MVP- Most Voluptuous Player, DWIGHT HOWARD

Dwight David Howard (born December 8, 1985)

is an American basketball player for the Orlando Magic of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Howard, who usually plays center but can also play power forward, had an outstanding high school career at Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy.

He chose to forgo college and entered the 2004 NBA Draft, and was selected first overall by the Magic. A three-time All-Star, three-time All-NBA team selection, two-time All-Defensive member, and the 2009 Defensive Player of the Year, Howard has been ranked consistently as one of the best in the league in rebounds, blocks, field goal percentage and free throw attempts, and has set numerous franchise and league records. He has led the Magic to two division titles and one conference title, and he was the winner of the 2008 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. In the 2008 Olympics, he was the starting center for Team USA, which went on to win the gold medal.

Before he was drafted in 2004, Howard said that he wanted to use his NBA career and Christian faith to "raise the name of God within the league and throughout the world". In November 2009, he was named one of the 10 finalists for the Jefferson Awards for Public Service, which awards athletes for their charitable work.

PINK- GLITTER IN THE AIR (LIVE)

Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?

Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it

Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?

Have you ever looked fear in the face

And said I just don't care?

It's only half past the point of no return

The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn

The thunder before lightning, the breath before the phrase

Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?

Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone

Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?

Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It's only half past the point of oblivion

The hourglass on the table, the walk before the run

The breath before the kiss and the fear before the flames

Have you ever felt this way?

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

There you are, sitting in the garden

Clutching my coffee, calling me sugar

You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night?

Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight

Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself

Will it ever get better than tonight? Tonight

Smoke the Bigots Out of the Closet!

By Frank Rich, THE NEW YORK TIMES    2/7/2010

A funny thing happened after Adm. Mike Mullen called for gay men and lesbians to serve openly in the military: A curious silence befell much of the right. If this were a Sherlock Holmes story, it would be the case of the attack dogs that did not bark.


John McCain, commandeering the spotlight as usual, did fulminate against the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell.” But the press focus on McCain, the crazy man in Washington’s attic, was misleading. His yapping was an exception, not the rule.


Many of his Republican colleagues said little or nothing. The right’s noise machine was on mute. The Fox News report on Mullen’s testimony was fair and balanced — and brief. The network dropped the subject entirely in the Hannity-O’Reilly hothouse of prime time that night. Only ratings-desperate CNN gave a fleeting platform to the old homophobic clichés. Michael O’Hanlon, an “expert” from the Brookings Institution, speculated that “18-year-old, old-fashioned, testosterone-laden” soldiers who are “tough guys” might object to those practicing “alternative forms of lifestyle,” which he apparently views as weak and testosterone-deficient. His only prominent ally was the Family Research Council, which issued an inevitable “action alert” demanding a stop to “the sexualization of our military.”


The occasional outliers notwithstanding, why did such a hush greet Mullen on Capitol Hill? The answer begins with the simple fact that a large majority of voters — between 61 percent and 75 percent depending on the poll — now share his point of view. Most Americans recognize that being gay is not a “lifestyle” but an immutable identity, and that outlawing discrimination against gay people who want to serve their country is, as the admiral said, “the right thing to do.”


Mullen’s heartfelt, plain-spoken testimony gave perfect expression to the nation’s own slow but inexorable progress on the issue. He said he had “served with homosexuals since 1968” and that his views had evolved “cumulatively” and “personally” ever since. So it has gone for many other Americans in all walks of life. As more gay people have come out — a process that accelerated once the modern gay rights movement emerged from the Stonewall riots of 1969 — so more heterosexuals have learned that they have gay relatives, friends, neighbors, teachers and co-workers. It is hard to deny our own fundamental rights to those we know, admire and love.


