Neo-Nazi Will Face Trial For Allegedly Killing Woman In An Interracial Relationship
A neo-Nazi who will face trial for allegedly killing a white woman in an interracial relationship plans to use his great-grandfather as part of his defense.
The defense for Travis Ricci, whose murder trial is set to begin June 6, is expected to argue that Ricci isn't the man he once was, in part because he realized his great-grandfather was a member of the French Resistance killed by Nazis in World War II, The Associated Press reported. Authorities are seeking the death penalty for Ricci, who...

Devil In The Flesh 2
)
Movies like THE CRUSH have explored the obsessive female mind in a far less grating manner than this one. In this sequel to 1998's DEVIL IN THE FLESH, Jodi Lyn O’Keefe (of TV's Nash Bridges) takes over the role of psychopath Debbie Strong from Rose McGowan. Locked up in the looney bin for killing both her mother and grandmother, Strong is enraged to learn that the doctor to whom she wrote reams of love poetry has shared her writings with the rest of the staff. Their concensus is that she's ...

Boss Of Bosses
)
The Mafia has always fascinated filmmakers and the viewing public, and the success of The Sopranos made gangsters hotter than they'd been since the release of THE GODFATHER. TNT’s attempt to cash in on mobster madness falls laughably short of the bar raised by the HBO series. In the right hands, the story of real-life mob boss Paul Castellano (Chazz Palminteri) would be a compelling one. His story begins in Brooklyn, where young Paul (Yani Gellman) and some pals have been recruited to help ...

Dark Prince: The True Story Of Dracula
If you’re looking for blood-sucking creatures of the night, this picture isn’t for you. Instead of rehashing creepy crawly vampire cliches, it attempts to bring to life the historical figure on whom Bram Stoker based his famous monster. The story begins as Vlad Tepes (convincingly played by one-time soap hunk Rudolf Martin) — Vlad the Impaler, as he was later known — explaining his life’s choices to a board of Greek Orthodox priests, who are deciding whether or not to excommunicate him. In fl...

Six scenarios for couples getting back together
(The Frisky) -- Like everyone else, I've been glued to the Chris Brown/Rihanna debacle, especially when news broke that she had decided to get back together with the guy she has accused of leaving her bruised and battered.
But here's the thing: loads of couples breakup and then make up and sometimes things work out great. But knowing when, and under what circumstances, to forgive and forget is key, and most of us won't know until we're thrust into that situation. Nevertheless, here are some s...

4 Things That Happen To Your Vagina When You Stop Having Sex
The benefits of a healthy, happy sex life are myriad: Besides being fun, regular (good) sex boosts your immune system, cuts your stress levels, lowers your blood pressure, and reduces your risk of heart attack. Depending how much effort you put into it, intercourse also kinda/sorta counts as exercise, so you can feel good about being short a few steps on your Fitbit. Oh, and when you orgasm, a hormone called oxytocin—the "cuddle hormone"—floods your body with a rush of bliss, putting a smile ...

9 Types Of People Who Get UTIs The Most
Some illnesses have ambiguous symptoms. A stuffy nose could be anything from a cold to seasonal allergies, and that hacking cough might mean you have bronchitis, pneumonia, or even acid reflux. But once you've experienced the burning, overwhelming, I-need-to-pee-right-now sensation caused by a urinary tract infection, you'll never forget it.
Hector Pimentel, MD, a Grand Rapids, MI-based urologist, says that most people can avoid UTIs by drinking two-and-a-half to three liters of liquids a day...

6 Ways To Make Masturbation Even Better
Want to relieve some stress, bring a smile to your face, rev up your sex drive, and figure out how your body works? Masturbate. Since nearly half of women between 18 and 49 cop to "jilling off" on a regular basis, you may know this already. And if you're part of the 50% who don't indulge in regular bouts of "me time," (or are too shy to tell a researcher!) it's time you let your fingers do the walking.
While the benefits of masturbation are well-documented, a lot of us get lazy and stick to t...

7 Things Your Partner Should Never Ask You To Do
In the oxytocin-induced haze of the first few months of a relationship, it's too easy to turn a blind eye to potential red flags...the casual nagging, the questionable behaviors or requests...after all, this person makes you laugh, tells you you're beautiful, and helps you achieve orgasms! What more could a lady want, right? Or maybe you're in a marriage or long-term partnership and, despite all the things you love about them, you still have nagging suspicions about a few troubling tendencies...

What The Heck Is Vaginal Laser Therapy, And Should You Try It?
Along with pesky chin hairs, hot flashes, and a tendency to thicken around the middle, many menopausal women also get stuck with vaginal atrophy, which means the walls of the vagina become thinner, drier, and more easily inflamed. For pretty obvious reasons, atrophy tends to lead to dyspareunia, more commonly known as painful intercourse.
