Anthony Weiner caught in another sext scandal: report


Anthony Weiner Has Allegedly Been Sexting a 15-Year-Old

Anthony Weiner, the Congressman who resigned from office after pursuing women on Twitter and sending lewd photographs of himself, is in the spotlight again for all the wrong reasons. USA TODAY

Anthony Weiner, theCongressman who resigned from office after pursuing women on Twitter and sending lewd photographs of himself, is in the spotlight again for all the wrong reasons.

While his wife, Huma Abedin, is off campaigning for former secretary of State Hillary Clinton, theNew York Postreported Weiner has been sexting another woman at one point posting a raunchy selfie with his 4-year-old son in the background.

The Postpublished the selfie, which shows Weiner wearing only white boxer briefs. His son is lying next to him in a green blanket. The tabloid also shared screenshots of the pair"s exchanges,which began in late January 2015 after Weiner direct messaged her on Twitter. Their conversations continued through earlier this month.

Here"s how the "cringe-inducing" image of him next to his son came to fruition, according toThe Post.

Weiner was clearly aroused by his conversation with the 40-something divorcee when he abruptly changed the subject.

Someone just climbed into my bed, Weiner wrote.

Really? she responded.

Weiner then hit send on the cringe-inducing image, which shows a bulge in his white, Jockey-brand boxer briefs and his son cuddled up to his left, wrapped in a light-green blanket.

You do realize you can see you[r] Weiner in that pic?? the woman wrote.

Moments after forwarding the photo, Weiner freaked out over the possibility he had accidentally posted it publicly just as he did during the infamous episode that forced him to resign from Congress in 2011.

In case you forgot, the picture that circulated in 2011 was one of the then-Congressman"s boxer briefs . Weiner denied sending the photo and claimed his Twitter account had been hacked before ultimately admitting totexting lewd pictures of himself to multiple women.

Despite claims that he had gone to a therapist, it became clear during the 2014 New York City mayoral race that the sexting scandals were not behind him.

Reports surfaced about other messages Weiner sent women even after his resignation from Congress. He acknowledged the messages but stayed in the race before conceding that September.

This time, Weiner didn"t deny the relationship with the woman. Instead, he admitted they have been friends for some time. Weiner told The Post, she has asked me not to comment except to say that our conversations were private, often included pictures of her nieces and nephews and my son and were always appropriate."

Survivor Cast Evacuates for the First Time in 33 Seasons: Watch the Dramatic Escape


Destiny"s Child - Survivor (Official Video) ft. Da Brat

Survivor has pitted members of two frequently sparring generations against each other for its landmark 33rd seasonMillenials and Gen Xers are facing off in the Vanua and Talaki tribesbut they had to come together in the premiere when everyone from the cast was evacuated from Fiji due to a dangerous cyclone that was heading straight toward the camps on just the second day of competition.

Obviously evacuating the teams is the last resort, so before the tribes had to leave their camps, host Jeff Probst and the producers sent each of them a tarp.

"This is an unusually powerful storm and it"s going to last a bit longer. I know you haven"t had enough time to build a shelter, so as a gesture of goodwill I"m offering this tarp as protection until you can build your own. When the weather clears, bring it back to me," read the tree mail note.

Some of the smarter contestants could tell that the tarp meant something horrible, and sure enough, Probst himself paid a visit to both camps just a few hours later.

"The storm is getting worse so we sent the tarp over this morning; thought maybe that would help you guys weather it, but in the last few hours it"s been upgraded again. It is now a cyclone and the prediction is tonight it"s going to be much harder than last week. So, for the first time in 33 seasons of Survivor, we are going to evacuate," he told the Vanua tribe.

Naturally, production still got artsy shots of the Millenials evacuating, but the Gen Xers didn"t have enough time for those before nature took its course.

The next morning, both tribes returned to destructionand a large tree had fallen on the shelter wehre the Talaki tribe had intended to sleep.

"That was definitely a saving grace that Jeff made that decision to do that," praised one of the evacuees.

Watch the scary moment above! Survivor airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on CBS.

The Weeknd Shares Title and Cover Art for His Upcoming, Prince/Talking Heads-Influenced Album


The Weeknd Reveals Title & Cover Art For New Album

The Weeknd has just shared the title and cover for his next album the follow-up to 2013sBeauty Behind the Madness on social media platforms. Its calledStarboy, and the cover sees a blue-lit Abel Tesfaye very intensely holding his downcast (and, as Twitter has emphatically noticed, de-hairdo-ed) head, while staring towards the camera, with the added intensity of an immense cross around his neck and a saturated red backdrop. Aka, this:

AsEntertainment Weeklypoints out, the executive VP of The Weeknds label recently confirmed that he was working in collaboration with Daft Punk; whether or not the two projects are at all related remains to be seen.

In speaking with Vmanearlier this month, Tesfaye noted some of the influences of the album:

There are new inspirations on this album. The production feels aggressive but still sexy. The Smiths, Bad Brains, Talking Heads, Prince, and DeBarge play roles. We wrote it all in Los Angeles. I think itll be the best-sounding album Ive ever done. Its hard to label the sound because, when I first came out, nobody would label it R&B. I just want to keep pushing the envelope without it feeling forced.

Presumably, given the following Tweet, the album will be out this fall:

Autumnal Equinox | KWQC-TV6


Autumnal Equinox (Narsilion)

Fall will officially arrive Thursday morning at 9:21AM and the first day of fall is officially known as the Autumnal Equinox. You know the day where we get exactly 12 hours of day and night. Well, that isnt exactly true and viewer Mark Armstrong from Erie, Illinois wanted to know why and Im sure he is not the only one.

