KELLY SLATER AND CAMERON DIAZ: Why Do Men Pay For Escorts?. . The first image that comes to my mind when hear the word Escort is an athletic woman with jet-black hair, sparkling brown eyes, olive tan, an incredible behind, a smile to die for and 4 inch black pump heels - at true Latina beauty. But that’s enough about me. So why is it that so many men contact women over the internet via On-Line Adult Directories and flip through local newspaper Adult Entertainment pages searching for the perfect hot n’ sexy date? Most men say they are lonely and would appreciate the company of a beautiful woman for just an hour or two to fill the void. Many men say that they pay for sex because it “is easy to get exactly what you want”. You don’t have to worry about any surprises. When you have the option of setting up a date by viewing a picture of your dream girl, reading her description and simply making a telephone call (or sending an e-mail) and your date shows up at your door 30 minutes later, it almost sounds too perfect. Other men that I have interviewed make a point to emphasize that paying for sex via calling upon an escort is ideal because there is “no emotional attachment with the other person”. You don’t have to sit down at a dinner table (unless you want to) and listen to your date go on and on about all of the generally boring stories about their life and what ails them. On the other hand, your date will readily listen to you ramble on about your personal problems as long as you are on the clock. Do men enjoy watching porn movies? Try this, ask 100 men if they have ever watched an adult movie and if the enjoy doing so. The overwhelming response to your question will undeniably be a YES. Some lucky guys do find a partner that enjoys porn just as much if not more than he does. Most men will agree that their girlfriend or wife does not watch porn however this may be not be the case for everyone you speak to. This is another reason some men pay for sex, they fantasize about ‘the porn-star experience’. Deep down inside the majority of men yearn for that wild, kinky, sloppy, crazy … you know what I mean. Paying a few hundred bucks for mind blowing latex fueled sex doesn’t sound like too bad of an investment if your regular (sex) life is boring. Variety and spice may be good thing. Not many men will admit they are afraid of rejection. Well guess what, we are. The vast majority of men would rather not be turned down after asking a girl out on a date or to a movie. It’s just a daunting thing. There are rarely turn down’s when arranging a date with an escort unless she is all booked or under the weather. Tomorrow is another day and your luck ought to improve with another telephone call. So you have just ended your 2 or 4 hour date with the woman of your dreams and she really seemed to care about you. Now she’s gone and guess what, you’re lonely again. Was it worth it? Only you will truly know. Dave Myers has interviewed 1000’s of Independent Escorts and countless owners of Escort Agencies and related Adult Entertainment providers in the past 25 years.

Christian Bale

Christian Bale is the youngest of four children. His parents are entrepreneur, commercial pilot and talent manager David Bale and circus clown and performer Jenny James, both English.[6] Bale spent his childhood in several countries, including the United Kingdom, Portugal, and the United States.[7] He lived in a house boat for a small amount of time. In 1976, when Christian was two years old, the Bale family left Wales. Bale’s family settled for four years in Bournemouth, where he attended Bournemouth School and participated actively in rugby union.[7] Christian has described his childhood, with respect to his mother being in the circus, as interesting. He recalled his first kiss was with an acrobat named Barta.[7] As a child, he trained in ballet and guitar.[7] His sister Louise’s work in theatre also influenced his decision to become an actor.[7] David Bale was very supportive of Christian’s acting. He resigned from his job as a commercial pilot to travel and manage Christian’s burgeoning career.[7] David Bale later married feminist icon Gloria Steinem on September 3, 2000. He died on December 30, 2003, from brain lymphoma at the age of 62.
Christian Bale’s first foray into acting was a Lenor, or Downey, commercial in 1982, when he was eight years old.[8] He appeared in a Pac-Man cereal commercial playing a child rock star a year later[9] and in 1984 made his stage debut in the West End play The Nerd, opposite Rowan Atkinson.

Christina Aguilera

Aguilera was born in Staten Island, New York City, New York, to Fausto Wagner Xavier Aguilera, a Sergeant in the U.S. Army at the time and Shelly Loraine Fidler, a Spanish teacher. Aguilera’s father was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, while her mother is of Irish descent (Christina’s maternal grandmother emigrated from County Clare). Her father, Fausto, was stationed at Earnest Harmon Air Force Base in Stephenville, Newfoundland, Canada and Japan. Christina Aguilera lived with her father and mother until she was seven years old. When Aguilera’s parents divorced, her mother took her, and her younger sister Rachel, to her grandmother’s home in Wexford, Pennsylvania, a White-collar suburb outside of Pittsburgh. According to both Aguilera and Fidler, her father was very controlling, as well as physically and emotionally abusive.[11] She later wrote about her difficult childhood in the songs “I’m OK” in Stripped, and “Oh Mother” in Back to Basics. Although her father has written to Aguilera, she has ruled out any chance to reunite with him.[12] Since then, Fidler has married a paramedic named Jim Kearns, and has changed her name to Shelly Kearns.
As a child, Aguilera aspired to be a singer. Her musical influences included Etta James,[14] Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston,[15] Nina Simone, and Madonna.[16] She also cites the musical The Sound of Music as an early inspiration for singing and performing.[17] As a child, she was known locally as “the little girl with the big voice”, singing in local talent shows and competitions.
According to VH1’s Driven, whenever competitors learned they would be up against her in any given week, they would immediately withdraw, prompting insiders to claim it was “like sending a lamb to the slaughter.” Her peers soon became jealous of her and would frequently subject her to ridicule, ostracism, and, in one gym class, attempted assault. Acts of vandalism around her house included the slashing of the tires on the family car. Eventually, the family relocated to another suburb in the Pittsburgh area and took to secrecy about Aguilera’s talent lest another backlash occur.