But that’s not the whole explanation for the scant pushback in Washington to Mullen and his partner in change, Defense Secretary Robert Gates. There is also a potent political subtext. To a degree unimaginable as recently as 2004 — when Karl Rove and George W. Bush ran a national campaign exploiting fear of gay people — there is now little political advantage to spewing homophobia. Indeed, anti-gay animus is far more likely to repel voters than attract them. This equation was visibly eating at Orrin Hatch, the Republican senator from Utah, as he vamped nervously with Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC last week, trying to duck any discernible stand on Mullen’s testimony. On only one point was he crystal clear: “I just plain do not believe in prejudice of any kind.”


Now that explicit anti-gay animus is an albatross, those who oppose gay civil rights are driven to invent ever loopier rationales for denying those rights, whether in the military or in marriage. Hatch, for instance, limply suggested to Mitchell that a repeal of “don’t ask” would lead to gay demands for “special rights.” Such arguments, both preposterous and disingenuous, are mere fig leaves to disguise the phobia that can no longer dare speak its name. If gay Americans are to be granted full equality, the flimsy rhetorical camouflage must be stripped away to expose the prejudice that lies beneath.


The arguments for preserving “don’t ask” have long been blatantly groundless. McCain — who said in 2006 that he would favor repealing the law if military leaders ever did — didn’t even bother to offer a logical explanation for his mortifying flip-flop last week. He instead huffed that the 1993 “don’t ask” law should remain unchanged as long as any war is going on (which would be in perpetuity, given Afghanistan). Colin Powell strafed him just hours later, when he announced that changed “attitudes and circumstances” over the past 17 years have led him to agree with Mullen. McCain is even out of step with his own family’s values. Both his wife, Cindy, and his daughter Meghan have posed for the current California ad campaign explicitly labeling opposition to same-sex marriage as hate.


McCain aside, the most common last-ditch argument for preserving “don’t ask” heard last week, largely from Southern senators, is to protect “troop morale and cohesion.” Every known study says this argument is a canard, as do the real-life examples of the many armies with openly gay troops, including those of Canada, Britain and Israel. But the argument does carry a telling historical pedigree. When Harry Truman ordered the racial integration of the American military in 1948, Congressional opponents (then mainly Southern Democrats) embraced an antediluvian Army prediction from 1940 stating that such a change would threaten national defense by producing “situations destructive to morale.” History will sweep this bogus argument away now as it did then.


Those opposing same-sex marriage are just as eager to mask their bigotry. The big arena on that issue is now in California, where the legal showdown over Proposition 8 is becoming a Scopes trial of sorts, with the unlikely bipartisan legal team of David Boies and Ted Olson in the Clarence Darrow role. The opposing lawyer, Charles Cooper, insisted to the court that he bore neither “ill will nor animosity for gays and lesbians.” Given the history of the anti-same-sex marriage camp, it’s hard to make that case with a straight face (so to speak). In trying to do so, Cooper moved that graphic evidence of his side’s ill will and animosity be disallowed — including that notorious, fear-mongering television ad, “The Gathering Storm.”


The judge admitted such exhibits anyway. Boies also triumphed in dismantling an expert witness called to provide the supposedly empirical, non-homophobic evidence of how same-sex marriage threatens “procreative marriage.” In cross-examination, Boies forced the witness, David Blankenhorn of the so-called Institute for American Values, to concede he had no academic expertise in any field related to marriage or family. The only peer-reviewed paper he’s written, for a degree in Comparative Labor History, was “a study of two cabinetmakers’ unions in 19th-century Britain.”


In another, milder cross-examination — on “Meet the Press” last weekend — John Boehner, the House G.O.P. leader, fended off a question about “don’t ask” with a rhetorical question of his own: “In the middle of two wars and in the middle of this giant security threat, why would we want to get into this debate?” Besides Mullen’s answer — that it is the right thing to do — there’s another, less idealistic reason why President Obama might want to get into it. The debate could blow up in the Republicans’ faces. A protracted battle or filibuster in which they oppose civil rights will end up exposing the deep prejudice at the root of their arguments. That’s not where a party trying to expand beyond its white Dixie base and woo independents wants to be in 2010.


