A handful of budding queer activists are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore in this comedy drama from filmmaker Everett Lewis. India (Joe Lia) is a handsome young runaway who has arrived in Los Angeles after fleeing the small Colorado town where he was born and raised. India is hoping that L.A. will be a more tolerant environment after anti-gay attitudes drove him away from his hometown, but he discovers that's not the case when he is soon forced to square off against a pair of homophobic goons. But India is fortunate enough to be rescued by Destiny (Allan Louis), a drag queen determined to make the world safe for sexual outsiders of all stripes. Traveling with a crew of men and women determined to live and love as they please, Destiny invites India to join him as they take on uptight and violent straights wherever they find them, eager to express affection as they wish without accepting the role of victim that many are eager to hang on them. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |

Conceiving Ada
$14.56
In 1980 the U.S. Department of Defense named the Ada programming language in honor of Lord Byron's daughter, the mathematician Ada Byron King, Countess of Lovelace (1815-1852), credited as the "first computer programmer" because of her plan for calculating Bernoulli numbers. Lady Ada was 18 when she met Charles Babbage and learned about his Analytical Engine. She expanded his concepts into an 1843 article on the subject, and she also predicted the sound and graphics possibilities of computers. This science-fiction film features Ada Byron King as the central figure. Directed by video artist Lynn Hershman Leeson, the co-director of Shooting Script: A Transatlantic Love Story (1992), it also includes a few cast members known for cyber-communications, such as Timothy Leary (filmed nine days before his death) and John Perry Barlow (Grateful Dead lyricist and Electronic Frontier Foundation co-founder), plus "electronic Victorian" music by The Residents (who moved from pure sonic explorations to CD-ROM virtual experiences). Artificial intelligence researcher Amy Coer (Francesca Faridany) uses cybertechnology tactics to probe the past in hopes of locating Ada Byron King (Tilda Swinton), her spiritual mentor. Receiving input, time-tracking tips, and guidance from cyber-guru Sims (Timothy Leary), Amy is successful, and the two women communicate over the centuries, although Ada is initially puzzled. Comparing notes, they find gender is a setback, since Charles Babbage (John O'Keefe) receives recognition while Ada's ideas are forgotten. Amy's research encounters roadblocks set up by her boyfriend Nicholas Clayton (J.D. Wolfe). Amy is pregnant and plans to name her child Ada, hoping that she can overcome the long-standing gender barriers. Shown at 1997 film festivals (Sundance, Toronto). ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi |

Based on the shettles method, am I going to have a girl?
First of all, if your not familair with the Shettles method, here is the link

My husband and I (according to dr's and my due date, etc) conceived on the 25th of april. I was supposed to ovulate on the 19th, b/c thats what the computers say (I know they arent always right). Anyways, we had sex on the 17th, 18th, and 22nd. If we had sex on the 22nd, and I didnt ovulate until the 25th (thats 3 days before ovulation) - do you think according to Shettles I'll be having a girl??
It's hard to say. My sister in law has a 3 year old boy and she wanted a girl so they tried this method. She had sex 3 and 4 days before ovualtion but she just had her ultrasound and it's a boy!!! She was upset a little that the method did not work. My husband and I are trying this method too for a boy. I have a girl now but want a boy next. I hope it works for us but there is no guarantee. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. Good luck and congrats on your pregnancy!!!