On March 15, 1990, she appeared on Star Search singing Etta James’ “A Sunday Kind of Love”, but lost the competition. Soon after losing on Star Search, she returned home and appeared on Pittsburgh’s KDKA-TV’s Wake Up with Larry Richert to perform the same song. People remarked that the then ten-year-old “sounded 20.”
Throughout her youth in Pittsburgh, Aguilera sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” before Pittsburgh Penguins hockey, Pittsburgh Steelers football and Pittsburgh Pirates baseball games. Her first major role in entertainment came in 1993 when she joined the Disney Channel’s variety show The New Mickey Mouse Club. Her co-stars included Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Rhona Bennett (who later became a member of En Vogue), Ryan Gosling, Britney Spears, and Keri Russell. According to the documentary Driven, Aguilera’s Mickey Mouse Club co-stars called her “the Diva”. One of her most notable performances was of Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing.”[19] When the show was canceled 1994, Aguilera began recording demos in an attempt to get signed to a record label.
At the age of fourteen, Aguilera recorded her first song, “All I Wanna Do”, a hit duet with Japanese singer Keizo Nakanishi.[20] In 1997, she represented the United States at the “Golden Stag” International Festival with a two-song set which included Sheryl Crow and Diana Ross.

In 2000, Christina Milian made her first official musical appearance on Ja Rule’s second studio album Rule 3:36, performing guest vocals on his song “Between Me and You”. Released as the album’s lead single in 2001, the track managed to peak at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and in the top 30 of the UK singles chart, building Milian’s reputation as a singer. Milian also appeared in Mya’s video for “Best of Me” playing a friend. In the meantime Milian co-wrote and provided extensive backing vocals for the track “Play” for Jennifer Lopez’s 2001 album J. Lo which became another success. Milian would later pass down the song to Lopez because of already having a club song with “AM to PM” as promotion. She also went on to co-write “Same Ol’ Same Ol”, the first single from girl group PYT’s debut album Down With Me.
In 2001, Milian eventually released her first solo single, “AM To PM”, off her self-titled debut album. The song became a worldwide hit reaching the top 5 in the UK and Denmark, top 10 in the Netherlands, and top 40 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and in Australia.

Ricci subsequently appeared in films like the independent hit Buffalo ‘66 (in which she played Vincent Gallo’s unwitting abductee-turned-girlfriend), John Waters’ Pecker, and Don Roos’ The Opposite of Sex (as the acid-tongued, manipulative Dede). For her performance as Deedee, Ricci won acclaim and was nominated for a Golden Globe and attained the unofficial title of the Sundance Film Festival’s 1998 “It” Girl.[citation needed] Although she missed out on an Oscar nomination, Entertainment Weekly honored her well-received performance as one of the “Worst Oscar Snubs Ever”.[7]
Later films included Sleepy Hollow (alongside Johnny Depp), Monster, and Prozac Nation (which featured her first on-screen nude scene). Ricci had to turn down the role of Ronna in Go because of scheduling conflicts; the role eventually went to Sarah Polley. Ricci was turned down four times for the role of Dolores Haze in Lolita, and the role eventually went to Dominique Swain.

Ricci made a cameo appearance on Beck’s successful Guero, providing the cameo voice on Hell Yes.
In February 2006, Ricci made a guest appearance as a paramedic in the ABC drama Grey’s Anatomy, for which she was nominated for an Emmy award. She was a guest star for seven episodes in the last season of Ally McBeal in 2002 as Debbie ‘Liza’ Bump, a lawyer who worked at Cage & Fish and married Richard Fish in the last episode.

On December 4, 1999, she appeared as the guest host on Saturday Night Live. She performed parodies of Britney Spears and the Olsen Twins. During one of her skits, she accidentally punched actress Ana Gasteyer in the face. The skit was a parody of the Sally Jessy Raphael show, in which she played a 13-year-old run-a-way who sleeps with dogs, and required her to fake-punch Gasteyer, but accidentally ended up really hitting Gasteyer in the eye. Although Gasteyer initially reacted by putting her hands over her mouth in surprise, she quickly fell back into character.