Polls consistently show that independents, however fiscally conservative, are closer to Democrats than Republicans on social issues. (In May’s Gallup survey, 67 percent of independents favored repealing “don’t ask.”) This is why Scott Brown, enjoying what may be a short-lived honeymoon in his own party, calls himself a “Scott Brown Republican.” A Scott Brown Republican isn’t a Boehner or Hatch Republican. In his interview with Barbara Walters last weekend, he distanced himself from Sarah Palin, said he was undecided on “don’t ask” and declared same-sex marriage a “settled” issue in his state, Massachusetts, where it is legal.


It’s in this political context that we can see that there may have been some method to Obama’s troublesome tardiness on gay issues after all. But as we learned about this White House and the Democratic Congress in the health care debacle, they are perfectly capable of dropping the ball at any moment. Let’s hope they don’t this time. Should they actually press forward on “don’t ask” in an election year with Mullen and Gates on board — and with even McCain’s buddy, Joe Lieberman, calling for action “as soon as possible” — they could further the goal and raise the political price for those who stand in the way. Recalcitrant Congressional Republicans will have to explain why their perennial knee-jerk deference to “whatever the commanders want” extends to Gen. David Petraeus and Gen. Stanley McChrystal on troop surges but not to Mullen, who outranks them, on civil rights.


The more bigotry pushed out of the closet for all voters to see, the more likely it is that Americans will be moved to grant overdue full citizenship to gay Americans. It won’t happen overnight, any more than full civil rights for African-Americans immediately followed Truman’s desegregation of the armed forces. But there can be no doubt that Mike Mullen’s powerful act of conscience last week, just as we marked the 50th anniversary of the Greensboro, N.C., lunch counter sit-in, pushed history forward. The revealing silence that followed from so many of the usual suspects was pretty golden too.

How to get that SPRING body in 8 weeks

No matter what time of the year it is, it seems that the spring bathing suit panic, er, season, is just around the corner. As soon as we open that last Christmas present, it's time to make that New Year's Resolution to lose weight, trim up, get into shape, get healthier, or what have you. The thing is, long term weight loss plans rarely work. Why? Because we wait until the last minute to get into shape, fail, and then get discouraged. However, if you find that the season of swimsuits and sleeveless shirts is fast closing in upon you, you can actually turn the pressure into motivation. Give yourself eight weeks, and you'll be able to see results that will end with fewer tears in the dressing room come spring.  Check it out...

During the first two weeks, just work on revving up your routine again. If you are already maintaining a fitness or weight loss program, that's great. Just turn it up a notch with higher intensity workouts, longer sessions, more frequent trips to the gym, or whatever will force you to work a little harder during the home stretch. Chances are, however, that if you are reading this, your aren't already working out. If that's the case, start slowly. If you try to do too much, you'll give up quickly out of frustration. No one expects you to go from couch potato today to marathon runner tomorrow. Try taking a brisk, twenty minute walk after dinner for the first few days, and then try adding another brisk walk in the morning. At the same time, take a look at your diet and just begin taking note of things. When do you eat the most? What is your most vulnerable overeating time? Do you notice any patterns or habits that could be single handedly sabotaging your weight loss plan? Write it all down. Just practicing this habit every single day will cause you to make wiser dietary choices by simply making you more aware of what you are putting into your body.

 

During weeks three and four, it's time to step it up. Exercise every day for at least 45 minutes at as high an intensity as you are comfortable with (of course, talk to your doctor first if you have any pre-existing health problems or if it has been quite a while since you last exercised). Also, add a strength training routine that works all of the major muscle groups of the body. If you have a gym membership, ask a staff member to help you figure out what you can handle. If you are looking to do more than just tone (in other words, if you want to add muscle), be sure to add weight to your machines as you are able to in the following weeks. Otherwise, you can lift at close to the same weight level for the following weeks in order to simply tone and define your muscles. Either way, you will be quickly sculpting your body, and this is the quickest way to see results in your fitness program. Keep up with your strength training routine religiously, but do remember to give yourself 24 hours to recuperate between each session.



