A Chance Alignment Between Galaxies
NASA – The Hubble Space Telescope shows a rare view of a pair of overlapping galaxies, called NGC 3314. The two galaxies look as if they are colliding, but they are actually separated by tens of millions of light-years, or about ten times the distance between our Milky Way and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy. The chance alignment of the two galaxies, as seen from Earth, gives a unique look at the silhouetted spiral arms in the closer face-on spiral, NGC 3314A.

Should Domain Proposals for .Porn, .Sex Be Rejected?

By



An anti-porn group is opposing a series of porn-related suffixes that could potentially be added to the Internet’s top-level domains, including .porn, .sex and .adult.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which assigns top-level domains to sites worldwide, announced on Wednesday a list of domains that have been applied for that could be added to the existing list that includes “.com” and “.gov.” But the Morality in Media organization is petitioning to reject the request to introduce the porn-related domains, arguing that it will encourage more pornography on the web.

Morality in Media wants supporters to ask President Obama and Congress to also oppose the domains. Since last night, 1,000 people have already signed the petition.

“America is already suffering an untreated pandemic of harm from pornography and we need less, not more, pornography,” Morality in Media said in a press release.

ICANN approved adult website domain .xxx in 2011, following years of opposition from the U.S. government. The ICM Registry, which sponsors the .xxx top-level domain for the adult community, is also behind the request for .porn, .sex and .adult.

“The U.S. Government opposed the creation of .xxx domain for 10 years, but unfortunately lost that battle,” Dawn Hawkins, executive director of Morality in Media, told Mashable. “Not only does the creation of these new ‘porn’ domains mean there will be more and ever-deviant pornography available on the Internet, it also means that ICM Registry stands to make millions more from all the companies and brands that do not want their brands associated with pornography.”

ICANN also revealed a list of company-related domain requests, such as .Apple and .Google, to more generic ones, including .lol, .pizza and .poker.

Google applied for more than 100 domains, including .lol, .youtube, .map, .car, .cloud, .dad, .mom, .dot and .fun. Meanwhile, Amazon put in 70 applications, such as .Amazon, .app, .author, .coupon, .book and .shop.

Do you think the porn-related suffixes would help make the .com domain more porn-free or are separate domains for porn unnecessary? Let us know your opinion in the comments.

Hayden Panettiere Cute in a Polka Dot Summer Dress and High Heels at the CMT Awards

By

Hayden Panettiere brings the cute and sexy to the CMT Awards wearing a pretty summer polka dot dress and Christian Louboutin  pumps. Never noticed before what nice curves she has. She is displaying an attractive amount of cleavage. I’ve always been a fan of her legs. They seem to be in tip top shape. I’m looing forward to her new TV show, ‘Nashville’, in the fall with my favorite, Connie Britton. These two will no doubt duke out the sex appeal factor on the show. Win-win either way.

Malin Akerman’s Left Leg is Gorgeous in a Revealing High Slit Dress

By

Malin Akerman looks amazing in a revealing long gown with a stunning high slit up the side. Of course those with nothing original to say suggests that Malin is simply copying the ever popular “Jolie pose”. Like no woman has ever purposefully stuck their leg out of the slit in their dress before Pitt’s piece. Why would you have a thigh high slit in your dress if you did not want people to have a look at your legs? Anyway, the woman looks amazing as usual. Love the dress and heels. She is very stylish and knows how to make the most of her sex appeal.

Sarah Shahi Red Carpet High Heel Salute in a Sexy Dress

By

Sarah Shahi makes her way down the red carpet wearing a strapless little black dress those shows off her gorgeous curves and sexy legs. She appears in one of those goofy USA shows called Fairly Legal. I was just getting settled into the show when they announce the season is over. I don’t get these 10 episode seasons. It’s hardly a season. What season lasts 10 weeks? Only in the stupidpidity of Hollywood would this be a season. Anyway, the chick is gorgeous. She shows off her wonderful sex appeal as she poses on the red carpet giving a nice high heel salute to the cameras.

Sara Evans Shapely Legs in a Silver Mini Dress and Heels on the CMT Red Carpet

By

Sara Evans looked amazing attending the cheesefest, otherwise known as the CMT Music Awards. Good grief the woman has shapely and toned legs. And from the looks of the choice she made of the short silver dress and high heels she enjoys showing them off. It is fairly obvious Sara takes the time to maintain her stems. You don’t get such head turning pins by sitting on the couch and watching a desperate housewife do dumb things. No, this is a woman that hauls her butt to the gym or hits the pavement for a run. Well done.
