The Queerty Interview

What’s a Straight Black Girl Like Nyasha Doing in a Gay White Show Like The A-List? She Tells Us!

Logo’s The A-List may be a gay men’s lions’ den, but Nyasha Zumicha is not easily intimidated. The former beauty queen from Africa pulls a Heather Locklear and comes onboard on Season 2, premiering tonight.

How will the straight self-proclaimed diva spice up the boys’ club? Queerty editor Oscar Raymundo spoke with Nyasha about why she decided to join the guilty-pleasure-of-a-show and which of the gay housewives she thinks has the biggest balls.

Are you straight, lesbian, bi or trans?
Straight and lovin’ it!

So what’s a straight girl like you doing on a gay show like The A-List?
I think that question is very ’90s. It’s not illegal for gay people and straight people to hang out. It’s weird that people would be shocked to see a black girl hanging out with a bunch of gay guys. We know how gay men love their divas.

Well, the show’s producers did go out of their way to just cast gay men originally, so maybe the concept is what’s really ’90s.

You’re right though, we do love our divas. You don’t seem to think of that label as negative.
Not at all. Diva is not a bad word. To me, diva is powerful and strong and makes a positive splash.

Reality TV, especially this show, doesn’t always portray people in a positive light. Did you have any concerns before coming on board?
There’s always an element of surprise. It’s the price to pay to get to impact 2 million people a week with your brand. I can’t control how people are going to react. There’s also the element of editing. True Entertainment, the production company behind the show, is very successful. They know what they’re doing. The client, Logo, is a great network. I liked the tone they were after when I met with them and they seemed to get me. Obviously you’re not going to see 360 degrees of Nyasha in 10 episodes, but that’s not the point of the show.

What is the point?
To show the different dynamics. I’m sure I’ll be upset when I watch some of it. But that’s what comes with a project like this.

How did you get involved in the show? Did you know any of the guys before?
No, actually I did not know any of the guys. I was working on another TV project when I was approached by the casting director.

You said in a previous interview that the show is so real that even straight women can relate. How so?
By seeing me. How I address certain situations as a woman.

You think that the producers brought you on to broaden the audience and reach out to female and minority viewers?
I’m not ruling it out, but I don’t think it was a defining factor. They saw something in me. And it’s a great way to show America how normal the show is. I cry, I get bloated, I get my period, I call my mom every day. I think people will be surprised to see how genuine these relationships are. It’s not just stereotypes. I don’t snap my fingers every time I finish an argument.

You did snap a little in that teaser scene when you met the guys. One of them asked you if you did white women’s hair…
That was Austin. Austin is an uneducated human being. Uneducated about hair.

Did it come off as a racist remark?
No, it didn’t. I think Austin is just insecure and felt threatened. He was trying to make fun of people who did hair. That’s why I mentioned Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. I wasn’t trying to brag or anything. I was trying to explain to him what I did.

How did the rest of the guys react to you coming on board?
I think at first they felt I was encroaching on their territory and not really sure what I was doing there. Maybe felt intimidated. But I didn’t go in there trying to compete. I don’t have to. It takes someone like Ryan to understand that. Now, I have built great relationships with some of the guys, and I’m even surprised at how personal they’ve become.

The show has gotten criticized for highlighting the worst characteristics of the gay community. Do you think it might also highlight the worst characteristics of the black community now as well?
No. Whatever I show, that’s who I am. Some people feel the pressure when the cameras are turned on them to need to be this character, confrontational or just a hot mess. I don’t.

Are you referring specifically to some of your cast mates?

Recently we got an exclusive offer to buy a 20-min video of Reichen jerking off for $6,000. As a businesswoman, what do you think a video like that is actually worth?
I can’t comment on anyone else’s business.

The A: List New York premieres Monday, July 25, at 10pm on Logo.

      I’m not sure why people get so upset about the way the gays are portrayed on this show. This is reality TV. It almost invariably casts people + shows them at their absolute worst. Specifically shows like this, modeled after the Real Housewives franchise. which we all know is just guilty-pleasure-hot-mess TV full of outsized, love-to-hate personalities. In fact, I’m sure that’s precisely why people like shows like this, because of the snarky/catty/messy drama of it all. You don’t tune into Real Housewives to see shining examples of lady-dom, so I don’t get why we depend on A-List NY to make the gay community look infallible.

      She’s a fucknut like the rest of these people. She was shown out of control as hell. Now they have just thrown another stereotype in the mix. Another exaggeration of the worst of people. I know plenty of “Divas” that don’t act like this. She stuck that nose where it didn’t belong. I would’ve left when all that went down but oh no! She had to get in the middle of that crap and bitch and whine when she got in the line of fire.

      Derek probably lost his career/job. I think his workplace had enough of that posturing and bitchiness. Now he is on a ground floor apartment? Nothing wrong with that but you know how “fab” he is..

      TJ rattles off having to work for once and he feels like the help vs. a friend to Ryan. It’s called a job honey. I’m glad to see that trash get a dose of humble pie. I see Reichen got what he had coming to him. God, what a thin lipped man whore. I guess he’ll have to keep on with the webcam. Why would any man have his sorry ass. Yeah for Rodiney.

      This season will have x10 the drama it had last season. Other than the gossiping I don’t see this much crap in real time. I would’ve like to have seen a black guy in the mix. Why was that too hard?

      I just finished watching this awful racist show. Austin did hi this woman and he made a racist remark about her wearing white people’s hair. None of these white queens are A Listers and were born in New York City. These sissy acting men are an embarrassment to masucline gay men. All gay men don’t act like women and call themselves girls. I like men and enjoy having sex with them. However, I still consider myself a man, not a girl. I do have a problem with them having this black woman. She’s another angry black woman, like the character Tara on HBO’s ‘True Blood’.

