Most bizarre online dating sites

This site is filled with gothy EMO types who’ll take you to see The Cure and read you Victorian poetry. While you’ll see plenty of eyeliner, lip rings and tattoos on Gothic Match, most members are ordinary people simply looking to connect with someone who appreciates the darker side of life.

Date by the book at this spot that pairs partners based on reading preferences. While Alikewise is perfect for serious bookworms looking for a lad who’ll debate the last line of Lolita, more casual readers can connect with guys who share their more general interests like cooking or travel. Browsing a man’s virtual bookshelf—complete with notes on each entry—can reveal a lot about his intelligence, humor and taste, three factors that could help you write your own happy ending.



While discussing politics is taboo on a first date, where you stand is bound to influence your relationship down the road. These two dating sites, Blue State for Democrats and Red State for Republicans, match singles based on a three-part assessment that covers economic matters, foreign policy and social issues.

Rallying around a common cause creates a low-pressure environment with far fewer of those anxiety-inducing awkward silences frequently found on first dates.

**This next ones for me!!!***

Women who really like bad boys can start a pen pal relationship with this unusual online service. While we don’t advocate dating a convicted felon—or any criminal for that matter—we had to share Meet-An-Inmate to prove that there’s a dating website out there for absolutely everyone, including jailbirds and the girls who want to love them from beyond the bars.

Hannibal - Episode 9 - Trou Normand

I usually don’t display my “Hannibal” reviews on this site first it’s usually done somewhere else first (try and guess where) but last night episode of Hannibal was too good to sit on.

In a few weeks NBC will decide on this show. If this show goes out it will do it with a bang.

Hannibal - Episode 9 - Trou Normand

The episode we see the world’s sickest totem pole of human beings Will and Jack are in Grafton, West Virginia and Will immediately goes to work. Will pictures that this killer has planned out this murder spree for month’s maybe years. 

(Will as the killer) with the last piece of his puzzle (and top totem pole victim looking on). Will stabs the male, an drop of blood hits him in the eye. Will blacks-out or just awakens and is in the hallways of Dr. Lecter's Office. Hannibal is worried about him and we are faced with wondering is this reality or a compilation of Will's investigations.

Abigail Hobbs is in a mental institution speaking to a counseling circle and admitting her father told her he killed girls so that he didn't kill her. As she looks up she sees she is talking to her father’s victims and also the man she murdered. Will is trying to tell Jack about his blackout in West VA and appearing at Dr. Lecter's offices but decides not to. Also, Abigail Hobbs is agreeing to write a book to tell her side with Freddie Lounds.

Seventeen bodies were found in the totem pole. The coroner suggests that all seem to be accidental deaths but Will feels they are all murders. While going over the notes of the case in the FBI center Dr. Bloom tells Will she wants to get involved with him but he is unstable. Abigail Hobbs tells Will and Dr. Lecter that she intends to write a book in order to tell that she is not a murderer and Dr. Lecter wants her to realize that even more out lash that could come from even that. The scene closes with a person in the cold with an ax digging to reveal another body in the ground.

Nicholas Boyle is the man uncovered. Jack wants Abigail to identify the body and Will and Dr. Bloom disagree with it strongly. Jack don't care and has Abigail ID the body as he puts her thought vigorous question standing in front of Nick's corpse. Dr. Lecter knows that Abigail is the one that uncovered the body and states that he may not be able to trust her anymore.

So apparently the guy who killed everyone on the totem pole (Lawrence Wells) is the father of the guy at the top (Joel Summers) although he doesn't know it until Will and Jack confronts the octogenarian in his home. 

Mr. Wells tells them that he lead them to him. Because apparently murder and prison is basically better than living in West Virginia. And apparently Mr. Wells is shocked to find the only relative he has he murdered because he thought it was fun to smile on the inside  at funerals. (He actually said that) Will finally gets the revelation that Abigail killed Nick. He confronts Hannibal about it abut Dr. Lecter convinces Will not to tell Jack stating “They are her fathers now”

Our favorite chef is at it again. I lie to you not THIS my favorite part of the show is when Hannibal cooks. EVERYTHING is presented so deliciously . You would eat human if it looked like this...

Dr. Lecter has Abigail, Freddie and Will over for dinner. Afterwards Abigail asks Hannibal if Will knows, he admits that he does but their secret is safe. Abigail tells Hannibal that she did in fact help her dad meet and find out where the girls’ lived so that he could kill them professing that it was her or them. Hannibal is revived and wondered when she would tell him. The closing scene shows Abigail and her dad on a train and her "meeting" one of the girls while her dad sits back and smiles As a proud papa would albeit he is a serial killer.

The Analysis 

Other than the fact that I had to watch family guy for an hour after I watch Hannibal in order to not give myself nightmare and to let the funny “try” and take the SICK out we just witnessed I love every minute of it. I do not know much about Brian Fuller (the shows writer) but I would not like to ever have to interview him nor pick his brain and I mean that in most respectful way because this show pushes you to the limit and you end up wanting more.