During the beginning of her career, the mole was removed from many of her earlier modeling pictures, including her first Vogue cover.
She was discovered by chance by a newspaper photographer, who noticed then-16-year-old Cindy at work during her summer job of pollinating corn and took a picture of her. The photo and the positive feedback she received were enough to convince her to take up modeling. She entered the John Casablancas Look of the Year contest and was the runner up.
Crawford graduated from DeKalb High School in 1984, as valedictorian [1] with a 4.0 GPA.[citation needed] She won an academic scholarship to study chemical engineering at Northwestern University, which she attended for only one quarter.

Aguilera’s father was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador, while her mother is of Irish descent (Christina’s maternal grandmother emigrated from County Clare). Her father, Fausto, was stationed at Earnest Harmon Air Force Base in Stephenville, Newfoundland, Canada and Japan. Christina Aguilera lived with her father and mother until she was seven years old. When Aguilera’s parents divorced, her mother took her, and her younger sister Rachel, to her grandmother’s home in Wexford, Pennsylvania, a White-collar suburb outside of Pittsburgh. According to both Aguilera and Fidler, her father was very controlling, as well as physically and emotionally abusive.[11] She later wrote about her difficult childhood in the songs “I’m OK” in Stripped, and “Oh Mother” in Back to Basics. Although her father has written to Aguilera, she has ruled out any chance to reunite with him.[12] Since then, Fidler has married a paramedic named Jim Kearns, and has changed her name to Shelly Kearns.
As a child, Aguilera aspired to be a singer. Her musical influences included Etta James,[14] Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston,[15] Nina Simone, and Madonna.[16] She also cites the musical The Sound of Music as an early inspiration for singing and performing.[17] As a child, she was known locally as “the little girl with the big voice”, singing in local talent shows and competitions.
According to VH1’s Driven, whenever competitors learned they would be up against her in any given week, they would immediately withdraw, prompting insiders to claim it was “like sending a lamb to the slaughter.” Her peers soon became jealous of her and would frequently subject her to ridicule, ostracism, and, in one gym class, attempted assault. Acts of vandalism around her house included the slashing of the tires on the family car. Eventually, the family relocated to another suburb in the Pittsburgh area and took to secrecy about Aguilera’s talent lest another backlash occur.

On March 15, 1990, she appeared on Star Search singing Etta James’ “A Sunday Kind of Love”, but lost the competition. Soon after losing on Star Search, she returned home and appeared on Pittsburgh’s KDKA-TV’s Wake Up with Larry Richert to perform the same song. People remarked that the then ten-year-old “sounded 20.”
Throughout her youth in Pittsburgh, Aguilera sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” before Pittsburgh Penguins hockey, Pittsburgh Steelers football and Pittsburgh Pirates baseball games. Her first major role in entertainment came in 1993 when she joined the Disney Channel’s variety show The New Mickey Mouse Club. Her co-stars included Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Rhona Bennett (who later became a member of En Vogue), Ryan Gosling, Britney Spears, and Keri Russell. According to the documentary Driven, Aguilera’s Mickey Mouse Club co-stars called her “the Diva”. One of her most notable performances was of Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing.”[19] When the show was canceled 1994, Aguilera began recording demos in an attempt to get signed to a record label.
At the age of fourteen, Aguilera recorded her first song, “All I Wanna Do”, a hit duet with Japanese singer Keizo Nakanishi.[20] In 1997, she represented the United States at the “Golden Stag” International Festival with a two-song set which included Sheryl Crow and Diana Ross.

Christina Milian

In 2000, Christina Milian made her first official musical appearance on Ja Rule’s second studio album Rule 3:36, performing guest vocals on his song “Between Me and You”. Released as the album’s lead single in 2001, the track managed to peak at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and in the top 30 of the UK singles chart, building Milian’s reputation as a singer. Milian also appeared in Mya’s video for “Best of Me” playing a friend. In the meantime Milian co-wrote and provided extensive backing vocals for the track “Play” for Jennifer Lopez’s 2001 album J. Lo which became another success. Milian would later pass down the song to Lopez because of already having a club song with “AM to PM” as promotion. She also went on to co-write “Same Ol’ Same Ol”, the first single from girl group PYT’s debut album Down With Me.
In 2001, Milian eventually released her first solo single, “AM To PM”, off her self-titled debut album. The song became a worldwide hit reaching the top 5 in the UK and Denmark, top 10 in the Netherlands, and top 40 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and in Australia. The success of “AM To PM” sparked the international release of the Christina Milian album which she co-wrote and produced, although not in the United States. The second single “When You Look At Me” was another international hit reaching the top 5 in the UK, Netherlands, and Ireland and making the top 40 in Denmark, Germany, Australia, and France. Although a music video for the album’s third single “Get Away” (another collaboration with Ja Rule) was filmed in Paris, the single wasn’t released officially.
Afterwards Milian also was featured on the track “It’s All Gravy”, a duet with British Rapper Romeo of the UK garage group So Solid Crew. While the song was another UK top ten hit single in 2002, Milian provided the theme song for the hit Disney series Kim Possible, “Call Me Beep Me” later that year. In 2002, she also collaborated with Hilary Duff on her Christmas album Santa Claus Lane, on the song “I heard Santa On the Radio.”