      Nyasha Zumicha is one of the biggest b!tches I’ve ever had the misfortune of seeing on television. If LOGO is going to keep the snotty, self-absorbed tramp on for any length of time, expect viewers to start changing the channel (I know I am). Add to that, the two-faced sniveling antics of Derrick Saathoff (well, “nausia” and Derrick ARE made for one another, that’s all I can say). Ryan isn’t “too bad” (though he’s no freaking saint); T.J., one can take him or leave him… I’m rather inclined to say that the only character on the show that “appears” to have any sense of decency would be Mike Ruiz. Everyone else? Your typical, jaded f%g who’s trying to be at the center of attention. As a gay man, I’m rather embarrassed to be represented by this sorry lot. (And sadly, if this is any indication of what LOGO looks for in shows like these, there’s little hope that The A-List: Dallas will be any better.

      (As of yesterday, I’ve removed LOGO from the lineup of channels I pay for. Scr#w ’em if they can’t do any better a job at representing the LGBTQ community than this!!)

      What a fake Nyasha is. Why no mention of her illustrious career as the toddler pagent judge? I see her gay friend, the former emcee made an appearance this week for her big “hair show”. Did you count the paps lining the street? How about all the crowd inside the club waiting for the fab hair piece show. What a joke. She does walk off when anyone says anything that isn’t what she wants to hear and I hope that she soon gets put in her place. Her hair looks as fake as she is. I love Rodiney this season – he has such a little mischievous look as he speaks. I tend to believe he doesn’t want to sleep with her because she is black not just a wig-wearer but I could be wrong.

      Is Mike Ruiz’s boyfriend the spokesman for the computer virus commercial that runs during the show? Sure looks like him. Also, what’s with the Fleet Enema “backdoor” cleaner ad that is playing during the show?

      Nyasha. An African woman whose hair I’m sure is as nappy as my own. She owns a company called “Embrace Your Hair.” Does it sell products designed for the nourishment and care of natural hair of African descent? No…it sells wigs of textures EXCEPT African, so that you can cover up – not embrace – your own hair. And I thought a woman who is known as much for her weaves as her voice being a spokesmodel for hair color took the cake! No pun intended, I just can’t wrap my head around it. Maybe she should rename her company “D’Illusion.”

      On a show that is for me a guilty pleasure full of familiar but avoidable potholes, Nyasha is an annoying speed bump.

      I concur with Susan’s comments on Nyasha 110%. I can’t stand her either. This woman, if you want to call her that, is a nasty, evil,ignorant human being. For someone who’s just ‘keeping it real’, which, by the way is annoying every time she says that, is a total fake bitch. LOGO, please get rid of Miss Thang!

      Mike Ruiz is the only cast member I like and respect. I had the pleasure of meeting him this summer in Texas and he’s just as nice and welcoming in person as he is on the show. Same goes for his partner. Now, talk about someone who keeps it real….true class act. Unlike Nyasha, who could take a few class act lesson’s from Mike. She’s young and will live and learn the hard way. But, I won’t hold my breath.

      All the other train wrecks I can take or leave. These queens are somewhat of a guilty pleasure and remind me how NOT to act. I have to admit though, that I love Rodiney this season. His adorable personality and bi-sexual orientation have really come out and he’s holding his own with Miss Thang and all the other train wrecks (Mike Ruiz excluded).

      I am a straight women who enjoys watching the show, that is, until Nyasha joined the cast. I wonder why she is no longer a “judge” in the children’s pageant show anymore. She runs a wig company and her launch party consisted of 4 photographers, approximately 50 people, 4 different wigs and her old co-star for an MC. It must be nice to walk around completely delusional about her status and not be embarrased by the way she presents herself. She is rude, confrontational, mean-spirited and fake. Also,if she is 25 years old than I am Miss America and I can assure you I am not. I am so happy to know I am not the only one who wants her removed from the show. Please please take her off the show and let me go back to enjoying this guilty pleasure!

      nyasha was a judge for toddlers and tiaras she is the farthest thing from a diva she and her management staff begged logo to be a part of a list new York, and everybody know black hair is notoriously hard to work with it’s not something racist to say when it’s a fact. watch GOOD HAIR a documentary about black hair and the bullshit they have to go threw. nyasha wears extensions she gets her face rubbed by lasers and sonic scrubbers she wears fake contacts that change her eye color fake eyelashes she injects her lips and her skull looks flat in the front. all of this doesn’t matter but she is a just the most fake person i have seen but then again i have not seen the little white girl playing dress up and ”diva” on a list dallas ( which looks horrible btw )

      I agree that straight women can relate, but I don’t agree that it’s because of Nyasha. There is one scene where Reichen needs to talk, so he invited Nyasha, and she just got huffy and walked out. I thought that was just plain rude and not how a mature woman would have handled it. I may not always agree with my friends, but I will always listen. Nyasha just cut him off. Personally, I don’t think she adds anything to the show. If the show hired her to instigate, then kudos to them cuz that is what she’s doing.

      I feel that you all forgot this is a reality show. It’s not about being racist, it’s about creating drama. It’s sad how people make personal attacks on a woman who made such a big name for herself. Stop complaining about logo stereotyping itself as the comments in this feed are just reconfirming that American gays are bitter and bitchy.

      To Logo: Please get that hideous Neosha off of the show. It was unwatchable when the scenes with her came on and we won’t be wasting time watching it next season if she returns. Adding her to the cast made no sense to anyone and really ruined season 2.

      I think she there to point at the stone thrower fags that leave there Midwest prejudice town and more to an open minded city. I’m a Kenyan American who grew of in the silicon valley. I was raise by diversity that how my parents were able to meet. I’m openly gay that use to love Castro (which shortly will become Folsom). People that travel don’t need a gay section of Midwest people just love. You mix white people need to love being Yourselves. so i don’t have to explain your ignorance to people of your ancestry.