It does seem like the bond between Hannibal Will and Abigail isn’t going anywhere. Now the question of how far will they go with her or what influence will she have on them? Every time I think I know the general direction of where this show is going it throws me completely off. At first I wondered how long was this obsession with Hobbs’ daughter would last. Now I have myself routing for the newly found “The Avengers” of crazy serial killers. Marvel can sue me, this blog makes no money.  

The Making of FUBU — An Interview with Daymond John

For those that have just joined us this is a lifestle blog, yes we talk about relationships sex and all that goes with that but it's about lifestyle so you'll never know what you'll find. One thing I've always loved is influential people getting paper and sharing their story. Each one teach one, so if you don't know who Daymond John is he is the founder of FUBU and also can be seen on ABC's Shark Tank every friday. This interview comes from http://www.fourhourworkweek.com

The following is an interview with Daymond John, CEO of the clothing brand FUBU, whom I’ve come to know and respect. If there were one mantra I’d associate with him, it’s “where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
Can’t afford billboards? No problem — just pay retail store owners in key areas to let you spraypaint “FUBU” on their overnight roll-down security walls. His drive and improvisation has led him from sewing cloth in his kitchen to #15 on Details magazine’s list of “50 Most Influential Men.”
It would seem he’s just getting started, but I’ll let him tell the story…

TIM: Many entrepreneurs launch their companies in addition to working a full-time job. How did you manage your time when launching FUBU to get the company going? When did you decide to quit the day job and make this a full-time operation?In entrepreneurship, you decide to give up your day job at the point where either (A) the hobby/new business is at least making some form of ends meet, or (B) you feel that you need to dedicate yourself for a certain amount of time to it and give yourself the last hoorah.
What were your initial struggles with launching FUBU and how did you overcome them?
Like most entrepreneurs, the initial struggle was to go past the point of imagination and make it a point of conception, where I was actually putting together a product and producing it. Everyone has an idea, but it’s taking those first steps toward turning that idea into a reality that are always the toughest.
However, once you take those first steps you will be confronted with another obstacle, and I don’t think there’s just one tipping point for a company, but a string of them. For example, once I decided to put my idea on paper, I had to find a local screen printer. Then, I faced the challenge of increasing sales. Since I knew the stores wouldn’t buy it, I put my product in them on consignment. After I got to the level of making more goods on a consistent basis, I had to figure out how to create a sustainable structure for manufacturing the product, so I mortgaged my house, moved sewing machines into my home, and hired seamstresses.
It’s this string of obstacles that separate the people that truly want their company to succeed from everyone else, because so many questions hit you so fast. It’s just a matter of not letting these challenges keep you down and finding solutions no matter what. It can be overwhelming at times but just be prepared for it. The more forward-thinking you are and the better plan of attack you have to grow the company, the easier these questions will be to answer.
What were some of your first big marketing wins to promote FUBU?
The first big break was when we went down to Virginia and met up with Ralph McDaniels, who had a video show like MTV and VH1, and he fell in love with our product. At the time, Ralph was throwing a big weekend event for Teddy Riley, a producer and musician that really shaped Hip-Hop and R&B. He came back to New York and decided to put us on a local video channel for an interview about FUBU. We all knew the FUBU brand was closely associated with music, but this hit created some immediate buzz and showed us the way to market our product unlike any fashion company out there yet.
We then concentrated in getting our product into music videos. We would sit on video sets all day trying to get the artists to wear it. First it started with Brand Nubian in one of their videos, then Ol’ Dirty Bastard wore it in a Mariah Carey video, then Busta Rhymes wore it on one of his videos, and LL Cool J decided to wear FUBU on the “Hey Lover” video with Boyz II Men. Our product was front and center on the biggest and most influential personalities for our core consumers.
One of the most well-known hits we had with LL was during a Gap commercial. He was wearing a pair of Gap jeans and a Gap shirt, but he was somehow able to sport one of our hats during the commercial. Then during his thirty-second freestyle rap, he looks directly into the camera and says, “For Us, By Us, on the low.” No one at Gap nor any of their ad execs thought anything of it. It wasn’t until a month later that someone at the Gap found out, pulled the commercial, and fired a whole bunch of people after they had spent about $30 million running this campaign.

Wifey Vs. Wife

Wifey Vs. Wife

I don't know about you but I have always hated this term. I always hated it because of what it means and what it doesn't mean.

wife  (wf)
n. pl. wives (wvz)

A woman joined to another person in marriage; a female spouse.

that was from Websters dictionary...

Wifey

not mentioned on webster's dictionary however we have...

Wifey

A REAL Lady, Not your only but your favourite, different from them hood rat chicks. Sexy in everyway possible, when she smiles it's sexy, even when she's mad at you it's sexy.

This is from urban dictionary Wifey - urban dictionary and note there are actually misspellings in the meaning.

So now what's the difference and why do I hate the term Wifey?

It's stated above plain and simple what a wife is. A wife is a female joined by a legal union to a man under god. She is the person that is the glue that holds a family together. I also heard this quote last week and it sums it up perfect. "A wife will say what's needed to be said when her husband can't". Now that is not to say her husband is weak in any way, but it's to say that a wife KNOWS whats best for her man even when he doesn't.