During the weeks five and six, start concentrating on really toning those body parts that matter most during hot weather months. We're talking about the chest, arms and abs for men, and the arms, abs, and legs for women. Take an honest look at yourself in the mirror and focus in on what body part needs the most work, while also taking into consideration how much that body part will actually be shown during the spring and summer. In other words, if your stomach seems to need the most help, but you have no desire to show it even if it were in good condition, move on to the next part. Many women often find that their arms are what they need to work on first, considering that it is difficult to conceal them when the weather is hot. Men often find themselves working on their chests, as swimming and other outdoor activities traditionally require them to expose that area. Whatever body part you decide is crucial, begin working on toning and sculpting it separately. If your arms need the most work, really pump them during your walks and do extra upper body exercises during your strength training. Give that part special attention for the next few weeks.

During weeks seven and eight, start increasing your intake of water even more (something you should have been doing all along), decrease your sodium intake, decrease your sugar intake, add more sculpting exercises to improve on your "crucial" areas (consider adding extras crunches, squats, and push-ups), and really focus in on toning. You won't be able to lose a substantial amount of weight in those last two weeks (probably not more than 2-4 lbs) so don't kill yourself in an attempt to do so. Work on improving the appearance of your body by shaping it and reducing flab. Also, keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat, so you may not have lost as much weight as you would have liked, but you have converted fat into muscle, which is perfectly fine. In turn, muscle burns fat faster, so the more muscle you build, the better able you are to lose weight and keep it off.
 
At the end of eight weeks, you will notice a leaner, more toned body, and will hopefully (and most likely) have lost a few pounds of excess flab if you have watched your diet as well. Don't stop there, though. You can decrease the intensity of your workouts, but keep up an exercise and strength training routine for good. That way, come next spring, you won't have to work so hard to get ready. You'll already be there.

FLASHBACK- "Son Of A Gun"

NFL Star Eric Green Accused of Sodomy by Transvestite

San Francisco 49er Eric Green was slapped with a $10 million lawsuit filed in a Florida federal court by a transvestite.

According to court documents, Green, 27, met Angelina Mavilia, 38, at a Scottsdale, Ariz., casino last year when he was playing for the Cardinals. The pair struck up a conversation and left the gambling spot thereafter. Green allegedly invited Mavilia back to his condo.

Court documents state that once they arrived at his home, Green got "extremely agitated and threatening." Mavilia then alleges that the cornerback sodomized her and warned, "This never happened. You'd better not tell."

In a separate action, Mavilia is also suing the city of New York. Back in October 2008, she claims she was dehumanized by members of the New York City Police Department after being arrested for trespassing in a Manhattan housing complex. She accuses a female cop of making her feel like the brunt of a very poor and disparaging joke. Mavilia said she was ordered to remove her undergarments by the police woman. Upon removing her undies, the cop stared at her genitals and mockingly proclaimed, "It's a girl!"

Mavilia said she was once again asked to strip down by a corrections officer before being placed in a cell alongside a man. She alleges that the officer made her feel less than human by belittling her and reminding her of the fact that she was not born a female. Mavilia accuses the officer of berating her about the plastic surgery job she underwent as well.

Former NBA All-Star Marbury to play with professional team in China

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (CP) – Jan 18, 2010

BEIJING — Stephon Marbury reached an agreement to play for a professional team in China.

Shanxi announced it was bringing in the former NBA all-star guard on Monday. In a release, the team said it expected Marbury to play his first game on Jan. 27 against Qingdao.

Wang Xingjiang, head of the Shanxi team, called the signing of Marbury "a reward to our fans" to help a struggling team.

"Marbury's salary is not an astronomical figure because by coming here he also hopes to open up the Chinese market and sell his shoes," Wang said, referring to the guard's line of Starbury basketball shoes and apparel.

