The global gay rights movement was yesterday celebrating the passage of a bill in the Mexico City legislature legalising gay marriage, making the huge and overwhelmingly Catholic megalopolis the first territory anywhere in Latin America to put same-sex couples on the same standing as heterosexuals. The law, which is likely to be signed soon by the city's increasingly high-profile leftist Mayor, Marcelo Ebrard, was passed by a vote of 39 votes to 20 in the city assembly on Monday to loud chants from supporters in the galleries of "Yes, We could. Yes, we could" – words that will become "We do" for some couples early in the new year. It was a victory not just for gay right…

As most of you probably know, a major volcanic eruption is capable of causing problems thousands of miles away. If the eruption is powerful enough, it can even cause problems worldwide. ____________ Philippines' Mayon Volcano to Explode 'Within Days' (CNN) -- Tens of thousands of people have fled their homes as scientists warn the towering Mayon volcano is about to explode in the Philippines, the country's national news agency reported Monday. More than 9,000 families -- a total of 44,394 people -- are being housed in evacuation camps after authorities Sunday raised the alert status of the country's most active volcano, Albay Province Gov.

The film grabbed a leading six Golden Globe nominations Tuesday, including best drama, plus directing and screenplay honors for Jason Reitman. George Clooney earned a best dramatic actor slot as a frequent-flyer junkie traveling the country in first-class seats and premiu…

Well made movie. Some of us who live/hide in impersonal buisness hotels and frequent flyer programs might see a little bit of ourselves in this film. I have seen it twice now and enjoyed it more the second time.

The party is over in Rhode Island. The legal loop hole that permitted legal prostitution indoors has now been closed by the Legislature. Excerpted from the full article... Rhode Island State Police said they’ve arrested 14 people for prostitution-related crimes since a new law went into effect that banned indoor prostitution, including a man who plays the New England Patriots’ mascot. ... ... A bill signed into law in November made prostitution a misdemeanor crime regardless of where it occurs. Previously, indoor prostitution was allowed in Rhode Island because of a legal loophole inadvertently introduced by the legislature in 1980. For the full article... http://www…

Windows 7 Complaints Begin Users of the new operating system say the upgrading process is buggy. But once the kinks are worked out, customers are liking Windows 7 a lot more than Vista. By David Goldman, CNNMoney.com staff writer NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Microsoft launched Windows 7 in late October to much fanfare. But, just like with previous Windows upgrades, complaints about bugs have already started rolling in. A whopping 31% of clients have reported problems with upgrading to Windows 7, according to a recent survey of more than 100,000 customers conducted by consumer helpdesk firm iYogi. "Most of the problems that customers have with Windows 7 h…

Casual sex isn't a bad thing at least not for young adults, according to a new study. University of Minnesota researchers asked more than 1,300 people age 18 to 24 about their most recent sexual encounters, their self-esteem and their emotional well-being and found the results startling. Only about one-fifth said their last encounter was casual, but their overall emotional status was no different than the four-fifths who said they were in a committed relationship. "We were so surprised," said Marla Eisenberg, an assistant professor at the university's School of Public Health. "The conventional wisdom is that casual sex, 'friends with benefits,' and hooking up is hurt…

UCLA researchers have successfully modified blood stem cells to specifically attack HIV. Apparently folks have theorized about this approach for years but only recently has the technology been available to make it something practical to implement. We can only hope that this won't turn out to be yet another dead end line of research. Note that, if it works out, this approach could be adapted to other persistant viruses. UCLA research

From Sky News today: A chemistry student has been found dead with his jaw blown off by what is believed to be exploding chewing gum. The 25-year-old's disfigured remains were discovered at his parent's home in the northern Ukrainian city of Konotop, reports in the Eastern European country said. The young man, who studied at Kiev Polytechnic Institute, was working at a computer late on Saturday when the alleged explosion happened. "A loud pop was heard from the student's room," the ukranews.com website said, citing an aide to the city's police chief. When his relatives entered the room, they saw that the lower part of the young man's face had been blown off." …

I have been told not to give up that I'll get better at sex the more I try. Here is a lady who got the same message: A South Korean woman is celebrating after passing the written exam for a driving licence - on her 950th attempt. After four years of trying, 68-year-old Cha Sa-soon finally managed to secure the 60 out of 100 points needed to pass the test. The grandmother has spent more than 5m won ($4,200, £2,600) on application fees for the test. Now Mrs Cha, who lives in Jeonju, 130 miles (210km) south of Seoul, must pass the practical test to get on the road. 'Don't give up' According to the Korean Driver's Licence Agency, the 50-minute written test consists of…

I know it is a little early, but I wanted to let everyone know that the new year's Phoenix Hoo-MER Pride get together will be the weekend of April 17-18. This will be the third year I have hosted the weekend celebration for fellow posters. If any of you fellow posters have the time/ability to come visit that weekend, it should be a fun time. Not only is it our gay pride weekend with a parade and two day festival, but we also have several strip clubs to see the local sites as well. Two are totally nude and one that is g-string/undies..Plus many of the bars have strippers on various nites as well. In the past two years, we have gotten together for trips to Dicks Cabaret, g…

A Brief History of Toilets By Claire Suddath, Time Magazine In case you didn't know (and honestly, why would you?), Nov. 19 is World Toilet Day — an event hosted by the World Toilet Organization to raise awareness for the 2.5 billion people around the world who live without proper sanitation. But even for those of us with access to modern plumbing, how often do we really think about our toilets? From outhouses to water closets — even former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain's $35,000 "commode on legs" (technically a table, not a toilet) — humans have been devising creative ways to go to the bathroom since, well, since the first person crossed his legs with an urgent need to …