Christina Ricci

In 1997, Christina Ricci began to appear in more adult roles, beginning with her role as the troubled, sexually curious Wendy Hood in Ang Lee’s critically acclaimed The Ice Storm. Ricci subsequently appeared in films like the independent hit Buffalo ‘66 (in which she played Vincent Gallo’s unwitting abductee-turned-girlfriend), John Waters’ Pecker, and Don Roos’ The Opposite of Sex (as the acid-tongued, manipulative Dede). For her performance as Deedee, Ricci won acclaim and was nominated for a Golden Globe and attained the unofficial title of the Sundance Film Festival’s 1998 “It” Girl.[citation needed] Although she missed out on an Oscar nomination, Entertainment Weekly honored her well-received performance as one of the “Worst Oscar Snubs Ever”.[7]
Later films included Sleepy Hollow (alongside Johnny Depp), Monster, and Prozac Nation (which featured her first on-screen nude scene). Ricci had to turn down the role of Ronna in Go because of scheduling conflicts; the role eventually went to Sarah Polley. Ricci was turned down four times for the role of Dolores Haze in Lolita, and the role eventually went to Dominique Swain. Ricci was originally slated to play the lead in Ghost World (2001), but by the time it was filmed she was too old for the part and had moved on to other projects. Thora Birch (Ricci’s co-star in Now And Then) took over the role. Ricci also turned down a role in Loser. Ricci made a cameo appearance on Beck’s successful Guero, providing the cameo voice on Hell Yes.
In February 2006, Ricci made a guest appearance as a paramedic in the ABC drama Grey’s Anatomy, for which she was nominated for an Emmy award. She was a guest star for seven episodes in the last season of Ally McBeal in 2002 as Debbie ‘Liza’ Bump, a lawyer who worked at Cage & Fish and married Richard Fish in the last episode. It was initially hoped that Ricci and several other noted guest star appearances would boost Ally McBeal’s then declining ratings.[8]
On December 4, 1999, she appeared as the guest host on Saturday Night Live. She performed parodies of Britney Spears and the Olsen Twins. During one of her skits, she accidentally punched actress Ana Gasteyer in the face. The skit was a parody of the Sally Jessy Raphael show, in which she played a 13-year-old run-a-way who sleeps with dogs, and required her to fake-punch Gasteyer, but accidentally ended up really hitting Gasteyer in the eye. Although Gasteyer initially reacted by putting her hands over her mouth in surprise, she quickly fell back into character.

Christopher Walken

Christopher Walken was born Ronald Walken (named after actor Ronald Colman) into a Methodist family in Queens, New York. His mother, Rosalie, was a Scottish immigrant, and his father, Paul Walken, was a German immigrant.[6] Both of his parents were bakers. Throughout his youth, Walken worked after school in the family bakery, Walken’s Bakery, which was situated on Broadway and 30th Street in the Astoria neighborhood of Queens, New York. Walken often worked alongside a young immigrant girl interested in learning all about the food business, Lidia Motika, who grew up to become acclaimed restauranteur and TV cooking show host Lidia Bastianich; the two have remained close ever since[7].
Influenced by their mother’s own dreams of stardom, he and his brothers Ken and Glenn were child actors on television in the 1950s. Walken studied at Hofstra University on Long Island but did not graduate. Walken initially trained as a dancer in musical theatre before moving on to dramatic roles in theatre and then film.

Cindy Crawford

Born in DeKalb, Illinois, to John “Dan” Crawford and Jennifer Sue Walker Crawford in 1966, Cindy Crawford’s trademark is a visible mole (or “beauty mark”) on her upper lip. She is so closely associated with this physical feature that she appeared in an advertising campaign for chocolates featuring commercials wherein she “licked off” her own mole. During the beginning of her career, the mole was removed from many of her earlier modeling pictures, including her first Vogue cover.
She was discovered by chance by a newspaper photographer, who noticed then-16-year-old Cindy at work during her summer job of pollinating corn and took a picture of her. The photo and the positive feedback she received were enough to convince her to take up modeling. She entered the John Casablancas Look of the Year contest and was the runner up.
Crawford graduated from DeKalb High School in 1984, as valedictorian [1] with a 4.0 GPA.[citation needed] She won an academic scholarship to study chemical engineering at Northwestern University, which she attended for only one quarter. She dropped out in order to pursue a full-time modeling career. After working for photographer Victor Skrebneski in Chicago, Cindy moved to Manhattan in 1986.
Her brother died at a young age from leukemia, and Crawford has made childhood leukemia a focal point of her charity work, donating proceeds of her calendars to medical research.

Clay Aiken attended Raleigh’s Leesville Road High School and took courses at Campbell University before enrolling at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

While attending college in Charlotte he took a part-time job as an assistant to a boy with autism, and it was this child’s mother, Diane Bubel, who urged him to audition for American Idol. Although his American Idol activities temporarily delayed his academic pursuits, Aiken completed his course work while on tour and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in special education in December of 2003.