      Everyone is getting on Nyasha but I’m just amazed at the anger she’s stroking. She’s a 26 year old kid who lived through a civil war and now has come up and made SOME name for herself so she is self centered and overly critical. That’s totally due to her insecurities, hoping she is as good as others. In time, making the sort of money she is making will come off normal and she will not feel such a need to brag, but until then it’s normal for someone her age who experienced what she’s experienced to act like this. And just to be clear, Austin is a kid too and he’s obviously defensive and needs time to mature also. But I don’t see the outrage over how HE acts in these responses. I think he got the raw deal this year but he’s not without blame and Nyasha and him both need time to grow up. But I’m happy with the show’s dynamic and am okay with them having a female on the show. Everyone is so upset with it. Get over it. Every group of gays I know have a hag anyway so it’s not that unique.

My Bio

I am retired from corporate life and prefer to wear t-shirt, jeans/shorts and my Birks.  Mixed media is a new interest of mine but I still love traditional applique and piecing.  I have far more projects in the queue than I have life to live.  Quilting magazines take up much of my space because I just can't throw anything away.  But, you know what?  I'm quite happy with it all.

Life is good when I'm surrounded by colorful fabrics and notions.

There’s Something Wrong With Chess Event

Aug ’09
7:00 pm

A Dual Release Party For THE2NDHAND broadsheet no. 32,

featuring a short story by Patrick Somerville

& Greg Gerke’s There’s Something Wrong With Sven

Patrick Somerville is the Chicago-based author of a novel, “The Cradle,” out this year, and the “Trouble” collection of shorts. His “A Game I Once Enjoyed,” a short about a chance chess match between two neighbors during the biggest snowstorm of the year, is the featured piece in THE2NDHAND’s 32nd broadsheet, released here. Somerville has been widely reviewed and praised. “The Cradle” even showed up earlier this year in the staid New York Times Book Review, yet he remains true to the roots of his work’s genesis as a mainstay of Chicago’s indie-lit scene. To read selections from his work, interrogate some of the reviews out there, and get in touch, visit his website,

THE2NDHAND contributor Greg Gerke lives and writes in Buffalo, N.Y., where he penned the flash-fiction collection “There’s Something Wrong With Sven” — out this year from BlazeVox Books. His work in fiction has appeared variously in several mags, including Rosebud, Fourteen Hills, Pedestal Magazine, Pindeldyboz, and THE2NDHAND. Writing in the Buffalo News, journalist and book critic R.D. Pohl described the new collection as “a picaresque gambol through many of the leading tropes of contemporary American storytelling from the manic to the gothic, absurdist romance to mock epic parody, Rashomon-effect reverie to tavern patron’s tall tale.” This versatile writer brings his bombast to Chicago in a stop on a multicity tour in support of the book. Visit for more.

Spencer Dew, based in Chicago, authored the 2008 “Songs of Insurgency” collection, out from Vagabond Press, and his shorts have appeared in great frequency in some of America’s best online and print lit mags, included, meagerly, THE2NDHAND. Amy Woods Butler (also, incidentally, more recently a contributor to THE2NDHAND) last said the stories in Dew’s collection “pound through the apathy and delusions of our post-9/11 world with the force of a jackhammer.” His delivery, too, honed through regular readings in Chicago and around the country, is unparalleled in its energy. Visit for links to pieces of his prolific online lit presence. (Dew authored THE2NDHAND’S 30th, Winter 2008-09 broadsheet, “Gives Birth to Monsters.”)

C.T. Ballentine, THE2NDHAND’s Chicago editor, will host. Ballentine’s the creator of several one-off and short-run zine projects, including an audio zine (“Radio Plays”) and the occasional “Aftercrossword Special” for his own work. Prior to joining THE2NDHAND as an editor, the mag published his serialized novella “Friedrich Nietzsche Waits for a Date.” Visit for the first installment.

Men’s Basketball Cracks Top 25 College Insider Mid-Major Poll

HAMDEN, Conn. – Quinnipiac's seven-game winning streak hasn't gone unnoticed around mid-major college basketball. In the most recent poll, the Bobcats claimed the 25th slot in the College Insider Mid-Major Poll, which was released on Monday, Feb. 24, 2014.

Quinnipiac improved to 19-8 overall and 14-4 in the MAAC with its latest weekend sweep of Canisius and Niagara. Winners in eight of their last nine games, the Bobcats currently sit in second place in the league standings with just two regular season games left to play.

The lone undefeated team in the nation, Wichita State (29-0), retained its top ranking in the poll. Stephen F. Austin (25-2) is right behind the Shockers, while Gonzaga (23-6), North Dakota State (21-6) and Harvard (22-4) round out the top five spots in the census.

Joining Quinnipiac in the poll from the MAAC are Iona (19-8) and Manhattan (20-7). Canisius received votes.

Quinnipiac returns home for its final game at the TD Bank Sports Center this year. The Bobcats welcome Siena College to Hamden on Thursday, Feb. 27 for an 8:30 p.m. tip-off at the Bank. The game will be televised live on ESPN3, courtesy of the MAAC.

Une Saison Dans La Vie D'Emmanuel

Une Saison dans la vie d'Emmanuel (1965), by Marie-Claire BLAIS, is a darkly lyrical vision of Québec, an act of revolt distinguished by its black humour. Employing multiple viewpoints and blurring reality with nightmare, Blais narrates events surrounding the winter birth of Emmanuel, sixteenth child of a peasant family. The perspective of his indomitable grandmother Antoinette frames the novel, itself dominated by the autobiographical manuscripts of Emmanuel's brother Jean Le Maigre, an adolescent friar and tubercular genius. The lives and deaths of Emmanuel's siblings, like the themes of incest and corrupt monastic life, constitute an allegory of insularity and ignorance as well as a literal response to cold and hunger. Acclaimed by American critic Edmund Wilson in his preface to Derek Coltman's translation, A Season in the Life of Emmanuel (1966), the novel won numerous prizes at home and abroad, and has been translated into a dozen languages.

