It looks like Nina Dobrev has been listening to me , because here she is at the CW Network’s Upfronts in New York, and thankfully she’s not trying to cover herself up for once. Granted, this isn’t exactly a bikini, but her body’s looking pretty good in that tight dress. And since we want to encourage Nina to keep this up, make sure to show her your appreciation. I’ve already done it twice today, and I think I might even try for a third. » view all 20 photos Photos: WENN.com

Submitted by Chris Martenson Greece Is Just A Preview Of What’s Coming For The Rest Of Us All eyes are on Greece these days, with hopes the situation there can soon be resolved and the global recovery kicked into high gear. Sadly, those hopes are misguided claims Ben Davies, CEO of Hinde Capital. In fact, he says, Greece’s pain foreshadows the future awaiting the rest of the world. It all comes down… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : zero hedge Discovery Date : 25/02/2012 02:42 Number of articles : 2
New York City dating author J.C. Davies says that Latino men are macho and possessive, Asian men are bad in bed, black men hate it when you talk about Al Sharpton, and Indian men smell like curry — but, she says, she’s not racist. “No one has the balls to write about sex and culture in a real way,” said Davies, author of the new book “I Got the Fever: Love, What’s Race Gotta Do With It?” “You have to make it super-p.c. and be the professor of blah-de-blah and have charts and graphs. The expectation is that [black men] are great in the sack and have huge equipment — don’t people really wanna know? Is the equipment super-sized? Let’s just go ask some people!” (Answer: some, not all — just as with most everything in life.) Davies, 42, describes her own ethnicity as “poor white trash” (she’s actually part Croatian, Welsh and German). She worked as a stock-options analyst for Goldman Sachs until she was laid off in October. Devastated and facing foreclosure on her Midtown condo, she was inspired to write her (self-published) book — complete with cover photo of her surrounded by a multicultural array of shirtless male models — when a friend suggested she “write about dating black guys.” “My first black boyfriend, he was a Republican, and I guess most people, because he was so corporate and wore a suit, would say he was an Oreo.” Davies doesn’t seem to realize that this is both an offensive and decidedly outdated term, but that’s the way she speaks — kind of like Jerry Seinfeld’s casually racist girlfriend on the infamous “Anti-Dentite” episode of “Seinfeld.” It also doesn’t seem to register that fetishizing other races is a form of racism. Moving on: Davies maintained that her book is researched and reported, based on hundreds of interviews (with people who are not fully named), and her own interracial dating experiences. She may have gone too far, Davies admitted, in writing, “Beware of the JAPs” (JAP is an acronym for the derogatory term “Jewish American Princess”). “I kind of went a little crazy there,” she said. “I have my own personal issues with the JAPs. My boyfriend’s three best friends are JAPs.” Speaking of: Is her boyfriend — an Iranian Jew — offended that, in the book, she describes his expression in bed as “terrorist face”? “He doesn’t mind that,” Davies said — only when she calls him “a Jewish hoarder.” What a slore. Only an “oreo” would date this broad. SMH. This crazy beyotch calls her own boyfriend “terrorist face,” imagine what kind of nicknames she might give their future kids!!! Oh and get this, these are the section titles in the book: Salsa Fever, Yellow Fever, Jungle Fever, Curry Fever and Shiksa Fever! What is wrong with this ho!?!?!? Source

Kinks bassist Pete Quaife dead at 66 Pete Quaife, the original bassist of the Kinks, has died, according to bandmate Ray Davies. Quaife was 66. Quaife died of kidney failure Wednesday in Herlev, Denmark. He moved to Denmark in 2005 after many years in Canada. He had recently gotten engaged to his partner, Elisabeth. “I am overwhelmed with emotion- I literally can't speak- we might never have done any of this without him,” said Kinks guitarist Dave Davies in a statement on his website, davedavies.com. “The Kinks were never really the Kinks without you.” Peter Alexander Greenlaw Quaife – as he was listed on the back cover of the band's 1968 masterpiece, “The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society” – was the bassist during the band's British Invasion height, playing on such hits as “You Really Got Me,” “All Day and All of the Night,” “Tired of Waiting for You,” “A Well-Respected Man” and “Sunny Afternoon.” In John Mendelssohn's 1985 biography of the band, “The Kinks Kronikles,” producer Shel Talmy called him the most musical of the four-man group. The Kinks – made up of guitarist/vocalist Ray Davies (the band's primary songwriter), Ray's brother Dave and drummer Mick Avory along with Quaife – originally formed in 1961, with Quaife a co-founder. With its hard-driving power chords and distortion, 1964's “You Really Got Me,” the band's third single, has been called a forerunner of heavy metal. But the complicated relationship between the Davies brothers was also a forerunner of that of other angry rock 'n' roll siblings, such as Oasis' Gallagher brothers, and Quaife briefly left the band in 1966 after being injured in an accident – a period he described as “a good break for me” given the discord. He returned a few months later. The Kinks had a fallow commercial period in America from about 1966 until 1969 – ironically a period of some of the band's most notable albums, including 1966's “Face to Face,” 1967's “Something Else by the Kinks” and “Village Green Preservation Society.” Quaife left after the release of that album and the single “Days” to join a band called Maple Oak. He was replaced by John Dalton for the next Kinks album, 1969's “Arthur.” The Kinks were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, and Quaife played with them at the showcase concert. Quaife is survived by a daughter, Camilla, from a previous marriage. http://img177.imageshack.us/i/thekinksje3.jpg/ added by: EthicalVegan