If you’re longing to watch those beautiful deer come in your own backyard, or you want to allure deer to a specific hunting stand, deer feeders are an excellent solution. Deer feeders play an important role in deer hunting and deer watching because they help allure deer to desired area. Here are some great ways to use deer feeders and tips for getting great results.

Watch Deer Swarm to Your Yard

There’s nothing more beautiful than to watch deer feeding in nature. If you live in a wooded area, you’re in the perfect spot for deer watching. Place your deer feeder in your yard where you can see it from a window - perhaps a kitchen window or living area window. Keep the deer feeder far enough away where the deer won’t get spooked, but close enough to enjoy watching them when they arrive. Some deer feeders have been known to attract entire families of deer. This is a real treat, and the kids will love it!

You can use a regular deer feeder or protein feeder, but be sure to mix in some corn or rice brand. If corn or rice brand alone doesn’t attract deer to the area, try adding apples to the feeder and placing a water trough nearby as well. Water and food together are sure to get attention. Deer are also attracted to salt licks and peanut butter. You can try spreading some peanut butter on nearby trees to create a trail to your deer feeder.

Keep a close eye on your deer feeder to make sure other animals aren’t getting to it before the deer. If placing the feeder in a pasture where there are cows, use rice brand instead of corn. Cows usually will not eat rice brand. Also, use a feeder that’s too high off the ground for the cows to reach, but just the right height for a large deer.

A Nature Photographer’s Dream

If you are a nature photographer, deer feeders are perfect for capturing deer on film in their natural habitat. A feeder can be placed within a wooded area or in your own backyard. Be sure to place the feeder where you can snap photos without scaring away the deer. If you use a professional lens with an extra long zoom, you should have no problem photographing the deer from a distance. As long as the deer can’t hear or see you while you’re taking the photos, you’ll be able to capture some great images!

Deer Feeders for Hunting

While hunting, deer feeders are a great way to attract deer to your stand or any area you wish. Keep in mind, however, that deer also feed on acorns. If the area where you hunt has an abundance of oak trees, the acorns will compete heavily with your deer feeder during the fall season. If there are very few oak trees, either use a feeder away from the oak trees, or look for deer droppings around a few trees to find a hot spot for deer. You might get lucky!

You can attract deer to your feeder using the same methods as mentioned for the backyard feeder. Cover the feeder to keep out the rain and leaves. Also, provide a water supply near the feeder if possible. Use a water trough or dig a mini-pond. If there’s already a nearby stream or creek, place your stand and deer feeder near the water. When deer come to drink, your feeder will be waiting for them!

Where to Find Deer Feeders

You can find a variety of deer feeders at local retailers or online. Online stores offer many other great items such as deer feeder fillers, deep fried rib racks, grills, custom smokers, beerbutt chicken cookers and more.

Use these deer feeder tips to maximize your deer hunting experience or to start drawing those beautiful deer to your own backyard!

CELINE DIONE LAS VEGAS: Adrien Brody - Zero to Hero. . One of the least typecast actors in Hollywood, Adrien Brody — star of the new period biopic Hollywoodland — has defied critics by choosing a wide range of roles on the basis that they “look like fun”. This approach has taken him from the most serious role imaginable, as a Polish Jew in Roman Polanski’s The Pianist, to portraying Jack Driscoll in Peter Jackson’s big budget adventure King Kong. Despite Brody’s seemingly overnight success in The Pianist — a role that made him the youngest actor to win the Oscar for Best Actor — he had actually been struggling to make a name for himself since he appeared in Steven Soderbergh’s 1993 movie King of the Hill. He went on to receive praise for his turns in The Thin Red Line and Summer of Sam, but wasn’t widely noticed until the success of The Pianist. Since his Oscar success, however, Brody’s movies — with the exception of M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village — have tended to underperform at the box office. His 2005 psychological thriller The Jacket made only $15million at the worldwide box office, barely half of its $28million budget. Even the blockbuster King Kong failed to live up to expectations. In fact, his only success since The Pianist came from Esquire Magazine, who voted him Best Dressed Man in America 2004. All this may be set to change, though, with the release of Hollywoodland, Brody’s crime drama/biopic of Louis Simo, the detective investigating the suspicious death of TV’s Superman, George Reeves, in 1959. Including Brody himself, the movie boasts two Oscar winners and two nominees — Ben Affleck, Bob Hoskins and Diane Lane. Such star power, combined with reports that Hollywoodland was described before production began as “one of the best scripts unproduced”, will have Brody hoping to return to our good graces and box office success. Will it work? Well, we’ll have to wait and see.James Shenton is an oft-published entertainment writer and celebrity gossip columnist from New York. .

