Bryan Batt

Bryan Batt is an American actor known mostly for his theater work,
but Bryan Batt has had a number of starring roles in movies and television as well.

Bryan Batt ’s performance in the stage adaptation of Saturday Night Fever earned
him one of New York City’s more unusual honors, a caricature at Sardi’s.

Bryan Batt currently appears in the AMC series Mad Men as Salvatore, a closeted
homosexual advertising executive. Bryan Batt, who is himself openly gay, has played
gay roles on film Jeffrey and Kiss Me, Guido and stage La Cage aux Folles.

In 2005, Bryan Batt told Playbill that he used to worry about the effect of coming
out on his career: “When I played the lead in Sunset Blvd., the movie of Jeffrey
was coming out, and I was petrified. Back then, every agent told you that if you
want to play a straight role, you don’t come out. This was before Ellen [DeGeneres]
came out. But now I couldn’t give a rat’s ass. It’s normal to be gay.

Bryan Batt lives with his partner, Tom Cianfichi, an events planner.
Bryan Batt and Cianfichi have been together more than eighteen years;
they met while performing Evita in Akron, Ohio.
Bryan Batt was playing Che Guevara, and Cianfichi was the understudy for Magaldi.
Bryan Batt and Cianfichi own a home decor and furnishings store, Hazelnut, on
Magazine Street in New Orleans.

little green footballs

Little Green Footballs or LittleGreenFootballs or LGF is a political blog run by California web designer Charles Johnson.
In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, Johnson - who describes himself as pretty much
center-left before 9/11 - transformed his blog Little Green Footballs or littlegreenfootballs ’s discussion of bicycle
racing, programming, web design, and the occasional humorous news item into a very active
discussion of the War on Terror, Islam and the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Media observers have described the site Little Green Footballs or LittleGreenFootballs or LGF as right wing observes
Johnson:
I’m not pretending I’m giving equal time to both sides. But I do think what I’m advocating,
and what I believe in, is the right side.

For promoting Israel, and Zionism and “presenting Israel’s side of the conflict, Little Green Footballs
won the Best Israel Advocacy Blog award from the Jerusalem Post in 2005.

According to Gil Ronen, a reporter for Internet news outlet, Israel National News:
If anyone ever compiles a list of Internet sites that contribute to Israel’s public relations effort,
Johnson’s site Little Green Footballs will probably come in first, far above the Israeli Foreign
Ministry’s site.

In the United States, Little Green Footballs LGF is perhaps best known for playing a key role
in raising doubts about the authenticity of the Killian documents regarding President George
W. Bush, which preceded the resignation of CBS’s Dan Rather. The site Little Green Footballs won the
Washington Post’s reader poll for Best International Blog in November 2004 and played a large role
in bringing attention to altered photographs in the Adnan Hajj photographs controversy. In July 2008,
Little Green Footballs LGF identified that photographs of Iran’s nuclear missile test had been altered,
and was credited by much of the media for this.

tara grinstead

Tara Grinstead, 30, was a teacher and former beauty queen. Tara Grinstead attended a beauty pageant and a dinner party, and headed home. But Tara hasn’t been seen since… Tara Grinstead has been missing since October of 2005.

Tara Grinstead has been missing since October 22, 2005. After attending a beauty pageant and dinner, she told friends she was going home… and hasn’t been heard from since.

Friends and family tried to contact Tara the next day, but were unable to reach her. Then the following Monday, Grinstead did not show up for work at Irwin County High School. Her co-workers called police to report her as missing.

Police went to Tara Grinstead’s home in Ocilla, Georgia, where they found the clothing she had worn that Saturday night piled on her bedroom floor. They found her cell phone plugged into the charger, and her car in her driveway. But Tara’s purse and keys were both missing.

There was a latex glove found on her front lawn, which was sent to a lab for testing, but results proved inconclusive.

Grinstead’s family said Tara was very tidy and found it odd she would have left her clothes on her bedroom floor, and that Tara never left home without carrying her cell phone.

One odd thing they discovered was that her car was unlocked and her seat was pushed back really far, which would be strange for a petite 5 ‘ 3″ tall woman.

Something else strange, there was an envelope full of cash was found on her dashboard, and her dog and cat were abandoned. Police nor family could say where the money came from or whether it belonged to Grinstead, and her sister and friends say Grinstead was an animal lover who wouldn’t leave her pets abandoned.

There did not appear to be signs of break-in or a struggle, but Grinstead’s bedside clock was underneath her bed. And a lamp was broken into two pieces and was propped against the wall on the nightstand.

Tara Grinstead was a well-liked teacher, and was making a great future for herself. But she did seem to have a troubled personal life. Tara Grinstead’s ex-boyfriend had broken her heart a year before, but had come back to town just weeks before her disappearance.

Tara’s ex was dating a much younger woman, but still called Tara. Grinstead’s sister said that her sister and her ex had argued just a week before she disappeared.

Then new things were revealed, such as Grinstead’s young former student, who stated he had an affair with her. Police records show that she had him arrested for coming to her home and harassing her, but she later dropped the charges.

Tara Grinstead had filed a complaint with the police against one of their own officers. The officer was a friend to her ex-boyfriend, and the night Grinstead disappeared, the men were seen together in his police car, doing a “ride along”. Coincidence?

Tara Grinstead is still considered a missing-person case. Police have not ruled out foul play, but they also considered she may have just walked away from all the drama in her life.

Grinstead’s family and friends insist she is not the kind of person to go off on her own without being in touch with her family. They emphasize that the circumstances surrounding her disappearance are highly of out of character for her. They are certain she was abducted.

Police have not named any suspects but continue to hope for tips that could help their investigation. The total reward offered is $200,000 — $100,000 for Grinstead’s safe return and $100,000 for tips leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible for abducting her. To report a tip, call 229-468-TIPS

Air Jordan XI

Released November 1995
Michael’s intuitive insight of bringing a “formal look” to the court, served as the inspiration for this remarkable rendition. Like the man, the Air Jordan XI is sophisticated and without equal.

AIR JORDAN XIII

Released November 1997
Perhaps Michael’s most famous shot ever took place in Game 6 of the Finals against Utah. His final shot before retiring (a second time), his final shot for Chicago, it also proves to be the game winner, handing the team their third consecutive Championship.

AIR JORDAN XIV

Released November 1998
Inspired by Michael’s love of cars, the AJ XIV takes on the stylish design of Michael’s very own Ferrari 550 M. As usual, it’s a shoe to inspire greatness in all players.

Designed with MJ’s Ferrari in mind, the original Jordan 14 ushered out the last championship run with the Bulls, culminating with a memorable last second shot in the Finals.
