Amber Callahan photos and videos: "THEN & NOW You see that girl on the left? Yea that use to be me. A girl that struggled a mental battle of body dysmorphia that eventually turned into anorexia. I only ate maybe twice a day back then. I did cardio for hours and hours on end. Eventually I ended up weighing 80 lbs. and was battling a bunch of health issues that came with it. I guess in my mind that being skinny was the epitome of perfection. Over those years, I gained control over my thoughts. Your mind can be own worst enemy. I knew that if I was going to change, I had to change the way I thought about myself. I asked myself “What is even considered perfection?" Eventually to discover there's no such thing. Right now, I am my biggest accomplishment in life. I don't know who or where I would be right now if I didn't make that change. Back then I told myself “I'm going to look like one of those fitness girls someday." It wasn't an easy road getting to this point. It surely doesn't happen over night neither. I don't regret ever battling with what I did. It has really shaped me into who I am today and what I'm all about."

#Science - "In Russia, my little pony was the 7th most searched term last year..."

3 Recent Studies That Explore Porn Trends and Effects - Hit & Run : Reason.com: "Pornhub also looked at which searches have gained the most over 2014. Some of the more safe-for-work words: giantess (up 1,091 percent), real public sex (up 583 percent), romantic sex (up 267 percent), and lesbian seduces straight (up 244 percent). For U.S. users only, hardcore lesbian scissoring saw the most gain (up 918 percent), followed by celebrity sex tape (up 553 percent). Other leaps included extreme gangbang (260 percent), step mom shower (213 percent), and yoga (133 percent).

The top three U.S. categories were Lesbian, Ebony, and Big Dick. The U.K.'s top categories were Lesbian, Teen, and Mature, and british chav made its first appearance among the country's top search terms. The British were also the most likely to search for the term Indian. Meanwhile, in India, users were searching out their own bhabhis, actresses, wives, college students, aunties, and teens, along with Japanese and Indonesian porn. Canada, notes Pornhub, "is one of the few countries that does not feature its own nationality as a top searched term." The Italians are the only consumers for whom footjob and feet make it into the most-searched. In Brazil, some of the fastest-gaining search terms include Pokemon and Scooby Doo. In Russia, my little pony was the 7th most searched term last year...

"The categories viewed more often by women compared to men included "lesbian," "solo male," "hardcore," "rough sex," "gangbang," "bondage," "double penetration," "toys," and "gay (male)." Overall, the top Pornhub categories for female visitors were Lesbian, Gay (male), Big Dick, Teen, Threesome, and Babysitter while the top categories for male visitors were Teen, Big Dick, Ebony, Milf, Lesbian, and Mature."

"...while there’s little to like about Sanders beyond his praise for Edward Snowden and condemnation of military adventurism, there’s virtually nothing to like about any of his rivals."

Bernie Sanders’ Critics, Supporters Are Ignoring the Most Admirable Thing About Him - Hit & Run : Reason.com: "Chait is actually glossing over a considerable advantage of Sanders’ candidacy—at least, from a libertarian standpoint. Sanders has not vowed to expand the powers of the executive branch, he has not promised new foreign entanglements—and has criticized those favored by his Democratic and Republican rivals—and he remains a steadfast opponent of the Patriot Act and unlimited federal spying on American citizens. With the obvious exception of Rand Paul, Sanders is almost completely alone in this regard.

Indeed, it’s worth recognizing that among the five most plausible presidential candidates at this stage of the campaign—Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Clinton, and Sanders—there is only one articulating something approaching a libertarian position on a chunk of issues: civil liberties and foreign policy. That candidate is Sanders.

One can argue, of course, that Sanders’ sensible views on these subjects are more than cancelled out by his desire to impose higher taxes and cumbersome financial regulations on the American people. I would agree that the “bad” column outweighs the “good” column in Sanders' case, as it does for virtually every politician seeking higher office. But while there’s little to like about Sanders beyond his praise for Edward Snowden and condemnation of military adventurism, there’s virtually nothing to like about any of his rivals. When it comes to government policy, Sanders has signaled his preference for executive restraint on at least a few issues, which is more than Clinton, Trump, Cruz, or Rubio can say. He deserves some small praise for his stances on these issues, regardless of whether his liberal critics view them as a weakness."

Definitely, I'm looking forward to this way more than Batman v Superman. Smith, Robbie and Leto all looking derangedly good, but Courtney is a surprisingly on-point standout in the trailer.

Training - "They don't want you to 'accept yourself,' they want you to accept your mediocrity..."

1/18 - bench, chins, pushups, sauna, stretch

1/16 & 17 - stretch

Paraphrasing something I read this weekend... Don't be fooled by the so-called "accept yourself" speech. They don't want you to "accept yourself," they want you to accept your mediocrity so that they can justify their own. They want you to accept that you can't or won't improve yourself. Accepting yourself is accepting that you always have the ability and the capacity to work to be better. You can always strive for more.
