Breast cancer is a serious reality for me. It runs on both sides of the family. My dad's mother died with it, and my mom has had it for a couple decades with a new lump popping up every few years.

The more people interested in the topic, be it contributing toward research or at least keeping it in mind, the better the chances of finding a cure or preventing deaths because people would be more aware to check themselves out.

Her saying something like, "That's so cheesy. Can I get some wine with this cheese, please?" turned me off to her and I just felt sorry for the guy who went to A LOT of trouble getting a hundred people to learn this dance.

Anyway, so long as he's happy.

You gotta start somewhere and those yogurt lids are at least something good.

My mom and I used to volunteer for this Run/Walk for Women event in L.A., but it hasn't been held regularly for the past few years. Like if it happens, we'd just missed it.

Whiskey Made from Urine of Type-two Diabetics

Sure, you like your whiskey, but do you like it enough to try a whiskey made from the urine of elderly type-two diabetics?

Whiskey connoisseurs, listen up, because this is a whiskey you probably haven't heard of yet: Wired reports that designer, researcher and type-one diabetic James Gilpin has created a whiskey made from urine.

What made Gilpin decide to try this? Being a diabetic himself, he was fairly familiar with the condition and the resulting effect on the body. Large amounts of sugar are excreted by type-two diabetic patients on a daily basis, and this is especially true of elderly patients, so Gilpin decided that letting all that sugar go to waste was just, well, wasteful.

"Large amounts of sugar are excreted on a daily basis by type-two diabetic patients especially amongst the upper end of our aging population. Is it plausible to suggest that we start utilizing our water purification systems in order to harvest the biological resources that our elderly already process in abundance?" Gilpin asks on the Design Interactions 2010 graduates website.

Wired UK reports that the urine was acquired from a group of volunteers, including Gilpin's own grandmother, and then purified the same way mains water is purified.


Wired:

"The source material is acquired from elderly volunteers, including Gilpin's own grandmother. The urine is purified in the same way as mains water is purified, with the sugar molecules removed and added to the mash stock to accelerate the whisky's fermentation process. Traditionally, that sugar would be made from the starches in the mash.

Once fermented into a clear alcohol spirit, whisky blends are added to give colour, taste and viscosity, and the product is bottled with the name and age of the contributor."



If you want to try some of the whiskey, you best get yourself to London, as it's not going to be sold in the supermarket anytime soon. Gilpin Family Whiskey is more of an art project, and as such, will be on display at 100% Materials, a design and architecture show in September. There will also be tastings for the less squeamish of attendees.


Soooooo... who's up for trying this?

Posted on 10-04-11 06:51 PM, in "The Simpsons" might end this season if the actors don't take a pay cut Link
SOURCE


Simpsons May End This Season If Actors Don’t Accept Pay Cut

Fellow fans of The Simpsons, get ready to lift up your arms in protest. In a rather ballsy move, Fox is apparently threatening to pull the plug on the show if the voice actors don’t accept a 45 percent pay cut, according to The Daily Beast. The series concludes its 23rd season in the spring, and it may be the end if Fox makes good on its alleged threat.

For Fox, there are some definite upsides to the show ending, the least of which may be the inevitable Blu-ray mega-collection (and eventual Blu-ray 3D mega-collection– c’mon, you know it’s gonna happen). The studio was recently reported to be in early discussions concerning the future of The Simpsons after its legendary run comes to an end. The possibility of an all-Simpsons TV channel was mentioned, although some sort of digital streaming program, possibly even subscription-based, seems much more likely given the direction the world is headed.

Fox has issued a statement on the news to Deadline, and it sounds like the original report is accurate: “23 seasons in, The Simpsons is as creatively vibrant as ever and beloved by millions around the world. We believe this brilliant series can and should continue, but we cannot produce future seasons under its current financial model. We are hopeful that we can reach an agreement with the voice cast that allows The Simpsons to go on entertaining audiences with original episodes for many years to come.”

So there you have it. In short: The show is too expensive to produce in today’s climate, and cutbacks need to happen. It’ll be interesting to see how creator Matt Groening and his talented cast respond; salary issues are nothing new for the series, but the grim financial outlook in recent times is a hard thing to argue with.


What the hell, Fox? This isn't the first time the Simpsons has been in peril over pay, but haven't they learned anything when they put out those casting calls for Futurama as a way to scare them into taking less money when the show came back?

Seriously voice actors are among the most taken for granted talent out there, whether or not you think the show is still funny these days.


EDIT: Apparently Michael C. Hall who plays Dexter was offered $20 million for two more seasons, and has demanded $24 million. Neither side is budging.

The Simpsons actors make $8 million a season and are being forced to take a 45% cut.

Dad booked some of the tours finally, including a day-trip to the Pyramids.

Brandon's mom is on her way to pick us up for dinner (she's normally in Arizona), and we're getting dinner with her and Brandon's Aunt Michelle.

