Burning Man 2007

I don't know if its more depressing when you return or more depressing being in SF and not attending this year.

I did find humor in this guy, who tried to burn the man early. LOL

Hmmm a little acid trip, maybe...

AHHH I love great comments

This guy sent me a message after he saw Alex and I dance at Lucky Peiere on Saturday.



comments = Hey sexy! You looked amazing near naked at the Stud last night. BTW, I checked your site last time you were to dance at the Stud and thought you were a hottie, but you have since kicked your physique up a "notch". You have become a paragon of physical beauty, a heroic figure to inspire adoration, lust, and envy. Be well!

Pot advocate convicted on three charges

But 'ganja guru' won't face further punishment

Pot advocate convicted on three charges
Bob Egelko, Chronicle Staff Writer


(05-30) 13:59 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- Marijuana advocate Ed Rosenthal was convicted for a second time today of violating federal drug laws by growing pot plants for medical patients, but he faces no punishment for the felony convictions, apart from the one day in jail that he has already served.

Rosenthal, 62, of Oakland, a well-known authority on cannabis cultivation, former columnist for High Times magazine and author of a recent book calling for legalization of marijuana, was convicted by a federal jury in San Francisco of three charges of illegal cultivation and conspiracy after a day of deliberations. He was acquitted of a fourth charge, and the jury deadlocked on a fifth charge.

A separate jury had convicted Rosenthal of similar charges in 2003, but the verdict was overturned by an appeals court because of misconduct by a juror who called a lawyer for advice during deliberations. The charges normally carry a sentence of at least five years in prison, but U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer imposed only a one-day sentence, saying Rosenthal had believed he was acting legally because Oakland had designated him as its agent in the city's medical marijuana program.

Federal prosecutors tried to add charges of money-laundering and tax evasion for the retrial, but Breyer refused, saying the government was retaliating for Rosenthal's criticism of the case and his successful appeal. Prosecutors proceeded with the second trial, rejecting the judge's suggestion that they drop the case, but conceded that they could not seek additional punishment for Rosenthal.

Rosenthal was arrested in February 2002 after federal agents seized more than 3,700 marijuana plants at an Oakland warehouse. He was charged with growing marijuana for distribution by a number of medical marijuana dispensaries in the Bay Area.

In both trials, Breyer barred evidence that the marijuana was intended for medical use under Proposition 215, the 1996 California initiative allowing patients to use the drug with their doctor's approval. He also excluded evidence about Rosenthal's designation as an agent by the city of Oakland.

Left without a defense, Rosenthal's lawyers called no witnesses at the retrial, and instead argued that the prosecution's case was tainted by the testimony of some of Rosenthal's former friends and business partners who had been granted leniency.

Because of the judge's rulings, "The jury was not allowed to hear valuable information it needed to make an unbiased and fair decision," Rosenthal said today after the verdict.

His defense lawyers said they would ask Breyer to throw out the convictions.

AIDS Hot Line Number Rings Up Sex Line

Thursday, March 1, 2007

(03-01) 14:25 PST ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) --

A bookmark distributed by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services not only teaches teens and children about HIV and AIDS, it provides a phone number that patches them into a hardcore sex hot line.

St. Joseph resident Lori Felzien said she found out about the hot line when her sixth-grade son dialed the number printed on a bookmark he received during a health lesson at Bessie Ellison Elementary School.

The boy handed her mother the phone and said, "Mom, listen to this."

Felzien's reaction: "We've got to get these cards out of these kids' hands."

The toll-free number once belonged to Teens Teaching AIDS Prevention, part of the Kansas City-based nonprofit Good Samaritan Project. But the AIDS hot line went out of service about a year ago and a sex hot line has since taken over the number.

Felzien said she contacted the school and Mitzi Teliczan of the Buchanan County Health Department, which is also listed on the bookmark.

Teliczan said the department approved a series of bookmarks on different topics several years ago. They were distributed throughout local schools over the past few years.

Nanci Gonder, a spokeswoman for the Missouri health department, said her office is attempting to contact HIV and AIDS prevention groups around the state about the mix up.

She said the health department didn't know the AIDS hot line no longer existed until this week. Gonder added that it will now review all phone numbers it distributes.

Porn DVD Screams Prompt Sword 'Rescue'

Wednesday, February 21, 2007

(02-21) 13:43 PST Oconomowoc, Wis. (AP) --

A man says he broke into an apartment with a cavalry sword because he thought he heard a woman being raped, but the sound actually was from a pornographic movie his upstairs neighbor was watching.

"Now I feel stupid," said James Van Iveren, who has been charged in the case. "This really is nothing, nothing but a mistake."

According to a criminal complaint, the neighbor told police that Van Iveren pounded on the door and kicked it open without warning Feb. 12, damaging the frame and lock.

"Where is she?" Van Iveren demanded, thrusting the sword at the neighbor, the complaint said. "Where is she?"

The neighbor told police Van Iveren became increasingly aggressive as he repeated the question, insisting that he had heard a woman being raped. The complaint said that, with the sword pointed at him, the neighbor led Van Iveren throughout the apartment, opening closet doors to prove he was alone.

The neighbor later played for police the part of the DVD he believed Van Iveren heard downstairs.

Van Iveren, 39, of Oconomowoc, was charged with criminal trespass, criminal damage and disorderly conduct, all while using a dangerous weapon, and is due in court March 5. Together, the misdemeanor counts carry a maximum sentence of 33 months in jail.

Van Iveren said Tuesday that he heard a woman "screaming for help," grabbed the sword, bounded up the stairs, kicked in the apartment door and confronted the man who lived there.

