Re: “The Perfect Sidekick Offers a Safe Space for Lesbians — and Straight Women — to Work Out”
Such an SMART move -- It's crazy nobody had thought of it before. But Nathalie has a personality that I think no one could have brought to an LGBT gym if they tried. Congrats on having the guts to be an innovative thinking and going for it!
To The Perfect Sidekick, trainers and clients - keep up the hustle and good work!
Re: “Cat-sturbating”
Regarding the small paragraph at the end of the article... No, Matthew Vines is not your friend. His arguments are rather flawed. Sure, read and explore, but make sure you consider both sides of the argument, eg by reading this:

Re: “Cat-sturbating”
If anything the cat was probably attracted to the masturbation happening in its midst. My husband and I have to lock our cat out of the bedroom every time we have sex because she always wants in on the action. Cats are just freaky little perverts, bless their little hearts.
Re: “Beyond the Doll's House”
Making a living as an artist is a challenge. I'm a composer, whose had NEA funding. However, that is no guarantee that commissions will keep coming in .
Most recently, I've opened a piano studio in the Oakland/San Leandro area ( www.hectorarmientapianostudio.com). I also run Opera Cultura in the South Bay.
Teaching and being an artistic entrepreneur are key to survival. Keep fighting the good fight. My best, Hector Armienta - Opera Cultura
Re: “Beyond the Doll's House”
Rachel, I love this and plan to throw out some of these undeniable facts to our 3Girls Playwrights Forum next monday March 26th) at the Thick House. Thanks (or maybe you'd like to come and put another two cents in?
Re: “Solving Equations, Solving Crimes with Camille Minichino”
Is this the same Camille Minichino who used to teach at John F. Kennedy University in Orinda?
If so, ask her to contact Dave Givens at drdavidgivens@hotmail.com. Thank you and
Best Regards

Re: “Napoleon's Epic Premiere”
For those who arrange weekend marathons to watch all of Star Wars, the Godfather, Dexter, or The Wire, five and half hours is nothing. The fifteen-hour production (over four nights) of Wagner's Ring Cycle was an unforgettable event in my life. Some things can be so worth the time, so there's no way I'm missing Gance's Napoleon! Thanks for the alert, Ms. Harwood!
Re: “Worlds Collide in Thomas Christensen's '1616'”
Great review! I'm definitely adding this to my reading list. I love stories that tie together parallel timelines and I look forward to seeing how the photography and prose work together.
Re: “Femikaze on Mars”
I have seen Femikaze live before, and it was a fantastic show! I find myself trying to explain the sketches to other people, and I can never do them justice. If you crave comedy that is as witty as it is silly, check these very funny women out.
Re: “Molière in Modern Medicine”
Oh no, I think we ran a correction, too. Thanks, Hurwitt.
Re: “Molière in Modern Medicine”
No, you were right: Shotgun did produce it in 2004, and Berkeley Rep also staged it in 2006. Lisa Drostova reviewed both of those productions in the East Bay Express.
Re: “Molière in Modern Medicine”
Ah, thank you. My gaffe. Will fix.
Re: “Molière in Modern Medicine”
Shotgun didn't do The Miser, Berkeley Rep did in the 05/06 season. With Epps.
Re: “Mesmerizingly Mesmeric Revelation”
Mr Henne is quoted in the E Bay Express, "... Imagine that three hundred years ago someone was saying, 'There's this invisible substance called electricity that pulses through all of us' -- it sounds ridiculous today, but at the time it wasn't inconceivable."
It is NOT ridiculous today. Mr Henne, are you aware of the electron transfer that occurs in the electron transport chain in all the mitochondria of all the cells on earth? It's the same phenomenon that is going on in ALL of the doped silicon chips on earth -- electrons are going to ground from their on/off voltage(s). In the mitochondria, with the electronic impulses "going through all of us", the electrons don't really go to "ground" they go to .... Oxygen! Really! Seriously, they do. The oxygen you breathe, the very same oxygen discovered and elucidated by Antoine Lavoisier, is introduced to two electrons per oxygen atom and then attracts two hydrogen nuclei (aka protons) and thus each oxygen atom becomes a molecule of water! Breath becomes piss. That's biology. That's what's "pulsing through all of us."
Go ahead and look up "electron transfer" in Wikipedia, or in a biochemistry textbook or a biology textbook. It will say what I've just said, about how it's a process that occurs in ALL cells -- plants, animals, yeast, you name it -- and then goes on to say that all this electron transfer is so the cells can have a supply of ATP.
If you're interested, I can tell you the rest of the story, about how ol' Mesmer might've been onto something; and you should NEVER underestimate the Kuhnian recalcitrance of the biomedical establishment.

Re: “IsAnyoneUp.com and the Porn Generation”
As you probably know, some of the people that end up on isanyoneup have the pictures sent in without their permission. When they try to get Hunter Moore, the site's owner, to take the pictures down they often get ignored, or worse yet, get subjected to more ridicule.
I offer a service that gets the unauthorized pictures removed. Before becoming an attorney, I was a software engineer and I use my technical background to track down the companies and servers that are providing images that are infringing copyright rights. I then use the law to get the embarrassing and illegal pictures removed.
You can find more information about my service here:

Please let your readers know about it in case they need help getting pictures removed from isanyoneup or any other so-called "revenge porn" websites.
Best regards,

Re: “The Perfect Sidekick Offers a Safe Space for Lesbians — and Straight Women — to Work Out”
This article hits the nail on the head! The Perfect Sidekick is an accepting and honest group of people who are improving their lives through community and fitness. Nathalie genuinely cares about the overall health and happiness of her members, A rarity in the (sometimes shallow) fitness industry...