Michelle is having a baby shower this weekend. Looks like both mommy and baby are doing well, and with any luck Brandon will FINALLY have a cousin. Michelle and her husband, Miguel, have been trying so hard to conceive having had multiple miscarriages and one very upsetting abortion (the baby had a one-in-a-million spinal disease and would have died at birth ).

I'm so happy for her and Miguel!!

In other news, my friend Steffan (aka "Elfboy" in Rocky Horror circles) was an extra in the latest episode of House.

Also, got to spend a good chunk of the weekend with my mom's best friend (this woman she went to school with in the Philippines who now lives in Australia). She'd previously been diagnosed with liver cancer, which is in remission, and we took her around L.A. again. Good stuff.

Went to see the newly opened Terra Cotta Warriors of Xi'an exhibit at the Bowers this weekend ($25 a ticket, but it was the first Sunday of the month so admission was free).



There were only four of the warriors this time around. Three years ago, when they were sent from China, there were maybe 10.

I wish they allowed photography when I saw the piece of the Titanic at the Science Center too.

When I was at the Arizona Capitol Museum in Phoenix I snuck a touch of the piece of the USS Arizona on display. God, I'm a nerd.

Super-duper anal-rape explosion FUCK whoever this guy is who calls himself "Moz."

Evidence:


My boyfriend's band was tapped to play this "music festival" this Moz guy was putting together and promoting. At first he said it would have this one well-known metal band headlining and it would all be held at the Ramona Bowl. Then when Brandon contacted the venue, they said they'd never heard of this Moz guy.

Never deterred, Moz then made excuses that he was only considering the Ramona Bowl, but was now going to build his own stage in the middle of the Mojave Desert and have all these other headliners (whom Brandon looked up and noted were already booked the weekend of this so-called festival).

Anyway, Moz wanted all the bands to sell tickets (at $20 apiece and give him the money beforehand) and sign contracts.

This shit:


Note that there's no protection for the bands who sign this and that he doesn't give a specific amount to be paid for those in breach of contract. Pretty much this shitfuck owns your soul.

Thankfully, Brandon's bullshit detector went off early and not only did they not turn over the ticket money, but they didn't sign the contract and dropped out.

Unfortunately, other bands (most of which are unsigned, and therefore mostly inexperienced) did not pick up the scent and drove 350 miles roundtrip out to the desert to find NOTHING there. No real stage, no power, no food, no water, no vendors, no fans, no port-o-potties, NOTHING.

Not even Moz was there. And suddenly Moz is not answering his phone, his websites have all disappeared (although I was able to pull up older archived pages with the Wayback Machine and grab some extra contact info on him), and NO ONE even knows his real name.

The event's Facebook page were a lot of shit is going down: Link

Why am I pissed if I wasn't personally affected? Because this is bullshit! People like this shouldn't be allowed to EVER get away with their shit. My friends and I are livid, and looking into what we can do to help.

I don't have cable, but based on what I'm seeing in these clips I looked up, any time you see a disc in ancient art it MUST be a UFO. You know, not the sun.

I don't know. I don't really go for hokey, fakey history documentaries. Not that I don't believe in aliens, I mean, there's gotta be other life out there, it's just this comes off as conspiracy theory grasping that I'm a bit annoyed is on the History Channel at all.

We have some sort of address for him (the bands are looking into legal means, and an address would be necessary) by looking up his now defunct site in a who is search: Link.

Not sure if it's really Moz's or not.

I've been a bit inactive lately (well, inactive for me), seeing as I've actually been leaving the house.

Was barely home at all Saturday and Sunday. Went hiking/semi-rock climbing Saturday at Vasquez Rocks, where a lot of movies and TV shows have filmed (including Star Trek, Power Rangers, and so on).



Sunday, went to a museum (post about it in "History Geeks Unite" thread), and took our friend from Australia around L.A.

The rest of the time has been spent with Brandon's family that's in town getting ready for the baby shower this coming Saturday.

Well, since it's Xeo's birth month, I guess we better get to work on a mass shred session.

I've met the WBC. I've spoken with Shirley Phelps-Roper myself, and oddly enough she was SUPER nice. And honestly, I didn't feel like it was just a nice-for-the-camera sort of cordiality. Of course the moment my interview was done, some other guy jumped in to talk with her and she chewed him out for trying to put her down for her beliefs.

Now, does that mean I don't believe they're media whores? Fuck no.

They're pretty much just picketing things for the attention, and that's absolutely pathetic. I truly doubt they fully believe all the things they put on signs, and this is all because their patriarch, Fred Phelps, insists they conduct their bullshit.

All the same, it's hard to believe they can live with themselves after all the grief they put the loved ones of deceased soldiers and celebrities through. They argue that funerals are an exercise in worshiping the dead, which is blasphemy in their corrupted minds.

So I'm wondering what they're going to do when Fred finally kicks the bucket.


Elara: I'm not entirely sure what's going on with the other bands in terms of getting the cops and lawyers involved. Since no one has Moz's name, I'm not sure if they know where to send the subpoena or even a squad car.