There are a couple of reasons why sunrise and sunset arent exactly 12 hours apart on the equinox. Number one has to do with our atmosphere. It refracts (bends) light so it actually makes the sun appear higher than it actually is creating more sunlight than if we had no atmosphere. This means we are able to see the sun before it actually rises. Number two has to deal with how we define sunrise and sunset. We define sunrise as when we first see light on the horizon from the suns disk and not the center of the sun. Obviously the tip of the sun will visible before the center of the sun creating more sunlight. Same goes for sunset. It is defined when the last part of the sun disk goes below the horizon and not the center. For these reasons above mid latitude areas, like here, dont actually have 12 hours of day and night until a few days after the Autumnal equinox and a few days before the Vernal equinox. Happy fall!

A September to remember for, yes, the Braves


HELL YES! - Battlefield 1 Conquest, Tanks, Medic Class Changes Confirmed by DICE

It being football season, maybe youve stopped tracking the Braves. Maybe you got so fed up that you tuned out way back when it was basketball season. Maybe you should consider giving them another look. What they were is not what are and, better yet, what theyre becoming.

Beggaring-belief stats: The Braves, who finished next-to-last among the 30 MLB teams in scoring in 2014, dead last in 2015 and were again last as of the All-Star break, rank fifth in scoring and first first! in batting average and on-base percentage since. Thats not an improvement. Thats a transformation.

The past four days have seen the Braves take four games from the Nationals and the Mets, playoff-caliber opponents. If you think, Its September and nobody cares, be advised that the Nats and Mets care very much. The team we once feared might lose 120 games probably wont lose 100, and if the Braves had gotten a bit better pitching theyre 28th in post-break ERA they mightnt have lost 90.

We wondered when, perhaps even if, a corner would be turned. It just was. This organization is no longer in full-blown rebuild mode. Not two full years after John Coppolella and John Hart were given control, this bears the bold look of a franchise again on the rise.

Of his teams newfound offensive prowess, Coppolella said Tuesday: Its a great credit to our hitters and to (hitting coaches) Kevin Seitzer and Jose Castro. Its also a credit to getting right mix in here. Matt Kemp has been great for us.

The Braves general manager likes his numbers, but he concedes that not everything in baseball can be quantified. If we go by Baseball-Reference, Kemps WAR (wins above replacement) value as a Brave is minus-0.2. Still, his presence has helped lend this batting order a balance it has lacked since 2013, and even that powerful assemblage was literally a hit-or-miss thing.

Your top of the lineup now: Ender Inciarte, Adonis Garcia, Freddie Freeman, Kemp, Nick Markakis, the worst of whom is batting .272. (Also: Lefty, righty, lefty, righty, lefty.) We cannot credit Kemp with everything Inciarte and Markakis started to hit before Kemp was acquired; Freeman has crushed everything since mid-June but this is no longer a discordant everyday eight of Freddie and the Banjo Hitters. This is a real batting order.

In the dark days of April and May, wed have said there was one keeper Freeman among the starting eight. This surge has made us (and surely the Braves) rethink many thoughts. Example: If the 31-year-old Adonis Garcia is your second-best hitter, youre in trouble; if hes youre sixth-best, hes probably worth keeping as your 2017 third baseman.

Another: Where once we asked if the Braves had any outfielders, they figure to go to spring training with something approaching a surplus: Kemp, Inciarte, Markakis and Mallex Smith. Said Coppolella: Its good to be dealing from a position of strength.

And heres the best part: The strongest part of this organization remains its minor leagues. The top three affiliates Class A Rome, Class AA Mississippi and Class AAA Gwinnett made their respective leagues playoffs. Each won a postseason series. Rome took the South Atlantic title.

Last month, Royals GM Dayton Moore once John Schuerholzs deputy here stressed the importance of building from within and of young talent growing as a team. You can buy players, Moore said, but if they havent come up together, they wont play the same way.

Said Coppolella: Rome was our flagship. Our (meaning this administrations) first four draft picks were on that team. Thats where we started over. Higher up were guys we traded for.

Actually, two trade acquisitions Touki Toussaint and Max Fried comprised half of Romes playoff rotation. The other half: Mike Soroka and Kolby Allard, the Braves top two draftees in 2015. The third baseman was Austin Riley, their third draftee last year; he hit two homers in the title series.

It was great seeing that Rome team, seeing all those arms, Coppolella said. We arent winning (at Rome) with old guys. Were winning with kids. Thats the way Dayton built the Royals. Theres a bond being built.

In Dansby Swanson, who has been as good as advertised, weve seen the tip of the first wave of New Braves. Rio Ruiz was promoted last week. Ozzie Albies will be here soon. Then maybe Riley and Ronald Acuna and surely many of those young arms. (Down the road: Kevin Maitan.) Coppolellas vision of wave after wave of young talent doesnt seem such a pipe dream, does it?

As to other matters: Coppolella reiterated that the biggest needs for the offseason are catching Though weve been very pleased with Tyler Flowers; hes been everything we hoped he would be and big-league-ready starting pitching. Weve seen the struggles of our young pitchers, all of whom we still have faith in. But we need to win more games next year. Its more likely well do that through free agents than in trade because we dont want to give up any kids.

We figured the Braves kids would be all right, given that this farm system is rated baseballs best. What we didnt expect was that a lousy big-league team would stop being lousy. Good stuff is starting to happen. Better stuff is coming.