CATHERINE ZETA JONES SEAN CONNERY: USO Sending Paris Hilton Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson to Iraq. . It definitely looks like it’s time for everyone to lighten up. Yesterday General Electric the parent company of NBC, fresh from their success with the Madonna concert at Wembley Stadium in London announced that it had instructed its news anchors to now refer to the conflict in Iraq as a “Civil War.” Today President Bush fired back that Iraq was not in a “Civil War.” A Civil War according to the dictionaries is defined as a struggle between various groups (or regions) of a country. If that’s the case then why wasn’t Iraq called a Civil War months ago? Are we all illiterate or just completely spun out and brainwashed? President Bush is a stubborn Southern Man. Years ago Neil Young wrote a song about the American Civil War called “Southern Man”. Here are the lyrics: “Southern man better keep your head, Don’t forget what your good book said, Southern change gonna come at last, Now your crosses are burning fast, Southern man, I saw cotton and I saw black, Tall White Mansions and little shacks. Southern man when will you pay them back? I heard screamin’ and bullwhips cracking How long? How long? Southern man better keep your head, Don’t forget what your good book said, Southern change gonna come at last, Now your crosses are burning fast. Southern man. Lily Belle your hair is golden brown, I’ve seen your black man comin’ round, Swear by God I’m gonna cut him down! I heard screamin’ and bullwhips cracking How long? How long?” Now we are told that Iraq is having a Civil War. Isn’t that an oxymoron? The Americans and the Iraqis are certainly not acting in a civil fashion. People are definitely not engaged in a civil war when they routinely use power drills on their captives’ bodies prior to beheading them in snuff films shown on Al- Jazeera television. No wonder President Bush turned off the power in Bag Dad. Doesn’t he remind you of Prince Charles just waiting for the Queen to die? King charles will be a King who once stated that he wished to reincarnate as Camilla’s bicycle seat. No wonder England no longer has an Empire. At least New York has an Empire State building. For the past 3 years President Bush has been pounded by journalists and voters alike because the journalists and voters claim that there was no connection between 9/11, Al Qaeda and Iraq, and the White House insists that there was in order to justify Iraq. Weren’t the Al Qaeda hijackers on 9/11 and the Iraqis all Muslim? President Bush said today that the sectarian violence rocking Iraq is not civil war but part of an Al Qaeda plot to use violence to goad Iraqi factions into repeatedly attacking each other. “No question it’s tough, no question about it,” Mr. Bush said at a news conference with Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves. “There’s a lot of sectarian violence taking place, fomented in my opinion because of the attacks by al Qaeda in Iraq causing people to seek reprisal.” Hasn’t anyone told President Bush that Al Qaeda are Sunnis fighting the Shiites? Hasn’t anyone mentioned to President Bush that sectarian violence is the definition of Civil War? Maybe he thinks that Civil War is only when the North fights the South, or the Sunni East fights the Western Shiites and the Northern Kurds. In any event Estonian President Ilves pledged to send a troop to Iraq because just in case America wins he wants a share of the oil. Where is Estonia? Is it really even a country or just some fiction created by the White House to bolster their baloney about having a coalition of the willing? Very few people are still willing to listen to President Bush’s baloney any longer including his own American people. It turns out that the Dixie Chicks were right and the Americans were wrong three years ago to stop playing the Chicks’ music on the radio and for refusing to buy their albums. Why aren’t the American media screaming that it was President Bush who brought Al Qaeda into Iraq in the first place? They wouldn’t dare go near Iraq when President Hussein was living it up in his golden palaces with his golden showers. In January 2004 CBS News became involved in their own civil war. They aired a story about President Bush’s National Guard service. It was decided that some of the facts were wrong and CBS News fired 4 of their staffers including 3 executives including senior vice president Betsy West, executive producer Josh Howard and senior broadcast producer Mary Murphy aka Eminem. At the time CBS Chairman Leslie Moonves issued this statement on behalf of CBS: “We deeply regret the disservice this flawed 60 Minutes Wednesday report did to the American public, which has a right to count on CBS News for fairness and accuracy.” CBS had reported that President Bush had failed to appear for a physical exam while in the National Guard. CBS News asked former Attorney General Dick Thornburgh and former Associated Press President Louis Boccardi to conduct an independent investigation into the matter and they prepared a 224 page report. White House spokesman Scott McClellan said the administration appreciated CBS’ steps to hold people accountable. Conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh insisted the network “had an axe to grind” with President Bush. Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz said it would take the network a long time to get over “a high-profile blunder.” Al Gore got more votes in the 2000 election but lost to President Bush. This CBS mountain out of a molehill incident and the Swift Boat baloney cost John Kerry the Presidency and handed it to President Bush. The story didn’t even mention that President Bush was a lying warmongering deserting alcoholic. In the good book Jesus Christ says, “You strain at gnats yet you swallow camels whole.”Presently a bipartisan panel, led by Daddy’s former Secretary of State James Baker III and former Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind. is trying to figure out a new strategy in Iraq. The members, according to CBS News correspondent David Martin have agreed on an all-out diplomatic offensive with Iraq’s neighbors - including Iran and Syria - to get help in stabilizing Iraq. However President Bush continued to express his reluctance to talk with two nations he regards as pariah states working to destabilize the Middle East. Who came up with the phrase “People who live in White Houses shouldn’t throw stones”? Meanwhile David Icke reports that Daddy Bush is in Saudi Arabia at a s

Hi, Dr. Dennis

I am a 34 year old woman who is insanely attracted (you could even say devoted) to a 56 year old man who still makes me melt after almost 4 years of knowing him. We have seen photos of each other, but our only contact has been via e-mail and telephone - never in person.