Teens Love Old Men

Full Review

A.K. Anderson

By: A.K. Anderson
Number of Reviews: 1373
Average Score: 65

This site is now called Mature.

What guy doesn't love a hot 18 or 19-year-old gal? As we all get older, those chicks become less and less attainable, or at least that is how it seemed until now. Because according to Teens Love Old Men, there are a lot of hot teens out there looking for a more mature dick to play with. This is a "good news, bad news" type of site and I will, of course, give you both.

Good news: The are 186 episodes on TeensLoveOldMen. For the most part the scenes stay very true to the theme of younger babes with older men. We ain't talking about guys in their 30s either. Most of the men I saw were at least 40 and many were near retirement age.

Bad news: The scenes themselves aren't always that exciting. I randomly checked out a bunch and while some were pretty hot and well done, others were poorly filmed, poorly performed and had me skipping through to find a good part. In two of the episodes I watched, the guy couldn't get hard and so they just faked it. How do I know they were faking? Well, for some reason the camera moved into a position where I could see the guy's limp dick hanging down as he pretended to thrust and the girl made moaning sounds.

Good news: All of the scenes come with a set of pictures and a lot of them are high-res. The videos are split up into clips as well as having a full-length option. Most videos are offered in HD and come in streaming and downloadable Windows Media files. There are also MP4s for your mobiles. However, sometimes there's no streaming choice and only a standard-definition download.

Bad news: The membership fee is higher than any site I have ever reviewed and there hasn't been an update in three months. There also isn't an advanced search, sorting options or any content tags to help you find something specific.

Your expensive membership does get you full access to 23 sites that make up the Mature Mega Pass network, including I Love Mature, Bizarre Mature Sex and Bizarre Mature Dildo. Most of the bonus sites are focused on older women, but a couple focus on teens. The bottom line is that Teens Love Old Men is just too expensive for what you get.

Grosjean crowned 2012 Champion of Champions

16/12/2012 15:52:00

News Image
  • France's Romain Grosjean lifts the Race Of Champions trophy after a Grand Final victory over Le Mans legend Tom Kristensen
  • Grand prix veterans Michael Schumacher and David Coulthard make it as far as the semi-finals
  • 2012 F1 world champion Sebastian Vettel knocked out in the quarter-finals for the second year in a row

French Formula 1 star Romain Grosjean put in a stunning performance to eclipse 15 fellow superstars of motorsport and win the Race Of Champions on an evening of thrills at Bangkok's Rajamangala Stadium.

Following Team Germany's victory over Team France in last night's ROC Nations Cup, the Race Of Champions pitted many of the biggest names in motorsport against each other in head-to-head combat in a variety of different cars.

In the end Grosjean overcame Le Mans legend Tom Kristensen in the best-of-three Grand Final to become Champion of Champions for the first time. Kristensen, who also reached the final last year, was chasing his own first individual Race Of Champions title at the 12th attempt. But he was thwarted by the young Frenchman, who won both heats to seal glory.

Grosjean said: “That’s what I’d call a crazy day! It got a bit tough in the group stages but I managed to make it through. Then I had to face Sebastian Vettel in the quarter-final before Michael Schumacher in the semi-final – the two Germans who beat us in yesterday’s ROC Nations Cup final. Then I had the final with Tom. We’ve had a good history at this event and I’ve raced him before so it was good to face him in the final. I got a bit of extra luck to be in the right car at the right time but it felt good.

"It’s been a tough end to the F1 season but I finally got back on the podium yesterday, and now this! It’s great to get this win before I head off for a holiday. Thanks to everyone in Thailand because the welcome has been fantastic.”

Beaten finalist Kristensen has competed in 12 Race Of Champions events, more than anyone else in the field. The 45-year-old Dane nonetheless hopes to be back for more.

“This was the 25th year of the race and Romain is a deserving winner," said Kristensen. "He had a very good Sunday – and I’m getting closer every year! It was a small gap between us in each of the heats and I made small mistakes but that’s the challenge of the Race Of Champions: to jump into different cars. Earlier I had a pretty fun run in the Audi against Ogier. I believe that was the fastest lap of the weekend so that’s what I’ll take away. Even though I’m a bit more than 25 years old like Romain, it shows I’m still pretty fast if I’m in a good car. This has been the warmest Race Of Champions I have competed in – both literally and thanks to the people who welcomed us and enjoyed having us here. I’m still young so maybe one day I’ll get the chance to win it!”

Michael Schumacher seemed to be continuing where he left off last night as he went undefeated until the semi-final stage. There he came up against an inspired Grosjean and his quest for the individual ROC title faltered again. Schumacher's fellow F1 old-timer David Coulthard was beaten by Kristensen in the other semi-final.

After sharing in Schumacher's success last night, 2012 F1 world champion Sebastian Vettel was eliminated in the individual quarter-finals for the second year in a row, also by Grosjean. Facing a tight battle, Vettel made a mistake and hit the barrier hard.

Another big scalp at the quarter-final stage was last year's Champion of Champions Sébastien Ogier, beaten by Kristensen in a reverse of the result of last year's Grand Final. Coulthard defeated China's Ho-Pin Tung while Schumacher overcame 500cc MotoGP legend Mick Doohan in the other quarter-finals.

To start the evening the drivers were split into four groups of four, battling for the right to line up in the knockout stages.