Based in the northern city of Taiyuan, 400 kilometres from the capital Beijing, Shanxi is 3-10 and in 12th place in a 17-team league.

The 32-year-old Marbury played 13 seasons in the NBA with Minnesota, New Jersey, Phoenix, New York and Boston. He averaged 19.3 points in his career.

He played 23 games with the Celtics last season after a messy split from the Knicks.

In an interview posted on Shanxi's website, Marbury said he wasn't daunted by the language barrier.

"I'll communicate with the fans through my basketball," Marbury said. "I think this will be a unique experience. To go overseas to play ball, to live, for me it's a challenge."

Known for his YouTube online video postings and off-kilter sense of humour, Marbury had a turbulent tenure with his hometown Knicks, feuding with coaches Larry Brown and Isiah Thomas before leaving under a buyout last spring.

Having gone more than a year without playing a regular season game, he saw little action at Boston before becoming a free agent last summer.

Marbury joins another NBA alum at Shanxi: Nigerian centre Olumide Oyedeji, who played two seasons for the Seattle SuperSonics and another for the Orlando Magic.

The 15-year-old Chinese league has struggled with the loss of its biggest star, Houston Rockets centre Yao Ming.

S.C. Republican Lt. Gov.: Poor like 'stray animals'

South Carolina Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer has compared those on government assistance to “stray animals,” saying that the reason you stop feeding animals is that “they breed.”


Bauer is one of the leading Republican candidates for governor and gained national prominence after calling on Republican Gov. Mark Sanford to resign after his admission to an affair with an Argentine woman. But Bauer now finds himself in hot water for his remarks to a town hall meeting on Friday.


“My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed,” Bauer said during a speech advocating that the government take away assistance to those who do not pass drug tests.


“You’re facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply,” Bauer added, according to a report in the Greenville News. “They will reproduce, especially ones that don’t think too much further than that. And so what you’ve got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don’t know any better.”


Bauer, who grew up in a working-class family, said parents whose children receive free, or subsidized, lunches at school should stop receiving government benefits if they do not attend parent-teacher conferences.


“You go to a school where there’s an active participation of parents, and guess what? They have the highest test scores,” Bauer said. “So what do you do? You say, ‘Look folks, if you receive goods or services from the government and you don't attend a parent-teacher conference, bam, you lose your benefits.’”


The comments have become the focus of the state’s heated gubernatorial campaign, dominating headlines in South Carolina’s political press.


Bauer did not respond to a request to comment, but has defended the remarks by saying the “stray animals” comparison was taken out of context.

Help Democrats Find Their Balls!

When George Bush was President, his administration watched over every tiny election, smeared people, bullied news organizations, got us into an unwise war, and on and on. Once every four years, when election time came, Bush would become kinder and gentler and pretend to care about more than his base.

Obama's Administration so far has ignored every election until its too late. HORRIBLE candidates have been allowed to run their fucked up campaigns with no leadership until its too late. The Democratic candidate for Gov. of VA in 09 and the Democratic candidate for Sen. of Mass. in 010 were AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL.. because nobody with power, or brains, but esp BALLS was paying attention.


Obama thinks that, just like Bush became "warmer" every four years, that he can "fire up" his base at every election while ignoring us the rest of the time. It dont work like that.. We need to see your staff (not just you) on every channel FIGHTING BACK, everyday!

Obama had better start paying attention to his base and FAST.  With The White House, The Congress AND The Senate,  Democrats have more power right now that the Republicans have had since the 1920's but power means nothing without BALLS.

Heres whats up politicians.. we've figured you guys out.. you stand for what you stand for unless it will cost you the next election. LISTEN UP ASSHOLES.. you are suppose to govern, you are supposed to do what you know is right and if it costs you the next election then.. YOU HAVE DONE YOUR JOB! You are not

entitled to a lifetime in your political position! Govern and go! Worrying and not governing makes you feckless and weak!