"I intended to hold it behind my back and knock. But I froze and instead, what happened happened," he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Contesting his neighbor's account, Van Iveren said he didn't look anywhere in the apartment except the front room, and that he never threatened the neighbor with the sword.

"I had the sword extended. But that was all," he said.

Van Iveren, who lives with his mother in the downstairs apartment, said he did not call police when he heard the noises because he does not have a telephone. He said he barely knew the upstairs tenant.

Police seized Van Iveren's sword, which he said was a family heirloom.

My boy is so hot!!!

He just sent me these pics he took today. Goddammit he is so fucking hot! Yum!!!

My thoughts on Monogamy

I believe Monogamy is one type of commitment a couple can make to each other. A commitment of only having sex inside their relationship. Love is a commitment. One can only Love one other person at a time, you can commit Love to yourself. Honesty, Presence, Trust, Loyalty, and a Future are other types of commitments a couple can make to each other. I believe Love conquers all. That an active emotional relationship with a person is the strongest commitment. yes i am a pisces.

The act of having a physical sexual encounter with a random person, is just that a physical act. If a couple commits to monogamy, that random act now has meaning. and a consequence. It ties itself in to other relationship commitments. Monogamy can become a prized commitment in a relationship, or not. The great thing about monogamy is that is one of the few commitments a couple can renegotiate later on if they wish. You cant renegotiate Loyalty and certainly not love.

One of the best things about being in love with another person is your natural ability to commit. Commitments provide security. Security in your ability to love and be loved. A Security to help put your feeling and emotions out in view of another person. Security to merge two lives together.

33 page doc for cake requirements. God I love OCD people

Transit agency's requirements take the cake

Phillip Matier, Andrew Ross

San Francisco Chronicle

If red tape were edible, the folks over at the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority would be feasting in style.

Awhile back, the authority put out a bid for the estimated $2,000 worth of cakes and pastries it serves up at office parties every year. Not just any bid, but a 33-page-long bid.

Among the specifications:

-- Each cake must be delivered with a basic theme or adornment (flowers, streamers, colorful border, etc.).

-- Cakes must be available in a minimum of 11 flavors (peach, lemon and banana nut among them).

-- They must have a minimum of 21 fillings (including peach, pumpkin and chocolate cream), with a minimum of six toppings (peanuts, jimmies and coconut, etc.).

-- They must come in a minimum of seven shapes and sizes.

What's more, the agency has the right to refuse any cake that is the "incorrect size, shape (or) design" or has a "foul odor."

As you might imagine, no bidders responded.

VTA spokeswoman Jayme Kunz called the specificatKunzchecklist a case of somebody having "taken a need to follow process to an extreme level."

Agency General Manager Michael Burns, who used to run San Francisco's Municipal Railway, apparently agreed. Burns hadn't known about the guidelines ahead of time, officials said, and pulled the bid before it could go out again.

By the way, Kunz said she had hoped weKunze calling about better news for VTA -- the state just awarded the transit agency $364 million to get the engineering going on a BART link to Silicon Valley.

"We were going to have a cake to celebrate," she said.

REVIEW
An also-ran on 'American Idol,' but don't tell that to his fans

Joel Selvin, Chronicle Senior Pop Music Critic

Tuesday, February 6, 2007

The lighting operator at Slim's really liked Daughtry, the hot new rock band fronted by "American Idol" also-ran Chris Daughtry.

"They've got that totally predictable thing down pat," the stage tech said.

With his first album already past the million sales mark after only 3 months, and a potential hit single lurking in the wings, Daughtry looks to be on the verge of exploding. Fans camped out in front of the club all day Sunday, Super Bowl or no Super Bowl. Actress Michelle Pfeiffer called to request tickets.

Full cell phone camera mania greeted the 28-year-old rock singer with the shaved head and pencil-line beard. The audience looked a little old to be shrieking like teenyboppers, but did anyway.

He may have finished only fourth on last season's "Idol" finals, but he has rapidly passed winner Taylor Hicks and his "Soul Patrol" following in the real world. Daughtry clearly connects with an audience and it would seem to be only the beginning for him.

Wearing a black muscle T-shirt and switching off between electric and acoustic guitars, Daughtry led his quartet through a brisk 50-minute performance. He was properly earnest and deferential. ("If it wasn't for each and every one of you, I wouldn't be standing here.")

Fortunately, he sings with more charisma. He has a tortured bel canto style ideally suited to the agonized songs like "What I Want." His fans -- "Can I call you friends?" he asked -- sang along with every word of "Over You" off the album. He tossed guitar picks into the sea of waving arms after every song.

The North Carolinian is a clean-cut, married man, father of two, who told the radio interviewer during the sound check performance that he left his young children at home on this tour because he didn't want them hanging out at the bars he was playing. Undoubtedly he will return this summer, packaged for the amphitheaters, where they can play backstage and not miss school.

The band came well armed; a bank of Marshall amplifiers, their own mixing board and sound engineer. Daughtry is handled by the management arm of the "American Idol" producers, who brought on as a specialist the man who discovered Hanson. The album was made by the producer of recent hits by Hoobastank, the All-American Rejects and other pop-punk cannon fodder.

One of the songs on the album he wrote without co-writers is "Home," a surefire tearjerker that sounds custom-made to raise goose bumps at the end of some sappy movie. The aptly titled "It's Not Over" is the album's first track currently at radio and it would appear to have an active half-life still remaining before the label pulls the pin on "Home."

The Slim's management estimated they could have sold four or five more shows, ticket demand was so great. But Daughtry chose to stir excitement in the fan base with a loss-leader club tour.

It was a great idea, a real soft landing of a first pass through town. But he probably should avoid the "Sunday Bloody Sunday" cover unless he likes sounding like a half-baked U2 tribute band.