How is that different from a Wifey. Well most women start out as little girls. Those little girls play games like "dress up" and "house" and sometimes even "doctor". Most little girl think about their wedding very early in life.

This is done because every little girl is naturally embedded to care, naturally built to be a mother, naturally embedded to one day fall in love. (To her knight in shinning armor)

No girl plays "fuck buddy" no girl plays "baby mama"

and no girl imagines her night in shinny armor having to move into her place. Now don't get me wrong a "wifey" can be everything listed as above. It's just that the term "wifey" is a term that gives a false sense of security to women because most wifeys never become wives.

For a "wifey" there is no ring. A promise ring is not a ring. A wedding ring is a ring. A promise ring is also a false sense of security. A promise ring is given to shut women up. The difference between a promise ring and a wedding ring is the significance.

Intentions cost nothing but mean everything. When a man buys a ring, the ring doesn't come with a tag that states what it it for. When the man presents said ring to said women he states what it is for. When he gives you a ring and says it's a promise ring it means nothing, when he gives you a ring and asks to spend the rest of your life with him, it means everything.

For a "wifey" there is not ring, there is no church.

There is no pastor, no reception, no stretch limo with the sign just married on the back. There are no wedding bells and daddy doesn't walk a wifey down the isle.

So when the subject or the actual presentation of a ring happens make sure your man buys you the right ring. As I stated before intentions don't coast a thing. When your man presents to you a ring make sure he presents to you last name his heart, soul and the opportunity to spend the rest of his life with you. The size of the ring nor the price of the ring makes a difference. The only difference are the obligations behind ring. Make sure when you get a ring be sure that you get his intentions and his heart as well.

The term wifey should not be acceptable to you. If your man can call you "wifey" he can call you his wife.

3 Simple rules for dating in 2013

As the new year comes upon us (and many single going into the new year) I have made 3 simple easy to follow rules when it comes to dating in 2013…

1. If he/she can not call he/she is not worth the time.

So many of us get caught up in daily life so much we forget the simple rules. Yes this is the information age and while everything from shopping to company meetings are conducted via text it doesn’t mean your love life should. Any potential suitor wherever male or female that wants your attention should at least have the balls enough to CALL and arrange a date. So rule number 1 is NO TEXT ALLOWED (for setting up dates).

2. Leave boyfriends/ girlfriends/ husbands /wives/ secret gay lovers in the past.

At some point in your new relationship or pre-relationship, you know those awkward dates where you haven’t established what exactly you two are, well sometime the conversation may shift to why you are single? or what happened to your EX will come up. A brief “we didn’t work out” or a simple “we found out we weren’t compatible” will suffice. Bottom line is leave the past in the past. Many relationships are ruined by you yourself comparing your ex. to your “next” and no matter how you slice it you don’t win. If your ex was a loser you “next” may come to think your broken and no one wants a broken person for the new year. If the reverse happens, meaning you tell all of these great stories about your ex your “next” will feel they can never stack up.

3. Establish what you are as soon as possible.

This one should be a no brainier ironically it’s not. Too many women think just because you see someone everyday or talk to them every-night that they are in a relationship. Well I have news for you, you’re not IN a relationship until you both can conform your IN a relationship. This one tip saves future couples a lot of time, also many men wonder this question as much as women do but are often to nervous to ask. Bringing this topic to discussion ASAP can eliminate a lot of misunderstandings  However if you are seeing someone that can’t talk about this. You should be seeing someone else. If the person you’re seeing can’t commit to a simple little title early. The chances are slim to none that they will commit to a BIG title later.

Squeezing breasts 'can stop cancer'

---

---

Scientists found that applying physical pressure to malignant breast cells guided them back to a normal growth pattern

A little squeeze may be all that it takes to prevent malignant breast cells triggering cancer, research has shown.

Laboratory experiments showed that applying physical pressure to the cells guided them back to a normal growth pattern.

Scientists do not envisage fighting breast cancer with a new range of compression bras, but they believe the research provides clues that could lead to new treatments.

"People have known for centuries that physical force can influence our bodies," said Gautham Venugopalan, a leading member of the research team at the University of California in Berkeley, United States.

"When we lift weights our muscles get bigger. The force of gravity is essential to keeping our bones strong. Here we show that physical force can play a role in the growth - and reversion - of cancer cells."

The study involved growing malignant breast epithelial cells within a gel injected into flexible silicone chambers. This allowed the scientists to apply compression during the first stages of cell growth, effectively squashing the cells.

Over time, the squeezed malignant cells began to grow in a more normal and organised way.

Once the breast tissue structure was formed the cells stopped growing, even when the compressive force was removed. Non-compressed cells continued to display the haphazard and uncontrolled growth that leads to cancer.

"Malignant cells have not completely forgotten how to be healthy; they just need the right cues to guide them back to a healthy growth pattern," said Mr Venugopalan, a doctoral student.

The results were presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology in San Francisco.