Reigning champion Ogier began in dominant fashion, taking three wins out of three in Group A. Coulthard also progressed thanks to his two wins against V8 Supercar king Jamie Whincup and Production World Rally Champion Benito Guerra. Whincup beat Guerra but neither driver made it any further.

Tung was the surprise package of Group B. After falling to an initial defeat against touring car great Andy Priaulx, the Chinese driver recovered to top the group, beating Kristensen and home favourite Nattavude Charoensukawattana. The Thai prompted one of the night's biggest cheers when he defeated Priaulx, meaning the last quarter-final berth was decided by a shootout between Kristensen and Priaulx. That went to the Dane after Priaulx went off into the barriers.

Vettel made a predictably strong start, romping to three wins out of three including a victory over 2012 MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo. Group C also included another legend of two wheels in Doohan, who defeated Lorenzo in their heat. The Thai crowd went wild as Tin Sritrai beat Lorenzo and crossed the line ahead of Doohan, only to miss out on qualification due to a time penalty.

Schumacher and Grosjean both progressed comfortably from Group D – but it was the German who came out on top this time to keep his undefeated record intact with three wins to Grosjean's two. 2012 IndyCar Series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay took a single victory against Kazuya Ohshima, Japan's qualifier from ROC Asia, but it wasn't enough to keep the American in the competition.

Grosjean's triumph marks the end of the 2012 Race Of Champions. We hope you've enjoyed it and we look forward to seeing you next year for ROC 2013.

World AIDS Day 2013: Caritas Continues the Journey in Faith and Service

(Vatican Radio) Caritas Internationalis President Cardinal Oscar Andrés Rodríguez Maradiaga says the international organization of Catholic aid and development agencies continues its journey in faith and service to those suffering from HIV AIDS.

In a message ahead of World AIDS Day observed on Sunday December 1, Cardinal Maradiaga says Caritas Internationalis “does not wait for the annual observance of World AIDS Day to fulfill its mandate of service with and for those living with and affected by the epidemic of HIV and AIDS. For more than twenty-five years, we have expressed the Church’s ‘tenderness and closeness’ to them. Through our direct action in some 116 countries of the world, we have served as the ‘institutional witnesses of the Church's love ‘ to such persons burdened by this threatening virus. HIV causes uncertainty and insecurity both for their own future, and that of their families, and could result in serious illness and death.”

“For the past several years, on this particular day of the year,” the Cardinal notes, “the international community has been encouraged to reflect on the theme ‘Getting to zero: Zero new HIV infections. Zero discrimination. Zero AIDS-related deaths’ on the occasion of World AIDS Day. The goal of Zero new HIV infections can be attained through responsible interpersonal relationships and individual behavior, including the limitation of sexual activity to a permanent and mutually faithful marriage between one man and one woman and the avoidance of all injecting drug use that has not been prescribed and supervised by health care professionals.”

“The goal of Zero AIDS-related deaths,” he continues, “can be attained by early diagnosis and treatment of HIV infection, for which Caritas has advocated through its ‘HAART for Children Campaign’. In recent years, much progress has been made, through international solidarity, to expand such treatment to some 10 million of people living in low- and middle-income countries. But this is not enough – an additional 18 million are in need of such life-saving medications. At the most recent meeting of the Catholic HIV and AIDS Network, for which Caritas serves as Secretariat, members reported some disturbing developments; some international donors have begun to decrease their support of such treatment programmes, citing new priorities, ‘donor fatigue’, the need for national governments in the high burden countries to assume more responsibility, and the global economic crisis. Let us never forget that, in today’s world, the human family is ‘growing ever closer, more interdependent, more in need of opportunities to meet and to create real spaces of authentic fraternity.’

Cardinal Maradiaga laments the fact that “regrettably, people living with or affected by HIV continue to face discrimination, stigma, and even violence.” “Caritas works toward acceptance and accompaniment of all people living with HIV,” he stresses. “Let us pray, on this World AIDS Day 2013, that our Caritas patron, St. Martin de Porres, who spent his life in service of the most rejected and marginalized people in Latin America, will strengthen our own efforts in promoting a world without new infections of HIV, without deaths related to this disease, and without discrimination, since ‘[t]here is no human life that is more sacred than another, as there is no human life that is qualitatively more significant than another.’”

Regional planning board endorses Purple Line LRT

Written by

Maryland’s proposed $1.68 billion, 16-mile light rail transit Purple Line has been endorsed unanimously by the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board, bolstering the line’s advance ahead of two area highway projects also under consideration. The line would connect New Carrollton with Bethesda, serving as both a suburban connector and a circumferential feeder to Washington, D.C.’s Metro subway system.

The board also approved adding rail right-of-way west of Bethesda to Silver Spring, Md., to the long-range plan for the line, which would add $480 million to the project but which is anticipated to bolster chances for federal funding support.

Officials in Maryland's Prince George’s and Montgomery counties already have approved the plan, which is expected to carry 62,500 riders per weekday. The line would include four transfer points with the Metro system, as well as transfer points for MARC and Amtrak rail services.

The project has yet to be officially approved as light rail by the state. The governor’s office is expected to weigh in later this summer. Besides LRT, a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) option had been considered. The project also has faced environmental opposition in Montgomery County.

Transit market buoys Wabtec fourth-quarter profit

Written by

Crediting strength in its transit and transportation markets, Wilmerding, Pa.-based Wabtec Corp. Wednesday said it posted fourth-quarter net income of $31.1 million, or 64 cents per share, on sales of $405.2 million. That compares with net income of $28.7 million, or 58 cents per share, on sales of $365.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, or a 9% jump in fourth-quarter profit. Per-share results were short of analyst expectations of 65 cents per share on revenue of $391 million.

Wabtec’s net income for the year was $130.6 million, or $2.67 per share, up 19% from $109.6 million, or $2.23 per share, a year earlier, while revenue rose to $1.57 billion from $1.36 billion a year ago. Per-share earnings nearly equaled analyst expectations of $2.68.