DO WHAT YOU KNOW IS RIGHT, govern for the people and not for the next election. Because the people have figured you guys out.. and if you have The White House, The Congress and The Senate but dont have THE BALLS to lead because your worrying about the next election..  your going TO LOSE that next election anyway because your not doing what we elected you to do.

Obama needs to take back the airwaves, and campaign for the issues important to his base the way he campaigned for himself. Oh, and the campaign is everyday.. you cant afford to let anything slip past you, you cant afford to take anything for granted.

Black people voted for Obama over 93% (this is just an example) .... name another President that would ignore such a huge block of voters?  Now, I support the President but I want him to HAVE THE BALLS TO DO WHAT HE KNOWS IS RIGHT.. instead of worrying about the next election. PLEASE, Mr, President dont re-discover that your black when you get into trouble.. that tired trick might have worked for OJ and Prez. Clinton but it wont work for you because PEOPLE ARE SCREAMING FOR YOU TO USE YOUR POWER AND YOU KEEP PLAYING FOOTSY WITH REPUBLICANS ..... the people who voted for you and who you want to vote for your party are waiting for LEADERSHIP WITH BALLS!

You need talking points for all Dems around the country,  you need to tell the millions of people who fought for you in the past what we need to do ON A WEEKLY BASIS, you need to fight for what your base wants EVERYDAY YOU ARE IN OFFICE, and you need to STOP worrying about the NEXT election and govern now, you need to FIND YOUR BALLS!

The White House, The Senate and The Congress is a lot of power to people with BALLS. If you dont use your power, then you will just be a speedbump to another Republican Majority.  And you wont even have tha ability to say you did big things for your base and the country because YOU HAD NO BALLS!

Oh,.. and guess what that Republican majority will do as soon as they are in power... big things for their base! because they have BALLS (no brains, but balls).

PLEASE DEMOCRATS search your hearts, your bodies, your souls or go to the nearest Sporting Goods Store and FIND SOME BALLS. Because we're not fighting for you if you cant fight for yourselves... we are NOT going to let you ignore us until you need our votes.

FIND YOUR BALLS AND FIGHT!  YES...YOU...CAN!

MASS BACKWARDS!

LETTERMAN TALKS @ LENO, CONAN AND THE IDIOTS AT NBC

Danger Says "Ray-J and Young Buck Are Lovers"

LIFE LESSON- WHEN AND HOW TO APOLOGIZE

One key to getting along well with people is knowing when to say you're sorry. Sometimes little comments or actions can hurt or offend others. Heavy workloads and stress may keep us from seeing how our actions make others feel. The little things can add up. It doesn't take long for someone to hold a grudge and for grudges to grow into conflicts. In most cases, if someone is offended by something you do or say, it's much better to apologize right away. That solves the small problem and keeps it from getting bigger.


It's hard to apologize. Many of us are ashamed or have too much pride. Sometimes we just don't know how to do it. Here are some tips that may make it easier to say you're sorry.


Take responsibility. The first step in apologizing is to admit to yourself that you have offended someone. You may know this right away, or the other person's reaction may let you know you have done something hurtful. But you must admit you have done wrong and accept responsibility for your actions.


Explain. It's important to let the person you hurt know that you didn't mean to do harm. At the same time, you must show that you take your mistake seriously. Recognize that your actions caused a problem for the other person.


Show your regret. The other person needs to see that you have suffered, too. Come right out and say you are sorry or ashamed. I felt bad the minute I told your secret. I'm ashamed of myself.


Repair the damage. To be complete, an apology must correct the injury. If you damaged someone's property, offer to fix it. If the damage isn't so obvious, ask What can I do to make it up to you? There may be nothing concrete you can do, but the offer must be sincere. I'll try to keep my mouth shut in the future. Meantime, let me buy you a cup of coffee. Another way to repair the damage is to send a note or a small gift.


