Landmark condom law for porn filming signed by L.A. mayor Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has signed into law historic new rules requiring porn performers to wear condoms while acting in areas requiring a city film permit. The law is believed to be the first in the nation by a local government requiring condom use among porn stars, and is significant because L.A.’s San Fernando Valley is the capital of the multibillion-dollar porn industry. Many porn companies have voiced opposition to the rule. They say adult films featuring condoms don’t sell as well, and say some porn performers on lengthy film shoots prefer not to use condoms. The mayor’s approval was a huge victory for the L.A. There are a couple of potential loopholes in the ordinance, however. The other big question is how the city plans to enforce the new rule. The AIDS group has already launched a similar signature-gathering drive to mandate condom use through the L.A. Villaraigosa signed the ordinance on Monday. Mayor backs condom porn rules
Chocolate Chip Lava Cookies I am so in love with these darn chocolate lava cookies! What is it about a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie stuffed with decadent, rich, melted chocolate that makes it so irresistible?? Especially when topped with vanilla ice cream. These are one of Kev’s favorite homemade treats, and he usually asks me to make them at least once a week. They are so simple to whip up, and such a treat!

Snickerdoodle Even though I may have a legitimate recipe for something, I never stop trying out new ones just in case I discover something better. This is probably why I bake so ridiculously much; I need to test out every single recipe just so I know which one is superior compared to the rest. It may sound nuts, but it seems somewhat tangible in my head. Does that make me crazy? Maybe. This recipe beats my previous favorite snickerdoodle recipe, which I used for a solid year. An even better snickerdoodle! Ingredients 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup brown sugar 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/2 cups flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar For rolling: 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon Directions In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars with an electric mixer on high speed.