Wabtec also affirmed its earnings guidance of $2.45 to $2.75 per share in 2009.

"We finished 2008 on a positive note due partly to continued strength in our transit markets even as demand softened dramatically in certain segments of the global freight rail market," said Albert J. Neupaver, president and chief executive, in a statement. "With uncertain economic conditions continuing around the world, we do not expect demand to improve in the short term and are taking appropriate actions to reduce our costs," he said.

Wabtec noted it completed its $300 million acquisition of Standard Car Truck during the fourth quarter.

Is It Okay To Tell Your Son That Santa’s A Lie?

FROM HIM:  I know they’ll be some of you that think I might actually be the Grinch and I have come to steal Christmas from Edgar and I fully respect your opinion.

But I’m going to tell him that Santa is a lie from the off.

I find this lying in mass malarkey a very strange thing.

Just because everyone else is doing it doesn’t mean it’s right.

If I took another lie, completely at random, and chose to replace the Christmas lie with that one, let’s say – that moles are all knowing creatures that come up through the earth and bite your toes off if you’re naughty – and dedicated as much time to the cause as the average family does to the Santa lie, then you’d be calling the NSPCC.

I could take piles of earth and leave them around the house, saying:

“Ooh look, the moles have heard about you not eating your vegetables and they’re looking for you.”

Perhaps I could leave some droppings in his bed…

“Lucky you weren’t in bed at the time or you’d have no toes! They’ve obviously found out about when you had a crying fit because you couldn’t go outside in just your socks.”

I want Edgar to be able to trust everything I say. I don’t want to immediately set up the foundation for the belief that everything I say is to be investigated to find out if it’s true; that it might be a little trick so he gets humiliated at school in front of his friends, or even worse, his enemies.

Plus, kids love to pretend, as much as they love reality, possibly even more. Reality is ever such a boring thing when you’re a kid.

“We landed on the moon.”

“Whatevs… Do you want some of this cake I baked?”

Child offers you a hand with nothing in it.

“Nom nom nom” you say whilst stuffing your face with the magical calorie free cake.

Child is over the moon (puntendo*) and wants to find another gullible adult to play the same trick on.

*An amalgamation of pun and intended so that it rhymes with Nintendo. This will definitely catch on.

So we’re still going to have Christmas and celebrate in a big way (see resurrect the Tesco Christmas tree in the loft and have a large amount of booze in the house). It’s just going to be about pretending. And I’m going to bet that Edgar enjoys it just as much, if not more.

Obviously initially I will have shot myself in the foot (or Edgar in the foot, but I don’t like to think about that, even metaphorically) because he will be the odd one out for not believing. But kids get much more cruel as they get older, so by the time everyone has found out about the lie, Edgar will be revered as some sort of Nostradamus style messiah.

“What else isn’t really true oh wise one?” they will ask him.

“Well,” he’ll say, “I’m glad you asked. People who don’t give me their chocolate from their lunches will go to hell.”

Edgar! Don’t bring shame to the family. The family shame cupboard is full.

“Hell doesn’t even exist,” says one kid.

“Then where’s your mum at?” says Edgar.

Oh please please Edgar – don’t turn out to be a bully!

I already worry about that because he has strong hands, but that’s another post entirely.

    We need to discuss this one together. Man to man. Dad to dad. Idealist to idealist. Pragmatist to pragmatist.

    I need to broach the topic of experience without appearing patronising. I also need to reconcile in my own mind whether my position on this matter now, is acceptable.

    • raisingedgar says:

      We will make this happen. The sloe gin should be ready by then, perfect for such an occasion.

  2. Hazel says:

    I said exactly this. I’m not going to lie to my small, pure, uncorrupted child. I will be upfront and we will have a relationship based on trust. Ha! I buckled pretty much immediately, although my answer to ‘does Father Christmas exist’ has always been ‘ well, what do you think?’ I have encouraged stocking hanging, leaving of mince pies and beverage and yes, even scattering of reindeer dust on the front lawn. I know. How did it come to this. Hard to explain. I have resisted using the big FC as some kind of stick and carrot system of child control but that is my one and only saving grace. We do Easter bunny and tooth fairy too. My children’s lives are positively heaving with mythical creatures. Hanging head in shame. Good luck with sticking to your plan! Nice blog by the way.

    • raisingedgar says:

      Thanks Hazel. We may well fail too, but if we manage to stick to it I’ll let you know how it goes.

  3. Lucy J says:

    You sound like a bit of a sad bloke.

    Glad you’re not my dad or husband.

  4. Muma Leary says:

    Dudes- you’re only blog of the week. That’s amazing!!
    A very funny post. But I will not be following suit…yet.
    Btw- can’t believe you have those moles too. Madness.

    • raisingedgar says:

      Mahoosive delay in responding Tanya. Sorry! We’ve all been lurgy-laden, like the evolutionarily inferior creatures we are. Proper red cross on the front door stuff. Have a truly splendid Christmas x

  5. Becky says:

    I’ve written and deleted this comment a couple of times, because I don’t want to sound like I’m shouting YOU’RE WRONG when clearly it is a totally personal thing, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with your choice about this. I admire the sentiment in fact. Fair fucks to you, I say!

    But since it says ‘leave a comment’ up there, I’m gonna leave a comment.

    Personally, I love the Santa Magic, little wonder-filled faces, leaving out a mince pie and all that jazz. There’s nothing more enchanting to me than a small child’s wonder at christmas (Am total sap! Am gonna cry my eyes out at Leila’s nativity play! Send help!) , and Santa is part of that. For me, discovering the truth (in my case, when my drunk uncle farted as he was putting my stocking at the end of my bed) is more of a gentle rite of passage that makes you feel grown up, than a shattering of trust in everything your parents say.