I met this man while I was still married. Our business relationship turned friendly, and after a year and a half of a friendly relationship, our talks led to more intimate and personal subjects - I can honestly say I was the one who was curious about his sexual likes and dislikes…he has always been a perfect gentleman and has never placed an emphasis on anything sexual (that is INSANELY attractive to me).

After a year of a VERY intense emotional relationship (this man had proven to me that he would wait as long as he had to for me), I had beat myself into an emotional frenzy because I felt I was cheating on my husband, so I ended our “romantic” relationship. I love the man dearly - he has my heart - so I explained that I wanted to still be friends. He wanted to have contact as friends once or twice a month, which I could not have lived with, so he said he needed a couple of weeks to get used to the “new order of things” - going from a very intimate friendship to a platonic friendship, then he contacted me at the end of a “2 week hiatus”.

That was 1 year ago this month, and I have since divorced my husband (for narcotic addiction - not because of my feelings for this other man). I poured my heart out to this man a couple of months ago, basically telling him how much I still care for him, and I wish he would give our romantic relationship another chance - at least meet me in person before he gives up on us altogether.

This was a man that was absolutely CRAZY about me last year, but he told me recently that he did not see a future with me, even though he has a “great deal of affection for me that he cannot deny”. Lately, he has been growing more distant - his phone calls are down from 8 a month to 3 or 4, and his emails are only 1 per week now instead of 3 or 4. My divorce will be final in 2 1/2 weeks, and I am wondering if he is trying to distance himself from me now in an attempt to build attraction since we plan to visit in person soon after my divorce is final?

I keep reading all this advice to men to create distance from women to build attraction while still leaving them on her agenda. I feel he is doing this to me - or maybe I am just HOPING that is what he is doing.

Could he be trying to get rid of me altogether since I am about to be divorced because he would think I was “needy” or something? He said he is very attracted to my physical appearance (I was voted best-looking in high school and have held my own over the years), my analytical ability, my positive outgoing attitude, my intelligence, and my devotion to my family and friends - those are his words, not mine. Could a man throw away a woman who was once the woman of his dreams? We have stayed such good friends since the “romantic breakup”, but now he is creating all this distance - it’s not normal for him.

And for all you men who have read this far, here’s a tip for you - this man made me fall HARD for him because he was a perfect gentleman who truly listened to what I said and could even ask me questions about it later. He is VERY intelligent and well-spoken, and has a genuine interest in every facet of my life. And yes, I love him because he stands his ground and did not let an emotional outburst I had get to him - he is very strong emotionally without ever having walked all over my emotions. He is very optimistic and supportive of me which goes a long way.

I want this man, and without sounding too conceited, I just cannot understand why he would not want me, but it appears that way right now. Do you have any idea why he is creating all this distance from me right before we are supposed to meet?

He KNOWS I would not sleep with a man that was not devoted to me long term, so him telling me he does not see a future with me is not promising. Maybe he just wants the sex and is being honest with me about his standing on a long-term commitment since we are good friends. Or maybe he can’t say anything about a long-term commitment since he has not seen me in person yet? I know men are visual creatures like that.

Do you have any suggestions on what I could do to show him that I would never leave him again now that I am soon to be legally divorced? I completely crushed this man (and myself) last year and I beat myself up for it daily, but I want him to feel secure with me again now that I am free to be with him.

I would really appreciate any help you could provide. Thanks.

Hello!

First - to any guy that’s reading this, I strongly urge you to NOT use this as an example what to - or not to - do. In fact, you should never take relationship/dating advice from women unless they’re lesbians and even then, their target market is rather different from yours! Buyer beware!

Sorry - this may work for you, but trust me, your situation; like your relationship, is very different from the “norm”. Any guy that believes this will work is going to find out the hard way that it won’t. Then, they’re going to write to me, very unhappy with the results.

Yes, I can tell you exactly what’s going on here. You’ve spent the last 4 years building up an emotional connection that frankly, only exists in your mind. Your brain actually takes in information at over 60,000 impressions PER SECOND. That’s a tremendous rate of information, and if your brain doesn’t have access to the real information, it “fills in the gaps” by giving you whatever it is that you want. In your case, you filled in the gaps with all the intellectual/emotional “chemistry” without having the actual impressions to work with.

