their love affair with convertibles when they purchased a brand new 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente. They absolutly loved it and had a ball for many years tooling around town and across the country. Sometime later, the best man from their wedding and his wife bought the ’64 Ford T-Bird pictured above.They each enjoyed their vehicles, but my parents drove the wheels off theirs on many memorable trips and were finally forced to sell when the car was shelled. Their friends were transferred out of state in 1984, and decided to store their T-bird with only 60,000 miles on the odometer. And there it sat for 26 years. Last year a series …

...When she took the podium, she said she was there to give Justin some tips for when he "inevitably ends up in prison." After offering to teach him how to make a shank, Stewart advised Justin to settle down and find a powerful, rich girl who's "a player in the boardroom and a freak in the bedroom." And with that, she quipped, "So Justin, my final piece of advice is: Call me." BOOM. http://www.mtv.com/news/2105841/inside-justin-bieber-comedy-central-roast/
