action alert! The Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee of the Ugandan Parliament just passed the "Kill the Gays" bill, which would allow extreme punishment for homosexuality. Now, it is up to the general Parliament to stop it. Uganda, Don't Pass the "Kill the Gays" Bill! please share it helps!     Dear Annisa, Today, Uganda passed the "Kill the Gays" bill through the Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee of Parliament. The bill, which would allow extreme punishment of "aggravated homosexuality," will now be put up to vote in Ugandan Parliament as early as next week. This bill's original version calls for the death penalty for being gay or committing an "illegal sex act". "Aggravated homosexuality" can also lead to the death penalty. People are charged with "aggravated homosexuality" when they're punished for multiple "violations," which can include actions such as renting a room to a gay person, donating to a gay cause, fighting for gay rights, or not reporting a gay person to law enforcement. Straight individuals can be charged with these offenses as well.  Though Uganda is claiming that the death penalty is now no longer included in the legislation, many human rights activists feel that Parliament can easily add that provision back in once the bill's passed. People should not have to fear for their freedom, safety, and their very lives because of their sexual orientations. Will you sign the petition to stand with LGBT people and their straight allies in Uganda? Thank you for taking action, Kathleen J. Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team

Hot Comment: Quick, calculate me another way to profit From the Vault: Why Does Everyone Hate Microsoft? Watch It: DIY Plate Reverb  Poll Booth: I double check my spam filters ... Ask Richard Stallman Anything Richard Stallman (RMS) founded the GNU Project in 1984, the Free Software Foundation in 1985, and remains one of the most important and outspoken advocates for software freedom. He's agreed to answer your questions about GNU/Linux, free software, and anything else you like. Sound Off>> Will Intel Kill Enthusiast PCs? Intel's next generation of x86 CPUs, Broadwell, will not come in a package having pins, according to a report on SemiAccurate. Hence, manufacturers will have to solder it onto motherboards. That will likely seriously wound the enthusiast PC market. Sound Off>> Windows 8 PCs Still Throttled by Crapware Lurking below the surface of Windows 8's clean and spiffy new Metro UI is one of the operating system's oldest and most hated problems--crapware. After all this time and negative press, you'd think we'd see the end of it with the new Windows 8 PCs. Wrong. Sound Off>> Is Ad Blocking the Next Legal Battleground? While there is little cause for concern right now, what would happen if big advertisers declare AdBlock Plus a clear and present danger to online business models? Hint: it will probably involve lawyers. Sound Off>> How Do We Program Moral Machines? If your driverless car is about to crash into a school bus, should it veer off a bridge? The computer will have to make the call. NYU Prof. Gary Marcus writes about the need to program ethics and morality into our future machines. Sound Off>> Quick, calculate me another way to profit.

Read More>> DIY Plate Reverb Many audio purists prefer the analog sound of vinyl records to the digital sound of MP3s or CDs insist on real analog reverb. And among the many types of analog reverbs, Jim Cunnigham's Ecoplate is considered by many to be the best. Mike Storey wanted an Ecoplate so badly that he spent eight months building one. Find out how he did it. Watch the Video>> I double check my spam filters ... Never! I figure they work well enough. Rarely, by happenstance - once in a blue moon. Regularly but not frequently (6 months, say) Somewhat regularly (every several weeks) Once a week Once a day or more often. I don't use any spam filters.

Guest Post: Valentine's Day from Kisseo eCards

You might have noticed we've been hibernating for the winter, but the inner romantic in all of us at FunnySpoon had to come out for Valentine's Day! So we teamed up with our friends at Kisseo eCards to give you some last-minute do's and don'ts for Valentine's Day. We wish you all a special day tomorrow!

Either you're sick of all our Valentine's Day articles or you're excited for tomorrow! For those of you who aren't overloaded on candy hearts, we have one more post for you in our series and we feel like we've saved the best for last: What to Eat on Valentine's Day.

Because what's more exciting than indulgent food, right? OK, we can think of one thing but this isn't that type of blog!

With a little help from our friends at FunnySpoon.com, we've compiled the ultimate Eat vs. Don't Eat Guide for Valentine's Day. Get your appetites ready!

Avoid like the plague:

• Ingredients that give you bad breath, leaving you unkissable at the end of the night. Examples: excessive amounts of onion or garlic.
• Anything that could potentially get stuck in your teeth. Examples: Pesto and oregano.
• Any foods that leave your stomach feeling unsettled so you have to cut the date short or make an embarrassing dash for the bathroom. Examples: Beans or Indian food.
• Ingredients one of you could be allergic to. The last thing you want is to swell up like a chipmunk, break out in a rash or start coughing hysterically. Examples: strawberries, nuts, shellfish.
• Food that is hard to eat. You'll be focusing on eating instead of conversing! Examples: lobster in the shell, escargot.
• Anything with chopsticks unless you're both experienced. No need to complicated things!
• Anything messy. 'Nuff said.
• Anything that requires you to eat with your hands, other than sides like bread. Examples: oysters
• Any dish too spicy runs the risk of breaking out in a sweat when you're trying to appear cool and collected. Examples: jalapenos, certain ethnic foods

Wondering what in the world is left? Try this easy and delicious V-day menu! It's ready in a snap so you can focus more on your date:

Spinach Fettuccine Alfredo & Chicken

Roasted Winter Vegetables

Chocolate Truffles

And before you fire up the stove, be sure to fire off a Valentine's Day ecard to your sweetheart!

I'm thinking of you

Koala love