    But hey- different strokes.

    • raisingedgar says:

      If he doesn’t see any magic in Christmas then maybe we’ll have made the wrong decision, but we’ll still leave out mince pies and a carrot for the reindeer etc. He’ll just be aware it’s pretend. I will still cry at his nativity play; I would probably cry at Leila’s nativity play. It’s not that I think this one thing will cause him to not trust anything else I say, it’s for a greater cause, which is for him to be able to believe that I never lie. Ever. And for that, sadly, I’ll have to sacrifice a little Santa magic.

      • Becky says:

        Argh, Edgar in a shepherd’s outfit- I’m crying simply at the thought!

        I like the idea of doing the traditions but telling the truth behind it. That seems like a good magic/not lying combo :)

  6. Kate says:

    You’ll be telling him peppa pig isn’t real next…or Jesus.. Ye gods x

    • raisingedgar says:

      Kate, we’ll be selecting lies completely at random, so you’ll just have to hope Peppa Pig comes up. If she does, all of our holidays will be at Peppa Pig world (a real thing I’m flabbergasted to have just discovered).

  7. Snagwin says:

    fantastically refreshing to come across another parent who can’t be faffed with the santa lie. I myself haven’t promoted his existence

    I have taught my daughter to always be wary of strangers (as most parents do) so why do we then encourage the notion of some billious sherry soaked weirdo sneaking into their bedroom at night?!

    (I didn’t however consider that my daughter would hold court on the subject and cause outrage amongst her social circle when she announced

    a) Santa does not exist, neither do his friends Toothfairy and Easter Bunny
    b) that their parents were irresponsible and should have a serious think about stranger danger)

    • raisingedgar says:

      Thanks Snagwin. Exactly – imagine being outraged that another child had told your child the tooth fairy didn’t exist. A childhood stolen.

FWIW, I bought a set of HID 6k fogs and low beam lamps for my 2010 Ram from HID Extra ($60 a set including flicker cancelers) and they work great. I actually swapped the fogs back out to stock partly because the ballast locations were wreaking havoc with my TPMS, but mainly because they were too bright and were blinding oncoming traffic.

The headlights were plug & play too, I just had to drill out the caps on the housings to accept the wiring and the grommets.

IMO HID Extra works very well!

With the Magnum line, Chrysler standardized the parts, so the engines have the same induction, heads, and exhaust. The 5.2 has a higher lift (better) cam than the 5.9, so no need there. Keeping the 360 computer isn't an issue. As long as you swap from the same group, meaning OBD I or OBD II the connectors and harness will fit. Same water pump and other bolt-ons. Remember that the 5.2 is a zero balance engine, meaning there is no external balance weight so you'll need to knock the weight off your 5.9 flexplate, or use a flexplate for an OBD II 5.2 ('96 and up). I'm thinking you'll need the 5.2 harmonic damper also.

Hands-On History

by Jim Cornfield

Gustave Le Gray

This 1856 image by pioneer Gustave Le Gray, showing schooner alone on a vast indifferent ocean, was the most famous photographic image in Europe in its day.

February 06, 2013

On a drizzly Saturday morning last fall, I slipped into the back row of a darkened classroom in the building that houses UCLA Extension’s Visual Arts Program. I was visiting my red-bricked alma mater to peek in on a new photography course that’s been getting some positive buzz: Richard Langendorf’s “Shooting Like the Masters/A History of Photography.” It combines photographic history with digital imaging—a sort of takeoff on the time-honored practice of training painters to copy the work of old masters. I was intrigued.

The scene was a familiar critique session: digital images projected on the screen up front, the instructor, off to one side, orchestrating things from the shadows, dimly lit by the glow from his laptop. Anyone accustomed to this format knows that it’s usually the teacher who does most of the talking. But in Langendorf’s course, each student conducts a personal show-and-tell session from a small lectern, as his or her images cycle onto the screen. Every assignment interprets the work of someone from a roster of history’s photographic superstars. The key visual in each of these presentations (Langendorf insists on PowerPoint software for consistency) is a side-by-side comparison of the student’s work with a historic image that he or she attempted to emulate.The student is asked to explain the genesis of the idea—why a certain picture was selected for the project—and to break down the workflow involved in creating this particular version of the “master’s” image. Afterward, there’s some lively dialogue between class members and Langendorf, touching on the stylistic idiosyncrasies of a given photographer or genre, and the challenges of replicating that look  using contemporary tools of digital after-capture.

Not for Dabblers

Richard Langendorf is an M.I.T. graduate and technophile with a passion for history, and he eagerly pitched the idea for this course to UCLA three years ago when the Extension division initiated its Photography Certificate Program. He felt then, and still believes, that understanding the motives and methods of the photographers who’ve most prominently advanced this craft adds dimension to his students’ perception of the visual world. What better way to acquire that understanding than by trying to recreate the look and feel of these historic photographers’ great images? “When you look at pictures in a book,” he says, “you see photos; when you try to simulate them, you have to look much deeper.”

Langendorf takes this process seriously. He makes that abundantly clear to students in his opening lecture, distributing an imposing stack of handouts that address the course’s academics and imaging assignments. He’s specific about  his guidelines for analyzing the photography of others and his rules for managing workflow and submitting assignments, including details like file compression and naming conventions. “Shooting Like the Masters” is clearly not for a dabbler who wants to kill three hours on the weekend watching slide shows and sipping lattés. Over its 12-week span—with each meeting divided between an illustrated lecture and the student presentations—Langendorf lays out a dizzying, encyclopedic exposition of photography’s 160-plus years of history, interlaced with demanding assignments to produce imagery that can evoke or recreate what the students themselves deem high points. A sampling of their results appears on these pages.