Use good timing. Apologize right away for little things. For example, if you bump into someone, say you're sorry right away. Don't wait until the next day to apologize. However, if you have done something more serious, like insult a friend, your apology should be more thoughtful. A quick apology might seem phony. Take the time to sit down, look the person in the eye, and apologize honestly.


It's not about who "won" or who "lost." It's about keeping a strong friendship.

Long Way Down Lyrics

Traveled all around the world to be with you

You never know where the open road will lead you to

I crawl before I walk, still got nowhere fast

The other side still has the greener grass

Oh, you win some and you loose some yeah

Oh, and things look so much smarter from up there

I hear it's such a long way down

And the climb back up ain't as easy as it sounds

I hear it's such a long way down

And the climb back up is just something I can do without

Something I can do without

I walked until I didn't have no energy

I bought until I didn't have no bite left in me

I died so that I didn't have to live in the past

But the other side still had the greener grass

Oh, you win some and you loose some yeah

Oh, and things look so much smarter from up there

Mario Poses For PETA Advertisement "Ink Not Mink"

The advertisement of Mario on PETA is expected to raise the concern of people about indiscriminate animal slaughter. Apart from Mario, several other celebrities have posed for advertisements of PETA so that they can save the life of animals and give them an independent life. PETA has adopted several steps to support wildlife and they consider that the appeals made by celebrities would benefit the innocent animals.

Tiger Woods shirtless and pumping iron in Vanity Fair

DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Here's Tiger Woods finally looking like the sex-crazed cad we know he is.

Showing off his guns and abs and glaring at the camera, Woods looks nothing like the good guy of the greens in the Annie Liebowitz shot gracing the cover of the latest Vanity Fair.

The menacing shot - never before seen - was taken in January 2006, long before the world learned the married father of two cheated on his wife with a harem of hotties.

In the accompanying article, Buzz Bissinger interviews some of the reporters who covered Woods for years to find out how the golf great kept his catting around under wraps for so long.

Bissinger also revisits the embarrassing interview that a then-21-year-old Woods gave to Charles Pierce of GQ magazine in 1997. Woods joked about lesbian sex and the endowments of black athletes - the kind of gaffe he never repeated once he signed with super agent Mark Steinberg.

Golf blogger Joe Logan says Woods listened to his handlers and became the Sphinx of the links.

"Tiger learned very well to talk forever and say nothing," Logan says.

Michael Bamberger of Sports Illustrated said that as a partly black man in a white man's game, Woods learned how to fly below the radar.

"What seems clear now is that he lived a very abnormal life all his life in a sport in which guys are very conventional," he says. "And if you are not conventional, you get ostracized right away."

Woods even kept other golfers at arm's length, "though he was always affable, never antagonistic," writes Bizzinger.

As the story hit newsstands on Wednesday, Elin Nordegren - Woods' scorned spouse - has been celebrating her 30th birthday far from her husband in the French Alps.

Although it has been widely reported that the Woods marriage is on the rocks and Nordegren has been photographed without her wedding ring, new photos purportedly showing the Swedish siren wearing her wedding bank surfaced and sowed more confusion in the ever-evolving Tiger Tale.

Nordegren, however, has an indentical twin sister - and she too, has a wedding ring. It could not be determined which sister was photographed with the bling.

Woods has been laying low since the scandal broke Thansgiving weekend.

Nordegren has reportedly told pals that her philandering husband left a cool $300 million in her Christmas stocking.

The report, in Britain's News of the World, said it's all part of Nordegren's plan to get hers - and keep their two kids in comfort - in a coming divorce battle.

Woods has not seen his two children - Sam, 2, and 10-month-old Charlie - for more than a month and had to mail them their Christmas presents, a source told the paper.

Photographs in The Daily News over the weekend captured a carefree Nordegren hitting the slopes at France's Chamonix ski resort, a wintry wonderland where the rooms cost $8,000-a-night.