Consider this: when you’re “in person” you get not only the verbal part of communication, but a much bigger part is missing: non-verbal. You can’t watch the tilt of his head, the almost instantaneous, impreceptable movement of the corner of his mouth and the slight changes in his complexion. Instead, you’ve spent many hours on the phone and via email getting none of this! Your mind has “inserted” this information for you since it wasn’t there. I’m sorry to say that you are (in effect) in love with a ghost!

While you’ve been building all of this up and creating all the things you need to want this man, he’s been denied what he needs! Even worse, you’ve now required that he create something that doesn’t even exist to get it! You demand (as you stated) that he “devotes” to you when in fact, there is nothing there (other than huge phone bills) on which to base such an expectation.

Here’s something you really need to understand: men and women use sex and physical intimacy VERY differently; at least in the beginning of the relationship. You (as a woman) use sex to create bonding and inimacy. Men on the other hand use sex to determine if we WANT TO create bonding and intimacy! This period only lasts for a short while and if you miss it, it’s very difficult to get back - almost impossible.

Go back and re-read that paragraph until the idea really sinks in. You need to understand why; while getting what you want, you’ve also shot yourself in the foot by denying him what HE needs in order to be where you are!

In effect, he’s passed through all of the phases that you’ve been building up to. He may very well have been where you are now years ago. However, by not having the physical aspect of a relationship with you, his mind decided to relieve this pain by taking away his need for you. In effect, he’s fallen out of love with you and has become nothing more than a friend and maybe even less than that.

Right now, his contact with you is probably more out of habit than out of need. By putting such huge requirements on him in order to even build anything from this point forward, he’s probably just given up and is moving on emotionally if not mentally. This is why he sees no “future” with you. It’s based entirely on your past together.

All people interested in relationships need to understand this point: all relationships have a “window of opportunity” where both people’s needs coincide. Many women (and sometimes men) try to artifically manipulate this window by saying things like, “Let’s take this slow” or in other ways like preventing or putting of first meetings (as in this case). What this does is to destroy the chance for the relationship to begin to ripen. It never leaves this “proto-stage” and eventually withers and dies.

I regret to say that this is likely where things are for you now. You’ve spent far too much time “selling” and no time “delivering”. While this may have worked well for you, it absolutely didn’t work for him. I can say this with great assurity; both from being a man and having talked to many, many thousands.

At this point, I’m not very confident in your ability to “right” this situation. I’ll bet that on top of all history here, you’re also at some distance away from each other - maybe hours or even days. With this added problem you aren’t going to “fix” things here unless one of you moves and even then, you still have to get past the history!

If you two are local enough to get together regularly (like instead of calling), I strongly urge you to do that right away. Without being in person, you’re never going to work this out, and frankly, I doubt it even then.

Best regards…

It seems like decades ago, in America, tattoos were commonly associated with bikers, gang members, and convicts. They were certainly not as popular and accepted as they have become today. The truth is, tattoos have been around for centuries. Even 3000 years before Christ, kings had tattoos to demonstrate their rank and authority. When the European explorers crossed the Pacific Ocean, they traveled to Tahiti, where many of it’s people had exquisite tattoos, as well as Indian Tribes, to demonstrate their tribal rite. Thus, the name tattoo was born, which in the Tahitian language means to “mark”.

Chinese and Japanese tattoos have become very well known for their artistic beauty and flair. A friend of mine has a beautiful Chinese symbol on her back which represents friendship and love. The Chinese and Japanese Calligraphies are exotic and mysterious which enhances the desire for these beautiful symbols. However, it is important to do the proper research of these languages as you would not like to have a permanent mark on your body which had a meaning you might not understand and later regret.

Many African cultures and tribes have been featured on the covers and pages of National Geographic and other highly revered magazines displaying their distinguished marks of family, tribes, and accomplishments. These tattoos have been around for hundreds of years. The popularity has grown from centuries ago, and spread to European, Mideastern, South American, North American, Asian, Austrailian countries and many other countries and cultures throughout the world.

Chances are, many of your favorite celebrities have at least one tattoo. In the music and entertainment world, some of the celebrities that have tattoos are: Pamela Anderson, Kid Rock, Angelina Jolie, Cher, Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck, Robert Dinero, Johnny Depp, Jennifer Aniston, Beyonce, Eminem, Xzibit, 50 Cent, Nelly, Usher, Mark Wahlberg, Diddy, Billy Idol, Anna Kournikova, Dwayne Johnson-The Rock, Kanye West, Missy Elliot, Michael Jordan, Paris Hilton, Madonna, Rosie O’Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg.and Halle Berry, just to name a few. The list goes on and on Even Franklin D. Roosevelt, Sir Winston Churchill, and Thomas Edison had tattoos. But how can I even mention the word tattoo, without including rockers Tommy Lee, and Dave Navarro, and members of Green Day, Limp Bizkit, and Blink 182? They are covered with some pretty wild and awesome tattoos!

Whether you are famous or not, for most people, tattoos have a special meaning and have gained a new understanding and acceptance. It is a representation of what you want people to know about you and what you stand for. A tattoo is a message about you, to yourself and others. So take your time in choosing the one that is right for YOU.