Recounting the Saga

Knowing that many photographers have limited knowledge about the science, industry and creative genius that brought their craft from its clumsy origins to the digital golden age, Langendorf launches his illustrated lectures with the birth of photography and early pioneers—Henry Fox Talbot, Nicéphore Niépce, Louis Daguerre—and seminal artists like Gustave Le Gray and Julia Margaret Cameron.

In successive class sessions, he unveils the whole extraordinary saga, through photography’s emergence as a documentary medium at the hands of Roger Fenton, Timothy O’Sullivan, William Henry Jackson (and scores of others), through the 1880s-1930s era of pictorialism, which brought us the genius of Edward Steichen, Alfred Stieglitz, Minor White and Edward Weston, to name a few. That same era saw the development of documentary photography—Jacob Riis, Lewis Hine, Eugène Atget in the early years, followed by their natural heirs, the photojournalists who documented the Great Depression and beyond—Margaret Bourke-White, Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans and hundreds of others. Then there’s the evolution of “street photography,” with names like George Brassaï, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Manuel Álvarez Bravo. At these, and at every juncture that follows, up through Modernism and Post-Modernism to contemporary fashion imagery, fine art and portraiture, such celebrated shooters as William Eggleston, Jerry Uelsmann, Annie Leibovitz, Eliot Porter and dozens of other groundbreaking practitioners, are all fair game for Langendorf’s students to emulate in their personal projects.

Langendorf makes no pretense that “Shooting Like the Masters” puts his students anywhere close to actual photographic processes from the past. They never have to experience the rigors of handling a collodian wetplate or gum-bichromate printing, or loading film holders in a light-proof changing bag. In fact, the nearest to anything “wet” most of Langendorf’s students will ever be is when they swap cartridges on an inkjet printer. The reality of historic imaging processes is not the point of Langendorf’s teaching model. The illusion is the point—capturing a specific “look” after analyzing photographs so hard-wrought by the artists who wrote the history of this medium. The power to do this is now in the sliders and menus of Photoshop, Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw, Nik Silver Efex Pro, etc. “This course,” Langendorf is quick to admit, “is the obvious beneficiary of digital technology.” But that doesn’t make it any easier.

Award-winning screenwriters Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz-Huyck (American Graffiti, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) are seasoned collectors of fine-art photography and alumni of “Shooting Like the Masters.” Accustomed as they are to the pressure-cooker world of film production, even they found Langendorf’s assignments surprisingly ambitious. “The class meets on Saturdays,” Huyck says, “and if you work full-time, that leaves Sunday as practically the only day to shoot your weekly assignment. You have to manage post-production during your spare time in the evenings. It’s a demanding regimen.”

Obviously the Huycks have no career ambitions as still photographers. For those students who do, “Shooting Like the Masters” is a valuable platform for acquiring the disciplines to survive in the photographic marketplace.

Beyond handling the deadline pressures of Langendorf’s assignment schedule, the course offers useful training in interpreting and executing a client’s wishes. “Shooting Like the Masters” provides the perfect training ground for pre-visualizing and fine-tuning highly specific atmospheric details, color balance, proportion, composition and mood using both in-camera and after-capture tools. Every time you replicate or interpret someone else’s image, you’re executing a strict self-imposed assignment within the narrowest parameters. There’s no better way for acquiring the discipline to function in the competitive commercial world.

Former Langendorf student, Vince Campi, Media Arts Director at Los Angeles’ Charter High School of the Arts, says that “Shooting Like the Masters” is “a combination of software and eye-training, and it’s great skill-building—seeking out the important elements that make up a great photograph, which is a key foundation in learning to see artistically.”

“For me,” says retired aerospace executive Edie Levenson, “this course—dealing with all those iconic photographs—gave me the tools to look critically at what makes a powerful image. And it’s given me a new goal in life, to shoot at least one ‘wow’ picture.”

The Best Hangover 2 Quotes

A list of funny quotes from the 2011 summer comedy "The Hangover Part 2," starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Ken Jeong. The movie polls seemed to be skeptic about a sequel to Hangover, but the movie did deliver some ridiculous comedy. Fans who missed 'The Hangover Part 2' in theaters will get their chance to see the movie before the year is out: Warner Bros. plans to release the movie on DVD in December 2011.

'The Hangover Part 2,' a sequel to the hit 2009 comedy "The Hangover," follows the misadventures of three friends who find themselves lost and adrift following a wild night out in Bangkok, Thailand. The film was written and directed by Todd Phillips, whose previous work includes the first "Hangover," "Due Date," "Old School," "Road Trip" and other ensemble comedies. (NOTE: The film is R-rated and some of the quotes below may contain profanity.)

Despite lukewarm reviews, 'The Hangover Part 2' had a strong box office showing. In its opening weekend, the movie took in a stunning $86 million. As of September 2011, 'The Hangover Part 2' had grossed well over $254 million in the U.S., making it one of the biggest comedies of 2011.

If you're totally into funny summer movie quotes, you might want to check out these quotes from Bad Teacher, Bridesmaids, 'The Change-Up,' 'Horrible Bosses,' '30 Minutes or Less' and of course, the best quotes from the original 'Hangover' movie!

    Alan's Wedding Toast

    Alan: "None of you know Stu like I do. Not you. Not you. Not you. Not you. Not nobody knows Stu like I do. No one. I can’t even tell you what we’ve been through because we made a pact, more important than blood. What I can tell you is this. This is not Stu’s first marriage. There was a whore in Las Vegas a couple of years ago…"

    Alan begins his speech rather awkwardly by reading some "facts" about Thailand, possibly copied from Wikipedia. He then moves into the body of his address, which sets out to prove that (1) he is Stu's best friend and (2) he should not tell the assembled wedding guests about the sordid details of the guys' trip to Vegas. It doesn't really go all that well.
